You can adjust the Pan (stereo position of the sound) and Volume for each Part. This display is not available
when the “Master” tab is selected at the top of the Mixer display.
Compressor is an effect commonly used to limit and compress the dynamics (softness/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.
This instrument features a Master Compressor which is applied to the entire sound of this instrument.
Although preset Master Compressor settings are provided, you can also create and save your original Master
Compressor presets by adjusting the related parameters. This display is available only when the “Master” tab
is selected at the top of the Mixer display.
NOTE Master Compressor cannot be applied to Audio playback or the Metronome sound.
Pan/Volume
Pan Determines the stereo position of each part (channel).

When this is set to “On,” Harmony or Echo is applied to your keyboard performance automatically.
2Adjust related parameters such as Harmony type and volume.
NOTE The available parameters differ depending on the Harmony type.
Type Lets you select one of the Harmony types, which are divided into the following groups.
Harmony Type (Standard Duet — Strum)
These types apply the harmony effect to notes played in the right-hand section of the keyboard
according to the chord specified in the left-hand section of the keyboard. (Note that the “1+5”
and “Octave” settings are not affected by the chord.)
If you want to use these types with the Style stopped, set the “Stop ACMP” parameter to a

Type Multi Assign
The Multi Assign effect automatically assigns notes played simultaneously on the right-hand
section of the keyboard to separate parts (Voices). Both of the keyboard parts [Main] and
[Layer] should be turned on when using the Multi Assign effect. The Main and Layer Voices are
alternately assigned to the notes in the order you play.
Echo Type (Echo, Tremolo and Trill)
When one of the Echo Types is selected, the corresponding effect (echo, tremolo, trill) is
applied to the note played in the right-hand section of the keyboard in time with the currently
set tempo, regardless of the [ACMP ON/OFF] and the Left part on/off status. Keep in mind that
Trill only 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.
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.
• Auto: Applies the effect to the part which is turned on. When the both parts are on, the Main
part is given priority over the Layer part.
•Multi: When both parts are on, the note played on the keyboard is sounded by Main part
and the harmonies (effect) are divided to the Main and Layer parts. When only one part is
on, the note played on the keyboard and effect are sounded by that part.
•Main, Layer: Applies the effect to the selected part (Main or Layer).
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 notes (played in the right-hand section of the
keyboard) that belong to a chord played in the chord section of the keyboard.
Minimum
Velocity
This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi Assign.” It determines the
lowest velocity value at which the harmony note will sound. This allows you to selectively apply
the harmony by your playing strength, letting you create harmony accents in the melody. The
harmony effect is applied when you play the key strongly (above the set value).
CVP-909/CVP-905 Reference Manual 26
Microphone Settings
This section lets you set parameters for various Effects that are applied to the microphone sound. You should
make both “Vocal” and “Talk” settings — “Vocal,” for your singing performance, and “Talk,” for making
announcements between songs, for example.
Microphone
On/Off
Turns on or off the microphone sound. When set to On, the microphone sound will be input to the
instrument.
NOTE The setting here is equivalent to that in the Vocal Harmony display (page 28).
Vocal/Talk
Switch
When you sing into the microphone for your performance, set this to “Vocal.” When you talk
normally or need to make announcements between songs of your performance, set this to “Talk.”
This lets you instantly change the microphone settings depending on the situation.
NOTE The setting here is equivalent to that in the Vocal Harmony display (page 28).
Volume
Adjustment
Adjusts the input volume of the microphone sound. The input level is shown at the right.
NOTE The setting here is equivalent to that in the Vocal Harmony display (page 28).
3 Band 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
three-band (Low, Mid and High) digital equalizer function for the microphone sound. For each of
three bands, you can adjust the center frequency (Hz) and level (dB) via the corresponding
knobs on the display.
Noise Gate This effect mutes the input signal when the input from the microphone falls below a specified
level. This effectively cuts off extraneous noise, allowing the desired signal (vocal, etc.) to pass.
On/Off Turns Noise Gate on or off.
Th. (Threshold)
Adjusts the input level above which the gate begins to open.
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 loud parts softer, or vice versa.
On/Off Turns Compressor on or off.
Th. (Threshold)
Adjusts the input level above which compression begins to be applied.
Ratio Adjusts the compression ratio. Higher ratios result in a more compressed
sound, with a reduced dynamic range.
Output Adjusts the final output level.

•Low: Setting for lower voices. This setting is also appropriate for growling
and shouting.
•Mid: Setting for mid-range voices.
• High: Setting for higher voices. This setting is also appropriate for singing
close to the microphone.
•Full: Setting for vocalists having a wide range, from low to high.
Speed Adjusts the response speed of the Vocal Harmony effect, or how quickly
harmonies are generated in response to your voice. The larger the number,
the faster the response.
NOTE When one or both of Lead Pitch Detect Speed and Harm Pitch Detect Speed
parameters of Vocal Harmony (page 31) are set to “as MIC SETTING,” this
parameter is effective. In other settings, the setting of the Vocal Harmony’s
Pitch Detect Speed is effective.

