OWNER’S MANUAL

For information on assembling the keyboard stand, refer to the instructions at the

end of this manual.

Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the name plate on the bottom panel. In some areas

a voltage selector may be provided on the bottom panel of the main keyboard unit near the power cord. Make sure that the

voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area. The voltage selector is set at 240V when the unit is initially shipped. To change

the setting use a "minus" screwdriver to rotate the selector dial so that the correct voltage appears next to the pointer on the panel.

PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep 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:

• 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 the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or

modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it

should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it

inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet

conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into

any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the

power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have

the instrument inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.

A burning item may fall over and cause a ﬁre.

• 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:

• 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.

• Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly process.

Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might result in

damage to the instrument or even injury.

• Do not 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• During extreme changes in temperature or humidity, condensation may occur

and water may collect on the surface of the instrument. If water is left, the

wooden parts may absorb the water and be damaged. Make sure to wipe any

water off immediately with a soft cloth.

•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.

• 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.

• (CVP-409 including grand piano type) Do not attempt to adjust the bench height

while sitting on the bench, since this can cause excessive force to be imposed

on the adjustment mechanism, possibly resulting in damage to the mechanism

or even injury.

• If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten them

periodically using the included tool.

Saving and backing up your data

• The data of the types listed below are lost when you turn off the power to the

instrument. Save the data to the USER tab display (page 26), USB storage

device (USB ﬂash memory/ﬂoppy disk, etc).

Introduction

Enhanced Realism and Natural Expressiveness

Authentic Acoustic Piano-like Touch

NW (Natural Wood) with Synthetic ivory keytops (CVP-409 including grand

piano type)

This is the ﬁrst Clavinova featuring a keyboard that has the feel of real ivory. The special

Natural Wood keyboard of the CVP-409 uses real-wood white keys. The key surface is

soft and slightly porous, giving the keys added grip and a natural friction that lets you play

easily. The authentic touch and feel of the keys goes far beyond existing electronic key-

boards, it makes you feel as if you’re playing a real grand piano. This specially crafted key-

board lets you use techniques only possible on grand pianos, such as playing the same

note successively and having the sounds blend smoothly even without use of the damper

pedal, or playing the same key quickly and having perfect articulation without the sound

cutting off unnaturally.

NW (Natural Wood) Keyboard (CVP-407)

The special Natural Wood keyboard of the CVP-407 uses real-wood white keys, to repro-

duce as closely as possible the experience of playing an actual acoustic grand piano. The

authentic touch and feel of the keys goes far beyond existing electronic keyboards, realis-

tically recreating the hardness of the keys, the balance between the weight of the key and

hammer, and the characteristic weight gradations of the keys – heavy in the low end, light

in the high register – to make you feel as if you’re playing a real grand piano. Moreover,

this specially crafted keyboard lets you use techniques only possible on grand pianos,

such as playing the same note successively and having the sounds blend smoothly even

without use of the damper pedal, or playing the same key quickly and having perfect

articulation without the sound cutting off unnaturally.

Turn on the iAFC (Instrumental Active Field Control) effect, and hear the sound expand

around you—as if you’re playing on stage in a concert hall. Use the Spatial Effect to rec-

reate and emphasize the natural sounds of true acoustic instruments. The overall sound

is deeper and more resonant, especially when using the damper pedal (Dynamic

Damper Effect).

The Acoustic Ambience of a Grand Piano

—with the iAFC Feature

SPATIAL Effect (greater depth) DYNAMIC DAMPER EffectSPATIAL Effect (less depth)

The Spatial Effect, which recreates the natural sounds of true acoustic instruments, is not

applied to the default setting. For more details about iAFC, see page 82.

Audio Recording

Recording Your Performance as Audio......................................page 60

You can record your performance as audio data to a USB ﬂash memory. Con-

nect a microphone or guitar to the instrument and enjoy recording a guitar

and keyboard performance together, or record your singing along with Song

playback (in karaoke fashion).

Introduction

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 216.)

The ﬂoppy disk drive lets you save original data you’ve cre-

ated 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 68. Keep in mind that all data on the disk

will be lost after formatting. Make sure to check before-

hand whether or not the disk contains important data.

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.

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.

• 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 eventu-

ally cause read and write errors.

•To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order

Yamaha recommends that you use a commercially-avail-

able dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head about

once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the avail-

ability of proper headcleaning disks.

About Floppy Disks

Handle ﬂoppy disks with care, and fol-

low 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 liq-

uids.

• 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 hous-

ing.

• 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).

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.

Introduction

Handling the USB Storage Device (USB Flash Memory/Floppy Disk, etc)

This instrument features a built-in [USB TO DEVICE] termi-

nal. When connecting a USB device to the terminal, be

sure to handle the USB device with care. Follow the

important precautions below.

For more information about the handling of USB devices, refer to

the owner’s manual of the USB device.

Compatible USB devices

• USB storage devices (ﬂash memory, ﬂoppy disk drive,

hard disk drive, etc.)

• USB hub

• USB-LAN adaptor

The instrument does not necessarily support all commer-

cially available USB devices. Yamaha cannot guarantee

operation of USB devices that you purchase. Before pur-

chasing a USB device for use with this instrument,

please visit the following web page:

http://music.yamaha.com/download/

Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or

mouse cannot be used.

Connecting USB device

• When connecting a USB device to the [USB TO

DEVICE] terminal, make sure that the connector on the

device is appropriate and that it is connected in the

proper direction.

• If you intend to connect two or three devices at the same

time to a terminal, you should use a USB hub device.

The USB hub must be self-powered (with its own power

source) and the power must be on. Only one USB hub

can be used. If an error message appears while using the

USB hub, disconnect the hub from the instrument, then

turn on the power of the instrument and re-connect the

USB hub.

•Though the instrument supports the USB 1.1 standard,

you can connect and use a USB 2.0 storage device with

the instrument. However, note that the transfer speed is

that of USB 1.1.

