IMPORTANT

Check Your Power Supply

Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches

the voltage specified on the name plate on the bottom

panel. In some areas a voltage selector may be

provided on the bottom panel of the main keyboard

unit near the power cord. Make sure that the voltage

selector is set for the voltage in your area. The voltage

selector is set at 240V when the unit is initially shipped.

To change the setting use a “minus” screwdriver to

rotate the selector dial so that the correct voltage

appears next to the pointer on the panel.

CVP-201

• 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.

• 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 operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncom-

fortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you

experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

■ Using the bench (If included)

• Do not place the bench in an unstable position where it might accidentally

fall over.

• Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or step-

ladder or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury.

• Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the

possibility of accident or injury.

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

them periodically using the included tool.

■ Saving data

• Internal backed-up data (see page 152) is retained for about 1 week after the

power is turned off. If the period is exceeded, the data will be lost. Be sure to

turn the power switch on for a few minutes at least once a week. The data

could be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Save important data

to a floppy disk (see page 139).

• To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that

you save your important data onto two floppy disks.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use

or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

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.

• 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-con-

nector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause over-

heating in the outlet.

• Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly pro-

cess. Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might re-

sult 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 inter-

nal 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 acciden-

tally fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.

• Do not place the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3 cm/one-inch

from the wall), since this can cause inadequate air circulation, and possibly

result in the instrument overheating.

• 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.

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not

use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wip-

ing cloths.

• 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.

guarantees that any data conforming to the standard will play

accurately on any GM-compatible tone generator or synthesizer

from any manufacturer.

XG Format

XG is a new Yamaha MIDI specification which significantly ex-

pands and improves on the “GM System Level 1” standard with

greater voice handling capacity, expressive control, and effect

capability while retaining full compatibility with GM. By using the

Clavinova’s XG voices, it is possible to record XG-compatible

song files.

XF Format

The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File)

standard with greater functionality and open-ended expandability

for the future. The Clavinova is capable of displaying lyrics when

an XF file containing lyric data is played. (SMF is the most com-

mon format used for MIDI sequence files. The Clavinova is com-

patible with SMF Formats 0 and 1, and records “song” data using

SMF Format 0.)

About This Manual

CVP-201

■ 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 even-

tually cause read and write errors.

● To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order

Yamaha recommends that you use a commercially-

available dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the

head about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer

about the availability of proper head-cleaning disks.

● Never open or close the key cover while a disk is

extending from the drive (i.e. in the ejected position).

The key cover may contact the disk,– possibily dam-

aging the disk or even the disk drive.

● Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk

drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk

drive or floppy disks.

■ About the Floppy Disks...................................

To handle floppy disks with care:

● Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or

apply pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep

floppy disks in their protective cases when they are

not in use.

● Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely

high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust

or liquids.

● Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the ex-

posed surface of the floppy disk inside.

● Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as

those produced by televisions, speakers, motors,

etc., since magnetic fields can partially or completely

erase data on the disk, rendering it unreadable.

● Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or

housing.

● Do not attach anything other than the provided labels

to a floppy disk. Also make sure that labels are at-

tached 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).

Data backup

For maximum data security Yamaha

recommends that you keep two copies of

important data on separate floppy disks.

This gives you a backup if one disk is lost

or damaged. To make a backup disk use

the Disk Copy function on page 142.

■ Inserting/Ejecting Floppy Disks .............

To insert 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.

Handling the Floppy Disk

Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks

● Precautions

Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with

care. Follow the important precautions below.

● Compatible Disk Type

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

To eject a floppy disk:

Before ejecting the disk, be sure to confirm that the

FDD is stopped (check if the [DISK IN USE] lamp is off).

Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go; the disk

will automatically pop out. When the disk is fully ejected,

carefully remove it by hand.

DISK IN USE lamp

Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off

during recording, reading and playing back. Doing so can

damage the disk and possibly the disk drive.

If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it is not

pressed in as far as it will go, the disk may not eject prop-

erly. The eject button may become stuck in a half-pressed

position with the disk extending from the drive slot by only

a few millimeters. If this happens, do not attempt to pull

out the partially ejected disk, since using force in this

situation can damage the disk drive mechanism or the

floppy disk. To remove a partially ejected disk, try pressing

the eject button once again, or push the disk back into the

slot and then repeat the eject procedure.

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.

Grand Piano and the accompaniment style 8 Beat 1 are selected.)

The power lamp below the lower left end of the keyboard also lights.

C Adjust the LCD.

If the LCD is difficult to read, adjust the contrast with the [CON-

TRAST] knob at the left of the LCD.

V Adjust the volume.

Use the [MASTER VOLUME] slider to adjust the volume to an ap-

propriate level.

● When you’re ready to turn off the power, press the [POWER] switch

again. Both the LCD display and the power lamp below the left end

of the keyboard will turn off.

Connect a set of stereo headphones (optional) to the [PHONES] jack.

When headphones are connected, the internal speaker system is auto-

matically shut off. Since the Clavinova has two PHONES jacks, two sets

of headphones can be used simultaneously, allowing two people to enjoy

listening to the performance.

Standard stereo

phone jacks

Your Clavinova is equipped with a variety of jacks and terminals that

let you connect it to other audio and MIDI equipment. These connectors

are located at the left end of the unit on the rear panel.

You can connect other instruments that you want to play through the

Clavinova’s speakers to the AUX IN jacks, or output the Clavinova’s

sound to external speakers using the AUX OUT jacks. Use the MIDI

terminals if you want the Clavinova to control — or be controlled by —

another MIDI instrument. There’s even a TO HOST terminal that lets

you connect the Clavinova directly to a personal computer.

Be sure to turn the power off when connecting or disconnecting other

equipment. See the instructions in Chapter 9 of this manual for details.

You will refer to the LCD display frequently as you operate your

Clavinova. This section consists of a short tutorial that will help

you learn how to read the LCD display and use the related

controls.

Many of the Clavinova’s functions are displayed at the bottom of the

LCD. The main display shown below contains two functions: KBD VOL

and RIGHT1 VOICE. These items are displayed in rounded rectangles,

which means they represent settings that can be changed.

Selecting a Function

Main display

Remember, the

main display

is the dis-

play that appears first when you turn the

power on.

Before you can change a function’s setting, however, you have to select it

first. In the main display, the RIGHT1 VOICE function is highlighted, indi-

cating that this function is currently selected.

Highlighted items

Selected items are

highlighted

(i.e., white

letters on a dark background).

To select a function, press and quickly release the LCD button directly

below that function. For example, you can select KBD VOL by pressing the

leftmost LCD button.

LCD buttons

The five LCD buttons under the LCD

display represent different functions,

depending on the contents of the display.

CHAPTER 2: Basic Operation

Using the LCD Display Controls

Press to select.

CVP-201

There are several ways to change a function’s value. Here are two of the

main ways:

■ Using the data dial or [–] and [+] buttons.................................

Once you have selected a function, you can change its setting with the

data dial or the [–] and [+] buttons. Since you have just selected KBD

VOL, try turning the dial or pressing the [–] button until it reads 0.

Changing a Setting

You can press the [–] and [+] buttons

repeatedly to change the value a little, or

hold them down to change it quickly.

The KBD VOL function sets the keyboard volume. When you set it to

0, you will find that the keyboard won’t produce any sound, no matter

how high you set the [MASTER VOLUME] slider!

Refer to page 23 for details on the KBD

VOL function.

■ Using the LCD buttons..................................................................................

You can also increase a setting by simply pressing and holding the

corresponding LCD button. For now, since you’ll want to hear your key-

board later on, press and hold the leftmost LCD button until the value for

KBD VOL is back up to 127.

This is why you should release the LCD

button quickly when you select a func-

tion: you could end up raising its value

when you want to lower it!

Once you’ve got the keyboard volume back where it belongs, you can

learn about a couple of other ways to change settings.

Hold down to increase.

Using the LCD Display Controls

CVP-201

You can use either of the methods described previously to change the current voice

selection. Just press RIGHT1 VOICE and hold the button down, or use the data dial or

the [+] button to scan through the options. Try listening to a few of the voices while

you’re at it…

Changing a Setting in a Menu Display

Voice

A voice is one of the sounds

the Clavinova uses to make

music.

The problem with this method is that it can be hard to find the voice you’re looking

for — after all, the Clavinova has more than 600 voices! So you’ll probably want to use

a menu display to see what your choices are. Try pressing the [PIANO] button now.

When you press one of the VOICE buttons, the LCD displays a new set of

functions listing the voices of that type. You should now be looking at a menu of

piano voices.

■ Using the LCD buttons.................................................................................................

Each piano voice in this display is listed as a separate function in a rounded rectan-

gle. This means that you can use the LCD buttons to select voices, just like you did to

select the KBD VOL and RIGHT1 VOICE functions at the beginning of this tutorial.

Menu displays

You will use menu displays for

only two purposes: to select a

voice, as shown here, or to

select an accompaniment style

(page 49).

Keep in mind that you can use the data dial or [–] and [+] buttons to select

functions only when viewing a menu display. In other displays, these controls

will change the value of the currently selected function instead.

Try selecting different piano voices in this display before you move on to the

next step.

Using the LCD Display Controls

Refer to page 29 for more

details about selecting voices.

Use the data dial or

[–] and [+] buttons to

select a voice.

PIANO E. PIANO GUITAR

SYNTHE-

SIZER

■ Using the data dial or [–] and [+] buttons................................................

There is another way to select voices in this display. You can use the data dial

or the [–] and [+] buttons to change the selection. Press [–] or turn the data dial

counterclockwise to select a voice to the left; press [+] or turn the dial clockwise

to select a voice to the right.

Press an LCD button to select the corresponding voice.

CVP-201

Using the LCD Display Controls

As you were trying out the piano voices in the preceding step, you

may have been surprised to see all the voice names suddenly replaced by

an entirely different set of voices. Specifically, this occurs when you se-

lect the rightmost voice in the display (Midi Grand), then turn the data

dial clockwise or press the [+] button.

Displaying a Different Page

Display pages

Some displays are divided into two or

more pages, indicated by a series of

overlapping boxes in the upper right

corner of the display. The number in the

topmost box is the number of the current

display page.

This happens because the CVP-201 has more piano voices than it can

fit in the display. When one of the Clavinova’s features includes more

functions than will fit in the display, the functions are divided among two

or more display pages. The VOICE SELECT Piano display consists of

two display pages, as shown below:

When a display is divided into pages, you can use PAGE buttons to

change pages. Try it: press the [<] button to see page 1, or the [>] but-

ton to see page 2. Once you have displayed the desired page, you can use

the LCD buttons select a voice in that page as described in the preceding

step.

Refer to page 138 for details about the

functions on the FUNCTION [PEDAL]

display page.

PAG E

Use the PAGE buttons to switch between pages.

After you have changed a function’s value, you may find you want to

restore its basic setting. To demonstrate this, we’ll have to look at another of

the Clavinova’s displays. Press the [FUNCTION] button.

Resetting a Function’s Value

Basic settings

• The functions of the Clavinova are set

to certain standard values or standard

conditions when the instrument is

shipped. These settings and conditions

are called the basic settings.

• A function’s basic settings are gener-

ally noted in the sidebar together with

the possible settings for that function.

• You can also use the Recall function

(page 153) to restore basic settings at

any time.

This button calls up one of the Clavinova’s FUNCTION displays. You

can use this display to tune and transpose the keyboard.

Refer to page 136 for details on the

TUNE and TRANSPOSE functions.

The TUNE function in this display corresponds to two LCD buttons

labeled ▼ and ▲. You can use these buttons to tune the keyboard up or

down. Press and hold the ▼ button (or use the data dial or the [–] button)

to tune the keyboard down as far as it will go.

MIXER

FUNCTION

CVP-201

If you look at the upper right corner of the LCD, you’ll notice that the

FUNCTION display consists of several display pages. Press the PAGE [>]

key once to open the next page, which is titled FUNCTION [KEYBOARD

2]. We’ll use the functions on this page to discuss the next operation.

In addition to the FIXED VELOCITY function, which is selected in this

display, the FUNCTION [KEYBOARD 2] page has two functions in normal

rectangles: KEY TOUCH and VOICE SETTING. Such functions cannot be

selected; instead, pressing the corresponding LCD button changes the setting

directly without selecting the function.

Using Functions in Non-rounded Rectangles

Using the LCD Display Controls

The FIXED VELOCITY function is de-

scribed on page 137.

If you play a few notes, you’ll notice that your Clavinova is flat by quite

a bit. Now, let’s assume that you want to reset the keyboard to the standard

440.0 Hz. You could use the ▲ button (or the data dial, or the [

] button) to

return the value to its basic setting — but there’s an easier way:

When a function has a basic setting, you can reset it to that value by

pressing both the ▲ and ▼ buttons (or both the [–] and [+] buttons) simul-

taneously. Try doing this now.

There are some functions whose settings

cannot be returned to the basic value by

pressing the

▲

and

▼

buttons (or [–] and

[+] buttons) simultaneously.

When you’ve got the keyboard back in tune, you’re ready to go on to the

next operation.

CVP-201

By pressing the LCD button under KEY TOUCH, for example, you can

set the Clavinova’s response to how hard you play. The value displayed in

the rectangle switches from NORMAL to SOFT, then FIXED, then HARD

— but the FIXED VELOCITY function remains selected.

For more details on the KEY TOUCH

function, refer to page 137.

The VOICE SETTING function determines whether reverb, chorus,

effect, and other settings are automatically selected when a voice is se-

lected. It works a little differently: when you press the LCD button, the

highlighted setting switches between AUTO and MANUAL. Still,

FIXED VELOCITY remains selected.

To exit the current display, press the [EXIT] button.

Exiting to the Main Display

You can usually use [EXIT] to get back to

the main display. In some cases, how-

ever, this button will return you to a previ-

ous setting display instead. When this

happens, pressing [EXIT] again will get

you back to the main display.

The main display should show the name of the last piano voice that you

selected in the VOICE SELECT Piano display.

Using the LCD Display Controls

For more details on the VOICE SETTING

function, refer to page 137.

There are other sorts of functions that are displayed in non-rounded

rectangles, like the ones you used to select a demo song in Demo mode

(see page 14). The important thing to remember about these functions is

that you don’t select them, you execute them.

Now we’re ready to return to the main display. First, however, set the

KEY TOUCH and VOICE SETTING functions back to NORMAL and

AUTO, respectively.

EXIT

The last function we need to discuss is Direct Access. The [DIRECT AC-

CESS] button lets you jump directly to pages with particularly useful settings.

When you press [DIRECT ACCESS], the “Press a button to display

corresponding settings” message will appear in the LCD display.

Using the Direct Access Function

DIRECT ACCESS

CVP-201

This message will remain onscreen for about three seconds. Press the

button corresponding to the settings you want to display before the mes-

sage disappears.

Here is a list of pages you can access with Direct Access:

You can also press an appropriate button

while holding down the [DIRECT AC-

CESS] button.

