USER MANUAL CLP-880-880M-880PE-860-860M-840-820-820S YAMAHA

Check your power supply

Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the name plate on the bottom panel. In some areas a voltage selector may be provided on the bottom panel of the main keyboard unit near the power cord. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area. The voltage selector is set at 240V when the unit is initially shipped. To change the setting use a "minus" screwdriver to rotate the selector dial so that the correct voltage appears next to the pointer on the panel.

PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

• Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings.
• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power

switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components.
• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect proper operation of the other products.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
• On the CLP-880PE, gently remove dust and dirt with a soft cloth. Do not wipe too hard since small particles of dirt can scratch the instrument's finish.
• On the CLP-880PE, bumping the surface of the instrument with metal, porcelain, or other hard objects can cause the finish to crack or peel. Use caution.

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

• (For instruments with a key cover) Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do not insert a finger or hand in the key cover gap.

• (For instruments with a key cover) Never insert or drop paper or metallic or other objects between the slits of the key cover and the keyboard. If this happens, immediately turn off the power and remove the electric plug from the outlet and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not place the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3cm /one-inch from the wall), since this can cause inadequate air circulation, and possibly result in the instrument overheating.
• Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly process. Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might result in damage to the instrument or even injury.
• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

USING THE BENCH (if included)

• Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or step-ladder or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury.
• Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the possibility of accident or injury.
• (For height-adjustable benches) Do not attempt to adjust the bench height while sitting on the bench, since this can cause excessive force to be imposed on the adjustment mechanism, possibly resulting in damage to the mechanism or even injury.
• If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten them periodically using the included tool.

SAVING USER DATA

• Save all data to an external device such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3, in order to help prevent the loss of important data due to a malfunction or user operating error.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.

1 AUX IN L/L+R and R Jacks

These jacks are intended for use with an external tone generator module such as the Yamaha DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit. The stereo outputs from the external tone generator module are connected to the AUX IN L/L+R and R jacks, allowing the sound of the tone generator to be reproduced via the Clavinova's internal sound system and speakers. A line-level mono source can be connected to the L/L+R jack.

• The input signal from the AUX IN jacks is controlled by the Clavinova's volume and brilliance (CLP-880/860/840) controls. Reverb and effect (CLP-880/860/840) functions will have no affect.
• The input signal from the AUX IN jacks is delivered to the AUX OUT jacks.

2 AUX OUT L/L+R and R Jacks

The AUX OUT L / L + R and R jacks deliver the output of the Clavinova for connection to an instrument amplifier, mixing console, PA system, or recording equipment. If you will be connecting the Clavinova to a monaural sound system, use only the L / L + R jack. When a plug is inserted into the L / L + R jack only, the left- and right-channel signals are combined and delivered via the L / L + R jack so you don't lose any of the Clavinova's sound.

• The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the AUX IN jacks, either directly or through external equipment.
• The AUX OUT jack signal is not controlled by the Clavinova's volume control. Use the volume control on the external audio equipment to adjust the level.

3 PEDAL Jack

This terminal is for connecting the pedal cord from the pedal box (refer to the "Keyboard Stand Assembly" on pages 48-67).

4 MIDI IN, THRU and OUT Connectors

The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device (such as the DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit) which can be used to control the Clavinova. The MIDI THRU connector re-transmits any data received at the MIDI IN connector, allowing "chaining" of several MIDI instruments or other devices. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by the Clavinova (e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the Clavinova keyboard).

More details on MIDI are given in "MIDI Functions" on page 34.

TO HOST Connector & HOST SELECT Switch

This jack and selector switch allow direct connection to a personal computer for sequencing and other music applications — without the need for a separate MIDI interface. See page 38 for details.

- PHONES Jacks (Bottom Panel)

Two sets of standard stereo headphones can be plugged in here for private practice or late-night playing. The internal speaker system is automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into either of the PHONES jacks.

Selecting & Playing Voices

1 Turn Power On

After making sure that the Clavinova's AC cord is properly plugged into the Clavinova itself and plugged into a convenient AC wall outlet, press the [POWER] switch located to the right of the keyboard to turn the power ON. In some areas a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin configuration of the AC wall outlets in your area.

When the power is turned ON, one of the voice selector LEDs will light, and the power indicator located below the left end of the keyboard will light (except for CLP-820S).

3 Select a Voice

Select the desired voice by pressing one of the voice selectors. Use the [VARIATION] button to select a variation of the current voice, as required.

CLP-880

4 Play

The Clavinova also offers keyboard touch response, so the volume and timbre of notes played can be controlled according to how "hard" you play the keys. The amount of variation available depends on the selected voice.

BRILLIANCE

Add Effects As Required

You can add or change reverb, effects (CLP-880/860/840) and brilliance (CLP-880/860/840) as desired by using the [REVERB] button (page 18), [EFFECT] button (page 19) and the [BRIL-LIANCE] control (page 19).

• Use the [MASTER VOLUME] control to adjust the volume.
• You can use the [TEMPO▼/▲] buttons to adjust the playback tempo as required. This produces a relative tempo variation, with a range from “-50” through “---” to “50” at maximum; the range will differ depending on the selected song.
• The default tempo "---" is automatically selected whenever a new piano song is selected, or playback of a new piano song begins during "R L L" or "r o d" playback.
• You can play the keyboard along with the piano song playback. The voice playing on the keyboard can be changed.
• You can change the Brilliance control (CLP-880/860/840) and Reverb type that is applied to the voice you play on the keyboard and for the piano song playback. You can change the Effect type (CLP-880/860/840) and Touch sensitivity that is applied to the voice you play on the keyboard. When a new piano song is selected or a new piano song is automatically started in continuous play, the HALL 1 reverb type will automatically be selected.