Editing the Vocal Harmony Type
Harmony
On/Off
Turns Vocal Harmony on or off.
Mode Although one of the three following Modes is automatically selected when a Vocal
Harmony type is selected, you can change the Mode.
Chordal The harmony notes are determined by the following three chord
types: chords played in the chord section of the keyboard (with
[ACMP ON/OFF] turned on), chords played in the left hand section
of the keyboard (with the Left part turned on), and chords contained
in Song data for controlling the harmony. (Not available if the Song
does not contain any chord data.)
NOTE If you want to apply Vocal Harmony by pressing the chords in the
chord section when the Style is stopped, you need to set the “Stop
ACMP” parameter to a setting other than “Disabled” in the Style
Setting display (page 84).
Vocoder The microphone sound is output via the notes you play on the
keyboard or via the Song playback notes.
Vocoder-Mono Basically the same as the Vocoder. In this mode, only single-note
melodies or lines can be played back (with last-note priority).
(When the Mode is set to “Chordal”)
Chord
Source
Determines which data or event of a Song will be used for chord detection.
•Off: Detects no chord from the Song data.
•XF: Chord data defined via XF will be used.
•1 – 16: Detects a chord from notes of the MIDI channel specified here.
When the Mode () is set to “Chordal”: When the Mode ( ) is set to “Vocoder” or “Vocoder-Mono”:
Vocal Harmony Settings
CVP-909/CVP-905 Reference Manual 30
Type Determines how the harmony notes are applied to the microphone sound by selecting
one of the Chordal Types. Almost all Types apply the harmony notes based on the chord
specified via the left hand section of the keyboard, chord section of the keyboard, or the
Song data, with the exception of the following two Types. For details, refer to the “Vocal
Harmony Parameter List” in the Data List (separate PDF.)
• ScaleDiatonic: This generates harmony notes based on the Key Root and Key Type
specified in the Harmony Assign display (), meaning that the harmony notes do not
depend on the chord but match the diatonic scale of the current song’s key signature.
• Parallel: This adds a note to the lead note (microphone sound) with the interval
specified at , regardless of the chord.
NOTE “Abv” in the Chordal Type List means that the harmony notes are generated above the lead
note (microphone sound) while “Blw” means that the harmony notes are generated below
the lead note.
For more information about the Chordal Types, refer to “Vocal Harmony Parameter List”
in the Data List (separate PDF).
(When the Mode is set to “Vocoder” or “Vocoder-Mono”)
Song Ch When set to one of 1 – 16, note data (played from a Song on this instrument or the
connected computer) of the corresponding channel is used to control the harmony. When
set to “Off,” Song data control over harmony is turned off.
Part When set to “Mute,” the channel selected above (to control Harmony) is muted (turned
off) during Song playback, allowing you to disable control via specific channels as
desired.
Keyboard •Off:
Keyboard control over harmony is turned off.
•Upper: Notes played to the right of the Split Point control the harmony.
•Lower: Notes played to the left of the Split Point control the harmony.
Balance Lets you set the balance between the lead vocal (the microphone sound) and Vocal
Harmony sound. 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.
Balance
adjustment
for each
Lead note
and
Harmony
note
The following parameters can be adjusted for each Lead note (microphone sound) and
Harmony note.
• Transpose/Degree: Lets you shift the pitch for each Harmony note and Lead note.
The range for all notes is the same; however, the lead note can only be adjusted in
octaves. When the Chordal Type is set to “ScaleDiatonic,” this parameter changes to
Degree, letting you shift the pitch in degree from −3 octaves (−22 scale degrees) –
Unison (1 scale degree) – +3 octaves (+22 scale degrees).
•Detune: Determines the fine pitch setting for each Harmony note from −50 cents to
+50 cents.
• Formant: Determines the formant setting for each Harmony note. The higher the
value, the more “feminine” the harmony voice becomes. The lower the value, the more
“masculine” the voice.
•Pan: Determines the pan position setting for each Harmony note. Setting each
Harmony note to a different pan position, with the Lead vocal at center, for example,
results in a naturally wide stereo sound.
•Volume: Determines the volume setting for each Harmony note. Use this to adjust the
relative level balance among the Lead vocal and the Harmony notes.
NOTE When Pitch Correct Mode () is set to OFF the Lead part is not available for the
Transpose/Degree, Detune and Formant parameters.
NOTE The Transpose values of the Harmonies are available only when the Mode ( ) is set to
“Chordal.”

