Compressor is an effect commonly used to limit and compress the dynamics (softness/loudness) of an audio signal. For
signals that vary widely in dynamics, such as vocals and guitar parts, it “squeezes” the dynamic range, effectively making
soft sounds louder and loud sounds softer. When used with gain to boost the overall level, this creates a more powerful,
more consistently high-level sound.
This instrument features the Master Compressor applied to the entire sound of this instrument. Although the preset
Master Compressor settings are provided, you can create and save your original Master Compressor by adjusting the
related parameters. This display is available only when the “Master” tab is selected at the top of the Mixer display.

Type Multi Assign
The Multi Assign effect automatically assigns notes played simultaneously on the right-hand
section of the keyboard to separate parts (Voices). Both of the keyboard parts [Main] and
[Layer] should be turned on when using the Multi Assign effect. The Main and Layer Voices
are alternately assigned to the notes in the order you play.
Echo Type (Echo, Tremolo and Trill)
When one of the Echo Types is selected, the corresponding effect (echo, tremolo, trill) is
applied to the note played in the right-hand section of the keyboard in time with the currently
set tempo, regardless of the [ACMP ON/OFF] and the Left part on/off status. Keep in mind
that Trill works when you hold down two notes on the keyboard simultaneously (last two
notes if more than two notes are held), and it plays those notes alternately.
Volu me
This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi Assign.” It determines the
level of the harmony/echo notes generated by the Harmony/Echo effect.
Speed
This parameter is only available when Echo, Tremolo, or Trill is selected in Type above. It
determines the speed of the Echo, Tremolo, and Trill effects.
Assign
This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi Assign.” This lets you
determine the keyboard part via which the harmony/echo notes will be sounded.
•Auto:
Applies the effect to the part which is turned on. When the both parts are on, the Main
part is given priority over the Layer part.
•Multi: When both parts are on, the note played on the keyboard is sounded by Main part and
the harmonies (effect) are divided to the Main and Layer parts. When only one part is on, the
note played on the keyboard and effect are sounded by that part.
•Main, Layer: Applies the effect to the selected part (Main or Layer).
Chord Note
Only
This parameter is available when one of the Harmony Types is selected. When this is set to
“On,” the Harmony effect is applied only to the note (played in the right-hand section of the
keyboard) that belongs to a chord played in the chord section of the keyboard.
Minimum
Vel oc it y
This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi Assign.” It determines the
lowest velocity value at which the harmony note will sound. This allows you to selectively
apply the harmony by your playing strength, letting you create harmony accents in the
melody. The harmony effect is applied when you play the key strongly (above the set value).

Microphone Settings
This section lets you set parameters for various Effects that are applied to the microphone sound. You should make both
“Vocal” and “Talk” settings — “Vocal,” for your singing performance, and “Talk,” for making announcements between
songs, for example.
Microphone
On/Off
Turns on or off the microphone sound. When set to On, the microphone sound will be input to
the instrument
NOTE The setting here is equivalent to that in the Vocal Harmony display (page 24).
Voc al /Tal k
Switching
When you sing into the microphone for your performance, set this to “Vocal.” When you talk
normally or need to make announcements between songs of your performance, set this to
“Talk.” This lets you instantly change the microphone settings depending on the situation.

Vol um e
Adjustment
Adjusts the input volume of the microphone sound. The input level is shown at the right.
NOTE The setting here is equivalent to that in the Vocal Harmony display (page 24).
3 Band EQ
EQ (Equalizer) is a processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple bands which
can be boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall frequency response. The instrument
features a three-band (Low, Mid and High) digital equalizer function for the microphone
sound. For each of three bands, you can adjust the center frequency (Hz) and level (dB) via the
corresponding knobs on the display.
Noise Gate
This effect mutes the input signal when the input from the microphone falls below a specified
level. This effectively cuts off extraneous noise, allowing the desired signal (vocal, etc.) to pass.
On/Off
Turns Noise Gate on or off.
Th.
(Threshold)
Adjusts the input level above which the gate begins to open.
Compressor
This effect holds down the output when the input signal from the microphone exceeds a
specified level. This is especially useful for smoothing out vocals that have widely varying
dynamics. It effectively “compresses” the signal, making loud parts softer.
On/Off
Turns Compressor on or off.
Th.
(Threshold)
Adjusts the input level above which compression begins to be applied.
Ratio
Adjusts the compression ratio. Higher ratios result in a more compressed
sound, with a reduced dynamic range.
Output
Adjusts the final output level.

Vocal Harmony Settings
This section allows you to set various Vocal Harmony parameters, even though just selecting a Vocal Harmony Type will
call up the appropriate settings and you need not edit these parameters normally. If you want to make more detailed
settings for your performance, read this chapter.
The structure of the Vocal Harmony function differs between the CVP-609 and CVP-605. The explanation here applies to
both models. For information on other settings, refer to page 25 for the CVP-609 and refer to page 28 for the CVP-605.
NOTE The settings here are equivalent to those in the Microphone Setting display (page 22).

Mode
Although one of the three following Modes is automatically selected when a Vocal
Harmony type is selected, you can change the Mode.
Chordal
The harmony notes are determined by the following three chord
types: chords played in the chord section of the keyboard (with
[ACMP ON/OFF] turned on), chords played in the left hand
section of the keyboard (with the Left part turned on), and chords
contained in Song data for controlling the harmony. (Not available
if the Song does not contain any chord data.)
NOTE If you want to apply the Vocal Harmony by pressing the chords in
the chord section when the Style is stopped, you need to set the
“Stop ACMP” parameter to a setting other than “Disabled” in the
Style Setting display (page 76).
Vo co der
The microphone sound is output via the notes you play on the
keyboard or via the Song playback notes.
Vo co der-Mon o
Basically the same as the Vocoder. In this mode, only single-note
melodies or lines can be played back (with last-note priority).

