- In the case of a model with a polished finish, gently remove dust and dirt with a soft cloth. Do not wipe too hard since small particles of dirt can scratch the instrument's finish. - When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry/dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.

Handling caution

• Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or instrument.
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the key cover, panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
• In the case of a model with a polished finish, bumping the surface of the instrument with metal, porcelain, or other hard objects can cause the finish to crack or peel. Use caution.
• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

Using the bench (If included)

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

Tuning

Unlike an acoustic piano, the Clavinova does not need to be tuned. It always stays perfectly in tune.

Transporting

If you move to another location, you can transport the Clavinova along with your other belongings. You can move the unit as it is (assembled) or you can disassemble the unit.

Transport the keyboard horizontally. Do not lean it up against a wall or stand it up on its side. Do not subject the instrument to excessive vibration or shock.

After transporting the instrument, do the following to ensure optimum performance of the iAFC function (page 92):

• Place the Clavinova so that its rear panel is at least 10cm away from the wall.
• Perform the automatic adjustment of the iAFC function (page 93).

Main Features

NW (Natural Wood) with synthetic ivory keytops

This type of keyboard features the feel of real ivory. The special Natural Wood keyboard also uses real-wood white keys. The key surface is soft and slightly porous, giving the keys added grip and a natural friction that lets you play easily. This authentic touch and feel of the keys goes far beyond existing electronic keyboards, making you feel as if you're playing a real grand piano. The specially crafted keyboard also lets you use techniques only possible on grand pianos, such as playing the same note successively and having the sounds blend smoothly even without use of the damper pedal, or playing the same key quickly and having perfect articulation without the sound cutting off unnaturally.

AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling

The CLP-380 features Yamaha's original AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling tone-generation technology that gives the instrument its rich, authentic voices and unmatched sonic realism. AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) is a sampling system which creates authentic acoustic instrument sounds by using digital technology to record the actual instrument sound and applying high-quality digital filter technology to the recorded audio samples. The GRAND PIANO 1 Voice in particular features completely new samples recorded from a full-size concert grand piano. Each sampled note has been adjusted and processed meticulously to ensure the very best sound—with instantaneous attack and expressive response. This special Voice features three velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sampling), Sustain Sampling for recreating the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano's soundboard and strings when the damper pedal is pressed, and Key-off Samples that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are released. These sophisticated features and advanced technologies ensure that the instrument sounds and plays virtually the same as an actual acoustic piano.

Tri-Amp System

The instrument has a built-in Tri-Amp System that features separate amplification for each speaker range—high, mid, and low—providing greater clarity and accuracy from each speaker, ensuring optimum volume balance for each octave range, and letting you enjoy richer, more natural, expansive sound.

The Acoustic Ambience of a Grand Piano—with the iAFC Feature

Turn on the iAFC (Instrumental Active Field Control) effect, and hear the sound expand around you—as if you're playing on stage in a concert hall. Use the Spatial Effect to recreate and emphasize the natural sounds of true acoustic instruments. The overall sound is deeper and more resonant, especially when using the damper pedal (Dynamic Damper Effect).

Internet Direct Connection (IDC)

By directly connecting the CLP-380 to the Internet, you can use the special service on the Yamaha website that enables you to automatically play back a wide variety of songs (song data) in various musical genres directly on your instrument.

Turning the power on

1. Connect the power cable.

First insert the plug of the power cable into the AC connector on the Clavinova, then plug the other end of the cable into the proper AC outlet on the wall. For an illustration of the location of the [AC IN] connector, see "Panel Controls and Terminals" (page 10). In some areas a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin configuration of the AC wall outlets in your area.

(The shape of plug differs depending on locale.)

WARNING

Make sure your CLP-380 is rated for the AC voltage supplied in the area in which it is to be used (voltage rating appears 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. Connecting the unit to the wrong AC supply can cause serious damage to the internal circuitry and may even pose a shock hazard!

Use only the AC power cord supplied with the CLP-380. If the supplied cord is lost or damaged and needs to be replaced, contact your Yamaha dealer. The use of an inappropriate replacement can pose a fire and shock hazard!

The type of AC power cord provided with the CLP-380 may be different depending on the country in which it is purchased. (In some areas a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin configuration of the AC wall outlets in your area.) Do NOT modify the plug provided with the CLP-380. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Voice

On the Clavinova, a voice means "tone" or "tonal color."

TIP

You can also switch between voices in the same group by pressing a voice group button repeatedly.

