Taking Care of Your Clavinova

Your Clavinova will give you years of playing pleasure if you observe the simple rules given below:

1. Avoid Humidity & Heat

Avoid placing the Clavinova in areas that are subject to excessive humidity or heat. Do not leave the instrument near heaters or in a car exposed to direct sunlight, for example.

2. Avoid Dust & Moisture

Avoid locations in which the instrument is likely to be exposed to excessive dust or moisture.

3. Power-off Before Connecting

Connections between the Clavinova and any other device must be made with both pieces of equipment turned off.

4. Handle With Care

Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors or other parts of your Clavinova, and avoid scratching or bumping it with hard objects. Further, always turn the POWER switch off after use, and close the key cover to protect the keyboard (CVP-79A/69/69A), or cover the instrument with the dust cover provided (CVP-59S).

5. Clean Carefully

Clean the cabinet and keys of your Clavinova only with a clean, slightly damp cloth. A neutral cleanser may be used if desired. Never use abrasive cleansers, waxes, solvents or chemical dust cloths since these can dull or damage the finish.

6. Never Tamper With the Internal Circuitry

Never open the Clavinova cabinet and touch or tamper with the internal circuitry. Tampering with the circuitry can result in electrical shock!

7. Electric Interference

Since the Clavinova contains digital circuitry, it may cause interference if placed too close to radio or television receivers. If this occurs, move the instrument further away from the affected equipment.

8. 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.

9. Name Plate Location

The Clavinova name plate, including the unit's serial number, is located on the bottom panel of the main unit.

10. Handling Floppy Disks

Yamaha Disk Orchestra Collection disks are write-protected and therefore cannot be used to save songs. To save your recorded songs a blank floppy disk should be used (one blank disk is supplied with the Clavinova).

Taking Care of Your Floppy Disks

■ Do NOT eject the disk during recording or playback, or at any time when the disk drive lamp is lit. Doing so may damage both the disk and the FDD.
■ Do NOT turn the Clavinova on or off while the disk is in the drive.
■ Always eject the disk before turning the Clavinova off.
■ When ejecting a floppy disk from the disk drive:

Disk drive lamp

• To eject a floppy disk, press the eject button slowly as far as it will go. Then when the disk is fully ejected, remove it by hand.
• The disk may not be ejected properly if the eject button is pressed too quickly or if it is not pressed in far enough. (The eject button may become stuck halfway with the disk extending from the slot by only a few millimeters). If this is the case, do not attempt to pull out the partially ejected disk. Doing so may damage the disk drive mechanism and/or the floppy disk. To remove a partially ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again or push the disk back into the slot, then repeat the eject procedure carefully.

■ Never open or close the key cover while a disk is extending from the drive (i.e. in the ejected position). The key cover may contact the disk, possibly damaging the disk or even the disk drive.
■ Do not insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy disk.
■ Use the 3.5-inch 2DD or 2HD floppy disks with the Clavinova.

Precautions Regarding Floppy Disk Use

• Never open the disk's shutter. Dirt or dust on the Internal magnetic surface will cause data errors.
  ■ Never leave disks near a speaker, TV, or other device that emits a strong magnetic field.
  ■ Do not store disks in places exposed to direct sunlight or sources of high temperature.
  ■ Do not place heavy objects such as books on top of a disk.
  ■ Avoid getting the disks wet.
  ■ Be sure to store the disks in environmental conditions as specified below:
• Storage temperature: 4^ to 53^ (39° to 127°F).
  • Storage humidity: 8 to 90% relative humidity.
• Store in an area free from dust, sand, smoke, etc.
  ■ Be sure to apply the disk label at the proper position. When changing the label never cover the old label with a new label; always remove the old label first.

Head Cleaning

The head of the disk drive unit will get dirty as you use it eventually causing data errors. If this occurs, clean the head with a 3.5 inch head cleaning disk (available from most computer supply stores).

Data Backup

It is recommended that you copy your recorded songs to another disk for backup (see page 102). If the original disk is damaged or your song is deleted, the backup disk can be used instead of the original.

Protecting Your Data (Write Protect Tab)

Write protect tab open (locked — write protected)

Write protect tab closed (unlocked — write enabled)

The Music Stand

Diagram showing a mechanical component with rotational arrows and a magnified inset of its motion (no text or symbols)

If you will be using sheet music with your Clavinova, raise the music stand built into it's top panel by lifting the rear edge of the music stand. Flip down the braces on either side of the rear of the music stand so that they catch inside the protrusions on the top panel. Reverse this operation o lower the stand.

The Key Cover (CVP-79A/69/69A)

Line drawing of a device with an arrow indicating direction, labeled CVP-79A (no text or symbols on the diagram itself)

To open the CVP-79A/69/69A key cover lift it just enough to clear the keys (do not lift excessively) then slide the cover back into the main unit. To close the cover slide it forward all the way and then lower it gently until it closes completely.

The Power Switch

78 VOICE Grand Piano1 STYLE Pop Ballad 1 STYLE VOICE

After making sure that the Clavinova's AC cord is properly plugged into the Clavinova itself and plugged into a convenient AC wall outlet (a power-plug adaptor may be provided in some areas), press the [POWER] switch located to the left of the keyboard once to turn the power on. Press the [POWER] switch again to turn the power off.

When the power is initially turned on, the PIANO voice selector indicator will light, the POP style selector indicator will light, and the display will appear as shown to the left.

Headphones

The Volume Controls

The Clavinova has two volume controls on the control panel in addition to several programmable volume levels that give you extra versatility in creating the required sound.

graph LR
    A["MASTER VOLUME"] -->|MAX MIN| B["ABC/SONG VOLUME"]
    B --> C["Device Interface"]

Master Volume

The MASTER VOLUME control adjusts the overall volume of sound produced by the Clavinova. It also adjusts headphone volume when one or two pairs of headphones are plugged into the PHONES jacks.

Initially set the MASTER VOLUME control about half way between the “MIN” and “MAX” settings. Then, when you start playing, adjust the control for the most comfortable listening level.

VOLUME MASTER VOLUME MAX MIN ABC/SONG VOLUME MAX MIN

- The output signal levels from the AUX OUT jacks are also adjusted by the MASTER VOLUME control.

ABC/Song Volume

This control adjusts the volume of the Clavinova's auto-accompaniment and song playback sound. The volume of notes played on the keyboard is not affected.

VOLUME MASTER VOLUME ABC/SONG VOLUME MAX MIN MAX MIN

Other Volume Controls

The [MIXER] button provides access to individual volume parameters for the rhythm, bass, chord, pad, and phrase parts of the auto accompaniment sound, a keyboard volume parameter, and a volume parameter for the Clavinova's harmony function — see page 41 for details. When the Clavinova's Disk Orchestra Collection playback function is in use the [MIXER] button accesses individual volume parameters for each Disk Orchestra Collection part.

NOTES

• When a Drum Kit voice is selected only the keys with drum or percussion symbols printed above them will sound.
• The TRANSPOSE, TUNE, and OCTAVE SHIFT functions described on pages 91 and 92 do not affect the Drum Kit voices.

The Keyboard & Polyphony

The CVP-69/69A/59S can play up to 32 notes at once while the CVP-79A can play up to 64. This number includes all notes being played at the same time in any single or combination use of dual, split, accompaniment, and disk functions. Further variation occurs with “1-element” and “2-element” voices: the polyphony is halved with 2-element voices. The same applies to stereo voices. The voice list on page 116 shows all stereo, 2-element, and 1-element voices in the CVP-79A/69/69A/59S.

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 and the setting of the TOUCH SENSITIVITY parameter (page 91).

The DUAL mode makes it possible to play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard. This makes it easy to create exceptionally rich, thick tonal textures.

The CVP-79A/69/69A has three pedals and the CVP-59S has two pedals which offer a range of advanced expressive capabilities.

Right Pedal (Damper 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.

NOTES

- The CVP-79A damper pedal can be set for continuous (default) or on/off type damping control via the "DAMPER MODE" function (page 94).

Center Pedal (Sostenuto Pedal — CVP-79A/69/69A only)

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.”

CVP-79A Sostenuto Pedal

CVP-69/69A Sostenuto Pedal

Left Pedal (Multi-function)

Tempo Control

Whenever you select a different style, the preset tempo for that style is also selected, and the tempo is displayed on the display in number of beats per minute (unless the accompaniment is playing, in which case the same tempo is maintained).

Tempo 132 VOICE Grand Piano1 STYLE Dance Pop1 STYLE VOICE

You can change the tempo to any value between 32 and 280 beats per minute, however, by using the TEMPO [+] and [-] buttons. This can be done either before the accompaniment is started or while it is playing. Press either button briefly to decrement or increment the tempo value by one, or hold the button for continuous decrementing or incrementing.

- The preset tempo for the selected style can be recalled at any time by pressing both the TEMPO [+] and [-] buttons simultaneously.