3 Exit From the Piano Song Mode

Press the [PIANO SONG] button to exit from the piano song mode, the indicator will go off, and return to the normal play mode.

Piano Song A-B Repeat

The A-B Repeat function can be used to continuously repeat a specified phrase within a piano song. Combined with the Part Cancel function described below, this provides an excellent way to practice difficult phrases.

1 Specify the Beginning (A) of the Phrase

Select and play a piano song, then press the [FUNCTION] button at the beginning of the phrase you want to repeat. This sets the "A" point ("R - " will appear on the display).

To set the “A” point at the very beginning of the song, press the [FUNCTION] button before starting playback.

2 Specify the End (B) of the Phrase

Press the [FUNCTION] button a second time at the end of the phrase. This sets the “B” point (“ - ” will appear on the display). At this point repeat playback will begin between the specified A and B points.

3 StopPlayback

Press the [START/STOP] button to stop playback while retaining the specified A and B points. A-B repeat playback will resume if the [START/STOP] button is then pressed again.

To cancel the A and B points press the [FUNCTION] button once.

N
]

• The A and B points are automatically canceled when a new song is selected.
• The A-B Repeat function cannot be used during "RL L" or "r-na" playback.

Piano Song Part Cancel

The 50 piano songs have separate left- and right-hand parts that can be turned on and off as required so you can practice the corresponding part on the keyboard. The right-hand part is played by the recorder's [1] track, and the left-hand part is played by recorder's [2] track. (Some of the songs are arrangements for four-hands, tracks [1] and [2] correspond to primo and secondo parts of the arrangement.)

1 Turn the Desired Part Off

Press the REORDER [1] or [2] button to turn the corresponding part off — the corresponding indicator will go out (these buttons alternately toggle the corresponding part on and off).

• The parts can be turned on or off even during playback.
• The Piano Song Part Cancel function cannot be used during "ML" or "rnd" playback.
• The "Piano Song Part Cancel Volume" function described on page 33 can be used to set the canceled part so that it plays at a volume from "0" (no sound) to "20". The default setting is "5".
• Both parts are automatically turned ON whenever a new song is selected.

2 Start/StopPlayback

Press the [START/STOP] button to start and stop playback as required.

Synchro Start

When the Synchro Start function is engaged, playback of the selected piano song will begin automatically as soon as you start playing on the keyboard.

To engage the Synchro Start function press the [START/STOP] button while holding the part button corresponding to the part which is ON. A dot will appear in the lower right corner of the display. (Repeat the previous operation to disengage the Synchro Start function.)

Playback will then start as soon as you begin playing on the keyboard.

• If you hold a track button which is OFF while pressing the [START/STOP] button, that track will be turned ON and the Synchro Start mode will be engaged.

Left Pedal Start/Stop

The left pedal can be assigned to start and stop piano song playback via the "Left Pedal Mode" function described on page 32.

The dual mode makes it possible to play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard.

Voice numbering priority

To activate the dual mode simply press two voice selectors at the same time (or press one voice selector while holding another). The voice indicators of both selected voices will light when the dual mode is active. To return to the normal single-voice play mode, press any single voice selector.

According to the voice numbering priority as shown in the diagram on the left, lower valued voice numbers will be designated as the 1st Voice (the other voice will be designated as the 2nd Voice).

The [STRINGS] [VARIATION] voice has a slow attack. This voice can sometimes be used with another voice in the Dual Mode to produce a better "blend".

• The dual and split modes (CLP-880/860) cannot be engaged at the same time.

• The [VARIATION] button indicator will light if the variation is engaged for either or both of the dual-mode voices. While the dual mode is engaged the [VARIATION] button can be used to turn the variation for both voices on or off. To use the variation for only one of the voices the setting must be made prior to engaging the dual mode.

- [EFFECT] in the Dual Mode

Depending upon the conditions one effect type will take priority over the other. Depth will be decided according to the depth default value of the voice combination. However, using function F3 (see page 29) you can change the depth value for each voice as you like.

Effect depth setting via the panel controls (i.e. pressing the [-/NO] or [+/YES] buttons while holding the [EFFECT] button — see page 19) will be applied to the 1st Voice only.

- [REVERB] in the Dual Mode

The reverb type assigned to the 1st Voice will take priority over the other. (If the reverb is set to OFF, the 2nd Voice's reverb type will be in affect.) Reverb depth setting via the panel controls (i.e. pressing the [-/NO] or [+/YES] buttons while holding the [REVERB] button — see page 18) will be applied to the 1st Voice only.

Other Dual Mode Functions

The Clavinova Function mode provides access to a number of other dual-mode functions, listed below. See the corresponding pages for details.

• Dual Balance 29
• Dual Detune 29
  1st Voice Octave Shift 29
• 2nd Voice Octave Shift 29
  1st Voice Effect Depth 30
  2nd Voice Effect Depth 30
• Reset 30

The Split Mode (CLP-880/860)

The split mode makes it possible to play two different voices on the keyboard — one with the left hand and another with the right hand. The Left Voice is played on all keys to the left of (and including) a specified "split point" key, while the Right Voice is played on all keys to the right of the split point key.

To activate the split mode simply press the [SPLIT] button so thats indicator lights. The split mode can be turned off at any time by pressing the [SPLIT] button again so that its indicator goes out.