● A Word about Messages

For ease of operation, the Clavinova displays various messages (like the message displayed by the Direct

Access function as described above) that either prompt you to the next operation, ask for confirmation, or in-

form you that the last operation is not effective, valid, or appropriate. When such messages appear, follow the

instructions as shown. For details about each message, please refer to the “Messages” section on page 165.

● Saving Your Changes

Now that you’ve started learning how to change the Clavinova’s settings, you may be wondering whether it

will remember the changes you’ve made even after you’ve turned the power off. The answer is yes — but you

need to tell it which settings you want it to remember.

By default, the Clavinova will not remember most of your setting changes. You have two ways to tell it which

settings you want to remember:

• You can register your settings with the Registration function (page 89). Once you have registered your

settings, you can restore them at any time by pressing a couple of buttons.

• You can instruct the Clavinova to remember certain settings when the power is off, and recall these set-

tings when you turn the power back on. To do this, you need to change the settings of the Backup function

(page 152).

CVP-201

The Clavinova has two sliders that let you adjust the overall volume

and the accompaniment or song playback volume. There are also

settings that you can use to adjust the keyboard volume and the

volume of each part of the automatic accompaniment or song.

Adjusting the Overall Volume

Use the [MASTER VOLUME]

slider to set the overall volume of

the Clavinova.

• The [MASTER VOLUME] slider also

determines the output level of the

signal at the [PHONES] jack.

• Signals input to the AUX IN jacks are

also affected by the [MASTER VOL-

UME] setting; however, signals output

via the AUX OUT jacks are not.

Use the [ACMP/SONG VOL-

UME] slider to set the playback

volume of the automatic accompa-

niment and songs.

Adjusting the Accompaniment or Song Volume

This control has no effect on the volume

of your keyboard performance.

Select KBD VOL in the main

display, then use the data dial or

the [–] and [+] buttons to change

the keyboard volume.

Using the Pedals

The Clavinova has three pedals.

• Certain voices in the [PERCUSSION]

and [XG] groups may not be affected

by use of the damper pedal.

• Some voices may sound continuously

or have a long decay after the notes

have been released while the damper

pedal is held.

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

pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will be sustained as long as

the pedal is held, but all subsequently played notes will not be sustained.

This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes

are played staccato.

• Certain voices in the [PERCUSSION]

and [XG] groups may not be affected

by use of the sostenuto pedal.

• Certain voices, such as [STRINGS] or

[BRASS], sustain continuously when

the sostenuto pedal is pressed.

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.

Damper Pedal (Right)

Sostenuto Pedal (Center)

Soft Pedal (Left)

Pressing this pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of

the notes you play.

You can also assign one of many other functions to this pedal; for exam-

ple, you can use it to start/stop the Automatic Accompaniment, or use it to

play Fill Ins. See page 138 for details.

The effect of the soft pedal may differ

slightly depending on the selected voice.

CHAPTER 4:

Reverb and Other Effects

Reverb

Reverb ON/OFF

Basic setting: Depends on voice.

➔ The lamp lights.

The setting of the [REVERB] button has

no effect on Song mode or Auto Accom-

paniment playback.

To turn the reverb off, press [REVERB] again.

➔ The lamp turns off.

Because the basic setting of the [REVERB] button depends on the

voice, the reverb may turn on or off automatically when you select a dif-

ferent voice.

To apply reverb to the keyboard part(s), press the [REVERB] button.

Reverb is an effect that recreates the acoustic ambiance of a

performance space — anything from a room in a jazz club to a

concert hall. The Clavinova lets you choose from a variety of

reverb effects; you can also set the depth of any reverb effect to

your preference.

Use the TYPE ▲ and ▼ buttons to change the reverb type, or select

the TYPE function and use the data dial or the [–] and [+] buttons.

➔ The selected reverb type is highlighted.

Because the basic setting of the reverb type depends on the accompa-

niment style, the reverb type may change automatically when you select

a different style.

• The reverb type selection affects all

voices played by the keyboard or Auto

Accompaniment. Different settings

cannot be made for each part.

• Depending on the selected voice, the

depth of the effect may sound stronger

or weaker, even though the same

reverb type is selected.

• The reverb effect cannot be applied to

the sounds input through the AUX IN

[R] and [L/L+R] jacks.

• It is also possible to apply reverb ef-

fects to the keyboard voices using the

[EFFECT] button. See the Effect Type

List on page 46 for details.

• If both the [REVERB] and [EFFECT]

buttons are turned on, both effects will

be applied.

■ Setting the Total Depth ................................................................................

The overall depth of the selected reverb effect can be set using the

TOTAL DEPTH function in the REVERB display.

Z Select the TOTAL DEPTH function.

➔ The TOTAL DEPTH function is highlighted.

The amount of reverb that is applied to a

part depends on both the part depth and

TOTAL DEPTH settings. If one of the

settings is 0, no reverb will be applied to

that part even if the other setting is 127.

Because the basic settings of the LEFT, RIGHT1, and RIGHT2 func-

tions depend on the voices selected, a reverb depth setting may

change automatically when you select a different part.

■ Setting the Reverb Depth for Each Part....................................

The settings in the REVERB DEPTH display (page 42) let you set the

reverb depth separately for the rhythm and accompaniment parts, as well

as the parts you play from the keyboard.

CVP-201

Changing the Chorus Settings

Unlike the reverb (page 41) and other effects (page 46), which can be

turned on or off using the appropriate panel buttons, the chorus feature is

always considered to be “on.” How chorus is applied to any given voice

depends on the current chorus type and depth settings. You can change

these settings using the functions in the CHORUS display page.

Chorus

The Clavinova’s chorus effects let you modify the voices you play

from the keyboard, adding warmth for an even richer sound.

Flanger effects add pronounced modulation, for a spacy futuris-

tic quality. You can choose from a variety of chorus and flanger

effects, and set the depth of the effect added to each keyboard

voice.

■ Displaying the Chorus Settings........................................................

Z Press [DIRECT ACCESS], then [REVERB].

➔ The LCD displays either the REVERB page or the REVERB

X Press the PAGE [>] button once or twice, as needed.

• You can also press [DIRECT AC-

CESS] followed by [EFFECT], then

special effects. You can adjust the depth of the effect as desired.

To apply the effect to the keyboard parts, press the [EFFECT] button.

Turning the Effects On

Effect ON/OFF

Basic setting: Depends on voice.

➔ The lamp lights.

When the effect system is also used by

an accompaniment style or song, the

effect being applied to the keyboard

part(s) may automatically be turned off

when you start the Auto Accompaniment

or select the song for playback, depend-

ing on the effect type selected by the

style or song. If this happens, you may

be able to apply the effect to the key-

board part(s) by pressing the [EFFECT]

button - again, this depends on the se-

lected effect type. If you do so, the effect

will not be applied to voices played by the

Accompaniment Styles

Selecting Accompaniment Styles

The Clavinova has a wide variety of musical “styles” that you can use for simple

percussion accompaniment, or as the basis of a fully orchestrated accompaniment

— including bass and rhythm parts — using the Auto Accompaniment feature (page

57). There is also a selection of “Pianist” styles that let you play with piano

accompaniment when you activate the Auto Accompaniment.

Selecting a Style

● Style Types

• Rhythm styles: 125

• Pianist styles: 35

• Custom styles: 4

* For information on the styles, see the Style List on page 10 in the Refer-

ence Booklet.

* The Clavinova’s styles are divided into eleven groups, corresponding to

the eleven STYLE buttons on the panel.

* The PIANIST styles and Guitar Waltz in the TRAD/WALTZ style group

do not include drum sounds. Use the Auto Accompaniment (page 58) to

play these styles.

Z Select an accompaniment style group......................................

Disk and Custom Styles

The [DISK/CUSTOM] button lets you use

styles on optional Style File Disks (page

86) or your original styles (page 73) .

Select the desired style group by pressing the appropriate STYLE

button.

➔ The corresponding STYLE SELECT display appears.

• The last selected style in each group

can be retained in memory, even after

turning off the power, when the Backup

function (page 152) is set to ON.

• When the power is turned on, the 8

Beat 1 style is automatically selected.

However, if the Backup function (page

152) is set to ON, the last selected

style will be selected instead.

Each of the Clavinova’s styles has four variations, corresponding to

the AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT buttons labeled as [MAIN A], [MAIN

B], [MAIN C], and [MAIN D].

Varying the Style

Use these buttons to select style variations.

Main A is generally the most rudimentary form of the style; the other

variations are more or less lavish embellishments on the same basic

theme. By judiciously switching between variations as you play, you can

add variety and make the performance more interesting.

■ Selecting a Variation ........................................................................................

You can select a style variation before you start playing the style. To

select a variation, simply press the corresponding button.

The Clavinova will begin playing the selected style variation when

you start the style using one of the methods described in the next section.

■ Playing Fill-in Patterns ..................................................................................

Fill-in patterns

A “fill-in pattern” is a embellishment of the

basic rhythm, usually played at the end of

a musical phrase as an exciting transition

into the next segment.

If you select a different style variation while the style is playing, the

Clavinova will play an automatic fill-in pattern as it switches to the new

variation. The fill-in pattern, like the main pattern, is different for each

variation.

To change the variation while the style is playing, press the button

corresponding to the new variation.

Using the Pedals

You can also use the left pedal to pause

the style or play a special fill-in pattern by

setting the LEFT PEDAL function (page

138) to BREAK or BREAK FIL.

➔ The button’s lamp flashes as the Clavinova plays the fill-in pattern.

Generally speaking, the Clavinova will start the fill-in pattern soon

after you press the button. If you select a variation after the last eighth

note of a measure, however, it will begin the fill-in pattern from the start

of the next measure.

➔ When the fill-in pattern is finished, the button’s lamp lights steadily

as the Clavinova plays the main pattern.

The auto fill-in feature provides an exciting transition as you switch

from one variation to another. If Main A is playing and you press [MAIN

B], for example, the Clavinova will play Fill-in B, then start playing

Main B.

You can also play fill-in patterns without

selecting a different variation. Just press

the button for the variation that is playing.

The Clavinova will play the fill-in for that

variation, then return to the main pattern.

■ More Fun With Fill-ins ....................................................................................

● Changing the Fill-in

It is possible to switch variations while a fill-in pattern is playing. The

Clavinova will switch to the fill-in pattern for the new variation, then

continue with the new main pattern as usual.

● Repeating the Fill-in

If you hold down the flashing button, or press it after the last eighth

note of the measure while the fill-in pattern is playing, the fill-in pat-

tern will be repeated.

● Canceling the Fill-in

If you press the flashing button earlier than the last eighth note of the

measure while the fill-in pattern is playing, the Clavinova will stop

playing the fill-in pattern and continue with the main pattern.

Starting the Accompaniment Style

There are several ways to start the accompaniment style, as described

below:

■ Standard Start.........................................................................................................

This is the simplest way to start a style. If necessary, select a variation

The Clavinova includes a sophisticated Auto Accompaniment

system that can provide automated rhythm, bass and chord

backing for your performance in 125 different styles, as well as

35 different types of piano-only accompaniment.

The Auto Accompaniment playback data is normally not output by the

MIDI [OUT] terminal. To send the Auto Accompaniment data to another

MIDI instrument, use the ACMP&RHY and HARMONY functions in the

FUNCTION [MIDI 4] display described on page 150.

You can use one of several methods to indicate the chords that are to

be played by the Auto Accompaniment. Choose the accompaniment

mode that best suits your playing style.

Using the Auto Accompaniment

Detailed explanations of each accompa-

niment mode are given on pages 60 and

61.

● Single Finger

The Single Finger method makes it easy to obtain accompaniment in

major, seventh, minor, and minor-seventh chords by pressing certain keys

(according to simple rules) to the left of the split point indicated by the

keyboard guide lamp. (See page 60.)

● Multi Finger

When you select the Multi Finger mode, you can use either the Single

Finger method or the Fingered 1 method to indicate chords for the ac-

companiment. (See page 60.)

● Fingered 1

The Fingered 1 method lets you control the Auto Accompaniment by

playing full chords to the left of the split point. (See page 60.)

● Fingered 2

This mode accepts the same fingerings as the Fingered 1 mode, with

the exception that the lowest note played to the left of the split point is

used as the bass root (in Fingered 1 mode, the root of the chord is always

used as the bass root). Hence, you can select this mode to play “on bass”

or “fraction” chords. (See page 61.)

● Full Keyboard

The Full Keyboard mode automatically produces appropriate auto-

matic accompaniment for virtually anything you play, anywhere on the

keyboard. (See page 61.)

Accompaniment Modes

• The Clavinova displays the names of

the chords you play at the left edge of

the main display, below the tempo.

• The same accompaniment continues

(even after you release the chord in

the left range) until you play the next

chord.

■ Single Finger Chords

The following four chord types can be played in Single Finger mode:

The illustration below shows the key

corresponding to each root note.

• Major

Press the root note of the chord.

• Minor [m]

Simultaneously press the root note of the chord and any

black key to the left of it.

• Seventh [7]

Simultaneously press the root note of the chord and any

white key to the left of it.

• Minor Seventh [m7]

Simultaneously press the root note of the chord and any

white and black keys to the left of it (three keys at once).

Two-note fingerings will produce a chord

based on the previously played chord.

● Fingered 1

To control the Auto Accompaniment, play any chord in the left range

of the keyboard (below and including the split point). Play the melody in

the right range along with the Auto Accompaniment.

• The automatic accompaniment will

sometimes not change when related

chords are played in sequence (e.g.

some minor chords followed by the

minor seventh).

• If the Clavinova cannot recognize a

chord you play, an asterisk “ * ” will

appear instead of the chord name in

the display.

• Drums-only accompaniment can be

produced by pressing any three con-

secutive keys (e.g., C, C

, D) simulta-

neously. This lets you create dynamic

“drum breaks” in the accompaniment.

A series of dashes “- - -” will appear

instead of a chord name in the display.

● Multi Finger

This method allows you to control the Auto Accompaniment using

either the Single Finger method (described above) or the Fingered 1

method (described below). However, when indicating minor, seventh or

minor seventh chords, it is necessary to play the white key and/or black

key nearest the root note of the chord.

Playing with the Auto Accompaniment

● Single Finger

To control the Auto Accompaniment, press one, two, or three keys in

the left range of the keyboard (below and including the split point), fol-

lowing the rules described below. Play the melody in the right range

• Playback of the custom style can be

started and stopped by pressing the

[START/STOP] button. (Data cannot

be recorded while playback is

stopped.)

• All notes are automatically stopped at

the end of the style (i.e., at the point

between repeats when recording). It is

therefore not advisable to record over

this point.

You can now record new notes in the selected part by playing the

keyboard at the appropriate timing. Record non-percussion parts in C

major seventh (CM7), since the custom style is recorded as a C major

seventh pattern.

If you want to create a totally new part from scratch, press the

CLEAR LCD button to clear the selected part before beginning to

record. If both the R1 and R2 parts are cleared, the metronome will

sound to provide a timing guide. (The metronome sound is not re-

corded, and will stop as soon as the custom style is stored.)