Starting the Accompaniment

There are several ways to start the accompaniment:

■ Straight Start

Press the [START/STOP] button.

Each of the styles also has two main variations that can be selected by pressing the [MAIN A] button or [MAIN B] button before pressing the [START/STOP] button. Normally the [MAIN A] button LED will be lit (or you can select it if the other variation is selected), indicating that the MAIN A pattern is selected. You can also switch between the [MAIN A] and [MAIN B] variations during playback — the new variation begins from the top of the next measure if the button is pressed on or after the 2nd beat of a measure.

The [START/STOP] button indicator will be lit during accompaniment playback and off when the accompaniment is stopped.

■ Synchronized Start

Any of the start types described above can be synchronized to the first note or chord played on the keyboard by first pressing the [SYNCHRO] button so that its indicator lights. When the keyboard is split or Auto Bass Chord Single Finger or Fingered mode is used, the first note played on the left-hand section of the keyboard will start the accompaniment (i.e. keys to the left of and including the split-point key — normally F#2). Use the [MAIN A], [MAIN B] and/or [INTRO A/FILL TO A] or [INTRO B/FILL TO B] buttons to select the type of start you want.

START/STOP TAP SYNCHRO START/STOP

The first (red) dot of the BEAT display will flash at the current tempo when a synchronized start mode has been selected. The synchronized start mode can be canceled by pressing the [SYNCHRO] button a second time so that its indicator goes out. The synchronized start mode is automatically canceled once playback has started.

Tap start

This function lets you set the tempo and start the rhythm in one operation. Simply tap the [TAP] button at the required tempo — 3 times for a 3/4 style, 4 times for 2/4, 4/4, and 6-beat styles, and 5 times for 5-beat styles. The rhythm will start from the beginning of the next measure at the specified tempo.

START/STOP TAP SYNCHRO START/STOP

■ The Beat Display

The four LED dots of the BEAT display provide a visual indication of the selected tempo during accompaniment playback. The leftmost (red) dot flashes on the first beat of each measure, the second dot flashes on the second beat, and so on (all dots except the leftmost dot are green). The current measure number appears on the LCD during playback.

- If the [SYNCHRO] button is pressed during playback, playback is stopped and the synchronized start mode is automatically engaged.

- The [TAP] button can also be used to change the tempo during rhythm playback (tap twice). In this case the "tap" click will not sound.

- If you tap the [TAP] button less than the required number of times (i.e. 3, 4, or 5), the tap tempo function will be canceled after a few seconds.

Fill-ins

The CVP-79A/69/69A/59S provides four types of automatic “fill-ins.”

● Fill To A: Press the [INTRO A/FILL TO A] button during play-back to produce a fill-in and go to the MAIN A rhythm pattern. Different fill-in patterns are produced when going from A to A or B to A.
● Fill To B: Press the [INTRO B/FILL TO B] button during play-back to produce a fill-in and go to the MAIN B pattern. Different fill-in patterns are produced when going from A to B or B to B.

NOTES

• During playback the indicator of the currently-playing variation will be lit while that of the next variation to play flashes. (The only exception is: during playback of the ending, the flashing [MAIN A] or [MAIN B] button indicator indicates which ending variation is currently playing.)
• If the left pedal is switched to START/STOP operation (pages 27 and 93), it performs the same function as the panel [START/STOP] buttons (press to START, press again to STOP). The left pedal can also be assigned for INTRO A/FILL TO A, INTRO B/FILL TO B, and ENDING operation — pages 30 and 32.

Metronome

The CVP-79A/69/69A/59S also offers a metronome function that is ideal for practice.

To start the metronome, simply press the [METRONOME] button so that its indicator lights. The metronome will play at the currently selected tempo whether a style is playing or not. The metronome volume can be adjusted via the [ABC/SONG VOLUME] control.

The pop-up screen that appears when the [METRONOME] button is pressed also provides access to a range of other metronome settings. When “NORMAL” is selected the metronome click sounds continuously at the current tempo with no accented beats. The “4/4”, “3/4”, “2/4”, and “5/4” settings produce a bell accent on the first beat of each measure.

METRONOME BEAT 78 NORMAL 4/4 3/4 2/4 5/4

Press the [METRONOME] button again to stop the metronome sound (the METRONOME indicator will go out). The metronome will also stop automatically if the [START/STOP] button is pressed to stop a style in progress.

NOTES

• If a style is started by pressing the [START/STOP] button while the metronome is playing, the metronome will continue to sound along with the style.
• The metronome bell accent will not sound during accompaniment playback.

Auto Bass Chord (ABC)

The CVP-79A/69/69A/59S includes a sophisticated auto-accompa-niment system (Auto Bass Chord — ABC) that can provide auto-mated rhythm, bass and chord backing in a number of ways.

Single-Finger, Fingered Chord, and Full Keyboard Accompaniment

“Single Finger” accompaniment makes it simple to produce accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minor-seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys in the ABC section of the keyboard. The automatic accompaniment consists of rhythm, bass and chords.

“Fingered Chord” accompaniment is ideal if you already know how to play chords on a keyboard, since it allows you to supply your own chords for the auto accompaniment feature.

When the “Full Keyboard” mode is selected the Clavinova will automatically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard.

1 Select a Style

Select an accompaniment style using the style selectors and STYLE pop-up screen (see “Style Selection” on page 28).

STYLE SELECT 132 Dance Pop Dance Pop1 Dance Pop2 Euro-beat Techno Synth Boosie

2 Set the Tempo

Use the TEMPO [+] and [-] buttons to set the desired accompaniment tempo if necessary (see “Tempo Control” on page 29 for more details).

3 Turn ABC On

Press the [ABC ON] button so that its indicator lights and the ABC MODE pop-up screen appears. — The ABC mode is alternately turned on and off each time the [ABC ON] button is pressed.

5 Start & Play

Start playback by pressing the [START/STOP] button or by using the [SYNCHRO] start mode.

● Single-finger Accompaniment

Pressing any key on the ABC section of the keyboard (up to the split point — normally the F#2 key) will cause the automatic chord and bass accompaniment to begin. If you press a “C” key, for example, a C-major accompaniment will be played. Press another key in the ABC section of the keyboard to select a new chord. The key you press will always determine the “root” of the chord played (i.e. “C” for a C chord). The name of the detected chord will appear on the display.

Detected chord name 78 6 VOICE Grand Piano1 STYLE Pop Ballad 1 STYLE VOICE

Single-finger minor, seventh, and minor-seventh chords can be played as follows:

- For a minor chord, press the root key and a black key to its left.

- For a seventh chord, press the root key and a white key to its left.

- For a minor-seventh chord, press the root key and both a white and black key to its left.

● Fingered Accompaniment

As soon as you play any chord on the lower keyboard (up to the split point — normally the F#2 key), the Clavinova will automatically begin to play the chord along with the rhythm and an appropriate bass line. The name of the detected chord will appear on the display. “*” will appear if the chord is not recognizable by the CVP-79A/69/69A/59S.

The Clavinova will accept the following chord types in the Fingered Accompaniment mode:

NOTES

- The automatic accompaniment will sometimes not change when related chords are played in sequence (e.g. some minor chords followed by the minor seventh).

• Major
• Sixth [6]
  • Major seventh [M7]
  • Major seventh flatted fifth [M7(b5)]
  • Major seventh sharp eleventh [M7(#11)]
• Added ninth [add9]

• Seventh flatted ninth [7(b9)]
• Seventh added flatted thirteenth [7(b13)]
• Seventh sharp ninth [7(#9)]
• Suspended fourth [sus4]

"On-bass" chords are also recognized. Two-note fingerings will produce a chord based on the previous chord.

“No chord” (i.e. rhythm only accompaniment) can be produced by pressing any three consecutive keys (ex. C,C#,D) simultaneously.

“- - -” will appear instead of a chord name.

● Full-keyboard ABC

When this advanced auto-accompaniment mode is engaged the Clavinova will automatically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard: chords, a bass line, arpeggiated chords, a melody line. The name of the detected chord will appear on the display. You don't have to worry about specifying the accompaniment chords. Although Full-keyboard ABC is designed to work with many songs, some arrangements may not be suitable for use with this feature. Try playing a few simple songs in the Full-keyboard ABC mode to get a feel for its capabilities.

6 Stop the Accompaniment

Press the [START/STOP] or [ENDING] button to stop the accompaniment.

Press the [ABC ON] button so that its indicator goes out when you want to exit from the ABC mode.

NOTES

• Chord detection occurs at approximately 8th-note intervals. Extremely short chords — less than an 8th note in length — may therefore not be detected.
• The DUAL or SPLIT mode can be used with ABC.

NOTES

- The [INTRO A/FILL TO A], [INTRO B/FILL TO B], [MAIN A], [MAIN B], and [ENDING] buttons can be used in the ABC mode to create pattern variations (refer to the “Accompaniment” section on pages 30 and 32 for details).