Using USB Storage Devices

By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device, you

can save data you’ve created to the connected device, as

well as read data from the connected device.

Although CD-R/RW drives can be used to read data to

the instrument, they cannot be used for saving data.

The number of USB storage device to be

used

Up to two USB storage devices can be connected to the

[USB TO DEVICE] terminal. (If necessary, use a USB hub.

The number of USB storage devices that can be used

simultaneously with musical instruments even when a USB

hub is used is a maximum of two.) This instrument can rec-

ognize up to four drives in one USB storage device.

Formatting USB storage media

When a USB storage device is connected or media is

inserted, a message may appear prompting you to format

the device/media. If so, execute the Format operation

(page 68).

Protecting your data (write-protect)

To prevent important data from being inadvertently erased,

apply the write-protect provided with each storage device

or media. If you are saving data to the USB storage device,

make sure to disable write-protect.

Connecting/removing USB storage

device

Before removing the media from the device, make sure

that the instrument is not accessing data (such as in the

Save, Copy and Delete operations).

CAUTION

When connecting a USB device to the [USB TO DEVICE]

terminal on the top panel, remove it before closing the

key cover. If the key cover is closed with the USB device

connected, the USB device may be damaged.

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, espe-

cially when connecting multiple USB storage media.

CAUTION

Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB

storage device, or connecting/disconnecting the device

too often. Doing so may result in the operation of the

instrument “freezing” or hanging up. While the instru-

ment is accessing data (such as during Save, Copy, Delete,

Load and Format operations) or is mounting the USB

storage device (shortly after the connection), do NOT

unplug the USB connector, do NOT remove the media

from the device, and do NOT turn the power off to either

device. Doing so may corrupt the data on either or both

devices.

Using the Pedals

The instrument features three pedals.

● Damper Pedal (Right)

The damper pedal performs the same function as the damper pedal on an

actual acoustic piano, letting you sustain the sound of the voices even

after releasing the keys.

• Some Voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after the notes

have been released while the damper pedal is held.

• Certain Voices in the “PERCUSSION & DRUM KIT,” “GM&XG” and “GM2”

groups may not be affected by use of the damper pedal.

● Sostenuto Pedal (Center)

If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal

while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as the pedal is

held. All subsequent notes will not sustain.

• Certain Voices, such as [STRINGS] or [BRASS], sustain continuously when

the sostenuto pedal is pressed.

• Certain Voices in the “PERCUSSION & DRUM KIT”, “GM&XG” and “GM2”

groups may not be affected by use of the sostenuto pedal.

● Left Pedal

When the Piano voice is selected, pressing this pedal reduces the volume

and slightly changes the timbre of the notes you play.

The settings assigned to this pedal may differ depending on the selected Voice.

n The depth of the left pedal effect can be adjusted (page 101).

● Foot Controller/Footswitch

An optional Yamaha foot controller (FC7) or footswitch (FC4 or FC5) can be connected to the AUX PEDAL jack and

used to control various functions assigned (page 191).

Using the Metronome

The metronome provides a click sound, giving you an accurate tempo guide when you practice, or letting you hear and

check how a speciﬁc tempo sounds.

Recording Your Performance as Audio (USB

Audio Recorder)

Here you’ll learn how to record your performance as audio data to a USB ﬂash memory. 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 conven-

tional 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 perfor-

mances 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 differ-

ence between audio and MIDI recording, see page 196. For speciﬁc instructions on MIDI recording, refer to page 200.

•When recording with the USB Audio Recorder function, make sure to use an appropriate USB ﬂash memory device.

• 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).

n Songs protected by copyright, such as preset songs, and the metronome sound cannot be recorded.

Moreover, the effect of iAFC (page 82) is not reﬂected in the recording.

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 maxi-

mum amount of recording time is 80 minutes, though this may differ depending on the capacity of the particular USB

ﬂash memory.

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).

•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.

Mega Voices Compatibility

Mega Voices are unique to the

Clavinova and are not compati-

ble 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 instru-

ments.

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, Sustain Sampling, and Key-off Sampling.

S. Articulation!

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 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 cre-

ated 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 sophisti-

cated 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!

Live!Drums These are high-quality drum sounds taking full advantage of Stereo Sampling

and Dynamic Sampling.

Live!SFX These are high-quality Latin percussion sounds taking full advantage of Stereo

Sampling and Dynamic sampling. They give you a broader and more versatile

range of Latin percussion than the normal drum Voices.

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 103 for details.

Enhancing the Acoustic Realism of the Sound (iAFC)

CVP-409/407 Owner’s Manual

Enhancing the Acoustic Realism of

the Sound (iAFC)

When iAFC is engaged, the instrument will sound deeper and more resonant, similar

to an acoustic musical instrument. This lets you experience the ambience and rever-

beration that are characteristic of performing on stage or simulates the sustain sound

that occur when you press the damper pedal of a grand piano.

This section describes how to make various settings for the iAFC function. You can

also perform an automatic adjustment in order to obtain the optimal iAFC effect.

Adjusting the iAFC Depth

The depth of the acoustic piano resonance simulation and stage ambience simula-

tion can be set.

EFFECT depth.

• DYNAMIC DAMPER Effect

This simulates the sustain sound that occurs when you press the damper

pedal of a grand piano. The microphone is not used, but the sound pro-

duced within the instrument is processed to create a spacious sensation.

iAFC cannot be used in the

following cases.

•When the Speaker setting is

and headphones are con-

nected.

•When the Speaker setting is

Off.

• (CVP-409 grand piano type)

When using iAFC, do not block

or cover the speaker located on

the underside of the keyboard

(CVP-409 grand piano type) or

the rear panel (CVP-409/407) of

the instrument. The optimal iAFC

effect cannot be obtained if this

speaker is blocked.

iAFC uses Yamaha’s EMR (Elec-

tronic Microphone Rotator) tech

nology to ensure stability against

acoustic feedback.

Turning on the iAFC of the CVP-409 grand piano type

To turn on the iAFC, open the lid with the longer stay using the inner recess.

