IMPORTANT —Check your power supply—

Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the name plate on the

bottom panel. In some areas a voltage selector may be provided on the bottom panel of the main

keyboard unit near the power cord. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area.

The voltage selector is set at 240V when the unit is initially shipped. To change the setting use a "minus"

screwdriver to rotate the selector dial so that the correct voltage appears next to the pointer on the panel.

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

PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from

electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, ﬁre or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to,

the following:

• Only use the voltage speciﬁed as correct for the instrument. The required

voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may

have accumulated on it.

• Use only the supplied power cord/plug.

• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators,

and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy

objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or

roll anything over it.

• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or

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

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

inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

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

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

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

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

the instrument inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

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

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

A burning item may fall over and cause a ﬁre.

• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden

loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke

should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch,

disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected

by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage

to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold

the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used

for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-

connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause

overheating in the outlet.

• Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly process.

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

damage to the instrument or even injury.

• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold

or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to

prevent the possibility of panel disﬁguration or damage to the internal

components.

• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment,

mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio

may generate noise.

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

fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.

• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is

easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off

the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the

power switch is turned off, electricity is still ﬂowing to the product at the

minimum level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure

to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

• 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.

• In the case of a model with a polished ﬁnish, gently remove dust and dirt with

a soft cloth. Do not wipe too hard since small particles of dirt can scratch the

instrument's ﬁnish.

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

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

cloths.

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

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

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

water off immediately with a soft cloth.

•Take care that the key cover does not pinch your ﬁngers, and do not insert a

ﬁnger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or instrument.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the key

cover, panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and

unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected

by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this

might discolor the panel or keyboard.

• In the case of a model with a polished ﬁnish, bumping the surface of the

instrument with metal, porcelain, or other hard objects can cause the ﬁnish to

crack or peel. Use caution.

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do

not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of time at a

high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing

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

physician.

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

over.

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

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

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

possibility of accident or injury.

• Do not attempt to adjust the bench height while sitting on the bench, since this

can cause excessive force to be imposed on the adjustment mechanism,

possibly resulting in damage to the mechanism or even injury.

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

them periodically using the included tool.

Saving and backing up your data

• Edited Songs/Styles/Voices and MIDI settings are lost when you turn off the

power to the instrument. Save the data to the USER tab display (page 68), USB

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

• Data in the USER tab display may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect

operation. Save important data to a USB storage device.

When you change settings in a display page and then exit from that

page, Data other than above (edited Songs/Styles/Voices and MIDI

settings, etc.) is automatically stored. However, this edited data is

lost if you turn off the power without properly exiting from the

relevant display.

Backing up the USB storage device

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

save your important data onto two USB storage devices.

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.

The instrument is compatible with the following formats.

“GM (General MIDI)” is one of the most common Voice allocation formats. “GM System Level 2” is a standard

speciﬁcation that enhances the original “GM” and improves Song data compatibility. It provides for increased

polyphony, greater Voice selection, expanded Voice parameters, and integrated effect processing.

XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha speciﬁcally to pro-

vide more Voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects, and to ensure compat-

ibility of data well into the future.

GS was developed by the Roland Corporation. In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major enhancement of the

GM speciﬁcally to provide more Voices and Drum kits and their variations, as well as greater expressive control

over Voices and effects.

The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater functionality and open-

ended expandability for the future. This instrument is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF ﬁle containing lyric

data is played.

“SFF (Style File Format)” is an original Style ﬁle format by Yamaha which uses a unique conversion system to pro-

vide high-quality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types. “SFF GE (Guitar Edition)” is an

enhanced format of SFF, which features improved note transposition for guitar tracks.

VH (Vocal Harmony) employs the digital signal processing technology to automatically add appropriate vocal har-

monies to a lead vocal line sung by the user.

■ Instrument and Bench Maintenance

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth.

If you are using a model with a polished ﬁnish, gently remove dust and dirt with a soft cloth. Do not wipe too hard

since small particles of dirt can scratch the instrument's ﬁnish.

To keep the surface polished, apply commercially available piano polisher to a soft cloth and wipe the instrument’s

surface with it. Then, polish it with a separate cloth. Before using any piano polisher, make sure to read the

instructions for proper usage.

• Tighten the screws of the instrument and bench periodically.

■ Bench Height Adjustment

The bench height can be adjusted by rotating the handle. Rotating clockwise heightens the bench. (Before shipment,

the handle is ﬁrmly fastened.)

■ Pedal Cleaning

As with an acoustic piano, pedals may become tarnished across the ages. When this occurs, polish the pedal with a

compound designed for piano pedals. Before using the compound, make sure to read the instructions for proper

usage.

■ Tuning

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

■ Transporting

If you move to another location, you can transport the instrument along with other belongings. You can move the unit

as it is (assembled) or you can disassemble the unit down to the condition it was in when you ﬁrst took it out of the

box. Transport the keyboard horizontally. Do not lean it up against a wall or stand it up on its side. Do not subject the

instrument to excessive vibration or shock.

When transporting the assembled instrument, make

sure all screws are properly tightened and have not

been loosened by moving the instrument.

(CVP-509) After transporting the instrument, do the

following to ensure optimum performance of the

iAFC function (page 34).

• Place the Clavinova so that its rear panel is at least

10 cm away from the wall.

• (When using the SPATIAL EFFECT) Perform the

automatic adjustment of the iAFC function.

Maintenance

To keep your Clavinova in optimum condition, we recommend that you

periodically follow the maintenance points below.

CAUTION

Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning ﬂuids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.

• Voice Characteristics

The Voice type and its deﬁning characteristics are indicated above the Voice

name—Live!, Cool!, Sweet!, etc. For detailed explanation, refer to the Reference

Manual.

In this section, only MegaVoice and Super Articulation Voices (SA and SA2) are

explained. These Voices have special characteristics you should be aware of, and

they require speciﬁc performance techniques to bring out all of their expressive

qualities.

MegaVoices (CVP-509/505/503)

What makes MegaVoices special is their use of velocity switching. Each velocity

range (the measure of your playing strength) has a completely different sound.

For example, a guitar MegaVoice includes the sounds of various performance

techniques. In conventional instruments, different Voices having those sounds

would be called up via MIDI and played in combination to achieve the desired

effect. However, now with MegaVoices, a convincing guitar part can be played

with just a single Voice, using speciﬁc velocity values to play the desired sounds.

Because of the complex nature of these Voices and the precise velocities need to

play the sounds, they’re not intended for playing from the keyboard. They are,

however, very useful and convenient when creating MIDI data—especially when

you want to avoid using several different Voices just for a single instrument part.

Super Articulation Voices (CVP-509/505)

The word “articulation” in music usually refers to the transition or continuity

between notes. This is often reﬂected in speciﬁc performance techniques, such as

staccato, legato and slur. Two types of Voices—Super Articulation (SA) Voices

and Super Articulation 2 (SA2) Voices—enable you to create these subtle

musical expressions, simply by how you play. (SA2 Voices are available only on

the CVP-509.)

• SA Voices (S.Articulation!)

The SA Voices provide many of same beneﬁts as the MegaVoices, but with

greater playability and expressive control in real time.

For example, with the Saxophone Voice, if you play a C and then a D in a

very legato way, you will hear the note change seamlessly, as though a

saxophone player played it in a single breath. Similarly with the Concert

Guitar Voice, the D note would sound as a “hammer on,” without the string

being plucked again.