Overall Accompaniment Volume Control

Use the ABC/SONG VOLUME control to adjust the volume of the accompaniment sound in relation to the keyboard sound. No accompaniment sound will be produced if the MASTER VOLUME control is set to its “MIN” position.

VOLUME MASTER VOLUME MAX MIN ABC/SONG VOLUME MAX MIN

Individual Part Volume Control

The CVP-79A/69/69A/59S has five accompaniment parts — RHYTHM, BASS, CHORD, PAD, and PHRASE. — that function as follows:

RHYTHM	This is the main rhythm part. The RHYTHM part usually plays one of the drum kits.
BASS	The BASS part always plays a bass line, but the voice will change to fit the selected style ... acoustic bass, synth bass, tuba, etc.
CHORD	This part provides the rhythmic chordal accompaniment required by each style. You'll find guitar, piano, and other chordal instruments here.
PAD	This part plays long chords where necessary, using sustained instruments such as strings, organ, choir.
PHRASE	This is where the musical embellishments reside. The PHRASE part is used for punchy brass stabs, arpeggiated chords, and other extras that make the accompaniment more interesting.

The volume of the RHYTHM, BASS, CHORD, PAD, and PHRASE accompaniment parts can be individually adjusted via the volume parameters accessed by the [MIXER] button. Select the part you want to control by first pressing the appropriate LCD button, then use the data dial or [+]/[-] buttons to set the volume as required. The normal volume level for any part (“90”) can be instantly recalled by simultaneously pressing the [+] and [-] buttons while the desired part is selected. Several parts can be selected at once by pressing their buttons at the same time. The volume of all selected parts can then be adjusted simultaneously. The mixer parameters will disappear when the [MIXER] button is pressed a second time (or the [EXIT] button is pressed).

2 Adjust The Settings If Necessary

Any of the parameters set by the ONE TOUCH SETTING feature can be adjusted to create the desired sound after a ONE TOUCH SETTING setup has been selected.

• To return to the settings that were active prior to engaging the One Touch Setting feature, re-select the style after selecting a different style (ABC will remain on however).
• The One Touch Setting feature cannot be used when a [DISK/CUSTOM] style is selected.
• ABC is automatically turned ON when the One Touch Setting feature is engaged.
• The synchronized start mode is automatically turned ON if the One Touch Setting feature is engaged before starting the accompaniment.
• If the STYLE SETTING parameter in the BACKUP function (page 107) is set to on, the One Touch Setting setup selection for each style will be retained in memory even when the power is turned off. This way the desired setup can be recalled immediately when the [ONE TOUCH SETTING] button is pressed. (CVP-79A/69/69A)
• Harmony will not be turned on if the ABC Full Keyboard mode is selected, even if the selected One Touch Setting setup includes "Harmony ON".

The CVP-79A/69/69A/59S Custom Style feature allows you to create original accompaniment styles that can be later recalled and played at any time, just like the presets. Up to 8 custom styles can be maintained in internal memory at the same time, and any number can be saved to disk for later reloading and use.

The basic custom style recording procedure is outlined below.

NOTES

• Custom style data is not retained in memory when the power is turned off, so be sure to save your custom styles to disk before turning the power off.
• One pre-programmed temporary style is automatically loaded into the [DISK/CUSTOM] memory whenever the power is turned on. (Memory is common to the Custom Styles and the loaded styles from the optional Style File disks — page 55.)

CUSTOM STYLE INTRO : RHYTHM1 Pop Ballad 1 BEAT MEAS. PART QUANTIZE 4/4 2 START RECALL SECTION

Use the BEAT LCD button to select a different time signature, or the data dial or [+]/[-] buttons once the BEAT parameter has been selected. As soon as you choose to change the beat value, the “Clear STYLE ?” prompt will appear, since you will have to completely clear all sections and parts of the style and start recording from scratch if you change the time signature. Press OK to clear the style, or CANCEL to abort. Once the style has been cleared you can select a new time signature as required: 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, or 5/4.

Clear STYLE ? OK CANCEL

NOTES

• In the CUSTOM STYLE, MAIN A, MAIN B, INTRO, FILL IN or ENDING are referred to as "section", and RHYTHM 1/2, BASS, CHORD 1/2, PAD or PHRASE 1/2 are referred to as "part".
• Only one pattern can be created for each INTRO, FILL IN and ENDING section.
• Whether the “A” or “B” variations of the INTRO, FILL IN and ENDING sections are used as the source pattern depends on whether the MAIN A or MAIN B section was selected when the Custom Style function was engaged. (As for FILL IN, “FILL IN from A to A”, or “FILL IN from B to B” is used.)

Use the MEAS. LCD button to select a different number of measures for the selected section, or the data dial or [+]/[-] buttons once the MEAS. parameter has been selected. As soon as you choose to change the number of measures in the section, the “Clear SECTION ?” prompt will appear, since you will have to clear all parts of the currently selected section and start recording from scratch if you change the number of measures. Press OK to clear the section, or CANCEL to abort. Once the section has been cleared you can select a new number of measures as required: 1 through 8. The FILL IN section has only 1 measure and the number of measures cannot be changed although the FILL IN section can be cleared using this operation.

Clear SECTION ? OK CANCEL

Once the BEAT and/or MEAS. parameters have been set as required, press the PAGE [<] button to go back to the first custom style page.

5 Select the Part & Voice You Want to Record ....

Use the PART LCD button, the data dial, or [+]/[-] buttons to select the part you want to record:

R1	Rhythm 1
R2	Rhythm 2
Bs	Bass
C1	Chord 1
C2	Chord 2
Pd	Pad
P1	Phrase 1
P2	Phrase 2

CUSTOM STYLE 78 Pop Ballad 1 MAIN A E 1/2 ♥ 4/4 MAIN B INTRO R1 R2 Bs Cl · Pa Pi · REC FILLIM ENDING PART CLEAR SOLO PLAY OFF

The R1 part is initially selected and set to the record mode.

Any part you select can be set to the record mode by using the rightmost LCD button to select “REC” after selecting the part (the part number will appear white in a black box). Since parts other than R1 and R2 must be cleared before they can be recorded (if the source style is a preset style or a style loaded from the optional Style File disk) the “Clear Part ?” confirmation will appear if you select a part that contains data: press OK to clear the part and continue, or CANCEL to abort. Only one part can be set to the record mode. All other parts will be set to “PLAY” (part number surrounded by box) or turned “OFF” (part number only — no box). Parts that contain no data are indicated by a dot in place of the part number.

Clear PART ? OK CANCEL

At this point you can also select the voice you want to record with (the preset voice for that part will initially be selected). Only [DRUMS/PERC.] voices can be used for the R1 part and only Drum Kit voices can be used for the R2 part, while any other voices can be selected for the remaining parts.

6 Record the Selected part.

You can now add new parts to the selected part by playing the keyboard at the appropriate timing (play in C Major seventh since the Custom Style is recorded as a C Major seventh pattern). If you want to create a totally new part from scratch, press the CLEAR LCD button to clear the selected part before beginning to record. If both the R1 and R2 parts are cleared the metronome will sound to provide a timing guide (the metronome sound is not recorded). When a drum kit voice is used, a single drum instrument sound can be cleared from the R1 or R2 part by pressing the key corresponding to the instrument to be cleared while holding the keyboard “CANCEL” (C1) key. The metronome timing guide can also be cleared in this way.

Another useful recording aid is the SOLO LCD button: when this button is pressed and highlighted, only the selected part will sound. Press the SOLO button again to turn the solo function off and hear the entire style.

7 Quantize the Recorded Part, if Necessary

You can “tighten up” the timing of a recorded part by aligning all notes to specified beats via the PART QUANTIZE function in CUSTOM STYLE page 2 (press the PAGE [>] button). Press the LCD button below the note symbol to select “quantize size” — i.e. the beats to which the notes in the current part will be aligned:

32nd notes 8th notes 16th note triplets quarter-note triplets 16th notes quarter notes 8th note triplets

- Playback can be started and stopped via the [START/STOP] button as required while in the Custom Style mode — data cannot be recorded while playback is stopped.

- The timing guide will stop as soon as the Custom Style is stored. - The sound of all parts is automatically stopped at the end of the style — i.e. at the point between repeats when recording. It is therefore not advisable to record over this point.

CUSTOM STYLE INTRO : RHYTHM1 Pop Ballad 1 BEAT 4/4 MEAS. 2 PART QUANTIZE- START RECALL SECTION

Once the required quantize size has been selected press the START LCD button to actually quantize the current part. Playback will stop for an instant while the data is being quantized, then the START LCD button will change to UNDO, allowing you to undo the quantize operation and return to the pre-quantized data if the results are not as you expected. You will not be able to UNDO once another button has been pressed.

8 Repeat Until the Custom Style is Complete ....

Repeat steps 3 through 7 until all parts or all sections have been recorded as required.