TIP

To learn characteristics of the voices, listen to demo songs for each voice group (page 17). Refer to "Preset Voice List" on page 114 for more information on characteristics of each preset voice.

TIP

You can control the loudness of a voice by how hard you play the keyboard, although different playing styles (touch sensitivities) have little or no effect with the sound of certain musical instruments. Refer to "Preset Voice List" on page 114.

TIP

XG is a major enhancement of the GM System level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha specially to provide more voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over voices and effects, and to ensure compatibility of data well into the future.

Using the pedals

The Clavinova has three foot pedals: damper pedal (right), sostenuto pedal (center), and soft pedal (left) that produce a range of expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.

Line drawing of three identical mechanical clips mounted on a horizontal line (no text or symbols)

Damper (right) pedal

When you press the damper pedal, the notes you play have a longer sustain.

When you select Grand Piano 1, pressing the damper pedal activates the instrument's special "Sustain Samples" to accurately recreate the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano's soundboard and strings. The damper pedal also features a naturally expressive half-pedal function.

Musical notation diagram showing rhythmic patterns with notes and wavy lines indicating sound or rhythm states

When you press the damper pedal here, the notes you play before you release the pedal have a longer sustain.

Sostenuto (center) pedal

If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held. All subsequent notes will not sustain.

Musical notation diagram showing a staff with notes and a wavy line indicating motion or vibration

When you press the sostenuto pedal here while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as you hold the pedal.

Soft pedal (left)

The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while the pedal is pressed. (The soft pedal will not affect notes that are already playing when it is pressed. Press the pedal immediately before you play the target notes.)

With the Vibraphone, Jazz Organ and Mellow Organ voices, this pedal turns vibrato on and off or toggles the speed of vibrato. (See page 98.)

TIP

If the damper pedal doesn't work, or notes are sustained even when the pedal is not pressed, make sure that the pedal cord is properly plugged into the [PEDAL] jack on the unit (see step 6 on page 119). Also, make sure that the RPedalFunc parameter in the "FUNCTION" menu is set to ON (see page 96).

TERMINOLOGY

Half-pedal:

While playing the piano with Sustain and you want to slightly mute the sustained sound, release the damper pedal from maximum position to half position.

TIP

The threshold at which the Half Pedal effect starts can be set from the Half Pedal Point parameter in the Function menu (page 98).

TIP

You can adjust the depth of the resonance produced by the "Sustain Samples" using the Sustain Sampling Depth parameter in the "FUNCTION" menu. (See page 99.)

TIP

You can assign a function to each pedal via the "RPedalFunc", "CPedalFunc", and "LPedalFunc" parameters in the "FUNCTION" menu. (See page 96.)

TIP

The center and left pedals can also be assigned to song start/stop operation (PLAY/PAUSE function) via the "PedalPlay/Pause" parameter in the "FUNCTION" menu (on page 98).

Adding variation to the sound [BRILLIANCE]/[REVERB]/[CHORUS]

TIP

If you select [Bright1], [Bright2] or [Bright3] as the type of brilliance, the volume level will increase slightly. Under this condition, if you raise the [MASTER VOLUME] dial setting, the sound may become distorted. In this case, lower the volume accordingly.

[REVERB]

This control adds reverberation to the sound by simulating the natural reverberation of a concert hall.

Procedure

Pressing the [REVERB] button repeatedly toggles the reverb on and off.

Even if the reverb effect is turned off, a “soundboard reverb” effect will be applied when the GrandPiano1 or GrandPiano2 voice is selected.

[CHORUS]

This control adds spread and spaciousness to the sound.

Procedure

Pressing the [CHORUS] button repeatedly toggles the chorus on and off.

You can turn the chorus effect on and off by pressing the [CHORUS] ON/OFF buttons on the panel and by setting the Chorus On Off parameter in the VOICE SETTING menu (see page 89). The [CHORUS] ON/OFF button setting on the panel is temporary. That is, if you select another voice, the chorus setting for the previous voice is cancelled. The Chorus On Off parameter setting is saved for each voice. That is, if you select a given voice, the chorus setting is automatically turned on or off according to the saved chorus setting.

TIP

You can select a reverb type via the Reverb Type parameter in the "VOICE SETTING" menu, and adjust the reverb depth for the selected voice via the Reverb Send parameter. (See page 88.)

TIP

Recording Your Performance

This chapter explains how to record your performance using the Clavinova recording function.

You can, for example, play back what you have played on the Clavinova keyboard for an effective practice aid. You can also record just the left-hand part, then practice the right-hand part while playing back the recorded left-hand part.

