IMPORTANT —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.
For information on assembling the keyboard stand, refer to the instructions at the end of this manual.

PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply/Power cord
- Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
- Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.
- Use only the supplied power cord/plug.
- Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.
Do not open
- Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Water warning
- Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings.
- Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Fire warning
- Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
If you notice any abnormality
- If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply/Power cord
- When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.
- Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
- Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.
Assembly
- Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly process. Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might result in damage to the instrument or even injury.
Location
- Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components.
- Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise.
- Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
- Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.
- When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.
Connections
- Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.
Maintenance
- 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 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.
- If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten them periodically using the included tool.

The Clavinova is the next best thing to a real piano. It features an exceptional natural piano touch and expressive response-thanks to the remarkable Graded Hammer keyboard.

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks
(The floppy disk drive is optional. For instructions on installing the floppy disk drive, see page 212.)
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 69. 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.
* Access 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 headcleaning 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.
- Do 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.
- Never 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).

This instrument features a built-in [USB TO DEVICE] terminal. By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device with a standard USB cable, you can save data you've created to the connected device, as well as read data from the connected device. Be sure to handle USB storage device with care. Follow the important precautions below.
NOTE For more information about the handling of USB storage device, refer to the owner's manual of the USB storage device.
Compatible USB storage devices
- Up to two USB storage devices, such as a floppy disk drive, hard disk drive, CD-ROM drive, flash memory reader/writer, etc., 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 with musical instruments simultaneously 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. Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or mouse cannot be used.
- The instrument does not necessarily support all commercially available USB storage devices. Yamaha cannot guarantee operation of USB storage devices that you purchase. Before purchasing USB storage devices, please consult your Yamaha dealer, or an authorized Yamaha distributor (see list at end of the Owner's Manual) for advice, or visit the following web page: http://music.yamaha.com/homekeyboard
NOTE Although CD-R/RW drives can be used to read data to the instrument, they cannot be used for saving data.
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.
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 medias.
Using USB Storage Devices
- When connecting a USB storage device to the [USB TO DEVICE], make sure that the connector on the device is appropriate and that it is connected in the proper direction. 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
- A void frequently turning the power on/off to the USB storage device, or connecting/disconnecting the cable too often. Doing so may result in the operation of the instrument "freezing" or hanging up. While the instrument is accessing data (such as in the Save, Copy and Delete operations), do NOT unplug the USB cable, 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.
- When connecting a USB storage device to the [USB TO DEVICE] on the top panel, remove it before closing the key cover. If the key cover is closed with the USB storage device connected, the USB storage device may be damaged.
- T hough there are two [USB TO DEVICE] terminals on the CVP-405 (and one on the CVP-403/401), if you are connecting two or three devices at the same time (such as two USB storage devices and a LAN adaptor), 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.
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.

USBHere you'll learn how to record your performance as audio data to a USB storage device. For example, by connecting a guitar, microphone or other device to the instrument, you can record an ensemble performance of guitar and keyboard together or record yourself singing along with Song playback. The performance data is saved as a WAV file of conventional CD quality (44.1 kHz/16 bit). Since it is possible to play back the file on computer, a listener doesn't need to have the particular instrument in order to hear the performance. This makes it possible to easily share your performances and recordings with your friends via e-mail, record your own CDs, or upload the recordings to websites for many others to enjoy as well.
Recording methods on the instrument include MIDI recording as well as audio recording. For details about the difference between audio and MIDI recording, see page 192. For specific instructions on MIDI recording, refer to page 196.
NOTE In order to record your own original CD, you'll need a CD-R drive (or compatible device). Refer to the manual that came with your specific computer for details.
- When you attach a recorded file in an e-mail message, make sure the file size is small enough to be sent.
The following sounds can be recorded.
- Internal tone generator of the instrument.
Keyboard parts (Right 1, Right 2, Left), Song parts, Style parts - Input from a microphone, guitar or other instrument (via the [MIC./LINE IN] jack).
- Input from another audio device, such as a CD player, MP3 player or the like (via the [MIC./LINE IN] jack).
D NOTE Songs protected by copyright, such as preset songs, and the metronome sound cannot be recorded.
The recorded data using this function is saved as:
- Stereo WAV data
• 44.1 kHz sample rate/16 bit resolution
Recording Your Performance as Audio
Now, try recording a performance of your singing along with Song playback with a connected microphone. The maximum amount of recording time is 80 minutes, though this may differ depending on the capacity of the particular USB storage device.
1 Set the desired Voice, etc. which you want to use for your performance, and connect a microphone. (For information on setting the Voice, see page 28; for connecting a microphone, see page 54.)
Here, you'll also see by example how to sing along with accompaniment/Style playback. To set the Style, go on to step 6 (page 46).
2 Connect the USB storage device to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal.
• To record your performance by USB Audio Recorder, use the compatible USB flash memory. When the USB flash memory is not compatible, it is not likely to be able to record/playback normally.
- Before using a USB storage device, be sure to read "Handling the USB Storage Device (USB Flash Memory/Floppy Disk, etc)" on page 22.
3 Press the [USB] button.

Voice Characteristics
The Voice type and its defining characteristics are indicated above the Preset Voice name.
| Natural! | These rich and luscious Voices are comprised mostly of keyboard instrument sounds and are especially intended for playing piano and other keyboard parts. They also take full advantage of Yamaha's advanced sampling technology such as Stereo Sampling, Dynamic Sampling (CVP-405/403), Sustain Sampling (CVP-405/403), and Key-off Sampling (CVP-405/403). |
| S. Articulation! (CVP-405) | The Super Articulation voices sound remarkably authentic and natural, featuring the unique performance characteristics of each instrument—for example, guitar scratching sounds or the legato phrasing of wind instruments. They provide many of the same benefits as the MegaVoices (see below), but with greater playability and expressive control in real time. To effectively play these natural sounds in performance of certain voices, you may need to use the pedal or footswitch. For details on how to best play each voice, call up the Information window (pressing the |7▲| button in the Voice Selection display). |
| Mega Voice (CVP-405/403) | The Mega Voices are not intended to be played from the keyboard. They are primarily designed for use with recorded MIDI sequence data (such as songs and styles). Some of the guitar and bass Voices in particular have been created as Mega Voices.What makes Mega Voices special is their use of velocity switching. Normal Voices use velocity switching, too—to make the sound quality and/or level of a Voice according to how strongly or softly you play it. This makes the instrument's Voices sound authentic and natural. However, with Mega Voices, each velocity range (the measure of your playing strength) has a completely different sound. For example, a Mega guitar Voice includes the sounds of various performance techniques. In conventional instruments, different Voices having those sounds would be called up via MIDI and played in combination to achieve the desired effect. However, now with Mega Voices, a convincing guitar part can be played with just a single Voice, using specific velocity values to play the desired sounds. Because of the complex nature of these Voices and the precise velocities need to play the sounds, they're not intended for playing from the keyboard. They are, however, very useful and convenient when creating MIDI data—especially when you want to avoid using several different Voices just for a single instrument part. |
| Live! These acoustic instrument sounds were sampled in stereo, to produce a truly authentic, rich sound—full of atmosphere and ambience. | |
| Cool! These Voices capture the dynamic textures and subtle nuances of electric instruments—thanks to a huge amount of memory and some very sophisticated programming. | |
| Sweet! These acoustic instrument sounds also benefit from Yamaha's sophisticated technology—and feature a sound so finely detailed and natural, you'll swear you're playing the real thing! | |
| Drums Various drum and percussion sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard. | |
| SFX | Various special effect sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard. |
| Organ Flutes! | This authentic organ Voice lets you use the Sound Creator to adjust the various footages and craft your own original organ sounds. See page 100 for details. |
Mega Voices Compatibility
Mega Voices are unique to the Clavinova and are not compatible with other models. Any song, style data you've created on the Clavinova using the Mega Voices will not sound properly when played back on other instruments.
Playing Different Voices Simultaneously
The instrument keyboard features various functions and performance conveniences that are simply unavailable on an acoustic instrument. It allows you to play several different Voices together in a layer, or play one Voice with your left hand while you play a different Voice (or even two layered Voices!) with your right.
Keyboard Parts (Right 1, Right 2, Left)
Voices can be assigned independently to each keyboard part: Right 1, Right 2, and Left. You can combine these parts by using the PART ON/OFF buttons to create a rich, ensemble sound.
Keyboard Part Combinations
■ Playing a single Voice (Right 1 part)
You can play a single Voice over the entire keyboard range. This is used for normal performance—for example, with the piano Voice.
Make sure the PART ON/OFF [DUAL (RIGHT2)]/[SPLIT (LEFT)] buttons are turned off.

