In order to make the most of your Clavinova’s performance potential and features, we urge you to read this Owner’s Manual thoroughly, and keep it in a safe place for later reference. The LCD displays as illustrated in this manual are for instructional purposes only, and may appear some- what different from yours.

Taking Care of Your Clavinova conso 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. Avoid Dust & Moisture Avoid locations in which the instrument is likely to be exposed to excessive dust or moisture. Power-off Before Connecting Connections between the Clavinova and any other device must be made with both pieces of equipment turned off.

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-595).

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 electri- cal shock!

7. Electric Interference

Since the Clavinova contains digital circuitry, it may cause inter- ference if placed too close to radio or television receivers. If this occurs, move the instrument further away from the affected equipment. 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 selec- tor dial so that the correct voltage appears next to the pointer on the panel.

9. Name Plate Location

The Clavinova name plate, including the units 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 à blank floppy disk should be used (one blank disk is sup- plied 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. mWhen ejecting a floppy disk from the disk drive:

+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 properiy if the eject button is pressed t00 quickly or ifitis not pressed in far enough. (The eject button may become stuck halfway with the disk extending from the slot by only à few milimeters). If this is the case, do not attempt to pull out the partally ejected disk. Doing so may damage the disk drive mechanism and/or the floppy disk. To remove à partially ejected disk, ty pressing the eject button once again or push the disk back into the slot, then repeat the eject procedure carefull. ever 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. AUse 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. mNever leave disks near a speaker, TV, or other device that emits a strong magnetic field BDo 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. maAvoid getting the disks wet. me sure to store the disks in environmental conditions as specified below: + Storage temperature: 4° to 53°C (39° to 127F). + Storage humidity: 8 to 90% relative humidity. + Store in an area free from dust, sand, smoke, etc. me 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 even- tually 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 Itis 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) SUIS Write protect tab Write protect tab open (locked — closed (unlocked write protected) — write enabled)

If you will be using sheet music with your Clavinova, raise the mu- sic 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-794/60/604) CVP-79A [The Power Switch To open the CV P-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.

This number includes all notes being played at the same time in any single or combination use of dual, split, accompani- ment, 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 CV P-79A/69/69A/59S. The Clavinova also offers keyboard touch response, so the volume and timbre of notes played can be con- trolled 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 simultane- ously across the entire range of the keyboard. This makes iteasy to create exceptionally rich, thick tonal textures.

The guide lamps can be tumed on or off as required. Two guide modes are provided:

NOTE © 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 tim- ing, 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 cor- responding 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 automati- cally 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 pro- duce. + 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 param- eter location and only the current notes to be played will be shown on the keyboard guide lamps — ie. the ‘next notes” will not appear.

Y.ä&| The Utility Functions ..….................... The “utility functions” described in this chapter include keyboard, disk, MIDI, and general functions that significantly enhance the versatility and flexibility of the CVP-79A/69/694/595. All ofthe utility functions are selected and set in the same way for consistent, easy operation: E Press the [FUNCTION] button so that its indicator lights. FUNCTION CKEYBOARD] OCTAUE SHIFT:

EX Press the [EXIT] button, or the [FUNCTION] button so that its indi- cator goes out when done.

ou Le Le [nor EH Transpose … The Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of two octaves (from -24 through 0 to +24). “Transposing” the pitch of the Clavinova keyboard makes it easier to play in difficult key signatures, and you can simply match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instrumentalist. Use the data dial or [+]/[-] buttons to set the desired degree of transposition. Octave Shift. 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.) + Corresponding voice shifted up one octave. (Default for the LEFT voice.) Æ Touch Sensitivity . The Clavinova can be set to one of five different types of key- board touch sensitivity to match different playing styles and prefer- ences. Press the KEY TOUCH button as many times as necessary to select the desired touch response setting. SOFT2 Allows maximum loudness to be produced with very light key pressure. SOFT1 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 maxi- mum loudness Press the [-] and [+] buttons simultaneously to restore normal keyboard pitch (“0”). The Transpose setting is retained in memory even when the power is tumed off if the BACKUP page VOICE SETTING parameter is tumed on (page 107), otherwise the Transpose is always setto “0” when the power is tumed on. The transpose function does not affect the Drum Kit voices. Notes below and above the original 88-key range of te Clavinova sound one octave higher and lower, respectively. + The Octave Shift setting is retained in memory even when the power is tumed off if the BACKUP page VOICE SETTING param- eter is tumed on (page 107). Notes below and above the original 88-key range of te Clavinova sound one octave higher and lower, respectively. In the normal play mode (ie. single voice mode) only the RIGHT/1 setting is effective. + The Touch Sensitivity setting is retained in memory even when the power is tumed off if the BACKUP page VOICE SETTING param- eter is tumed on (page 107), otherwise the NORMAL setting is automatically selected whenever the POWER switch is turned on.