Since you can record up to sixteen parts separately, you could record the left- and right-hand parts separately, or record each part of a four-handed performance or ensemble song one by one to build a song.

TERMINOLOGY

Recording vs. Saving:

The format of performance data recorded on a cassette tape differs from that of data recorded on the Clavinova. A cassette tape records audio signals. On the other hand, the Clavinova "saves" information regarding note timing, voices, and a tempo value, but not audio signals. When you play back recorded songs, the Clavinova produces sound based on the saved information. Therefore, recording on the Clavinova may be more accurately called "saving information." However, this book often uses the word "recording" because it seems to make more sense.

A message (information or confirmation dialog) sometimes appears on the screen to facilitate operation. Refer to the “Message List” on page 104 for an explanation of each message, appropriate actions to take, and troubleshooting information.

TIP

You can record your performance (audio data) to a cassette tape recorder or other recording devices via the AUX OUT connector. (See page 73.)

Recording a New Song

There are two ways to record your performance: recording it quickly without specifying a recording part, or recording several different parts to multiple parts. You can select whichever way best suits your purpose.

■ Recording a performance without specifying the recording part (page 32)

This convenient and simple recording method lets you quickly record your performance without specifying the recording parts—useful, for example, in recording solo piano pieces. In this way, the performance is automatically recorded to part 1 (right part).

■ Recording a performance of several different parts (page 35)

This lets you record the right, left and extra parts separately. Since you can record the left part while playing back the right, this is useful for recording both parts of a duet. Since you can record up to sixteen parts separately, record the performance of each instrument part one by one and create fully orchestrated compositions.

Clavinova memory

The Clavinova has the following three types of memory:

Current memory:

This is a temporary memory area where you can temporarily place and edit the currently-selected song before playback or recording.

Preset song memory:

This read-only memory area saves 50 piano preset songs.

Storage memory:

This memory area enables you to save recorded songs or song data loaded from USB storage device.

When you select a song in the song select screen, it is loaded from Preset song memory, Storage memory, or USB storage device, into Current memory.

You will use Current memory to play back and record songs. When you turn off the power to the Clavinova, songs saved in Preset song memory and Storage memory are not erased. On the other hand, songs in Current memory are lost. However, recorded songs are automatically saved to Storage memory from Current memory.

In this manual, a song located in a song recorded in Current memory, is referred to as a “Current song,” a song in Storage memory is a “Memory song,” and a song on a USB storage device is an “External song.”

Access point	A device that acts as a communication hub for multiple wireless devices, and conventionally enables both wired and wireless LAN connections.
Broadband	An Internet connection technology/service (such as ADSL and optical fiber) that allows for high-speed, high-volume data communication.
Browser	The software used to search for, access, and view web pages. For this instrument, this refers to the display that shows the contents of the web pages.
Cookie	A system that records certain information that the user transfers when visiting a website and using the Internet. The function is similar to a preference file in a conventional computer program, in that it “remembers” certain information such as your user name and password, so you don’t have to re-enter the information each time you visit the site.
DHCP	This is a standard or protocol by which IP addresses and other low-level network configuration information can be dynamically and automatically assigned each time connection is made to the Internet.
Download	Transferring data over a network, from a larger “host” system to a smaller “client” system’s hard drive or other local storage device—much like copying files from your hard disk drive to a floppy disk. For this instrument, this refers to the process of transferring Song and other data from a website to the instrument.
Home page	The first page shown when opening a browser and connecting to the Internet. This phrase is also used to mean the “front screen” or top page of a website.
Internet	A huge network made up of networks, the Internet allows high-speed data transfer among computers, mobile phones and other devices.
IP address	A string of numbers assigned to each computer connected to a network, and indicating the device’s location on the network.
LAN	Short for Local Area Network, this is a data-transfer network that connects a group of computers at a single location (such as an office or home) by means of a special cable.
Link	Location information in other sentences and images, etc. that are under buttons and character strings on a web page. When the place with the link is clicked, the page selection jumps to the relevant link.
Modem	A device which connects and allows data transfer between a conventional telephone line and a computer. It converts the digital signals from the computer to analog audio for sending over the phone line, and vice versa.
Provider	A communications business that offers Internet connection services. In order to connect to the Internet, it is necessary to contract to a provider.
Proxy	A proxy server is a server that all computers on a local network have to go through before accessing information on the Internet. It intercepts all or designated requests to the real server to see if it can fulfill the requests itself. If not, it forwards the request to the real server. Proxy servers are used to improve performance and speed, and to filter requests, usually for security and to prevent unauthorized access to an internal network.
Router	A device for connecting multiple computer networks. For example, a router is necessary when connecting several computers in a house or office, and allow them to all access the Internet and share data. A router is usually connected between a modem and a computer, although some modems have a built-in router.
Server	A hardware system or computer used as a central point for a network, providing access to files and services.