Depending on how you play, other effects such as shake or breath noises (for

the Trumpet Voice), or ﬁnger noises (for the Guitar Voice) will be produced.

Voice Types

Percussion/Drum Voices

When one of the Voices is selected from this button,

you can play various drums and percussion instru-

ments or SFX (sound effects) sounds on the key-

board. Details are given in the Drum List of the

separate Data List.

Organ Flutes Voices

(page 46)

NOTE

MegaVoices, SA and SA2 Voices are

only compatible with other models

which have those types of Voices

installed. Any Song or Style data

you’ve created on the instrument

using these Voices will not sound

properly when played back on other

instruments.

NOTE

MegaVoices, SA and SA2 Voices

sound differently depending on the

keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc.

Hence, if you apply HARMONY/ECHO

effect, change the transpose setting or

change the Voice Set parameters,

unexpected or undesired sounds may

result.

CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual 41

Voices – Playing the keyboard –

• SA2 Voices (S. Articulation2!) (CVP-509)

Mainly for wind instrument Voices, a special Yamaha technology called

AEM has been used, which features detailed samples of special expressive

techniques used on those speciﬁc instruments—to bend or slide into notes, to

“join” different notes together, or to add expressive nuances at the end of a

note, etc.

You can add these articulations by playing legato or staccato, or by jumping

in pitch by around an octave. For example, using the Clarinet Voice, if you

hold a C note and play the Bb above, you’ll hear a glissando up to the Bb.

Some “note off” effects are also produced automatically when you hold a

note for over a certain time.

You can also use the pedals to add articulations to the SA and SA2 Voices (page 43).

For details on how to best play each SA and SA2 Voice, call up the information

window (pressing the [7 ▲] (INFO) button in the Voice Selection display).

NOTE

The characteristics of SA2 Voices

(default vibrato setting and articula-

tion effects applied by the pedals) are

effective for real-time performance;

however, these effects may not be

completely reproduced when you play

back a Song which has been recorded

using SA2 Voices.

AEM Technology

When you play the piano, pressing a “C” key produces a deﬁnite and relatively

ﬁxed C note. When you play a wind instrument, however, a single ﬁngering may

produce several different sounds depending on the breath strength, the note

length, the adding of trills or bend effects, and other performance techniques.

Also, when playing two notes continuously—for example “C” and “D”—these

two notes will be smoothly joined, and not sound independent as they would on a

piano.

AEM (Articulation Element Modeling) is the technology for simulating this

characteristic of instruments. During performance, the most appropriate sound

samples are selected in sequence in real time, from huge quantities of sampled

data. They are smoothly joined and sounded—as would naturally occur on an

actual acoustic instrument.

This technology to smoothly join different samples enables the application of

realistic vibrato. Conventionally on electronic musical instruments, vibrato is

applied by moving the pitch periodically. AEM technology goes much further by

analyzing and disaggregating the sampled vibrato waves, and smoothly joins the

disaggregated data in real time during your performance.

Voices – Playing the keyboard –

With the center/left pedals, you can add articulation effects and characteristic

instrument performance sounds to your playing. When you select a SA or SA2

Voice, the function of center and left pedals are switched to control articulation

effects.

Three examples of effects are introduced to the following. The applied articulation

effect differs depending on the selected Voice. For details, refer to the Information

display called up by pressing the [7 ▲] (INFO) button on the Voice Selection

display.

■ Pressing a pedal triggers different playing effects, separate from your keyboard

playing. For example, pressing a pedal for a saxophone Voice can produce breath

noises or key noises, while doing the same for a guitar Voice can produce fret

noises or body-tapping sounds. You can effectively intersperse these into the notes

as you play.

■ Playing the keyboard while pressing a pedal changes the nature of Voice. For

example, in the case of the nylon guitar Voice, pressing the corresponding pedal

lets you play harmonics for the guitar Voice. Releasing the pedal returns the Voice

to normal.

■ When an SA2 Voice is selected (CVP-509), pressing a pedal and playing/releasing

a note enables you to add articulation effects, such as bend up/down, glissando

up/down, brass fall, etc.

– Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment –

The instrument features a variety of accompaniment and

rhythmic backing patterns (called “Styles”) in a variety of

different musical genres including pop, jazz, and many

others. The Style features Auto Accompaniment, letting

you produce automatic accompaniment playback simply

by playing “chords” with your left hand. This lets you

automatically recreate the sound of a full band or

orchestra—even if you’re playing by yourself.

Rhythm is one of the most important parts of a Style. Try to play the melody along

with just the rhythm. You can sound different rhythms for each Style. Keep in mind,

however, that not all Styles contain rhythm channels.

1 Press one of the STYLE category selection buttons to call up

the Style Selection display.

2 Press one of the [A] – [J] buttons to select the desired Style.

Pressing one of the [1▲] – [4▲] buttons or pressing the same STYLE button

again can call up the other display page.

Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment –

Style Characteristics

The Style type and its deﬁning characteristics are indicated on the Preset

Style icon.

• Pro (P): These Styles provide professional and exciting arrangements

combined with perfect playability. The resulting accompaniment exactly

follows the chords of the player. As a result, your chord changes and col-

orful harmonies are instantly transformed into lifelike musical accompani-

ment.

• Session (S): These Styles provide even greater realism and authentic back-

ing by mixing in original chord types and changes, as well as special riffs

with chord changes, with the Main sections. These have been programmed

to add “spice” and a professional touch to your performances of certain

songs and in certain genres. Keep in mind, however, that the Styles may

not necessarily be appropriate—or even harmonically correct-for all songs

and for all chord playing. In some cases for example, playing a simple

major triad for a country song may result in a “jazzy” seventh chord, or

playing an on-bass chord may result in inappropriate or unexpected

accompaniment.

• Free Play (F) (CVP-509/505): These Styles are characterized by rubato

performance. You can perform freely with remarkably expressive accom-

paniment, without being constrained by a strict tempo.

• Pianist (P): These special Styles provide piano-only accompaniment. Just

by playing the proper chords with your left hand, you can automatically

add complicated, professional-sounding arpeggios and bass/chord pat-

terns.

Style ﬁle compatibility

The CVP-509/505/503/501 uses the SFF GE ﬁle format (page 9). The CVP-

509/505/503/501 can play back existing SFF ﬁles, but they will be saved in

the SFF GE format when the ﬁle is saved (or pasted) in the CVP-509/505/

503/501. Please keep in mind that the saved ﬁle can only be played back on

instruments that are compatible with the SFF GE format.

Following types can be selected, for example.

• Single Finger

This method lets you easily play chords in the accompaniment range of the keyboard using only one,

two or three ﬁngers.

• AI Full Keyboard

Playing just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard using both hands – like playing the piano –

produces appropriate accompaniment. You don’t have to worry about specifying the chords. (Depending

on the song arrangement, AI Full Keyboard may not always produce appropriate accompaniment.)

For other types, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.

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

(softness/loudness) of an audio signal. For signals that vary widely in dynamics,

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

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

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

By connecting a USB storage device to the instrument’s [USB TO DEVICE] terminal, you can save data you’ve

created to the device.

Connecting a USB Storage Device

Precautions when using the [USB TO

DEVICE] terminal

When connecting a USB device to the terminal, be sure to

handle the USB device with care. Follow the important pre-

cautions below.

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

manual of the USB device.

■ Compatible USB devices

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

hard disk drive, etc.)