When the lid is closed or open with the shorter stay, the iAFC will not be

] buttons to adjust the SPATIAL EFFECT depth.

If you select the “SPATIAL EFFECT”, make sure to execute the calibration

operation (see below).

•SPATIAL EFFECT

Spatial Effect creates a sense of reverberation and spaciousness by picking up

the output sound using internal microphones and output the sound from the

speaker on the underside (CVP-409 grand piano type) or the rear (CVP-409/

407) of the instrument. The spread and spaciousness of the sound is different

depending on the depth. The default setting for the depth is 0.

For lower depth settings: This creates the resonance and enhances the

acoustic realism of the sound that is characteristic of acoustic instruments

by creating a virtual soundboard.

For deeper depth settings: The sound of the instrument itself and the sound

of singing and other instruments played nearby is picked up by internal

microphones, and processed to simulate the spatial characteristics of per-

forming together on stage.

Calibrating the iAFC Settings

This automatically adjusts the sensitivity and response of iAFC so that the optimal

iAFC effect will be obtained. Make sure to execute this operation when you use

“SPATIAL EFFECT.”

1 Press the [I] (MIC CALIBRATION) button in the iAFC operation display

(page 82) to call up the calibration display.

2 Press the [G] (CALIBRATION START) button to begin calibration.

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 popu-

lar from the 16th century to the 18th century. Handel, among others,

used this scale.

WERCKMEISTER

KIRNBERGER

This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger sys-

tems, 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 per-

forming period music on the harpsichord.

Portamento:

Portamento is a function that cre

ates a smooth transition in pitch

from the ﬁrst note played on the

keyboard to the next. The porta-

mento time (the pitch transition

time) can be set via the MIXING

CONSOLE display (page 90).

DSP:

Stands for Digital Signal Proces-

sor (or Processing). DSP changes

and enhances the audio signal in

the digital realm to produce a

wide range of effects.

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 87).

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.

•The 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 rotat-

ing speed (slow/fast) of the rotary speaker effect.

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 cur-

rently 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

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 opti-

mum balance and stereo image, and lets you set how the effects are applied.

Basic Procedure

1 Press the [MIXING CONSOLE] button to call up the MIXING CON-

SOLE display.

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 selec-

tively 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).

EQ (Equalizer)

Equalizer (also called “EQ”) is a sound processor that divides the frequency spec-

trum 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 speak-

ers 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 fre-

quency bands, and save the settings to one of two User Master EQ types.

Master Compressor

Compressor is an effect commonly used to limit and compress the dynamics (soft-

ness/loudness) of an audio signal. For signals that vary widely in dynamics, such as

vocals and guitar parts, it “squeezes” the dynamic range, effectively making soft

sounds louder and loud sounds softer. When used with gain to boost the overall

level, this creates a more powerful, more consistently high-level sound. Compres-

sion can be used to increase sustain for electric guitar, smooth out the volume of a

vocal, or bring a drum kit or rhythm pattern further up-front in the mix. The instru-

ment has a sophisticated multi-band compressor that allows you to adjust the com-

pression effect for individual frequency bands—giving you detailed sonic control.

You can edit and save your own custom Compressor types, or conveniently select

from one of the presets.

Editable Parameters in the VOICE SET [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 103. 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 106), which are automatically called up when the Voice is

selected.

FOOTAGE, VOLUME/ATTACK (common parameters)

FOOTAGE

VOLUME/ATTACK

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 103), and the Voice

Effect DSP (page 103) 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).

Footage:

The term “footage” is a reference

to the sound generation of tradi-

tional pipe organs, in which the

sound is produced by pipes of

different lengths (in feet).

16' ← → 5 1/3'

Which footage (16' or 5 1/3') is operated with the [1

π†

] 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 low-

est 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 vol-

umes of the footages lets you create your own distinctive organ sounds.

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 102) 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 subse-

quently 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.

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 harmo-

nies 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 unex-

pected accompaniment.

Pianist These special Styles provide piano-only accompaniment. Just by play-

ing the proper chords with your left hand, you can automatically add

complicated, professional-sounding arpeggios and bass/chord patterns.

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.

AI:

Artiﬁcial Intelligence

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.

SINGLE FINGER Makes it simple to produce

orchestrated accompani-

ment using major, seventh,

minor and minor-seventh

chords by pressing a mini-

mum number of keys on the

Chord section of the key-

board. This type is available

only for Style playback.

The abbreviated chord ﬁn-

gerings described at right are

used:

MULTI FINGER Automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered chord ﬁngerings, so you

can 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 List

booklet and can be looked up using the Chord Tutor function (page 49).

FINGERED ON

BASS

Accepts the same ﬁngerings as the Fingered, but the lowest note played

in the Chord section of the keyboard is used as the bass note, allowing

you to play “on bass” chords (in the Fingered mode the root of the

chord is always used as the bass note).

FULL KEYBOARD Detects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way

similar to Fingered, even if you split the notes between your left and

right hands—for example, playing a bass note with your left hand and a

chord with your right, or by playing a chord with your left hand and a

melody note with your right.

AI FINGERED Basically the same as Fingered, with the exception that less than three

notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously

played chord, etc.).

AI FULL KEYBOARD When this advanced ﬁngering type is engaged, the instrument will auto-

matically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about

anything, anywhere on the keyboard using both hands. You don’t have

to worry about specifying the Style chords. Although the AI Full Key-

board type is designed to work with many songs, some arrangements

may not be suitable for use with this feature. This type is similar to Full

Keyboard, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to

indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). 9th,

11th and 13th chords cannot be played. This type is available only for

Style playback.

For a major chord,

press the root key only.

For a minor chord,

simultaneously press the root

key and a black key to its left.

For a seventh chord,

• 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 accom-

paniment 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 above, 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 vol-

ume 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 differ-

ent 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.

Data that is recorded when

recording a Song

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.”