1/16+1/24......	J_+J_3^2	sixteenth note + six

The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally convenient, since they allow you to quantize two different note values at the same time. For example, when the straight eighth notes and eighth notes triplet are contained in the same part, if you quantize by the straight eighth notes, all notes in the part are quantized to straight eighth notes—completely eliminating any triplet feel. However, if you use the eighth note + eighth note triplet setting, both the straight and triplet notes will be quantized correctly.

From this display, you can determine how strongly the notes will be quantized. A setting of 100% produces exact timing. If a value less than 100% is selected, notes will be moved toward the specified quantization beats according to the specified percentage. Applying less than 100% quantization lets you preserve some of the “human” feel in the recording.

Detailed settings for iAFC [iAFC SETTING]

When iAFC is engaged, the Clavinova will sound deeper and more resonant, similar to an acoustic musical instruments. This lets you experience the ambience and reverberation that are characteristic of performing on stage or simulates the sustain sound that occur when you press the damper pedal of a grand piano.

This section describes how to make various settings for the iAFC function. You can also perform an automatic adjustment in order to obtain the optimal iAFC effect.

Procedure

Press [iAFC SETTING] button to enter iAFC Setting mode.

Setting range:

On/Off

Adjusting the Dynamic Damper Effect depth

[DynDmpFX Depth]

Dynamic Damper Effect is one type of the iAFC effect. Dynamic Damper Effect simulates the sustain sound that occurs when you press the damper pedal of a grand piano. The internal microphones are not used, but the sound produced within the Clavinova is processed to create a spacious sensation, as you press the damper pedal and play the keyboard.

See the procedure on page 80.

DynDmpFX Depth 105 A B - + - + - + O NO YES O

Setting range:

0 - 127

Adjusting the Spatial Effect depth

[SpatialFX Depth]

Spatial Effect is one type of the iAFC effect. Spatial Effect creates a sense of reverberation and spaciousness by picking up the output sound using internal microphones and output the sound from the speaker on the rear of the instrument. The spread and spaciousness of the sound is different depending on the depth. For lower depth settings, this creates the resonance and enhances the acoustic realism of the sound that is characteristic of acoustic instruments by creating a virtual soundboard. For deeper depth settings, the sound of the instrument itself and the sound of singing and other instruments played nearby is picked up by internal microphones, and processed to simulate the spatial characteristics of performing together on stage.

See the procedure on page 80.

A - + - + C SpatialFX Depth 14 B - + - + D NO YES

Setting range:

0 - 127

Calibration (automatic adjustment)

[Calibration]

This automatically adjusts the sensitivity and response of iAFC so that the optimal iAFC effect will be obtained.

When automatic adjust begins, a test sound (noise) will sound for about five seconds.

While automatic adjustment is being performed, do not make audible noises in the vicinity of the Clavinova.

See the procedure on page 80.

Calibration Sure?--> Test sound is output.

TIP

The keyboard will not produce sound while automatic adjustment is being performed. Nor is it possible to adjust the volume of the Clavinova.

Changing the key

[Transpose]

TIP

TRANSPOSE= To change the key

(Changing the key: To raise or lower the overall pitch of the entire song.)

The Clavinova's Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals to facilitate playing in difficult key signatures, and to let you easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if you set the transposition amount to "5," playing key C produces pitch F. In this way, you can play the song as if it were in C major, and the Clavinova will transpose it to the key of F.

A - + Transpose Master 0 B - + NO YES C D

Setting for:

Master ....The sound of the entire instrument (the manually-played sound and the song playback)

Keyboard ....The manually-played sound Song....The song playback

Setting range:

-12 (-1 octave) - 0 (normal pitch) - +12 (+1 octave)

Selecting a touch response

[TouchResponse]

You can specify a touch response (how the sound responds to the way you play the keys).

See the procedure on page 80.

TouchResponse Vel= 64 Fixed

Setting range:

Light.... With a soft touch, the Clavinova produces a loud sound. The volume level of tones tends to be consistent.

Medium...... Standard touch response.

Heavy .... You must hit the key very hard to generate a loud volume. This allows for versatile expression, from pianissimo to fortissimo tones.