9 Name the Custom Style ....

When your custom style is complete, use the PAGE buttons to select CUSTOM STYLE page 3, and press the STYLE NAME LCD button to go to the style naming page.

CUSTOM STYLE Pop Ballad 1 MEMORY STYLE CLEAR STYLE NAME STORE

The current style name appears in the upper right corner of the display. Use the > LCD button to position the underline cursor at the character you want to change (style names can be up to 12 characters in length). Use the data dial and/or the [+]/[-] buttons to select the character you want to enter from the list in the center of the display, then press the c.set LCD button to enter the character at the current cursor position. Repeat this procedure until your name is complete. The c.del LCD button can be used to back up one space and delete a character.

• If the selected memory number already contains a style, the style name will appear next to the memory number. The existing style will be overwritten when a new style is stored.

NOTES

- Custom style data is not retained in memory when the power is turned off, so be sure to save your custom style before turning the power off — see "Save to disk" on page 52.

Other Custom Style Functions

In addition to the various functions described in the basic custom style recording procedure, above, the CUSTOM STYLE display pages include several other functions that you may find useful when creating custom styles.

■ Recall Section

This function makes it possible to recall the last-stored version of the currently selected section (all parts of the section are recalled). Simply press the RECALL SECTION LCD button in CUSTOM STYLE page 2. If the recall operation can't be carried out (i.e. The time signature has been changed), the “Can’t recall!” alert display will appear. If this happens press OK to return to the previous display.

Volume & Effects

CUSTOM STYLE page 4 includes a range of parameters that let you individually set the volume, reverb, effect, and pan for each part of each custom style section. Use the SECT. parameter to select the section (or "ALL" sections), and the PART parameter to select the part (or "ALL" parts). The third LCD button selects VOLUME, REVERB, EFFECT or PAN, and the VALUE (or DEPTH) parameter sets the amount or depth. When VOLUME is selected the SECT. parameter is fixed at "ALL" and the VALUE range is from -50 to +50, relative to the preset volume of the source style. The REVERB and EFFECT DEPTH ranges are from 0 to 100. The PAN VALUE settings are L10 (full left) ... C (center) ... R10 (full right). When EFFECT is selected the TYPE parameter appears and you can also select the effect type via the TYPE LCD button. The available effect types are listed below.

- Effect type "OTHERS" may appear if the preset effect type is other than that of what is in the list.

■ Save to Disk.

A complete set of 8 custom styles or individual custom styles can be saved to disk via CUSTOM STYLE page 5.

CUSTOM STYLE [DISK] MEMORY No. 1 [TEMP.STYLE ] SAVE

After making sure that a properly formatted disk is inserted in the Clavinova disk drive (page 98), use the MEMORY No. ▲ and ▼ buttons to select the memory number of the custom style you want to save to disk, or “ALL” if you want to save a complete set of 8 custom styles. When this is done, press the SAVE LCD button to start saving the data to disk. At this point the name entry display will appear and you can enter a name for the Custom Style disk file in the same way as you entered a name for the Custom Style itself (page 49). Press SAVE when the name has been entered. If a file with the same name already exists the “Same name! Overwrite?” confirmation prompt will appear. Press OK to overwrite the existing file or CANCEL to abort.

Your custom styles must be stored to internal memory before they can be saved to disk (see step 10 of the basic custom style recording procedure). If a custom style has not been stored and you attempt to save it to disk, the “Please store before saving” alert display will appear. If this happens press OK to return to the previous display (CUSTOM STYLE page 3), store the custom style, then try saving again.

Press the [EXIT] button to exit from the Custom Style mode and return to the normal play mode.

NOTES

• Saved Custom Style files can be loaded via the "STYLE FILE LOAD" function described in the "Style File Load" section (page 55).

Once created, your original custom styles can be selected for playback by pressing the [DISK/CUSTOM] button (its LED will light), and then using the STYLE ▲ and ▼ LCD buttons — or the data dial or [+]/[-] buttons — to select the custom style you want to play. The selected style can then be played and used with ABC auto accompaniment in exactly the same way as the preset styles (page 28).

DISK/CUSTOM STYLE STYLE 1.TEMP.STYLE 2. 3. STYLE FILE CUSTOM STYLE ALL LOAD LOAD SINGLE

NOTES

- Since only one type of INTRO, FILL IN, and ENDING section can be recorded for each Custom Style, no "A/B" variations are produced during playback.

NOTES

• Registration backup is normally enabled, so the registration data is retained in memory even when the power is turned off. If registration backup is turned off via the "Backup" function described on page 107, all registration data will be initialized to the factory-preset settings when the power is turned off.
• Factory-preset data is provided for all registration banks and memory locations.
• Complete sets of registration data can be saved to and loaded from disk as described on page 99.

Recall the Registered Panel Settings

Simply select the appropriate bank as described above, then press the desired [REGISTRATION] button at any time to recall the memorized settings. The corresponding Registration Memory number will appear next to the “R” symbol in the display.

A pencil (edit) symbol will appear next to the registration number in the display as soon as any change is made to the panel settings. In other words, if the pencil symbol is showing, the current panel settings are different from those stored in the memory.

The CVP-79A/69/69A/59S can play back songs you've recorded yourself using the song recorder function described in the next section, and songs on optional Yamaha Disk Orchestra Collection disks (one is supplied with the Clavinova). With Disk Orchestra Collection (“DOC”) disks the Clavinova will let you enjoy listening to automated performances, or function as your “private music tutor,” allowing you to practice various parts of a piece while the others are played automatically. The CVP-79A/69/69A/59S also shows you which keys to play with keyboard guide lamps that light up above each key. You can also play “in ensemble” with the complete Disk Orchestra Collection arrangement.

Different displays will appear depending on the type of data being played. But any type of data can be played back by following the operation procedure described below. Also refer to the “Playing Other Types of Music Data” section on page 71.

- Playback data is not transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector.

Straight Playback

1 Engage the Song Play Mode ....

The Song Play mode is engaged automatically when a song disk is inserted in the disk drive. Insert a disk containing songs you've recorded yourself or a DOC disk into the disk drive with the sliding door facing the drive slot and the label side facing upward. The disk should click into place and the disk lamp will light briefly while the Clavinova reads and identifies the disk. Once the disk has been identified the SONG PLAY [MAIN] display will appear and the [PLAY] button indicator will light.

If a song disk is already inserted but the Song Play mode is not engaged, press the [PLAY] button so that its indicator lights and the SONG PLAY [MAIN] display (SONG PLAY page 1) appears.

You can exit from the song play mode by pressing the [PLAY] button so that its indicator goes out, or by pressing the [EXIT] button.

NOTES

• During Disk Orchestra Collection play-back the left- and right-hand voice can be changed by using the normal voice selection procedure (page 15). In this case the selected voice also becomes the keyboard voice. The selected voice is shown in the SONG PLAY page 1 display.
• When playing back a song recorded on the Clavinova, only the keyboard voice can be changed. The keyboard voice name is shown in the SONG PLAY page 1 display.
• Please note that playback may not immediately start while the Clavinova is searching the disk for a selected song after the START LCD button or the panel [START/STOP] button is pressed.
• With some songs the displayed measure numbers may not match those marked on the score.
• Some songs start after a click count-in.
• The playback tempo can be changed freely as required. The preset tempo for the selected song can be recalled at any time by pressing the TEMPO [+] and [-] buttons simultaneously.
• Some Disk Orchestra software does not produce a tempo display (e.g. free-tempo phrases, etc.). In this case, “- - -” will appear in place of the tempo on the display, and the measure numbers shown on the display will not match the actual measure numbers of the song.
• The keyboard guide lamps corresponding to the keys being played by the RIGHT and LEFT part (or PART 1 and PART 2) will light in real time. The keyboard guide lamps can be turned off via the LAMP LCD button in SONG PLAY display page 3.

CAUTION

- NEVER eject a disk or turn the power off while:

1. The disk drive lamp is on.
2. A song is playing.

Playing Back Specific Parts

The RIGHT, LEFT, and ORCH LCD buttons (PART 1, PART 2, and OTHERS when an original song disk is being played) can be used to turn playback of the corresponding parts on or off. The buttons are highlighted when the parts are turned on. Use these buttons to select the parts you want to play back. You can, for example, turn off the right and/or left-hand parts so you can practice them on the keyboard. When an original song disk is being played, the tracks turned on and off by the PART 1 and PART 2 buttons can be specified via the SONG PLAY [PART ASSIGN] display (SONG PLAY page 6), described below. The default settings are: PART 1 = Track 1, PART 2 = Track -- (off).

● Turning Individual Orchestra Parts On or Off

Normally the ORCH (or OTHERS) LCD button turns all the orchestra parts (tracks 3 through 10 and the rhythm tracks), or all parts other than parts 1 and 2 on or off at once. You can, however, turn these parts on or off individually via the SONG PLAY [TRACK PLAY] display (SONG PLAY page 5).

