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.

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-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.

• 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.

•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 operate the instrument 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.

• In the case of a model which the height adjustable bench

included, 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

• Current data (see page 46) is lost when you turn off the power

to the instrument. Save the data to a ﬂoppy disk (CLP-170)/

the storage memory (see page 46).

Saved data may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect

operation. Save important data to a ﬂoppy disk (CLP-170).

Backing up the ﬂoppy disk (CLP-170)

•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.

CLP-170/150

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive(FDD)

and Floppy Disk (CLP-170)

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.

To eject a ﬂoppy disk:

Before ejecting the disk, be sure to conﬁrm that the ﬂoppy

disk drive is stopped. If the disk drive is operating (during

the [SaveToDisk] (P53), [DeleteSong] (P53), [RenameSong]

(P54), [CopyDisk] (P55), or [FormatDisk] (P56) opera-

tion), the Clavinova displays [Executing].

Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off

when the disk drive is operating. Doing so can damage the

disk and possibly the disk drive.

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

automatically pop out. When the disk is fully ejected, care-

fully remove it by hand.

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 posi-

tion 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.

Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head

• Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument

employs a precision magnetic read/write head which,

after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of

magnetic particles from the disks used that will eventually

cause read and write errors.

• To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order

Yamaha recommends that you use a commercially-avail-

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

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

ability of proper head-cleaning disks.

• 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 liq-

uids.

• Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed

surface of the ﬂoppy disk inside.

• Do not expose the disk to magnetic ﬁelds, such as those

produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since

magnetic ﬁelds can partially or completely erase data on

the disk, rendering it unreadable.

• Never use a ﬂoppy disk with a deformed shutter or 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.

CLP-170/150

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive(FDD) and Floppy Disk

• 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 dam-

aged. To make a backup disk use the Copy Disk function

on page 52.

Maintenance

Clean the instrument using a dry or slightly damp soft cloth (wring well).

CAUTION

Do not use benzene, thinner, detergent, or chemically-treated cloth for cleaning. Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber

products on the instrument.

Otherwise, the panel or keys may become discolored or degraded.

CAUTION

Before using the Clavinova, be sure to read “Precautions” on pages 3-4.

Tuning

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

Transporting

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

the unit as it is (assembled) or you can disassemble the unit.

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.

The CLP-170 features an iAFC (Instrumental Active Field Control) effect. This produces sound from the speaker located on the

rear of the Clavinova, enhancing the reverberation and spaciousness of the sound.

In order to take full advantage of iAFC, we recommend that you do the following.

• Place the Clavinova so that its rear panel is at least 10 cm away from the wall.

• After you move the Clavinova to a different location, perform the automatic adjustment. (page 86)

Features

The Yamaha CLP-170/150 Clavinova features rich sounds produced by Yamaha’s proprietary “AWM dynamic stereo

sampling” tone generator system, a “Graded Hammer” keyboard (CLP-150) that varies the key weight according to

the key range, and a “GH3” keyboard (CLP-170) that enhances the graded hammer keyboard by allowing you to play

a note to be played repeatedly without pressing the pedal, giving these electronic pianos a “playing-feel” that is very

close to the keyboard of a genuine grand piano. The CLP-170/150 GrandPiano1 voice features 3 velocity-switched

samples (Dynamic Sampling), “String Resonance” (page 93) that recreates resonance of piano strings, special “Sus-

tain Sampling” (page 93)that samples the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings

when the damper pedal is pressed, and “Key-off Samples” that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are

released. The CLP-170/150 comes much closer to the sound of a true acoustic piano.

Before Using the Clavinova

Turning the power on

1. Connect the power cable.

First insert the plug of the power cable into the AC connector on the Clavinova, then plug the other end of

the cable into the proper AC outlet on the wall.

In some areas a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin conﬁguration of the AC wall outlets in

your area.

WARNING!

Make sure your CLP-170/150 is rated for the AC voltage supplied in the area in which it is to be used (voltage rating appears on

the name plate on the bottom panel). In some areas, a voltage selector may be provided on the bottom panel of the main key-

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

wrong AC supply can cause serious damage to the internal circuitry and may even pose a shock hazard!

Use only the AC power cord supplied with the CLP-170/150. If the supplied cord is lost or damaged and needs to be replaced,

contact your Yamaha dealer. The use of an inappropriate replacement can pose a ﬁre and shock hazard!

The type of AC power cord provided with the CLP-170/150 may be different depending on the country in which it is purchased.

(In some areas a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin conﬁguration of the AC wall outlets in your area.) Do NOT mod-

ify the plug provided with the CLP-170/150. If the plug will not ﬁt the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualiﬁed electri-

cian.

Selecting and Playing Voices

Using the pedals

The Clavinova has three foot pedals: damper pedal (right), sostenuto

pedal (center), and soft pedal (left) that produce a range of expressive

effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.

If the damper pedal doesn’t

work, or notes are sustained

even when the pedal is not

pressed, make sure that the

pedal cord is properly

plugged into the PEDAL jack

on the unit (see step 5 on

page 113 (CLP-150), see

step 6 on page 116 (CLP-

170)). Also, make sure that

the RPedal parameter in the

“VOICE SETTING” menu is

set to ON (see page 83).

Damper (right) pedal

When you press the damper pedal, the notes

you play have a longer sustain.

When you select Grand Piano 1, pressing the

damper pedal activates the instrument’s special

“Sustain Samples” to accurately recreate the

unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s

soundboard and strings.