Preset Scale Types
| EQUAL TEMPERAMENT | The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with each half-step evenly spaced in pitch. This is the most commonly used tuning in music today. |
| PURE MAJOR PURE MINOR | These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale, especially for triad chords (root, third, fifth). You can hear this best in actual vocal harmonies – such as choirs and a cappella singing. |
| PYTHAGOREAN | This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and is created from a series of perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this tuning are slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some leads. |
| MEAN-TONE | This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by making the major third interval more “in tune.” It was especially popular from the 16th century to the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale. |
| WERCKMEISTER KIRNBERGER | This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger systems, which were themselves improvements on the mean-tone and Pythagorean scales. The main feature of this scale is that each key has its own unique character. The scale was used extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven, and even now it is often used when performing period music on the harpsichord. |
| ARABIC Use these tunings when playing Arabic music. | |

Effect Parameters
| LEFT HOLD | This function causes the LEFT part Voice to be held even when the keys are released. Non-decaying voices such as strings are held continuously, while decay-type voices such as piano decay more slowly (as if the sustain pedal has been pressed). |
| HARMONY/ ECHO | The Harmony/Echo types are applied to the right-hand Voices (page 86). |
| MONO/POLY | This determines whether the part's Voice is played monophonically (only one note at a time) or polyphonically. Using the MONO mode lets you play single, lead sounds (such as brass instruments) more realistically. It also lets you expressively control the Portamento effect (depending on the selected Voice) by playing legato. |
| DSP/DSP VARIATION | With the digital effects built into the instrument, you can add ambience and depth to your music in a variety of ways—such as adding reverb that makes you sound like you are playing in a concert hall.T he DSP switch is used to turn the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) effect on or off for the currently selected keyboard part.The DSP Variation switch is used to change between variations of the DSP effect. You could use this while you play, for example, to change the rotating speed (slow/fast) of the rotary speaker effect. |
You can use a pedal to turn the Harmony/Echo effects on and off (page 187).
Portamento:
Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the keyboard to the next. The portamento time (the pitch transition time) can be set via the MIXING CONSOLE display (page 89).
DSP:
Stands for Digital Signal Processor (or Processing). DSP changes and enhances the audio signal in the digital realm to produce a wide range of effects.
Canceling the chord sound for the harmony effect
This cancels the sound of the chord played in the chord range of the keyboard—letting you hear only the Harmony effect. Set [ACMP ON/OFF] to On, set [SYNC START] to Off, and select "Off" for the Stop Accompaniment parameter.
Selecting the Harmony/Echo type
You can select the desired Harmony/Echo effect from a variety of types. In order to make the type you've selected here effective, set HARMONY/ECHO to On in the display shown in step 4 above.
1 Call up the operation display by pressing the [J] (TYPE SELECT) button.
2 Use the [1 ▲▼]–[3▲▼] buttons to select the Harmony/Echo type (page 86).
3 Use the [4 ▲▼]–[8▲▼] buttons to select various Harmony/Echo settings (page 87).
The available settings differ depending on the Harmony/Echo type.
Harmony/Echo Types
The Harmony/Echo types are divided into the following groups, depending on the particular effect applied.
Harmony Types
These types apply the harmony effect to notes played in the right-hand section of the keyboard according to the chord specified in the left-hand section of the keyboard. (Note that the "1+5" and "Octave" settings are not affected by the chord.)
Multi Assign Type
This type applies a special effect to chords played in the right-hand section of the keyboard.

These types apply echo effects to notes played in the right-hand section of the keyboard in time with the currently set tempo.
● Harmony Types
When one of the Harmony Types is selected, the Harmony effect is applied to notes played in the right-hand section of the keyboard according to the type selected above and the chord specified in the chord section of the keyboard shown below.

text_image
ACMP ON/OFF PART ON/OFF ○ DUAL (RIGHT) ● SPLIT (LEFT) Left Voice and chord section for Harmony effect Right 1 Right 2 Voices● Multi Assign Type
Multi Assign effect automatically assigns notes played simultaneously in the right-hand section of the keyboard to separate parts (Voices). Both of the keyboard part [RIGHT 1] and [RIGHT 2] should be turned on when using the Multi Assign effect. The Right 1 and Right 2 Voices are alternately assigned to the notes in the order you play.
- Echo Types
When one of the Echo Types is selected, the corresponding effect (echo, tremolo, trill) is applied to the note played in the right-hand section of the keyboard in time with the currently set tempo, regardless of the [ACMP ON/OFF] and the LEFT part on/off status. Keep in mind that Trill works when you hold down two notes on the keyboard simultaneously (last two notes if more than two notes are held), and it plays those notes alternately.
Harmony/Echo Settings
| VOLUME | This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi Assign.” It determines the level of the harmony/echo notes generated by the Harmony/Echo effect. |
| SPEED This parameter is only available when Echo, Tremolo, or Trill is selected in Type above. It determines the speed of the Echo, Tremolo, and Trill effects. | |
| ASSIGN | This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi Assign.” This lets you determine the keyboard part via which the harmony/echo notes will be sounded. |
| CHORD NOTE ONLY | This parameter is available when one of the Harmony Types is selected. When this is set to “ON,” the Harmony effect is applied only to the note (played in the right-hand section of the keyboard) that belongs to a chord played in the chord section of the keyboard. |
| TOUCH LIMIT | This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi Assign.” It determines the lowest velocity value at which the harmony note will sound. This allows you to selectively apply the harmony by your playing strength, letting you create harmony accents in the melody. The harmony effect is applied when you play the key strongly (above the set value). |
Editing the Volume and Tonal Balance (MIXING CONSOLE)
The Mixing Console gives you intuitive control over aspects of the keyboard parts and Song/Style channels, including volume balance and the timbre of the sounds. It lets you adjust the levels and stereo position (pan) of each Voice to set the optimum balance and stereo image, and lets you set how the effects are applied.

EQ (Equalizer)
Equalizer (also called "EQ") is a sound processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple bands that can be boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall frequency response. Usually an equalizer is used to correct the sound from speakers to match the special character of the room. For example, you can cut some of the low range frequencies when playing in large spaces where the sound is too "boomy," or boost the high frequencies in rooms and close spaces where the sound is relatively "dead" and free of echoes. The instrument possesses a high-grade five-band digital EQ. With this function, a final effect—tone control can be added to the output of your instrument. You can select one of the five preset EQ settings in the EQ display. You can even create your own custom EQ settings by adjusting the frequency bands, and save the settings to one of two User Master EQ types.

SOUND
FILTER
Filter is a processor that changes the timbre or tone of a sound by either blocking or passing a specific frequency range. The parameters below determine the overall timbre of the sound by boosting or cutting a certain frequency range. In addition to making the sound either brighter or mellower, Filter can be used to produce electronic, synthesizer-like effects.
| BRIGHTNESS Determines the cutoff frequency or effective frequency range of the filter (see diagram). Higher values result in a brighter sound. | |
![]() | |
| HARMONIC CONTENT | Determines the emphasis given to the cutoff frequency (resonance), set in BRIGHTNESS above (see diagram). Higher values result in a more pronounced effect.Volume![]() |
EG
The EG (Envelope Generator) settings determine how the level of the sound changes in time. This lets you reproduce many sound characteristics of natural acoustic instruments—such as the quick attack and decay of percussion sounds, or the long release of a sustained piano tone.
| ATTACK | Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum level after the key is played. The lower the value, the quicker the attack. |
| DECAY Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain level (a slightly lower level than maximum). The lower the value, the quicker the decay. | |
| RELEASE Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after the key is released. The lower the value, the quicker the decay. | |

| DEPTH Determines the intensity of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings result in a more pronounced Vibrato. |
| SPEED Determines the speed of the Vibrato effect. |
| DELAY Determines the amount of time that elapses between the playing of a key and the start of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings increase the delay of the Vibrato onset. |

If you select VARIATION ON here, a variation of the DSP effect is assigned to the Voice. The variation parameter value can be adjusted in the VALUE menu explained below.PARAMETERDisplays the variation parameter.VALUEAdjusts the value of the DSP variation parameter. |
- EQ
| EQ LOW/HIGH These determine the Frequency and Gain of the Low and High EQ bands. |
HARMONY
Harmony sets the Right 1 and 2 parts together. Select the Right 1 part (page 32, step 1) in the Main display, before you set it.
This has the same settings as the display of "Selecting the Harmony/Echo type" on page 86 in step 1.
Creating Your Original Organ Flutes Voices
The instrument features a variety of lush, dynamic organ Voices that you can call up with the [ORGAN FLUTES] button. It also gives you the tools to create your own original organ sounds by using the Sound Creator function. Just as on a traditional organ, you can create your own sounds by adjusting the levels of the flute footages.
Basic Procedure
1 Select the desired Organ Flutes Voice to be edited (page 32).

Editable Parameters in the SOUND CREATOR [ORGAN FLUTES] displays
The following covers in detail the editable parameters that are set in the displays explained in step 3 of the "Basic Procedure" on page 100. The Organ Flutes parameters are organized into three different pages. The parameters in each page are described separately, below. These are also treated as part of the Voice Set parameters (page 102), which are automatically called up when the Voice is selected.
FOOTAGE, VOLUME/ATTACK (common parameters)
| ORGAN TYPE Specifies the type of organ tone generation to be simulated: Sine or Vintage. | |
| ROTARY SP SPEED Alternately switches between the slow and fast rotary speaker speeds when a rotary speaker effect is selected for the Organ Flutes (see “EFFECT/EQ” DSP TYPE parameter on page 100), and the Voice Effect DSP (page 100) is turned on (this parameter has the same effect as the Voice Effect VARIATION ON/OFF parameter). | |
| VIBRATO ON/OFF Alternately turns the vibrato effect for the Organ Flutes Voice ON or OFF. | |
| VIBRATO DEPTH Sets the Vibrato depth to one of three levels: 1 (low), 2 (mid), or 3 (high). |

CAUTION
If you select another Voice without saving the settings, the settings will be lost. If you wish to store the settings here, make sure to save the settings as a User Voice before selecting another Voice or turning the power off.
Footage:
The term "footage" is a reference to the sound generation of traditional pipe organs, in which the sound is produced by pipes of different lengths (in feet).
FOOTAGE
| 16'←→5 1/3' | Which footage (16' or 5 1/3') is operated with the [1▲▼] button can be switched by pressing the [D] button. |
| 16'-1' | Determines the basic sound of the organ flutes. The longer the pipe, the lower the pitch of the sound. Hence, the 16' setting determines the lowest pitched component of the Voice, while the 1' setting determines the highest pitched component. The higher the value of the setting, the greater the volume of the corresponding footage. Mixing various volumes of the footages lets you create your own distinctive organ sounds. |
VOLUME/ATTACK
| VOL Adjusts the overall volume of the Organ Flutes. The longer the graphic bar, the greater the volume. | |
| RESP Affects both the attack and release (page 99) portion of the sound, increasing or decreasing the response time of the initial swell and release, based on the FOOTAGE controls. The higher the value, the slower the swell and release. | |
| VIBRATO SPEED Determines the speed of the vibrato effect controlled by the Vibrato On/Off and Vibrato Depth above. | |
| MODE The MODE control selects between two modes: FIRST and EACH.In the FIRST mode, attack is applied only to the first notes played and held simultaneously; while the first notes are held, any subsequently played notes have no attack applied. In the EACH mode, attack is applied equally to all notes. | |
| 4', 2 2/3', 2' | These determine the attack sound volume of the ORGAN FLUTE Voice. The 4', 2-2/3' and 2' controls increase or reduce the volume of attack sound at the corresponding footages. The longer the graphic bar, the greater the attack sound volume. |
| LENG Affects the attack portion of the sound producing a longer or shorter decay immediately after the initial attack. The longer the graphic bar, the longer the decay. | |
EFFECT/EQ
Same parameters as in the SOUND CREATOR "EFFECT/EQ" tab display explained on page 99.
Disabling automatic selection of Voice Sets (effects, etc.)
Each Voice is linked to its related parameter settings that are indicated in the SOUND CREATOR displays, including effects and EQ. Usually these settings are automatically called up when a Voice is selected. However, you can also disable this feature by the operation in the relevant display as explained below.
For example, if you want to change the Voice yet keep the same Harmony effect, set the HARMONY/ECHO parameter to OFF (in the display explained below).
You can set these independently by keyboard part and parameter group.
1 Call up the operation display.