• USB-LAN adaptor

• USB hub

The instrument does not necessarily support all commer-

cially available USB devices. Yamaha cannot guarantee oper-

ation of USB devices that you purchase. Before purchasing a

USB device for use with this instrument, please visit the fol-

lowing web page:

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

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

■ Connecting a USB device

•

When connecting a USB device to the [USB TO

DEVICE] terminal, make sure that the connector on the

device is appropriate and that it is connected in the

proper direction.

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

the top panel, remove it before closing the key cover. If the key

cover is closed with the USB device connected, the USB device may

be damaged.

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

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

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

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

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

USB hub, disconnect the hub from the instrument, then

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

USB hub.

• Though the instrument supports the USB 1.1 standard,

you can connect and use a USB 2.0 storage device with

the instrument. However, note that the transfer speed is

that of USB 1.1.

Using USB Storage Devices

By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device, you

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

as read data from the connected device.

Although CD-R/RW drives can be used to read data to the instrument, they can-

not be used for saving data.

■ The number of USB storage device to be used

Up to two USB storage devices can be connected to the

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

The number of USB storage devices that can be used simul-

taneously with musical instruments even when a USB hub is

used is a maximum of two.) This instrument can recognize

up to four drives in one USB storage device.

■ Formatting USB storage media

When a USB storage device is connected or media is

inserted, a message may appear prompting you to format the

device/media. If so, execute the Format operation (page 107).

The format operation overwrites any previously existing data. Make

sure that the media you are formatting does not contain important

data. Proceed with caution, especially when connecting multiple

USB storage media.

■ To protect your data (write-protect)

To prevent important data from being inadvertently erased,

apply the write-protect provided with each storage device or

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

make sure to disable write-protect.

■ Connecting/removing USB storage device

Before removing the media from the device, make sure that

the instrument is not accessing data (such as in the Save,

Copy and Delete operations).

Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB storage

device, or connecting/disconnecting the device too often. Doing so

may result in the operation of the instrument “freezing” or hanging

up. While the instrument is accessing data (such as during Save,

Copy, Delete, Load and Format operations) or is mounting the USB

storage device (shortly after the connection), do NOT unplug the

USB connector, do NOT remove the media from the device, and do

NOT turn the power off to either device. Doing so may corrupt the

data on either or both devices.

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks

CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual 119

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive

(FDD) and Floppy Disks

(The ﬂoppy disk drive is optional. For instructions on installing the ﬂoppy disk drive, see page 127.)

The ﬂoppy disk drive lets you save original data you’ve created on the instrument to ﬂoppy disk, and allows you to

load data from ﬂoppy disk to the instrument.

Be sure to handle ﬂoppy disks and treat the disk drive with care. Follow the important precautions below.

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

If you ﬁnd that you are unable to use new, blank disks or old disks that

have been used with other devices, you may need to format them. For

details on how to format a disk, see page 107. Keep in mind that all data on

the disk will be lost after formatting. Make sure to check beforehand

whether or not the disk contains important data.

NOTE

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

Inserting 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.

CAUTION

Never insert anything but ﬂoppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects may cause

damage to the disk drive or ﬂoppy disks.

Removing a Floppy Disk

After checking that the instrument is not accessing* the ﬂoppy disk

(checking that the use lamp on the ﬂoppy disk drive is off), ﬁrmly press the

eject button at the upper right of the disk slot all the way in. When the

ﬂoppy disk is ejected, pull it out of the drive. If the ﬂoppy disk cannot be

removed because it is stuck, do not try to force it, but instead try pressing

the eject button again, or try re-inserting the disk and attempt to eject it

again.

* Access of the disk indicates an active operation, such as recording, play-

back, or deletion of data.

If a ﬂoppy disk is inserted while the power is on, the disk is automatically

accessed, since the instrument checks whether the disk has data.

CAUTION

Do not remove the ﬂoppy disk or turn off the instrument itself while the disk is being

accessed. Doing so may result not only in loss of data on the disk but also damage

to the ﬂoppy disk drive.

Be sure to remove the ﬂoppy disk from the disk drive before turning off the

power. A ﬂoppy disk left in the drive for extended periods can easily pick

up dust and dirt that can cause data-read and -write errors.

• Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument employs a precision

magnetic read/write head which, after an extended period of use, will

pick up a layer of magnetic particles from the disks used that will eventu-

ally cause read and write errors.

• To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order Yamaha recom-

mends 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.

Handle ﬂoppy disks with care, and follow these precau-

tions:

• 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 tempera-

tures, 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 tele-

visions, 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-pro-

tect tab to the “protect” position (tab open). When saving data, make sure

that the disk’s write-protect tab is set to the “overwrite” position (tab

closed).

Data Back up

For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you keep two copies

of important data on separate ﬂoppy disks.

Troubleshooting

Overall

A click or pop is heard when the power is turned on or off. Electrical current is being applied to the instrument. This is normal.

Noise is heard from the instrument’s speakers. Noise may be heard if a mobile phone is used near the instrument or

if the phone is ringing. Turn off the mobile phone, or use it further

away from the instrument.

In the LCD display, there are some black points (unlit) or white

points (always lit).

(CVP-509/505) These are the result of defective pixels and occasion-

ally occur in TFT-LCDs; they do not indicate a problem in operation.

There is a slight difference in sound quality among different notes

played on the keyboard.

This is normal and is a result of the instrument’s sampling system.

Some Voices have a looping sound.

Some noise or vibrato is noticeable at higher pitches, depending

upon the Voice.

The overall volume is too low, or, no sound is heard. The master volume may be set too low. Set it to an appropriate level

with the [MASTER VOLUME] dial.

All keyboard parts are set to off. Use the PART ON/OFF [RIGHT 1]/

[RIGHT 2]/[LEFT] button to turn it on.

The volume of the individual parts may be set too low. Raise the vol-

ume in the BALANCE display (page 58).

Make sure the desired channel is set to ON (pages 57, 64).

Headphones are connected, disabling the speaker output. Unplug the

headphones.

If the speaker is set to OFF. Make sure the speaker setting is set to

ON (page 110). For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the

website.

The sound is distorted or noisy. The volume may be turned up too high. Make sure all relevant volume

settings are appropriate.

This may be caused by certain effects or ﬁlter resonance settings.

Check the effect or ﬁlter settings and change them accordingly,

referring to the Reference Manual on the website.

Not all simultaneously played notes sound. You are probably exceeding the maximum polyphony (page 125) of

the instrument. When the maximum polyphony is exceeded, the earli-

est played notes will stop sounding, letting the latest played notes

sound.

The keyboard volume is lower than the Song/Style playback vol-

ume.

The volume of the keyboard parts may be set too low. Raise the vol-

ume in the BALANCE display (page 58).

The Main display does not appear even when turning the power on. This may occur if a USB storage device has been installed to the

instrument. Installation of some USB storage device may result a long

interval between turning the power on and appearance of the Main

display. To avoid this, turn the power on after disconnecting the

device.

Some characters of the ﬁle/folder name are garbled. The language settings have been changed. Set the appropriate lan-

guage for the ﬁle/folder name (page 17).

An existing ﬁle is not shown. The ﬁle extension (.MID, etc.) may have been changed or deleted.

Manually rename the ﬁle, adding the appropriate extension, on a

computer.

Data ﬁles with names of more than 50 characters cannot be handled

by the instrument. Rename the ﬁle, reducing the number of charac-

ters to 50 or less.

CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual 121

Troubleshooting

Voice

The Voice selected from the Voice Selection display does not

sound.

Check whether or not the selected part is turned on (page 39).

A strange “ﬂanging” or “doubling” sound occurs. The sound is

slightly different each time the keys are played.

The RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 parts are set to “ON,” and both parts are

set to play the same Voice. Turn off the RIGHT 2 part or change the

Voice of one of the parts.

Some Voices will jump an octave in pitch when played in the upper

or lower registers.

This is normal. Some voices have a pitch limit which, when reached,

causes this type of pitch shift.

Style

The Style does not start even when the [START/STOP] button is

pressed.

The Rhythm channel of the selected Style may not contain any data.

Turn the [ACMP ON/OFF] button on and play left-hand section on the

keyboard to sound the accompaniment part of the Style.

Only the rhythm channel plays. Make sure the Auto Accompaniment function is turned on; press the

[ACMP ON/OFF] button.

You may be playing keys in the right hand range of the keyboard.

Make sure to play keys in the chord range of the keyboard.

Styles in a USB storage device cannot be selected. If the size of the Style data is large (about 120 KB or greater), the

Style cannot be selected because the data is too large to be ready by

the instrument.

Song

Songs cannot be selected. This may be because the language settings have been changed. Set

the appropriate language for the Song ﬁle name (page 17).

If the size of the Song data is large (about 300 KB or greater), the

Song cannot be selected because the data is too large to be read by

the instrument.

Song playback does not start. The Song has been stopped at the end of the Song data. Return to

the beginning of the Song by pressing the SONG [STOP] button.

In the case a Song to which write-protect has been applied (“Prot. 2

Edit” is shown at the upper left of the Song name), the original ﬁle

may not be in the same folder. It cannot be played back unless the

original ﬁle (showing “Prot.2 Orig” at the upper left of the Song name)

is in the same folder.

In case of a Song to which write-protect has been applied (“Prot. 2

Edit” is shown at the upper left of the Song name), the original ﬁle

name may have been changed. Rename the ﬁle with the original ﬁle

name (so that “Prot.2 Orig” is shown at the upper left of the Song

name).

In case of a Song to which write-protect has been applied (“Prot. 2

Edit” is shown at the upper left of the Song name), the ﬁle icon may

have been changed. Songs to which write-protect has been applied

cannot be played back when the ﬁle icon of the original has been

changed.

Song playback stops before the Song is ﬁnished. The Guide function is turned on. (In this case, playback is “waiting” for

the correct key to be played.) Press the [GUIDE] button to turn off the

guide function.

The measure number is different from that of the score in the Song

Position display, shown by pressing the [REW]/[FF] buttons.

This happens when playing back music data for which a speciﬁc, ﬁxed

tempo is set.

When playing back a Song, some channels do not play. Playback of these channels may be set to “OFF.” Turn playback ON for

those channels that are set to “OFF” (page 64).

The Guide lamps do not light during Song playback, even after

pressing the [GUIDE] button.

Any notes outside of the 88-key range cannot be indicated by the

Guide lamps.

The Guide lamps light an octave or two lower/higher than the actual

pitch.

The Guide lamps sometimes light an octave or two lower/higher than

the actual pitch depending on the selected Voice.

The tempo, beat, measure and music notation is not displayed cor-

rectly.

Some Song data for the instrument has been recorded with special

“free tempo” settings. For such Song data, the tempo, beat, measure

and music notation will not be displayed correctly.

122 CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual

Troubleshooting

USB Audio function (CVP-509/505/503)

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

recording was aborted.

Make sure to use a compatible USB storage device (page 106).

Make sure that the USB storage device has enough memory

(page 87).

If you are using a USB memory device to which data has already

been recorded, check ﬁrst that no important data remains on the

device, then format it (page 107) and try recording again.

Audio ﬁles cannot be selected. The ﬁle format may not be compatible with the instrument. The com-

patible formats are: MP3 and WAV (CVP-509/505), WAV (CVP-503).

The DRM protected ﬁles cannot be played back.

Recorded ﬁle is played back at a different volume compared to

when it was recorded.

The audio playback volume has been changed. Setting the volume

value to 100 plays back the ﬁle as the same volume when it was

recorded (page 85).

Mixing Console

The sound seems strange or different than expected when chang-

ing a rhythm Voice (drum kit, etc.) of the Style or Song from the

Mixer.

When changing the rhythm/percussion Voices (drum kits, etc.) of the

Style and Song from the VOICE parameter, the detailed settings

related to the drum voice are reset, and in some cases you may be

unable to restore the original sound. In the case of Song playback,

you can restore the original sound by returning to the beginning of the

Song and playing back from that point. In the case of Style play, you

can restore the original sound by selecting the same Style again.

Microphone/Vocal Harmony (CVP-509/505/503)

The microphone input signal cannot be recorded. The microphone input signal cannot be recorded by Song recording.

Use the USB Audio function (page 86).

Harmony can be heard in addition to the microphone sound. Vocal Harmony is set to “ON.” Turn Vocal Harmony off (page 103).

The Vocal Harmony effect sounds distorted or out-of-tune. Your vocal microphone may be picking up extraneous sounds, such

as the Style sound from the instrument. In particular, bass sounds

can cause mistracking of the Vocal Harmony. To remedy this:

• Sing as closely to the microphone as possible.

• Use a unidirectional microphone.

•Turn down the Master volume, Style volume, or Song volume control

(pages 15, 58).

Pedal/AUX Pedal

The damper, sostenuto and soft functions do not work for the rele-

vant pedals.

The pedal cord plug is not connected. Securely insert the pedal cord

plug into the proper jack (page 113, 115, 117).

Make sure that each pedal is properly assigned to SUSTAIN, SOSTE-

NUTO, and SOFT (page 32).

The on/off setting of the footswitch connected to the AUX PEDAL

jack is reversed.

Turn the instrument’s power off, then turn on again without pressing

the footswitch.

AUX IN jacks

Sound input to the AUX IN jacks is interrupted. The output volume of the external device connected to this instrument

is too low. Increase the output volume of the external device. The vol-

ume level reproduced via this instrument's speakers can be adjusted

by using the [MASTER VOLUME] control.

WARNING Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following: Power supply/Power cord Water warning • 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 expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. • Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands. Fire warning • Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall over and cause a fire. Do not open • Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. If you notice any abnormality • If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. CAUTION Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following: Power supply/Power cord Location • 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 expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components. • Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multipleconnector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet. • Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise. • Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over. Assembly • Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly process. Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might result in damage to the instrument or even injury. • Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables. • When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet. • 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. (1)B-13 6 CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual 1/2 Connections • Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level. Maintenance • In the case of a model with a polished finish, gently remove dust and dirt with a soft cloth. Do not wipe too hard since small particles of dirt can scratch the instrument's finish. • When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. • During extreme changes in temperature or humidity, condensation may occur and water may collect on the surface of the instrument. If water is left, the wooden parts may absorb the water and be damaged. Make sure to wipe any water off immediately with a soft cloth. Handling caution 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 stepladder or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury. • Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the possibility of accident or injury. • Do not attempt to adjust the bench height while sitting on the bench, since this can cause excessive force to be imposed on the adjustment mechanism, possibly resulting in damage to the mechanism or even injury. • If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten them periodically using the included tool. Saving data Saving and backing up your data • Edited Songs/Styles/Voices and MIDI settings are lost when you turn off the power to the instrument. Save the data to the USER tab display (page 68), USB storage device (USB flash memory/floppy disk, etc). • Data in the USER tab display may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Save important data to a USB storage device. • 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. When you change settings in a display page and then exit from that page, Data other than above (edited Songs/Styles/Voices and MIDI settings, etc.) is automatically stored. However, this edited data is lost if you turn off the power without properly exiting from the relevant display. • Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the key cover, panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. • Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard. • In the case of a model with a polished finish, bumping the surface of the instrument with metal, porcelain, or other hard objects can cause the finish to crack or peel. Use caution. Backing up the USB storage device • To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you save your important data onto two USB storage devices. • Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors. • Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician. 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.