You can adjust the depth of

the resonance produced by

the “Sustain Samples” using

the Sustain Sampling Depth

parameter in the “OTHER

SETTING” menu. (See

page 93.)

Sostenuto (center) pedal

If you play a note or chord on the keyboard

and press the sostenuto pedal while holding

the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as

the pedal is held. All subsequent notes will

not sustain.

You can assign a function to

each pedal via the “R

Pedal”, “M Pedal”, and “L

Pedal” parameters in the

“VOICE SETTING” menu.

(See pages 83, 84.)

The center and left pedals

can also be assigned to

song start/stop operation

(START/STOP function) via

the “PedalStart/Stop”

parameter in the “OTHER

SETTING” menu (on

page 94).

Soft pedal (left)

The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes

played while the pedal is pressed. (The soft pedal will not affect notes that are

already playing when it is pressed. Press the pedal immediately before you

play the target notes.)

With the Vibraphone and Jazz Organ voices, this pedal turns vibrato on and

off or toggles the speed of vibrato. (See page 93.)

TIP

When you press the damper

pedal here, the notes you

play before you release the

pedal have a longer sustain.

TIP

When you press the sostenuto

pedal here while holding the

note(s), the notes will sustain

as long as you hold the pedal.

To enhance the acoustic realism of the sound ...[iAFC

(Instrumental Active Field Control)] (CLP-170)

When iAFC is engaged, the Clavinova will sound deeper and more resonant, similar to an acoustic musical

instruments.

Perform the automatic adjustment after you turn on the power of the Clavinova for the ﬁrst time,

and after each time you move the Clavinova. (page 86)

Procedure

How iAFC works

Sounds picked up by a mic

and sounds produced inter-

nally by the Clavinova are

processed and output from

the rear speaker to enhance

acoustic realism of the sound.

iAFC uses Yamaha’s EMR

(Electronic Microphone

Rotator) technology to

ensure stability against

acoustic feedback.

iAFC cannot be used in

the following cases.

When using iAFC, do not

block the speaker located on

the rear panel of the Clavi-

nova. The optimal iAFC

effect cannot be obtained if

this speaker is blocked.

Recording Your Performance

You can record your perfor-

mance (audio data) to a cas-

sette tape recorder or other

recording devices via the

AUX OUT connector. (see

page 60.)

This chapter explains how to record your performance using the Clavinova

recording function.

You can, for example, play back what you have played on the Clavinova key-

board for an effective practice aid. You can also record just the left-hand part,

then practice the right-hand part while playing back the recorded left-hand

part.

Since you can record up to sixteen tracks separately, you could record the left-

and right-hand parts separately, or record each part of a four-handed perfor-

mance or ensemble song one by one to build a song.

Recording vs. Saving:

The format of performance data recorded on a cassette tape differs from that of data recorded on the Clavinova. A cas-

sette tape records audio signals. On the other hand, the Clavinova “saves” information regarding note timing, voices, and

a tempo value, but not audio signals. When you play back recorded songs, the Clavinova produces sound based on the

saved information. Therefore, recording on the Clavinova may be more accurately called “saving information.” However,

this book often uses the word “recording” because it seems to make more sense.

A message (information or conﬁrmation dialog) sometimes appears on the screen to facilitate operation.

Refer to the “Message List” on page 96 for an explanation of each message, appropriate actions to take, and

troubleshooting information.

Recording a New Song

Recording to [TRACK 1]

Procedure

If you select a song other

than “P-000: NewSong” and

Adjusting the volume balance between playback and your performance [SONG

BALANCE]

While recording multiple parts into tracks one by one, you can adjust the volume balance between the play-

back of the recorded parts and your current performance.

Procedure

Some commercially-avail-

able music data contains

extremely high volumes.

When using such data,

please adjust the song bal-

ance.

The song balance setting is

also used during playback.

(See page 55.)

1. Move [SONG BALANCE] to the left or right to make

adjustments.

Recording in Dual or Split mode

When you record in Dual or Split mode, the Clavinova records each voice onto a separate track. The follow-

ing table shows how tracks are assigned to each voice.

CAUTION

When you record multiple parts into tracks one by one, or when you record new data over an existing song (see

page 43), the existing data will be erased. Proceed with caution.

In the following example, Tracks 1, 2, and EXTRA TRACKn have been selected for recording.

Note: TRACKn = TRACK 3 – TRACK 16

If “n+1,” “n+2,” and “n+3” exceed 16, TRACKs 1, 2, and 3 are used.

Saving Recorded Songs and

Handling the Files...[FILE]

File

A ﬁle contains a group of

data. On the Clavinova, a

song ﬁle includes song data

and a song number.

Memory

Memory is a location inside

the Clavinova in which you

can save and edit data.

Formatting (Initializing)

(CLP-170)

Floppy disks are a conve-

nient media that allow you to

save various data for per-

sonal computers and other

devices. There are many

ways (formats) to save data

on ﬂoppy disks, depending

on the device. Therefore,

you need to prepare a ﬂoppy

disk by assigning a format

before you can use it on a

particular type of device.

This operation is called “for-

matting.”

Character code

Type of characters

Please note that the copy

features are intended for

your personal use only.

File screens (accessed via the [FILE] button) enables you to handle song ﬁles

(e.g., save, delete, and rename recorded songs), copy and format disks (CLP-

170), and change the characters on the screen.

The following parameters are provided for these operations:

Clavinova memory

The Clavinova has the following three types of memory:

• Current memory:

This is a temporary memory area where you can temporarily place and edit

the currently-selected song before playback or recording.