Fixed.... No touch response. The volume level will be the same regardless of how hard you play the keys. Use the B [- (NO)][+ (YES)] buttons to set the volume level.

Setting range of the "Fixed" volume level:

1 - 127

Fine tuning the pitch

Selecting a scale

[Scale]

You can select various scales.

Equal Temperament is the most common contemporary piano tuning scale. However, history has known numerous other scales, many of which serve as the basis for certain genres of music. You can experience the tunings of these genres.

See the procedure on page 80.

Scale BaseNote=C PureMajor NO YES - + + - + + O

Setting range:

Equal ...... One octave is divided into twelve equal intervals. Currently most popular piano tuning scale.

PureMajor/PureMinor

Based on natural overtones, three major chords using these scales produce a beautiful, pure sound.

Pythagorean .... This scale, designed by Pythagoras, a Greek philosopher, is based on the interval of a perfect 5th. The 3rd produces swells, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some leads.

MeanTone .... This scale is an improvement of the Pythagorean in that the swell of the 3rd has been eliminated. It spread during the late 16th century through the late 18th century. Handel used this scale.

These scales combine Mean Tone and Pythagorean in different ways. With these scales, modulation changes the impression and feel of the songs. They were often used in the era of Bach and Beethoven. They are also often used now to reproduce the music of that era on harpsichords.

Normal setting:

Equal

If you select a scale other than Equal, you need to specify the root note using the B[-(NO)][+(YES)] buttons.

Tuming Local control on/off

[LocalControl]

"Local Control On" is a state in which the Clavinova produces the sound from its tone generator when you play the keyboard. In "Local Control Off" state, the keyboard and the tone generator are cut off from each other. This means that even if you play the keyboard, the Clavinova will not produce the sound. Instead, the keyboard data can be transmitted via MIDI to a connected MIDI device, which can produce the sound. The "Local Control Off" setting is useful when you wish to play an external sound source while playing the keys on the Clavinova.

See the procedure on page 80.

A - + LocalControl On B - + NO YES - + D

Setting range:

On/Off

Questions about Operations and Functions

■ The buttons do not respond.

While you are using a function, some buttons not used for the function are disabled. If the song is playing, stop the playback. Otherwise, press the [EXIT] button to return to the main screen. Then, perform the desired operation.

■ The sound sustains indefinitely and does not decay when I press the sostenuto pedal.

With the voices in the CHURCH ORGAN, JAZZ ORGAN, STRINGS, CHOIR group, or some voices in the XG group, the sound continues sustaining while you are holding down the sostenuto pedal.

■ Higher or lower notes does not sound correctly when the transpose or octave setting is made.

The setting range for the transposition and octave setting is C -2 – G8. (With the normal setting, the Clavinova's 88 keys covers the range of A -1 – C7.) If the lowest key is set to a note lower than C -2, it will produce a sound one octave higher. If the highest key is set to a note higher than G8, it will produce a sound one octave lower.

■ How can I return to the recording or song select screen during song recording or playback?

Press the [SONG SELECT] button once.

■ The tempo does not change even though I recorded with tempo changes.

Depending on the timing of tempo changes, the changed tempo may not be recorded. In this case, the recording will be played back at the original tempo.

Make tempo changes when the recording part is selected and a red part indicator is flashing. The same trick applies to editing the tempo after recording.

■ Performance in Dual or Split mode is not recorded.

Part data is lost unexpectedly.

For Dual or Split mode recording, the recording part for the second voice (that is, the voice for the left-hand part) is automatically assigned (page 27). Therefore, if the part already has data, the data will be overwritten during recording. Also, switching to Dual mode or Split mode in the middle of the song is not recorded. Therefore, the notes you played with the second voice (or the notes lower than the Split point) are not recorded.

What type of data is recorded?

Data recorded in the parts:

• N ote data (notes you play)
• Voice selection
• C lavinova pedals and external pedal on/off
• R e v e r b depth [ReverbSend]
• C h o r us depth [ChorusSend]
- DSP effect depth [DSPDepth]
• S ound brightness [Brightness]
• R esonance effect setting [HarmonicContent]
- Equalizer's low-range frequency setting [EQLowFreq.]
- Equalizer's low-range gain setting [EQLowGain]
- Equalizer's high-range frequency setting [EQHighFreq.]
• E qualizer's high-range gain setting [EQHighGain]
- Octave setting of the voice [Octave]
• V volume setting of each voice [Volume]
• L eft/right position of each sound [Pan]
- Fine pitch adjustment between two voices (Dual only) [Detune]
• V volume change in response to playing strength for each voice [TouchSense]

Data recorded globally in all parts:

• Tempo
- Time signature
- Reverb type
- Ch o r us type
- DSP effect type

You can change all data except for note data, Octave setting or Time Signature after recording.