Included Accessories The following item may be included or optional, depending on your locale: • Bench The instrument is compatible with the following formats. “GM (General MIDI)” is one of the most common Voice allocation formats. “GM System Level 2” is a standard specification that enhances the original “GM” and improves Song data compatibility. It provides for increased polyphony, greater Voice selection, expanded Voice parameters, and integrated effect processing. 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. GS was developed by the Roland Corporation. In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major enhancement of the GM specifically to provide more Voices and Drum kits and their variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects. The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater functionality and openended expandability for the future. This instrument is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF file containing lyric data is played. “SFF (Style File Format)” is an original Style file format by Yamaha which uses a unique conversion system to provide high-quality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types. “SFF GE (Guitar Edition)” is an enhanced format of SFF, which features improved note transposition for guitar tracks. (CVP-509/505/503) VH (Vocal Harmony) employs the digital signal processing technology to automatically add appropriate vocal harmonies to a lead vocal line sung by the user. (CVP-509) “AEM” is the trademark of Yamaha’s leading-edge tone generation technology. For information on AEM, refer to page 41.

CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual 31 1 Using the Pedals The instrument features three pedals. CVP-509/505 CVP-503/501 Right Pedal Center Pedal Left Pedal 1 Right Pedal Center Pedal Left Pedal Perform the piano songs by Clavinova • Right Pedal (Damper Pedal) This 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. The right pedal can be used to control the half pedal effect. NOTE When you press the right pedal here, the notes you play before you release the pedal have a longer sustain. • Center Pedal (Sostenuto Pedal) When the Piano Voice is selected, if you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press this pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held. All subsequent notes will not sustain. When a Voice other than piano is selected, a specific function appropriate for the Voice is automatically assigned to the center pedal. NOTE Half-pedal: While playing the piano with Sustain and you want to slightly mute the sustained sound, release the pedal from maximum position to half position. Certain Voices, such as [STRINGS] or [BRASS], sustain continuously when the right/center pedal is pressed. NOTE Certain Voices such as drum kits may not be affected by use of the right/ center pedal. When you press the center pedal here while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as you hold the pedal. • Left Pedal When the Piano Voice is selected, pressing this pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of the notes you play. When a Voice other than piano is selected, a specific function appropriate for the Voice is automatically assigned to the center pedal. Making Settings for the Pedals You can assign one of the various functions to the three pedals or an optional foot controller/footswitch, doing things like controlling the Super Articulation Voices or starting and stopping the Song (page 105). Even when you assign a certain function to a pedal, pressing the [PIANO RESET] button restores the pedal function to the default settings above. 32 CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual NOTE You can adjust the depth of the left pedal effect.

This lets you experience the ambience and reverberation that are characteristic of performing on stage or simulates the sustain sound that occur when you press the damper pedal of a grand piano. 1 1 2 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION] → [H] iAFC SETTING Press the [D] button to turn the iAFC on. Perform the piano songs by Clavinova 3 3 Use the [3 ▲▼] – [6 ▲▼] buttons to adjust the iAFC effect depth. [3 ▲▼]/ [4 ▲▼] [5 ▲▼]/ [6 ▲▼] 34 DYNAMIC DAMPER EFFECT SPATIAL EFFECT This simulates the sustain sound that occurs when you press the damper pedal of a grand piano. The microphone is not used, but the sound produced within the instrument is processed to create a spacious sensation. Spatial Effect creates a sense of reverberation and spaciousness by picking up the output sound using internal microphones and output the sound from the speaker on the rear of the instrument. The spread and spaciousness of the sound is different depending on the depth. The default setting for the depth is 0. For lower depth settings: This creates the resonance and enhances the acoustic realism of the sound that is characteristic of acoustic instruments by creating a virtual soundboard. For deeper depth settings: The sound of the instrument itself and the sound of singing and other instruments played nearby is picked up by internal microphones, and processed to simulate the spatial characteristics of performing together on stage. CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual CAUTION When using iAFC, do not block or cover the speaker located on the rear panel of the instrument. The optimal iAFC effect cannot be obtained if this speaker is blocked. NOTE iAFC uses Yamaha’s EMR (Electronic Microphone Rotator) technology to ensure stability against acoustic feedback. 1 4 If you’ve set the depth of SPATIAL EFFECT to a value other than 0, press the [I] (MIC CALIBRATION) button to call up the calibration display. The MIC CALIBRATION display appears. In this display, you can adjust the sensitivity and response of iAFC so that the optimal iAFC effect will be obtained. NOTE 5 If you are using headphones, disconnect the headphones before adjusting iAFC calibration. 5 Press the [G] (CALIBRATION START) button to begin calibration. When automatic adjust begins, a test sound (noise) will sound for about five seconds. While automatic adjustment is being performed, do not make audible noises in the vicinity of the Clavinova. NOTE If desired, you can restore the default calibration setting by pressing the [J] (BASIC SETTING) button in step 4. CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual 35 Perform the piano songs by Clavinova 1 Maintenance To keep your Clavinova in optimum condition, we recommend that you periodically follow the maintenance points below. ■ Instrument and Bench Maintenance • When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. CAUTION Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. 1 Perform the piano songs by Clavinova If you are using a model with a polished finish, gently remove dust and dirt with a soft cloth. Do not wipe too hard since small particles of dirt can scratch the instrument's finish. To keep the surface polished, apply commercially available piano polisher to a soft cloth and wipe the instrument’s surface with it. Then, polish it with a separate cloth. Before using any piano polisher, make sure to read the instructions for proper usage. • Tighten the screws of the instrument and bench periodically. ■ Bench Height Adjustment The bench height can be adjusted by rotating the handle. Rotating clockwise heightens the bench. (Before shipment, the handle is firmly fastened.) ■ Pedal Cleaning As with an acoustic piano, pedals may become tarnished across the ages. When this occurs, polish the pedal with a compound designed for piano pedals. Before using the compound, make sure to read the instructions for proper usage. CAUTION Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Otherwise, the pedal may become discolored or degraded. ■ Tuning Unlike an acoustic piano, the instrument does not need to be tuned. It always stays perfectly in tune. ■ Transporting If you move to another location, you can transport the instrument along with other belongings. You can move the unit as it is (assembled) or you can disassemble the unit down to the condition it was in when you first took it out of the box. Transport the keyboard horizontally. Do not lean it up against a wall or stand it up on its side. Do not subject the instrument to excessive vibration or shock. When transporting the assembled instrument, make sure all screws are properly tightened and have not been loosened by moving the instrument. (CVP-509) After transporting the instrument, do the following to ensure optimum performance of the iAFC function (page 34). • Place the Clavinova so that its rear panel is at least 10 cm away from the wall. • (When using the SPATIAL EFFECT) Perform the automatic adjustment of the iAFC function. 36 CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual Voices – Playing the keyboard – The instrument features a wide variety of exceptionally realistic instrumental Voices, including piano, guitar, strings, brass, wind instruments and more. 2 Voices – Playing the keyboard – Playing Preset Voices Selecting a Voice (RIGHT 1) and playing the keyboard 1 2 Press one of the [A]/[B]/[F]/[G] (RIGHT 1) buttons on the Main display.

CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual 39 Voices – Playing the keyboard – 1 Voice Types Organ Flutes Voices (page 46) Percussion/Drum Voices When one of the Voices is selected from this button, you can play various drums and percussion instruments or SFX (sound effects) sounds on the keyboard. Details are given in the Drum List of the separate Data List. NOTE • Voice Characteristics The Voice type and its defining characteristics are indicated above the Voice name—Live!, Cool!, Sweet!, etc. For detailed explanation, refer to the Reference Manual. In this section, only MegaVoice and Super Articulation Voices (SA and SA2) are explained. These Voices have special characteristics you should be aware of, and they require specific performance techniques to bring out all of their expressive qualities. 2 Voices – Playing the keyboard – MegaVoices (CVP-509/505/503) What makes MegaVoices special is their use of velocity switching. Each velocity range (the measure of your playing strength) has a completely different sound. For example, a guitar MegaVoice includes the sounds of various performance techniques. In conventional instruments, different Voices having those sounds would be called up via MIDI and played in combination to achieve the desired effect. However, now with MegaVoices, a convincing guitar part can be played with just a single Voice, using specific velocity values to play the desired sounds. Because of the complex nature of these Voices and the precise velocities need to play the sounds, they’re not intended for playing from the keyboard. They are, however, very useful and convenient when creating MIDI data—especially when you want to avoid using several different Voices just for a single instrument part. Super Articulation Voices (CVP-509/505) The word “articulation” in music usually refers to the transition or continuity between notes. This is often reflected in specific performance techniques, such as staccato, legato and slur. Two types of Voices—Super Articulation (SA) Voices and Super Articulation 2 (SA2) Voices—enable you to create these subtle musical expressions, simply by how you play. (SA2 Voices are available only on the CVP-509.) • SA Voices (S.Articulation!) The SA Voices provide many of same benefits as the MegaVoices, but with greater playability and expressive control in real time. For example, with the Saxophone Voice, if you play a C and then a D in a very legato way, you will hear the note change seamlessly, as though a saxophone player played it in a single breath. Similarly with the Concert Guitar Voice, the D note would sound as a “hammer on,” without the string being plucked again. Depending on how you play, other effects such as shake or breath noises (for the Trumpet Voice), or finger noises (for the Guitar Voice) will be produced. 40 CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual MegaVoices, SA and SA2 Voices are only compatible with other models which have those types of Voices installed. Any Song or Style data you’ve created on the instrument using these Voices will not sound properly when played back on other instruments. NOTE MegaVoices, SA and SA2 Voices sound differently depending on the keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you apply HARMONY/ECHO effect, change the transpose setting or change the Voice Set parameters, unexpected or undesired sounds may result. • SA2 Voices (S. Articulation2!) (CVP-509) Mainly for wind instrument Voices, a special Yamaha technology called AEM has been used, which features detailed samples of special expressive techniques used on those specific instruments—to bend or slide into notes, to “join” different notes together, or to add expressive nuances at the end of a note, etc. You can add these articulations by playing legato or staccato, or by jumping in pitch by around an octave. For example, using the Clarinet Voice, if you hold a C note and play the Bb above, you’ll hear a glissando up to the Bb. Some “note off” effects are also produced automatically when you hold a note for over a certain time. NOTE The characteristics of SA2 Voices (default vibrato setting and articulation effects applied by the pedals) are effective for real-time performance; however, these effects may not be completely reproduced when you play back a Song which has been recorded using SA2 Voices. You can also use the pedals to add articulations to the SA and SA2 Voices (page 43). For details on how to best play each SA and SA2 Voice, call up the information window (pressing the [7 ▲] (INFO) button in the Voice Selection display). 2 Voices – Playing the keyboard – AEM Technology When you play the piano, pressing a “C” key produces a definite and relatively fixed C note. When you play a wind instrument, however, a single fingering may produce several different sounds depending on the breath strength, the note length, the adding of trills or bend effects, and other performance techniques. Also, when playing two notes continuously—for example “C” and “D”—these two notes will be smoothly joined, and not sound independent as they would on a piano. AEM (Articulation Element Modeling) is the technology for simulating this characteristic of instruments. During performance, the most appropriate sound samples are selected in sequence in real time, from huge quantities of sampled data. They are smoothly joined and sounded—as would naturally occur on an actual acoustic instrument. This technology to smoothly join different samples enables the application of realistic vibrato. Conventionally on electronic musical instruments, vibrato is applied by moving the pitch periodically. AEM technology goes much further by analyzing and disaggregating the sampled vibrato waves, and smoothly joins the disaggregated data in real time during your performance. CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual 41 Transposing the Pitch of the Keyboard The TRANSPOSE [-]/[+] buttons transpose the overall pitch of the instrument (the keyboard sound, Style playback, Song playback, and so on) in semitone steps. Press the [+] and [-] buttons simultaneously to instantly reset the transpose value to 0. NOTE The Transpose functions do not affect the Drum Kit or SFX Kit Voices. NOTE You can also change the transpose settings in the MIXING CONSOLE display: [MIXING CONSOLE]→ TAB E][F F] TUNE → [1 ▲▼] – [3 ▲▼] [E TRANSPOSE. 2 NOTE Voices – Playing the keyboard – Default Pitch setting By default, the reference pitch of the entire instrument is set to 440.0 Hz, and the scale to equal temperament. You can change the pitch and scale from [FUNCTION] → [A] MASTER TUNE/SCALE TUNE. You can also adjust the pitch for each part (keyboard parts, Style parts and Song parts) on the TUNE page of the Mixing Console display (page 88). For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website. 42 CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual Hz (Hertz): This unit of measurement refers to the frequency of a sound and represents the number of times a sound wave vibrates in a second. Adding Articulation Effects to Super Articulation Voices CVP-509 CVP-505 CVP-503 CVP-501 NOTE Three examples of effects are introduced to the following. The applied articulation effect differs depending on the selected Voice. For details, refer to the Information display called up by pressing the [7 ▲] (INFO) button on the Voice Selection display. ■ Pressing a pedal triggers different playing effects, separate from your keyboard playing. For example, pressing a pedal for a saxophone Voice can produce breath noises or key noises, while doing the same for a guitar Voice can produce fret noises or body-tapping sounds. You can effectively intersperse these into the notes as you play. ■ Playing the keyboard while pressing a pedal changes the nature of Voice. For example, in the case of the nylon guitar Voice, pressing the corresponding pedal lets you play harmonics for the guitar Voice. Releasing the pedal returns the Voice to normal. ■ When an SA2 Voice is selected (CVP-509), pressing a pedal and playing/releasing a note enables you to add articulation effects, such as bend up/down, glissando up/down, brass fall, etc. SA2 Voices are available only on the CVP-509. SA Voices are available only on the CVP-509/505. NOTE Pedal functions are automatically changed depending on the selected Voice. However, if you need to, you can lock the pedal function so that it does not change automatically.