Harmony
Assign
Lets you set how the Harmony notes are assigned or voiced to the Lead note
(microphone sound). For details, refer to “Vocal Harmony Parameter List” in the Data List
(separate PDF).
When the Harmony mode is set to “Chordal”
• Session Table: Determines how the harmonies will be voiced, or what type of chord
will be used in creating the harmonies, according to different musical styles.
NOTE This parameter is available only when the Chordal Type is set to something other than
ScaleDiatonic or Parallel.
• Key Root, Key Type: When the Chordal Type () is set to “ScaleDiatonic,” this
parameter is available. Harmony notes based on the settings here do not depend on
the chord but match the diatonic scale of the current song’s key signature.
When the Harmony mode is set to “Vocoder” or “Vocoder-Mono”
• Transpose Mode: Determines the amount by which the harmony parts are
transposed. A setting of “0” results in no transposition, while the “Auto” setting results in
automatic transposition.
Detail
Setting
• Pitch Correct Mode: Corrects the pitch of the Lead note (microphone sound). “Off”
does not correct while “Hard” corrects the pitch most accurately.
• Humanize: This setting allows you to make the Vocal Harmony sounds more natural
and less “electronic,” by introducing slight time discrepancies between the Lead and
Harmony notes.
Off: No Humanize effect.
1: The Humanize effect is applied to the Harmony to create a more natural feel, with an
authentic-sounding widening effect, giving the impression of more people singing.
2: The Humanize effect is applied to the Harmony to produce a more distinct
groove. Even faster passages retain their rhythmic essence.
3: The Humanize effect is applied to the Harmony to reflect the way in which the
lead vocalist and back chorus interact, with the lead vocal out front, and the timing
slightly relaxed.
• Lead Pitch Detect Speed, Harm Pitch Detect Speed: Determines how fast the
pitch of the Lead note and the harmony notes are detected in response to the signal via
the microphone. “1” responds most slowly, “4” is standard, “15” responds most quickly,
and “as MIC SETTING” gives priority to the speed specified at the Pitch Detect “Speed”
of the Microphone Setting display (page 27).
• Harmony Effect: Determines the Effect type applied to the Harmony notes added to
the Lead note.
• Harmony Stability: Determines the stability degree to which the Harmony is applied
to the Lead note. When set to “Stable,” this has a relatively stable sound with little
harmony motion. When set to “Dynamic,” this tends to add harmony with motion
according to the input sound.
• Lead Vibrato Depth: This specifies the vibrato depth of the lead sound.
• Harm Vibrato Depth: This specifies the vibrato depth of the harmony sound.
•Vibrato Speed: This specifies the vibrato speed of both the lead and harmony
sounds.
•Vibrato Delay: This specifies the vibrato delay of both the lead and harmony sounds.

Assigning a Specific Function to
Each Pedal or ASSIGNABLE button
You can assign various functions to the three pedals of the instrument, instead of the original functions
(damper, sostenuto and soft). Likewise, various functions can be assigned to the Footswitch or Foot Controller
connected to the [AUX PEDAL] jack.
1Select the function for each pedal.
For information about each function, refer to pages 44 – 45.
NOTE You can also assign other functions to the pedal — Punch In/Out of Song (page 89) and Registration Sequence
(page 35). If you assign multiple functions to the pedal, the priority is: Punch In/Out of Song Registration Sequence
Functions assigned here.
2Touch (Setting), then make the detailed settings of the selected functions.
For each Part, you can turn on or off the selected function and adjust the degree to which the selected
function is applied. Depending on the function selected in Step 1, the available parameters differ, or
(Setting) is grayed out indicating that there is no available parameters.
3If necessary, set the polarity of the footswitch or foot controller connected to the
[AUX PEDAL] jack.
Depending on the Footswitch or Foot Controller, it may work in the opposite way (i.e., pressing it has no
effect, but releasing it does). If such a case occurs, use this setting to reverse the polarity.
4If you change the functions of the Center and Left pedals from the default
settings, turn “Switch With Main Voice(Center & Left)” on or off as desired.
When this is set to off, the function assignments of the Center and Left pedals are maintained even if the
Main Voice is changed (page 50).