■ How much data can I record?

• C current memory (page 39): About 300KB
• S torage memory (page 39): About 1,513KB

■ The on/off setting of the pedal connected to the AUX PEDAL jack is reversed.

Some types of pedals may turn on and off in opposite fashion. Use the “AuxPedalType” parameter (page 98) in the “FUNCTION” menu to change the external pedal setting.

■ The song title is not correct.

The “CharacterCode” setting may be different than that used when you named the song. Also, if the song was recorded on another instrument, the title might be displayed incorrectly. Use the “CharacterCode” parameter (page 47) in the FILE/SONG SETTING menu to change the setting. However, if the song was recorded on another instrument, changing the “CharacterCode” parameter setting may not resolve the problem.

■ What is the difference between "TouchSense" and "TouchResponse" MIDI data?

“TouchSense” determines the manner and degree to which the volume level changes in response to your touch on the keyboard. The MIDI note-on velocity data is not changed. It changes the volume level at the same velocity data.

“TouchResponse” determines the touch sensitivity of an instrument. The MIDI note-on velocity data is changed when you play the keyboard with a consistent touch.

■ Only "PhraseMark" can be selected via the [FILE/SONG SETTING] button during song playback.

The “PhraseMark” parameter can only be set via the [FILE/SONG SETTING] button during song playback. If you desired to select other parameters, stop the song and try once again.

Troubleshooting

Problem Cause Solution
The power of the Clavinova does not turn on.	The power cable is not plugged in (check at the Clavinova and at the electrical outlet).	Insert the power cable plug firmly into the Clavinova and into the electrical outlet of the correct voltage (page 15).
There is a clicking noise when you press the [POWER] button to turn the power on or off.	This is caused by the electrical power within the instrument.	This is not a malfunction.
Noise is heard from the Clavinova. A portable telephone is being used near the Clavinova (or the ring tone is sounding).		Turn off the power of the portable telephone located near the Clavinova. Noise may be heard if a portable telephone is used near the Clavinova or if the ring tone occurs.
The overall volume is too low. Or, there is no sound at all.	The [MASTER VOLUME] dial is lowered.	Raise the [MASTER VOLUME] dial (page 16).
	The volume level for the keyboard performance is set too low.	Move the [SONG BALANCE] slider toward the keyboard to increase the keyboard volume.
	Headphones are connected (only if the Speaker setting is “Normal HeadphoneSW”) (page 99).	Disconnect the headphone plug.
	Speaker setting is off. Set [Speaker] to “Normal” or “ON” (page 99).
	Local Control is turned off. Set Local Control ON (page 100).
	“Expression” is assigned to the right pedal or the AUX pedal.	Assign any function other than “Expression” to the pedal.
The keyboard volume is lower than the song playback volume.	The volume level for the keyboard performance is set too low.	Move the [SONG BALANCE] slider toward the keyboard to increase the keyboard volume.
Sound is still heard from the speakers even though headphones are plugged in.	Speaker setting is On. Set the speaker setting to “Normal (HeadphoneSW)” (page 99).
The tone quality and/or volume from the speaker or headphones has changed.	Plugs are connected to the AUX OUT jacks.	Disconnect the plugs.
Feedback occurs when you turn iAFC on.	iAFC was not automatically adjusted correctly.	Turn iAFC OFF, and perform the automatic adjustment (page 93).
Damper pedal does not function. The plug of the pedal cable is not inserted into the [PEDAL] jack.		Plug the pedal cable firmly into the [PEDAL] jack. (Refer to “Keyboard Stand Assembly” beginning on page 117.)
The USB storage device is not recognized by the instrument.	The USB storage device may not be recognized by the instrument depending on the timing of the device connection or the setting of the [SELECT] switch.	Disconnect the USB storage device and connect it again and select a device using the [SELECT] switch. To view the data of the USB storage device on the CLP display, press the [SONG SELECT] button to engage song selection mode or press the [FILE/SONG SETTING] button to engage file/song setting mode. If you try to engage these modes before connecting the USB storage device, press the [EXIT] button to exit the mode and re-engage the mode. If the device is still not recognized, it may not be supported by Yamaha. Only use devices supported by Yamaha (page 122).
The USB storage device has hung up (stopped).	The USB storage device is not compatible with the instrument.	Only use devices whose compatibility has been confirmed by Yamaha (page 122).
	The USB storage device does not operate properly.	Disconnect the device and connect it to the instrument again.
The folder name does not change. A maximum of 13 characters from a folder name can be displayed. Therefore, if several folders have the same 13 characters at the start of their names, it will appear that they do not change when the C [-][+] buttons are pressed.		Shorten long folder names on your computer before using them.