NOTE The dual and split modes cannot be engaged at the same time.

Selecting the Right and Left Voices

The voice that was selected before the split mode was engaged becomes the Right Voice in the split mode. (The Right Voice can also be changed while in the split mode, by simply pressing the corresponding voice selector.)

To select a Left Voice press the corresponding voice selector while holding the [SPLIT] button (default: [BASS]). The indicator of the Left Voice selector will light while the [SPLIT] button is pressed, then only the Right Voice selector and [SPLIT] button indicators will remain lit.

• The variation can be individually turned on and off for the split mode voices. Normally the voice indicator of the Right Voice lights in the split mode. The [VARIATION] can be used to turn the variation for the Right Voice on or off as required. While the [SPLIT] button is held, however, the voice indicator of the Left Voice lights, and in this state the [VARIATION] button can be used to turn the variation for the Left Voice on or off as required.

• [EFFECT] in the Split Mode

Depending upon the conditions, one effect type will take priority over the other. Depth will be decided according to the depth default value of the voice combination. However, using function F4 (see page 30) you can change the depth value for each voice as you like.

Effect depth setting via the panel controls (i.e. pressing the [-/NO] or [+/YES] buttons while holding the [EFFECT] button — see page 19) will be applied to the Right Voice only.

• [REVERB] in the Split Mode

The reverb type assigned to the Right Voice will take priority over the other. (If the reverb is set to OFF, the Left Voice's reverb type will be in affect.)

Reverb depth setting via the panel controls (i.e. pressing the [-/NO] or [+/YES] buttons while holding the [REVERB] button — see page 18) will be applied to the Right Voice only.

Example:

A-1	b=1	C2	F-2
A-1	Bb-1	C2	F#2

• "b" is indicated with a lower " -".
• "#" is indicated with an upper "-".

Setting the Split Point

The split point is initially set at the F#2 key by default. You can change the split point to any other key by pressing the key while holding the [SPLIT] button (the name of the current split-point key appears on the LED display while the [SPLIT] button is held). The split point can also be set via the Function mode (see below).

Other Split Mode Functions

The Clavinova Function mode provides access to a number of other split-mode functions, listed below. See the corresponding pages for details.

• Split Point 30
• Split Balance 30
• Right Voice Octave Shift 31
• Left Voice Octave Shift 31
• Right Voice Effect Depth 31
• Left Voice Effect Depth 31
• Damper Range 31
• Reset 31

The [REVERB] button selects a number of digital reverb effects that you can use for extra depth and expressive power.

To select a reverb type press the [REVERB] button a few times until the indicator corresponding to the desired type lights (the indicators light in sequence each time the [REVERB] button is pressed). No reverb is produced when all indicators are off.

OFF

No reverb effect is selected when no REVERB indicator is lit.

ROOM

This setting add a continuous reverb effect to the sound that is similar to the type of acoustic reverberation you would hear in a room.

HALL 1

For a "bigger" reverber sound, use the HALL 1 setting. This effect simulates the natural reverberation of a small-size concert hall.

HALL 2

For a really spacious reverber sound, use the HALL 2 setting. This effect simulates the natural reverberation of a large concert hall.

STAGE

A simulation of the type of reverb produced in a stage environment.

• The default reverb type (including OFF) and depth settings are different for each voice.

Adjusting Reverb Depth

Adjust the reverb depth for the selected voice by using the [- / NO] and [+ / YES] buttons while holding the [REVERB] button. The depth range is from 0 through 20 (the current depth setting appears on the LED display while the [REVERB] button is held). A setting of "0" produces no effect, while a setting of "20" produces maximum reverb depth. Press the [- / NO] and [+ / YES] buttons simultaneously while holding the [REVERB] button to recall the default setting for the current voice (default depth settings are different for each voice).

The Effect (CLP-880/860/840)

The [EFFECT] button allows you to select one of the effects that can give your sound greater depth and animation.

To select an effect type press the [EFFECT] button a few times until the indicator corresponding to the desired type lights (the indicators light in sequence each time the [EFFECT] button is pressed). No effect is produced when all indicators are off.

OFF

No effect is selected when no EFFECT indicator is lit.

CHORUS

Shimmering, broadening effect

SYMPHONIC

Adds a deep, symphonic backdrop

TREMOLO

Tremolo effect

DELAY

Echo effect

NOTE

• The default effect type (including OFF) and depth settings are different for each voice.

Adjusting Effect Depth

Effect depth can be individually adjusted for the selected voice by using the [- / NO] and [+ / YES] buttons while holding the [EFFECT] button. The depth range is from 0 through 20 (the current depth setting appears on the LED display while the [EFFECT] button is held). A setting of "0" produces no effect, while a setting of "20" produces maximum effect depth. Press the [- / NO] and [+ / YES] buttons simultaneously while holding the [EFFECT] button to recall the default setting for the current voice (the default depth settings are different for each voice).

Brilliance (CLP-880/860/840)

This control can be used to change the tonality or "timbre" of the sound output. The control range is from MELLOW to BRIGHT.

For a brighter or "sharper" tone, slide the control towards the BRIGHT position. For a "rounder" more mellow tone, slide the control towards the MELLOW position.

NOTE

• When the BRILLIANCE is set to BRIGHT, the overall sound will be slightly louder. If the MASTER VOLUME is set at a high level the sound may become distorted. If so, lower the MASTER VOLUME level.

The CLP-820S has two and other models have three foot pedals that produce a range of expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.