Assigning a Specific Function to Each Pedal or ASSIGNABLE button
CVP-909/CVP-905 Reference Manual 44
Assignable Pedal Functions
For functions indicated with “*1”, use the right/center/left pedal on the CVP-909 or right pedal on the CVP-905,
or use a foot controller connected to the [AUX PEDAL] jack; proper operation cannot be done with a
footswitch.
For functions indicated with “*2”, they can be assigned also to the ASSIGNABLE [1] – [4] buttons.
Articulation 1 – 3*2 When you use a Super Articulation Voice that has an effect assigned to the pedal/
footswitch, you can enable the effect by pressing the pedal/footswitch.
NOTE Articulation 3 is available only on the CVP-909.
Volume*1 Controls the volume. This function is available only for the foot controller connected to
the instrument’s [AUX PEDAL] jack.
Sustain Controls the sustain. When you press and hold the pedal, all notes played on the
keyboard have a longer sustain. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any
sustained notes. The “Half Pedal Point” parameter allows you to specify how far down
you should press on the pedal until the damper effect starts working. This can be set for
all pedals on the CVP-909, as well as the right pedal and the foot controller connected
to the [AUX PEDAL] jack on the CVP-905.
Sostenuto Controls the Sostenuto effect. If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the
pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held.
However, all subsequent notes will not sustain. This makes it possible to sustain a
chord, for example, while other notes are played staccato.
NOTE This function will not affect any of the Organ Flutes and only some of the Super
Articulation Voices.
Soft Controls the Soft effect. Pressing this pedal reduces the volume and changes the timbre
of the notes you play. This is effective only for certain appropriate Voices. The “Half
Pedal Point” parameter allows you to specify how far down you should press on the
pedal until the soft effect starts working. This can be set for all pedals on the CVP-909,
as well as the right pedal and the foot controller connected to the [AUX PEDAL] jack on
the CVP-905.
Glide When the pedal is pressed, the pitch changes, and then returns to normal pitch when
the pedal is released.
•Up/Down: Determines whether the pitch change goes up (is raised) or down (is
lowered).
•Range: Determines the range of the pitch change, in semitones.
• On Speed: Determines the speed of the pitch change when the pedal is pressed.
•Off Speed: Determines the speed of the pitch change 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). The portamento time can also be adjusted
form the Voice Edit display (page 48). This function does not affect certain Natural
Voices, which would not sound appropriately with this function.
NOTE This function will not affect any of the Organ Flutes, Super Articulation 2 Voices (CVP-909
only) and only some of the Super Articulation Voices.
Pitch Bend*1 Allows you to bend the pitch of notes up or down by using the pedal. This function can
be assigned to all pedals on the CVP-909, as well as the right pedal and the foot
controller connected to the [AUX PEDAL] jack on the CVP-905.
•Up/Down: Determines whether the pitch change goes up (is raised) or down (is
lowered).
•Range: Determines the range of the pitch change, in semitones.
Modulation +/− *1 Applies modulation effects, such as vibrato, to notes played on the keyboard. Moreover,
various effects can be added to the Super Articulation Voice. The effect becomes
deeper when pressing down the pedal or foot controller.
Modulation (Alt) +/− Unlike the Modulation above, pressing the pedal or footswitch alternates the on/off
status of the modulation.

Mono Mono/Poly Determines whether the edited Voice is played monophonically or polyphonically.
Mono Type Determines the behavior of the notes of decaying sounds, such as a guitar, when
they are played with legato with the edited Voice set to “Mono” above.
•Normal: The next note sounds after the previous note is stopped.
• Legato: The sound of the previously played note is maintained and only the
pitch changes to that of the next note.
•Crossfade: The sound smoothly transitions from the previously played note to
the next note.
NOTE This parameter is unavailable for Super Articulation Voices, Drum/SFX Kit Voices and
Organ Flutes Voices, and behaves the same as the “Normal” setting when these
Voices are selected.

Sound
Filter Filter is a processor that changes the timbre or tone of a sound by either blocking or passing a specific
frequency range. The parameters below determine the overall timbre of the sound by boosting or cutting
a certain frequency range. In addition to making the sound either brighter or mellower, Filter can be
used to produce electronic, synthesizer-like effects.
Brightness Determines the cutoff frequency or effective
frequency range of the filter (see diagram).
Higher values result in a brighter sound.
Harmonic
Cont.
(Harmonic
Content)
Determines the emphasis given to the cutoff
frequency (resonance), set in Brightness
above (see diagram). Higher values result in
a more pronounced effect.
EG The EG (Envelope Generator) settings determine how the
level of the sound changes in time. This lets you reproduce
many sound characteristics of natural acoustic instruments
— such as the quick attack and decay of percussion sounds,
or the long release of a sustained piano tone.
Attack Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum level after the key is played.
The lower the value, the quicker the attack.
Decay Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain level (a slightly lower level than
maximum). The lower the value, the quicker the decay.
Release Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after the key is released. The
lower the value, the quicker the decay.
Vibrato Vibrato is a quavering, vibrating sound effect that is produced
by regularly modulating the pitch of the Voice.
Depth Determines the intensity of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings result in a more
pronounced Vibrato.
Speed Determines the speed of the Vibrato effect.
Delay Determines the amount of time that elapses between the playing of a key and the start
of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings increase the delay of the Vibrato onset.
Modulation
(+)/(−)
When the Modulation function is assigned to a pedal (page 44), the pedal can be used to modulate the
parameters below as well as the pitch (vibrato). Here, you can set the degree to which the pedal
modulates each of the following parameters.
Filter Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the Filter Cutoff Frequency. For

Vibrato* Turns on or off the vibrato, and adjusts its depth and speed.
Response Affects both the attack and release (page 49) 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.
Attack Selects “First” or “Each” as the Attack mode and adjusts the Attack length of the
sound.
In the First mode, attack (percussive sound) is applied only to the first notes played
and held simultaneously; while the first notes are held, any subsequently played
notes have no attack applied. In the Each mode, attack is applied equally to all notes.
The Attack length produces a longer or shorter decay immediately after the initial
attack. The longer the value, the longer the decay time.
Footage Determines the basic sound of the organ flutes.