LEFT IGHT/1 The Tune function makes it possible to tune the Clavinova over about a #26-Hertz (Æ00-cent) range in 0.2-Hertz intervals. A hun- dred “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 instru- ments or recorded music. Normal pitch is A3 = 440 Hertz. Use the TUNE À and # LCD buttons to set the tuning as re- quired. 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 À and w# LCD but- tons simultaneously. 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. LPedal + The Tune setting is retained in memory even when the power is turned of ifthe 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. The pan setting is retained in memory even when the power is tumed off ifthe BACKUP page VOICE SETTING parameter is tuned on (page 107). The default pan position for some voices is center, while some voices feature keyboard scaling — ie. 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 ten relative to the default posi- tion. The Drum Kit voices have special pan set tings for each individual instrument. The PAN setting affects all voices. The PAN setting affects the keyboard sound only. + In the normal play mode (ie. single voice mode) only the RIGHT/1 setting is effective.

MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a world-standard communication interface that al- lows 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 CV P-79A/69/69A/59$'s three MIDI function pages provide extensive flexibility in adapting the Clavinova to just about any MIDI system. The parameters contained in the MIDI 1 function page include the SEND CH, which determines the BASIC and LEFT/2 voice MIDI send channels, LOCAL control setting — on or off, and the CLOCK set- ting — internal or external. FUNCTION [MIDI 1] —SEND CH LOCAL CLOCK INT. SU [u In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched for proper data transfer (there are 16 MIDI channels). This function sets the basic and left-hand/2nd MIDI send (transmit) channels of the CV P-79A/69/60A /59$. 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 BASTC or LEFT/2 LCD button according to the channel you want to set, then use the data dial or [+J/[-1 buttons to set the chan- nel as required. © MIDI Reception The CVP-79A/69/69A/59$ 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 re- tained in memory even when the power is tued off ifthe 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.

Æ Local Control ON/OFF … E Clock. “Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the Clavinova key- board controls its internal tone generator, allowing the intemal 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 key- board does not play the internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI infor- mation 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. This function determines whether the Clavinova’s auto-accompani- ment or song record/playback timing is controlled by the Clavinova’s own internal clock or an external MIDI clock signal received from exter- nal equipment connected to the MIDI IN connector. Press the CLOCK LCD button to alternately select the EXT. (exter- nal) or INT. (internal) clock mode. Emi 2 .00000000000000000000000000000000000000000 The Utility Functions Œ NOTES + The Local setting is retained in memory even when the power is tumed off ifthe BACKUP page MIDI parameter is tumed ON (page 107), otherwise the default setting is ON.

Ifthe 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 fea- tures will not operate. 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] MIDI FILTER PROGRAM CONTROL TART/STOP SEND & RECEIVE SEND £& RECEIVE SEND & RECEIVE

EH Program … E Control. = Start/Stop Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI program change num- bers 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 num- bered 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 num- bers. 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. Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI control change data received from an external MIDI device or keyboard, causing the corre- sponding 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 recep- tion and transmission if you do not want the Clavinova to be affected by control change data received from an extemal device or vice versa. Press the CONTROL LCD button to alternately turn control change data reception and transmission ON (SEND&RECEIVE) and OFF. Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI start and stop com- mands 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/STO P] button. The Clavinova also transmits MIDI start and stop commands when the corresponding func- tions are operated. This function makes it possible to cancel start/stop command recep- tion 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 tumn start/stop command reception and transmission ON (SEND&RECEIVE) and OFF.

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 31 % — TRANSPOSE — SEND

RECEIVE _ SEND ABCERHY HARMONY

The RECEIVE parameter determines whether MIDI note pitch re- ceived 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 transpo- sition of received or transmitted MIDI data ON and OFF. 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 alter- nately 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. + The actual note number received or transmitted is not affected. The trans- position is produced by the MIDI con- trol change RPN coarse tune data.

If you intend to send the ABC/rhythm or harmony data via MIDI, itis à good idea to setthe 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. Ifeither of these parameters is on, the ABC/rhythm and/or harmony data will be sent even ifthe BASIC send chan- nel is tuned OFF.

Zac | The Connectors 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. Æ AUX IN L/L+R and R J acks … These jacks are intended primarily for use with external synthesizers or tone generator modules. Ê For example, the outputs of the synthesizer/tone ï | generator can be to the Clavinova AUX IN jacks, al- lowing the sound of the synthesizer/tone generator to Gkake) be reproduced via the Clavinova's intemal amplifier Tone Generator and speaker system. For monaural signal input (when the connected device is monaural), use only the L/ L+R jack. Æ AUX OUT L/L+R and R Jack The AUX OUT L/L+R and R jacks deliver the output of the Clavinova for connection to an instru- ment amplifier, mixing console, PA system, or record- ing 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 com- bined 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-59$) The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from CVP-79A/69/69A an external MIDI device (such as a synthesizer, se- quencer, 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 de- vices. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by the Clavinova (e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the Clavinova keyboard). MIDI Sequencer Tone Generator H EXP PEDAL J ack (CVP-79A).. 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. + 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. + The AUX OUT jack signal must never be retumed to the AUX IN jacks, either directiy or through extemal equipment.

Troubleshooting ....................... If you encounter what appears to be a malfunction, please check the following points before assuming that your Clavinova is faulty. . 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? . 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 posi- tion. . The Clavinova Reproduces Radio or TV Sound This can occur if there is a high-power transmitter in your vicinity. Contact your Yamaha dealer. . 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.