CLP-880/860/840/820

CLP-820S

Damper (Right) Pedal

The damper pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the damper pedal is pressed notes played have a long sustain. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes.

On the CLP-880/860, when GRAND PIANO, CLASSICAL PIANO, or JAZZ PIANO is selected the damper pedal also produces a special "resonance" that simulates the ring of the strings and the sound board of an acoustic piano.

The CLP-880/860 damper pedal additionally features continuous damping. This allows you to create shorter effects by pressing the damper pedal down only part of the way.

NOTE

• On the CLP-880/860, soundboard depth and damper pedal mode (switch/ continuous) settings can be changed using the "Pedal Functions" (page 32) in the function mode.

Sostenuto (Center) Pedal (except for CLP-820S)

If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will be sustained as long as the pedal is held (as if the damper pedal had been pressed) but all subsequently played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played "staccato."

NOTE

• Organ and string voices will continue to sound for as long as the sostenuto pedal is depressed.

Soft (Left) Pedal

The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not affect notes which are already playing when it is pressed.

The left pedal can also be assigned to song start/stop operation (or sostenuto in the case of the CLP-820S) via the "Left Pedal Mode" described on page 32.

Four different types of keyboard touch sensitivity — HARD, MEDIUM, SOFT or FIXED — can be selected to match different playing styles and preferences.

To select a touch sensitivity type press the [TOUCH] button a few times until the indicator corresponding to the desired type lights (the indicators light in sequence each time the [TOUCH] button is pressed).

HARD

The HARD setting requires the keys to be played quite hard to produce maximum loudness.

MEDIUM

The MEDIUM setting produces a fairly "standard" keyboard response. This is the initial factory default setting.

SOFT

The SOFT setting allows maximum loudness to be produced with relatively light key pressure.

FIXED (no indicator lit)

All notes are produced at the same volume no matter how hard the keyboard is played.

When the FIXED type is selected, the volume of notes played in the FIXED mode can be set by using the [- / NO] and [+ / YES] buttons while the [TOUCH] button is held (the current volume level appears on the display). The volume range is from 1 through 127. The default setting is 64.

NOTE

• This setting does not change the weight of the keyboard.
• The touch sensitivity type and volume set in the FIXED mode will become the common setting for all voices.

Transposition

The Clavinova's TRANSPOSE function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of 12 semitones (i.e. a maximum of one octave up or down). "Transposing" the pitch of the Clavinova keyboard facilitates playing in difficult key signatures, and you can easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instrumentalist.

Use the [- / NO] or [+ / YES] button while holding the [TRANS-POSE] button to transpose down or up as required. The transposition range is from “-12” (down one octave) through “0” (normal pitch) to “12” (up one octave). The amount of transposition appears on the LED display while the [TRANSPOSE] button is held. The default transpose setting is “0”.

NOTE

• The [TRANSPOSE] button indicator remains lit when a transpose setting other than "0" is selected.
• Notes below and above the A-1 ... C7 range of the Clavinova sound one octave higher and lower, respectively.

Tuning makes it possible to adjust the pitch of the Clavinova over a 427.0Hz ... 453.0 Hz (corresponding to the A3 note's Hz) range in approximately 0.2 Hertz intervals. Pitch control is useful for tuning the Clavinova to match other instruments or recorded music.

Tuning Up

To tune up (raise pitch), hold the A-1 and B-1 keys simultaneously.
Press any key between C3 and B3. Each time a key in this range is pressed the pitch is increased by approximately 0.2Hz . The [- / NO] and [+ / YES] buttons can also be used to tune down or up, respectively, in approximately 1Hz increments. Press the [- / NO] and [+ / YES] buttons simultaneously to recall standard tuning (A3 = 440 Hz).
3 Release the A-1 and B-1 keys.

Tuning Down

To tune down (lower pitch), hold the A-1 and A#-1 keys simultaneously.
Press any key between C3 and B3. Each time a key in this range is pressed the pitch is decreased by approximately 0.2Hz . The [- / NO] and [+ / YES] buttons can also be used to tune down or up, respectively, in approximately 1Hz increments. Press the [- / NO] and [+ / YES] buttons simultaneously to recall standard tuning (A3 = 440 Hz).
3 Release the A-1 and A#-1 keys.

To Restore Standard Pitch

To restore the default pitch (A3 = 440 Hz), hold the A-1, A#-1 and B-1 keys simultaneously.
2 Press any key between C3 and B3.
3 Release the A-1, A#-1 and B-1 keys.

In terms of "Hertz", the overall tuning range is from 427.0Hz to 453.0Hz . The current tuning setting is shown on the LED display while the tuning is being adjusted. Tenth of a Hertz are indicated on the LED display by the appearance and position of one or two dots, as in the following example:

Display	Value
440	440.0
440	440.2
440	440.4
440	440.6
440	440.8

NOTE An alternative tuning method is available in the Function mode - page 28.

The Clavinova built-in metronome is a convenient feature for practice, and it can also provide a solid rhythmic guide when recording using the Recorder feature, described in the next section.

The Metronome

The metronome sound is alternately turned on and off by pressing the [METRONOME] button. When on, the beat indicator flashes at the current tempo.

Metronome Time Signature

The time signature (beat) of the metronome can be set by using the [- / NO] and [+ / YES] buttons while holding the [METRONOME] button. You can set the beat to 0, 2, 3, 4 or 6 (the current setting appears on the LED display while the [METRONOME] button is held). Press the [- / NO] and [+ / YES] buttons simultaneously while holding the [METRONOME] button to recall the default setting “0” (no accent).