• Preset song memory:

This read-only memory area saves 50 piano preset songs.

• Storage memory:

This memory area enables you to save recorded songs or song data loaded

from ﬂoppy disk (CLP-170).

When you select a song in the song select screen, it is loaded from Preset song

memory, Storage memory, or ﬂoppy disk (CLP-170), into Current memory.

You will use Current memory to play back and record songs. When you turn

off the power to the Clavinova, songs saved in Preset song memory and Stor-

age memory are not erased. On the other hand, songs in Current memory are

lost. If you wish to keep a song in Current memory, you must save it in Stor-

age memory or on a ﬂoppy disk (CLP-170) (see pages 48, 49).

In this manual, a song located in a song recorded in Current memory, is

referred to as a “Current song,” a song in Storage memory is a “Memory

song,” and a song on a ﬂoppy disk is a “Disk song” (CLP-170).

the audio device to the

Clavinova’s AUX IN jacks. If

you make this connection,

the signal input at the AUX

IN jacks will be output from

AUX OUT. This creates an

audio loop, causing audio

oscillation and abnormal

playback, and leading to

malfunction of both pieces

of equipment.

Use audio cables and adap-

tor plugs with no resistance.

Do not use your computer in a way that causes it to enter an unstable state.

CAUTION

•If you turn the power of the Clavinova on/off or connect/disconnect the USB cable in the following

states, problems will occur in the computer system, possibly causing it to “freeze” (hang up), or causing

the Clavinova to stop functioning.

-While installing the driver

-While starting-up or shutting-down the operating system

-While your computer is suspended (sleeping)

-While a MIDI application is running

•Performing the following actions may cause your computer to hang up or the Clavinova to stop func-

tioning.

-Rapidly turning the power on/off or connecting/disconnecting the cable

- Shifting to power-conservation (sleep) mode while MIDI data is being transferred, or returning from

sleep mode

-Connecting/disconnecting the cable while the power of the Clavinova is on

-Turning the power of the Clavinova on/off, starting up your computer, or installing the driver while a

Procedure

Press [iAFC SETTING] to enter iAFC Setting mode.

Perform the automatic adjustment when you turn on the

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

you have moved the Clavinova. (page 86)

See the procedure on page 71.

Listen to the demo song for each iAFC type. (page 32)

Settings:

SpatialEnsEfx (Spatial Ensemble Effect)

This lets you experience the ambience and rever-

beration that are characteristic of performing on

stage. Ambience and reverberation are also added

to the performance of the musicians playing

together with you, letting you enjoy the sensation

of playing together on stage. The sound of the

instrument itself and the sound of singing and

other instruments played nearby is picked up by a

mic, and processed to simulate the spatial charac-

teristic of performing together on stage.

NaturalSndBrd (Natural Soundboard)

This creates the resonance and enhances the acous-

tic realism of the sound that is characteristic of

acoustic instruments. When used on a grand piano

sound, it produces a more natural-sounding piano.

The sound of the instrument itself is picked up by a

mic, and processed to create a virtual soundboard.

DynDmpEfx (Dynamic Damper Effect)

This simulates the sustain sound that occur when

you press the damper pedal of a grand piano. The

mic is not used, but the sound produced within the

Clavinova is processed to create a spacious sensa-

tion.

This parameter is effective only on the voice group

Detailed settings for iAFC [iAFC SETTING] (CLP-170)

This automatically adjusts the sensitivity and

response of iAFC so that the optimal iAFC effect

will be obtained.

When automatic adjustment begins, a fairly loud

harpsichord note will sound four times at a ﬁxed

interval.

Automatic adjustment will end in approximately

two and a half minutes.

While automatic adjustment is being performed,

do not make audible noises in the vicinity of the

Clavinova.

See the procedure on page 71.

iAFC cannot be used in the following cases.

• When the Speaker setting is Normal, and head-

phones are connected.

• When the Speaker setting is Off.

The keyboard will not produce sound while automatic

adjustment is being performed. Nor is it possible to

adjust the volume of the Clavinova.

If a sound occurs in the vicinity of the Clavinova during

automatic adjustment, the automatic adjustment may be

aborted, and the settings reset to their default values.

If this occurs, we recommend that you perform the auto-

matic adjustment once again.

If any low-range noise (such as an air conditioner or traf-

ﬁc) is audible around the Clavinova during the automatic

adjustment, the adjustment may abort and the settings

reset to their default values. If this occurs, we recom-

mend that you perform the automatic adjustment once

again after you eliminate the noise.

If you re-locate the Clavinova after making the automatic

adjustment, ﬁrst reset the iAFC settings to their default

values before re-locating the unit. (See the following.)

About MIDI

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard format for data transmission/reception. It

enables the transfer of performance data and commands between MIDI devices and personal computers.

Using MIDI, you can control a connected MIDI device from the Clavinova, or control the Clavinova from

a connected MIDI device or computer.

MIDI connectors

MIDI [IN]: Receives MIDI data.

MIDI [OUT]: Transmits MIDI data.

MIDI [THRU]: Transmits data received at the MIDI [IN] connector as it is.

Prepare dedicated MIDI cables.

[TO HOST] connector

Use this connector to connect the Clavinova to a computer.

The type connecting cable varies depending on the computer. Refer to “Connect-

ing a Personal Computer” on page 61 for more information.

[USB] connector

Use this connector to connect the Clavinova and computer.