Creating Your Own Styles

When recording a drum kit voice in part R1 or R2, you can clear a

single drum instrument from the part by pressing the key corresponding

to the instrument to be cleared while holding down the C1 key on the

keyboard. (The C1 key is labeled “CANCEL.”) The metronome timing

guide can also be cleared in this way.

Another useful recording aid is the SOLO LCD button: when this

button is pressed and highlighted, only the selected part will sound. Press

the SOLO button again to turn the solo function off and hear all parts in

the selected section.

play the function, then press the middle LCD button to select the

quantize size:

Once the required quantize size has been selected, press the START

LCD button to quantize the current part. The part will begin to play using

the new timing, and the START button will change to UNDO, allowing

you to undo the quantize operation and return to the pre-quantized data if

the results are not as you expected. You will not be able to UNDO once

another button has been pressed.

During custom style recording, no MIXER

display is available.

Creating Your Own Styles

CVP-201

V Set the value or depth of the selected parameter.

• The reverb type used for the custom

style are determined by the style that

was selected as the basis for custom

style creation.

• Normally the VALUE and chorus TYPE

settings from the preset style are ini-

tially selected. If the PART function is

set to ALL, the preset values for part

R1 are displayed. If the SECTION

function is set to ALL, the preset val-

ues for MAIN A are displayed.

• The word “OTHERS” may appear as

the chorus type if the preset style uses

a chorus type other than those in the

list. The OTHERS setting cannot be re-

selected once you select a different

chorus type.

The VALUE (or DEPTH) function displayed above the rightmost

LCD button sets the amount or depth for the parameter selected in

step 2.

When VOLUME is selected, the SECTION setting is fixed at ALL

and the VALUE range is from –50 to +50 (this value is relative to

the preset volume of the source style). When the REVERB or CHO-

RUS parameter is selected, the DEPTH can be set in a range from 0

to 127. When PAN is selected, the VALUE function can be set in a

range from L10 (full left) to C (center) to R10 (full right).

B Repeat as necessary.

Repeat the preceding steps to set other parameters for each part and

section in the custom style.

■ Saving Styles to Disk ...................................................................................

Page 5 of the CUSTOM STYLE display lets you save custom styles

on a disk. You can save custom styles individually, or in a complete set of

up to four styles.

After inserting a properly formatted disk (page 111) in the Clavinova’s

disk drive, use the MEMORY No. ▼ and ▲ buttons to select the custom

style you want to save to disk, or select ALL to save a complete set of up

to four custom styles. When this is done, press the SAVE LCD button to

start saving the data to disk. At this point the SAVE display appears.

Enter a name for the style file. The procedure for entering the

filename is the same as that used to enter a name for a custom style (page

140). Press SAVE when the name has been entered. If a file with the

same name already exists, the “Same name! Overwrite?” mes-

sage will be displayed. Press OK to overwrite the existing file, or CAN-

CEL to abort the save operation.

Creating Your Own Styles

CVP-201

Custom styles must be stored in the Clavinova’s memory before they

can be saved to a disk. If a custom style has not been stored and you at-

tempt to save it to disk, the “Store in memory before saving

to disk” message will be displayed. If this happens, press OK to return

to page 5 of the CUSTOM STYLE display. Store the custom style (see

step 12 on page 79), then try saving again.

■ Deleting Style Files.........................................................................................

Style files can also be deleted from a disk using the DELETE func-

tion on page 5 of the CUSTOM STYLE display.

After inserting a disk that contains style files in the Clavinova disk

drive, press the DELETE LCD button. Use the FILE ▲ and ▼ buttons to

select the style file you want to delete from the disk. The “Are you

sure?” message will be displayed. Press YES to delete the style file, or

NO to cancel.

■ Exiting Custom Style Mode...................................................................

Press the [EXIT] button to exit the Custom Style mode and return to

the main display.

Style files can be loaded from disk using

the ALL LOAD and SINGLE LOAD func-

tions, as described in the “Loading Style

Files” section (page 86).

Creating Your Own Styles

CVP-201

Once created, your original custom styles can be selected for play-

back by pressing the [DISK/CUSTOM] button, then using the STYLE

▲ and ▼ LCD buttons, the data dial, or the [–] and [+] buttons to select

the custom style you want to play. The selected style can then be played

in exactly the same way as the preset styles (page 51).

Playing Back Your Custom Styles

Since only one intro pattern, one fill-in

pattern, and one ending pattern can be

recorded for each custom style, no intro,

fill-in, or ending variations are produced

during playback.

The following messages may appear when creating and storing a style

in Custom Style mode.

■ Memory Full During Recording.........................................................

This message will be displayed if the memory becomes full during

recording or editing.

Messages in Custom Style Mode

Press OK to return to the CUSTOM STYLE display, then simplify the

style by clearing a part, etc.

■ Insufficient Memory To Store...............................................................

This message will be displayed if there is not enough memory to per-

form a store operation.

In this case it will be necessary to either delete a style you don’t need,

or simplify the style you are currently recording. Press CANCEL to re-

turn to the CUSTOM STYLE display and simplify the current style (by

clearing a part, etc.), or DELETE to delete one or more styles.

If you select the DELETE function, the “Select style to de-

lete” message will be displayed:

The amount of memory being used by

each style is displayed next to the style

name (in approximate kilobytes). You can

refer to this amount to judge how much

memory (out of the total 100 KB) will

become available when a particular style

is deleted.

Creating Your Own Styles

CVP-201

Use the MEMORY No. ▼ and ▲ buttons to select the style you

want to delete, then press OK to delete the style, or CANCEL to cancel

the operation.

If the Clavinova displays the “Can’t delete this style!” mes-

sage when you try to delete a style, it is because you have tried to delete

the style that your custom style was based on. If this happens, press OK

to return to the “Select style to delete” display, then select a dif-

ferent style to delete.

■ Exit Before Store...............................................................................................

If you press [EXIT] button to exit the Custom Style mode before

storing the style, the Clavinova will display a message like the one

shown below:

Select a memory number and press YES to store the style and exit,

press NO to exit without storing the style, or press CANCEL to return to

the Custom Style mode.

■ Style Change Before Store.....................................................................

If you want to select a different source

style without storing the current style, exit

the Custom Style mode without storing

the style (see “Exit Before Store” above),

then re-enter the Custom Style mode.

If you attempt to select a different source style before storing the style

you’ve just edited, the following display will appear:

Select a memory number and press OK to store the style and select a

new source style, or press CANCEL to return to the Custom Style mode.

You can load and play style files created in the Style File Format

either from optional Yamaha “Style File” disks, or from disks

containing custom style files you’ve created yourself.

Using Style Files

The Style File Format is Yamaha’s original auto-accompaniment for-

mat, which has evolved through years of development and refinement.

The Style File Format features a unique conversion system that allows

you to play exceptionally high-quality accompaniments with a variety of

chord types. In addition to the internal styles, the Style File Format lets

you use other sophisticated styles from optional Style File disks, as well

as styles that were created and saved to disk in the Custom Style mode.

About the Yamaha Style File Format

Style files created for Clavinova models

prior to the CVP-201 may have slightly

different formats. If you try loading such

files, the data may not play back as

expected. (This also applies to the use of

CVP-201 style data by earlier-model

Clavinovas.)

Loading Styles from a Disk

Z Insert a disk............................................................................................................

If a disk containing both song data and

style files is inserted, the SONG PLAY

display will automatically appear. If this

happens, press the [SONG] button or the

[EXIT] button to return to the main dis-

play, then press the [DISK/CUSTOM]

button.

Insert a disk containing style files into the disk drive. The [DISK IN

USE] lamp will light briefly while the Clavinova reads and identifies the

disk. When a Style File disk is inserted, the STYLE FILE LOAD display

(see step 2 below) will appear automatically.

If the disk is already inserted and the STYLE FILE LOAD display is

not showing, press the [DISK/CUSTOM] button to open the DISK/

CUSTOM STYLE display, then press the LOAD SINGLE button.

To load a set of four style files that was created by selecting ALL as

the memory number when the files were saved in Custom Style mode (see

page 82), press the ALL LOAD LCD button rather than the LOAD SIN-

GLE button.

CVP-201

X Select a style file...............................................................................................

• If a tempo is set prior to loading the

style, that tempo becomes the default

for the loaded style.

• Some styles are too large to preview

with the LISTEN function. In this case

the “Too much data for LISTEN func-

tion! Please load data.” message will

be displayed. If this happens, load the

style directly as in step 4.

• The Auto Accompaniment is automati-

cally turned on when the LOAD SIN-

GLE button is pressed, and the style is

played back automatically with the

Auto Accompaniment in C Major when

the LISTEN LCD button is pressed.

You can change the chord or try play-

ing on the keyboard while previewing a

style.

Select the desired style using the data dial or the [–] and [+] buttons.

You can preview the selected style by pressing the LISTEN LCD

button. (The LISTEN function is not available in the ALL LOAD dis-

play.) To stop listening, press the LISTEN LCD button again, or press

the [START/STOP] button.

• If the selected memory number already

contains a style, the name of that style

will appear above the MEMORY and

LOAD functions in the display. The

existing style will be overwritten when

a new style is loaded. (One pre-pro-

grammed temporary style is automati-

cally loaded into the [DISK/CUSTOM]

memory whenever the power is turned

on.)

Use the MEMORY LCD button to select the memory number to

which the selected style file is to be loaded (1 through 4), then press the

LOAD LCD button to load the style file.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 to select and load other style files.

Using Style

C Select a memory number and load the style.....................

It is not necessary to select a memory number when ALL LOAD is

selected in step 1. Simply press OK to load or CANCEL to abort.

If there is not enough memory to load the specified style file, the

“Not enough memory! Delete an unneeded style?” mes-

sage will be displayed. In this case it will be necessary to delete a style

you don’t need before loading the new style. Use the MEMORY No. ▼

and ▲ buttons to select the number of the style you want to delete, then

press DELETE to delete the style, or CANCEL to abort.

• The ALL LOAD display is as follows:

When ALL LOAD is executed, all data

in the four memories will be replaced

by new data.

• The amount of memory being used by

each style is displayed next to the style

name (in approximate kilobytes). You

can refer to this amount to judge how

much memory (out of the total 100 KB)

will become available when a particular

style is deleted.

CVP-201

Playing Loaded Style Files

Using Style Files

V Eject the disk when you’re done.....................................................

CAUTION

The [DISK IN USE] lamp will light while

the style is being loaded. NEVER

attempt to remove a disk while the

[DISK IN USE] lamp is lit.

The LISTEN, LOAD, [EXIT], and STYLE

buttons will not function while the style

data is being loaded (i.e., while the [DISK

IN USE] lamp is lit).

When you’ve finished with the Style File disk, press the disk drive

EJECT button to remove it and return to the normal play mode display.

You can return to the normal play mode without removing the disk by

pressing the [EXIT] button.

Loaded disk styles will be retained in

memory only until the power is turned off.

Once loaded, style files can be selected for playback by pressing the

[DISK/CUSTOM] button, then using the STYLE ▲ and ▼ LCD but-

tons, the data dial, or the [–] and [+] buttons to select the style you want

to play. The selected style can then be played in exactly the same way as

the preset styles (page 51).

CHAPTER 7: Song Control

Song Playback

The Clavinova can play back songs recorded using the Song

Record function (page 110), as well as song data included on

various commercially available software disks. You can also play

along on the keyboard as the songs play back. Moreover, when

song data software includes lyrics, you can view the lyrics in the

display during playback.

• See “Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks” (page 9)

for information on using floppy disks.

• The Clavinova can play back up to 99 songs recorded on a single disk.

Any songs exceeding this number will not be available for playback.

• Playback data is normally not output via MIDI. However, you can set

the Clavinova to output song data using the Song Transmission func-

tion in the FUNCTION [MIDI 4] display (page 150).

• In addition to songs you’ve recorded yourself, the CVP-201 can play

back commercially available disks of Yamaha DOC software, XG soft-

ware, and Disklavier PianoSoft as well as GM software. See “Playing

Other Types of Music Data” on page 104.

• Consult your Yamaha dealer for information on song data that is com-

patible with the Lyric Display function of the Clavinova.

Z Enter the Song Play mode. .................................................................

Gently insert the included “Music Software Collection” disk or a

disk containing songs you’ve recorded yourself into the disk drive.

Make sure to insert the disk face up in correct direction, as shown in

the illustration, until it clicks into place. The Song Play mode is auto-

matically called up when a song disk is inserted in the disk drive.

■ Phrase Repeat......................................................................................................

When playing back Yamaha software that includes special phrase

marks, such as DOC files, you can select specific phrase numbers (as

indicated on the accompanying sheet music) and repeatedly practice only

the selected phrase. (Phrase Repeat can be used for the four songs for

which notation is provided in the included Music Book.)

If you select PHRASE by using the REPEAT MODE ▼ or ▲ buttons,

the PHRASE display for selection of the phrase number will appear at

the right of the button. Press PHRASE ▼ or ▲ to highlight the corre-

sponding function in the display, then select the phrase number by using

the data dial or [–] and [+] buttons.

You can also select the phrase number by pressing PHRASE ▼ or ▲.

Once song playback is started, the selected phrase will be played back

repeatedly until playback is stopped.

• Parts can be turned on/off even during

the performance.

• The Guide function can also be used

simultaneously with Phrase Repeat.

• When Phrase Repeat is started, a

lead-in count automatically plays

before the phrase. However, for free-

tempo songs, a lead-in count is not

available.

■ 1 Song Repeat......................................................................................................

When 1 SONG is selected by pressing the REPEAT MODE ▼ or ▲

button, any song selected and played as described above will play repeat-

edly until stopped.

Lead-in count is not played.

■ AB Repeat.................................................................................................................

This function allows you to specify any section (between point A and

point B) of a song, letting you repeatedly play back the selected section

for practice.

When AB mode is selected by the REPEAT MODE ▼ or ▲ buttons,

A ➔ and B will appear at the right of the buttons in the display to specify

points A and B.

• The specified A and B points will be

erased when a new song number or

another Repeat mode is selected.

• A lead-in count automatically plays

before the specified section A–B Re-

peat playback is started. However, for

free-tempo songs, a lead-in count is

not available.

• To specify the A point as the begin-

ning of the song, press A

➔

before

playback starts. In this case a lead-in

count is not available.

• Specifying only the A point results in

repeat playback between the A point

and the end of the song.

• The B point cannot be selected unless

an A point is selected.

will begin automatically.

The programmed A and B points are retained until a different song or

a different Repeat mode is selected. The same section can be played back

repeatedly as many times as you desire by using the [PLAY/STOP] but-

ton.

When both the A and B points have been specified, you can clear the

A and B points by pressing the A ➔ button, or just the B point by press-

ing the B button. You can then specify other A and B points within the

song.

■ Pause .............................................................................................................................

Press the [PAUSE] button during song playback to temporarily stop

song playback. Press [PAUSE] again or the [PLAY/STOP] button to

resume playback from the same point.