Metronome Volume Function

The volume of the metronome sound can be adjusted via the Metronome Volume function in the Function mode—page 33.

Tempo Control

124

The tempo of the metronome and recorder playback (the recorder is described in the next section) can be set from 32 to 280 beats per minute by using the [TEMPO / ] buttons. The selected tempo will appear on the LED display while in the normal play mode and while the [TEMPO / ] buttons are being used to adjust the tempo in the recording/playback mode. The default tempo (120 or the recorded song tempo when the recorder contains data and the playback track indicator is lit) can be recalled by simultaneously pressing the [] and [] buttons.

Using the Recorder

The Clavinova features a two-track recorder that let you record what you play on the keyboard and then play it back. Two tracks mean that you can "overdub" one part on top of another, using a different voice if you like. The recorder feature is a useful adjunct to any keyboard study program, since it lets you hear exactly how you sound from the listener's perspective. It can also be just plain fun.

The recorder actually records the following data:

Entire Song

• Tempo - Time signature (beat) - Reverb type (including OFF)
  Effect type (CLP-880/860/840)

Individual Tracks

Notes played Voice selection
Dual mode voices Split mode voices (CLP-880/860)
- Damper pedal - Soft pedal
- Sostenuto pedal (not recorded as an initial setting)
Effect depth (CLP-880/860/840)
- Dual balance (F3) - Dual detune (F3)
- Split balance (F4: CLP-880/860) - Split octave shift (F4: CLP-880/860)

Recording

1 Make All Necessary Initial Settings

Before actually beginning to record, select the voice you want to record with (or voices if you will be using the dual or split mode). You might also want to set the volume and tempo controls.

2 Engage the Record Ready Mode

Press the REORDER [REC] button to engage the record ready mode (recording does not actually start yet). The record ready mode can be disengaged before recording by pressing the [REC] button a second time.

• The record ready mode cannot be engaged while the demo/piano song mode is engaged.

3 Select the Record Track

When the record mode is engaged in the previous step, the last-recorded track will automatically be selected for recording and its indicator — i.e. the [1] or [2] button indicator — will glow red. If you want to record on a different track, press the appropriate track button so that its indicator glows red.

• The track button indicators of tracks which contain previously recorded data will glow green (unless the track is turned off as described below). The previously-recorded data on the non-record track will normally be played back as you record, so you can play along with a previously-recorded track. If you don't want to hear the previously recorded track as you record (when you want to record a song different from what you recorded on the previous track etc.), press the playback track button before pressing the [REC] button (step 1, above) so that its indicator goes out.
• Recording on a track which already contains data will erase all previous data on that track.
• When the record mode is engaged the amount of memory available for recording will be shown on the LED display in approximate kilobytes (starting at "50" on the CLP-880/860 and "25" on the CLP-840/820/820S), and the rightmost dot on the LED display will flash at the current METRO-NOME tempo setting.

4 Start Recording

Recording will begin automatically as soon as you play a note on the keyboard or press the [START/STOP] button. The current measure number will appear on the display while recording.

• The left pedal can be assigned to start and stop recording via the "Left Pedal Mode" function described on page 32.
• If the metronome was on when you started recording, you'll be able to keep time with the metronome while recording, but the metronome sound will not be recorded.
• You can record up to a maximum of about 10,000 notes on the CLP-880/860 or 5,000 notes on the CLP-840/820/820S, depending on pedal usage and other factors. The record track indicator will begin to flash when recorder memory is almost full. If the memory becomes full during recording, "FULL" will appear on the display and recording will stop automatically. (All recorded data up to that point will be retained.)

5 Stop Recording

Press either the REORDER [REC] or [START/STOP] button to stop recording.

The indicator of the recorded track will glow green to indicate that it now contains data.

Changing the Initial Settings

The initial voice, tempo, reverb type, reverb depth, and effect settings made in step 1 of the recording procedure are actually recorded by the Clavinova.

These initial settings can be changed after the recording is finished by pressing the [REC] button to engage the record ready mode, pressing the appropriate track button, making the required changes, and then pressing the [REC] button again to exit from the record ready mode and register the changes.

If you do this, be careful not to press the [START/STOP] button or a key on the keyboard, either of which will start recording and erase all previous recorded data on the selected track.

It is possible to cancel the operation even after changes have been made: change tracks and then press the [REC] button to exit from the record mode (this also cancels data for the entire song).

• The following data for initial settings cannot be changed: "Dual balance (F3)", "Dual detune (F3)", "Dual octave shift (F3)", "Split balance (F4:CLP-880/860)" or "Split octave shift (F4:CLP-880/860)".

Erasing a Single Track

All data can be erased from either of the recorder's tracks by engaging the record mode, selecting the track you want to erase, and then pressing the [START/STOP] button twice without recording any data.

Playback

To play back what you've recorded, first make sure that the green track indicators of the tracks you want to play are lit. If not, press the corresponding track button(s) so that they are lit. Then press the RECORDER [START/STOP] button. Playback starts from the beginning of the recorded data, and will stop automatically at the end of the recorded data. You can also stop playback at any time by pressing the [START/STOP] button.

To mute a track so that it doesn't play back, press the corresponding track button so that its indicator goes out (press again to turn the track back on).

The current measure number appears on the display during playback.