Chord
Source
Determines which data or event of a Song will be used for chord detection.
•Off:
Detects no chord from the Song data.
•XF: Chord data defined via XF will be used.
• 1 – 16: Detects a chord from notes of the MIDI channel specified here.
Type
Determines how the harmony notes are applied to the microphone sound by selecting
one of the Chordal Types. Almost all Types apply the harmony notes based on the chord
specified via the left hand section of the keyboard, chord section of the keyboard, or the
Song data, with the exception of the following two Types.
•ScaleDiatonic:
This generates harmony notes based on the Key Root and Key Type
specified in the Harmony Assign display ( ), meaning that the harmony notes do not
depend on the chord but match the diatonic scale of the current song’s key signature.
• Parallel: This adds a note to the lead note (microphone sound) with the interval specified
at , regardless of the chord.
NOTE “Abv” in the Chordal Type List means that the harmony notes are generated above the lead
note (microphone sound) while “Blw” means that the harmony notes are generated below
the lead note.
(When the Mode is set to “Vocoder” or “Vocoder -Mono”)
Song Ch
When set to one of 1 – 16, note data (played from a Song on this instrument or the
connected computer) of the corresponding channel is used to control the harmony.
When set to “Off,” Song data control over harmony is turned off.
Part
When set to “Mute,” the channel selected above (to control Harmony) is muted (turned
off) during Song playback.
Keyboard
•Off: Keyboard control over harmony is turned off.
•Upper: Notes played to the right of the Split Point control the harmony.
•Lower: Notes played to the left of the Split Point control the harmony.
Balance
Lets you set the balance between the lead vocal (the microphone sound) and Vocal
Harmony sound. Raising this value increases the volume of the Vocal Harmony and
decreases that of the lead vocal. When this is set to L<H63 (L: Lead Vocal, H: Vocal
Harmony), only the Vocal Harmony is output; when it is set to L63>H, only the lead
vocal is output.
Balance
adjustment
for each Lead
note and
Harmony
note
The following parameters can be adjusted for each Lead note (microphone sound) and
Harmony note.
• Transpose/Degree:
Lets you shift the pitch for each Harmony note and Lead note. The
range for all notes is the same; however, the lead note can only be adjusted in octaves.
When the Chordal Type is set to “ScaleDiatonic,” this parameter changes to Degree, letting
you shift the pitch in degree from -3 octaves (-22 scale degrees) – Unison (1 scale degree) –
+3 octaves (+22 scale degrees).
• Detune: Determines the fine pitch setting for each Harmony note from -50 cents to +50
cents.
•Formant: Determines the formant setting for each Harmony note. The higher the value,
the more “feminine” the harmony voice becomes. The lower the value, the more
“masculine” the voice.
•Pan: Determines the pan position setting for each Harmony note. Setting each Harmony
note to a different pan position, with the Lead vocal at center, for example, results in a
naturally wide stereo sound.
• Volume: Determines the volume setting for each Harmony note. Use this to adjust the
relative level balance among the Lead vocal and the Harmony notes.
NOTE When PITCH CORRECT MODE ( ) is set to OFF the Lead part is not available for the
Transpose, Degree, Detune and Formant parameters.
NOTE The Transpose values of the Harmonies are available only when the Mode ( ) is set to
“Chordal.”

chord but match the diatonic scale of the current song’s key signature.
When the Harmony mode is set to “Vocoder” or “Vocoder-Mono”
•Transpose Mode: Determines the amount by which the harmony parts are transposed. A
setting of “0” results in no transposition, while the “Auto” setting results in automatic
transposition.
Detail
Setting
• PITCH CORRECT MODE: Corrects the pitch of the Lead note (microphone sound).
“Off” does not correct while “Hard” corrects the pitch most accurately.
• LEAD PITCH DETECT SPEED, HARM.PITCH DETECT SPEED: Determines how
fast the pitch of the Lead note and the harmony notes are detected in response to the signal
via the microphone. “1” responds most slowly, “4” is standard, “15” responds most quickly,
and “as MIC SETTING” gives priority to the speed specified at the Pitch Detect “Speed” of
the Microphone Setting display (page 23).
• HARMONY EFFECT: Determines the Effect type applied to the Harmony notes added
to the Lead note.
• HARMONY STABILITY: Determines the stability degree to which the Harmony is
applied to the Lead note. When set to “Stable,” this has a relatively stable sound with little
harmony motion. When set to “Dynamic,” this tends to add harmony with motion
according to the input sound.

Assignable Pedal Functions
For functions indicated with “*”, use only the Foot Controller; proper operation cannot be done with a Footswitch.
For functions indicated with “**”, they can be assigned also to the ASSIGNABLE [1] – [4] buttons.
Articulation 1/2**
When you use a Super Articulation Voice that has an effect assigned to the pedal/
footswitch, you can enable the effect by pressing the pedal/footswitch.
Vol um e*
Controls the volume. This function is available only for the foot controller connected
to the instrument’s [AUX PEDAL] jack.
Sustain
Controls the sustain. When you press and hold the pedal, all notes played on the
keyboard have a longer sustain. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any
sustained notes. The “Half Pedal Point” parameter allows you to specify how far down
you should press on the pedal until the damper effect starts working. This can be set
for all pedals on the CVP-609, as well as the right pedal and the foot controller
connected to the [AUX PEDAL] jack on the CVP-605.
Sostenuto
Controls the Sostenuto effect. If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the
pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held.
However, all subsequent notes will not sustain. This makes it possible to sustain a
chord, for example, while other notes are played staccato.
NOTE This function will not affect any of the Organ Flutes and only some of the Super
Articulation Voices.
Soft
Controls the Soft effect. Pressing this pedal reduces the volume and changes the timbre
of the notes you play. This is effective only for certain appropriate Voices. The “Half
Pedal Point” parameter allows you to specify how far down you should press on the
pedal until the soft effect starts working. This can be set for all pedals on the CVP-609,
as well as the right pedal and the foot controller connected to the [AUX PEDAL] jack
on the CVP-605.
Glide
When the pedal is pressed, the pitch changes, and then returns to normal pitch when
the pedal is released.
•Up/Down:
Determines whether the pitch change goes up (is raised) or down (is
lowered).
•Range: Determines the range of the pitch change, in semitones.
• On Speed: Determines the speed of the pitch change when the pedal is pressed.
• Off Speed: Determines the speed of the pitch change when the pedal is released.
Portamento
The portamento effect (a smooth slide between notes) can be produced while the pedal
is pressed. Portamento is produced when notes are played legato style (i.e., a note is
played while the preceding note is still held). The portamento time can also be adjusted
form the Voice Edit display (page 42). This function does not affect certain Natural
Voices, which would not sound appropriately with this function.
NOTE This function will not affect any of the Organ Flutes, Super Articulation 2 Voices and only

Sound
Filter
Filter is a processor that changes the timbre or tone of a sound by either blocking or passing a specific
frequency range. The parameters below determine the overall timbre of the sound by boosting or
cutting a certain frequency range. In addition to making the sound either brighter or mellower, Filter
can be used to produce electronic, synthesizer-like effects.
Brightness
Determines the cutoff frequency or effective
frequency range of the filter (see diagram).
Higher values result in a brighter sound.
Harmonic
Cont.
(Harmonic
Content)
Determines the emphasis given to the cutoff
frequency (resonance), set in Brightness
above (see diagram). Higher values result in
a more pronounced effect.
EG
The EG (Envelope Generator) settings determine how the
level of the sound changes in time. This lets you reproduce
many sound characteristics of natural acoustic instruments
— such as the quick attack and decay of percussion sounds,
or the long release of a sustained piano tone.
Attack
Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum level after the key is played.
The lower the value, the quicker the attack.
Decay
Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain level (a slightly lower level than
maximum). The lower the value, the quicker the decay.
Release
Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after the key is released. The
lower the value, the quicker the decay.
Vibrato
Vibrato is a quavering, vibrating sound effect that is
produced by regularly modulating the pitch of the Voice.
Depth
Determines the intensity of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings result in a more
pronounced Vibrato.
Speed
Determines the speed of the Vibrato effect.
Delay
Determines the amount of time that elapses between the playing of a key and the start
of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings increase the delay of the Vibrato onset.
Modulation
When the Modulation function is assigned to a pedal (page 38), the pedal can be used to modulate the
parameters below as well as the pitch (vibrato). Here, you can set the degree to which the pedal
modulates each of the following parameters.
Filter
Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the Filter Cutoff Frequency. For
details about the filter, refer to page 43.

the “Slow” and “Fast.” This is available only when an Effect Type of the ROTARY SP
Category is selected.
Vibrato
Turns on or off the vibrato, and adjusts its depth and speed.
Response
Affects both the attack and release (page 43) portion of the sound, increasing or
decreasing the response time of the initial swell and release, based on the Footage
controls. The higher the value, the slower the swell and release.
Attack
Selects “First” or “Each” as the Attack mode and adjusts the Attack length of the
sound.
In the First mode, attack (percussive sound) is applied only to the first notes played
and held simultaneously; while the first notes are held, any subsequently played
notes have no attack applied. In the Each mode, attack is applied equally to all notes.
The Attack length produces a longer or shorter decay immediately after the initial
attack. The longer the value, the longer the decay time.

Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator)
The Style Creator function lets you create your original Style by recording the rhythm pattern via the keyboard
performance and using the already-recorded Style data. Basically, select a preset Style that is closest to the type you want
to create, then record the rhythm pattern, bass line, chord backing, or phrase (referred to as “Source Pattern” in the Style
Creator) for each channel of each Section. Like the Song, two Recording methods are available: Realtime Recording and
Step Recording (page 48).
Style Data Structure – Consisting of Source Patterns
A Style is made up of the different Sections (Intro, Main, Ending, etc.) and each Section has eight separate channels, each
of which is referred to as “Source Pattern.” With the Style Creator feature, you can create a Style by separately recording
the Source Pattern for each channel, or by importing pattern data from other existing Styles.
Basic Procedure for creating a Style
The detailed instructions are described on the reference page of each step.
1 Select the desired Style as starting data.
2 Call up the Style Creator display via [Menu] → [StyleCreator].
3 On the “Basic” display, select a Section (page 48).
As necessary, make the following settings.
• If you create a Style entirely from scratch, touch [Initialize Style] to make the current Style empty.
• If you initialize the Style, set the length (measure amount) of the Source Pattern.
• Set the overall parameters such as Tempo and Beat.

Realtime Recording
Realtime Recording Characteristics in the Style Creator
Loop Recording
Style playback repeats the rhythm patterns of several measures in a “loop,” and Style recording is also done using
loops. For example, if you start recording with a two-measure Main section, the two measures are repeatedly
recorded. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition (loop), letting you record while hearing
previously recorded material.
Overdub Recording
This method records new material to a channel already containing recorded data, without deleting the original data.
In Style recording, the recorded data is not deleted, except when using functions such as “Clear Drum Inst” (page 50)
“Delete” (pages 50, 51) and “Remove Event” (page 54). For example, if you start recording with a two-measure Main
section, the two measures are repeated many times. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition,
letting you overdub new material to the loop while hearing previously recorded material. When creating a Style
based on an existing internal Style, overdub recording is applied only to the rhythm channels. For all other channels
(except rhythm), you need to delete the original data before recording.
Available Voices for recording
For the Rhythm1 channel, any except Organ Flutes Voices can be used for recording.
For the Rhythm2 channel, only Drum/SFX kits can be used for recording.

Record a phrase in CM7 which will play appropriate notes as change chords during
performance
Rules when recording a Main or Fill-in
With the default initial settings, the Source Root/Chord is set to CM7. This means that you should record a Source
Pattern which is to be triggered by specifying CM7 during normal performance. Record a bass line, phrase or chord
backing which you want to hear when CM7 is specified. More concretely, see below.
• Use only the CM7 scale tones when recording the Bass and Phrase channels (i.e., C, D, E, G, A, and B).
• Use only the chord tones when recording the Chord and Pad channels (i.e., C, E, G, and B).
If you observe this rule, Style playback notes are appropriately converted depending on the chord changes you make
during your performance.
Rules when recording an Intro or Ending
These Sections are designed assuming that the chord is not changed during playback. This is why you need not
observe the rule for Main and Fill-In Sections described above, and you can make the chord progression in
recording. However, follow the rule below since the Source Root/Chord is set to CM7.
• When recording the Intro, make sure that the recorded phrase should lead to CM7 scale music.
• When recording the Ending, make sure that CM7 scale music should lead to the recorded phrase.
Setting the Source Root/Chord if necessary
Although the default Source Root/Chord is set to CM7 as described above, you can change this to your favorite one
which lets you play easily. Call up the “SFF Edit” display, set the Source Root and Chord to the favorite or desired
Root and Chord type. Keep in mind that when you change the Source Chord from the default CM7 to another
chord, the chord notes and recommended notes will also change. For details, refer to page 56.
3 Press the STYLE CONTROL [ / ](START/STOP) button to start recording.
With the already recorded data playing back, turn each channel on or off by touching as desired.
If necessary, delete a channel by touching [Delete] located under the desired channel.
4 As soon as loop playback returns to the first beat in the first measure, start playing the bass
line, chord backing or phrase to be recorded.
5 Press the [ / ](START/STOP) button to stop playback.
If you want to add more notes, press the [ / ](START/STOP) button again to continue recording.
To hear the playback sound of the already recorded channels with another Source Chord/
Root:
1) Call up the “SFF Edit” display, then set the “Target Ch” at the top of the display to “Rhythm1” or “Rhythm2.”
2) Touch [Play Root/Chord] to call up the operation display.
3) Press the STYLE CONTROL [ / ](START/STOP) button to start playback.

The explanations here apply to step 4 on page 48. In the Step Recording (Style Edit) display called up by touching
(Edit) at the upper right of the display, you can record or edit notes one by one. This Step Recording procedure is
essentially the same as that for Song Recording (page 60) with the exception of the points listed below:
• In the Song Creator, the “End” mark position can be changed freely; in the Style Creator, it cannot be changed. This is
because the length of the Style is fixed for all channels as you set in the “Basic” display (page 48). For example, if you
create a Style of four measures length, the “End” mark position is automatically set to the end of fourth measure, and
cannot be changed in the Style Edit display.
• Recording channels can be changed in the Song Creator’s Edit display; however, they cannot be changed in the Style
Creator. Select the Recording channel in the “Rec channel” display.
• In the Style Creator, Chord, Lyrics, and System Exclusive data cannot be entered. The Channel data can be entered and
System Exclusive data can be edited (delete, copy or move).
The explanations here apply to step 4 on page 48. The “Assembly” display shows that each channel data of the current
Section has been copied from which Style, which Section, and which channel. For each channel, touch the Style name,

Undo function only has one level; only the previous operation can be undone.
Channel Edit
Target Ch
Select the target channel to be edited. All items with the exception of the “Groove” are to be applied
to the channel specified here.
Groove
This lets you add swing to the music or change the “feel” of the beat by making subtle shifts in the
timing (clock) of the Style. The Groove settings are applied to all channels of the selected Section.
Original Beat
Specifies the beats to which Groove timing is to be applied. In other words, if “8
Beat” is selected, Groove timing is applied to the 8th notes; if “12 Beat” is
selected, Groove timing is applied to 8th-note triplets.
Beat Converter
Actually changes the timing of the beats (specified in the “Original Beat”
parameter above) to the selected value. For example, when Original Beat is set
to “8 Beat” and Beat Converter is set to “12,” all 8th notes in the section are
shifted to 8th-note triplet timing. The “16A” and “16B” Beat Converter which
appear when Original Beat is set to “12 Beat” are variations on a basic 16th-
note setting.
Swing
Produces a “swing” feel by shifting the timing of the back beats, depending on
the “Original Beat” parameter above. For example, if the specified Original
Beat value is “8 Beat”, the Swing parameter will selectively delay the 2nd, 4th,
6th, and 8th beats of each measure to create a swing feel. The settings “A”
through “E” produce different degrees of swing, with “A” being the most subtle
and “E” being the most pronounced.
Fine
Selects a variety of Groove “templates” to be applied to the selected section. The
“Push” settings cause certain beats to be played early, while “Heavy” settings
delay the timing of certain beats. The numbered settings (2, 3, 4, 5) determine
which beats are to be affected. All beats up to the specified beat — but not
including the first beat — will be played early or delayed (for example, the 2nd
and 3rd beats, if “3” is selected). In all cases, “A” types produce minimum effect,
“B” types produce medium effect, and “C” types produce maximum effect.