■ Rewind and Fast Forward........................................................................

Use the [REW] and [FF] buttons to rewind or fast forward to the

playback point of the song.

• While playback is stopped or paused, the [REW] and [FF] buttons

can be used to step backward or forward through the song a measure

at a time. Holding down either button continuously moves through the

song in the corresponding direction.

• During playback, the [REW] and [FF] buttons allow you to move the

playback point of the song rapidly as long as the button is held. No

sound is produced during [REW] operation.

Playing Other Types of Music Data

■ About Compatible Software..................................................................

The CVP-201 can play back the following types of software.

• Sequence formats: SMF (format 0 and 1), ESEQ

• Voice allocation formats: GM System Level 1, XG, DOC

Refer to “MIDI and Data Compatibility” (page 172) for information

on the voice allocation formats and sequence formats.

The internal tone generator of the CVP-201 automatically resets for

compatibility with either the Yamaha XG format (including GM System

Level 1) or the Yamaha DOC voice allocation (page 172), depending on

the playback data. (However, the selected voice allocation on the panel

will not change.)

■ Song Data Recorded on Other Instruments........................

Song data recorded on other Clavinovas (CVP-50/70/55/65/75/83S/

85A/87A/59S/69A/69/79A/89/92/94/96/98/600/109/107/105/700/103)

will normally be played back with the correct voices even though the

volume balance may be slightly different. However, data recorded using

the Auto Accompaniment function of the CVP-50/70 cannot be played

back properly.

Song data recorded on the Yamaha Disklavier can also be played back.

Regardless of the type of software, only

the following disk formats can be used:

3.5" 2DD 720 kilobyte format and 3.5"

2HD 1.44 megabyte format.

Song Playback

102

The Lyric Display function (page 109)

cannot be used with song data recorded

CVP-201

The Clavinova has a special Guide function which allows you to

practice by using the appropriate disk software. The “piano roll”

display and the keyboard guide lamp indicate which keys you

should play, and when you should play them. You can even

practice at your own pace since the Clavinova pauses playback

of the accompaniment until you play the correct keys. (You can try

out the Guide function by pressing one of the GUIDE CONTROL

buttons during playback of the “4. GUIDE Demo” song in the

Demo mode.)

Guide Control

The Clavinova has three different Guide methods that can be selected

depending on your playing experience or preferences. Beginning players

should practice first with Easy Play, then go on to Next Note, then Sound

Repeat.

Guide Methods and Piano Roll

“FOLLOW LIGHTS” and “CueTIME”

software should be used with the Next

Note method, as the Easy Play and

Sound Repeat methods may not function

properly with such software.

■ Practicing the Timing: Easy Play.....................................................

Since the Easy Play method lets you practice only the timing of the

notes, you can play anywhere on the keyboard. The melody will play

back smoothly when you play with the correct timing. (The accompani-

ment plays back normally in tempo.)

■ Practicing the Notes: Next Note .......................................................

The Next Note method lets you check which notes to play by looking

at the piano roll display and the keyboard guide lamps. Since the

Clavinova waits to play the accompaniment until you play the correct

note, you can practice at your own pace.

The keyboard guide lamps indicate the timing in which to play, by

changing from lit-up to flashing.

If the guide lamps do not flash…

The guide lamps may not flash in the

case of a few songs because of a special

guide system. In case of such songs,

however, you can switch to the Next Note

method so that the lamps flash, if you

like. See the “Other Guide-related Func-

tions” on page 108.

If the guide lamps and piano roll are

transposed up or down…

The guide lamps and piano roll may be

transposed up or down by one or two

octaves for certain songs. The guide

lamps and piano roll will not indicate

notes exceeding the 88-key range of the

keyboard.

■ Practicing Phrase-by-Phrase with the Playback:

Sound Repeat

.......................................................................................................

In the Sound Repeat method, the Clavinova plays back a short phrase.

Listen to the phrase and practice.

As soon as you play the phrase correctly, the Clavinova will automati-

cally play the next phrase.

Number of Repeats

You can set the number of times the

phrase will be repeated in the SONG

PLAY [GUIDE MODE] display (display

page 5). (See page 109.)

The keyboard guide lamps can be turned

on or off as desired in the SONG PLAY

[GUIDE MODE] display (display page 5).

(See page 109.)

● Piano Roll

To show the piano roll in the display, press any GUIDE CONTROL

button, then press the [PLAY/STOP] button to start playback. A bar of

the same length as the note to be played scrolls down from the top of the

display toward the bottom. You should play the note at the time the bar

reaches the bottom of the display. In order to play the note with the cor-

rect duration, hold the note for as long as the bar remains in the display.

Piano Roll ON/OFF

The piano roll display can be turned on

or off from the SONG PLAY [GUIDE

MODE] display (display page 5). (See

page 109.)

Z Set up the desired song for practicing.....................................

Check that the disk is properly inserted in the disk drive before call-

ing up the Guide function.

Using the Guide Function

Before Practicing

Before starting to practice, play back the

entire song without canceling the part to

be practiced and listen to it carefully. This

will give you a clear idea of how the song

should be played, and will make your

practice sessions progress more

smoothly.

Auto Part Cancel

If you turn on the Guide function without

canceling playback of the part to be

practiced, 1/RIGHT part is guided (or the

2/LEFT part is guided when the 1/RIGHT

part contains no data). However, when

you cancel the part before turning on

Guide, the setting will be kept until the

song is changed.

• When recording Auto Accompaniment,

the rhythm is recorded to tracks 9

through 10, bass to track 11, and chordal

backing to tracks 12 through 16.

• The Chord Sequence function (page 121)

lets you record the Auto Accompaniment

without having to play chord parts in

tempo.

• When any part is set to REC, the remain-

ing capacity of the disk (in kilobytes) is

shown to the right of the tempo indicator

in the display. Empty 2DD and 2HD disks

should have about 690 KB (about 69,000

notes) and 1400 KB (about 140,000

notes), respectively.

•

When the ACMP&RHY part is set to REC,

the metronome will sound to provide a

timing guide before recording is started.

■ Tune ....................................................................................................................................

Keyboard

FUNCTION [KEYBOARD 1] Display — page 1

TUNE

• Range:414.8 Hz — 466.6 Hz

(–102.1 — +101.62 cents)

• Basic setting: 440 Hz

The Tune function lets you make fine adjustments to the pitch, allow-

ing you to accurately match the tuning with that of other instruments.

The frequency (in Hz) of A3 is displayed by the TUNE function. The

tuning can be adjusted up or down a maximum of approximately 26 Hz

(slightly over 100 cents) in 0.2-Hz steps.

Hz and Cents

• Pitch is measured in units of Hertz

(abbreviated Hz), which represents the

number of times the sound wave vi-

brates in a second.

• A cent is a unit of pitch equal to 1/100

of a semitone (100 cents = 1 semitone).

• Tune has no effect on the Drum Kit

voices.

• The XG Master Tune setting is effec-

tive when playing back songs contain-

ing XG Master Tune data.

■ Transpose ....................................................................................................................

TRANSPOSE functions

• Range:–24 — +24 semitones

(–2 — +2 octaves)

• Basic setting: 0

The Transpose functions make it possible to shift the pitch of the key-

board or song data in semitone units, allowing you to match the pitch of

the Clavinova to the range of other instruments or singers.

The Clavinova has two transpose functions: ALL and SONG. The

former transposes all notes played by the Clavinova, whereas the latter

transposes song data only. When you change the setting of the ALL func-

tion, the SONG setting is also adjusted by the same amount.

• The Transpose function does not affect

the Drum Kit voices.

• When playing back songs containing

XG Transpose data, the XG Transpose

data is effective only for the data play-

back sound. The value set on the

panel affects the keyboard sound.

• The values set here affect playback

data transmitted via MIDI.

• When a Transpose function is set to a

high value, notes played in the corre-

sponding range at the upper end of the

keyboard (e.g., C5 through C7 for a

value of +24) may not sound as ex-

pected. The same is true of notes at

the lower end of the keyboard when a

low Transpose value is set.

KEY TOUCH

• Settings: See table at left.

• Basic setting: NORMAL

FIXED VELOCITY

• Range: 1 — 127

• Basic setting: 76

■ Key Touch & Fixed Velocity ......................................................................

FUNCTION [KEYBOARD 2] Display — page 2

Velocity

• The amount of force applied to a key is

frequently referred to in this manual as

velocity

. This is because the Clavinova

determines the amount of force that

was applied to a key by measuring the

speed with which the key was de-

pressed.

• This function does not affect the actual

weight of the keys.

The Key Touch function determines how velocity affects the volume

of the voices played by the Clavinova’s keyboard. Select from four Key

Touch settings to tailor the keyboard response to the selected voice, type

of song, or your personal playing style. Press the KEY TOUCH button to

change the setting. The data dial and [–] and [+] buttons cannot be used.

Key Touch Settings

NORMAL

This is the standard keyboard response and is used as the basic

setting.

SOFT

This setting lets you produce a relatively loud sound even when

playing the keys softly.

FIXED

This setting produces a uniform degree of loudness, no matter how

forcefully or softly you play the keys. Use the FIXED VELOCITY

function to set the loudness of notes produced by the keyboard.

HARD

This setting requires you to play the keys quite strongly to produce

maximum loudness

■ Voice Setting.............................................................................................................

VOICE SETTING

• Settings: AUTO, MANUAL

• Basic Setting: AUTO

This function determines whether the basic reverb, chorus, effect, and

other settings for each voice are automatically selected when a voice is

selected. Press the VOICE SETTING button to change the setting. When

it is set to AUTO, the basic settings for each voice are automatically se-

lected when the voice is selected; when it is set to MANUAL, the set-

tings do not change when voices are selected.

The following settings are automatically

selected when VOICE SETTING is set to

HARMONY

When the Harmony function is set to on, Harmony is applied

only while the left pedal is held down. (See page 69.)

REGISTRATION

The panel settings registered to the next Registration number

are recalled each time the left pedal is pressed. (See page 91.)

REG.FREEZE

The left pedal switches the Registration Freeze function on and

off; that is, it performs the same function as the FREEZE button

in the REGISTRATION [FREEZE] display (page 91).

ENDING/RIT

The left pedal functions as the [ENDING] button. You can have

the song end ritardando (slow down gradually) by pressing the

left pedal twice in succession. (See page 56.)

BREAK

Pressing the left pedal during style playback produces a break

in the accompaniment and rhythm for as long as the pedal is

held. When the pedal is released, normal playback resumes

from the next measure. If you press the left pedal a second

time within one measure, normal playback resumes immedi-

ately.

BREAK FIL

Pressing the left pedal during style playback causes the

Clavinova to play a special “break fill-in” pattern. This pattern is

different from the fill-in patterns produced by the Auto Fill func-

tion. (See page 51.)

BASS HOLD

While the left pedal is pressed, the bass note played by the

Auto Accompaniment will be held even if the chord is changed.

This function does not work when FULL KEYBOARD is se-

lected as the accompaniment mode (page 61).

FADE IN/OUT

The left pedal performs the function same as the [FADE IN/

OUT] button. (See pages 55 and 56.)

■ Send Channel (Keyboard).........................................................................

MIDI

FUNCTION [MIDI 1] Display — page 9

SEND CH

• Settings: OFF, 1 — 16

• Basic setting: See table at left.

In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels (1 through 16) of the

transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched for proper data

transfer. The SEND CH function lets you set the MIDI transmit channels

for the keyboard parts.

Part Explanation Basic Setting

LEFT Left voice in Split mode (see page 36) 3

RIGHT1 Main voice 1

RIGHT2 Second voice in Dual mode (see page 33) 2

You can set each keyboard part to transmit on a separate channel. If

you set a part to OFF, the MIDI data for that part will not be transmitted.

● MIDI Reception

The Clavinova always receives MIDI data in the “Multi Timbre” mode. This is a mode in which the

Clavinova voices can be independently controlled on different MIDI channel numbers (1 through 16) by an

external MIDI device. This means that you can produce the sound of a full band or ensemble on the

Clavinova by using a computer or MIDI sequencer.

■ Local Control ..........................................................................................................

LOCAL

• Settings: ON, OFF

• Basic setting: ON

The term “local control” refers to the control of the internal tone gen-

erator by the keyboard. You will normally play the Clavinova with the

Local Control function set to ON.

Turning off the local control separates the keyboard from the tone

generator, so that the Clavinova will not output any sound when you play

the keyboard. Since keyboard performance data is still output via the

MIDI jacks, however, you can use this setting when you want to play an

external MIDI tone generator from the Clavinova’s keyboard without

sounding the internal voices.

To turn the local control on or off, press the LOCAL button. The data

dial and [–] and [+] buttons cannot be used.

145

148

CVP-201

■ Synchronization....................................................................................................

MIDI

SYNC.

• Settings: INT. (internal clock),

EXT. (external clock)

• Basic setting: INT.

The playback tempo of a song or style is normally controlled by the

Clavinova’s internal clock. When you want the Clavinova’s playback

tempo to be controlled by an external sequencer or rhythm machine, you

should set the synchronization function to use an external clock. You

might use this function, for example, to play the Auto Accompaniment of

the Clavinova in perfect synchronization with an external sequencer.

To switch the synchronization from an internal clock to an external

clock (or vice versa), press the SYNC. button. The data dial and the [–]

and [+] buttons cannot be used.

■ MIDI Filter.................................................................................................................

The FUNCTION [MIDI 2] display contains MIDI filter settings that

can be used to enable or prevent the transmission and reception of certain

types of MIDI data.

FUNCTION [MIDI 2] Display — page 10

● Program Change Messages

PROGRAM

• Settings: Tx&Rx (transmitted/received),

OFF

• Basic setting: Tx&Rx

Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI program change num-

bers received from an external keyboard or another MIDI device. For

example, the Clavinova can change voices in response to MIDI program

change messages received from a connected MIDI sequencer. (These

messages do not affect the keyboard-played voices.) The voices of con-

nected external MIDI devices can also be changed by program change

messages transmitted from the Clavinova. (Program change messages are

transmitted when changing voices on the panel of the Clavinova.)

Depending on your particular MIDI setup, you may find that this fea-

ture is convenient in some cases and not in others. Set the PROGRAM

function to OFF to disable the transmission and reception of program

change messages.

Bank MSB and LSB messages can be

transmitted and received even when

PROGRAM is set to OFF.

146

149

CVP-201

● Control Change Messages

CONTROL

• Settings: Tx&Rx (transmitted/received),

OFF

• Basic setting: Tx&Rx

Control change messages are used for various non-keyboard perform-

ance controls, such as the damper pedal, or for expressive control of the

sound of a connected MIDI device, such as effects and volume. For ex-

ample, the Clavinova can respond to control change messages transmit-

ted from an external MIDI sequencer. (These messages do not affect the

keyboard-played voices.) Similarly, an external MIDI device can be con-

trolled by sending control change messages from the Clavinova to that

device. (Control change messages are transmitted when operating the

damper pedal, etc., on the Clavinova.)