When the Left Hold is ON, an “H” indication appears in the Main display. 2 [3 ▲▼] MONO/POLY This determines whether the part’s Voice is played monophonically (only one note at a time) or polyphonically. Using the MONO mode lets you play single, lead sounds (such as brass instruments) more realistically. It also lets you expressively control the Portamento effect (depending on the selected Voice) by playing legato. 3 4 [4 ▲▼]/ [5 ▲▼] [I] DSP/DSP VARIATION HARMONY/ ECHO With the digital effects built into the instrument, you can add ambience and depth to your music in a variety of ways—various effect types, such as chorus and delay are included. • The DSP switch is used to turn the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) effect on or off for the currently selected keyboard part. • The DSP Variation switch is used to change between variations of the DSP effect. You could use this while you play, for example, to change the rotating speed (slow/fast) of the rotary speaker effect. When this is set to ON, the Harmony/Echo effects are applied to the right-hand Voices depending on the chord played with your left hand. For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website. 2 NOTE Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the keyboard to the next.

CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual 49 Style Characteristics The Style type and its defining characteristics are indicated on the Preset Style icon. • Pro (P): These Styles provide professional and exciting arrangements combined with perfect playability. The resulting accompaniment exactly follows the chords of the player. As a result, your chord changes and colorful harmonies are instantly transformed into lifelike musical accompaniment. • Session (S): These Styles provide even greater realism and authentic backing by mixing in original chord types and changes, as well as special riffs with chord changes, with the Main sections. These have been programmed to add “spice” and a professional touch to your performances of certain songs and in certain genres. Keep in mind, however, that the Styles may not necessarily be appropriate—or even harmonically correct-for all songs and for all chord playing. In some cases for example, playing a simple major triad for a country song may result in a “jazzy” seventh chord, or playing an on-bass chord may result in inappropriate or unexpected accompaniment. 3 Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – • Free Play (F) (CVP-509/505): These Styles are characterized by rubato performance. You can perform freely with remarkably expressive accompaniment, without being constrained by a strict tempo. • Pianist (P): These special Styles provide piano-only accompaniment. Just by playing the proper chords with your left hand, you can automatically add complicated, professional-sounding arpeggios and bass/chord patterns. Style file compatibility The CVP-509/505/503/501 uses the SFF GE file format (page 9). The CVP509/505/503/501 can play back existing SFF files, but they will be saved in the SFF GE format when the file is saved (or pasted) in the CVP-509/505/ 503/501. Please keep in mind that the saved file can only be played back on instruments that are compatible with the SFF GE format. 50 CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual Chords For users who are unfamiliar with chords, this handy chart features common chords for your quick reference. Since there are many useful chords and many different ways to use them musically, refer to commercially available chord books for further details. ★ Indicates the root note.

For other types, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.

Adjusting the Overall Volume Using the Master Compressor CVP-509 CVP-505 CVP-503 CVP-501 Compressor is an effect commonly used to limit and compress the dynamics (softness/loudness) of an audio signal. For signals that vary widely in dynamics, such as vocals and guitar parts, it “squeezes” the dynamic range, effectively making soft sounds louder and loud sounds softer. When used with gain to boost the overall level, this creates a more powerful, more consistently high-level sound. Editing Master Compressor Settings Displays the Gain Reduction (compressed level) and output level.