NOTE

• It is possible to play along on the keyboard during playback. In this case, the playback voice and the voice you play on the keyboard are not the same. The playback voice is the voice that was set when the data was recorded. The voice you play on the keyboard is the voice that is selected on the panel.
• The playback volume and tempo can be adjusted by using the [MASTER VOL-UME] control and [TEMPO /] buttons (press both [TEMPO /] buttons simultaneously to recall the default tempo).
• All recorder data will be retained in memory for about one week after the power is turned off. If you want to keep your recorded data for longer periods, turn the power on for a few minutes at least once a week. It is also possible to store it to an external MIDI storage device such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3 by using the Bulk Data Dump function described on page 36.
• The track indicators will not light automatically when the power is turned on even if the recorder contains data. It is therefore necessary to press the track buttons so that the corresponding green indicators light before starting RECORDER playback. It is also a good idea to press the track buttons to check if the tracks contain data before recording. If the green indicator lights when the corresponding track button is pressed, that track contains data which will be erased and replaced by the newly-recorded data.
• If the metronome is being used during playback, the metronome will automatically stop when playback is stopped.
• During recorder playback, the volume of a track which is turned off will always be "0" (i.e. the "Piano Song Part Cancel Volume" function — page 33 — only affects piano song playback.
• The playback data is not transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector.
• Playback cannot be started when the demo/piano song mode is engaged.
• Playback cannot be started when the recorder contains no data, or when both track buttons are off.
• When using REVERB or EFFECT during playback, depending upon the conditions one reverb type and one effect type will take priority.

Synchro Start

When the Synchro Start function is engaged, recorder playback will begin automatically as soon as you start playing on the keyboard.

To engage the Synchro Start function press the [START/STOP] button while holding a track button which is ON. The rightmost dot on the display will flash at the current tempo. (Repeat the previous operation to disengage the Syncro Start function.) Playback will then start as soon as you begin playing on the keyboard.

If you hold a track button which is OFF while pressing the [START/STOP] button, that track will be turned ON and the Synchro Start mode will be engaged.

Left Pedal Start/Stop

The left pedal can be assigned to start and stop recorder playback via the "Left Pedal Mode" function described on page 32. This is convenient for starting playback of the recorded part anytime after you have started playing.

F1 Tuning

In addition to the tuning method described on page 22, overall tuning can also be accomplished via the F1 function.

After selecting "F1", use the [-/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to lower or raise the pitch in approximately 0.2Hz increments (the first time the [-/NO] or [+/YES] button is pressed simply switches to the tuning value display without actually changing the tuning). The overall tuning range is from 427.0Hz to 453.0Hz (corresponding to the A3 note's Hz ). Press the [-/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default value "440 Hz".

Tents of a Hertz are indicated on the LED display by the appearance and position of one or two dots, as in the following example:

Display	Value
440	440.0
440	440.2
440	440.4
440	440.6
440	440.8

CLP-840/820/820S MIDI Functions

CLP-880/860 MIDI Functions

A Brief Introduction to MIDI

MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a world-standard communication interface that allows MIDI-compatible musical instruments and equipment to share musical information and control one another. This makes it possible to create "systems" of MIDI instruments and equipment that offer far greater versatility and control than is available with isolated instruments. For example, most MIDI keyboards (including the Clavinova, of course) transmit

note and velocity (touch response) information via the MIDI OUT connector whenever a note is played on the keyboard. If the MIDI OUT connector is connected to the MIDI IN connector of a second keyboard (synthesizer, etc.) or a tone generator (essentially a synthesizer with no keyboard), the second keyboard or tone generator will respond precisely to notes played on the original transmitting keyboard. The result is that you can effectively play two instruments at once, providing thick multi-instrument sounds.

This same type of musical information transfer is used for MIDI sequence recording. A sequence recorder can be used to "record" MIDI data received from a Clavinova, for example. When the recorded data is played back, the Clavinova automatically "plays" the recorded performance in precise detail.

The examples given above really only scratch the surface. MIDI can do much, much more. The Clavinova MIDI functions allow it to be used in fairly sophisticated MIDI systems.

After selecting “F7.4” or “F8.4”, press the [+ / YES] button to engage the MIDI function submode, then use the FUNCTION [] and [] buttons to select the desired MIDI function, as listed below.

• The rear-panel HOST SELECT switch must be set to "MIDI" in order to use the MIDI connectors. When you use the TO HOST connector, set the HOST SELECT switch to the appropriate position for the type of computer you are using (see page 38). In this situation, all MIDI settings described below will have affect on the MIDI signal in and out of the TO HOST connector.
• Always use a high-quality MIDI cable to connect MIDI OUT to MIDI IN terminals. Never use MIDI cables longer than about 15 meters, since cables longer than this can pick up noise which can cause data errors.

F7.1/F8.1: MIDI Transmit Channel Selection

F7.2/F8.2: MIDI Receive Channel Selection

The MIDI system allows transmission and reception of MIDI data on 16 different channels. Multiple channels have been implemented to allow selective control of certain instruments or devices connected in series. For example, a single

MIDI sequence recorder could be used to "play" two different instruments or tone generators. One of the instruments or tone generators could be set to receive only on channel 1, while the other is set to receive on channel 2. In this situation the first instrument or tone generator will respond only to channel-1 information transmitted by the sequence recorder, while the second instrument or tone generator will respond only to channel-2 information. This allows the sequence recorder to "play" two completely different parts on the receiving instruments or tone generators.

In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched for proper data transfer. A "Multi-timbre" receive mode is also available, which allows simultaneous reception of different parts on all 16 MIDI channels, allowing the Clavinova to play multi-channel song data received from a music computer or sequencer. There's also a "1-2" mode which allows simultaneous reception on channels 1 and 2.