Style Characteristics
The Style type and its defining characteristics are indicated above the Preset Style name.
| Pro | These Styles provide professional and exciting arrangements combined with perfect playability. The resulting accompaniment exactly follows the chords of the player. As a result, your chord changes and colorful harmonies are instantly transformed into lifelike musical accompaniment. |
| Session These Styles | provide even greater realism and authentic backing by mixing in original chord types and changes, as well as special riffs with chord changes, with the Main sections. These have been programmed to add “spice” and a professional touch to your performances of certain songs and in certain genres. Keep in mind, however, that the Styles may not necessarily be appropriate—or even harmonically correct—for all songs and for all chord playing. In some cases for example, playing a simple major triad for a country song may result in a “jazzy” seventh chord, or playing an on-bass chord may result in inappropriate or unexpected accompaniment. |
| Pianist These special | Styles provide piano-only accompaniment. Just by playing the proper chords with your left hand, you can automatically add complicated, professional-sounding arpeggios and bass/chord patterns. |
Selecting a Chord Fingering Type
Style playback can be controlled by the chords you play in the chord section of the keyboard. There are seven types of fingerings.

| MULTI FINGER | Automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered chord fingerings, so youcan use either type of fingering without having to switch fingering types. | |
| FINGERED | Lets you finger your own chords on the Chord section of the keyboard,while the instrument supplies appropriately orchestrated rhythm, bass,and chord accompaniment in the selected Style. The Fingered type rec-ognizes the various chord types which are listed on the separate Data Listbooklet and can be looked up using the Chord Tutor function (page 49). | |
| FINGERED ONBASS | Accepts the same fingerings as the Fingered, but the lowest note playedin the Chord section of the keyboard is used as the bass note, allowingyou to play “on bass” chords (in the Fingered mode the root of thechord is always used as the bass note). | |
| FULL KEYBOARD | ects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a waysimilar to Fingered, even if you split the notes between your left andright hands-for example, playing a bass note with your left hand and achord with your right, or by playing a chord with your left hand and amelody note with your right. | |
| AI FINGERED Basically | the same as Fingered, with the exception that less than threenotes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previouslyplayed chord, etc.). | |
| AI FULL KEYBOARD | When this advanced fingering type is engaged, the instrument will auto-matically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just aboutanything, anywhere on the keyboard using both hands. You don’t haveto worry about specifying the Style chords. Although the AI Full Key-board type is designed to work with many songs, some arrangementsmay not be suitable for use with this feature. This type is similar to FullKeyboard, with the exception that less than three notes can be played toindicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). 9th,11th and 13th chords cannot be played. This type is available only forStyle playback. | |

Starting the rhythm with Sync Start
You can also start the rhythm simply by playing the keyboard, if Sync Start is enabled (turn on the [SYNC START] button).
The rhythm does not sound for the Pianist Styles (or other similar Styles). When you want to use any of these Styles, always make sure that ACMP ON/OFF is turned on.
Playing Only the Rhythm Channels of a Style
Rhythm is one of the most important parts of a Style. Try to play the melody along with just the rhythm. You can sound different rhythms for each Style. Keep in mind, however, that not all Styles contain rhythm channels.
1 Select a Style (page 45).
2 Press the [ACMP ON/OFF] to turn Auto Accompaniment off.
3 Press the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button to play back the rhythm channels.
4 Press the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button to stop the rhythm.
Turning channels of the Style on/off
A Style contains eight channels: RHY1 (Rhythm 1) – PHR2 (Phrase 2). You can add variations and change the feeling of a Style by selectively turning channels on/off as the Style plays.
1 Press the [CHANNEL ON/OFF] button to call up the CHANNEL ON/OFF display.
When the STYLE tab is not selected, press the [CHANNEL ON/OFF] button again.

2 Press the [1 ▼]–[8 ▼] buttons to turn the channels on or off.
To listen to only one instrument by itself, hold down the appropriate button for the channel to set the channel to SOLO. To cancel SOLO, simply press the appropriate channel button again.
Playing the chords in free tempo (without Style playback)
You can have the accompaniment chords sound without playing back the Style, by setting [ACMP ON/OFF] to on, and [SYNC START] to off. For example, if MULTI FINGER is selected (page 104), you can perform with your own pace while sounding the chord by pressing the chord section of the keyboard with your one finger.
Setting the fade in/out time
You can set the time of the fade in and fade out (page 133).
1 Call up the operation display.

Please note that both the Voice that is sounded and the chord data will be recorded when set to "STYLE," and only the chord data will be recorded when set to "OFF" or "FIXED."
- Stop Accompaniment
When [ACMP ON/OFF] is turned on and [SYNC START] is off, you can play chords in the chord section of the keyboard with the Style stopped, and still hear the accompaniment chord. In this condition—called "Stop Accompaniment"—any valid chord fingerings are recognized and the chord root/type are shown in the display. From the display in page 106, you can determine whether the chord played in the chord section will sound or not in the Stop Accompaniment status.
OFF......The chord played in the chord section will not sound.
STYLE......The chord played in the chord section will sound via the Voices of the selected Style.
FIXED ....The chord played in the chord section will sound via the specified Voice, regardless of the selected Style.
- OTS Link Timing
This applies to the OTS Link function (page 51). This parameter determines the timing in which the One Touch Settings change with the MAIN VARIATION [A]–[D] change. (The [OTS LINK] button must be on.)
Real Time....One Touch Setting is immediately called up when you press a MAIN VARIATION button.
Next Bar ......One Touch Setting is called up at the next measure, after you press a MAIN VARIATION button.
- Synchro Stop Window
This determines how long you can hold a chord before the Synchro Stop function is automatically cancelled. When the [SYNC STOP] button is turned on and this is set to a value other than "OFF," this automatically cancels the Synchro Stop function if you hold a chord for longer than the time set here. This conveniently resets Style playback control to normal, letting you release the keys and still have the Style play. In other words, if you release the keys sooner than the time set here, the Synchro Stop function works.
- Style Touch
Turns touch response for the Style playback on/off. When this is set to "ON," the Style volume changes in response to your playing strength in the chord section of the keyboard.
• Style Change Behavior
There are three types as shown below.
Section Set
Determines the default section that is automatically called up when selecting different Styles (when Style playback is stopped). When set to "OFF" and Style playback is stopped, the active section is maintained even if the different Style is selected.
When any of the MAIN A-D sections is not included in the Style data, the nearest section is automatically selected. For example, when MAIN D is not contained in the selected Style, MAIN C will be called up.
Tempo
This determines whether the tempo changes or not when you change Styles during Style playback.
HOLD ......The tempo setting of the previous Style is maintained.
RESET......The tempo changes to that of the initial default tempo for the selected Style.
Part On/Off
This determines whether the Style Channel On/Off status changes or not when you change Styles during Style playback.
HOLD ......The Style Channel On/Off status of the previous Style is maintained.
RESET......All Style Channels are set to On.
Split Point Settings
These are the settings (there are two Split Points) that separate the different sections of the keyboard: the Chord section, the LEFT part section and the RIGHT 1 and 2 section. The two Split Point settings (below) are specified as note names.

Style Creator
You can create your own Styles—recording them by yourself or by combining the internal Style data. The created Styles can be edited.
Style Structure
Styles are made up of fifteen different sections and each section has eight separate channels. With the Style Creator feature, you can create a Style by separately recording the channels, or by importing pattern data from other existing Styles.

Style Section Four different Fill-ins are available. AUTO FILL IN INTRO MAIN VARIATION BREAK ENDING/IS Channel RHY1 RHY2 BASS CHD1 CHD2 PAD PHR1 PHR2 OK REC OK OK OK OFF OFFThe available contents of the service described at left are subject to change.
Creating a Style
You can use one of the three different methods described below to create a Style. The created Styles can also be edited (page 119).
■ Realtime Recording ▶ See page 114
This method lets you record the Style by simply playing the instrument. You can select an internal Style that most closely matches your image of the Style you want to create and then re-record parts of the Style as desired, or you can create a new Style from scratch.
■ Step Recording ▶ See page 117
This method is like writing music notation on paper, since it allows you to enter each note or individually, and specify its length. This allows you to create a Style without having to play the parts on the instrument, since you can enter each event manually.
■ Style Assembly ▶ See page 118
This convenient feature lets you create composite Styles by combining various patterns from the internal preset Styles. For example, if you want to create your own original 8-beat Style, you could take rhythm patterns from the "70's 8Beat" Style, use the bass pattern from "60's Rock1" Style and import the chord patterns from the "Cool8Beat" Style—combining the various elements to create one Style.

Realtime Recording (BASIC)
Create a single Style by recording the individual channels one-by-one, using realtime recording.
Realtime Recording Characteristics
- Loop Recording
Style playback repeats the rhythm patterns of several measures in a "loop," and Style recording is also done using loops. For example, if you start recording with a two-measure main section, the two measures are repeatedly recorded. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition (loop), letting you record while hearing previously recorded material.
• Overdub Recording
This method records new material to a channel already containing recorded data, without deleting the original data. In Style recording, the recorded data is not deleted, except when using functions such as Rhythm Clear (page 116) and Delete (page 116). For example, if you start recording with a two-measure MAIN section, the two measures are repeated many times. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition, letting you overdub new material to the loop while hearing previously recorded material.
When creating a Style based on an existing internal Style, overdub recording is applied only to the rhythm channels. For all other channels (except rhythm), delete the original data before recording.
When using realtime recording based on the internal Styles:
Overdub recording possible.