Set CONTROL to OFF to disable the transmission and reception of

control change messages.

The control change data recognized by the Clavinova is listed in de-

tail on page 14 in the Reference Booklet.

● System Exclusive Messages

SYS EX.

• Settings: Tx&Rx (transmitted/received),

OFF

• Basic setting: Tx&Rx

System exclusive messages are used for more advanced or detailed

MIDI control, or for controls related to specific manufacturer’s devices.

Set SYS EX. to OFF to disable the transmission and reception of sys-

tem exclusive messages.

The system exclusive data recognized by the Clavinova is listed in

detail on page 16 in the Reference Booklet.

● Start/Stop Commands

START/STOP

• Settings: Tx&Rx (transmitted/received),

OFF

• Basic setting: OFF

A device that transmits the Start/Stop command can start and stop the

rhythm or sequence data performance of a receiving device via MIDI.

For example, you can transmit the Start/Stop command from an external

MIDI sequencer to start and stop the Auto Accompaniment or song play-

back on the Clavinova. Also, an external MIDI sequencer or rhythm ma-

chine can be started and stopped by starting and stopping the Auto Ac-

companiment on the Clavinova.

Set START/STOP to ON to enable the transmission and reception of

Start/Stop commands.

FUNCTION [MIDI 3] Display — page 11

■ Receive Filter...........................................................................................................

RECEIVE FILTER

• Settings: ON, OFF (x 16)

• Basic setting: ON (x 16)

The Receive Filter function lets you prevent the Clavinova from re-

ceiving channel-specific MIDI messages — such as note data and control

changes — on certain MIDI channels.

This function is useful, for example, when you want to control some of

the Clavinova’s voices exclusively from an external sequencer, and others

using only the Clavinova’s keyboard or its built-in Auto Accompaniment

and Song mode functions. (You can also have the Clavinova ignore chan-

nels carrying messages that are intended for another instrument connected

to the Clavinova’s MIDI [THRU] terminal.)

By default, the Clavinova will receive messages on all 16 channels. Use

the following procedure to enable or disable the reception of a channel:

using the AUX IN and AUX OUT jacks, which are located at the left end

of the unit on the rear panel.

■ AUX IN Jacks...........................................................................................................

Audio Input and Output

CAUTION

Never connect the Clavinova’s AUX

OUT jacks to its AUX IN jacks, either

directly or via external audio equip-

ment. Such connections could result

in a feedback loop that will make nor-

mal performance impossible, and may

even damage the Clavinova.

The volume of the audio signal input at

the AUX IN jacks is affected by the

[MASTER VOLUME] slider.

The sounds of other instruments or

tone generator modules can be output

through the speaker system of the

Clavinova by connecting audio cables to

the AUX IN jacks as shown here.

Use the AUX IN [L/L+R] jack for

monophonic input. For stereo input, con-

nect the left channel output to the AUX

IN [L/L+R] jack, and the right channel

output to the AUX IN [R] jack.

■ AUX OUT Jacks ....................................................................................................

By connecting audio cables to the

AUX OUT jacks as shown here, you can

output the sound of the Clavinova to a

stereo system, amplifier, mixing console,

or recording equipment. Since the AUX

OUT jacks provide output at a fixed

level, you will need to use the controls

on the connected equipment to adjust the

overall volume of the sound from the

Clavinova.

Use the AUX OUT [L/L+R] jack for

monophonic output. For stereo output,

connect the AUX OUT [L/L+R] jack to

the left channel input, and the AUX OUT

[R] jack to the right channel input.

Use MIDI cables to connect the MIDI terminals on the Clavinova to

other MIDI devices. The Clavinova’s MIDI terminals are located at the

left of the unit on the rear panel.

Tone generators or other devices to be controlled by the Clavinova can

be connected to the MIDI [OUT] terminal. Devices that will control the

Clavinova should be connected to the MIDI [IN] terminal. If you have a

personal computer or sequencer that will control the Clavinova, you may

want to connect it to both the [IN] and [OUT] terminals to allow two-way

communication. In this case, any other instruments to be controlled by the

same device can be connected to the Clavinova’s MIDI [THRU] terminal.

You can use the MIDI terminals to connect your Clavinova to a wide range of MIDI devices,

including personal computers, sequencers, tone generators, and so on. In addition, the Clavinova

features a [TO HOST] connector that lets you connect it directly to an Apple Macintosh, IBM-PC/

AT, or other compatible personal computer without the use of a special MIDI interface.

Be sure to turn off the power when connecting or disconnecting computers or MIDI equipment, as failing to

do so can result in damage to equipment.

[TO HOST] or MIDI?

• If you simply want to connect your

Clavinova to a personal computer, it

may be more convenient to use the

[TO HOST] terminal, as your computer

won’t need a special MIDI interface to

make that connection.

• The MIDI terminals are particularly

convenient when you want the

Clavinova to function as part of a more

extensive MIDI setup.

You can connect the Clavinova to an Apple Macintosh, IBM-PC/AT,

or compatible personal computer using the [TO HOST] connector, which

is located at the left of the unit on the rear panel. If you do, be sure to set

the adjacent [HOST SELECT] switch to the appropriate setting for your

computer model.

Connecting to a Host Computer

• Turn off both the Clavinova and the

computer before connecting the cable.

• When the Clavinova is connected to a

host computer, turn on the computer

first, then the Clavinova.

• Disconnect the cable when not using

the [TO HOST] terminal. If it is left

connected, the Clavinova may not

function properly.

When you use the MIDI termi-

nals, set the [HOST SELECT]

switch to the MIDI position. The

MIDI terminals will not transmit or

receive data if this switch is set to

any other position.

You can set the Clavinova’s

MIDI parameters using pages 9

through 12 of the FUNCTION dis-

play (see page 147 through 150).

Problem

The Clavinova does not turn on.

A click or pop is heard when the

power is turned on or off.

Noise is heard from the Clavinova’s

speakers.

The display is too bright or too dark

to read.

The keyboard volume is low com-

pared to that of the Auto Accompa-

niment or song playback.

The volume of the Auto Accompa-

niment or song playback is low

compared to that of the keyboard.

The overall volume is low, or no

sound is heard.

The damper pedal has no effect, or

the sound continuously sustains

even when the damper pedal is not

pressed.

Style or song playback does not

start.

When the keyboard is played, not

all of the notes sound.

Solution

Securely insert the female plug into

the socket on the Clavinova, and the

male plug into a proper AC outlet.

This is normal, and is no cause for

concern.

Turn off the mobile phone, or use it

further away from the Clavinova.

Adjust the contrast of the display

using the [CONTRAST] control.

(See page 11.)

Increase the overall keyboard level in

the main display (page 23), or use the

VOLUME function in the appropriate

KEYBOARD display (pages 32, 34,

or 37) to raise the volume of the key-

board part in question.

Raise the [ACMP/SONG VOL-

UME] level.

Raise the part or track level(s) in the

appropriate MIXER display (page

65 or 100).

Raise the [MASTER VOLUME] level.

Unplug the headphones.

Turn the Local Control function on.

(See page 147.)

Securely insert the pedal cord plug

into the proper jack. (See page 34

in the Reference booklet.)

Set the MIDI Sync function to INT.

(See page 148.)

Since the configuration of the tone

generation system is such that later

notes have priority, previous notes

may occasionally be cut off. (See

“Specifications” in the Reference

Booklet for details about the simul-

taneous polyphonic capacity.)

Cause

The Clavinova has not been plugged

in properly.

Electrical current is being applied to

the instrument.

The noise may be due to interference

caused by the use of a mobile phone

in close proximity to the Clavinova.

The brightness may be affected by

the surrounding temperature.

Either the overall keyboard volume

or the independent volume level of

the keyboard part is set too low.

The [ACMP/SONG VOLUME] is

set too low.

The volume level of one or more

accompaniment parts or song tracks

is set too low.

The [MASTER VOLUME] is set too low.

Headphones are connected.

The Local Control function is turned off.

The pedal cord plug is not connected.

The MIDI Sync function is set to EXT.

The Clavinova’s total simultaneous

polyphonic capacity (maximum

number of notes) has been exceeded.

MIDI and Data Compatibility

■ MIDI

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a worldwide

standard communication interface that allows MIDI-compatible

musical instruments and equipment to share musical information

and control one another.

• Depending on the MIDI device, the transmittable/receivable data

differs, and only data which is commonly recognized among the

connected MIDI devices can be transmitted or received. You can

check whether your instrument supports certain data types by

referring to the MIDI Implementation Chart in the owner’s

manual for that instrument. The MIDI Implementation Chart for

the CVP-201 is found on page 30 in the Reference Booklet.

MIDI Terminals

● Sequence Format

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

• Playback is only possible when the sequence format of the

disk matches that of the MIDI device.

[Common Sequence Formats]

SMF (Standard MIDI File)

This is the most common sequence format.

• Standard MIDI Files are generally available as one of two

types: Format 0 or Format 1.

• Many MIDI devices are compatible with Format 0, and most

commercially available software is recorded as Format 0.

• The CVP-201 is compatible with both Format 0 and Format

1 (for Format 1, up to a maximum of 17 chunks).

• Song data recorded on the CVP-201 is automatically re-

corded 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-201 is compatible with ESEQ.

● 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 allo-

cation format of the song data matches that of the compat-

ible MIDI device used for playback.

[Main Voice Allocation Formats]

GM System Level 1

This is one of the most common voice allocation formats.

• Many MIDI devices are compatible with GM System Level

1, as is most commercially available software.

• The CVP-201 is compatible with GM System Level 1.

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.

• The CVP-201 is compatible with XG.

• Song data recorded on the CVP-201 using voices in the

[XG] category is XG-compatible.

DOC

This voice allocation format is compatible with many of

Yamaha’s MIDI devices, including the Clavinova series instru-

ments.

This is also a common format used with various Yamaha soft-

ware.

• The CVP-201 is compatible with DOC.

Even if the devices and data used satisfy all the conditions

above, the data may still not be completely compatible, depend-

ing on the specifications of the devices and particular data re-

cording methods.

MIDI Cable

Connect MIDI devices with special MIDI cables.

• MIDI settings can be made in the MIDI pages of the Func-

tion mode display. (See pages 147 through 150.)

• Further information on MIDI and its applications is available

in various music books and magazines.

■ Data Compatibility

This section covers basic information on data compatibility:

whether or not other MIDI devices can playback the data recorded

by CVP-201, and whether or not the CVP-201 can playback com-

mercially available song data or song data created for other instru-

ments 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.

● Basic Check Points

The data and the MIDI device must match in regards to the

items below.

• Disk Format

• Sequence format

• Voice allocation format

● Disk format

Floppy disks are the main storage medium for data used with

various devices, including computers. Different devices have

different systems of storing data, therefore it is necessary to first

configure the floppy disk to the system of the device being used.

This operation is called “formatting.”

• There are two types of floppy disks: MF2DD (double sided,

double density) and MF2HD (double sided, high density),

and each type has different formatting systems.

• CVP-201 can record and playback with both types of floppy

disks.

• When formatted by the CVP-201, a 2DD disk stores up to

720 KB (kilobytes) and a 2HD disk stores up to 1.44 MB

(megabytes). (The figures “720 KB” and “1.44 MB” indi-

cate the data memory capacity. They are also used to indi-

cate the format type of disk.)

• Playback is only possible when the MIDI device to be used

is compatible with the format of the disk.

This terminal transmits the MIDI data.

This terminal

receives the MIDI

data.

OUT

THRU

MIDI

Data received via the

MIDI IN terminal is re-

transmitted unchanged

through this terminal.

WARNING- When using any electrical or electronic prod-

uct, basic precautions should always be followed. These pre-

cautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Read all Safety Instructions, Installation Instructions,

Special Message Section items, and any Assembly Instructions

found in this manual BEFORE making any connections, in-

cluding 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)

instructions. 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

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

one could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over power or

connecting cords of any kind. The use of an extension cord is

not recommended! 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 electri-

cian.

6. Ventilation: Electronic products, unless specifically

designed for enclosed installations, should be placed in loca-

tions that do not interfere with proper ventilation. If instruc-

tions 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 con-

tribute to their operating temperature. Placement of this prod-

uct 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. Exam-

ples 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 ex-

tended periods of time. Cords should also be disconnected when

there is a high probability of lightening 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

Owner’s Manual IMPORTANT Check Your Power Supply Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the name plate on the bottom panel. In some areas a voltage selector may be provided on the bottom panel of the main keyboard unit near the power cord. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area. The voltage selector is set at 240V when the unit is initially shipped. To change the setting use a “minus” screwdriver to rotate the selector dial so that the correct voltage appears next to the pointer on the panel.

CVP-201 Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks ● Precautions Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with care. Follow the important precautions below. ● Compatible Disk Type 3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used. ■ Inserting/Ejecting Floppy Disks ............. To insert 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. DISK IN USE ○○○○○○○○○○○ ■ Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head ...................................................................................... ● Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument employs a precision magnetic read/write head which, after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of magnetic particles from the disks used that will eventually cause read and write errors. ● To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order Yamaha recommends that you use a commerciallyavailable dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the availability of proper head-cleaning disks. ● Never open or close the key cover while a disk is extending from the drive (i.e. in the ejected position). The key cover may contact the disk,– possibily damaging the disk or even the disk drive. ● Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy disks. ■ About the Floppy Disks ................................... To eject a floppy disk: Before ejecting the disk, be sure to confirm that the FDD is stopped (check if the [DISK IN USE] lamp is off). Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go; the disk will automatically pop out. When the disk is fully ejected, carefully remove it by hand. DISK IN USE lamp DISK IN USE To handle floppy disks with care: ● Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep floppy disks in their protective cases when they are not in use. ● Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids. ● Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed surface of the floppy disk inside. ● Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since magnetic fields can partially or completely erase data on the disk, rendering it unreadable. ● Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or housing. ● Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a floppy disk. Also make sure that labels are attached in the proper location. To protect your data (Write-protect Tab): To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the disk’s write-protect tab to the “protect” position (tab open). Data backup For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you keep two copies of important data on separate floppy disks. This gives you a backup if one disk is lost or damaged. To make a backup disk use the Disk Copy function on page 142. 7 Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off during recording, reading and playing back. Doing so can damage the disk and possibly the disk drive. If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it is not pressed in as far as it will go, the disk may not eject properly. The eject button may become stuck in a half-pressed position with the disk extending from the drive slot by only a few millimeters. If this happens, do not attempt to pull out the partially ejected disk, since using force in this situation can damage the disk drive mechanism or the floppy disk. To remove a partially ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again, or push the disk back into the slot and then repeat the eject procedure. 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. CVP-201 9 Setting Up the Clavinova ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ Music Stand ■ To raise the music stand: ........................................................................... Z Pull the stand up and toward yourself as far as it will go. X Flip down the two metal supports at the left and the right on the rear of the music stand. C Lower the music stand so that it rests on the metal supports. ■ To lower the music stand: ......................................................................... Z Pull the music stand toward yourself as far as it will go. X Raise the two metal supports until they are flat against the rear surface of the stand. C Gently lower the music stand backward until it is all the way down. CAUTION • Do not try to use the music stand in a half-raised position. Also, when lowering the stand, let the stand all the way down before releasing it. Key Cover ■ To open the key cover: .................................................................................. Z Lift the cover slightly (not too much). X Slide the cover open. Be careful to avoid catching your fingers when opening or closing the cover. ■ To close the key cover: ................................................................................. Z Slide the cover toward you. X Gently lower the cover over the keys. CAUTION • Hold the cover with both hands when moving it, and do not release it until it is fully opened or closed. Be careful to avoid catching fingers (yours or others) between the cover and main unit. • Do not place objects on top of the key cover. Small objects placed on the key cover may fall inside the instrument when the cover is opened, and may be impossible to remove. This could cause electric shock, short circuit, fire or other serious damage to the instrument. 8 10 CVP-201 ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ Setting Up the Clavinova Turning the Power On and Off Z Connect the power cord. Insert the plugs at the ends of the cord, one into the AC INLET on the bottom panel of the Clavinova, and the other into a standard AC outlet. In some areas, a plug adapter may be provided to match the pin configuration of the AC wall outlets in your area. X Press the [POWER] switch. The main display appears in the LCD display. (Initially, the voice Grand Piano and the accompaniment style 8 Beat 1 are selected.) The power lamp below the lower left end of the keyboard also lights. POWER CONTRAST C Adjust the LCD.