TIP

MIDI performance data and

commands are transferred in

Since MIDI data that can be

transmitted or received var-

ies depending on the type of

MIDI device, check the “MIDI

Implementation Chart” to ﬁnd

out what MIDI data and com-

mands your devices can

transmit or receive. The Clavi-

nova’s MIDI Implementation

Chart is listed on pages 31

and 32 in the “Reference

See the procedure on page 71.

Setting range:

Equal

One octave is divided into twelve equal

intervals. Currently most popular piano

tuning scale.

PureMajor/PureMinor

Based on natural overtones, three major

chords using these scales produce a beauti-

ful, pure sound. They are sometimes used

for chorus parts.

Pythagorean

This scale, designed by Pythagoras, a Greek

philosopher, is based on the interval of a

perfect 5th. The 3rd produces swells, but

the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable

for some leads.

MeanTone

This scale is an improvement of the

Pythagorean in that the swell of the 3rd has

been eliminated. It spread during the late

16th century through the late 18th century.

Handel used this scale.

WerckMeister/KirnBerger

These scales combine Mean Tone and

Pythagorean in different ways. With these

scales, modulation changes the impression

and feel of the songs. They were often used

in the era of Bach and Beethoven. They are

also often used now to reproduce the music

of that era on harpsichords.

Normal setting:

Equal

If you select a scale other than Equal, you need to

specify the root note using the B [–]/[+] buttons.

Setting range:

C, C

, D, E

, E, F, F

, G, A

, A, B

, B

You can specify the split point (the boundary between

the right-hand and left-hand keyboard areas).

See the procedure on page 71.

Setting range:

A-1–C7

You can also use [SPLIT] to set the split point. (page 36)

TRANSPOSE= To change the key

(Changing the key: To raise or lower the overall pitch of

the entire song.)

The Clavinova’s Transpose function makes it possible to

shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semi-

tone intervals to facilitate playing in difﬁcult key signa-

tures, and to let you easily match the pitch of the

keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments.

For example, if you set the transposition amount to “5,”

playing key C produces pitch F. In this way, you can play

the song as if it were in C major, and the Clavinova will

transpose it to the key of F.

Questions about Operations

and Functions

■ The buttons do not respond.

While you are using a function, some buttons

not used for the function are disabled. If the

song is playing, stop the playback. Otherwise,

press the [EXIT] button to return to the main

screen. Then, perform the desired operation.

■

The sound sustains and does not decay

when I press the sostenuto pedal.

With the voices in the CHURCH ORGAN,

JAZZ ORGAN, STRINGS, CHOIR group, or

some voices in the XG group, the sound contin-

ues sustaining while you are holding down the

sostenuto pedal.

■

Higher or lower notes does not sound cor-

rectly when the transpose or octave setting

is made.

The setting range for the transposition and

octave setting is C-2 - G8. (With the normal set-

ting, the Clavinova’s 88 keys covers the range of

A-1 - C7.) If the lowest key is set to a note lower

than C-2, it will produce a sound one octave

higher. If the highest key is set to a note higher

than G8, it will produce a sound one octave

lower.

■

How can I return to the recording or song

select screen during song recording or play-

back?

Press one of the SONG SELECT [ ] and

[] buttons once.

■

The tempo does not change even though I

recorded with tempo changes.

Depending on the timing of tempo changes, the

changed tempo may not be recorded. In this

case, the recording will be played back at the

original tempo.

Make tempo changes when the recording track

is selected and a red track indicator is ﬂashing.

The same trick applies to editing the tempo

after recording.

■

Performance in Dual or Split mode is not

recorded.

Track data is lost unexpectedly.

For Dual or Split mode recording, the recording

track for the second voice (that is, the voice for

the left-hand part) is automatically assigned

(page 33). Therefore, if the track already has

data, the data will be overwritten during

recording. Also, switching to Dual mode or

Split mode in the middle of the song is not

recorded. Therefore, the notes you played with

the second voice (or the notes lower than the

Split point) are not recorded.

■

What type of data is recorded?

Data recorded in the tracks:

•Note data (notes you play)

•Voice selection

•Clavinova pedals and external pedal on/off

measure in which you wish to change the key

signature, then change it.

■

How much data can I record?

• Current memory (page 48): About 800KB

• Storage memory (page 48): About 750KB

• 2DD ﬂoppy disk (CLP-170) (page 12): about

720KB

• 2HD ﬂoppy disk (CLP-170) (page 12): about

1.4MB

■

The on/off setting of the pedal connected to

the AUX PEDAL jack is reversed.

Some types of pedals may turn on and off in

opposite fashion. Use the “AuxPedalType”

parameter (page 84) in the “OTHER SET-

TING” menu to change the external pedal set-

ting.

■

The song title is not correct.

The “CharacterCode” setting may be different

than that used when you named the song. Also,

if the song was recorded on another instru-

ment, the title might be displayed incorrectly.

Use the “CharacterCode” parameter (page 54)

in the FILE menu to change the setting. How-

ever, if the song was recorded on another

instrument, changing the “CharacterCode”

parameter setting may not resolve the problem.

■

What is the difference between “Touch-

Sense” and “TouchResponse” MIDI data?

“TouchSense” determines the manner and

degree to which the volume level changes in

response to your touch on the keyboard. The

MIDI note-on velocity data is not changed. It

changes the volume level at the same velocity

data.

“TouchResponse” determines the touch sensi-

tivity of an instrument. The MIDI note-on

velocity data is changed when you play the key-

board with a consistent touch.