NOTES

- When playing back Disklavier PianoSoft disks (see "Playing Other Types of Music Data", page 71) only the RIGHT or RIGHT and LEFT LCD buttons will appear.

Part Assignment for Original Song Playback

Before an original song disk is played, specify the tracks to be turned on and off by the PART 1 and PART 2 LCD buttons via the SONG PLAY [PART ASSIGN] display.

Use the PAGE buttons to select the SONG PLAY [PART ASSIGN] display (SONG PLAY page 6), then use the PART 1 and PART 2 parameters to assign the desired tracks to the corresponding parts. For either part the corresponding ▲ and ▼ buttons can be used to select a track, or the data dial or [+]/[-] buttons can be used once the parameter is selected.

SONG PLAY [PART ASSIGN] 78 E 1 3 SONG_003.MID PART1 TRACK 1 PART2 TRACK --

The default settings are: PART 1 = Track 1, PART 2 = Track -- (off). Tracks 1 through 16 can be selected for both parts 1 and 2, and part 2 can additionally be turned off. The same track cannot be assigned to both parts.

- The [PART ASSIGN] display will not appear when Disk Orchestra Collection or Disklavier data (see “Playing Other Types of Music Data”, page 71) is being played.

Overall Song Playback Volume Control

The ABC/SONG VOLUME control can be used to control the overall volume of song playback. Whenever a song is first selected, however, the maximum volume setting (=standard volume level setting) is recalled regardless of the position of the ABC/SONG VOLUME control. The song playback volume can then be adjusted as required.

VOLUME MASTER VOLUME MAX MIN ABC/SONG VOLUME MAX MIN

• If ABC is turned on during the playback of an original song that was recorded without ABC, the ABC/SONG VOLUME control will affect the ABC sound rather than the song playback sound.
• ABC cannot be used during playback of a song recorded with ABC or Disk Orchestra Collection playback.

Individual Part Volume Control & Voice Selection

Press the [MIXER] button while in the Song Play mode to access the song playback volume parameters, and the voice selection parameter for the left- and right-hand voice when a Disk Orchestra Collection disk is being played. The MIXER display will disappear when the [MIXER] button is pressed a second time, or when the [EXIT] button is pressed.

Disk Orchestra Collection Disk Playback

During Disk Orchestra Collection playback the MIXER display has two pages. Page 1 includes the L&R volume and L&R VOICE parameters. Use the L&R LCD button — or the data dial or [+]/[-] buttons once the L&R parameter has been selected — to set the volume of the left- and right-hand voice. Use the L&R VOICE ▲ and ▼ LCD buttons or the data dial or [+]/[-] buttons once the L&R VOICE parameter has been selected to select the voice used for the left- and right-hand parts.

MIXER 150 E 1 4 Swings,Swings, L&R 100 T L&R VOICE Grand Piano1

Page 2 of the MIXER display includes independent volume parameters for the RHYTHM, BASS, ORCH (orchestra), and KBD (keyboard) parts, and a PRESET LCD button that resets all volume parameters to “100”. Any of the volume parameters can be selected and incremented by using the corresponding LCD button, or the data dial or [+]/[-] buttons can be used to increment or decrement the currently selected volume parameter. Press the [+] and [-] buttons simultaneously to recall the default (“100”) volume setting. Several parts can be selected at once by pressing the corresponding LCD buttons at the same time. The volume of all selected parts can then be adjusted simultaneously.

NOTES

• When playing back Disklavier PianoSoft disks (see "Playing Other Types of Music Data", page 71) only the L&R VOICE LCD buttons will appear.
• The voice change for the left- and right-hand parts by this operation does not affect the keyboard voice. But if you press the panel [VOICE] button, the result will be both the keyboard voice and the left- and right-hand part voice being changed simultaneously.

NOTES

- When a different song is selected the voice and volume settings will be reset to the default settings.

■ Original Song Disk Playback

During original song disk playback the MIXER display has 5 pages. The first four pages include independent volume parameters for each of the 16 song tracks. Page five includes the KBD (keyboard) volume parameter and a PRESET LCD button. The volume parameters are adjusted in the same way as described above.

Guided Right- and Left-hand Practice

With this feature, the Clavinova indicates the notes to play via the keyboard guide lamps and waits for you to play the appropriate keys before playing ahead, so you can learn to play the piece at your own pace. The guide lamps can be turned on or off as required. Two guide modes are provided:

SONG PLAY [GUIDE] 144 E 1 GUIDE MODE NEXT NOTE SOUND 1 Bach'sMinuet LAMP ON

● Next Note:

In this mode the guide lamps of the Clavinova indicate in advance, which note(s) you will have to play next. If you miss the correct timing, the lamp(s) will start to flash while the Clavinova will wait until you play the correct keys. Only then the guide lamp(s) for the next note(s) will light up and you can quickly move your hands to the corresponding area on the keyboard. This is the default guide mode.

● Sound:

Both the keyboard guide lamps and sound are used to guide you to the proper notes. In the Sound mode the Clavinova will play ahead for approximately one phrase and then wait until the appropriate notes, as indicated by the keyboard guide lamps, are played. If the appropriate notes are not played for a few seconds, the Clavinova will automatically play and repeat the phrase until it is played properly. This is an excellent way to learn to associate the keys with the notes they produce.

• When playing back the internal RAM data (see "Recording Without a Disk", page 89) or the Standard MIDI File format 1 data (see "Playing Other Types of Music Data", below) “- - -” will appear in the GUIDE MODE parameter location and only the current notes to be played will be shown on the keyboard guide lamps — i.e. the “next notes” will not appear.
• The GUIDE MODE cannot be changed during playback.
• When the DOC song recorded for the special guide mode is selected, the special guide mode for that song will be automatically engaged — in this case neither of the NEXT NOTE or SOUND sections will be highlighted. But you can re-select the NEXT NOTE or SOUND mode by pressing the corresponding LCD button. (The NEXT NOTE or SOUND mode cannot be re-selected when not at the beginning of a song or when the PHRASE REPEAT or A-B REPEAT mode (page 69) is engaged.)

The GUIDE display appears automatically when the [GUIDE] button is pressed to turn the guide function on. If the guide function is already on, the PAGE buttons can be used to select the SONG PLAY [GUIDE] display (SONG PLAY page 3). Use the GUIDE MODE NEXT NOTE or SOUND LCD button to select the desired guide mode. The settings of the RIGHT and LEFT LCD buttons (or PART 1 and PART 2) in the SONG PLAY [MAIN] display (SONG PLAY page 1) will then determine whether the guide function operates for the left-hand part (part 2) only, the right-hand part (part 1) only, or both parts, as shown below.

When you press the [START/STOP] button or the START LCD button in the SONG PLAY [MAIN] display (SONG PLAY page 1) to begin playback, the introduction will play automatically but then the Clavinova will stop and wait for you to play the correct note(s). The CVP-79A/69/69A/59S indicates the key(s) to be played via the guide lamps above the keyboard. As you play the appropriate notes, the piece will continue, pausing until you play the right notes each time.

If the guide lamps flashing above the keyboard distract you, or you want to try playing along without them, simply press the LAMP LCD button in the SONG PLAY [GUIDE] display to turn the lamps “OFF”. Repeat to turn the guide lamps back on.

As with regular playback, the song will stop automatically when the end is reached, or it can be stopped at any time by pressing the STOP LCD button in the SONG PLAY [MAIN] display (SONG PLAY page 1) or the panel [START/STOP] button.

Press the [GUIDE] button so that its indicator goes out when you want to turn the guide function off.

NOTES

• When the guide function is turned off (i.e. the [GUIDE] button indicator is off) and the SOUND mode is selected, the guide lamps light in real time corresponding to the notes played by the left- and right-hand parts, when both the left- and right-hand parts are either on or off. If one or the other of the parts is off, the guide lamps correspond only to the part that is turned off. When the guide function is turned off and the NEXT NOTE mode is selected, both the current (flashing) and next notes (continuously-lit) are shown by the guide lamps if either or both parts are turned off. (If both parts are turned on, only the current notes are shown by the guide lamps.)
• The guide part can be selected, the guide LAMP can be turned on and off, and the guide function itself can be turned on and off during playback.
• Playback tempo can be set to any desired value after a song has been selected by using the TEMPO [+] and [-] buttons.
• The positions of the guide lamps do not change if the transpose function is used to transpose the pitch of the keyboard.
• The [oPAUSE], [rREW] and [fFF] buttons will not operate during play-back when the guide function is in use.
• The guide function may not work properly with software which was not produced for independent left- and right-hand playback.
• Since the guide “phrases” used in the SOUND mode are automatically determined by the Clavinova, they may not precisely match the actual musical phrases. Also, the phrases may become shorter when the guide function is used for both the left- and right-hand parts.