The explanations here apply to step 5 on page 48. The Style File Format (SFF) combines all of Yamaha’s Style playback
know-how into a single unified format. Setting the SFF related parameters determines how the original notes are
converted to the actual sounded notes based on the chord you specify in the Chord area of the keyboard. The conversion
flow is shown below.
The parameters shown above can be set in the “SFF Edit” display.

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

Table)
The parameters here determine how the notes in the Source Pattern are converted according to the
chord changes during your keyboard performance.
NTR
Selects the Note Transposition Rule which determines how the notes in the Source
Pattern are transposed according to the Chord Root change.
Root Trans
When the root note is transposed, the interval between notes is
maintained. For example, the notes C3, E3 and G3 in the key of C
become F3, A3 and C4 when they are transposed to F. Use this setting for
channels that contain melody lines.
Root Fixed
The note is kept as close as possible to the previous note range. For
example, the notes C3, E3 and G3 in the key of C become C3, F3 and A3
when they are transposed to F. Use this setting for channels that contain
chord parts.
Guitar
This is exclusively for transposing guitar accompaniment. Notes are
transposed to approximate the chords played with natural guitar
fingering.

NTT
Type
Selects the Note Transposition Table which determines how the notes in the Source
Pattern are transposed according to the Chord Type change.
When NTR is set to “Root Trans” or “Root Fixed”:
Bypass
When NTR is set to Root Fixed, the transposition table used does not do
any note conversion. When NTR is set to Root Trans, the table used only
converts the notes by maintaining the pitch relationship between notes.
Melody
Suitable for melody line transposition. Use this for melody channels such
as “Phrase1” and “Phrase2.”
Chord
Suitable for chordal parts transposition. Use this for the “Chord1” and
“Chord2” channels, especially when they contain piano or guitar-like
chordal parts.
Melodic
Minor
When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table
lowers the third interval in the scale by a semitone. When the chord
changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third interval is raised
by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for melody channels
of Sections which respond only to major/minor chords, such as Intros
and Endings.
Melodic
Minor 5th
In addition to the Melodic Minor transposition above, augmented and
diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source Pattern.
Harmonic
Minor
When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table
lowers the third and sixth intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the
chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third and flatted
sixth intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use
this for chord channels of Sections which respond only to major/minor
chords, such as Intros and Endings.
Harmonic
Minor 5th
In addition to the Harmonic Minor transposition above, augmented and
diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern.
Natural
Minor
When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this
table lowers the third, sixth and seventh intervals in the scale by a
semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the
minor third, flatted sixth and flatted seventh intervals are raised by a
semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of
Sections which respond only to a Major/minor chord such as Intros and
Endings.
Natural
Minor 5th
In addition to the Natural Minor transposition above, augmented and
diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern.
Dorian
When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this
table lowers the third and seventh intervals in the scale by a semitone.
When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third
and flatted seventh intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are
not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond only
to a Major/minor chord such as Intros and Endings.
Dorian 5th
In addition to the Dorian transposition above, augmented and
diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern.
When NTR is set to “Guitar”:
All Purpose
This table covers both stroke- and arpeggio-played sound.
Stroke
Suitable for stroke-played sound of the guitar. Some notes may sound as
if they are muted — this is normal condition when the chord is played on
guitar by stroke.

Arpeggio
Suitable for arpeggio-played sound of the guitar, resulting in beautiful
four-note arpeggio sounds.
NTT
Bass
The channel for which this is set to “On” will be played back by the bass root note, when
the on-bass chord is recognized by the instrument. When NTR is set to Guitar and this
parameter is set to “On,” only the note which is assigned to bass will be played back by the
bass root note.
NTR/NTT Settings for the Rhythm Channels
Since the Rhythm channels should not be affected by Chord change, make sure to make the
following settings.
•
NTR = Root Fixed
• NTT = Bypass
• NTT Bass = Off
With the above settings, the “Source Root” and “Source Chord” parameters are changed to “Play
Root” and “Play Chord,” respectively.
High Key/Note
Limit
Adjusts the Octave of the notes converted via the NTT and NTR.
High Key
This sets the highest key (upper octave limit) of the note transposition
for the chord root change. Any notes calculated to be higher than the
highest key are transposed down to the next lowest octave. This setting is
available only when the NTR parameter (page 56) is set to “Root Trans.”
Note Limit Low
These set the note range (highest and lowest notes) for Voices recorded
to the Style channels. By judicious setting of this range, you can ensure
that the Voices sound as realistic as possible — in other words, that no
notes outside the natural range are sounded (e.g., high bass sounds or
low piccolo sounds).
Note Limit High
RTR
(Retrigger
Rule)
These settings determine whether notes stop sounding or not and how they change pitch in
response to chord changes.
Stop
The notes stop sounding.
Pitch Shift
The pitch of the note will bend without a new attack to match the type of
the new chord.
Pitch Shift to Root
The pitch of the note will bend without a new attack to match the root of
the new chord.
Retrigger
The note is retriggered with a new attack at a new pitch corresponding to
the next chord.
Retrigger to Root
The note is retriggered with a new attack at the root note of the next
chord. However, the octave of the new note remains the same.

The Owner’s Manual covers how to create an original Song by recording your keyboard performance (see instructions of
Realtime Recording). This Reference Manual shows how to create an original Song by entering notes one by one
(instructions of the Step Recording) and how to improve the already created Song by editing the detailed parameters.
Realtime Recording and Step Recording
When creating a Song, these two Recording methods are available. With Realtime Recording, this instrument records the
performance data as it is played. With Step Recording, you can compose your performance by “writing” it down one event
at a time. For instructions about the Realtime Recording, refer to the Owner’s Manual. As the method of re-recording a
specific part of a Song in realtime, you can use the Punch In/Out (page 81).
This chapter covers mainly the instructions of Step Recording.
MIDI Song Data Structure
A MIDI Song consists of 16 MIDI channels. You can create data of a MIDI Song by recording your performance to a
specific channel or channels in realtime, or by executing the Step Recording.