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 (CLP-170)

• Sequence format

• Voice allocation format

Disk format (CLP-170)

Floppy disks are the main storage medium for data

used with various devices, including computers. Dif-

ferent devices have different systems of saving data,

therefore it is necessary to ﬁrst conﬁgure the ﬂoppy

disk to the system of the device being used. This opera-

tion is called “formatting.”

• There are two types of ﬂoppy disks: MF2DD (dou-

ble sided, double density) and MF2HD (double

sided, high density), and each type has different for-

matting systems.

• CLP-170 can record and playback with both types of

ﬂoppy disks.

• When formatted by the CLP-170, a 2DD disk saves

up to 720 KB (kilobytes) and a 2HD disk saves 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.

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 CLP-170/150 is compatible with both Format

0 and Format 1.

• Performance data recorded on the CLP-170/150 is

saved in the SMF format 0 in a ﬂoppy disk.

■

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 CLP-170/150 is compatible with ESEQ.

108

CLP-170/150

Data Compatibility

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 play-

back.

[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 Sys-

tem Level 1, as is most commercially available

software.

•The CLP-170/150 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 CLP-170/150 is compatible with XG.

•Performance data recorded with preset voices on

the CLP-170/150 can be played on other XG-

compatible instruments.

■

DOC (Disk Orchestra Collection)

This voice allocation format is compatible with

many of Yamaha’s MIDI devices, including the

Clavinova series instruments.

This is also common format used with various

Yamaha software.

The CLP-170 is compatible with DOC.

•Even if the devices and data used satisfy all the

conditions above, the data may still not be com-

pletely compatible, depending on the speciﬁca-

tions of the devices and particular data recording

methods.

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

cial Message Section items, and any Assembly Instructions

found in this manual BEFORE making any connections, includ-

ing connection to the main supply.

2. Main Power Supply Veriﬁcation: Yamaha products are

manufactured speciﬁcally for the supply voltage in the area

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AWG number, the larger the current handling capacity. For

longer extension cords, consult a local electrician.

6. Ventilation: Electronic products, unless speciﬁcally

designed for enclosed installations, should be placed in locations

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. • 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. • Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it. • Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands. • Use only the supplied power cord/plug. Fire warning • 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 put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall over and cause a fire. If you notice any abnormality • If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. 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. 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 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. • 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. 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. (1)B-7 • 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. 1/2 CLP-170/150 3 CLP170,150E.book Page 4 Thursday, May 30, 2002 10:41 AM Connections Using the bench (If included) • 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. • 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. • In the case of a model which the height adjustable bench included, 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. 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. • If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten them periodically using the included tool. Saving data Handling caution Saving and backing up your data • 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. • Current data (see page 46) is lost when you turn off the power to the instrument. Save the data to a floppy disk (CLP-170)/ the storage memory (see page 46). Saved data may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Save important data to a floppy disk (CLP-170). Backing up the floppy disk (CLP-170) • To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you save your important data onto two floppy disks. • 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 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. 4 (1)B-7 CLP-170/150 2/2 CLP170,150E.book Page 5 Tuesday, November 12, 2002 9:04 AM Thank you for choosing the Yamaha Clavinova CLP-170/150.

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. Drive lamp Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive before turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt that can cause data read and write errors. Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head • Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument employs a precision magnetic read/write head which, after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of magnetic particles from the disks used that will eventually cause read and write errors. • To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order Yamaha recommends that you use a commercially-available dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the availability of proper head-cleaning disks. • 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: To eject a floppy disk: Before ejecting the disk, be sure to confirm that the floppy disk drive is stopped. If the disk drive is operating (during the [SaveToDisk] (P53), [DeleteSong] (P53), [RenameSong] (P54), [CopyDisk] (P55), or [FormatDisk] (P56) operation), the Clavinova displays [Executing]. Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off when the disk drive is operating. Doing so can damage the disk and possibly the disk drive. 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. Eject button 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. 12 CLP-170/150 • 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. Handling the Floppy Disk Drive(FDD) and Floppy Disk • To protect your data (Write-protect Tab): • Data backup • To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the disk’s write-protect tab to the “protect” position (tab open). • 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 Copy Disk function on page 52. write-protect tab open (protect position) Maintenance Clean the instrument using a dry or slightly damp soft cloth (wring well). CAUTION Do not use benzene, thinner, detergent, or chemically-treated cloth for cleaning. Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber products on the instrument. Otherwise, the panel or keys may become discolored or degraded. CAUTION Before using the Clavinova, be sure to read “Precautions” on pages 3-4. Tuning Unlike an acoustic piano, the Clavinova does not need to be tuned. It always stays perfectly in tune. Transporting If you move to another location, you can transport the Clavinova along with your other belongings. You can move the unit as it is (assembled) or you can disassemble the unit. 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. TIP The CLP-170 features an iAFC (Instrumental Active Field Control) effect. This produces sound from the speaker located on the rear of the Clavinova, enhancing the reverberation and spaciousness of the sound. In order to take full advantage of iAFC, we recommend that you do the following. • Place the Clavinova so that its rear panel is at least 10 cm away from the wall. • After you move the Clavinova to a different location, perform the automatic adjustment.