Repeat Functions

The CVP-79A/69/69A/59S has a range of repeat functions that can be useful aids for learning to play difficult passages. The repeat modes are all accessible via the SONG PLAY [REPEAT] display (SONG PLAY page 2). Use the REPEAT MODE ▲ and ▼ LCD buttons, the data dial, or the [+]/[−] buttons to select the desired repeat mode: OFF, PHRASE, 1 SONG, or A-B REPEAT.

■ Phrase Repeat (Disk Orchestra Collection only)......

Use this function if you want to practice a specific phrase within a song, as indicated by the phrase marks on the Disk Orchestra Collection score.

When the PHRASE repeat mode is selected the PHRASE parameter will appear on the display. Use the PHRASE ▲ and ▼ LCD buttons, or the data dial or [+]/[-] buttons once the PHRASE parameter is selected, to select the desired phrase number (refer to the Disk Orchestra Collection book that comes with the Disk Orchestra Collection disk). Playback can be started and stopped as described above.

SONG PLAY [REPEAT] 144 E 9 1 Bach's Minuet REPEAT MODE PHRASE PHRASE 1

When the 1 SONG mode is selected, any song selected and played as described above will play repeatedly until stopped by pressing either the STOP LCD button in the SONG PLAY [MAIN] display or the panel [START/STOP] button.

SONG PLAY [REPEAT] 144 E 1 1 Bach's Minuet REPEAT MODE 1 SONG 2 III 1

NOTES

• The ALL or RANDOM playback mode (SONG PLAY [MAIN] display) will be disengaged when any of the repeat modes is selected.
• Any previously set repeat mode will be reset to OFF when a different song number is selected.

A-B Repeat

This function allows you to specify any section of a song for continuous repeat playback.

When the A-B REPEAT mode is selected, A→ and B point entry buttons will appear on the display. While the song is playing, press the A→ button once at the beginning of the section to be repeated and then press the B button at the end of the section to be repeated. Repeat playback will begin automatically from the A point as soon as the B point has been specified. The programmed A and B points are retained until a different song number or a different repeat mode is selected, and the A-B repeat playback can be started and stopped again by using the [START/STOP] button.

SONG PLAY [REPEAT] 144 E 1 1 Bach's Minuet REPEAT MODE A-B REPEAT A→ B

NOTES

• The specified A-B repeat points will be erased when a new song number or another repeat mode is selected.
• A 1-measure count-in will normally be produced when phrase or A-B repeat playback is started. A count-in will not be produced for songs that do not contain a rhythm track.
• A count-in will not be produced in the 1 SONG repeat playback mode.
• When both the A and B points are specified, pressing the B button clears the B point only resulting in repeat playback between the A point and the end of the song. Pressing the A button clears both the A and B points.

Other Playback Controls

Pause

Press the [o PAUSE] button to temporarily stop song playback. Press the [o PAUSE] button again (or the [START/STOP] button or START LCD button in page 1) to resume playback from the same point.

SONG CONTROL REW FF PAUSE

■ Rewind and fast Forward

During song playback the [r REW] and [f FF] buttons function as follows:

● While playback is stopped or paused the [r REW] and [f FF] buttons can be used to step backward or forward through the song a measure at a time. Either button can also be held for continuous stepping in the specified direction.
- During playback the [r REW] and [f FF] buttons allow you to move rapidly in the specified direction for as long as the button is held. No sound is produced during [r REW] operation.

• The [r REW], [f FF], and [o PAUSE] buttons do not function when playing with the guide function.
• Using the [r REW] button may cause the voice, tempo, and/or volume to change.

Playing Other Types of Music Data

In addition to original songs and Disk Orchestra Collection disks, the Clavinova can also play back Yamaha Disklavier PianoSoft™ disks, disks containing Yamaha ESEQ format sequence data, and disks containing songs recorded in Standard MIDI File format (SMF formats 0 and 1).

The Clavinova's internal tone generator is compatible with the GM System Level 1 voice allocation as well as the Yamaha DOC voice allocation.

• The [r REW] and [f FF] buttons do not function with SMF format 1 data.
• Yamaha ESEQ data recorded on other Clavinovas (CVP- 55/65/75/83S/85A/87A/89) will normally be played back with the correct voices. It may be necessary, however, to change the voice numbers of the data to conform to the CVP 79A/69/69A/59S voice allocation when other types of data are played back.
• Regardless of the type of software, only the following disk formats can be used: 3.5" 2DD 720 kilobyte format; 3.5" 2HD 1.44 megabyte format.
• The SONG PLAY [MAIN] (page 1), [TRACK PLAY] (page 5), and MIXER displays differ depending on the type of data being played. The [PART ASSIGN] display (page 6) will not appear when Disk Orchestra Collection or Disklavier data is being played.

The CVP-79A/69/69A/59S features a built-in “sequencer” which can be used to independently record up to 16 separate parts of a single musical composition. Each part is recorded on a separate song “track”. The music data that you record is stored on a 3.5" floppy disk loaded into the Clavinova’s disk drive unit. Up to approximately 60 songs can be recorded on a single disk, depending on the amount of data contained in each song. Before you can record, however, you must “format” a new disk, as described on page 98.

A number of confirmation, information, prompt, alert, and error displays may appear during operation. See the “MESSAGES” on page 110 if you need more details on any of these messages.

NOTES

- The Clavinova records data using the SMF format 0 and the Clavinova's internal voices which include GM system level 1 compatible voice assignments.

3 Select a Song Number

Use the SONG ▲ and ▼ buttons, the data dial, or the [+]/[-] buttons to select a SONG NUMBER between 1 and 60 for the piece you are about to record (up to 60 different songs, each with a different song number, can be recorded on a single disk). Make sure the song number you select has not already been used for a song previously recorded on the disk you are using.

QUICK RECORD 78 696KB Grand Piano1 SONG 1 [ ] KBD REC ABC&RHY OFF CHORD SEQ.

4 Set the Track Modes as Required

Two tracks (actually one track and a track group) are available for quick recording: KBD (keyboard) and ABC&RHY (ABC & rhythm). When the QUICK RECORD mode is first selected and a song that does not already contain data is selected, the KBD (keyboard) track will be set to REC and the ABC&RHY track will be set to OFF. In this state the Clavinova is ready to record the keyboard track only. If you also want to record rhythm and ABC accompaniment, use the ABC&RHY LCD button to set the ABC&RHY track to REC, or press the panel [ABC ON] button.

QUICK RECORD 78 696KB Grand Piano1 SONG 1 [ ] KBD ABC&RHY REC OFF CHORD SEQ.

If you select a song that already contains data, the track(s) which contains data can be set to PLAY. This lets you record a new track while listening to previously-recorded material. If you don't want to hear a previously-recorded track while recording, simply use the corresponding LCD button to turn it OFF.

- If a song name appears along with the song number, the selected song already contains data.

• If ABC is already on when the record mode is engaged, the ABC&RHY track will automatically be set to "REC".
• Harmony data can be recorded by turning the HARMONY mode on. Also, Dual or Split voices can be recorded by engaging the Dual or Split mode. (In this case the KBD part uses two tracks.)
• When the ABC&RHY track is set to "REC", or when the KBD track is set to "REC" and the ABC&RHY track is set to "PLAY", the metronome will sound to provide a timing guide in the synchronized start mode before recording is started
• When any track is set to "REC", the amount of disk space available for recording will appear next to the tempo display (in approximate kilobytes). An empty 2DD/2HD disk should have about 696KB/1407KB (room enough for about 50,000/100,000 notes if no other data is recorded) respectively. When recording is started this display is replaced by the measure number display.
• REC mode cannot be selected if the current song position is not the beginning of the song — e.g. the [r REW] and [f FF] buttons have been used to change the song position.

5 Select a Voice

Use the VOICE selectors and displays to select the voice you want to record with.

If you will be recording the ABC&RHY tracks you can also select a style.

6 Start Recording

Play on the keyboard. Recording will begin automatically as soon as you start playing (the synchro start mode is automatically selected when the QUICK RECORD mode is engaged — but it can be disengaged as required). You can also start recording by pressing the panel [START/STOP] button.

7 Stop Recording

Stop recording by pressing the [START/STOP] button. When recording has finished and the recorded data has been written to disk, the mode of the recorded track will automatically switch to PLAY, indicating that the track is ready for playback.

8 Play Back the Recording

Press the [START/STOP] button to play back your recording. Play along on the keyboard if you like. During playback you can use the [o PAUSE], [r REW], and [f FF] buttons, as described on page 70. You can also change the playback tempo via the TEMPO [+] and [-] buttons.

Playback will stop automatically when the end of the recording is reached, or you can press the [START/STOP] button to stop it at anytime.

Press the [RECORD] button so that its indicator goes out, or the [EXIT] button, to exit from the QUICK RECORD mode.

NOTES

- If you want to try out the selected voice on the keyboard before proceeding — turn the synchro-start mode off so that recording doesn't start automatically as soon as you play on the keyboard.