14 Call up the display for selecting sections, etc. by pressing the [EXIT] button.
15 Press the [I] (SAVE) button to call up the Style Selection display to save your data.
Save the data in the Style Selection display (page 70).
Rules when recording non-rhythm channels
- Use only the CM7 scale tones when recording the BASS and PHRASE channels (i.e., C, D, E, G, A, and B).
- Use only the chord tones when recording the CHORD and PAD channels (i.e., C, E, G, and B).

C = Chord notes
C, R = Recommended notes
Using the data recorded here, the auto accompaniment (Style playback) is appropriately converted depending on the chord changes you make during your performance. The chord which forms the basis for this note conversion is called the Source Chord, and is set by default to CM7 (as in the example illustration above). You can change the Source Chord (its root and type) from the PARAMETER display on page 123. Keep in mind that when you change the Source Chord from the default CM7 to another chord, the chord notes and recommended notes will also change. For details on chord notes and recommended notes, see page 124.

DEL. Bar : BEAT : CLK BASIC ASSEMBLY GODOVE CHANNEL PARAMETER EDIT 4/4 1920PPQIn the EDIT display, you can record notes with absolutely precise timing. This Step Recording procedure is essentially the same as that for Song Recording (page 117), with the exception of the points listed below:
- In the Song Creator, the End Mark position can be changed freely; in the Style Creator, it cannot be changed. This is because the length of the Style is automatically fixed, depending on the selected section. For example, if you create a Style based on a section of four measures length, the End Mark position is automatically set to the end of the fourth measure, and cannot be changed in the Step Recording display.
Any desired chord or chord progression can be used for the INTRO and ENDING sections.
Changing the Source Chord
If you want to record the pattern with a Source Chord other than CM7, set the PLAY ROOT and PLAY CHORD parameters on the PARAMETER page (page 123) before recording.
You cannot select the SECTION INTRO 4/ENDING 4 directly via the panel operation.
CAUTION
The recorded Style will be lost if you change to another Style or you turn the power off without executing the Save operation (page 70).
- Recording channels can be changed in the Song Creator 1–16 tab display; however, they cannot be changed in the Style Creator. Select the recording channel in the BASIC tab display.
- In the Style Creator, the channel data can be entered and System Exclusive data can be edited (delete, copy, or move). You can switch between the two by pressing the [F] button. However, Chord, Lyrics, and System Exclusive data cannot be entered.
Style Assembly (ASSEMBLY)
Style Assembly allows you to create a single Style by mixing the various patterns (channels) from existing internal Styles.
1 Select the basic Style, then call up the display for Style Assembly.
The operation steps are the same as steps 1–4 in "Realtime recording" (page 115). In step 4, select the ASSEMBLY tab.
2 Select the desired section (Intro, Main, Ending, etc.) for your new Style.
Call up the SECTION display by pressing one of the Section buttons ([INTRO]/[MAIN]/[ENDING], etc.) on the panel. Change the section as desired by using the [6▲▼]/[7▲▼] buttons and execute the operation by pressing the [8▲] (OK) button.

GROOVE
This lets you add swing to the music or change the "feel" of the beat by making subtle shifts in the timing (clock) of the Style. The Groove settings are applied to all channels of the selected Style.
| ORIGINAL BEAT Specifies the beats to which Groove timing is to be applied. In other words, if “8 Beat” is selected, Groove timing is applied to the 8th notes; if “12 Beat” is selected, Groove timing is applied to 8th-note triplets. |
| BEAT CONVERTER Actually changes the timing of the beats (specified in the ORIGINAL BEAT parameter above) to the selected value. For example, when ORIGINAL BEAT is set to “8 Beat” and BEAT CONVERTER is set to “12,” all 8th notes in the section are shifted to 8th-note triplet timing. The “16A” and “16B” Beat Converter which appear when ORIGINAL BEAT is set to “12 Beat” are variations on a basic 16th-note setting. |
| SWING Produces a “swing” feel by shifting the timing of the back beats, depending on the ORIGINAL BEAT parameter above. For example, if the specified ORIGINAL BEAT value is “8 Beat,” the Swing parameter will selectively delay the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th beats of each measure to create a swing feel. The settings “A” through “E” produce different degrees of swing, with “A” being the most subtle and “E” being the most pronounced. |
| FINE Selects a variety of Groove “templates” to be applied to the selected section. The “PUSH” settings cause certain beats to be played early, while “HEAVY” settings delay the timing of certain beats. The numbered settings (2, 3, 4, 5) determine which beats are to be affected. All beats up to the specified beat—but not including the first beat—will be played early or delayed (for example, the 2nd and 3rd beats, if “3” is selected). In all cases, “A” types produce minimum effect, “B” types produce medium effect, and “C” types produce maximum effect. |
DYNAMICS
This changes the velocity/volume (or accent) of certain notes in the Style playback. The Dynamics settings are applied to each channel or all channels of the selected Style.
| CHANNEL Selects the desired channel (part) to which Dynamics is to be applied. |
| ACCENT TYPE Determines the type of accent applied—in other words, which notes in the part(s) are emphasized with the Dynamics settings. |
| STRENGTH Determines how strongly the selected Accent Type (above) will be applied. The higher the value, the stronger the effect. |
| EXPAND/COMP. Expands or compresses the range of velocity values. Values higher than 100% expand the dynamic range, while values lower than 100% compress it. |
| BOOST/CUT Boosts or cuts all velocity values in the selected section/channel. Values above 100% boost the overall velocity, while values below 100% reduce it. |

The chart shown at left indicates the process by which the Style is played back. (This does not apply to the rhythm track.) These parameters can be set via the Style Creator feature.
- Source Pattern
There are a variety of possibilities for Style playback notes, depending on the particular root note and chord type that are selected. The Style data is appropriately converted depending on the chord changes you make during your performance. This basic Style data that you create with the Style Creator is referred to as the "Source Pattern."
• Note Transposition
This parameter group features two parameters that determine how the notes of the Source Pattern are to be converted in response to chord changes.
- Other Settings
Using the parameters of this group, you can fine-tune how Style playback responds to the chords you play. For example, the Note Limit parameter allows you to have the Voices of the Style sound as realistic as possible by shifting the pitch to an authentic range—ensuring that no notes sound outside the natural range of the actual instrument (e.g., very low notes of a piccolo sound).
The explanation here applies when you select the PARAMETER tab in step 4 of "Basic Operation for Editing Styles" (page 119).
1 Press the [A]/[B] button to select the edit menu (page 124).

CAUTION
The edited Style will be lost if you change to another Style or you turn the power off without executing the Save operation.
Auditioning Your Style with a Specific Chord
Normally in the Style Creator, you can hear your original Style-in-process with the Source Pattern. However, there is a way to hear it played by a specific chord and root. To do this, set NTR to "Root Fixed," NTT to "Bypass," and NTT BASS to "OFF" then change the newly displayed "Play Root" and "Play Chord" parameters to the desired settings.
2 Use the [1 ▲▼]/[2▲▼] (CHANNEL) buttons to select the channel to be edited.
The selected channel is shown at the upper left of the display.
3 Use the [3 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] buttons to edit the data.
For details on editable parameters, see below.
4 Press the [I] (SAVE) button to call up the Style Selection display to save your data.
Save the data in the Style Selection display (page 70).
■ SOURCE ROOT/CHORD
These settings determine the original key of the source pattern (i.e., the key used when recording the pattern). The default setting of CM7 (with a Source Root of "C" and a Source Type of "M7"), is automatically selected whenever the preset data is deleted prior to recording a new Style, regardless of the Source Root and Chord included in the preset data. When you change Source Root/Chord from the default CM7 to another chord, the chord notes and recommended notes will also change, depending on the newly selected chord type.
When the Source Root is C:

C = Chord notes C, R = Recommended notes
■ NTR (Note Transposition Rule)
This determines the relative position of the root note in the chord, when converted from the Source Pattern in response to chord changes.
| ROOT TRANS(Root Transpose) | When the root note is transposed, the pitch relationship between notes is maintained. For example, the notes C3, E3 and G3 in the key of C become F3, A3 and C4 when they are transposed to F. Use this setting for channels that contain melody lines. | _When playing a C major chord. | When playing an F major chord. |
| ROOT FIXED The note | is kept as close as possible to the previous note range. For example, the notes C3, E3 and G3 in the key of C become C3, F3 and A3 when they are transposed to F. Use this setting for channels that contain chord parts. | _When playing a C major chord. | When playing an F major chord. |
When playing a C major chord. When playing an F major chord.
When playing a C major chord. When playing an F major chord.
■ NTT (Note Transposition Table)
This sets the note transposition table for the source pattern.
| BYPASS When NTR is | set to ROOT FIXED, the transposition table used does not do any note conversion. When NTR is set to ROOT TRANS, the table used only converts the root note. |
| MELODY Suitable for | melody line transposition. Use this for melody channels such as Phrase 1 and Phrase 2. |
| CHORD | Suitable for chord transposition. Use this for the Chord 1 and Chord 2 channels, especially when they contain piano or guitar-like chordal parts. |
| MELODIC MINOR | When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third interval in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third interval is raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for melody channels of Sections which respond only to major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings. |
| MELODIC MINOR 5th | In addition to the Melodic Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source Pattern. |
| HARMONIC MINOR | When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third and sixth intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third and flatted sixth intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond only to major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings. |
| HARMONIC MINOR 5th | In addition to the Harmonic Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern. |
| NATURAL MINOR | When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third, sixth and seventh intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third, flatted sixth and flatted seventh intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond only to a Major/minor chord such as Intros and Endings. |
| NATURAL MINOR 5th | In addition to the Natural Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern. |
| DORIAN When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third and seventh intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third and flatted seventh intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond only to a Major/minor chord such as Intros and Endings. | |
| DORIAN 5th In addition to the Dorian transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern. | |
■ NTT BASS ON/OFF
The channels for which this is set to ON will be played back by the bass root note, when the on-bass chord is recognized by the instrument.
HIGH KEY
This sets the highest key (upper octave limit) of the note transposition for the chord root change. Any notes calculated to be higher than the highest key are transposed down to the next lowest octave. This setting is available only when the NTR parameter (page 124) is set to "Root Trans."
Example—When the highest key is F.