Quantize
The Quantize function allows you to align the timing of all the notes in a channel. For example, if
you record the musical phrase shown below, you may not play it with absolute precision, and your
performance may have been slightly ahead of or behind the precise timing. Quantize is a convenient
way of correcting for this.
Size
Selects the quantize size (resolution). For optimum results, you should set the
Quantize size to the shortest note value in the channel. For example, if eighth notes
are the shortest in the channel, you should use eighth note as the Quantize size.
Settings:
The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally
convenient, since they allow you to quantize two different note values at the same
time. For example, when the straight eighth notes and eighth notes triplet are
contained in the same channel, if you quantize by the straight eighth notes, all
notes in the channel are quantized to straight eighth notes — completely
eliminating any triplet feel. However, if you use the eighth note + eighth note
triplet setting, both the straight and triplet notes will be quantized correctly.

information for the selected Voice can be called up by touching (Information).
Voice Characteristics
Natural!
These rich and luscious Voices are comprised mostly of keyboard instrument sounds
and are especially intended for playing piano and other keyboard parts. They also take
full advantage of Yamaha’s advanced sampling technology such as Stereo Sampling,
Sustain Sampling, and Key-off Sampling.
S.Articulation!
S.Articulation2!
(only for CVP-609)
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 (S.Articulation!) Voices and
Super Articulation 2 (S.Articulation2!) Voices — enable you to create these subtle
musical expressions, simply by how you play.
Live!
These acoustic instrument sounds were sampled in stereo, to produce a truly
authentic, rich sound — full of atmosphere and ambience.
Cool!
These Voices capture the dynamic textures and subtle nuances of electric instruments
— thanks to a huge amount of memory and sophisticated programming.
Sweet!
These acoustic instrument sounds also benefit from Yamaha’s sophisticated
technology — and feature a finely detailed and natural sound.
Drums
Various drum and percussion sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play
the sounds from the keyboard. For information about what sound is assigned to each
key, refer to the separate “Data List” (Drum/key Assignment List).
Live!Drums
(only for CVP-609)
These are high-quality drum sounds taking full advantage of Stereo Sampled sounds
from acoustic instruments.
SFX
Various special effect sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the
sounds from the keyboard. For information about what sound is assigned to each key,
refer to the separate “Data List” (Drum/key Assignment List).
Live!SFX
(only for CVP-609)
These are high-quality percussion or SFX sounds taking full advantage of Stereo
Sampled sounds from acoustic instruments. They give you a broader and more
versatile range of sounds than the normal Drum of SFX Voices.
Organ Flutes!
This authentic organ Voice lets you adjust the various footages and craft your own
original organ sounds. See page 45 for details.
Voice Settings
CVP-609/605 Reference Manual

MegaVoice
These Voices make special use of velocity switching. Normal Voices use velocity
switching, too — to change the sound quality and/or level of a Voice according to how
strongly or softly you play it. This makes the Voice sound authentic and natural. With
MegaVoices, however, 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.
Actual sound maps for the MegaVoices are given in the separate Data List booklet.
NOTE MegaVoices are not compatible with other models. Any Song or Style data you’ve
created on this instrument using the MegaVoices will not sound properly when played
back on other instruments which do not feature the same MegaVoices.
NOTE MegaVoices will sound differently depending on the keyboard range, velocity, touch,
etc. Hence, if you apply the Keyboard Harmony effect, change the transpose setting or
change the Voice Set parameters, unexpected or undesired sounds may result.
Regular
Other Voices including GM Voices and XG Voices.
Converting the Voices of a MIDI Song to MegaVoices (MEGAEnhancer)
MEGAEnhancer is a software program that converts XG/GM song data (Standard MIDI File) to Song data specially
enhanced to be played back using an instrument or tone generator containing MegaVoices. With the use of the
sophisticated MegaVoices, MEGAEnhancer automatically makes conventional Song files — with guitar and bass
parts — sound much more realistic and authentic. MEGAEnhancer can be downloaded from the following website.

Stop ACMP
When the [ACMP ON/OFF] button is on, [SYNC START] is off, and this parameter is
set to the value other than “Disabled,” you can play chords in the chord section of the
keyboard with the Style stopped, and still hear the accompaniment chord. In this
condition — called “Stop Accompaniment” — any valid chord fingerings are
recognized and the chord root/type are shown in the Style area of the Home display.
Here, you can determine whether the chord played in the chord section will sound or
not in the Stop Accompaniment status.
•Disabled:
Disables the Stop Accompaniment feature. When Style playback is stopped,
any pressed notes in the chord section of the keyboard will not be recognized as chords.
•Off: The chord played in the chord section will not sound.
•Style: The chord played in the chord section will sound via the Voices for the Pad part
and the Bass channel of the selected Style.
•Fixed: The chord played in the chord section will sound via the specified Voice,
regardless of the selected Style.
NOTE When the selected Style contains MegaVoices, unexpected sounds may result when this
is set to “Style.”
NOTE If you record a Song using the Stop Accompaniment, both the Voice that is sounded and
the chord data will be recorded when set to “Style,” and only the chord data will be
recorded when set to “Off” or “Fixed.”
NOTE When this is set to “Disabled,” chords are not recognized while the Style is stopped. This
is why both Vocal Harmony (with the Chordal mode) and Keyboard Harmony are not
applied even if you play a chord in the chord section of the keyboard while the Style is
stopped.

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

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

The explanations here apply when you call up “System” display in step 2 on page 88.
Master KBD
(Master Keyboard)
In this setting, the instrument functions as a “master” keyboard, playing and controlling
one or more connected tone generators or other devices (such as a computer/sequencer).
Song
With this setting, only the Song channels 1 – 16 are transmitted from this instrument via
the corresponding channel numbers 1 – 16 respectively. This is used to play Song data
with an external tone generator and to record Song data to an external sequencer.
Clock Ext
(Clock External)
Playback or recording (Song, Style, etc.) synchronizes with an external MIDI clock instead
of the instrument’s internal clock. This template should be used when you wish to set the
tempo on the MIDI device connected to the instrument.
MIDI Accord1
(MIDI Accordion 1)
MIDI accordions allow you to transmit MIDI data and play connected tone generators
from the keyboard and bass/chord buttons of the accordion. This template lets you
control the keyboard performance and Style playback from the MIDI Accordion.
MIDI Accord2
(MIDI Accordion 2)
Basically the same as “MIDI Accord1” above, with the exception that the chord/bass notes
you play with your left hand on the MIDI Accordion are recognized also as MIDI note
events.
MIDI Pedal1
MIDI pedal units allow you play connected tone generators with your feet (especially
convenient for playing single note bass parts). This template lets you play/control the
chord root in Style playback with a MIDI pedal unit.
MIDI Pedal2
This template lets you play the bass part for Style playback by using a MIDI pedal unit.
MIDI OFF
No MIDI signals are sent or received.
System – MIDI System Related Settings –
Clock
Determines whether the instrument is controlled by its own internal clock (“Internal”) or
a MIDI clock (“MIDI,” “USB1,” “USB2,” and “Wireless LAN”) received from an external
device. “Internal” is the normal Clock setting when the instrument is being used alone or
as a master keyboard to control external devices. If you are using the instrument with an
external sequencer, MIDI computer, or other MIDI device, and you want to synchronize it
to that device, set this parameter to the appropriate setting: “MIDI,” “USB 1,” “USB 2,” or
“Wireless LAN.” In this case, make sure that the external device is connected properly
(e.g., to the instrument’s MIDI IN terminal), and that it is properly transmitting a MIDI
clock signal. When this is set for control by an external device (“MIDI,” “USB1,” “USB2,”
or “Wireless LAN”), the Tempo is indicated as “Ext.” in the Tempo display.
NOTE If the Clock is set other than “Internal,” the Style, Song, Metronome and Tempo cannot be
controlled by the buttons on this instrument.
NOTE “Wireless LAN” is shown only when the USB Wireless LAN adaptor is connected to this
instrument.
Transmit Clock
Turns MIDI clock (F8) transmission on or off. When set to “Off,” no MIDI clock or Start/
Stop data is transmitted even if a Song or Style is played back.
Transpose MIDI
Input
Determines whether or not the instrument’s transpose setting is applied to the note events
received from the external device via MIDI.
Start/Stop
Determines whether incoming FA (start) and FC (stop) messages affect Song or Style
playback.
MIDI Settings
CVP-609/605 Reference Manual