Realtime Recording
Realtime Recording Characteristics in the Style Creator
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 “Clear Drum Inst” (page 57)
“Delete” (pages 57, 58) and “Remove Event” (page 61). 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), you need to delete the original data before recording.
Available Voices for recording
For the Rhythm1 channel, any except Organ Flutes Voices can be used for recording.
For the Rhythm2 channel, only Drum/SFX kits can be used for recording.

Record a phrase in the key of C major (CM7) which will play appropriate notes
as change chords during performance
Guidelines for recording a Main or Fill-in
With the default initial settings, the Source Root/Chord is set to CM7. This means that you should record
a Source Pattern which is to be triggered by specifying CM7 during normal performance. Record a bass
line, phrase or chord backing which you want to hear when CM7 is specified. Specifically, see the
guidelines below.
• Use the notes from the C Ionian scale, which is the primary chord scale of CM7 in the key of C Major—
excepting the following notes, which should be avoided:
- “F” (4th)
- “D” (tension 9th, which doesn’t work with chords with “b9th” or “#9th” in the Style engine)
In other words, use only the notes C, E, G, A, and B (Root, 3rd, 5th, 6th or 13th and Maj7th).
• Use only the chord tones when recording the Chord and Pad channels (i.e., C, E, G, and B).
If you observe these guidelines, Style playback notes are appropriately converted depending on the
chord changes you make during your performance.
Guidelines for recording an Intro or Ending
These Sections are designed assuming that the chord is not changed during playback. This is why you
need not observe the guidelines for Main and Fill-in Sections described above, and you can make the
chord progression in recording. However, you should follow the guidelines below to ensure that your
phrases work well in common situations, since the Source Root/Chord is set to CM7 by default.
• When recording the Intro, make sure that the phrase with the chord progression you record leads
properly into the its tonic chord at the end of the Intro. For example, in the key of C Major, the G7 chord
is commonly used, since it strongly leads back into the tonic chord of the key of C Major.
• When recording the Ending, make sure that the phrase with the chord progression you record resolves
to the original key at the beginning of the Ending. Recommended chords, which resolve to the key
smoothly, are the diatonic chords (i.e., CM7, Dm7, Em7, FM7, G7, Am7, and Bm7(b5) in the key of C
Major).
Set the Source Root/Chord if necessary
Although the default Source Root/Chord is set to CM7 as described above, you can change this to any
desired one in which you can play easily. Call up the “SFF Edit” display, set the Source Root and Chord to
the favorite or desired Root and Chord type. 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,
refer to page 63.
3Press the STYLE CONTROL [ /] (START/STOP) button to start recording.
With the already recorded data playing back, turn each channel on or off by touching as desired.
If necessary, delete a channel by touching [Delete] located under the desired channel.
4As soon as loop playback returns to the first beat in the first measure, start
playing the bass line, chord backing or phrase to be recorded.
5Press the [ /] (START/STOP) button to stop playback.
If you want to add more notes, press the [ /] (START/STOP) button again to continue recording.
To hear the playback sound of the already recorded channels with another
Source Chord/Root:
1) Call up the “SFF Edit” display, then set the “Target Ch” at the top of the display to “Rhythm1” or “Rhythm2.”
2) Touch [Play Root/Chord] to call up the operation display.
3) Press the STYLE CONTROL [ /] (START/STOP) button to start playback.

C = Chord tones
R = Recommended notes
* When recording the Source Pattern, you should use the “C” and “R” notes based on the above, and avoid the others.

4) On the display, set the “Play Root/Chord” to the desired Chord root and Chord type.
This operation lets you hear how the Source Pattern is played back via chord changes during normal
performance.
6Touch and hold the Recording channel for a while (until the button changes
color) to exit from the Recording mode.
The explanations here apply to step 4 on page 54. In the Step Recording (Style Edit) display called up by
touching (Edit) at the upper right of the display, you can record or edit notes one by one. This Step
Recording procedure is essentially the same as that for Song Recording (page 67) 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 fixed for all channels as you set in the “Basic” display
(page 55). For example, if you create a Style of four measures length, the “End” mark position is
automatically set to the end of fourth measure, and cannot be changed in the Style Edit display.
• Recording channels can be changed in the Song Creator’s Edit display; however, they cannot be changed
in the Style Creator. Select the Recording channel in the “Rec channel” display.
• In the Style Creator, Chord, Lyrics, and System Exclusive data cannot be entered. The Channel data can be
entered and System Exclusive data can be edited (delete, copy or move).
The explanations here apply to step 4 on page 54. The “Assembly” display shows that each channel data of
the current Section has been copied from which Style, which Section, and which channel. For each channel,
touch the Style name, Section name, or Channel name in the “Copy From” section as necessary to select the
desired one. Assemble the Style while listening to the Style playback by pressing the STYLE CONTROL [ /
] (START/STOP) button. You can turn each channel on or off by touching the channel button.