NOTES

• The Clavinova may continue to write data to the disk for a short time after you stop recording. DO NOT eject the disk while the disk drive indicator is lit or flashing.
• You can enter a name for the recorded song, as described on page 87. (When a song has been recorded, a temporary name “SONG_XXX.MID” (XXX is the song number) will be given to the song automatically.)
• During recording the [ABC/SONG] volume control and the MIXER display will function as the recorded ABC and/or keyboard part volume control.
• New data cannot be recorded to songs recorded on other instruments, also any edit in the record mode is not possible.
• The guide lamps do not light during recording.
• [ABC ON] and/or [HARMONY] button indicator(s) automatically go out when the recording of these parts has finished.
• When recording has finished, the [EFFECT] is automatically turned off (but the recorded effect remains active).

In the normal single-voice play mode only one track needs to be record-enabled at a time in order to record the keyboard part. If you intend to record using the DUAL or SPLIT mode, however, two tracks must be record-enabled — only one or two tracks can be record-enabled at a time to record the keyboard part. If ABC accompaniment is turned on tracks 9 through 16 are automatically record-enabled (these are the tracks on which the ABC data is recorded). If the HARMONY function is engaged tracks 6 through 8 are automatically record-enabled (tracks 6 through 8 are used to record the harmony data).

The TRACK f LCD button can also be used to select the RHYTHM tracks (9 and 10) if you only want to record the rhythm sound. The cursors appear under the 9 and 10 tracks, and the REC/PLAY/OFF LCD button can be used to set them to record-enabled.

4 Set All Performance Features As Required ....

After setting the tracks to be recorded to the record-enable mode, set up all necessary performance features as required: voice, voice mode (normal, dual, or split), style, tempo, etc.

5 Start Recording....

Unlike the QUICK RECORD mode the synchronized start mode is automatically turned OFF when the multi-track recording mode is engaged. You can, however, engage the synchro start mode at this point so that recording will begin automatically as soon as any key on the keyboard is pressed. Otherwise press the [START/STOP] button to start recording on the specified track(s). The current measure number is shown on the display as you record.

The following parameters will be recorded in addition to notes you play:

NOTES

• Two tracks can be record-enabled only when the DUAL or SPLIT mode is ON, otherwise only one track can be record-enabled.
• Track 10 (and 9 in some case) can only be used to record the internal rhythm sound and cannot be used to record the keyboard part. Also, the keyboard part should be recorded on a track other than those used for ABC, RHYTHM, and HARMONY.
• When the RHYTHM, ABC, and/or HARMONY tracks are set to record-enabled, the synchronized start mode is automatically turned on.
• When the RHYTHM tracks (9 and 10) are set to record-enabled, or set to play-enabled and other track(s) are set to record-enabled, the metronome will sound to provide a timing guide in the synchronized start mode before recording is started.

NOTES

- If ABC and/or HARMONY is already on when the multi-track recording mode is engaged, the corresponding tracks are automatically record-enabled and the synchronized start mode is automatically turned ON.

NOTES

When the PEDAL punch-in mode is selected:

• Recording can be started directly by pressing the left pedal while playback is paused (without first pressing the [START/STOP] or [PAUSE] button).
• Recording can also be stopped by pressing the left pedal. In this case the data following the punch-out point will be left active.
• If you start recording by pressing the left pedal while playback is paused, and stop by the [START/STOP] button, the result will be that all the data after the punch-in point will be erased. (If you stop by using the PUNCH OUT LCD button or the left pedal, only the data between the punch-in and punch-out points will be erased.)

NOTES

- If you press the [START/STOP] button or [o PAUSE] button to start recording, and the [START/STOP] button or the PUNCH OUT LCD button to stop recording without actually recording anything in between, the original data will be left untouched.

This function includes three parameters which determine whether the left-hand voice in a split keyboard setup (LEFT), the 2nd voice in the dual mode (2ND), and the right-hand or main voice (RIGHT/1) will be shifted up or down one octave.

Press the LEFT, 2ND, or RIGHT/1 LCD button as many times as necessary to set as required:

-1	Corresponding voice shifted down one octave.
0	No shift. (Default for the RIGHT/1 and 2nd voices.)
+1	Corresponding voice shifted up one octave. (Default for the LEFT voice.)

■ Touch Sensitivity

The Clavinova can be set to one of five different types of keyboard touch sensitivity to match different playing styles and preferences. Press the KEY TOUCH button as many times as necessary to select the desired touch response setting.

SOFT 2	Allows maximum loudness to be produced with very light key pressure.
SOFT 1	Not as sensitive as the “SOFT 2” setting, but maximum loudness can still be easily produced with relatively light key pressure.
NORMAL	Produces a fairly “standard” keyboard response. (Default.)
HARD 1	Requires the keys to be played quite hard to produce maximum loudness.
HARD 2	Requires the keys to be played very hard to produce maximum loudness.

NOTES

• Press the [-] and [+] buttons simultaneously to restore normal keyboard pitch ("0").
• The Transpose setting is retained in memory even when the power is turned off if the BACKUP page VOICE SETTING parameter is turned on (page 107), otherwise the Transpose is always set to "0" when the power is turned on.
• The transpose function does not affect the Drum Kit voices.
• Notes below and above the original 88-key range of the Clavinova sound one octave higher and lower, respectively.

NOTES

• The Octave Shift setting is retained in memory even when the power is turned off if the BACKUP page VOICE SETTING parameter is turned on (page 107).
• Notes below and above the original 88-key range of the Clavinova sound one octave higher and lower, respectively.
• In the normal play mode (i.e. single voice mode) only the RIGHT/1 setting is effective.

NOTES

- The Touch Sensitivity setting is retained in memory even when the power is turned off if the BACKUP page VOICE SETTING parameter is turned on (page 107), otherwise the NORMAL setting is automatically selected whenever the POWER switch is turned on.

Sound

FUNCTION [SOUND] TUNE 440.0 Hz PAN LEFT 2ND RIGHT/1 L-R L-R L-R

Tune

The Tune function makes it possible to tune the Clavinova over about a ±26 -Hertz ( ±100 -cent) range in 0.2-Hertz intervals. A hundred “cents” equals one semitone, so the tuning range provided allows fine tuning of overall pitch over a range of approximately a semitone. This function is useful for tuning the Clavinova to match other instruments or recorded music. Normal pitch is A3 = 440 Hertz.

Use the TUNE ▲ and ▼ LCD buttons to set the tuning as required. The data dial and [+]/[-] buttons can also be used once the TUNE parameter has been selected. The default value of 440.0Hz can be instantly recalled by pressing the TUNE ▲ and ▼ LCD buttons simultaneously.

Pan

The pan positions of the left-hand voice in a split keyboard setup (LEFT), the 2nd voice in the dual mode (2ND), and the right-hand or main voice (RIGHT/1) can be individually set via the appropriate PAN parameters.

Press the LEFT, 2ND, or RIGHT/1 LCD button according to the voice you want to pan, then use the data dial or [+]/[-] buttons to set the pan position as required. The graphic bar shows the approximate pan position between full left (“L”) and full right (“R”). The default position can be instantly recalled by pressing the [+] and [-] buttons simultaneously.

NOTES

• The Tune setting is retained in memory even when the power is turned off if the BACKUP page TUNE/MICRO TUNING parameter is turned on (page 107), otherwise the tuning is always set at 440.0Hz when the power is turned on.
• The Tune function does not affect the Drum Kit voices.

NOTES

• The pan setting is retained in memory even when the power is turned off if the BACKUP page VOICE SETTING parameter is turned on (page 107).
• The default pan position for some voices is center, while some voices feature keyboard scaling — i.e. the keyboard is spread across the stereo sound field (see the voice list on page 116). Both types appear in center position on the LCD. Any changes in the pan setting are then relative to the default position.
• The Drum Kit voices have special pan settings for each individual instrument.
  • The PAN setting affects all voices.
• The PAN setting affects the keyboard sound only.
• In the normal play mode (i.e. single voice mode) only the RIGHT/1 setting is effective.

MIDI 1

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. The MIDI parameters included in the CVP-79A/69/69A/59S’s three MIDI function pages provide extensive flexibility in adapting the Clavinova to just about any MIDI system.

The parameters contained in the MIDI 1 function page include the SEND CH, which determines the BASIC and LEFT/2 voice MIDI send channels, LOCAL control setting — on or off, and the CLOCK setting — internal or external.

FUNCTION [MIDI 1] SEND CH BASIC LEFT/2 1 OFF LOCAL CLOCK ON INT.

Send Channel

In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched for proper data transfer (there are 16 MIDI channels). This function sets the basic and left-hand/2nd MIDI send (transmit) channels of the CVP-79A/69/69A/59S. The LEFT/2 parameter applies to the left-hand voice in split keyboard setups and to the 2nd voice in the dual mode. All other keyboard data is transmitted via the BASIC channel. Both parameters can be turned OFF or set to any channel from 1 through 16.