■ Step Recording ➤ See page 121

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 122

This convenient feature lets you create composite Styles by combining various pat-

terns 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 real-

time 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 120) and

Delete (page 120). 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.

Step Recording (EDIT)

The explanation here applies when selecting the EDIT tab in step 4 of “Realtime

Recording” (page 119).

In 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 147),

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 automati-

cally 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 automati-

cally set to the end of the fourth measure, and cannot be changed in the Step

Recording display.

Any desired chord or chord pro-

gression 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 127)

before recording.

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 chan-

nels (i.e., C, E, G, and B).

Using the data recorded here, the auto accompaniment (Style playback) is appro-

priately converted depending on the chord changes you make during your per-

formance. 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 dis-

play on page 127. 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 128.

Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles

■ 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.

■ 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.

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.

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% com-

press 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.

Editing of Style File Format data

is related only to note conver-

sion. Editing the rhythm chan-

nels has no effect.

The Style File Format (SFF) combines all of Yamaha’s auto

accompaniment (Style playback) know-how into a single

uniﬁed format. By using the Style Creator, you can take

advantage of the power of the SFF format and freely create

your own Styles.

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 con-

verted 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 Pat-

tern.”

• Note Transposition

This parameter group features two parameters that deter-

mine how the notes of the Source Pattern are to be con-

verted 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 exam-

ple, the Note Limit parameter allows you to have the

Voices of the Style sound as realistic as possible by shift-

ing the pitch to an authentic range—ensuring that no

notes sound outside the natural range of the actual instru-

ment (e.g., very low notes of a piccolo sound).

■ 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.

■ 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.

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 Pat-

tern. 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 set-

tings.

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 trans-

posed to F. Use this setting for chan-

nels that contain melody lines.

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.

This sets the note transposition table for 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 param-

eter (page 128) is set to “Root Trans.”

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.

■ 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.

E3-G3-C4

F3-A3-C4

the Song is automatically used.

Parameter Lock

You can “lock” speciﬁc parame-

ters (e.g., effect, split point, etc.)

to make them selectable only via

the panel controls (page 132).

If the Song data does not contain

this data, the current chord name

will not be displayed in the Main

display during Song playback.

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 instru-

ment 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 mini-

mum 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.”

Quick Recording

➤ page 144

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 145

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

➤ page 147

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).

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 69).

■ 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 conve-

nient way of correcting for this.

■ Deleting the data of the speciﬁed channel (DELETE menu)

You can delete the data of the speciﬁed channel in the Song. Select the channel

whose data to be deleted by using the [1

π†

]–[8

π†

] buttons, then press the [D]

(EXECUTE) button to execute the operation.

CAUTION

The recorded Song data will

be lost if you select another

Song or turn the power to the

instrument off without exe-

cuting the Save operation

(page 69).

About Quantize size (resolu-

tion)

The Quantize size or resolution

is the number of clocks per quar-

ter note.

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.

Settings

The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally conve-

nient, 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 elimi-

nating 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% pro-

duces 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.

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 sig-

nal (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 SET-

■ 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 173) 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.

• 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<H63 (L: Lead Vocal, H: Vocal Harmony), only the Vocal

Harmony is output; when it is set to L63>H, only the lead vocal is output.

SONG CHANNEL MUTE/PLAY

When set to “MUTE,” the channel selected below (to control

Harmony) is muted (turned off) during song playback.

OFF/Channels 1–16

When 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 141).

KEYBOARD OFF

Keyboard control over harmony is turned off.

UPPER

• MODE

All of the Vocal Harmony types fall into one of three modes, which produce har-

mony 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.

• CHORD

The following parameters determine which data in a recorded song is used for

chord detection.

•Vocal Range

Set this to obtain the most natural vocal harmony, depending on your voice.

■ 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.

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 172).

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 control-

ling the harmony. (Not available if the song does not contain any

chord data.)

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 chan-

nel.

Normal Normal setting

Low Setting for lower voice. This setting is also appropriate for growl-

ing and shouting.

Connecting the Clavinova Directly to the Internet

You can purchase and download Song data and other types of data from the spe-

cial Clavinova website by directly connecting the instrument to the Internet. This

section contains terms related to computers and online communications. If there

are some terms you are unfamiliar with, refer to the Internet Glossary (page 188).

Connecting the Instrument to the

Internet

You can connect the instrument to a full-time online connection (ADSL, optical ﬁber,

cable Internet, etc.) via a router or a modem equipped with a router. For speciﬁc

instructions on connecting (as well as information on compatible LAN adaptors, rout-

ers, etc.), refer to the Yamaha website:

http://music.yamaha.com/homekeyboard

To use the Internet connection, you will ﬁrst need to subscribe to an Internet ser-

vice or provider.

Connection example 1:

Connecting by cable (using a modem without router)

Connection example 2:

Connecting by cable (using a modem with router)

Connection example 3: Wireless connection

The special website can be

opened when directly connect-

ing the Clavinova to the Internet.

Depending on the Internet con-

nection, you may not be able to

connect to two or more devices

(for example, a computer and

the instrument), depending on

the contract with the provider.

This means you cannot connect

with the Clavinova. If in doubt,

check your contract or contact

your provider.

Connect the LAN cable to the

LAN port.

Due to EU regulations, users

within Europe should use an STP

(shielded twisted pair) cable to

prevent electromagnetic interfer-

ence.

Some types of modems require

an optional hub network for

simultaneously connecting to

several devices (such as com-

puter, musical instrument, etc.).

Connect the LAN cable to the

LAN port.

A USB wireless LAN adaptor

also can be used.

Use a computer to connect to the Internet and get online before connect-

ing the instrument, since no modem or router settings can be made from

the instrument itself.

Glossary of Internet Terms

CVP-409/407 Owner’s Manual

188

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 Inter-

net. 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 informa-

tion 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 con-

nected 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 collec-

tion 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. Commu-

nication 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.

Subnet mask A setting used to divide a large-scale network into several smaller networks.