text_image
Root changes → CM C#M ... FM F#M ... Notes played → C3-E3-G3 C#3-F3-G#3 F3-A3-C4 F#2-A#2-C#3NOTE LIMIT
This sets the note range (highest and lowest notes) for voices recorded to the style channels. By judicious setting of this range, you can ensure that the voices sound as realistic as possible—in other words, that no notes outside the natural range are sounded (e.g., high bass sounds or low piccolo sounds). The actual notes that sound are automatically shifted to the set range.
Example—When the lowest note is C3 and the highest is D4.

text_image
Root changes → CM C#M ... FM ... Notes played → E3-G3-C4 F3-G#3-C#4 F3-A3-C4 High Limit Low Limit■ RTR (Retrigger Rule)
These settings determine whether notes stop sounding or not and how they change pitch in response to chord changes.
| STOP The notes stop sounding. | |
| PITCH SHIFT The pitch of the note will bend without a new attack to match the type of the new chord. | |
| PITCH SHIFT TO ROOT | The pitch of the note will bend without a new attack to match the root of the new chord. |
| RETRIGGER | The note is retriggered with a new attack at a new pitch corresponding to the next chord. |
| RETRIGGER TO ROOT | The note is retriggered with a new attack at the root note of the next chord. However, the octave of the new note remains the same. |
The Registration Memory function allows you to save (or "register") virtually all panel settings to a Registration Memory button, and then instantly recall your custom panel settings by pressing a single button. The registered settings for eight Registration Memory buttons should be saved as a single Bank (file).

The "NEXT" indication appears at the upper right of the corresponding Song name.
To cancel this setting, press the [8 ▼] (Cancel) button.
■ Using the Auto Accompaniment Features with the Song Playback
When playing back a Song and a Style at the same time, channels 9–16 in the Song data are replaced with style channels—allowing you to play the accompaniment parts of the Song yourself. Try playing chords along with the Song playback as shown in the instructions below. When playing back a Song and a Style at the same time, we recommend that you use the Preset Songs in the "Sing-a-long" folder.
1 Select a Song (page 35).
2 Select a Style (page 45).
3 Press the STYLE CONTROL [ACMP ON/OFF] button to turn on the Auto Accompaniment function.
4 Press the STYLE CONTROL [SYNC START] button to enable standby—letting you simultaneously start the accompaniment as soon as you start playing.

6 Play chords along with the Song.
The chord name is indicated in the Main display. To return to the Main display, press the [DIRECT ACCESS] button, then press the [EXIT] button.
When the Song playback is stopped, the style playback is also stopped at the same time.
- Tempo for playing back a Song and a style at the same time
When playing back a Song and a Style at the same time, the tempo value set in the Song is automatically used.
Playing Songs with the Quick Start function
With the default settings, the Quick Start function is turned on. On some commercially available Song data, certain settings related to the Song (such as voice selection, volume, etc.) are recorded to the first measure, before the actual note data. When Quick Start is set to "ON," the instrument reads all initial non-note data of the Song at the highest possible speed, then automatically slows down to the appropriate tempo at the first note. This allows you to start playback as quickly as possible, with a minimum pause for reading of data. When Quick Start is set to "ON," a Song is played back directly from the first note (which may be in the middle of a measure). If you want to play from the beginning of the measure that has silence prior to the first note, turn Quick Start "OFF."
1 Call up the operation display.
[FUNCTION] → [B] SONG SETTING
2 Press the [7 ▼] (QUICK START) button to turn the Quick Start "OFF."
Parameter Lock
You can "lock" specific parameters (e.g., effect, split point, etc.) to make them selectable only via the panel controls (page 128).
If the Song data does not contain this data, the current chord name will not be displayed in the Main display during Song playback.
About the [SONG CH 1–8]/[SONG CH 9–16] displays A Song consists of 16 separate channels. Separate settings can be made for each of the 16 channels in the MIXING CONSOLE display. Adjust the parameters in the SONG CH 1–8 or SONG CH 9–16 display respectively.

Recording Your Performance
You can record your own performances and save them to the User tab display or a USB storage device. Several different recording methods are available:
Quick Recording which lets you record performance conveniently and quickly, Multi track Recording which lets you record several different parts to multiple channels, and Step Recording which lets you enter notes one by one. You can also edit the Songs you've recorded.
For details on MIDI Recording, see page 192.
For details on USB Audio Recording (CVP-405/403), see page 60.
Recording Methods
There are three methods as shown below.
| Realtime Recording | Quick Recording ➤ page 140 | This convenient and simple recording method lets you quickly record your performance—useful, for example, in recording solo piano pieces. You can record to the [TRACK 1 (R)] or [TRACK 2 (L)] button, and also to the [EXTRA TRACKS (STYLE)] track, which can be used for recording at the same time. |
| Multi track Recording ➤ page 141 | This lets you record a whole Song including several different instrument parts, to create the sound of a full band or orchestra. Record the performance of each instrument part one by one and create fully orchestrated compositions. You can also record over already-recorded parts of an existing Song (Preset Song or a Song on USB storage device) with your own performance. | |
| Step Recording | Step Recording ➤ page 143 | This method lets you compose your performance by “writing” it down one event at a time. This is a non-realtime, manual recording method – similar to writing music notation onto paper. You can input notes, chords and other events one by one (realtime performance is not needed). |
You can also edit Songs after they've been recorded (page 154).
For example, you can edit specific notes one by one, or you can use the Punch In/Out function to re-record a specific part.
The microphone input signal can not be recorded.
Internal memory (User tab displays) capacity
The internal memory capacity of the instrument is about 1.4MB (CVP-405/403), or about 560KB (CVP-401). This capacity applies to all file types, including Voice, Style, Song, and Registration data files.

Re-Recording a Specific Section—Punch In/Out (REC MODE)
When re-recording a specific section of an already-recorded Song, use the Punch IN/OUT function. In this method, only the data between the Punch In point and the Punch Out point is overwritten with the newly recorded data. Keep in mind that the notes before and after the Punch In/Out points are not recorded over, although you will hear them play back normally to guide you in the Punch In/Out timing. You can specify the Punch In and Punch Out points as measure numbers beforehand for automatic operation, or manually execute the Punch In/Out recording by using a Foot Pedal or simply by playing the keyboard.
The explanations here apply to the REC MODE display in step 4 of the "Basic Editing Operation" on page 154.
1 Use the [1 ▲▼]–[6▲▼] buttons to determine the settings for re-recording (see below).
2 While holding the SONG [REC] button, press the desired track button.

3 Press the SONG [PLAY/PAUSE] button to start playback. Play the keyboard at the Punch In point and stop recording at the Punch Out point.
4 Press the [I] (SAVE) button to call up the Song Selection display for saving your data, then save the data in the Song Selection display (page 70).

When this is set to ON, you can use the sostenuto pedal to control the punch-in and punch-out points. While a Song is playing back, pressing (and holding) the sostenuto pedal instantly enables Punch In recording, while releasing the pedal stops recording (Punch Out). You can press and release the sostenuto pedal as often as you want during playback, to punch in/out of overwrite recording. Note that the current function assignment of the sostenuto pedal is cancelled when the Pedal Punch In/Out function is set to ON.
Editing Channel Events (CHANNEL)
The explanations here apply to the CHANNEL tab display in the step 4 of the Basic Editing Operation on page 154.
1 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the Edit menu (page 157).
2 Use the [1 ▲▼]–[8▲▼] buttons to edit the data.
For information on the available parameters, see page 157.
3 Press the [D] (EXECUTE) button to execute the operation for the current display.
After the operation (with the exception of the SETUP menu display) is completed, this button changes to "UNDO," letting you restore the original data if you are not satisfied with the Operation results. The Undo function only has one level; only the immediate operation can be undone.
4 Press the [I] (SAVE) button to call up the Song Selection display for saving your data, then save the data in the Song Selection display (page 70).
■ QUANTIZE menu
The Quantize function allows you to align the timing of all the notes in a channel. For example, if you record the musical phrase shown at right, you may not play it with absolute precision, and your performance may have been slightly ahead of or behind the precise timing. Quantize is a convenient way of correcting for this.

CHANNEL Determines the channel in the Song to be quantized.
SIZE Selects the quantize size (resolution). For optimum results, you should set the Quantize size to the shortest note value in the channel. For example, if eighth notes are the shortest in the channel, you should use eighth note as the Quantize size.

text_image
Musical notation showing a sequence of eighth notes with a downward arrow indicating a reduction or transformation.After eighth note quantization
Settings









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 channel, if you quantize by the straight eighth notes, all notes in the channel 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.
STRENGTH Determines 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.

| VIBRATO DELAY Specifies the length of the delay before the vibrato effect begins when a note is produced. Higher values result in a longer delay. | |
| HARMONY1/2/3 VOLUME | Sets the volume of the first (lowest), second, and third (highest) harmony notes. |
| HARMONY1/2/3 PAN Specifies the stereo (pan) position of the first (lowest), second, and third (highest) harmony notes.RandomThe stereo position of the sound will change randomly whenever the keyboard is played. This is effective when the Harmony mode (page 169) is set to “VOCODER” or “CHORDAL.”L63>R – C – LA setting of L63>R pans the sound hard left, while C is at center, and LA is at hard right. | |
| HARMONY1/2/3 DETUNE | Detunes the first (lowest), second, and third (highest) harmony notes by the specified number of cents. |
| PITCH TO NOTE When this is set to “ON,” you can “play” the voices of the instrument with your voice. (The instrument tracks the pitch of your voice and converts it to note data for the tone generator. Keep in mind, however, that dynamic changes in your voice do not affect the volume of the tone generator.) | |
| PITCH TO NOTE PART Determines which of the instrument parts will be controlled by the lead vocal when the Pitch to Note parameter is “ON.” | |