The explanations here apply when you call up “Transmit” display in step 2 on page 88. This determines which MIDI
channel is used for each part when the MIDI data is transmitted from this instrument.
1 For each Part, select the MIDI Transmit Channel with which the MIDI data of the
corresponding Part is to be transmitted.
With the exception of the two parts below, the configuration of the parts is the same as those already explained
elsewhere in the Owner’s Manual.
•
Upper: A keyboard part played on the right side of the keyboard from the Left Split Point.
•
Lower: A keyboard part played on the left side of the keyboard from the Left Split Point. This is not affected by
the on/off status of the [ACMP ON/OFF] button.
NOTE If the same transmit channel is assigned to several different parts, the transmitted MIDI messages are merged to a single
channel — resulting in unexpected sounds and possible glitches in the connected MIDI device.
NOTE Protected Songs cannot be transmitted even if the proper Song channels 1 – 16 are set to be transmitted.
Local Control
Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When Local Control is set to “On,” the
keyboard of the instrument controls its own (local) internal tone generator, allowing the
internal Voices to be played directly from the keyboard. If you set Local to “Off,” the
keyboard and controllers are internally disconnected from the instrument’s tone
generator section so that no sound is output when you play the keyboard or use the
controllers. For example, this allows you to use an external MIDI sequencer to play the
instrument’s internal Voices, and use the instrument keyboard to record notes to the
external sequencer and/or play an external tone generator.

CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 13 Editing the Volume and Tonal Balance (Mixer) Master Compressor (only for CVP-609) Compressor is an effect commonly used to limit and compress the dynamics (softness/loudness) of an audio signal. For signals that vary widely in dynamics, such as vocals and guitar parts, it “squeezes” the dynamic range, effectively making soft sounds louder and loud sounds softer. When used with gain to boost the overall level, this creates a more powerful, more consistently high-level sound. This instrument features the Master Compressor applied to the entire sound of this instrument. Although the preset Master Compressor settings are provided, you can create and save your original Master Compressor by adjusting the related parameters. This display is available only when the “Master” tab is selected at the top of the Mixer display.

CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 19 Using Keyboard Harmony 1 1 Set the Keyboard Harmony function to “On.” When this is set to “On,” Harmony or Echo is applied to your keyboard performance automatically. 2 Adjust related parameters such as Harmony type and volume. NOTE The available parameters differ depending on the Harmony type. Type Lets you select one of the Harmony types, which are divided into the following groups. Harmony Type (Standard Duet — Strum) These types apply the harmony effect to notes played in the right-hand section of the keyboard according to the chord specified in the left-hand section of the keyboard. (Note that the “1+5” and “Octave” settings are not affected by the chord.) If you want to use these Types with the Style stopped, set the “Stop ACMP” parameter (page 76) to a setting other than “Disabled.” When [ACMP ON/OFF] is turned on: Split Point Chord section for Style playback and Harmony effect When the Left part is on: Split Point Main and Layer Voices Left Voice and chord section for Harmony effect When [ACMP ON/OFF] and the Left part are on: Style Split Point Left Split Point Main and Layer Voices Left Voice Chord section for Style playback and Harmony effect CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 20 Using Keyboard Harmony Type Multi Assign The Multi Assign effect automatically assigns notes played simultaneously on the right-hand section of the keyboard to separate parts (Voices). Both of the keyboard parts [Main] and [Layer] should be turned on when using the Multi Assign effect. The Main and Layer Voices are alternately assigned to the notes in the order you play. Echo Type (Echo, Tremolo and Trill) When one of the Echo Types is selected, the corresponding effect (echo, tremolo, trill) is applied to the note played in the right-hand section of the keyboard in time with the currently set tempo, regardless of the [ACMP ON/OFF] and the Left part on/off status. Keep in mind that Trill works when you hold down two notes on the keyboard simultaneously (last two notes if more than two notes are held), and it plays those notes alternately. Volume This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi Assign.” It determines the level of the harmony/echo notes generated by the Harmony/Echo effect. Speed This parameter is only available when Echo, Tremolo, or Trill is selected in Type above. It determines the speed of the Echo, Tremolo, and Trill effects. Assign This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi Assign.” This lets you determine the keyboard part via which the harmony/echo notes will be sounded. • Auto: Applies the effect to the part which is turned on. When the both parts are on, the Main part is given priority over the Layer part. • Multi: When both parts are on, the note played on the keyboard is sounded by Main part and the harmonies (effect) are divided to the Main and Layer parts. When only one part is on, the note played on the keyboard and effect are sounded by that part. • Main, Layer: Applies the effect to the selected part (Main or Layer). Chord Note Only This parameter is available when one of the Harmony Types is selected. When this is set to “On,” the Harmony effect is applied only to the note (played in the right-hand section of the keyboard) that belongs to a chord played in the chord section of the keyboard. Minimum Velocity This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi Assign.” It determines the lowest velocity value at which the harmony note will sound. This allows you to selectively apply the harmony by your playing strength, letting you create harmony accents in the melody. The harmony effect is applied when you play the key strongly (above the set value). CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 21 Microphone Settings This section lets you set parameters for various Effects that are applied to the microphone sound. You should make both “Vocal” and “Talk” settings — “Vocal,” for your singing performance, and “Talk,” for making announcements between songs, for example. When “Vocal” is selected: When “Talk” is selected: 1 1 4 2 4 2 6 3 3 5 1 6 Microphone On/Off 7 Only for CVP-609 5 8 Turns on or off the microphone sound. When set to On, the microphone sound will be input to the instrument NOTE The setting here is equivalent to that in the Vocal Harmony display (page 24). 2 Vocal/Talk Switching When you sing into the microphone for your performance, set this to “Vocal.” When you talk normally or need to make announcements between songs of your performance, set this to “Talk.” This lets you instantly change the microphone settings depending on the situation. NOTE The setting here is equivalent to that in the Vocal Harmony display (page 24). Volume Adjustment Adjusts the input volume of the microphone sound. The input level is shown at the right. 4 3 Band EQ EQ (Equalizer) is a processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple bands which can be boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall frequency response. The instrument features a three-band (Low, Mid and High) digital equalizer function for the microphone sound. For each of three bands, you can adjust the center frequency (Hz) and level (dB) via the corresponding knobs on the display. 5 Noise Gate This effect mutes the input signal when the input from the microphone falls below a specified level. This effectively cuts off extraneous noise, allowing the desired signal (vocal, etc.) to pass. 3 6 Compressor NOTE The setting here is equivalent to that in the Vocal Harmony display (page 24). On/Off Turns Noise Gate on or off. Th. (Threshold) Adjusts the input level above which the gate begins to open. This effect holds down the output when the input signal from the microphone exceeds a specified level. This is especially useful for smoothing out vocals that have widely varying dynamics. It effectively “compresses” the signal, making loud parts softer. On/Off Turns Compressor on or off. Th. (Threshold) Adjusts the input level above which compression begins to be applied. Ratio Adjusts the compression ratio. Higher ratios result in a more compressed sound, with a reduced dynamic range. Output Adjusts the final output level. CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 22 Microphone Settings 7 Pitch Detect (Only when “Vocal” is selected) Lets you set how the pitch of the microphone sound during performance is detected. Vocal Type Set this to obtain the most natural vocal harmony, depending on your voice. • Low: Setting for lower voices. This setting is also appropriate for growling and shouting. • Mid: Setting for mid-range voices. • High: Setting for higher voices. This setting is also appropriate for singing close to the microphone. • Full: Setting for vocalists having a wide range, from low to high. Speed Adjusts the response speed of the Vocal Harmony effect, or how quickly harmonies are generated in response to your voice. The larger the number, the faster the response. (only for CVP609) NOTE When one or both of LEAD PITCH DETECT SPEED and HARM. PITCH DETECT SPEED of Vocal Harmony (page 27) are set to “as MIC SETTING,” this parameter is effective. In other settings, the setting of the Vocal Harmony’s Pitch Detect Speed is effective. Background Noise Cut 8 Talk Mixing (Only when “Talk” is selected) This allows you to filter out noises that would interfere with the pitch detection. A setting of “Thru” turns the noise filter off. Lets you make settings for talking or making announcements between songs during a performance. Pan Determines the stereo pan position of the microphone sound. Reverb Depth Determines the depth of the reverb effects applied to the microphone sound. Chorus Depth Determines the depth of the chorus effects applied to the microphone sound. Attenuator Determines the amount of reduction to be applied to the overall sound (excepting the microphone input) — allowing you to effectively adjust the balance between your voice and the overall instrument sound. NOTICE The settings here are lost if you turn off the power without executing the Save operation. Storing the Microphone Settings You can store the microphone settings together with the Vocal Harmony settings by touching (Save) then selecting one of 10 User Memories. For ease in future recall, you should assign a sufficiently descriptive name or one that matches your performance. To call up the microphone settings, touch the setting name at left of (Save) then select the desired file.