URL Short for Uniform Resource Locator, a string of characters used to identify and link to speciﬁc websites and

pages on the Internet. A complete URL usually starts with the characters “http://.”

Web page Refers to each individual page that makes up a website.

Wireless LAN A LAN connection that allows data transfer through a wireless, cable-free connection.

Wireless Game

Adaptor

(Wireless Ethernet

Converter or Bridge)

Device that allows easy wireless connection with digital consumer electronic devices, printers, and game

machines, etc. equipped with LAN ports.

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 immedi-

ately 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 sus-

tain 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 vol-

ume 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 90). 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* Applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. Moreover, various effects can

be added to the S. Articulation Voice (page 78). The effect becomes deeper when press-

ing down the foot controller. You can turn this function on/off for each keyboard part on

this display.

MOD/S.ART2 (ALT) 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 When you use a S. Articulation voice that has an effect assigned to the pedal/foot-

switch, you can enable the effect by pressing the pedal/footswitch. You can turn this

function on/off for each keyboard part on this display.

DSP VARIATION Switches Voice Effect DSP VARIATION on and off.

VIBE ROTOR ON/OFF Switches the VIBRATE SW parameter on and off when the VIBE VIBRATE effect type is

selected.

Connecting a Computer

(7 [MIDI] and 8 [USB TO HOST] Terminals)

By connecting a computer to the [USB TO HOST] or

[MIDI] terminals, you can transfer data between the

instrument and the computer via MIDI, and take advan-

tage of sophisticated computer music programs. Keep in

mind that you also need to install an appropriate USB-

MIDI driver.

The instructions below explain how to connect and use

the terminals.

If you are using a computer that has a USB interface, we recom-

mend that you connect the computer and the instrument by USB,

rather than by MIDI.

Driver

A driver is software that provides a data-transfer interface between

the computer’s operating system and a connected hardware

device. You need to install a USB-MIDI driver to connect the com-

puter and the instrument. Refer to the separate Installation Guide

(page 4).

This explanation is divided into two parts, covering the

two connections: connection to the [USB TO HOST]

terminal and connection to the [MIDI] terminal.

• Connecting to the [USB TO HOST] terminal

When connecting the instrument to the computer via

USB, use a standard USB cable (having the USB logo)

to connect the [USB TO HOST] terminal on the

instrument to the USB terminal of the computer. Then,

install the USB-MIDI driver.

About the [USB TO HOST] and [USB TO DEVICE] terminals

There are two different types of USB terminals on the instrument:

[USB TO HOST] and [USB TO DEVICE]. Take care not to confuse

the two terminals and the corresponding cable connectors.

Be careful to connect the proper plug in the proper direction. Expla-

nations on the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal follow in the next section.

•The instrument will begin transmission a short time after the

USB connection is made.

•When using a USB cable to connect the instrument to your

computer, make the connection directly without passing

through a USB hub.

•For information on setting up your sequence software, refer to

the owner’s manual of the relevant software.

• Connection by [MIDI] terminals

There are two ways to connect the instrument via MIDI

to a computer. If you have a MIDI interface built into

your computer, connect the MIDI OUT terminal of the

computer interface to the [MIDI IN] terminal of the

instrument, and connect the [MIDI OUT] terminal of

the instrument to the MIDI IN terminal of the interface.

MIDI IN Receives MIDI messages from an external

MIDI device.

MIDI OUT Transmits MIDI messages generated by the

instrument.

MIDI THRU Simply relays the MIDI messages received at

MIDI IN.

CAUTION

Precautions when using the [USB TO HOST] terminal

When connecting the computer to the [USB TO HOST] termi-

nal, make sure to observe the following points. Failing to do so

risks freezing the computer and corrupting or losing data. If the

computer or the instrument freezes, turn the power to the

instrument off and restart the computer.

• Use an AB type USB cable of less than about 3 meters.

• Before connecting the computer to the [USB TO HOST] ter-

minal, exit from any power-saving mode of the computer

(such as suspended, sleep, standby), and quit any open appli-

cation software, also turns off the power to the instrument.

• Execute the following before turning the power to the instru-

ment off or unplugging the USB cable to/from the instrument/

computer.

- Quit any open application software on the computer.

-Make sure that data is not being transmitted from the

instrument. (Data is transmitted only by playing notes on

the keyboard or playing back a song.)

•While a USB device is connected to the instrument, you

should wait for six seconds or more between these

operations: When turning the power of the instrument

off then on again, or when alternately connecting/dis-

connecting the USB cable.

What is MIDI?

Put simply, MIDI is a data transfer standard that allows

easy and comprehensive control among electronic/digi-

tal 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 gui-

tar. With the piano, you strike a key, and a hammer

inside hits some strings and plays a note. With the gui-

tar, you directly pluck a string and the note sounds.

But how does a digital instrument go about playing a

note?

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 exam-

ple, a solo piano recording), you’re hearing the actual

sound (vibration in air) of the acoustic instrument. This

is called audio data, to distinguish it from MIDI data.

In the above example, the actual acoustic sounds of the

pianist’s performance are captured in the recording as

audio data, and this is recorded to CD. When you play

back that CD on your audio system, you can hear the

actual piano performance. The piano itself is not neces-

sary, since the recording contains the actual sounds of

the piano, and your speakers reproduce them.

Copying ﬁles from a computer hard disk to a

USB storage device

Files contained on the hard disk of a computer can be

transferred to the instrument by ﬁrst copying them to the

storage media, then connecting/inserting the media to the

instrument.

Not only ﬁles created on the instrument itself but also

Standard MIDI ﬁles and Style File-formatted Style ﬁles cre-

ated on other devices can be copied to a USB storage

device from the hard disk of the computer. Once you’ve

copied the data, connect the device to the [USB TO

DEVICE] terminal of the instrument, and play back the

data on the instrument.