  • D isk Format (floppy disk drive is optional)

Sequence Format

The system which records song data is called “sequence format.”

Playback is only possible when the sequence format of the disk matches that of the MIDI device.

The CLP-380 is compatible with the following formats.

■ SMF (Standard MIDI File)

This is the most common sequence format.

• Standard MIDI Files are generally available as one of two types: Format 0 or Format 1.
• M any MIDI devices are compatible with Format 0, and most commercially available software is recorded as Format 0.
• The CLP-380 is compatible with both Format 0 and Format 1.
• Performance data recorded on the CLP-380 is saved in the SMF format 0.

ESEQ

This sequence format is compatible with many of Yamaha's MIDI devices, including the Clavinova series instruments. This is a common format used with various Yamaha software.

Voice Allocation Format

With MIDI, voices are assigned to specific numbers, called “program numbers.” The numbering standard (order of voice allocation) is referred to as the “voice allocation format.”

Voices may not play back as expected unless the voice allocation format of the song data matches that of the compatible MIDI device used for playback.

The CLP-380 is compatible with the following formats.

■ GM System Level 1

This is one of the most common voice allocation formats. Many MIDI devices are compatible with GM System Level 1, as is most commercially available software.

■ GM System Level 2

“GM System Level 2” is a standard specification hat enhances the original “GM System Level 1” and improves song data compatibility. It provides for increased polyphony, greater voice selection, expanded voice parameters, and integrated effect processing.

XG

XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha specifically to provide more voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over voices and effects, and to ensure compatibility of data well into the future.

Song data recorded on the CLP-380 using voices in the XG category is XG-compatible.

■ DOC (Disk Orchestra Collection)

This voice allocation format is compatible with many of Yamaha's MIDI devices, including the Clavinova series instruments.

This is also common format used with various Yamaha software.

GS

GS was developed by the Roland Corporation. In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major enhancement of the GM specifically to provide more voices and drum kits and their variations, as well as greater expressive control over voices and effects.

Even if the devices and data used satisfy all the conditions above, the data may still not be completely compatible, depending on the specifications of the devices and particular data recording methods.

Disk format

It is necessary to first configure the floppy disk to the system of the device being used. This operation is called "formatting."

• T here are two types of floppy disks: MF2DD (double sided, double density) and MF2HD (double sided, high density), and each type has different formatting systems.
• Playback is only possible when the MIDI device to be used is compatible with the format of the disk.

Precautions when using the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal

This instrument features a built-in USB [TO DEVICE] terminal. When connecting a USB device to the terminal, be sure to handle the USB device with care. Follow the important precautions below.

NOTE For more information about the handling of USB devices, refer to the owner's manual of the USB device.

Compatible USB devices

• USB storage devices (flash memory, floppy disk drive, hard disk drive, etc.)
• USB hub
• USB-LAN adaptor

The instrument does not necessarily support all commercially available USB devices. Yamaha cannot guarantee operation of USB devices that you purchase. Before purchasing a USB device for use with this instrument, please visit the following web page: http://music.yamaha.com/download/

NOTE Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or mouse cannot be used.

Connecting USB device

- When connecting a USB device to the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal, make sure that the connector on the device is appropriate and that it is connected in the proper direction.

CAUTION

When connecting a USB device to the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal on the top panel, remove it before closing the key cover. If the key cover is closed with the USB device connected, the USB device may be damaged.

- I f you intend to connect two or three devices at the same time to a terminal, you should use a USB hub device. The USB hub must be self-powered (with its own power source) and the power must be on. Only one USB hub can be used. If an error message appears while using the USB hub, disconnect the hub from the instrument, then turn on the power of the instrument and re-connect the USB hub.

- T hough the instrument supports the USB 1.1 standard, you can connect and use a USB 2.0 storage device with the instrument. However, note that the transfer speed is that of USB 1.1.

Using USB Storage Devices

By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device, you can save data you've created to the connected device, as well as read data from the connected device.

NOTE Although CD-R/RW drives can be used to read data to the instrument, they cannot be used for saving data.

This instrument has two USB [TO DEVICE] terminals; one on the left of the panel and one on the terminal at the front.