For a list of optional floppy disk drives available for this instrument, see “Optional Accessories” (page 127). Have a Phillips-head (+) screwdriver of the appropriate size ready. 1 3 Attach the drive and case assembly to the left underside of the instrument, using the included four screws (4mm x 10mm). Remove the three backing papers from the adhesive tape in the case, and fit the floppy disk drive into the case. Insert the drive to the case, with the side having the rubber stoppers facing the case. Installing the Floppy Disk Drive (Optional) (CVP-509/505) 4 Dual-sided adhesive tape 2 Fold the USB cable inside the case as shown. 118 CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual Connect the USB cable to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal. 3 Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks (The floppy disk drive is optional. For instructions on installing the floppy disk drive, see page 127.) The floppy disk drive lets you save original data you’ve created on the instrument to floppy disk, and allows you to load data from floppy disk to the instrument. Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with care. Follow the important precautions below. Floppy Disk Compatibility Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head 3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used. • Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument employs a precision magnetic read/write head which, after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of magnetic particles from the disks used that will eventually cause read and write errors. • To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order Yamaha recommends that you use a commercially-available dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the availability of proper head cleaning disks. If you find that you are unable to use new, blank disks or old disks that have been used with other devices, you may need to format them. For details on how to format a disk, see page 107. Keep in mind that all data on the disk will be lost after formatting. Make sure to check beforehand whether or not the disk contains important data. NOTE Floppy disks formatted on this device may or may not be useable as is on other devices. Inserting/Removing Floppy Disks Inserting a Floppy Disk into the Disk Drive: Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing upward and the sliding shutter is facing forward, towards the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly pushing it all the way in until it clicks into place and the eject button pops out. CAUTION Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy disks. About Floppy Disks Handle floppy disks with care, and follow these precautions: • Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep floppy disks in their protective cases when they are not in use. • Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids. • Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed surface of the floppy disk inside. • Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since magnetic fields can partially or completely erase data on the disk, rendering it unreadable. • Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or housing. • Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a floppy disk. Also make sure that labels are attached in the proper location. Removing a Floppy Disk After checking that the instrument is not accessing* the floppy disk (checking that the use lamp on the floppy disk drive is off), firmly press the eject button at the upper right of the disk slot all the way in. When the floppy disk is ejected, pull it out of the drive. If the floppy disk cannot be removed because it is stuck, do not try to force it, but instead try pressing the eject button again, or try re-inserting the disk and attempt to eject it again. To Protect Your Data (Write-protect Tab): To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the disk’s write-protect tab to the “protect” position (tab open). When saving data, make sure that the disk’s write-protect tab is set to the “overwrite” position (tab closed). * Access of the disk indicates an active operation, such as recording, playback, or deletion of data. If a floppy disk is inserted while the power is on, the disk is automatically accessed, since the instrument checks whether the disk has data. Write-protect tab ON (locked or write protected) CAUTION Do not remove the floppy disk or turn off the instrument itself while the disk is being accessed. Doing so may result not only in loss of data on the disk but also damage to the floppy disk drive. Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive before turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt that can cause data-read and -write errors. Write-protect tab OFF (unlocked or write enabled) Data Back up For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you keep two copies of important data on separate floppy disks. CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual 119 Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks Formatting a Floppy Disk Troubleshooting Overall A click or pop is heard when the power is turned on or off. Electrical current is being applied to the instrument. This is normal. Noise is heard from the instrument’s speakers. Noise may be heard if a mobile phone is used near the instrument or if the phone is ringing. Turn off the mobile phone, or use it further away from the instrument. In the LCD display, there are some black points (unlit) or white points (always lit). (CVP-509/505) These are the result of defective pixels and occasionally occur in TFT-LCDs; they do not indicate a problem in operation. There is a slight difference in sound quality among different notes played on the keyboard. This is normal and is a result of the instrument’s sampling system. Some Voices have a looping sound. Some noise or vibrato is noticeable at higher pitches, depending upon the Voice. The overall volume is too low, or, no sound is heard. The master volume may be set too low. Set it to an appropriate level with the [MASTER VOLUME] dial. All keyboard parts are set to off. Use the PART ON/OFF [RIGHT 1]/ [RIGHT 2]/[LEFT] button to turn it on. The volume of the individual parts may be set too low. Raise the volume in the BALANCE display (page 58). Make sure the desired channel is set to ON (pages 57, 64). Headphones are connected, disabling the speaker output. Unplug the headphones. If the speaker is set to OFF. Make sure the speaker setting is set to ON (page 110). For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website. The sound is distorted or noisy. The volume may be turned up too high. Make sure all relevant volume settings are appropriate. This may be caused by certain effects or filter resonance settings. Check the effect or filter settings and change them accordingly, referring to the Reference Manual on the website. Troubleshooting Not all simultaneously played notes sound. You are probably exceeding the maximum polyphony (page 125) of the instrument. When the maximum polyphony is exceeded, the earliest played notes will stop sounding, letting the latest played notes sound. The keyboard volume is lower than the Song/Style playback volume. The volume of the keyboard parts may be set too low. Raise the volume in the BALANCE display (page 58). The Main display does not appear even when turning the power on. This may occur if a USB storage device has been installed to the instrument. Installation of some USB storage device may result a long interval between turning the power on and appearance of the Main display. To avoid this, turn the power on after disconnecting the device. Some characters of the file/folder name are garbled. The language settings have been changed. Set the appropriate language for the file/folder name (page 17). An existing file is not shown. The file extension (.MID, etc.) may have been changed or deleted. Manually rename the file, adding the appropriate extension, on a computer. Data files with names of more than 50 characters cannot be handled by the instrument. Rename the file, reducing the number of characters to 50 or less. 120 CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual Voice The Voice selected from the Voice Selection display does not sound. Check whether or not the selected part is turned on (page 39). A strange “flanging” or “doubling” sound occurs. The sound is slightly different each time the keys are played. The RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 parts are set to “ON,” and both parts are set to play the same Voice. Turn off the RIGHT 2 part or change the Voice of one of the parts. Some Voices will jump an octave in pitch when played in the upper or lower registers. This is normal. Some voices have a pitch limit which, when reached, causes this type of pitch shift. Style The Style does not start even when the [START/STOP] button is pressed. The Rhythm channel of the selected Style may not contain any data. Turn the [ACMP ON/OFF] button on and play left-hand section on the keyboard to sound the accompaniment part of the Style. Only the rhythm channel plays. Make sure the Auto Accompaniment function is turned on; press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button. You may be playing keys in the right hand range of the keyboard. Make sure to play keys in the chord range of the keyboard. Styles in a USB storage device cannot be selected. If the size of the Style data is large (about 120 KB or greater), the Style cannot be selected because the data is too large to be ready by the instrument. Song Songs cannot be selected. This may be because the language settings have been changed. Set the appropriate language for the Song file name (page 17). If the size of the Song data is large (about 300 KB or greater), the Song cannot be selected because the data is too large to be read by the instrument. Song playback does not start. The Song has been stopped at the end of the Song data. Return to the beginning of the Song by pressing the SONG [STOP] button. In the case a Song to which write-protect has been applied (“Prot. 2 Edit” is shown at the upper left of the Song name), the original file may not be in the same folder. It cannot be played back unless the original file (showing “Prot.2 Orig” at the upper left of the Song name) is in the same folder. In case of a Song to which write-protect has been applied (“Prot. 2 Edit” is shown at the upper left of the Song name), the file icon may have been changed. Songs to which write-protect has been applied cannot be played back when the file icon of the original has been changed. Song playback stops before the Song is finished. The Guide function is turned on. (In this case, playback is “waiting” for the correct key to be played.) Press the [GUIDE] button to turn off the guide function. The measure number is different from that of the score in the Song Position display, shown by pressing the [REW]/[FF] buttons. This happens when playing back music data for which a specific, fixed tempo is set. When playing back a Song, some channels do not play. Playback of these channels may be set to “OFF.” Turn playback ON for those channels that are set to “OFF” (page 64). The Guide lamps do not light during Song playback, even after pressing the [GUIDE] button. Any notes outside of the 88-key range cannot be indicated by the Guide lamps. The Guide lamps light an octave or two lower/higher than the actual pitch. The Guide lamps sometimes light an octave or two lower/higher than the actual pitch depending on the selected Voice. The tempo, beat, measure and music notation is not displayed correctly. Some Song data for the instrument has been recorded with special “free tempo” settings. For such Song data, the tempo, beat, measure and music notation will not be displayed correctly. CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual 121 Troubleshooting In case of a Song to which write-protect has been applied (“Prot. 2 Edit” is shown at the upper left of the Song name), the original file name may have been changed. Rename the file with the original file name (so that “Prot.2 Orig” is shown at the upper left of the Song name). USB Audio function (CVP-509/505/503) The message “This drive is busy now.” appeared, and then the recording was aborted. Make sure to use a compatible USB storage device (page 106). Make sure that the USB storage device has enough memory (page 87). If you are using a USB memory device to which data has already been recorded, check first that no important data remains on the device, then format it (page 107) and try recording again. Audio files cannot be selected. The file format may not be compatible with the instrument. The compatible formats are: MP3 and WAV (CVP-509/505), WAV (CVP-503). The DRM protected files cannot be played back. Recorded file is played back at a different volume compared to when it was recorded. The audio playback volume has been changed. Setting the volume value to 100 plays back the file as the same volume when it was recorded (page 85). Mixing Console The sound seems strange or different than expected when changing a rhythm Voice (drum kit, etc.) of the Style or Song from the Mixer. When changing the rhythm/percussion Voices (drum kits, etc.) of the Style and Song from the VOICE parameter, the detailed settings related to the drum voice are reset, and in some cases you may be unable to restore the original sound. In the case of Song playback, you can restore the original sound by returning to the beginning of the Song and playing back from that point. In the case of Style play, you can restore the original sound by selecting the same Style again. Microphone/Vocal Harmony (CVP-509/505/503) The microphone input signal cannot be recorded. The microphone input signal cannot be recorded by Song recording. Use the USB Audio function (page 86). Harmony can be heard in addition to the microphone sound. Vocal Harmony is set to “ON.” Turn Vocal Harmony off (page 103). The Vocal Harmony effect sounds distorted or out-of-tune. Your vocal microphone may be picking up extraneous sounds, such as the Style sound from the instrument. In particular, bass sounds can cause mistracking of the Vocal Harmony. To remedy this: • Sing as closely to the microphone as possible. • Use a unidirectional microphone. • Turn down the Master volume, Style volume, or Song volume control (pages 15, 58). Pedal/AUX Pedal The damper, sostenuto and soft functions do not work for the relevant pedals. The pedal cord plug is not connected. Securely insert the pedal cord plug into the proper jack (page 113, 115, 117). Make sure that each pedal is properly assigned to SUSTAIN, SOSTENUTO, and SOFT (page 32). The on/off setting of the footswitch connected to the AUX PEDAL jack is reversed. Turn the instrument’s power off, then turn on again without pressing the footswitch. AUX IN jacks Troubleshooting Sound input to the AUX IN jacks is interrupted. 122 CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual The output volume of the external device connected to this instrument is too low.

We recommend that you read this manual carefully so that you can fully take advantage of the advanced and convenient functions of the instrument. We also recommend that you keep this manual in a safe and handy place for future reference. Before using the instrument, be sure to read “PRECAUTIONS” on pages 6-7. IMPORTANT —Check your power supply— Yamaha Home Keyboards Home Page http://music.yamaha.com/homekeyboard/ Yamaha Manual Library http://www.yamaha.co.jp/manual/ U.R.G., Digital Musical Instruments Division © 2009-2011 Yamaha Corporation 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.