Using Your Instrument with Other Devices

CVP-409/407 Owner’s Manual

197

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 exam-

ple. 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. How-

ever, since the instrument features a built-in sequencer

that lets you record performance data, this recording

equipment is unnecessary. Instead, your digital instru-

ment—the Clavinova—allows you to both record and

play back the 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 genera-

tor is similar to that of the pianist and the piano—one

plays the other. Since digital instruments handle play-

back data and the actual sounds independently, we can

hear our piano performance played by another instru-

ment, such as guitar or violin.

Even though it is a single musical instrument, the instrument can

be thought of as containing several electronic components: a con-

troller, 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 infor-

mation 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

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 send-

ing 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 transmit-

ting 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.

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: Chan-

nel messages and System messages.

Channel Messages

The instrument is an electronic instrument that can han-

dle 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 informa-

tion such as Note ON/OFF, Program Change, for each

of the 16 channels.

What is MIDI?

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 perfor-

mance 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 trans-

mitting instrument sends MIDI data on a speciﬁc MIDI

channel (MIDI Transmit Channel) via a single MIDI

cable to the receiving instrument. If the receiving instru-

ment’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 202)

For example, several parts or channels can be transmit-

ted simultaneously, including the Style data (as shown

below).

Example: Recording a performance with the auto accompa-

niment (Style playback) sound of the instrument to an exter-

nal sequencer

As you can see, it is essential to determine which data is

to be sent over which MIDI channel when transmitting

MIDI data (page 202).

The instrument also allows you to determine how the

received data is played back (page 203).

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 manufac-

turer and Realtime messages for controlling the MIDI

device.

The messages transmitted/received by the instrument

are shown in the MIDI Data Format and MIDI Imple-

mentation 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.

When you want to use the instrument as an XG-com-

patible multi-timbral tone generator, set the receive part

for MIDI channels 1–16 to “SONG” in MIDI/USB 1 in

MIDI Receive (page 203).

MIDI Data Compatibility

This section covers basic information on data compati-

bility: whether or not other MIDI devices can playback

the data recorded by CVP-409/407, and whether or not

the CVP-409/407 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-409/407 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 compati-

ble with Format 0, and most commercially available

software is recorded as Format 0.

•The CVP-409/407 is compatible with both Format 0

and Format 1.

• Song data recorded on the CVP-409/407 is automati-

cally 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-409/407 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 compat-

ible 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 instru-

ment is compatible with the following formats.

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 meth-

ods.

● GM System Level 1

This is one of the most common voice allocation for-

mats.

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-409/407 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 enhance-

ment of the GM speciﬁcally to provide more Voices and

Drum kits and their variations, as well as greater expres-

sive control over Voices and effects.

Pre-Programmed MIDI Templates

Template name Description

All Parts Transmits all parts including the keyboard parts (RIGHT1, 2,and LEFT), with the excep-

tion of Song parts.

KBD & STYLE Basically the same as “All Parts” with the exception of how keyboard parts are man-

aged. The right-hand parts are handled as “UPPER” instead of RIGHT 1 and 2 and the

left-hand part is handled as “LOWER.”

Master KBD In this setting, the instrument functions as a “master” keyboard, playing and controlling

one or more connected tone generators or other devices (such as a computer/

sequencer).

Song All transmit channels are set to correspond to Song channels 1–16. This is used to play

Song data with an external tone generator and to record Song data to an external

sequencer.

Clock Ext Playback (Song or Style) synchronizes with an external MIDI clock instead of the instru-

ment’s internal clock. This template should be used when you wish to set the tempo on

the MIDI device connected to the instrument.

MIDI Accord 1 MIDI accordions allow you to transmit MIDI data and play connected tone generators

from the keyboard and bass/chord buttons of the accordion. This template lets you play

melodies from the keyboard and control Style playback on the instrument with the left-

hand buttons.

MIDI Accord 2 Basically the same as “MIDI Accord1” above, with the exception that the chord/bass

notes you play with your left hand on the MIDI Accordion are recognized also as MIDI

note events.

MIDI Pedal 1 MIDI pedal units allow you play connected tone generators with your feet (especially

convenient for playing single note bass parts). This template lets you play/control the

chord root in Style playback with a MIDI pedal unit.

MIDI Pedal 2 This template lets you play the bass part for Style playback by using a MIDI pedal unit.

MIDI OFF No MIDI signals are sent or received.

MIDI System Settings

The explanations here apply to the SYSTEM display to

be called up in step 4 of the “Basic Operation” on

page 200.

■ LOCAL CONTROL

Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When

Local Control is set to “ON,” the keyboard of the instru-

ment 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 instru-

ment’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 exter-

nal 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 instru-

ment’s MIDI IN terminal), and that it is properly transmit-

ting 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 Sys-

tem Exclusive messages on or off. The “Rx” setting turns

MIDI reception and recognition of MIDI System Exclu-

sive 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.

MIDI Transmit Settings

The explanations here apply to the TRANSMIT display

to be called up in step 4 of the “Basic Operation” on

page 200. This determines which parts will be sent as

MIDI data and over which MIDI channel the data will

be sent.

Operation

Select the part to be transmitted and the channel via

which the selected part will be transmitted. You can also

determine the types of data to be sent.

● With the exception of the two parts below, the

conﬁguration of the parts is the same as those

already explained elsewhere in this manual.

• UPPER

The keyboard part played on the right side of the key-

board from the Split Point for the Voices (RIGHT1 and/

or 2).

• LOWER

The keyboard part played on the left side of the keyboard

from the Split Point for the Voices. This is not affected by

the on/off status of the [ACMP ON/OFF] button.

● Tx MONITOR

The dots corresponding to each channel (1–16) ﬂash

brieﬂy whenever any data is transmitted on the chan-

nel(s).

When different parts are assigned to the same transmit channel

If the same transmit channel is assigned to several different parts,

the transmitted MIDI messages are merged to a single channel—

resulting in unexpected sounds and possible glitches in the con-

nected MIDI device.

About the protected Songs

Write-protected Songs cannot be transmitted even if the proper

Song channels 1–16 are set to be transmitted.