You can also change the tempo (page 25) and use the [REW], [FF] and [PAUSE] buttons. When you play 3. Lyric Demo, the Clavinova will display the lyrics so you can sing (as well as play) along. Also, you can use the Guide function (page 105) while the Clavinova is playing 4. GUIDE Demo. You cannot change the voice selection while the demo is playing, however. Demo song data is not output through the [MIDI OUT] terminal; however, your keyboard performance data is output. CVP-201 15 CHAPTER 2: Basic Operation Using the LCD Display Controls ○○○○○○○○○ You will refer to the LCD display frequently as you operate your Clavinova. This section consists of a short tutorial that will help you learn how to read the LCD display and use the related controls. Selecting a Function Many of the Clavinova’s functions are displayed at the bottom of the LCD. The main display shown below contains two functions: KBD VOL and RIGHT1 VOICE. These items are displayed in rounded rectangles, which means they represent settings that can be changed. Before you can change a function’s setting, however, you have to select it first. In the main display, the RIGHT1 VOICE function is highlighted, indicating that this function is currently selected. To select a function, press and quickly release the LCD button directly below that function. For example, you can select KBD VOL by pressing the leftmost LCD button. Main display Remember, the main display is the display that appears first when you turn the power on. Highlighted items Selected items are highlighted (i.e., white letters on a dark background). LCD buttons The five LCD buttons under the LCD display represent different functions, depending on the contents of the display. Press to select. CVP-201 14 16 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Using the LCD Display Controls Changing a Setting There are several ways to change a function’s value. Here are two of the main ways: ■ Using the data dial or [–] and [+] buttons ................................. Once you have selected a function, you can change its setting with the data dial or the [–] and [+] buttons. Since you have just selected KBD VOL, try turning the dial or pressing the [–] button until it reads 0. The KBD VOL function sets the keyboard volume. When you set it to 0, you will find that the keyboard won’t produce any sound, no matter how high you set the [MASTER VOLUME] slider! You can press the [–] and [+] buttons repeatedly to change the value a little, or hold them down to change it quickly. Refer to page 23 for details on the KBD VOL function. ■ Using the LCD buttons .................................................................................. You can also increase a setting by simply pressing and holding the corresponding LCD button. For now, since you’ll want to hear your keyboard later on, press and hold the leftmost LCD button until the value for KBD VOL is back up to 127. This is why you should release the LCD button quickly when you select a function: you could end up raising its value when you want to lower it! Hold down to increase. 15 Once you’ve got the keyboard volume back where it belongs, you can learn about a couple of other ways to change settings. CVP-201 17 Using the LCD Display Controls ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ Changing a Setting in a Menu Display You can use either of the methods described previously to change the current voice selection. Just press RIGHT1 VOICE and hold the button down, or use the data dial or the [+] button to scan through the options. Try listening to a few of the voices while you’re at it… The problem with this method is that it can be hard to find the voice you’re looking for — after all, the Clavinova has more than 600 voices! So you’ll probably want to use a menu display to see what your choices are. Try pressing the [PIANO] button now. PIANO E. PIANO GUITAR Voice A voice is one of the sounds the Clavinova uses to make music. SYNTHESIZER When you press one of the VOICE buttons, the LCD displays a new set of functions listing the voices of that type. You should now be looking at a menu of piano voices. Refer to page 29 for more details about selecting voices. ■ Using the LCD buttons ................................................................................................. Each piano voice in this display is listed as a separate function in a rounded rectangle. This means that you can use the LCD buttons to select voices, just like you did to select the KBD VOL and RIGHT1 VOICE functions at the beginning of this tutorial. Press an LCD button to select the corresponding voice. ■ Using the data dial or [–] and [+] buttons ................................................ There is another way to select voices in this display. You can use the data dial or the [–] and [+] buttons to change the selection. Press [–] or turn the data dial counterclockwise to select a voice to the left; press [+] or turn the dial clockwise to select a voice to the right. Menu displays You will use menu displays for only two purposes: to select a voice, as shown here, or to select an accompaniment style (page 49). Use the data dial or [–] and [+] buttons to select a voice. Keep in mind that you can use the data dial or [–] and [+] buttons to select functions only when viewing a menu display. In other displays, these controls will change the value of the currently selected function instead. Try selecting different piano voices in this display before you move on to the next step. CVP-201 16 18 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Using the LCD Display Controls Displaying a Different Page As you were trying out the piano voices in the preceding step, you may have been surprised to see all the voice names suddenly replaced by an entirely different set of voices. Specifically, this occurs when you select the rightmost voice in the display (Midi Grand), then turn the data dial clockwise or press the [+] button. This happens because the CVP-201 has more piano voices than it can fit in the display. When one of the Clavinova’s features includes more functions than will fit in the display, the functions are divided among two or more display pages. The VOICE SELECT Piano display consists of two display pages, as shown below: Display pages Some displays are divided into two or more pages, indicated by a series of overlapping boxes in the upper right corner of the display. The number in the topmost box is the number of the current display page. PAGE Use the PAGE buttons to switch between pages. When a display is divided into pages, you can use PAGE buttons to change pages. Try it: press the [<] button to see page 1, or the [>] button to see page 2. Once you have displayed the desired page, you can use the LCD buttons select a voice in that page as described in the preceding step. Refer to page 138 for details about the functions on the FUNCTION [PEDAL] display page. Resetting a Function’s Value After you have changed a function’s value, you may find you want to restore its basic setting. To demonstrate this, we’ll have to look at another of the Clavinova’s displays. Press the [FUNCTION] button. FUNCTION MIXER 17 This button calls up one of the Clavinova’s FUNCTION displays. You can use this display to tune and transpose the keyboard. The TUNE function in this display corresponds to two LCD buttons labeled ▼ and ▲. You can use these buttons to tune the keyboard up or down. Press and hold the ▼ button (or use the data dial or the [–] button) to tune the keyboard down as far as it will go. Basic settings • The functions of the Clavinova are set to certain standard values or standard conditions when the instrument is shipped. These settings and conditions are called the basic settings. • A function’s basic settings are generally noted in the sidebar together with the possible settings for that function. • You can also use the Recall function (page 153) to restore basic settings at any time. Refer to page 136 for details on the TUNE and TRANSPOSE functions. CVP-201 19 Using the LCD Display Controls ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ If you play a few notes, you’ll notice that your Clavinova is flat by quite a bit. Now, let’s assume that you want to reset the keyboard to the standard 440.0 Hz. You could use the ▲ button (or the data dial, or the [+] button) to return the value to its basic setting — but there’s an easier way: When a function has a basic setting, you can reset it to that value by pressing both the ▲ and ▼ buttons (or both the [–] and [+] buttons) simultaneously. Try doing this now. There are some functions whose settings cannot be returned to the basic value by pressing the ▲ and ▼ buttons (or [–] and [+] buttons) simultaneously. When you’ve got the keyboard back in tune, you’re ready to go on to the next operation. Using Functions in Non-rounded Rectangles If you look at the upper right corner of the LCD, you’ll notice that the FUNCTION display consists of several display pages. Press the PAGE [>] key once to open the next page, which is titled FUNCTION [KEYBOARD 2]. We’ll use the functions on this page to discuss the next operation. In addition to the FIXED VELOCITY function, which is selected in this display, the FUNCTION [KEYBOARD 2] page has two functions in normal rectangles: KEY TOUCH and VOICE SETTING. Such functions cannot be selected; instead, pressing the corresponding LCD button changes the setting directly without selecting the function. CVP-201 18 20 The FIXED VELOCITY function is described on page 137. ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Using By pressing the LCD button under KEY TOUCH, for example, you can set the Clavinova’s response to how hard you play. The value displayed in the rectangle switches from NORMAL to SOFT, then FIXED, then HARD — but the FIXED VELOCITY function remains selected. The VOICE SETTING function determines whether reverb, chorus, effect, and other settings are automatically selected when a voice is selected. It works a little differently: when you press the LCD button, the highlighted setting switches between AUTO and MANUAL. Still, FIXED VELOCITY remains selected. the LCD Display Controls For more details on the KEY TOUCH function, refer to page 137. For more details on the VOICE SETTING function, refer to page 137. There are other sorts of functions that are displayed in non-rounded rectangles, like the ones you used to select a demo song in Demo mode (see page 14). The important thing to remember about these functions is that you don’t select them, you execute them. Now we’re ready to return to the main display. First, however, set the KEY TOUCH and VOICE SETTING functions back to NORMAL and AUTO, respectively. Exiting to the Main Display To exit the current display, press the [EXIT] button. EXIT The main display should show the name of the last piano voice that you selected in the VOICE SELECT Piano display. You can usually use [EXIT] to get back to the main display. In some cases, however, this button will return you to a previous setting display instead. When this happens, pressing [EXIT] again will get you back to the main display. Using the Direct Access Function The last function we need to discuss is Direct Access. The [DIRECT ACCESS] button lets you jump directly to pages with particularly useful settings. When you press [DIRECT ACCESS], the “Press a button to display corresponding settings” message will appear in the LCD display. 19 DIRECT ACCESS CVP-201 21 Using the LCD Display Controls ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ This message will remain onscreen for about three seconds. Press the button corresponding to the settings you want to display before the message disappears. Here is a list of pages you can access with Direct Access: [DIRECT ACCESS] plus: [HARMONY] [ACMP ON] [METRONOME] Any VOICE button [DUAL] [SPLIT] [REVERB](4) [EFFECT](4) [REGISTRATION] Displays: HARMONY ACCOMPANIMENT MODE METRONOME KEYBOARD [RIGHT1] (1) KEYBOARD [RIGHT2](2) KEYBOARD [LEFT](3) KEYBOARD [RIGHT2] KEYBOARD [LEFT] REVERB REVERB DEPTH EFFECT EFFECT DEPTH REGISTRATION [FREEZE] See page: 69 59 26 31 31 31 34 37 41 43 46 48 91 You can also press an appropriate button while holding down the [DIRECT ACCESS] button. (1) When RIGHT1 VOICE is selected in the main display. (2) When RIGHT2 VOICE is selected in the main display. (3) When LEFT VOICE is selected in the main display. (4) Selects whichever page was most recently displayed. ● A Word about Messages For ease of operation, the Clavinova displays various messages (like the message displayed by the Direct Access function as described above) that either prompt you to the next operation, ask for confirmation, or inform you that the last operation is not effective, valid, or appropriate. When such messages appear, follow the instructions as shown. For details about each message, please refer to the “Messages” section on page 165. ● Saving Your Changes Now that you’ve started learning how to change the Clavinova’s settings, you may be wondering whether it will remember the changes you’ve made even after you’ve turned the power off. The answer is yes — but you need to tell it which settings you want it to remember. By default, the Clavinova will not remember most of your setting changes. You have two ways to tell it which settings you want to remember: • You can register your settings with the Registration function (page 89). Once you have registered your settings, you can restore them at any time by pressing a couple of buttons. • You can instruct the Clavinova to remember certain settings when the power is off, and recall these settings when you turn the power back on. To do this, you need to change the settings of the Backup function (page 152). CVP-201 20 22 Adjusting the Volume ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ The Clavinova has two sliders that let you adjust the overall volume and the accompaniment or song playback volume.

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. • Certain voices in the [PERCUSSION] and [XG] groups may not be affected by use of the damper pedal. • Some voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after the notes have been released while the damper pedal is held. Sostenuto Pedal (Center) If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will be sustained as long as the pedal is held, but all subsequently played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played staccato. • Certain voices in the [PERCUSSION] and [XG] groups may not be affected by use of the sostenuto pedal. • Certain voices, such as [STRINGS] or [BRASS], sustain continuously when the sostenuto pedal is pressed. Soft Pedal (Left) Pressing this pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of the notes you play. You can also assign one of many other functions to this pedal; for example, you can use it to start/stop the Automatic Accompaniment, or use it to play Fill Ins. See page 138 for details. CVP-201 38 40 The effect of the soft pedal may differ slightly depending on the selected voice. 4: Reverb and Other Effects CHAPTER Reverb ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ Reverb is an effect that recreates the acoustic ambiance of a performance space — anything from a room in a jazz club to a concert hall.

To reset a value to its basic setting, simultaneously press the [–] and [+] buttons. 41 Because the basic settings of the LEFT, RIGHT1, and RIGHT2 functions depend on the voices selected, a reverb depth setting may change automatically when you select a different part. RHYTHM and ACMP • Range: 0 (no effect) — 127 (max.) • Basic setting: 64 LEFT, RIGHT1, and RIGHT2 • Range: 0 (no effect) — 127 (max.) • Basic setting: Depends on voice. The amount of reverb that is applied to a part depends on both the part depth and TOTAL DEPTH settings.

CVP-201 43 Chorus ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ The Clavinova’s chorus effects let you modify the voices you play from the keyboard, adding warmth for an even richer sound. Flanger effects add pronounced modulation, for a spacy futuristic quality. You can choose from a variety of chorus and flanger effects, and set the depth of the effect added to each keyboard voice. Changing the Chorus Settings Unlike the reverb (page 41) and other effects (page 46), which can be turned on or off using the appropriate panel buttons, the chorus feature is always considered to be “on.” How chorus is applied to any given voice depends on the current chorus type and depth settings.

AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT INTRO MAIN A AUTO FILL MAIN B MAIN C MAIN D ENDING FADE IN/OUT Use these buttons to select style variations. Main A is generally the most rudimentary form of the style; the other variations are more or less lavish embellishments on the same basic theme. By judiciously switching between variations as you play, you can add variety and make the performance more interesting. ■ Selecting a Variation ........................................................................................ You can select a style variation before you start playing the style. To select a variation, simply press the corresponding button. AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT INTRO MAIN A AUTO FILL MAIN B MAIN C MAIN D ENDING FADE IN/OUT ➔ The button’s lamp lights. The Clavinova will begin playing the selected style variation when you start the style using one of the methods described in the next section. ■ Playing Fill-in Patterns .................................................................................. 49 If you select a different style variation while the style is playing, the Clavinova will play an automatic fill-in pattern as it switches to the new variation. The fill-in pattern, like the main pattern, is different for each variation. Fill-in patterns A “fill-in pattern” is a embellishment of the basic rhythm, usually played at the end of a musical phrase as an exciting transition into the next segment. CVP-201 51 Playing the Accompaniment Styles ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ To change the variation while the style is playing, press the button corresponding to the new variation. ➔ The button’s lamp flashes as the Clavinova plays the fill-in pattern. Generally speaking, the Clavinova will start the fill-in pattern soon after you press the button. If you select a variation after the last eighth note of a measure, however, it will begin the fill-in pattern from the start of the next measure. Using the Pedals You can also use the left pedal to pause the style or play a special fill-in pattern by setting the LEFT PEDAL function (page 138) to BREAK or BREAK FIL. ➔ When the fill-in pattern is finished, the button’s lamp lights steadily as the Clavinova plays the main pattern. The auto fill-in feature provides an exciting transition as you switch from one variation to another. If Main A is playing and you press [MAIN B], for example, the Clavinova will play Fill-in B, then start playing Main B. You can also play fill-in patterns without selecting a different variation. Just press the button for the variation that is playing. The Clavinova will play the fill-in for that variation, then return to the main pattern. ■ More Fun With Fill-ins .................................................................................... ● Changing the Fill-in It is possible to switch variations while a fill-in pattern is playing. The Clavinova will switch to the fill-in pattern for the new variation, then continue with the new main pattern as usual. ● Repeating the Fill-in If you hold down the flashing button, or press it after the last eighth note of the measure while the fill-in pattern is playing, the fill-in pattern will be repeated. ● Canceling the Fill-in If you press the flashing button earlier than the last eighth note of the measure while the fill-in pattern is playing, the Clavinova will stop playing the fill-in pattern and continue with the main pattern. Starting the Accompaniment Style There are several ways to start the accompaniment style, as described below: ■ Standard Start ......................................................................................................... This is the simplest way to start a style. If necessary, select a variation as described on page 51, then press the [START/STOP] button.

Cm7 C D E F G A B • Minor Seventh [m7] Simultaneously press the root note of the chord and any white and black keys to the left of it (three keys at once). ● Multi Finger This method allows you to control the Auto Accompaniment using either the Single Finger method (described above) or the Fingered 1 method (described below). However, when indicating minor, seventh or minor seventh chords, it is necessary to play the white key and/or black key nearest the root note of the chord. ● Fingered 1 To control the Auto Accompaniment, play any chord in the left range of the keyboard (below and including the split point). Play the melody in the right range along with the Auto Accompaniment. • The automatic accompaniment will sometimes not change when related chords are played in sequence (e.g. some minor chords followed by the minor seventh). • If the Clavinova cannot recognize a chord you play, an asterisk “ * ” will appear instead of the chord name in the display. • Drums-only accompaniment can be produced by pressing any three consecutive keys (e.g., C, C#, D) simultaneously. This lets you create dynamic “drum breaks” in the accompaniment. A series of dashes “- - -” will appear instead of a chord name in the display. Two-note fingerings will produce a chord based on the previously played chord.

RHYTHM This part forms the basis of the accompaniment. The Rhythm part usually plays one of the drum kits. BASS The Bass part uses voices appropriate to each style, including acoustic bass and synth bass. CHORD The Chord part provides appropriate rhythmic chordal accompaniment for each style. You’ll find guitar, piano, and other chordal instruments here. PAD The Pad part plays long chords where necessary, using sustained instruments such as strings, organ, and choir. PHRASE The Phrase part is used for embellishments such as punchy brass stabs, arpeggiated chords, and other extras that make the accompaniment more interesting. The volume settings for the five accompaniment parts can be adjusted individually in the MIXER display page. • The overall accompaniment playback volume can be adjusted using the [ACMP/SONG VOLUME] slider. • By adjusting the volume balance of the various parts, or setting the volume of some parts to 0, you can create variations on the basic style accompaniment. • Some styles may not use all five accompaniment parts. • You can also adjust the level of reverb that is applied to the Auto Accompaniment parts.

The Style File Format features a unique conversion system that allows you to play exceptionally high-quality accompaniments with a variety of chord types. In addition to the internal styles, the Style File Format lets you use other sophisticated styles from optional Style File disks, as well as styles that were created and saved to disk in the Custom Style mode. Style files created for Clavinova models prior to the CVP-201 may have slightly different formats. If you try loading such files, the data may not play back as expected. (This also applies to the use of CVP-201 style data by earlier-model Clavinovas.) Loading Styles from a Disk Z Insert a disk. ........................................................................................................... Insert a disk containing style files into the disk drive. The [DISK IN USE] lamp will light briefly while the Clavinova reads and identifies the disk.

The CVP-201 can play back the following types of software. • Sequence formats: SMF (format 0 and 1), ESEQ • Voice allocation formats: GM System Level 1, XG, DOC The Lyric Display function (page 109) cannot be used with song data recorded in SMF format 1. Refer to “MIDI and Data Compatibility” (page 172) for information on the voice allocation formats and sequence formats. The internal tone generator of the CVP-201 automatically resets for compatibility with either the Yamaha XG format (including GM System Level 1) or the Yamaha DOC voice allocation (page 172), depending on the playback data. (However, the selected voice allocation on the panel will not change.) ■ Song Data Recorded on Other Instruments ........................ Song data recorded on other Clavinovas (CVP-50/70/55/65/75/83S/ 85A/87A/59S/69A/69/79A/89/92/94/96/98/600/109/107/105/700/103) will normally be played back with the correct voices even though the volume balance may be slightly different. However, data recorded using the Auto Accompaniment function of the CVP-50/70 cannot be played back properly. Song data recorded on the Yamaha Disklavier can also be played back. CVP-201 102 104 Regardless of the type of software, only the following disk formats can be used: 3.5" 2DD 720 kilobyte format and 3.5" 2HD 1.44 megabyte format. ○ Guide Control ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ The Clavinova has a special Guide function which allows you to practice by using the appropriate disk software. The “piano roll” display and the keyboard guide lamp indicate which keys you should play, and when you should play them.

Beginning players should practice first with Easy Play, then go on to Next Note, then Sound Repeat. “FOLLOW LIGHTS” and “CueTIME” software should be used with the Next Note method, as the Easy Play and Sound Repeat methods may not function properly with such software. GUIDE CONTROL EASY PLAY NEXT NOTE SOUND REPEAT ■ Practicing the Timing: Easy Play ..................................................... Since the Easy Play method lets you practice only the timing of the notes, you can play anywhere on the keyboard. The melody will play back smoothly when you play with the correct timing. (The accompaniment plays back normally in tempo.) ■ Practicing the Notes: Next Note ....................................................... 103 The Next Note method lets you check which notes to play by looking at the piano roll display and the keyboard guide lamps. Since the Clavinova waits to play the accompaniment until you play the correct note, you can practice at your own pace. The keyboard guide lamps indicate the timing in which to play, by changing from lit-up to flashing. If the guide lamps do not flash… The guide lamps may not flash in the case of a few songs because of a special guide system. In case of such songs, however, you can switch to the Next Note method so that the lamps flash, if you like. See the “Other Guide-related Functions” on page 108. If the guide lamps and piano roll are transposed up or down… The guide lamps and piano roll may be transposed up or down by one or two octaves for certain songs. The guide lamps and piano roll will not indicate notes exceeding the 88-key range of the keyboard. CVP-201 105 Guide Control ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ ■ Practicing Phrase-by-Phrase with the Playback: Sound Repeat .......................................................................................................

As soon as you play the phrase correctly, the Clavinova will automatically play the next phrase. ● Piano Roll To show the piano roll in the display, press any GUIDE CONTROL button, then press the [PLAY/STOP] button to start playback. A bar of the same length as the note to be played scrolls down from the top of the display toward the bottom. You should play the note at the time the bar reaches the bottom of the display. In order to play the note with the correct duration, hold the note for as long as the bar remains in the display. Number of Repeats You can set the number of times the phrase will be repeated in the SONG PLAY [GUIDE MODE] display (display page 5). (See page 109.) The keyboard guide lamps can be turned on or off as desired in the SONG PLAY [GUIDE MODE] display (display page 5). (See page 109.) Piano Roll ON/OFF The piano roll display can be turned on or off from the SONG PLAY [GUIDE MODE] display (display page 5). (See page 109.)

CVP-201 135 Keyboard ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ FUNCTION [KEYBOARD 1] Display — page 1 ■ Tune .................................................................................................................................... The Tune function lets you make fine adjustments to the pitch, allowing you to accurately match the tuning with that of other instruments. The frequency (in Hz) of A3 is displayed by the TUNE function. The tuning can be adjusted up or down a maximum of approximately 26 Hz (slightly over 100 cents) in 0.2-Hz steps. TUNE • Range: 414.8 Hz — 466.6 Hz (–102.1 — +101.62 cents) • Basic setting: 440 Hz Hz and Cents • Pitch is measured in units of Hertz (abbreviated Hz), which represents the number of times the sound wave vibrates in a second. • A cent is a unit of pitch equal to 1/100 of a semitone (100 cents = 1 semitone). • Tune has no effect on the Drum Kit voices. • The XG Master Tune setting is effective when playing back songs containing XG Master Tune data. ■ Transpose .................................................................................................................... TRANSPOSE functions • Range: –24 — +24 semitones (–2 — +2 octaves) • Basic setting: 0 The Transpose functions make it possible to shift the pitch of the keyboard or song data in semitone units, allowing you to match the pitch of the Clavinova to the range of other instruments or singers. The Clavinova has two transpose functions: ALL and SONG. The former transposes all notes played by the Clavinova, whereas the latter transposes song data only. When you change the setting of the ALL function, the SONG setting is also adjusted by the same amount. CVP-201 134 136 • The Transpose function does not affect the Drum Kit voices. • When playing back songs containing XG Transpose data, the XG Transpose data is effective only for the data playback sound. The value set on the panel affects the keyboard sound. • The values set here affect playback data transmitted via MIDI. • When a Transpose function is set to a high value, notes played in the corresponding range at the upper end of the keyboard (e.g., C5 through C7 for a value of +24) may not sound as expected. The same is true of notes at the lower end of the keyboard when a low Transpose value is set. ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ Keyboard FUNCTION [KEYBOARD 2] Display — page 2 ■ Key Touch & Fixed Velocity ...................................................................... The Key Touch function determines how velocity affects the volume of the voices played by the Clavinova’s keyboard. Select from four Key Touch settings to tailor the keyboard response to the selected voice, type of song, or your personal playing style. Press the KEY TOUCH button to change the setting. The data dial and [–] and [+] buttons cannot be used. Velocity • The amount of force applied to a key is frequently referred to in this manual as velocity. This is because the Clavinova determines the amount of force that was applied to a key by measuring the speed with which the key was depressed. • This function does not affect the actual weight of the keys. Key Touch Settings NORMAL This is the standard keyboard response and is used as the basic setting. SOFT This setting lets you produce a relatively loud sound even when playing the keys softly. FIXED This setting produces a uniform degree of loudness, no matter how forcefully or softly you play the keys. Use the FIXED VELOCITY function to set the loudness of notes produced by the keyboard. HARD This setting requires you to play the keys quite strongly to produce maximum loudness KEY TOUCH • Settings: See table at left. • Basic setting: NORMAL FIXED VELOCITY • Range: 1 — 127 • Basic setting: 76 ■ Voice Setting ............................................................................................................. 135 This function determines whether the basic reverb, chorus, effect, and other settings for each voice are automatically selected when a voice is selected.

CVP-201 144 146 MIDI ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ FUNCTION [MIDI 1] Display — page 9 ■ Send Channel (Keyboard) ......................................................................... In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels (1 through 16) of the transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched for proper data transfer. The SEND CH function lets you set the MIDI transmit channels for the keyboard parts. Part Explanation Basic Setting LEFT Left voice in Split mode (see page 36) 3 RIGHT1 Main voice 1 RIGHT2 Second voice in Dual mode (see page 33) 2 SEND CH • Settings: OFF, 1 — 16 • Basic setting: See table at left. You can set each keyboard part to transmit on a separate channel. If you set a part to OFF, the MIDI data for that part will not be transmitted. ● MIDI Reception The Clavinova always receives MIDI data in the “Multi Timbre” mode. This is a mode in which the Clavinova voices can be independently controlled on different MIDI channel numbers (1 through 16) by an external MIDI device. This means that you can produce the sound of a full band or ensemble on the Clavinova by using a computer or MIDI sequencer. ■ Local Control .......................................................................................................... 145 The term “local control” refers to the control of the internal tone generator by the keyboard. You will normally play the Clavinova with the Local Control function set to ON. Turning off the local control separates the keyboard from the tone generator, so that the Clavinova will not output any sound when you play the keyboard. Since keyboard performance data is still output via the MIDI jacks, however, you can use this setting when you want to play an external MIDI tone generator from the Clavinova’s keyboard without sounding the internal voices. To turn the local control on or off, press the LOCAL button. The data dial and [–] and [+] buttons cannot be used. LOCAL • Settings: ON, OFF • Basic setting: ON CVP-201 147 MIDI ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ ■ Synchronization .................................................................................................... The playback tempo of a song or style is normally controlled by the Clavinova’s internal clock. When you want the Clavinova’s playback tempo to be controlled by an external sequencer or rhythm machine, you should set the synchronization function to use an external clock. You might use this function, for example, to play the Auto Accompaniment of the Clavinova in perfect synchronization with an external sequencer. To switch the synchronization from an internal clock to an external clock (or vice versa), press the SYNC. button. The data dial and the [–] and [+] buttons cannot be used. SYNC. • Settings: INT. (internal clock), EXT. (external clock) • Basic setting: INT. FUNCTION [MIDI 2] Display — page 10 ■ MIDI Filter ................................................................................................................. The FUNCTION [MIDI 2] display contains MIDI filter settings that can be used to enable or prevent the transmission and reception of certain types of MIDI data. ● Program Change Messages Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI program change numbers received from an external keyboard or another MIDI device. For example, the Clavinova can change voices in response to MIDI program change messages received from a connected MIDI sequencer. (These messages do not affect the keyboard-played voices.) The voices of connected external MIDI devices can also be changed by program change messages transmitted from the Clavinova. (Program change messages are transmitted when changing voices on the panel of the Clavinova.) Depending on your particular MIDI setup, you may find that this feature is convenient in some cases and not in others. Set the PROGRAM function to OFF to disable the transmission and reception of program change messages. CVP-201 Bank MSB and LSB messages can be transmitted and received even when PROGRAM is set to OFF. 146 148 PROGRAM • Settings: Tx&Rx (transmitted/received), OFF • Basic setting: Tx&Rx ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ MIDI ● Control Change Messages Control change messages are used for various non-keyboard performance controls, such as the damper pedal, or for expressive control of the sound of a connected MIDI device, such as effects and volume. For example, the Clavinova can respond to control change messages transmitted from an external MIDI sequencer. (These messages do not affect the keyboard-played voices.) Similarly, an external MIDI device can be controlled by sending control change messages from the Clavinova to that device. (Control change messages are transmitted when operating the damper pedal, etc., on the Clavinova.) Set CONTROL to OFF to disable the transmission and reception of control change messages. The control change data recognized by the Clavinova is listed in detail on page 14 in the Reference Booklet. CONTROL • Settings: Tx&Rx (transmitted/received), OFF • Basic setting: Tx&Rx ● System Exclusive Messages System exclusive messages are used for more advanced or detailed MIDI control, or for controls related to specific manufacturer’s devices. Set SYS EX. to OFF to disable the transmission and reception of system exclusive messages. The system exclusive data recognized by the Clavinova is listed in detail on page 16 in the Reference Booklet. SYS EX. • Settings: Tx&Rx (transmitted/received), OFF • Basic setting: Tx&Rx ● Start/Stop Commands A device that transmits the Start/Stop command can start and stop the rhythm or sequence data performance of a receiving device via MIDI. For example, you can transmit the Start/Stop command from an external MIDI sequencer to start and stop the Auto Accompaniment or song playback on the Clavinova. Also, an external MIDI sequencer or rhythm machine can be started and stopped by starting and stopping the Auto Accompaniment on the Clavinova. Set START/STOP to ON to enable the transmission and reception of Start/Stop commands. START/STOP • Settings: Tx&Rx (transmitted/received), OFF • Basic setting: OFF FUNCTION [MIDI 3] Display — page 11 ■ Receive Filter ........................................................................................................... 147 The Receive Filter function lets you prevent the Clavinova from receiving channel-specific MIDI messages — such as note data and control changes — on certain MIDI channels. This function is useful, for example, when you want to control some of the Clavinova’s voices exclusively from an external sequencer, and others using only the Clavinova’s keyboard or its built-in Auto Accompaniment and Song mode functions. (You can also have the Clavinova ignore channels carrying messages that are intended for another instrument connected to the Clavinova’s MIDI [THRU] terminal.) By default, the Clavinova will receive messages on all 16 channels. Use the following procedure to enable or disable the reception of a channel: RECEIVE FILTER • Settings: ON, OFF (x 16) • Basic setting: ON (x 16) CVP-201 149 MIDI ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ Z Select the channel.