To do this, on the display called up via [Menu] [Utility] [Factory Reset/Backup] page 2/2, touch [Backup] of “User Effect” to execute the Save operation (page 97). CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 23 Vocal Harmony Settings This section allows you to set various Vocal Harmony parameters, even though just selecting a Vocal Harmony Type will call up the appropriate settings and you need not edit these parameters normally. If you want to make more detailed settings for your performance, read this chapter. Basic Parameters The structure of the Vocal Harmony function differs between the CVP-609 and CVP-605. The explanation here applies to both models. For information on other settings, refer to page 25 for the CVP-609 and refer to page 28 for the CVP-605. Vocal Harmony name 1 2 3 1 Microphone On/ Off Turns the microphone sound on or off. When this is set to On, the microphone sound is input to the instrument. 2 Vocal/Talk Switching When you sing into the microphone, this should be set to “Vocal.” When you talk normally or make announcements between songs, this should be set to “Talk.” If you want to set the Vocal Harmony parameters, this should be set to “Vocal.” 3 Volume Adjustment Adjusts the input volume of the microphone sound. The input level is shown at the right. NOTE The settings here are equivalent to those in the Microphone Setting display (page 22). CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 24 Vocal Harmony Settings Editing the Vocal Harmony Type (CVP-609) By editing the parameters of the preset Vocal Harmony type, you can create your original Vocal Harmony type. 1 2 3 Touch the Vocal Harmony name to call up the Vocal Harmony Selection display. Select the desired Vocal Harmony type. Based on the settings of the selected Vocal Harmony type, edit them as desired. When the Mode (2) is set to “Chordal”: 1 3 8 When the Mode (2) is set to “Vocoder” or “Vocoder-Mono”: 2 9 5 ) ! @ 1 4 2 5 6 6 7 7 # 8 9 ) ! @ # Harmony Lets you edit the Vocal Harmony parameters. 1 Harmony On/Off Turns Vocal Harmony on or off. 2 Mode Although one of the three following Modes is automatically selected when a Vocal Harmony type is selected, you can change the Mode. Chordal The harmony notes are determined by the following three chord types: chords played in the chord section of the keyboard (with [ACMP ON/OFF] turned on), chords played in the left hand section of the keyboard (with the Left part turned on), and chords contained in Song data for controlling the harmony. (Not available if the Song does not contain any chord data.) NOTE If you want to apply the Vocal Harmony by pressing the chords in the chord section when the Style is stopped, you need to set the “Stop ACMP” parameter to a setting other than “Disabled” in the Style Setting display (page 76). CVP-609/605 Reference Manual Vocoder The microphone sound is output via the notes you play on the keyboard or via the Song playback notes. Vocoder-Mono Basically the same as the Vocoder. In this mode, only single-note melodies or lines can be played back (with last-note priority). 25 Vocal Harmony Settings 3 (When the Mode is set to “Chordal”) Chord Source Determines which data or event of a Song will be used for chord detection. • Off: Detects no chord from the Song data. • XF: Chord data defined via XF will be used. • 1 – 16: Detects a chord from notes of the MIDI channel specified here. Type Determines how the harmony notes are applied to the microphone sound by selecting one of the Chordal Types. Almost all Types apply the harmony notes based on the chord specified via the left hand section of the keyboard, chord section of the keyboard, or the Song data, with the exception of the following two Types. • ScaleDiatonic: This generates harmony notes based on the Key Root and Key Type specified in the Harmony Assign display (7), meaning that the harmony notes do not depend on the chord but match the diatonic scale of the current song’s key signature. • Parallel: This adds a note to the lead note (microphone sound) with the interval specified at 6, regardless of the chord. NOTE “Abv” in the Chordal Type List means that the harmony notes are generated above the lead note (microphone sound) while “Blw” means that the harmony notes are generated below the lead note. 4 (When the Mode is set to “Vocoder” or “Vocoder -Mono”) Song Ch When set to one of 1 – 16, note data (played from a Song on this instrument or the connected computer) of the corresponding channel is used to control the harmony. When set to “Off,” Song data control over harmony is turned off. Part When set to “Mute,” the channel selected above (to control Harmony) is muted (turned off) during Song playback. Keyboard • Off: Keyboard control over harmony is turned off. • Upper: Notes played to the right of the Split Point control the harmony. • Lower: Notes played to the left of the Split Point control the harmony. 5 Balance Lets you set the balance between the lead vocal (the microphone sound) and Vocal Harmony sound. Raising this value increases the volume of the Vocal Harmony and decreases that of the lead vocal. When this is set to L<H63 (L: Lead Vocal, H: Vocal Harmony), only the Vocal Harmony is output; when it is set to L63>H, only the lead vocal is output. 6 The following parameters can be adjusted for each Lead note (microphone sound) and Balance Harmony note. adjustment for each Lead • Transpose/Degree: Lets you shift the pitch for each Harmony note and Lead note. The range for all notes is the same; however, the lead note can only be adjusted in octaves. note and When the Chordal Type is set to “ScaleDiatonic,” this parameter changes to Degree, letting Harmony you shift the pitch in degree from -3 octaves (-22 scale degrees) – Unison (1 scale degree) – note +3 octaves (+22 scale degrees). • Detune: Determines the fine pitch setting for each Harmony note from -50 cents to +50 cents. • Formant: Determines the formant setting for each Harmony note. The higher the value, the more “feminine” the harmony voice becomes. The lower the value, the more “masculine” the voice. • Pan: Determines the pan position setting for each Harmony note. Setting each Harmony note to a different pan position, with the Lead vocal at center, for example, results in a naturally wide stereo sound. • Volume: Determines the volume setting for each Harmony note. Use this to adjust the relative level balance among the Lead vocal and the Harmony notes. NOTE When PITCH CORRECT MODE (7) is set to OFF the Lead part is not available for the Transpose, Degree, Detune and Formant parameters. NOTE The Transpose values of the Harmonies are available only when the Mode (2) is set to “Chordal.” CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 26 Vocal Harmony Settings Harmony Assign 7 Lets you set how the Harmony notes are assigned or voiced to the Lead note (microphone sound). For details, refer to the “MIDI Reference” (Vocal Harmony Parameter List) on the website. When the Harmony mode is set to “Chordal” • Session Table: Determines how the harmonies will be voiced, or what type of chord will be used in creating the harmonies, according to different musical styles. NOTE This parameter is available only when the Chordal Type is set to something other than ScaleDiatonic or Parallel. • Key Root, Key Type: When the Chordal Type (3) is set to “ScaleDiatonic,” this parameter is available. Harmony notes based on the settings here do not depend on the chord but match the diatonic scale of the current song’s key signature. When the Harmony mode is set to “Vocoder” or “Vocoder-Mono” • Transpose Mode: Determines the amount by which the harmony parts are transposed. A setting of “0” results in no transposition, while the “Auto” setting results in automatic transposition. Detail Setting • PITCH CORRECT MODE: Corrects the pitch of the Lead note (microphone sound). “Off ” does not correct while “Hard” corrects the pitch most accurately. • LEAD PITCH DETECT SPEED, HARM.PITCH DETECT SPEED: Determines how fast the pitch of the Lead note and the harmony notes are detected in response to the signal via the microphone. “1” responds most slowly, “4” is standard, “15” responds most quickly, and “as MIC SETTING” gives priority to the speed specified at the Pitch Detect “Speed” of the Microphone Setting display (page 23). • HARMONY EFFECT: Determines the Effect type applied to the Harmony notes added to the Lead note. • HARMONY STABILITY: Determines the stability degree to which the Harmony is applied to the Lead note. When set to “Stable,” this has a relatively stable sound with little harmony motion. When set to “Dynamic,” this tends to add harmony with motion according to the input sound. • LEAD VIBRATO DEPTH: This specifies the vibrato depth of the lead sound. • HARM.VIBRATO DEPTH: This specifies the vibrato depth of the harmony sound. • VIBRATO SPEED: This specifies the vibrato speed of both the lead and harmony sounds. • VIBRATO DELAY: This specifies the vibrato delay of both the lead and harmony sounds. Effect Lets you edit the parameters related to the Effects applied to the Vocal Harmony notes. 4 8 Effect On/Off Turns on or off the Effects applied to the Vocal Harmony notes. 9 Type Selects the Effect type applied to the Vocal Harmony notes. You can edit also the detailed parameters of the selected type. For information about the Effect Parameters, refer to the “MIDI Reference” (Vocal Harmony Parameter List) on the website. ) To Lead Adjusts the Effect depth applied to the Lead note. !