(page 49) Bench (included or optional depending on locale) CLP-170/150 13 Features The Yamaha CLP-170/150 Clavinova features rich sounds produced by Yamaha’s proprietary “AWM dynamic stereo sampling” tone generator system, a “Graded Hammer” keyboard (CLP-150) that varies the key weight according to the key range, and a “GH3” keyboard (CLP-170) that enhances the graded hammer keyboard by allowing you to play a note to be played repeatedly without pressing the pedal, giving these electronic pianos a “playing-feel” that is very close to the keyboard of a genuine grand piano. The CLP-170/150 GrandPiano1 voice features 3 velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sampling), “String Resonance” (page 93) that recreates resonance of piano strings, special “Sustain Sampling” (page 93)that samples the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings when the damper pedal is pressed, and “Key-off Samples” that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are released. The CLP-170/150 comes much closer to the sound of a true acoustic piano.

Damper (right) pedal When you press the damper pedal, the notes you play have a longer sustain. When you select Grand Piano 1, pressing the damper pedal activates the instrument’s special “Sustain Samples” to accurately recreate the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings. h q q. q. . When you press the damper pedal here, the notes you play before you release the pedal have a longer sustain. Sostenuto (center) pedal If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held. All subsequent notes will not sustain. h q q. q. . TIP If the damper pedal doesn’t work, or notes are sustained even when the pedal is not pressed, make sure that the pedal cord is properly plugged into the PEDAL jack on the unit (see step 5 on page 113 (CLP-150), see step 6 on page 116 (CLP170)). Also, make sure that the RPedal parameter in the “VOICE SETTING” menu is set to ON (see page 83). TIP You can adjust the depth of the resonance produced by the “Sustain Samples” using the Sustain Sampling Depth parameter in the “OTHER SETTING” menu. (See page 93.) When you press the sostenuto pedal here while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as you hold the pedal. Soft pedal (left) The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while the pedal is pressed. (The soft pedal will not affect notes that are already playing when it is pressed. Press the pedal immediately before you play the target notes.) With the Vibraphone and Jazz Organ voices, this pedal turns vibrato on and off or toggles the speed of vibrato. (See page 93.)

CLP-170/150 37 Recording Your Performance TIP You can record your performance (audio data) to a cassette tape recorder or other recording devices via the AUX OUT connector. (see page 60.) This chapter explains how to record your performance using the Clavinova recording function. You can, for example, play back what you have played on the Clavinova keyboard for an effective practice aid. You can also record just the left-hand part, then practice the right-hand part while playing back the recorded left-hand part. Since you can record up to sixteen tracks separately, you could record the leftand right-hand parts separately, or record each part of a four-handed performance or ensemble song one by one to build a song. TERMINOLOGY Recording vs. Saving: The format of performance data recorded on a cassette tape differs from that of data recorded on the Clavinova. A cassette tape records audio signals. On the other hand, the Clavinova “saves” information regarding note timing, voices, and a tempo value, but not audio signals. When you play back recorded songs, the Clavinova produces sound based on the saved information. Therefore, recording on the Clavinova may be more accurately called “saving information.” However, this book often uses the word “recording” because it seems to make more sense. A message (information or confirmation dialog) sometimes appears on the screen to facilitate operation. Refer to the “Message List” on page 96 for an explanation of each message, appropriate actions to take, and troubleshooting information.

When you select a song in the song select screen, it is loaded from Preset song memory, Storage memory, or floppy disk (CLP-170), into Current memory. You will use Current memory to play back and record songs. When you turn off the power to the Clavinova, songs saved in Preset song memory and Storage memory are not erased. On the other hand, songs in Current memory are lost. If you wish to keep a song in Current memory, you must save it in Storage memory or on a floppy disk (CLP-170) (see pages 48, 49). In this manual, a song located in a song recorded in Current memory, is referred to as a “Current song,” a song in Storage memory is a “Memory song,” and a song on a floppy disk is a “Disk song” (CLP-170). Preset song memory Current memory Clavinova 46 CLP-170/150 Storage memory Floppy disk (CLP-170) TERMINOLOGY File A file contains a group of data. On the Clavinova, a song file includes song data and a song number. Memory Memory is a location inside the Clavinova in which you can save and edit data. Formatting (Initializing) (CLP-170) Floppy disks are a convenient media that allow you to save various data for personal computers and other devices. There are many ways (formats) to save data on floppy disks, depending on the device. Therefore, you need to prepare a floppy disk by assigning a format before you can use it on a particular type of device.

When automatic adjustment begins, a fairly loud harpsichord note will sound four times at a fixed interval. Automatic adjustment will end in approximately two and a half minutes. While automatic adjustment is being performed, do not make audible noises in the vicinity of the Clavinova. See the procedure on page 71. This sets the iAFC function to the default setting. See the procedure on page 71. TIP iAFC cannot be used in the following cases. • When the Speaker setting is Normal, and headphones are connected. • When the Speaker setting is Off. TIP The keyboard will not produce sound while automatic adjustment is being performed. Nor is it possible to adjust the volume of the Clavinova. TIP If a sound occurs in the vicinity of the Clavinova during automatic adjustment, the automatic adjustment may be aborted, and the settings reset to their default values. If this occurs, we recommend that you perform the automatic adjustment once again. TIP If any low-range noise (such as an air conditioner or traffic) is audible around the Clavinova during the automatic adjustment, the adjustment may abort and the settings reset to their default values. If this occurs, we recommend that you perform the automatic adjustment once again after you eliminate the noise. TIP If you re-locate the Clavinova after making the automatic adjustment, first reset the iAFC settings to their default values before re-locating the unit. (See the following.) 86 CLP-170/150 MIDI [MIDI SETTING] You can make detailed MIDI settings, such as setting up MIDI transmit/receive channels. About MIDI MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard format for data transmission/reception. It enables the transfer of performance data and commands between MIDI devices and personal computers. Using MIDI, you can control a connected MIDI device from the Clavinova, or control the Clavinova from a connected MIDI device or computer. MIDI connectors MIDI [IN]: Receives MIDI data. MIDI [OUT]: Transmits MIDI data. MIDI [THRU]: Transmits data received at the MIDI [IN] connector as it is. TIP Prepare dedicated MIDI cables. [TO HOST] connector Use this connector to connect the Clavinova to a computer. TIP The type connecting cable varies depending on the computer. Refer to “Connecting a Personal Computer” on page 61 for more information. [USB] connector Use this connector to connect the Clavinova and computer. TIP MIDI performance data and commands are transferred in the form of numeric values. Since MIDI data that can be transmitted or received varies depending on the type of MIDI device, check the “MIDI Implementation Chart” to find out what MIDI data and commands your devices can transmit or receive. The Clavinova’s MIDI Implementation Chart is listed on pages 31 and 32 in the “Reference Booklet” for the CLP-170/150. When you are using the MIDI connectors, set the [HOST SELECT] switch to “MIDI.” (See page 59.) TIP When you are using the [TO HOST] connector, set the [HOST SELECT] switch correctly, according to the type of computer you are using. (See page 59.)