If the HARMONY function is set to 6–8ch, the notes added by the harmony types listed below are transmitted via the MIDI [OUT] terminal over MIDI channels 6 through 8. CVP-201 148 150 SEND CH (ACMP&RHY) • Settings: OFF (not transmitted), 9–16ch (transmitted) • Basic setting: OFF SEND CH (HARMONY) • Settings: OFF (not transmitted), 6–8ch (transmitted) • Basic setting: OFF ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ MIDI Harmony types transmitted on channels 6 through 8: • Echo • Add Jazz Gtr • Tremolo • Add Brass • Trill • Add Strings • Strumming • In The Forest * See page 69 for details on the Harmony function. Notes added by other harmony types are always transmitted on the RIGHT1 channel (page 147), regardless of this setting. The rhythm, accompaniment, and harmony parts can be recorded by a computer or external sequencer when these functions are turned on. • When transmitting rhythm, accompaniment, or harmony part data via MIDI, do not select the MIDI channels used by these parts as the send channels (page 147) used to transmit the data for your keyboard performance. Doing so may result in your keyboard performance data being mixed with the Auto Accompaniment or Harmony data. • If ACMP&RHY or HARMONY is turned on, the data for the corresponding part(s) will be transmitted via MIDI, even if the RIGHT1 send channel (page 147) has been turned off. ■ Song Transmission ............................................................................................ When the SONG function is set to ON, the Clavinova will transmit song data via the MIDI [OUT] terminal. Select this setting when you want an external tone generator to sound in response to song data played back by the Clavinova. The transmission of song data is turned off by default.

You can connect headphones, a stereo system, or PA equipment for audio output, as well as input from a tone generator or other instrument. CAUTION Be sure to turn off the power when connecting or disconnecting audio equipment, as failing to do so can result in damage to speakers and other problems. PHONES Headphones To use headphones, connect them to one of the [PHONES] jacks (standard 1/ 4" phone jacks) located below the left end of the keyboard. The Clavinova’s built-in speaker system is automatically shut off when a pair of headphones are connected. Two people can enjoy listening to the Clavinova together by connecting two pairs of headphones to the two jacks. Recommended Headphones: Yamaha HPE-160 headphones Audio Input and Output You can connect the Clavinova to a wide range of audio equipment by using the AUX IN and AUX OUT jacks, which are located at the left end of the unit on the rear panel. ■ AUX IN Jacks ........................................................................................................... AUX IN R L/L+R Tone Generator CVP-201 CAUTION Never connect the Clavinova’s AUX OUT jacks to its AUX IN jacks, either directly or via external audio equipment. Such connections could result in a feedback loop that will make normal performance impossible, and may even damage the Clavinova. The volume of the audio signal input at the AUX IN jacks is affected by the [MASTER VOLUME] slider. 156 158 The sounds of other instruments or tone generator modules can be output through the speaker system of the Clavinova by connecting audio cables to the AUX IN jacks as shown here. Use the AUX IN [L/L+R] jack for monophonic input. For stereo input, connect the left channel output to the AUX IN [L/L+R] jack, and the right channel output to the AUX IN [R] jack. ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ Audio Connections ■ AUX OUT Jacks .................................................................................................... AUX OUT R L/L+R 157 Stereo System By connecting audio cables to the AUX OUT jacks as shown here, you can output the sound of the Clavinova to a stereo system, amplifier, mixing console, or recording equipment. Since the AUX OUT jacks provide output at a fixed level, you will need to use the controls on the connected equipment to adjust the overall volume of the sound from the Clavinova. Use the AUX OUT [L/L+R] jack for monophonic output. For stereo output, connect the AUX OUT [L/L+R] jack to the left channel input, and the AUX OUT [R] jack to the right channel input. CVP-201 159 Data Connections ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ You can use the MIDI terminals to connect your Clavinova to a wide range of MIDI devices, including personal computers, sequencers, tone generators, and so on. In addition, the Clavinova features a [TO HOST] connector that lets you connect it directly to an Apple Macintosh, IBM-PC/ AT, or other compatible personal computer without the use of a special MIDI interface. CAUTION Be sure to turn off the power when connecting or disconnecting computers or MIDI equipment, as failing to do so can result in damage to equipment. “The Clavinova-Computer Connection” is a supplementary guidebook that describes, for beginners, what you can do with your Clavinova and a personal computer and how to set up a Clavinova-Computer system (the manual is not written for any specific models). The document is available as a PDF file (in English) at the following Internet address: Clavinova Home Page: http://www.yamaha.co.jp/english/product/cl/ Yamaha Manual Library (Electronic Musical Instruments) http://www2.yamaha.co.jp/manual/english/ Connecting MIDI Equipment Use MIDI cables to connect the MIDI terminals on the Clavinova to other MIDI devices. The Clavinova’s MIDI terminals are located at the left of the unit on the rear panel. Tone generators or other devices to be controlled by the Clavinova can be connected to the MIDI [OUT] terminal. Devices that will control the Clavinova should be connected to the MIDI [IN] terminal. If you have a personal computer or sequencer that will control the Clavinova, you may want to connect it to both the [IN] and [OUT] terminals to allow two-way communication. In this case, any other instruments to be controlled by the same device can be connected to the Clavinova’s MIDI [THRU] terminal. When you use the MIDI termiMIDI nals, set the [HOST SELECT] HOST SELECT PC-1 PC-2 switch to the MIDI position. The MIDI Mac MIDI terminals will not transmit or receive data if this switch is set to any other position. You can set the Clavinova’s MIDI parameters using pages 9 MIDI Sequencer Tone Generator through 12 of the FUNCTION display (see page 147 through 150). IN OUT [TO HOST] or MIDI? • If you simply want to connect your Clavinova to a personal computer, it may be more convenient to use the [TO HOST] terminal, as your computer won’t need a special MIDI interface to make that connection. • The MIDI terminals are particularly convenient when you want the Clavinova to function as part of a more extensive MIDI setup. THRU Connecting to a Host Computer You can connect the Clavinova to an Apple Macintosh, IBM-PC/AT, or compatible personal computer using the [TO HOST] connector, which is located at the left of the unit on the rear panel. If you do, be sure to set the adjacent [HOST SELECT] switch to the appropriate setting for your computer model.

If the instrument is not turned on for a week or longer, however, the data may be lost. This message appears when the Clavinova is turned on after data has been lost. It also appears when you recall all factory data (page 153.) CVP-201 169 Troubleshooting Problem Cause Solution The Clavinova does not turn on. The Clavinova has not been plugged in properly. Securely insert the female plug into the socket on the Clavinova, 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, and is no cause for concern. Noise is heard from the Clavinova’s speakers. The noise may be due to interference caused by the use of a mobile phone in close proximity to the Clavinova. Turn off the mobile phone, or use it further away from the Clavinova. The display is too bright or too dark to read. The brightness may be affected by the surrounding temperature. Adjust the contrast of the display using the [CONTRAST] control. (See page 11.) The keyboard volume is low compared to that of the Auto Accompaniment or song playback. Either the overall keyboard volume or the independent volume level of the keyboard part is set too low. Increase the overall keyboard level in the main display (page 23), or use the VOLUME function in the appropriate KEYBOARD display (pages 32, 34, or 37) to raise the volume of the keyboard part in question. The volume of the Auto Accompaniment or song playback is low compared to that of the keyboard. The [ACMP/SONG VOLUME] is set too low. Raise the [ACMP/SONG VOLUME] level. The volume level of one or more accompaniment parts or song tracks is set too low. Raise the part or track level(s) in the appropriate MIXER display (page 65 or 100). The overall volume is low, or no sound is heard. The [MASTER VOLUME] is set too low. Raise the [MASTER VOLUME] level. Headphones are connected. Unplug the headphones. The Local Control function is turned off. Turn the Local Control function on. (See page 147.) The damper pedal has no effect, or the sound continuously sustains even when the damper pedal is not pressed. The pedal cord plug is not connected. Securely insert the pedal cord plug into the proper jack. (See page 34 in the Reference booklet.) Style or song playback does not start. The MIDI Sync function is set to EXT. Set the MIDI Sync function to INT. (See page 148.) When the keyboard is played, not all of the notes sound. The Clavinova’s total simultaneous polyphonic capacity (maximum number of notes) has been exceeded. Since the configuration of the tone generation system is such that later notes have priority, previous notes may occasionally be cut off. (See “Specifications” in the Reference Booklet for details about the simultaneous polyphonic capacity.)

The Auto Accompaniment is not turned on. Press the [ACMP ON] button to turn on the Auto Accompaniment. The desired chord is not recognized or output by the Auto Accompaniment. The keys are not being played correctly. Refer to the Fingering Chart (page 12 of the Reference Booklet). The keys are not being played according to the selected accompaniment mode. Check the accompaniment mode, and play the keys according to the selected mode. (See page 59.) The maximum of 60 songs cannot be recorded. The memory capacity is full because the playing time of one or more songs is long, or many functions were used. Delete unnecessary songs (page 144) or record to a new disk. Some tracks do not play back when playing back data. Playback of the track(s) is turned off. Turn on playback for the tracks that you want to hear. (See pages 97 and 100.) CVP-201 171 MIDI and Data Compatibility ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ■ MIDI ● Sequence Format MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a worldwide standard communication interface that allows MIDI-compatible musical instruments and equipment to share musical information and control one another. • Depending on the MIDI device, the transmittable/receivable data differs, and only data which is commonly recognized among the connected MIDI devices can be transmitted or received. You can check whether your instrument supports certain data types by referring to the MIDI Implementation Chart in the owner’s manual for that instrument. The MIDI Implementation Chart for the CVP-201 is found on page 30 in the Reference Booklet. MIDI Terminals Data received via the MIDI IN terminal is retransmitted unchanged through this terminal. This terminal transmits the MIDI data. This terminal receives the MIDI data. THRU OUT IN MIDI MIDI Cable Connect MIDI devices with special MIDI cables. • MIDI settings can be made in the MIDI pages of the Function mode display. (See pages 147 through 150.) • Further information on MIDI and its applications is available in various music books and magazines. ■ Data Compatibility This section covers basic information on data compatibility: whether or not other MIDI devices can playback the data recorded by CVP-201, and whether or not the CVP-201 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. ● Basic Check Points The data and the MIDI device must match in regards to the items below. • Disk Format • Sequence format • Voice allocation format ● Disk format Floppy disks are the main storage medium for data used with various devices, including computers. Different devices have different systems of storing data, therefore it is necessary to first configure the floppy disk to the system of the device being used. This operation is called “formatting.” • There are two types of floppy disks: MF2DD (double sided, double density) and MF2HD (double sided, high density), and each type has different formatting systems. • CVP-201 can record and playback with both types of floppy disks. • When formatted by the CVP-201, a 2DD disk stores up to 720 KB (kilobytes) and a 2HD disk stores up to 1.44 MB (megabytes). (The figures “720 KB” and “1.44 MB” indicate the data memory capacity. They are also used to indicate the format type of disk.) • Playback is only possible when the MIDI device to be used is compatible with the format of the disk. CVP-201 [Common Sequence Formats] SMF (Standard MIDI File) This is the most common sequence format. • Standard MIDI Files are generally available as one of two types: Format 0 or Format 1. • Many MIDI devices are compatible with Format 0, and most commercially available software is recorded as Format 0. • The CVP-201 is compatible with both Format 0 and Format 1 (for Format 1, up to a maximum of 17 chunks). • Song data recorded on the CVP-201 is automatically recorded 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-201 is compatible with ESEQ. ● 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. [Main Voice Allocation Formats] GM System Level 1 This is one of the most common voice allocation formats. • Many MIDI devices are compatible with GM System Level 1, as is most commercially available software. • The CVP-201 is compatible with GM System Level 1. 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. • The CVP-201 is compatible with XG. • Song data recorded on the CVP-201 using voices in the [XG] category is XG-compatible. DOC This voice allocation format is compatible with many of Yamaha’s MIDI devices, including the Clavinova series instruments. This is also a common format used with various Yamaha software. • The CVP-201 is compatible with DOC. Even if the devices and data used satisfy all the conditions above, the data may still not be completely compatible, depending on the specifications of the devices and particular data recording methods. 170 172 The system which records song data is called “sequence format.” • Playback is only possible when the sequence format of the disk matches that of the MIDI device.