The explanations here apply to step 5 on page 54. The “Channel Edit” display lets you edit the already
recorded channel data. Select the Target channel then edit the desired parameters.
After editing the desired parameter, touch [Execute] to actually enter the edits for each setup window. When
execution is completed, this button changes to [Undo], letting you restore the original data if you are not
satisfied with the results. The Undo function only has one level; only the previous operation can be undone.
Channel Edit
Target Ch Select the target channel to be edited. All items with the exception of the “Groove” are to be applied to
the channel specified here.
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 Section.
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.
Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator)
CVP-909/CVP-905 Reference Manual 61
Dynamics This changes the velocity/volume (or accent) of certain notes in the Style playback. The Dynamics
settings can be applied to each channel individually or all channels of the selected Style.
Accent Type Determines the type of accent applied — in other words, which notes are
emphasized.
Strength Determines how strongly the selected Accent Type (above) will be applied. The
higher the value, the stronger the effect.
Expand/
Compress
Expands or compresses the range of velocity values. Values higher than 100%
expand the dynamic range, while values lower than 100% compress it.
Boost/Cut Boosts or cuts all velocity values. Values above 100% boost the overall velocity,
while values below 100% reduce it.

When set to “On,” the settings in this display will be applied to all the channels of
the current Section.
When set to “Off,” the settings in this display will be applied to the channel
specified at the “Target Ch” in the Channel Edit display.

Sixteenth notes with swing
Velocity Boosts or cuts the velocity of all notes in the specified channel, according to the percentage specified
here.
Bar Copy This function allows data to be copied from one measure or group of measures to another location
within the specified channel.
Source Top Specifies the first (Source Top) and last (Source Last) measures in the region to
be copied.
Source Last
Destination Specifies the first measure of the destination location, to which the data is to be
copied.
Bar Clear This function clears all data from the specified range of measures within the selected channel.

These settings determine the original key of the Source Pattern (i.e., the key used when recording
the pattern to the channel other than the Rhythm channels). If you set “Fm7” here, specifying “Fm7”
in the Chord section of the keyboard will play back the originally recorded data (Source Pattern). The
default setting is “CM7” (Source Root = C and Source Chord = M7). Depending on the selected
chord type specified here, the playable notes (scale notes and chord notes) differ. When “Initialize
Style” is executed in the “Basic” display, the default setting of CM7 is automatically selected.
IMPORTANT
Make sure to set the parameters here before recording. If you change the settings after recording,
the recorded Source Pattern cannot be converted to the appropriate notes when changing the
chord during your keyboard performance.
NOTE When the parameters for the selected Target Ch are set to NTR: Root Fixed, NTT Type: Bypass, or NTT

NTR Selects the Note Transposition Rule which determines how the notes in the Source
Pattern are transposed according to the Chord Root change.
Root Trans When the root note is transposed, the interval between notes is
maintained. For example, the notes C3, E3 and G3 in the key of C
become F3, A3 and C4 when they are transposed to F. Use this setting
for channels that contain melody lines.
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.
Guitar This is exclusively for transposing guitar accompaniment. Notes are
transposed to approximate voicings played with natural guitar fingering.

After editing the desired parameter, touch [Execute] to actually enter the edits for each setup window. When
execution is completed, this button changes to [Undo], letting you restore the original data if you are not
satisfied with the results. The Undo function only has one level; only the previous operation can be undone.
Channel Edit — Editing Channel Data
Target Ch Select the target channel to be edited.
Quantize 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 below, you may not play it with absolute precision, and your
performance may have been slightly ahead of or behind the precise timing. Quantize is a convenient
way of correcting for this.
NOTE Unexpected sounds may occur if you quantize a channel which contains MIDI data related to Grand
Expression Modeling.
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 convenient,
since they allow you to quantize two different note values at the same time. For
example, when the straight eighth notes and eighth notes triplet are contained in
the same channel, if you quantize by the straight eighth notes, all notes in the
channel are quantized to straight eighth notes — completely eliminating any triplet
feel. However, if you use the eighth note + eighth note triplet setting, both the
straight and triplet notes will be quantized correctly.

Quantize Strength Determines how strongly the notes will be quantized. A setting of 100% produces
exact timing. If a value less than 100% is selected, notes will be moved toward the
specified quantization beats according to the specified percentage. Applying less
than 100% quantization lets you preserve some of the “human” feel in the
recording.
Delete You can delete the data of the specified channel in the Song. Checkmark (touch) the desired channel
whose data you wish to delete, then touch [Execute] to actually delete the data.
Mix This function lets you mix the data of two channels and place the results in a different channel. It also
lets you copy the data from one channel to another.
NOTE Unexpected sounds may occur if you mix data of a channel which contains MIDI data related to Grand
Expression Modeling.
Source 1 Ch Determines the MIDI channel (1 – 16) to be mixed. All MIDI events of the channel
specified here are copied to the destination channel.
Source 2 Ch Determines the MIDI channel (1 – 16) to be mixed. Note events, P.A.T., CC#19 and
CC#88 of the channel specified here are copied to the destination channel. Besides
the values 1 – 16, there is a “Copy” setting that allows you to copy the data from
Source 1 to the destination channel.
Destination
Ch
Determines the channel into which the mix or copy results will be placed.
Transpose This allows you to transpose the recorded data of individual channels up or down by a maximum of
two octaves in semitone increments.
1-16 Sets the Transpose value for each channel.
All − Decreases the Transpose value for all channels by 1.
All + Increases the Transpose value for all channels by 1.
NOTE Make sure not to transpose channels 9 and 10. In general, Drum kits are assigned to these channels. If
you transpose the channels of Drum kits, the instruments assigned to each key will be changed.
Setup The current settings of the Mixer display and other panel settings can be recorded to the top position
of the Song as the Setup data. The Mixer and panel settings recorded here are automatically recalled
when the Song starts.
Checkmark the items of playback features and functions that you wish to automatically be called up