Adjustable Items (Parameters) in the OVERALL SETTING Tab Display
■ 3BAND EQ
EQ (Equalizer) is a processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple bands, which can be boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall frequency response. The instrument features a high-grade three-band (LOW, MID and HIGH) digital equalizer function for the microphone sound.
• Hz
Adjusts the center frequency of the corresponding band.
• dB
Boosts or cuts the level of the corresponding band by up to 12 dB.
NOISE GATE
This effect mutes the input signal when the input from the microphone falls below a specified level. This effectively cuts off extraneous noise, allowing the desired signal (vocal, etc.) to pass.
- SW (Switch)
This turns the Noise Gate on or off.
• TH. (Threshold)
This adjusts the input level at which the gate begins to open.
CAUTION
Settings in the OVERALL SETTING tab display are automatically saved to the instrument when you exit from the display. However, if you turn the power off without exiting from this display, the settings will be lost.
COMPRESSOR
This effect holds down the output when the input signal from the microphone exceeds a specified level. This is especially useful for smoothing out vocals that have widely varying dynamics. It effectively “compresses” the signal, making soft parts louder and loud parts softer.
- SW (Switch)
This turns the Compressor on or off.
• TH. (Threshold)
This adjusts the input level at which compression begins to be applied.
• RATIO
This adjusts the compression ratio.
• OUT
This adjusts the final output level.
■ VOCAL HARMONY CONTROL
The following parameters determine how the harmony is controlled.
• VOCODER CONTROL
The Vocal Harmony effect in Vocoder mode (page 169) is controlled by note data—the notes you play on the keyboard and/or the notes of the song data. This parameter lets you determine which notes are used to control the harmony.
| SONG CHANNEL MUTE/PLAYWhen set to “MUTE,” the channel selected below (to control Harmony) is muted (turned off) during song playback.OFF/Channels 1–16When set to “OFF,” song data control over harmony is turned off. When set to one of the values 1–16, note data (played from a song on the instrument or an external MIDI sequencer) contained on the corresponding channel is used to control the harmony. This setting is linked to the HARMONY CH setting in the SONG SETTING display (page 137). | |
| KEYBOARD OFF | Keyboard control over harmony is turned off.UPPERNotes played to the right of the split point control the harmony.LOWERNotes played to the left of the split point control the harmony. |
• BAL.
This lets you set the balance between the lead vocal (your own voice) and Vocal Harmony. Raising this value increases the volume of the Vocal Harmony and decreases that of the lead vocal.
When this is set to L
- MODE
All of the Vocal Harmony types fall into one of three modes, which produce harmony in different ways. The harmony effect is dependent on the selected Vocal Harmony mode, and this parameter determines how the harmony is applied to your voice. The three modes are described below.
| AUTO When the [ACMP ON/OFF] or [LEFT] is set to ON and if chord data exists in the song, the mode is automatically set to CHORDAL. In all other cases, the mode is set to VOCODER. |
| VOCODER The harmony notes are determined by the notes you play on the keyboard and/or song data. You can specify whether the Vocoder effect is controlled by your keyboard performance or by the Song data (page 168). |
| CHORDAL The harmony notes are determined by the following three types of chord: chords played in the chord section of the keyboard (with the [ACMP] turned on), chords played in the LEFT Voice section of the keyboard (with the [ACMP] turned off and the [LEFT] turned on), and chords contained in song data for controlling the harmony. (Not available if the song does not contain any chord data.) |
- CHORD
The following parameters determine which data in a recorded song is used for chord detection.
| OFF Chords are not detected from the song data. |
| XF Chords of XF format are used for the Vocal Harmony. |
| 1-16 Chords are detected from note data in the specified song channel. |
- Vocal Range
Set this to obtain the most natural vocal harmony, depending on your voice.
| Normal Normal setting | |
| Low Setting for lower | voice. This setting is also appropriate for growl-ing and shouting. |
| High Setting for higher | voice. This setting is also appropriate for sing-ing close to the microphone. |
MIC
The following parameters determine how the microphone sound is controlled.
• MUTE
When set to ON, the microphone sound is turned off.
• VOLUME
Adjusts the output volume of the microphone sound.
Talk Setting
This function lets you have special settings for making announcements between songs, separate from the settings for your singing performance.

Glossary of Internet Terms
| 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. |
| DNS | A system that translates names of computers connected to a network to their corresponding IP addresses. |
| 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. |
| Gateway | A system which links different networks or systems, and makes possible data transfer and conversion despite differing communications standards. |
| 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. |
| NTP | Short for Network Time Protocol, a standard for setting the internal system clock of the computer over a network. For this instrument, the internal clock of the computer is used to specify the valid time/date for cookies and SSL. |
| 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. |
| Site | Short for "website," this refers to the group of web pages that are opened together. For example, the collection of web pages whose addresses begin with "http://www.yamaha.com/" is referred to as the Yamaha site. |
| SSID | This is an identification name for specifying a particular network over a wireless LAN connection. Communi-cation is possible only between terminals with matching SSID names. |
| SSL | Short for Secure Sockets Layer, a standard for transmitting confidential data such as credit card numbers over the Internet. |

Using External Audio Devices for play-back and Recording (③ [AUX OUT] Jacks)
You can connect these jacks to a stereo system to amplify the instrument's sound or to a cassette tape recorder or a digital audio device for recording your performance. The microphone or guitar sound connected to the instrument's [MIC./LINE IN] jack) is output at the same time. Refer to the diagrams below and use audio cables for connection. These jacks are located on the underside jacks panel of the instrument.
CAUTION
When the instrument's sound is output to an external device, first turn on the power to the instrument, then to the external device. Reverse this order when you turn the power off.
Do not route the output from the [AUX OUT] jacks to the [AUX IN] jacks. If you make this connection, the signal input at the [AUX IN] jacks is output from the [AUX OUT] jacks. These connections could result in a feedback loop that will make normal performance impossible, and may even damage both pieces of equipment.
[AUX OUT] Jacks
(Standard phone jacks of [L/L+R] and [R])
When these are connected, you can use the instrument's [MASTER VOLUME] control to adjust the volume of the sound output to the external device.
Connect the instrument's AUX OUT [L/L+R]/[R] jacks and the input jacks of a pair of powered speakers using appropriate audio cables. Use only the [L/L+R] jack for connection with a monaural device.

Set the polarity of the pedal
Pedal on/off operation may differ depending on the particular pedal you've connected to the instrument. For example, pressing down on one pedal may turn the selected function on, while pressing a different make/brand of pedal may turn the function off. If necessary, use this setting to reverse the control. Press the || (AUX PEDAL POLARITY) button to switch the polarity.
Details on the pedal functions are listed here. For functions indicated with “*”, use only the foot controller; proper operation cannot be done with a footswitch.
Assignable Pedal Functions
| VOLUME* | Allows you to use a foot controller to control the volume. This function is available only for the pedal connected to the instrument's AUX PEDAL jack. |
| SUSTAIN | Allows you to use a pedal to control the sustain. When you press and hold the pedal, all notes played on the keyboard have a longer sustain. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. |
| SOSTENUTO | Allows you to use the pedal as a sostenuto pedal. In other words, if you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held. However, all subsequent notes will not sustain. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played staccato. |
| SOFT Allows you to use a pedal to control | the Soft effect. Pressing this pedal reduces the volume and changes the timbre of the notes you play. This is effective only for certain appropriate Voices. |
| GLIDE When the pedal is pressed, the pitch changes, and then returns to normal pitch when the pedal is released. | |
| PORTAMENTO | The portamento effect (a smooth slide between notes) can be produced while the pedal is pressed. Portamento is produced when notes are played legato style (i.e., a note is played while the preceding note is still held). Portamento Time can also be adjusted from the Mixing Console (page 89). This function does not affect certain Natural Voices, which would not sound appropriately with this function. |
| PITCH BEND* Allows you to bend the pitch of notes up or down by using the pedal. | |
| MOD/S.ART1* (CVP-405) MODULATION (CVP-403/401) | Applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. Moreover, various effects can be added to the S. Articulation Voice (CVP-405) (page 79). The effect becomes deeper when pressing down the foot controller. You can turn this function on/off for each keyboard part on this display. |
| MOD/S.ART2 (ALT) (CVP-405) | As a variation on MOD/S.ART1, the effects (waveform) can be switched on/off by the pedal/footswitch. The effects (waveform) is alternately turned on and off each time the pedal/footswitch is pressed. You can turn this function on/off for each keyboard part on this display. |
| S.ART SW (CVP-405) | When you use a S. Articulation voice that has an effect assigned to the pedal/footswitch, you can enable the effect by pressing the pedal/footswitch. You can turn this function on/off for each keyboard part on this display. |

What is MIDI?
Put simply, MIDI is a data transfer standard that allows easy and comprehensive control among electronic/digital music instruments and other devices. To get a better idea of what MIDI does, let's first consider acoustic instruments, such as a grand piano and a classical guitar. With the piano, you strike a key, and a hammer inside hits some strings and plays a note. With the guitar, you directly pluck a string and the note sounds. But how does a digital instrument go about playing a note?

Based on playing information from the keyboard, a sampling note stored in the tone generator is played through the speakers.
As shown in the illustration above, in an electronic instrument the sampling note (previously recorded note) stored in the tone generator section (electronic circuit) is played based on information received from the keyboard.
Now, let's examine what happens when we playback a recording. When you play back a music CD (for example, a solo piano recording), you're hearing the actual sound (vibration in air) of the acoustic instrument. This

When you play back that CD on your audio system, you can hear the actual piano performance. The piano itself is not necessary, since the recording contains the actual sounds of the piano, and your speakers reproduce them.