USB [TO DEVICE] terminal A Select the desired terminal A B SELECT USB TO DEVICE USB [TO DEVICE] terminal B

Both are the same terminal; however, both cannot be used at the same time. Use the [SELECT] switch to select the desired terminal. Switching to "A" selects the terminal on the left of the panel, while switching to "B" selects the terminal panel at the front.

CAUTION

While the USB storage device is connected to the instrument, do NOT use the [SELECT] switch.

CAUTION

While the instrument is accessing data (such as in the Save, Copy and Delete operations), do NOT use the [SELECT] switch. Doing so may corrupt the media or data.

NOTE If you connect USB storage devices to both USB [TO DEVICE] terminals, the devices may not operate properly.

The number of USB storage device to be used

Up to two USB storage devices can be connected to the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal. (If necessary, use a USB hub. The number of USB storage devices that can be used simultaneously with musical instruments even when a USB hub is used is a maximum of two.) This instrument can recognize up to four drives in one USB storage device.

Formatting USB storage media

When a USB storage device is connected or media is inserted, a message may appear prompting you to format the device/media. If so, execute the Format operation (page 46).

CAUTION

The format operation overwrites any previously existing data. Make sure that the media you are formatting does not contain important data. Proceed with caution, especially when connecting multiple USB storage media.

To protect your data (write-protect)

To prevent important data from being inadvertently erased, apply the write-protect provided with each storage device or media. If you are saving data to the USB storage device, make sure to disable write-protect.

Connecting/removing USB storage device

Before removing the media from the device, make sure that the instrument is not accessing data (such as in the Save, Copy and Delete operations).

CAUTION

Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB storage device, or connecting/disconnecting the device too often. Doing so may result in the operation of the instrument "freezing" or hanging up. While the instrument is accessing data (such as during Save, Copy, Delete, Load and Format operations) or is mounting the USB storage device (shortly after the connection), do NOT unplug the USB connector, do NOT remove the media from the device, and do NOT turn the power off to either device. Doing so may corrupt the data on either or both devices.

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks (Optional)

An optional floppy disk drive can be installed to this instrument. For instructions on installing the floppy disk drive, see page 125.

The floppy disk drive lets you save original data you've created on the instrument to floppy disk, and allows you to load data from floppy disk to the instrument. Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with care. Follow the important precautions below.

Floppy Disk Compatibility

3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used.

Formatting a Floppy Disk

If you find that you are unable to use new, blank disks or old disks that have been used with other devices, you may need to format them. For details on how to format a disk, see page 46. Keep in mind that all data on the disk will be lost after formatting. Make sure to check beforehand whether or not the disk contains important data.

NOTE Floppy disks formatted on this device may or may not be useable as is on other devices.

Inserting/Removing Floppy Disks

Inserting a Floppy Disk into the Disk Drive:

Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing upward and the sliding shutter is facing forward, towards the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly pushing it all the way in until it clicks into place and the eject button pops out.

NOTE Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy disks.

Removing a Floppy Disk

After checking that the instrument is not accessing* the floppy disk (checking that the use lamp on the floppy disk drive is off), firmly press the eject button at the upper right of the disk slot all the way in. When the floppy disk is ejected, pull it out of the drive. If the floppy disk cannot be removed because it is stuck, do not try to force it, but instead try pressing the eject button again, or try re-inserting the disk and attempt to eject it again.

* A ccess of the disk indicates an active operation, such as recording, playback, or deletion of data. If a floppy disk is inserted while the power is on, the disk is automatically accessed, since the instrument checks whether the disk has data.

CAUTION

Do not remove the floppy disk or turn off the instrument itself while the disk is being accessed. Doing so may result not only in loss of data on the disk but also damage to the floppy disk drive.

Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive before turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt that can cause data-read and -write errors.

Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head

Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument employs a precision magnetic read/write head which, after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of magnetic particles from the disks used that will eventually cause read and write errors.

To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order Yamaha recommends that you use a commercially-available dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the availability of proper head cleaning disks.

About Floppy Disks

Handle floppy disks with care, and follow these precautions:

• Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep floppy disks in their protective cases when they are not in use.
• Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids.
• D o not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed surface of the floppy disk inside.
• Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since magnetic fields can partially or completely erase data on the disk, rendering it unreadable.
• N ever use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or housing.
• Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a floppy disk. Also make sure that labels are attached in the proper location.

To Protect Your Data (Write-protect Tab):

To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the disk's write-protect tab to the “protect” position (tab open). When saving data, make sure that the disk’s write-protect tab is set to the “overwrite” position (tab closed).