Equal Temperament is the most common contemporary piano tuning scale. However, history has known numerous other scales, many of which serve as the basis for certain genres of music. You can experience the tunings of these genres. See the procedure on page 71. A B NO C NO C D Equal One octave is divided into twelve equal intervals. Currently most popular piano tuning scale. PureMajor/PureMinor Based on natural overtones, three major chords using these scales produce a beautiful, pure sound. They are sometimes used for chorus parts. Pythagorean This scale, designed by Pythagoras, a Greek philosopher, is based on the interval of a perfect 5th. The 3rd produces swells, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some leads. MeanTone This scale is an improvement of the Pythagorean in that the swell of the 3rd has been eliminated. It spread during the late 16th century through the late 18th century. Handel used this scale. WerckMeister/KirnBerger These scales combine Mean Tone and Pythagorean in different ways. With these scales, modulation changes the impression and feel of the songs. They were often used in the era of Bach and Beethoven. They are also often used now to reproduce the music of that era on harpsichords. Normal setting: Equal If you select a scale other than Equal, you need to specify the root note using the B [–]/[+] buttons. D I b I b b C, C , D, E , E, F, F , G, A , A, B , B Setting range: Specifying the Split Point [Split Point] You can specify the split point (the boundary between the right-hand and left-hand keyboard areas).

(page 36) Changing the key [Transpose] TIP TRANSPOSE= To change the key (Changing the key: To raise or lower the overall pitch of the entire song.) The Clavinova’s Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals to facilitate playing in difficult key signatures, and to let you easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if you set the transposition amount to “5,” playing key C produces pitch F. In this way, you can play the song as if it were in C major, and the Clavinova will transpose it to the key of F.