Use the [- / NO] and [+ / YES] buttons to select the desired transmit or receive channel. The transmit channel parameter can also be turned "OFF" if you don't want the Clavinova to transmit any MIDI data. To select the multi-timbre receive mode, set the receive channel to "ALL". Select "1-2" for multi-timbre reception on channels 1 and 2 only.

Press the [- / NO] and [+ / YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting: transmit = "1"; receive = "ALL".

• In the dual mode first voice data is transmitted on its set channel, and in the split mode right voice data is transmitted on its set channel. In the dual mode second voice data is transmitted on the next greater channel number of the set channel, and in the split mode left voice data is transmitted on the next greater channel number of the set channel. In either mode, no data is transmitted if the transmit channel is set to "OFF".
• Demo/piano song data and recorder playback data are not transmitted via MIDI.
• No MIDI reception occurs when the demo/piano song mode is engaged.
• Program change and other like channel messages received will not affect the Clavinova's panel settings or what is being played on the keyboard.

F7.3/F8.3: Local Control ON/OFF

Clavinova

"Local Control" refers to the fact that, normally, the Clavinova keyboard controls its internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard. This situation is "Local Control On" since the internal tone generator is controlled locally by its own keyboard.

Local control can be turned OFF, however, so that the Clavinova keyboard does not play the internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector when notes are played on the keyboard. At the same time, the internal tone generator responds to MIDI information received via the MIDI IN connector.

When using the DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit with the Clavinova, for example, Local Control should be turned OFF when recording using the DOU-10 voices only, and ON when recording the Clavinova voices while listening to playback of the DOU-10 voices.

Use the [- / NO] and [+ / YES] buttons to turn local control "On" or "OFF".

Press the [- / NO] and [+ / YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting "On".

F7.4/F8.4: Program Change ON/OFF

Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI program change numbers received from an external keyboard or other MIDI device, causing the correspondingly numbered voice to be selected on the corresponding channel (the keyboard voice does not change). The Clavinova will normally also send a MIDI program change number whenever one of its voices is selected, causing the correspondingly numbered voice or program to be selected on the external MIDI device if the device is set up to receive and respond to MIDI program change numbers.

This function makes it possible to cancel program change number reception and transmission so that voices can be selected on the Clavinova without affecting the external MIDI device.

Use the [- / NO] and [+ / YES] buttons to turn program change transmission and reception "On" or "OFF".

Press the [- / NO] and [+ / YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting "On".

• For information on program change numbers for each of the Clavinova's voices, refer to page 44 in the MIDI Data Format section.

F7.5/F8.5: Control Change ON/OFF

Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI control change data received from an external MIDI device or keyboard, causing the voice on the corresponding channel to be affected by pedal and other "control" settings received from the controlling device (the keyboard voice is not affected). The Clavinova also transmits MIDI control change information when one of its pedals or other appropriate controls are operated.

This function makes it possible to cancel control change data reception and transmission so that, for example, the Clavinova pedals and other controls can be operated without affecting an external MIDI device.

Use the [- / NO] and [+ / YES] buttons to turn control change transmission and reception "On" or "OFF".

Press the [- / NO] and [+ / YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting "On".

NOTE

• For information on control changes that can be used with the Clavinova, refer to the MIDI Data Format on page 43.

F7.6/F8.6: MIDI Transmit Transpose

This function allows the MIDI note data transmitted by the Clavinova to be transposed up or down in semitone increments by up to plus or minus 12 semitones. The pitch of the Clavinova itself is not affected.

Use the [- / NO] and [+ / YES] buttons to set the desired amount of MIDI transmit transposition. The range is from “-12” (down one octave) through “0” (no transposition) to “12” (up one octave).

Press the [- / NO] and [+ / YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting "0".

F7.7/F8.7: Panel/Status Transmit

This function causes all the current Clavinova panel settings (selected voice, etc.) to be transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal. This is particularly useful if you will be recording performances to a MIDI sequence recorder such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3 which will be used to control the Clavinova on playback. By transmitting the Clavinova panel settings and recording them on the MIDI sequence recorder prior to the actual performance data, the Clavinova will be automatically restored to the same settings when the performance is played back.

Press the [+ / YES] button to transmit the panel/status data. "E n d" will appear on the LED display when the data has been successfully transmitted.

NOTE

• See page 44 for list of the "Panel Data Contents" transmitted by this function.
• Panel setting data that is transmitted to an external device can only be reloaded on a model of the same type. Panel setting data can also be directly transferred to or from instruments of the same model type.

F7.8/F8.8: Bulk Data Dump

This function is used to transmit all data stored in the Recorder memory to a MIDI data storage device such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3, other sequence recorders, or MIDI compatible computers.

Press the [+ / YES] button to begin bulk transmission. "E n d" will appear on the LED display when the data has been successfully transmitted.

NOTE

• Bulk data dump will not function when the recorder is in operation.
• Recorder data that is transmitted to an external device can only be reloaded on a model of the same type. Recorder data can also be directly transferred to or from instruments of the same model type.
• The reload operation cannot be executed when the Recorder is in operation or the Function mode is engaged.
• No MIDI note/panel data transmission or data reception occurs during a bulk data dump transmit operation.

Connecting to a Personal Computer

Although the Clavinova can be connected to a personal computer via the MIDI IN/OUT connectors and a MIDI interface, the TO HOST connector and HOST SELECT switch allow direct connection to Apple Macintosh or IBM-PC/AT personal computers for sequencing and other music applications without the need for a separate MIDI interface.