■ MIDI messages which can be transmitted or

received (recognized)

The following MIDI messages can be set on the TRANS-

MIT/RECEIVE display.

MIDI Receive Settings

The explanations here apply to the RECEIVE display to be

called up in step 4 of the “Basic Operation” on page 200.

This determines which parts will receive MIDI data and

over which MIDI channels the data will be received.

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 con-

nection.

● 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).

n Parameter Lock

You can “lock” speciﬁc parameters (e.g., effect, split

point, etc.) to make them selectable only via the panel

controls (page 132).

■ MIDI transmission/reception via the USB ter-

minal and MIDI terminals

The relationship between the [MIDI] terminals and the

[USB] terminal which can be used for transmitting/

receiving 32 channels (16 channels x 2 ports) of the

MIDI messages is as follows:

Setting the Bass Note for Style Playback

via MIDI Receive

The explanations here apply to the BASS display to be

called up in step 4 of the “Basic Operation” on

page 200.

These settings let you determine the bass note for Style

playback, based on the note messages received via

MIDI. The note on/off messages received at the chan-

nel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the bass note of the

chord of Style playback. The bass note will be detected

regardless of the [ACMP ON/OFF] or split point set-

tings. When several channels are simultaneously set to

“ON,” the bass note is detected from merged MIDI data

received over the channels.

Operation

Select the channel and set the “ON/OFF” for that chan-

nel. Use the All OFF item to set all channels to OFF.

Setting the Chord Type for Style Play-

back via MIDI Receive

The explanations here apply to the CHORD DETECT

display to be called up in step 4 of the “Basic Opera-

tion” on page 200.

These settings let you determine the chord type for Style

playback, based on the note messages received via

MIDI. The note on/off messages received at the chan-

nel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the notes for

detecting chords in Style playback. The chords to be

detected depend on the ﬁngering type. The chord type

will be detected regardless of the [ACMP ON/OFF] or

split point settings. When several channels are simulta-

neously set to “ON,” the chord type is detected from

merged MIDI data received over the channels.

The operation procedure is basically the same as that of

the BASS display above.

Troubleshooting

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 109).

• Headphones are connected, disabling the speaker out-

put. (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 202).

Not all simultaneously played notes sound.

•You are probably exceeding the maximum polyphony

(page 217) 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 some-

thing other than “Equal,” changing the tuning system of

the keyboard. Make sure “Equal” is selected as the

Scale in the Scale Tune display (page 84).

- 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 sam-

pling 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 stor-

age device may result 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.

The main background image from the CD-ROM is not

displayed.

•This is because the Main display is loaded prior to load-

ing of the image from the CD-ROM. To remedy this,

copy the image data from the CD-ROM to the User dis-

play, then set it as the main background image (page 19).

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 211, 214).

• Each pedal has been assigned to a different function.

Make sure that each pedal is properly assigned to SUS-

TAIN, SOSTENUTO, and SOFT (page 191).

• Make sure the Registration Sequence function is set to

OFF (page 135).

Some characters of the ﬁle/folder name are garbled.

•The language settings have been changed. Set the appro-

priate language for the ﬁle/folder name (page 18).

An existing ﬁle is not shown.

•The ﬁle extension (.MID, etc.) may have been changed

or deleted. Manually rename the ﬁle, adding the appro-

priate extension, on a computer.

The data contained in the USB storage device is not

shown on the instrument itself.

• Data ﬁles with names of more than 50 characters cannot

be handled by the instrument. Rename the ﬁle, reducing

the number of characters to 50 or less.

How can I stop the demo?

• Press the [EXIT] button.

The Voice selected from the Voice Selection display

does not sound.

• Check whether or not the selected part is turned on

(page 79).

•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 parame-

ter, 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 begin-

ning 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 ﬁnger-

ing mode (page 107).

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 106).

The Voice produces excessive noise.

• Certain Voices may produce noise, depending on the

Harmonic Content and/or Brightness settings in the FIL-

TER page of the Mixing Console display (page 90).

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 92).

• Adjust the sound using the [8

π†

] (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 101) 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 Har-

monic Content or Brightness controls in the Filter display

(page 90).

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 depend-

ing on the original settings of the Voice.

Voices other than those in the Preset display cannot

be selected for Step recording.

•This is normal.

Style playback does not start.

• Make sure to press the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP]

button.

• MIDI Clock may be set to “EXTERNAL.” Make sure this is

set to “INTERNAL” (page 202).

Only the rhythm channel plays.

• Make sure the Auto Accompaniment function is turned

on; press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button.

•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 Fin-

gered Mode” of the separate Data List.

•You may be playing the keys according to a different ﬁn-

gering mode, and not the one currently selected. Check

the accompaniment mode, and play the keys according

to the selected mode (page 108).

Synchro Stop cannot be turned on.

• Synchro Stop cannot be turned on when the ﬁngering

mode is set to “Full Keyboard” or “AI 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.

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 108).

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

group. Remove the checkmark from “STYLE” in the

Freeze setting display (page 133).

Even though a Registration Memory setting contain-

ing a User/USB voice is selected, the File Selection dis-

play 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 Registra-

tion 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.

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

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 149) 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 dis-

play.

• 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.

Dotted notes are indicated as rests.

•This is normal; sometimes dotted notes are indicated as

rests.

Chords are not displayed.

• If the selected Song does not contain chord data, chords

Lyrics are not displayed.

• If the selected Song does not contain lyric data, lyrics are

not displayed.

Some of the lyrics overlap each other.

•This happens for Songs containing many lyrics.

The Lyrics Background setting cannot be changed.

• When the background color is speciﬁed in the song

data, the Lyrics Background setting cannot be changed.

Performance assistant technology does not work

appropriately.

• Press the SONG [STOP] button to stop Song playback,

then set the [ACMP ON/OFF] and PART ON/OFF [LEFT]

to off. Finally, restart the Song.

The instrument display contents cannot be sent via

video out/RGB out and do not show on an external

monitor.