CLP-170/150 101 CLP170,150E.book Page 102 Thursday, May 30, 2002 10:44 AM Questions about Operations and Functions ■ The buttons do not respond. While you are using a function, some buttons not used for the function are disabled. If the song is playing, stop the playback. Otherwise, press the [EXIT] button to return to the main screen. Then, perform the desired operation. ■ The sound sustains and does not decay when I press the sostenuto pedal. With the voices in the CHURCH ORGAN, JAZZ ORGAN, STRINGS, CHOIR group, or some voices in the XG group, the sound continues sustaining while you are holding down the sostenuto pedal. ■ Higher or lower notes does not sound correctly when the transpose or octave setting is made. The setting range for the transposition and octave setting is C-2 - G8. (With the normal setting, the Clavinova’s 88 keys covers the range of A-1 - C7.) If the lowest key is set to a note lower than C-2, it will produce a sound one octave higher. If the highest key is set to a note higher than G8, it will produce a sound one octave lower. ■ How can I return to the recording or song select screen during song recording or playback? Press one of the SONG SELECT [ [ ] buttons once. ] and ■ The tempo does not change even though I recorded with tempo changes. Depending on the timing of tempo changes, the changed tempo may not be recorded. In this case, the recording will be played back at the original tempo. Make tempo changes when the recording track is selected and a red track indicator is flashing. The same trick applies to editing the tempo after recording. ■ Performance in Dual or Split mode is not recorded. Track data is lost unexpectedly. For Dual or Split mode recording, the recording track for the second voice (that is, the voice for the left-hand part) is automatically assigned (page 33). Therefore, if the track already has data, the data will be overwritten during recording. Also, switching to Dual mode or Split mode in the middle of the song is not recorded. Therefore, the notes you played with the second voice (or the notes lower than the Split point) are not recorded. ■ What type of data is recorded? Data recorded in the tracks: • Note data (notes you play) • Voice selection • Clavinova pedals and external pedal on/off • Reverb depth [ReverbSend] • Chorus depth [ChorusSend] • DSP effect depth [DSPDepth] • Sound brightness [Brightness] • Resonance effect setting [Harmonic Content] • Equalizer’s low-range frequency setting [EQLowFreq.] • Equalizer’s low-range gain setting [EQLowGain] • Equalizer’s high-range frequency setting [EQHighFreq.] • Equalizer’s high-range gain setting [EQHighGain] • Octave setting of the voice [Octave] • Volume setting of each voice [Volume] • Left/right position of each sound [Pan] • Fine pitch adjustment between two voices (Dual only) [Detune] • Volume change in response to playing strength for each voice [TouchSense] Data recorded globally in all tracks: • Tempo • Time signature • Reverb type • Chorus type • DSP effect type You can change all data except for note data after recording. You can change the time signature at the beginning of the song, or at a position in the song to which you move, by using the B [–]/[+] buttons while the song is stopped. 102 CLP-170/150 Questions about Operations and Functions ■ I cannot change the key signature in the song after recording. Press the [TOP] button to locate the top of the song, use the B [–]/[+] buttons to locate the measure in which you wish to change the key signature, then change it. ■ How much data can I record? • Current memory (page 48): About 800KB • Storage memory (page 48): About 750KB • 2DD floppy disk (CLP-170) (page 12): about 720KB • 2HD floppy disk (CLP-170) (page 12): about 1.4MB ■ The on/off setting of the pedal connected to the AUX PEDAL jack is reversed. Some types of pedals may turn on and off in opposite fashion. Use the “AuxPedalType” parameter (page 84) in the “OTHER SETTING” menu to change the external pedal setting. ■ The song title is not correct. The “CharacterCode” setting may be different than that used when you named the song. Also, if the song was recorded on another instrument, the title might be displayed incorrectly. Use the “CharacterCode” parameter (page 54) in the FILE menu to change the setting. However, if the song was recorded on another instrument, changing the “CharacterCode” parameter setting may not resolve the problem. ■ What is the difference between “TouchSense” and “TouchResponse” MIDI data? “TouchSense” determines the manner and degree to which the volume level changes in response to your touch on the keyboard. The MIDI note-on velocity data is not changed. It changes the volume level at the same velocity data. “TouchResponse” determines the touch sensitivity of an instrument. The MIDI note-on velocity data is changed when you play the keyboard with a consistent touch. CLP-170/150 103 MEMO 104 CLP-170/150 Appendix CLP-170/150 105 Troubleshooting Problem Cause The power of the Clavinova does not turn on. The power cable is not plugged in (check at the Clavinova and at the electrical outlet). Insert the power cable plug firmly into the Clavinova and into the electrical outlet of the correct voltage. (page 17) There is a clicking noise when you press [POWER] to turn the power on or off. This is caused by the electrical power within the instrument. This is not a malfunction. Noise is heard from the Clavinova. A portable telephone is being used near the Clavinova (or the ring tone is sounding). The overall volume is too low. Or, there is no sound at all. The [MASTER VOLUME] is lowered. Headphones are connected (only if the Speaker setting is “Normal HeadphoneSW”). (page 95) Speaker setting is off. Local Control is turned off. “Expression” is assigned to one of the right, center, and left pedals. The keyboard volume is lower than the song playback volume. Sound is still heard from the speakers even though headphones are plugged in. iAFC is not effective when it is turned ON. Feedback occurs when you turn iAFC on. (CLP-170) Damper pedal does not function, or notes are sustained even though the damper pedal is not pressed. 106 Solution CLP-170/150 The volume level for the keyboard performance is set too low. Speaker setting is On. The iAFC mic cords are not inserted into the jacks firmly. iAFC was not automatically adjusted correctly. The plug of the pedal cable is not inserted into the [PEDAL] jack. Turn off the power of the portable telephone located near the Clavinova. Noise may be heard if a portable telephone is used near the Clavinova or if the ring tone occurs. Raise [MASTER VOLUME]. (page 18) Disconnect the headphone plug. Set [Speaker] to “Normal” or “ON”. (page 95) Set Local control ON. (page 89) Assign any function other than “Expression” to the pedal. Move [SONG BALANCE] toward the keyboard to increase the keyboard volume. Set the speaker setting to “Normal (HeadphoneSW)”. (page 95) Insert the iAFC mic cords firmly into the jacks. (page 116) Turn iAFC OFF, and perform the automatic adjustment (page 86). Plug the pedal cable firmly into the [PEDAL] jack. (Refer to “CLP-150: Keyboard Stand Assembly” beginning on page 112, or “CLP-170: Keyboard Stand Assembly” on page 115.) Data Compatibility This section covers basic information on data compatibility: whether or not other MIDI devices can playback the data recorded by CLP-170/150, and whether or not the CLP-170/150 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 Sequence Format The data and the MIDI device must match in regards to the items below. • Disk Format (CLP-170) • Sequence format • Voice allocation 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] Disk format (CLP-170) Floppy disks are the main storage medium for data used with various devices, including computers. Different devices have different systems of saving 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. • CLP-170 can record and playback with both types of floppy disks. • When formatted by the CLP-170, a 2DD disk saves up to 720 KB (kilobytes) and a 2HD disk saves 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. ■ 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 CLP-170/150 is compatible with both Format 0 and Format 1. • Performance data recorded on the CLP-170/150 is saved in the SMF format 0 in a floppy disk. ■ 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 CLP-170/150 is compatible with ESEQ. CLP-170/150 107 CLP170,150E.book Page 108 Thursday, October 31, 2002 2:30 PM Data Compatibility 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 CLP-170/150 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 CLP-170/150 is compatible with XG. • Performance data recorded with preset voices on the CLP-170/150 can be played on other XGcompatible instruments. ■ DOC (Disk Orchestra Collection) This voice allocation format is compatible with many of Yamaha’s MIDI devices, including the Clavinova series instruments. This is also common format used with various Yamaha software. The CLP-170 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. 108 CLP-170/150 Preset Voice List : YES, ×: No Voice group Voice name Stereo sampling Touch Sense Dynamic sampling Key-off samples String resonance GrandPiano1 This sound was sampled from a full concert grand piano.

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.