Connecting to an Apple Macintosh Series Computer

Connect the TO HOST connector of the Clavinova to the modem or printer port on your Macintosh, depending on which port your MIDI software is using for MIDI data communication, using a standard Macintosh 8-pin system peripheral cable. Set the HOST SELECT switch to the "Mac" position.

You may also have to make other MIDI interface settings on the computer side, depending on the type of software you use (refer to your software owner's manual). In any case the clock speed should be set to 1 MHz.

- "Mac" Cable Connections

• 8-pin system peripheral cable.
  Data transfer rate: 31,250 bps.

NOTE

• When using the [TO HOST] terminal of the Clavinova, first turn the power off on both the Clavinova and the computer before connecting the cable. After connecting the cable, turn the power of the computer on first, then the Clavinova.
• When not using the [TO HOST] terminal of the Clavinova, make sure the cable is disconnected from the [TO HOST] terminal. If the cable is left connected, the Clavinova may not function properly.
• "H5" will appear in the display if the host computer is not turned on, the connecting cable is not properly connected, the HOST SELECT switch is not in the proper position, or the MIDI driver or MIDI application is not active. In this case, turn the power off on both the Clavinova and the computer, and check the cable connection and the position of the HOST SELECT switch. Once the connection and HOST SELECT switch position is verified, turn the power of the computer on first, then the Clavinova, to check if the MIDI driver and MIDI application function properly.
• When the HOST SELECT switch is set to "Mac", "PC-1", or "PC-2, no data transfer occurs via the MIDI connectors. To use the MIDI connectors for connection via a standard MIDI interface, set the HOST SELECT switch to "MIDI".

Connecting to an IBM-PC/AT Series Computer

Connect the TO HOST connector of the Clavinova to the RS-232C port on your IBM computer, using a standard 8-pin MINI DIN 9-pin D-SUB cross cable. Set the HOST SELECT switch to the "PC-2" position.

Refer to your software owner's manual for information on any settings you might have to make on the computer side.

- "PC-2" Cable Connections

• 8-pin mini DIN 9-pin D-SUB cable.
  Data transfer rate: 38,400 bps.

NOTE

• If your system doesn't work properly with the connections and settings listed above, your software may require different settings. Check your software operation manual and if it requires a 31,250 bps. data transfer rate, set the HOST SELECT switch to "PC-1".
• When using the TO HOST terminal to connect to a personal computer using Windows, a Yamaha MIDI driver must be installed in the personal computer. The Yamaha MIDI driver can be obtained at Yamaha's home page on the World Wide Web, http://www.yamaha.co.jp/english/xg/.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter what appears to be a malfunction, please check the following points before assuming that your Clavinova is faulty.

1. No Sound When the Power is Turned ON

Is the AC plug properly connected to the Clavinova and an AC wall outlet? Check the AC connection carefully. Is the MASTER VOLUME control turned up to a reasonable listening level?

Also make sure that a pair of headphones is not plugged into the PHONES jack, and that the Local Control (page 35) is ON.

2. The Damper Pedal Doesn't Work

If the damper pedal doesn't work, or notes are sustained even when the pedal is not pressed, make sure that the pedal cord is properly plugged into the main unit (page 66: CLP-820S, page 60: CLP-860/840/820, page 52: CLP-880).

3. The Clavinova Reproduces Radio or TV Sound

This can occur if there is a high-power transmitter in your vicinity. Contact your Yamaha dealer.

4. Intermittent Static Noise

This is usually due to turning ON or OFF a household appliance or other electronic equipment which is fed by the same AC mains line as your Clavinova.

5. Interference Appears On Radio or TV Sets Located Near the Clavinova

The Clavinova contains digital circuitry which can generate radio-frequency noise. The solution is to move the Clavinova further away from the affected equipment, or vice versa.

6. Distorted Sound When the Clavinova is Connected to An External Amplifier/Speaker System

If the Clavinova is connected to a stereo system or instrument amplifier and the sound is distorted, reduce the volume of the external equipment to a level at which the distortion ceases.

• If “ S_subset ” appears on the display an internal malfunction has occurred. In this case, contact your Yamaha dealer.

If you're already very familiar with MIDI, or are using a computer to control your music hardware with computer-generated MIDI messages, the data provided in this section can help you to control the Clavinova.

Data format: [9nH] -> [kk] -> [vv]

9nH = Note ON/OFF event (n = channel number)

kk = Note number (Transmit: 09H ~ 78H = A-2 ~ C8 / Receive: 00H ~ 7FH = C-2 ~ G8)*

vw = Velocity (Key ON = 01H 7FH Key OFF = 00H

Data format: [8nH] -> [kk] -> [vV] (reception only)

8nH = Note OFF event (n = channel number)

kk = Note number: 00H ~ 7FH = C-2 ~ G8

• If received value exceeds the supported range for the selected voice, the note is adjusted by the necessary number of octaves.

2. CONTROL CHANGE

• When control change reception is turned OFF in the Function mode, control change data will not be transmitted or received except for Bank Select and Mode messages.
• Local on/off, OMNI on/off are not transmitted. (The appropriate note off number is supplied with "All Note Off" transmission).
• When a voice bank MSB/LSB is received, the number is stored in the internal buffer regardless of the received order, then the stored value is used to select the appropriate voice when a program change message is received.
• The Multi-timbre and Poly modes are always active. No change occurs when OMNI ON, OMNI OFF, MONO, or POLY mode messages are received.

4.PROGRAM CHANGE