• Make sure that the NTSC/PAL/RGB setting corresponds

to the standard of your particular equipment (page 56).

Some ﬂashing parallel lines appear in the TV, video,

or computer monitor.

• Occasionally some ﬂashing parallel lines may appear in

the television, video, or computer. This does not neces-

sarily indicate that the monitor is malfunctioning. For

optimum results, try adjusting the color settings on the

monitor itself.

The monitor you are using may not show the instru-

ment's display contents as expected.

•Keep in mind that even after adjusting all settings as rec-

ommended, the monitor you are using may not show the

instrument's display contents as expected (e.g., the dis-

play contents may not ﬁt on the screen, the characters

may not be completely clear, or the colors may be incor-

rect).

The microphone input signal cannot be recorded.

•The microphone input signal cannot be recorded by

Song/Style recording. Use the USB Audio Recorder func-

tion (page 60). Furthermore, you can connect a recorder

to the output terminals [AUX OUT, AUX OUT (LEVEL

FIXED) 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.

• Cut the Low band via the 3 Band EQ function in the

MICROPHONE SETTING display (page 171).

• Raise the microphone input level (TH) via the Com-

pressor function in the MICROPHONE SETTING dis-

play (page 172).

Appropriate harmony notes are not produced by the

Vocal Harmony feature.

• Make sure you are using the appropriate method to

specify the harmony notes for the current Vocal Har-

mony mode (page 173).

The message “This drive is busy now.” appeared, and

then the recording was aborted.

• Make sure to use a compatible USB ﬂash memory

(page 22).

• Make sure that the USB ﬂash memory has enough mem-

ory (page 195).

• If you are using a USB ﬂash memory to which data has

already been recorded, check ﬁrst that no important data

remains on the device, then format it (page 68) and try

recording again.

ness of the sound when you open the lid with the longer

stay (page 16).

In order to optimize the iAFC effect, please observe the

following:

•Perform the automatic adjustment after you turn on

the power of the Clavinova for the ﬁrst time, and after

each time you re-locate the Clavinova. (page 176)

• Do not block the speaker located on the bottom face

of the Clavinova.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

INFORMATION RELATING TO PERSONAL INJURY, ELECTRICAL SHOCK,

AND FIRE HAZARD POSSIBILITIES HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN THIS LIST.

WARNING- When using any electrical or electronic product,

basic precautions should always be followed. These precautions

include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Read all Safety Instructions, Installation Instructions, Spe-

cial Message Section items, and any Assembly Instructions

found in this manual BEFORE making any connections, includ-

ing connection to the main supply.

2. Main Power Supply Veriﬁcation: Yamaha products are

manufactured speciﬁcally for the supply voltage in the area

where they are to be sold. If you should move, or if any doubt

exists about the supply voltage in your area, please contact your

dealer for supply voltage veriﬁcation and (if applicable) instruc-

tions. The required supply voltage is printed on the name plate.

For name plate location, please refer to the graphic found in the

Special Message Section of this manual.

3. This product may be equipped with a polarized plug (one

blade wider than the other). If you are unable to insert the plug

into the outlet, turn the plug over and try again. If the problem

persists, contact an electrician to have the obsolete outlet

replaced. Do NOT defeat the safety purpose of the plug.

4. Some electronic products utilize external power supplies

or adapters. Do NOT connect this type of product to any power

supply or adapter other than one described in the owners manual,

on the name plate, or speciﬁcally recommended by Yamaha.

5. WARNING: Do not place this product or any other

objects on the power cord or place it in a position where anyone

could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over power or connect-

ing cords of any kind. The use of an extension cord is not recom-

mended! If you must use an extension cord, the minimum wire

size for a 25’ cord (or less) is 18 AWG. NOTE: The smaller the

AWG number, the larger the current handling capacity. For

longer extension cords, consult a local electrician.

6. Ventilation: Electronic products, unless speciﬁcally

designed for enclosed installations, should be placed in locations

that do not interfere with proper ventilation. If instructions for

enclosed installations are not provided, it must be assumed that

unobstructed ventilation is required.

7. Temperature considerations: Electronic products should

be installed in locations that do not signiﬁcantly contribute to

their operating temperature. Placement of this product close to

heat sources such as; radiators, heat registers and other devices

that produce heat should be avoided.

8. This product was NOT designed for use in wet/damp loca-

tions and should not be used near water or exposed to rain.

Examples of wet/damp locations are; near a swimming pool,

spa, tub, sink, or wet basement.

9. This product should be used only with the components

supplied or; a cart, rack, or stand that is recommended by the

manufacturer. If a cart, rack, or stand is used, please observe all

safety markings and instructions that accompany the accessory

product.

10. The power supply cord (plug) should be disconnected

from the outlet when electronic products are to be left unused for

extended periods of time. Cords should also be disconnected

when there is a high probability of lightning and/or electrical

storm activity.

11. Care should be taken that objects do not fall and liquids

are not spilled into the enclosure through any openings that may

exist.

12. Electrical/electronic products should be serviced by a

qualiﬁed service person when:

a. The power supply cord has been damaged; or

b. Objects have fallen, been inserted, or liquids have been

spilled into the enclosure through openings; or

c. The product has been exposed to rain: or

d. The product dose not operate, exhibits a marked change

in performance; or

e. The product has been dropped, or the enclosure of the

product has been damaged.

13. Do not attempt to service this product beyond that

described in the user-maintenance instructions. All other servic-

ing should be referred to qualiﬁed service personnel.

14. This product, either alone or in combination with an

ampliﬁer and headphones or speaker/s, may be capable of pro-

ducing sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss.

DO NOT operate for a long period of time at a high volume level

or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing

loss or ringing in the ears, you should consult an audiologist.

IMPORTANT: The louder the sound, the shorter the time period

before damage occurs.

15. Some Yamaha products may have benches and/or acces-

sory mounting ﬁxtures that are either supplied as a part of the

product or as optional accessories. Some of these items are