Setting
Dynamics Control •Off:
The Style volume does not respond to your playing strength.
•Narrow: The Style volume changes over a narrow range in response to your playing
strength. In other words, you must play very strongly or softly to have the volume
change.
•Medium: The Style volume changes normally in response to your playing strength.
•Wide: The Style volume changes over a wide range in response to your playing
strength. In other words, playing strongly or softly produces greater changes in the
volume.
Display Tempo Turns on or off the tempo indication for each Style on the Style Selection display.
Stop ACMP When the [ACMP ON/OFF] button is on, [SYNC START] is off, and this parameter is set
to the value other than “Disabled,” you can play chords in the chord section of the
keyboard with the Style stopped, and still hear the accompaniment chord. In this
condition — called “Stop Accompaniment” — any valid chord fingerings are recognized
and the chord root/type are shown in the Style area of the Home display. Here, you can
determine whether the chord played in the chord section will sound or not in the Stop
Accompaniment status.
•Disabled: Disables the Stop Accompaniment feature. When Style playback is
stopped, any pressed notes in the chord section of the keyboard will not be
recognized as chords.
•Off: The chord played in the chord section will not sound.
•Style: The chord played in the chord section will sound via the Voices for the Pad
part and the Bass channel of the selected Style.
•Fixed: The chord played in the chord section will sound via the specified Voice,
regardless of the selected Style.
NOTE When the selected Style contains MegaVoices, unexpected sounds may result when this
is set to “Style.”
NOTE If you record a Song using the Stop Accompaniment, 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.”
NOTE When this is set to “Disabled,” chords are not recognized while the Style is stopped. This
is why both Vocal Harmony (with the Chordal mode) and Keyboard Harmony are not
applied even if you play a chord in the chord section of the keyboard while the Style is
stopped.

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 canceled. When the [SYNC STOP] button is turned on and this is set to a
value other than “Off,” the Synchro Stop function is automatically canceled 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.
Change Behavior
Section Set Determines the default section that is automatically called up when selecting different
Styles (when Style playback is stopped). When set to “Off” and Style playback is
stopped, the active section is maintained even if the different Style is selected. When
any of the MAIN A–D sections is not included in the Style data, the nearest Section is
automatically selected. For example, when MAIN D is not contained in the selected
Style, MAIN C will be called up.
Tempo This determines whether the tempo changes or not when you change the Style.
• Lock: Regardless of playback status, the tempo setting of the previous Style is
maintained.
• Hold: While the Style is playing back, the tempo setting of the previous Style is
maintained. While the Style is stopped, the tempo changes to that of the default
tempo of the selected Style.
• Reset: Regardless of playback status, the tempo changes to that of the default

Part On/Off This determines whether the Style Channel on/off status changes or not when you
change the Style.
• Lock: Regardless of playback status, the Channel on/off status of the previous Style
is maintained.
• Hold: While the Style is playing back, the Channel on/off status of the previous Style
is maintained. While the Style is stopping, all Channels of the selected Style are set
to on.

•Pro: These Styles provide professional and exciting arrangements combined with perfect playability.
The resulting accompaniment exactly follows the chords of the player. As a result, your chord changes
and colorful harmonies are instantly transformed into lifelike musical accompaniment.
•Session: These Styles provide even greater realism and authentic backing by mixing in original chord
types and changes, as well as special riffs with chord changes, with the Main sections. These have
been programmed to add “spice” and a professional touch to your performances of certain songs and in
certain genres. Keep in mind, however, that the Styles may not necessarily be appropriate or even
harmonically correct for all songs and for all chord playing. In some cases for example, playing a simple
major triad for a country song may result in a “jazzy” seventh chord, or playing an on-bass chord may
result in inappropriate or unexpected accompaniment.
•Free Play: These Styles are characterized by rubato performance. You can perform freely with
remarkably expressive accompaniment without being constrained by a strict tempo.
•Pianist: These special Styles provide piano-only accompaniment. Just by playing the proper chords
with your left hand, you can automatically add complicated, professional-sounding arpeggios and bass/
chord patterns.