NOTE
In the case of digital instruments, the audio signals are sent through output jacks (such as [AUX OUT]) on the instrument.
The "controller" and "tone generator" in the illustration above are equivalent to the piano in our acoustic example. Here, the player's performance on the keyboard is captured as MIDI song data (see illustration below). In order to record the audio performance on an acoustic piano, special recording equipment is needed. However, since the instrument features a built-in sequencer that lets you record performance data, this recording equipment is unnecessary. Instead, your digital instrument—the Clavinova—allows you to both record and play back the data.

flowchart
graph TD
A["Tone generator"] --> B["Sequencer"]
B --> C["Keyboard performance (MIDI data)"]
However, we also need a sound source to produce the audio, which eventually comes from your speakers. The tone generator of the instrument fills this function. The recorded performance is reproduced by the sequencer, playing back the song data, using a tone generator capable of accurately producing various instrument sounds—including that of a piano. Looked at in another way, the relation of the sequencer and the tone generator is similar to that of the pianist and the piano—one plays the other. Since digital instruments handle playback data and the actual sounds independently, we can hear our piano performance played by another instrument, such as guitar or violin.
NOTE
Even though it is a single musical instrument, the instrument can be thought of as containing several electronic components: a controller, a tone generator, and a sequencer.
Finally, we'll take a look at the actual data that gets recorded and that serves as the basis for playing the sounds. For example, let's say you play a "C" quarter note using the grand piano sound on the instrument's keyboard. Unlike an acoustic instrument that puts out a resonated note, the electronic instrument puts out information from the keyboard such as "with what voice," "with which key," "about how strong," "when was it pressed" and "when was it released." Then each piece of information is changed into a number value and sent to the tone generator. Using these numbers as a basis for sound generation, the tone generator plays the stored sampled note.
Example Keyboard Data
| Voice number (with what voice) 01 | (grand piano) |
| Note number (with which key) 60 | (C3) |
| Note on (when was it pressed) andnote off (when was it released) | Timing expressed numerically (quarter note) |
| Velocity (strength at which it was played) | 120 (strong) |
Panel operations on the instrument, such as playing the keyboard and selecting voices, are processed and stored as MIDI data. The auto accompaniment Styles and Songs also consist of MIDI data.
MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which allows electronic musical instruments to communicate with each other, by sending and receiving compatible Note, Control Change, Program Change and various other types of MIDI data, or messages.
The instrument can control a MIDI device by transmitting note related data and various types of controller data. The instrument can be controlled by incoming MIDI messages which automatically determine the tone generator mode, select MIDI channels, voices and effects, change parameter values and of course play the voices specified for the various parts.
NOTE
MIDI data has the following advantages over audio data:
• The amount of data is much less.
- The data can be effectively and easily edited, even to the point of changing voices and transforming the data.
MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: Channel messages and System messages.
Channel Messages
The instrument is an electronic instrument that can handle 16 MIDI channels (or reception of 32 channels for MIDI data reception when using the [USB] terminal). This is usually expressed as "it can play 16 instruments at the same time." Channel messages transmit information such as Note ON/OFF, Program Change, for each of the 16 channels.
| Message Name Operation/Panel Setting | |
| Note ON/OFF Messages which are generated when the keyboard is played. Each message includes a specific note number which corresponds to the key which is pressed, plus a velocity value based on how hard the key is played. | |
| Program Change For selecting Voices (with control change bank select MSB/LSB settings) | |
| Control Change Volume, panpot (Mixing Console), etc. |
NOTE
The performance data of all Songs and Styles is handled as MIDI data.
MIDI Channels
MIDI performance data is assigned to one of sixteen MIDI channels. Using these channels, 1–16, the performance data for sixteen different instrument parts can be simultaneously sent over one MIDI cable.
Think of the MIDI channels as TV channels. Each TV station transmits its broadcasts over a specific channel. Your home TV set receives many different programs simultaneously from several TV stations and you select the appropriate channel to watch the desired program.

MIDI operates on the same basic principle. The transmitting instrument sends MIDI data on a specific MIDI channel (MIDI Transmit Channel) via a single MIDI cable to the receiving instrument. If the receiving instrument's MIDI channel (MIDI Receive Channel) matches the Transmit Channel, the receiving instrument will sound according to the data sent by the transmitting instrument.

The instrument's keyboard and internal tone generator are also connected by MIDI. → LOCAL CONTROL (page 198)
For example, several parts or channels can be transmitted simultaneously, including the Style data (as shown below).
Example: Recording a performance with the auto accompaniment (Style playback) sound of the instrument to an external sequencer

end
As you can see, it is essential to determine which data is to be sent over which MIDI channel when transmitting MIDI data (page 198).
The instrument also allows you to determine how the received data is played back (page 199).
System Messages
This is data that is used in common by the entire MIDI system. These include System Exclusive messages for transferring data unique to each instrument manufacturer and Realtime messages for controlling the MIDI device.
| Message Name Operation/Panel Setting | |
| System Exclusive Message | Effect type settings (Mixing Console), etc. |
| Realtime Messages | Clock setting, Start/stop operation |
The messages transmitted/received by the instrument are shown in the MIDI Data Format and MIDI Implementation Chart in the separate Data List.
What You Can Do With MIDI
- Record your performance data (1–16 channels) using the instrument's auto accompaniment features on an external sequencer (or computer with sequencer software). After recording, edit the data with the sequencer, then play it back on the instrument.

Instrument MIDI receive MIDI IN MIDI OUTMIDI Data Compatibility
This section covers basic information on data compatibility: whether or not other MIDI devices can playback the data recorded by CVP-405/403/401, and whether or not the CVP-405/403/401 can playback commercially available song data or song data created for other instruments or on a computer. Depending on the MIDI device or data characteristics, you may be able to play back the data without any problem, or you may have to perform some special operations before the data can be played back. If you run into problems playing back data, please refer to the information below.
Sequence Formats
Song data is recorded and stored in a variety of different systems, referred to as "sequence formats."
Playback is only possible when the sequence format of the Song data matches that of the MIDI device. The CVP-405/403/401 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. Many MIDI devices are compatible with Format 0, and most commercially available software is recorded as Format 0.
- The CVP-405/403/401 is compatible with both Format 0 and Format 1.
- Song data recorded on the CVP-405/403/401 is automatically saved as 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.
- The CVP-405/403/401 is compatible with ESEQ.
● XF
The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater functionality and open-ended expandability for the future. The instrument is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF file containing lyric data is played. (SMF is the most common format used for MIDI sequence files. The instrument is compatible with SMF Formats 0 and 1, and records "song" data using SMF Format 0.)
Style File
The Style File Format combines all of Yamaha's auto accompaniment know-how into a single unified format.
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 instrument is compatible with the following formats.
NOTE
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.
● 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 that 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 CVP-405/403/401 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.
● 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.
MIDI Settings
In this section, you can make MIDI-related settings for the instrument. The instrument gives you a set of ten pre-programmed templates that let you instantly and easily reconfigure the instrument to match your particular MIDI application or external device. Also, you can edit the pre-programmed templates and save up to ten of your original templates to the USER display. You can then save all these original templates as a single file to USB storage devices, in the MIDI SETUP selection display (called up by pressing [FUNCTION] → [J] UTILITY → TAB [▶] SYSTEM RESET).

Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When Local Control is set to "ON," the keyboard of the instrument controls its own (local) internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard. If you set Local to "OFF," the keyboard and controllers are internally disconnected from the instrument's tone generator section so that no sound is output when you play the keyboard or use the controllers. For example, this allows you to use an external MIDI sequencer to play the instrument's internal voices, and use the instrument keyboard to record notes to the external sequencer and/or play an external tone generator.
■ Clock setting, etc.
● CLOCK
Determines whether the instrument is controlled by its own internal clock or a MIDI clock signal received from an external device. INTERNAL is the normal Clock setting when the instrument is being used alone or as a master keyboard to control external devices. If you are using the instrument with an external sequencer, MIDI computer, or other MIDI device, and you want to synchronize it to that device, set this parameter to the appropriate setting: MIDI, USB 1, or USB 2. In this case, make sure that the external device is connected properly (e.g., to the instrument's MIDI IN terminal), and that it is properly transmitting a MIDI clock signal. When this is set for control by an external device (MIDI, USB 1 or USB 2), the Tempo is indicated as "Ext." in the Main display.
● TRANSMIT CLOCK
Turns MIDI clock (F8) transmission on or off. When set to OFF, no MIDI clock or Start/Stop data is transmitted even if a Song or Style is played back.
● RECEIVE TRANSPOSE
Determines whether or not the instrument's transpose setting (page 58) is applied to the note events received by the instrument via MIDI.
● START/STOP
Determines whether incoming FA (start) and FC (stop) messages affect Song or Style playback.
MESSAGE SW
● SYS/EX.
The "Tx" setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI System Exclusive messages on or off. The "Rx" setting turns MIDI reception and recognition of MIDI System Exclusive messages generated by external equipment on or off.
● CHORD SYS/EX.
The "Tx" setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI chord exclusive data (chord detect, root and type) on or off. The "Rx" setting turns MIDI reception and recognition of MIDI chord exclusive data generated by external equipment on or off.

Operation
Select the channel to be received and the part via which the selected channel will be received. You can also determine the types of data to be received.
● The instrument can receive MIDI messages over 32 channels (16 channels x 2 ports) by USB connection.
● With the exception of the two parts below, the configuration of the parts is the same as those already explained elsewhere in this manual.
- KEYBOARD
The received note messages control the instrument's keyboard performance.
- EXTRA PART 1–5
There are five parts specially reserved for receiving and playing MIDI data. Normally, these parts are not used by the instrument itself. The instrument can be used as a 32-channel multi-timbral tone generator by using these five parts in addition to the general parts (except for the microphone sound).
● Rx MONITOR
The dots corresponding to each channel (1–16) flash briefly whenever any data is received on the channel(s).