Press the BASIC or LEFT/2 LCD button according to the channel you want to set, then use the data dial or [+]/[-] buttons to set the channel as required.

● MIDI Reception

The CVP-79A/69/69A/59S always receives MIDI data in the “Multi-Timbre” mode. This is a mode in which the Clavinova voices can be independently controlled on different MIDI channel numbers (1 through 16) by an external MIDI device.

- The Send Channel settings are retained in memory even when the power is turned off if the BACKUP page MIDI parameter is turned on (page 107), otherwise the default BASIC send channel is 1 and the default LEFT/2 send channel is OFF.

■ Local Control ON/OFF

“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. This means that while an external MIDI sequencer, for example, plays the Clavinova's internal voices, an external tone generator can be played from the Clavinova keyboard.

Press the LOCAL LCD button to alternately turn local control ON and OFF.

Clock

This function determines whether the Clavinova's auto-accompaniment or song record/playback timing is controlled by the Clavinova's own internal clock or an external MIDI clock signal received from external equipment connected to the MIDI IN connector.

Press the CLOCK LCD button to alternately select the EXT. (external) or INT. (internal) clock mode.

- The Local setting is retained in memory even when the power is turned off if the BACKUP page MIDI parameter is turned ON (page 107), otherwise the default setting is ON.

• The Clock setting is retained in memory even when the power is turned off if the BACKUP page MIDI parameter is turned ON (page 107), otherwise the default setting is INT.
• If the Clock Mode is set to EXT. and a MIDI clock signal is not being received from an external source, the rhythm, ABC and other clock-dependent features will not operate.

MIDI 2

The “MIDI 2” function page contains the MIDI FILTER settings which can be used to turn transmission and reception of certain types of MIDI data on or off.

FUNCTION [MIDI 2] 5 PROGRAM MIDI FILTER SEND & CONTROL START/STOP SEND & RECEIVE SEND & RECEIVE SEND & RECEIVE

Program

Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI program change numbers received from an external keyboard or other MIDI device, causing the correspondingly numbered Multi-Timbre mode 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, and vice versa.

Press the PROGRAM LCD button to alternately turn program change number reception and transmission ON (SEND&RECEIVE) and OFF.

Control

Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI control change data received from an external MIDI device or keyboard, causing the corresponding Multi-Timbre mode voice 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 either of its pedals are operated.

This function makes it possible to cancel control change data reception and transmission if you do not want the Clavinova to be affected by control change data received from an external device or vice versa.

Press the CONTROL LCD button to alternately turn control change data reception and transmission ON (SEND&RECEIVE) and OFF.

■ Start/Stop

Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI start and stop commands received from an external MIDI device or keyboard, causing the auto-accompaniment or song record/playback functions to start or stop in the same way as the panel [START/STOP] button. The Clavinova also transmits MIDI start and stop commands when the corresponding functions are operated.

This function makes it possible to cancel start/stop command reception and transmission if you do not want the Clavinova to be affected by start/stop commands received from an external device or vice versa.

Press the START/STOP LCD button to alternately turn start/stop command reception and transmission ON (SEND&RECEIVE) and OFF.

NOTES

- The Program setting is retained in memory even when the power is turned off if the BACKUP page MIDI parameter is turned ON (page 107), otherwise the default setting is SEND&RECEIVE.

NOTES

- The Control setting is retained in memory even when the power is turned off if the BACKUP page MIDI parameter is turned ON (page 107), otherwise the default setting is SEND&RECEIVE.

NOTES

- The Start/Stop setting is retained in memory even when the power is turned off if the BACKUP page MIDI parameter is turned ON (page 107), otherwise the default setting is SEND&RECEIVE.

MIDI 3

The MIDI 3 function page contains the TRANSPOSE and SEND parameters which determine whether MIDI note data will be affected by the Transpose setting (page 91), and whether the ABC, rhythm, and harmony data will be transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal.

FUNCTION [MIDI 3] TRANSPPOSE RECEIVE SEND ON OFF SEND ABC&RHY HARMONY OFF OFF

■ Transpose

The RECEIVE parameter determines whether MIDI note pitch received by the Clavinova will be affected by the setting of the Transpose function (see page 91), while the SEND parameter determines whether MIDI note pitch transmitted by the Clavinova will be affected by the setting of the Transpose function.

Press the RECEIVE or SEND LCD button to alternately turn transposition of received or transmitted MIDI data ON and OFF.

Send

These parameters determine whether MIDI data corresponding to ABC/rhythm and harmony playback will be transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal. Press the ABC&RHY or HARMONY button to alternately turn transmission of the corresponding data ON (9–16ch / 6–8ch) or OFF. When on, the ABC and rhythm data is transmitted on MIDI channels 9 through 16, and the harmony data is transmitted on channels 6 through 8.

NOTES

• The actual note number received or transmitted is not affected. The transposition is produced by the MIDI control change RPN coarse tune data.
• The MIDI Transpose settings are retained in memory even when the power is turned off if the BACKUP page MIDI parameter is turned ON (page 107), otherwise the RECEIVE parameter is turned On and the SEND parameter is turned OFF.

NOTES

• The Send settings are retained in memory even when the power is turned off if the BACKUP page MIDI parameter is turned ON (page 107), otherwise both parameters are turned OFF.
• If you intend to send the ABC/rhythm or harmony data via MIDI, it is a good idea to set the BASIC and LEFT/2 channels (page 94) to the different channels than the ones used for ABC/rhythm (9...16) and harmony (6...8) data to avoid data conflict problems.
• If either of these parameters is on, the ABC/rhythm and/or harmony data will be sent even if the BASIC send channel is turned OFF.

Format

The FORMAT page provides access to the Disk Format function which allows new disks or disks formatted on other equipment to be “formatted” for use with the Clavinova.

The Clavinova uses only 3.5" 2DD or 2HD floppy disks. We recommend that you use Yamaha disks. Before you can use a new disk for recording, the disk must be formatted so that the Clavinova can recognize it and correctly write the music data onto it.

1 Insert the Disk To Be Formatted

Insert a new blank disk. Make sure that the disk's write protect tab is set to the “write” position (tab closed), and insert the new disk into the disk drive unit with the sliding door facing the drive slot and the label side of the disk facing upward. The disk should click securely into place, and the disk drive lamp should light briefly. The “Start disk format?” display will automatically appear if an unformatted disk is inserted. Press the OK LCD button to format the disk or the CANCEL LCD button to abort.

Start disk format ?

OK | CANCEL

2 Confirm & Start the Format Operation

When “Are you sure?” appears press the YES LCD button to confirm and continue, or the NO LCD button to cancel the operation. This extra confirmation step is necessary because formatting completely erases any data that is already on the disk — make sure that the disk you’re about to format does not contain any important data!

Formatting will begin the instant you select “YES”. The progress of the format operation will be indicated by a bar-graph on the display. When formatting is complete, you can go ahead and record using the Song Record function, use the Song Copy function to copy songs, or save other data to the disk.

Are you sure?

YES NO

Although the Clavinova is a self-contained musical instrument that simply be plugged into the AC mains outlet and played, it also features a number of connectors for system expansion.

AUX IN L/L+R and R Jacks

ALDX IN R LL+R Tone Generator

These jacks are intended primarily for use with external synthesizers or tone generator modules.

For example, the outputs of the synthesizer/tone generator can be to the Clavinova AUX IN jacks, allowing the sound of the synthesizer/tone generator to be reproduced via the Clavinova's internal amplifier and speaker system. For monaural signal input (when the connected device is monaural), use only the L/L+R jack.

AUX OUT L/L+R and R Jacks

AUX OUT R LL+R Stereo System

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.

MIDI IN, THRU and OUT Connectors

(MIDI IN and OUT on the CVP-59S)

CVP-79A/69/69A IN —— MIDI OUT —— THRU MIDI Sequencer Tone Generator

The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device (such as a synthesizer, sequencer, music computer, etc.) which can be used to control the Clavinova. The MIDI THRU connector provided on the CVP-79A, 69, and 69A 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).

EXP PEDAL Jack (CVP-79A)

EXP PEDAL

An optional Yamaha FC7 Foot Controller can be plugged into this jack for foot volume (expression) control of the keyboard sound only (i.e. expression doesn't affect the auto-accompaniment sound or disk playback). Press the pedal forward to increase volume, and backward to decrease volume.

NOTES

- The input signal from the AUX IN jacks is delivered to the AUX OUT jacks, but is not affected by the Clavinova's volume control or reverb effect.

CAUTION

- The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the AUX IN jacks, either directly or through external equipment.

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?

2. No Rhythm, ABC, or Song Playback Sound

Check the ABC/SONG VOLUME control setting. No sound is produced if it is set to the minimum position.

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 setting of the Clavinova volume control to a level at which the distortion ceases.