Fine Tuning the Pitch
CVP-909/CVP-905 Reference Manual 93
1Select the desired Scale type (temperament).
You can select one of various scales for playing in custom tunings for specific historical periods or music
genres.
2Change the following settings as necessary.
To store the Scale Tune settings:
If you want to store the Scale Tune settings, use the Registration Memory. Press the REGISTRATION
MEMORY [MEMORY] button, then checkmark “Scale Tune” and press one of the REGISTRATION MEMORY
[1] – [8] buttons to register the Scale Tune settings.
Type • Equal: The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with each
half-step evenly spaced in pitch. This is the most commonly used tuning in music today.
• Pure Major, Pure Minor: These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of
each scale, especially for triad chords (root, third, fifth). You can hear this best in actual
vocal harmonies — such as choirs and a cappella singing.
• Pythagorean: This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and is created
from a series of perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this
tuning are slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some leads.
• Mean-Tone: This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by
making the major third interval more “in tune.” It was especially popular from the 16th
century to the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale.
• Werckmeister, Kirnberger: This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and
Kirnberger systems, which were themselves improvements on the mean-tone and
Pythagorean scales. The main feature of this scale is that each key has its own unique
character. The scale was used extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven, and
even now it is often used when performing period music on the harpsichord.
• Arabic1, Arabic2: Use these tunings when playing Arabic music.
Base Note Determines the base note for each scale. When the base note is changed, the pitch of the
keyboard is transposed, yet maintains the original pitch relationship between the notes.
Tune [cent] Select the desired note to be tuned and tune it in cents. If you edit this parameter,
“(Edited)” is shown at the right of “Type” in step 1.
NOTE In musical terms a “cent” is 1/100th of a semitone. (100 cents equal one semitone.)
(Parts) Checkmark the part to which the Scale Tune setting is applied.

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 With this setting, only the Song channels 1 – 16 are transmitted from this instrument via the
corresponding channel numbers 1 – 16 respectively. This is used to play Song data with an
external tone generator and to record Song data to an external sequencer.
Clock Ext
(Clock External)
Playback or recording (Song, Style, etc.) synchronizes with an external MIDI clock instead
of the instrument’s internal clock. This template should be used when you wish to set the
tempo on the MIDI device connected to the instrument.
MIDI Accord1
(MIDI Accordion 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 control the
keyboard performance and Style playback from a MIDI Accordion.
MIDI Accord2
(MIDI Accordion 2)
Basically the same as “MIDI Accord1” above, with the exception that the chord/bass notes
you play with your left hand on a MIDI Accordion are recognized also as MIDI note events.
MIDI Pedal1 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 Pedal2 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.
System – MIDI System Related Settings
Clock Determines whether the instrument is controlled by its own internal clock (“Internal”) or a
MIDI clock (“MIDI,” “USB1,” “USB2,” and “Wireless LAN”) 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,” “USB 2,” or
“Wireless LAN.” In this case, make sure that the external device is connected properly
(e.g., to the instrument’s MIDI IN terminal), and that it is properly transmitting a MIDI clock
signal. When this is set for control by an external device (“MIDI,” “USB1,” “USB2,” or
“Wireless LAN”), the Tempo is indicated as “Ext.” in the Tempo display.
NOTE If the Clock is set other than “Internal,” the Style, Song, Metronome and Tempo cannot be
controlled by the buttons on this instrument.
NOTE “Wireless LAN” is shown only when the USB Wireless LAN adaptor (UD-WL01) is connected
to this instrument.
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.
Transpose MIDI Input Determines whether or not the instrument’s transpose setting is applied to the note events
received from the external device via MIDI.
Start/Stop Determines whether incoming FA (start) and FC (stop) messages affect Song or Style
playback.

The explanations here apply when you call up the “Transmit” display in step 2 on page 96. This determines
which MIDI channel is used for each part when MIDI data is transmitted from this instrument.
1For each Part, select the MIDI Transmit Channel with which the MIDI data of the
corresponding Part is to be transmitted.
With the exception of the two parts below, the configuration of the parts is the same as those already
explained elsewhere in the Owner’s Manual.
•Upper: A keyboard part played on the right side of the keyboard from the Left Split Point.
•Lower: A keyboard part played on the left side of the keyboard from the Left Split Point. This is not
affected by the on/off status of the [ACMP ON/OFF] button.
NOTE 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 connected MIDI device.
NOTE Protected Songs cannot be transmitted even if the proper Song channels 1 – 16 are set to be transmitted.
Local Control Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When Local Control is set to “On,” the
keyboard of the instrument controls its own (local) internal tone generator, allowing the
internal Voices to be played directly from the keyboard. If you set Local Control to “Off,” the
keyboard and controllers are internally disconnected from the instrument’s tone generator
section so that no sound is output when you play the keyboard or use the controllers. For
example, this allows you to use an external MIDI sequencer to play the instrument’s
internal Voices, and use the instrument keyboard to record notes to the external sequencer
and/or play an external tone generator.