Overall
The instrument does not turn on.
- Securely insert the female plug into the socket on the instrument, and the male plug into a proper AC outlet.
A click or pop is heard when the power is turned on or off.
- Electrical current is being applied to the instrument. This is normal.
Noise is heard from the instrument's speakers.
- Noise may be heard if a mobile phone is used near the instrument or if the phone is ringing. Turn off the mobile phone, or use it further away from the instrument.
The letters in the display cannot be read, because the display is too bright (or dark).
- Use the [LCD CONTRAST] knob to adjust for optimum visibility.
- Adjust the brightness of the display (page 19).
The overall volume is too low, or, no sound is heard.
- The master volume may be set too low. Set it to an appropriate level with the [MASTER VOLUME] dial.
- The volume of the individual parts may be set too low. Raise the volume in the BALANCE display (page 40).
- Make sure the desired channel is set to ON (page 105).
- Headphones are connected, disabling the speaker output. (This happens when the speaker setting is set to "HEADPHONE SW"; page 17.) Unplug the headphones.
- Make sure the speaker setting is set to ON (page 17).
- The Fade-In and Fade-Out function is on, muting the sound. To turn it off, press the pedal to which you assigned the Fade In/Out function.
- Make sure the Local Control function is set to ON (page 198).
Not all simultaneously played notes sound.
- You are probably exceeding the maximum polyphony (page 213) of the instrument. When the maximum polyphony is exceeded, the earliest played notes will stop sounding, letting the latest played notes sound.
The keyboard volume is lower than the Song/Style playback volume.
- The volume of the keyboard parts may be set too low. Raise the volume in the BALANCE display (page 40).
Keys do not sound at the proper pitch.
- Make sure the Performance Assistant function is off on the operation display (page 43).
Certain notes sound at the wrong pitch.
The Scale parameter has probably been set to something other than "Equal," changing the tuning system of the keyboard. Make sure "Equal" is selected as the Scale in the Scale Tune display (page 83).
- There is a slight difference in sound quality among different notes played on the keyboard.
- Some Voices have a looping sound.
- Some noise or vibrato is noticeable at higher pitches, depending upon the voice.
- This is normal and is a result of the instrument's sampling system.
Some Voices will jump an octave in pitch when played in the upper or lower registers.
- This is normal. Some voices have a pitch limit which, when reached, causes this type of pitch shift.
The Main display does not appear even when turning the power on.
- This may occur if a USB storage device has been installed to the instrument. Installation of some USB storage device may result in a long interval between turning the power on and appearance of the Main display. To avoid this, turn the power on after disconnecting the device.
Pedals
The damper, sostenuto and soft functions do not work for the relevant pedals.
- The pedal cord plug is not connected. Securely insert the pedal cord plug into the proper jack (page 207).
• Each pedal has been assigned to a different function. Make sure that each pedal is properly assigned to SUSTAIN, SOSTENUTO, and SOFT (page 187). - Make sure the Registration Sequence function is set to OFF (page 131).

The Voice selected from the Voice Selection display does not sound.
- Check whether or not the selected part is turned on (page 80).
- To select the Voice for the right-hand key range, make sure the PART ON/OFF [DUAL (RIGHT2)]/[SPLIT (LEFT)] buttons are off. For the Voice to be layered in the right-hand range, press the PART ON/OFF [DUAL (RIGHT2)] button. To select the Voice for the left-hand key range, press the PART ON/OFF [SPLIT (LEFT)] button.
A strange "flanging" or "doubling" sound occurs. The sound is slightly different each time the keys are played.
- The RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 parts are set to "ON," and both parts are set to play the same Voice. Turn off the RIGHT 2 part or change the Voice of one of the parts.
The sound seems strange or different than expected when changing a rhythm Voice (drum kit, etc.) of the Style or Song from the Mixer.
- When changing the rhythm/percussion Voices (drum kits, etc.) of the Style and Song from the VOICE parameter, the detailed settings related to the drum voice are reset, and in some cases you may be unable to restore the original sound. In the case of Song playback, you can restore the original sound by returning to the beginning of the Song and playing back from that point. In the case of Style play, you can restore the original sound by selecting the same Style again.
Tremolo/Trill cannot be applied to the Organ Flute Voice.
- This is normal; Tremolo and Trill settings in the Harmony/Echo display are not effective for Organ Flute Voices.
The Harmony function does not operate.
- Harmony cannot be used with the AI Fingered or AI Full Keyboard fingering modes. Select an appropriate fingering mode (page 103).
When a Voice is changed, the previously selected effect is changed.
- Each Voice has its own suitable preset settings, which are automatically recalled when the corresponding Voice Set parameters are turned on (page 102).
The Voice produces excessive noise.
- Certain Voices may produce noise, depending on the Harmonic Content and/or Brightness settings in the FILTER page of the Mixing Console display (page 89).
The sound is distorted or noisy.
- The volume may be turned up too high. Make sure all relevant volume settings are appropriate.
- This may be caused by certain effects. Try canceling all unnecessary effects, especially distortion-type effects (page 91).
- Adjust the sound using the [8 ▲ ▼] (TOTAL GAIN ADJ.) buttons from the display shown in step 6 of "Editing and Saving the selected EQ" (page 95), if you are using the Master EQ.
- Some filter resonance settings in the VOICE SET display (page 98) can result in distorted sound. Adjust these settings if necessary.
- Noise may occur depending on the settings made in the Filter display of the Mixing Console. Adjust the Harmonic Content or Brightness controls in the Filter display (page 89).
The sound does not change when replacing Voices with the Song Auto Revoice feature.
- Depending on the particular Song data, there are some instances where Song Auto Revoice has no effect, even when replacing Voices.
The sound of the Voice doesn't change, even when editing the Voice.
- Keep in mind that adjustments made to the parameters may not make much change in the actual sound depending on the original settings of the Voice.
Voices other than those in the Preset display cannot be selected for Step recording.
- This is normal.

- You may be playing keys in the right hand range of the keyboard. Make sure to play keys in the chord range of the keyboard.
Styles cannot be selected.
- If the size of the Style data is large (about 120 KB or greater), the Style cannot be selected because the data is too large to be ready by the instrument.
The desired chord is not recognized or output by the auto accompaniment.
- You may not be playing the correct keys for indicating the chord. Refer to "Chord Types Recognized in the Fingered Mode" of the separate Data List.
- You may be playing the keys according to a different fingering mode, and not the one currently selected. Check the accompaniment mode, and play the keys according to the selected mode (page 104).
Synchro Stop cannot be turned on.
- Synchro Stop cannot be turned on when the fingering mode is set to "Full Keyboard" or "Al Full Keyboard," or when Style On/Off is set to off. Make sure the fingering mode is set to something besides "Full Keyboard" or "Al Full Keyboard" and set Style On/Off to on.
Auto accompaniment chords are recognized regardless of the split point or where chords are played on the keyboard.
- This is normal if the fingering mode is set to "Full Keyboard" or "AI Full Keyboard." If either of these is selected, chords are recognized over the entire range of the keyboard, irrespective of the split point setting. If desired, select a different fingering mode (page 104).
When playing back one Style and selecting another, the newly selected Style doesn't play at the proper Tempo.
- You can select whether the appropriate tempo will be called up automatically or not by using the TEMPO parameter in the STYLE CHANGE BEHAVIOR function.
Starting a Song while playing back a Style stops Style playback.
This is because Song playback has priority. The two ways shown below let you play back a Style and Song simultaneously.
- Set the Song to Synchro Start standby, then start the Style.
- Start the Style playback after playing back a Song.
The level balance of the various Parts becomes wrong or unexpected sounds are output when selecting a Style or a Voice after selecting a Song.
- The level balance of the Parts can change and unexpected sounds can be produced because of the effects applied to each Part.

When using the Freeze function of the Registration Memory, the On/Off setting of the Left Part does not change even when changing the Registration Memory setting.
- The Left Part On/Off setting is included in the Style group. Remove the checkmark from "STYLE" in the Freeze setting display (page 129).
Even though a Registration Memory setting containing a User/USB voice is selected, the File Selection display shows a Preset Voice.
- This is normal; even with the Preset Voice shown, the actual sounding Voice is the selected User/USB Voice. When a User/USB Voice is saved to the User/USB drive, the actual data is divided into two separate types: 1) the source Preset Voice itself, and 2) the parameter settings as set in the Sound Creator. When you recall a Registration Memory setting containing a User/USB Voice, the instrument selects the Preset voice (on which the User/USB Voice is based), then applies the relevant parameter settings to it—so that your original User/USB Voice is sounded.
Song
Songs cannot be selected.
- This may be because the language settings have been changed. Set the appropriate language for the Song file name.
- If the size of the Song data is large (about 300 KB or greater), the Song cannot be selected because the data is too large to be read by the instrument.

When displaying the music score, long notes that have been entered, such as whole notes and ties, are not displayed correctly.
- Long notes, such as whole notes and ties, may not be shown in the music score display exactly as they were entered. Selecting "Tenuto" by pressing the [H] button before inputting each note in the Step Record display (page 145) may solve the problem.
The tempo, beat, measure and music notation is not displayed correctly.
- Some Song data for the instrument has been recorded with special "free tempo" settings. For such Song data, the tempo, beat, measure and music notation will not be displayed correctly.
The note name partially obscures the note in the display.
- When several notes occur close to each other, the note name may obscure the note at left.
The music score of the right-hand/left-hand part is not displayed.
- The appropriate channels have not been assigned to the right-hand and left-hand parts. Set RIGHT and LEFT to the appropriate channels (page 39).
The notation in the display is cut off, with the middle of a measure starting on the next line.
- When all the notes of a measure cannot fit on one line, the remaining notes in the measure are carried over to the next line.

Microphone/Vocal harmony (CVP-405/403)
The microphone input signal cannot be recorded.
- The microphone input signal cannot be recorded by Song/Style recording. Use the USB Audio Recorder function (page 60). Furthermore, you can connect a recorder to the output terminals [AUX OUT] and record the microphone signal.
Harmony can be heard in addition to the microphone sound.
- Vocal Harmony is set to "ON." Turn Vocal Harmony off (page 57).
The Vocal Harmony effect sounds distorted or out-of-tune.
Your vocal microphone may be picking up extraneous sounds, such as the Style sound from the instrument. In particular, bass sounds can cause mistracking of the Vocal Harmony. To remedy this:
- Sing as closely to the microphone as possible.
- Use a directional microphone.
- Turn down the Master volume, Style volume, or Song volume control (page 40).
- Separate the microphone from the external speakers as much as possible.