NOTE Some Vocal Harmony types have no Mode. When such a type is selected, the Harmony notes are applied to the microphone sound (Lead note) even if you do not play any keys and no Song is played back. Auto (Vocoder/ Chordal) When the [ACMP ON/OFF] or Left part is turned on, or a Song contain chord data is being played back, the mode is automatically set to “Chordal.” In all other cases, the mode is set to “Vocoder.” Vocoder The microphone sound is output via the notes you play on the keyboard or via the Song playback notes. Chordal The harmony notes are determined by the following three chord types: chords played in the chord section of the keyboard (with the [ACMP ON/OFF] turned on), chords played in the left hand section of the keyboard (with the Left part turned on), and chords contained in Song data for controlling the harmony. (Not available if the Song does not contain any chord data.) NOTE If you want to apply the Vocal Harmony by pressing the chords in the chord section when the Style is stopped, you need to set the “Stop ACMP” parameter to a setting other than “Disabled” in the Style Setting display (page 76). 3 Vocal Range Set this to obtain the most natural vocal harmony, depending on your voice. • Normal: Normal setting. • Low: Setting for lower voice. This setting is also appropriate for growling and shouting. • High: Setting for higher voice. This setting is also appropriate for singing close to the microphone. 4 Song Ch When set to one of 1 – 16, note data (played from a Song on this instrument or the connected computer) of the corresponding channel is used to control the harmony. When set to “Off,” Song data control over harmony is turned off. CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 28 Vocal Harmony Settings Balance 6 (When the Mode is set to “Chordal”) Chord Source 7 4 Lets you set the balance between the lead vocal (the microphone sound) and Vocal Harmony sound. Raising this value increases the volume of the Vocal Harmony and decreases that of the lead vocal. When this is set to L<H63 (L: Lead Vocal, H: Vocal Harmony), only the Vocal Harmony is output; when it is set to L63>H, only the lead vocal is output. 5 Determines which data or event of a Song will be used for chord detection. • Off: Detects no chord from the Song data. • XF: Chord data defined via XF will be used. • 1 – 16: Detects a chord from notes of the MIDI channel specified here.

Keyboard • Off: Keyboard control over harmony is turned off. • Upper: Notes played to the right of the Split Point control the harmony. • Lower: Notes played to the left of the Split Point control the harmony. Set the parameters which determine how the Harmony notes are applied. Balance Adjustment for each Lead note and Harmony note You can make independent settings for the Lead note (microphone sound) and the Harmony notes. • Detune: Determines the fine pitch setting for each Harmony note from -50 cents to +50 cents. • Pan: Determines the pan position setting for each Harmony note. Setting each Harmony note to a different pan position, with the Lead vocal at center, for example, results in a naturally wide stereo sound. • Volume: Determines the volume setting for each Harmony note. Use this to adjust the relative level balance among the Lead vocal and the Harmony notes. Detail Setting The available parameters differ depending on the Vocal Harmony type. VOCODER TYPE Determines how the harmony notes are applied to the microphone sound when the Harmony Mode (page 25) is set to “Vocoder.” CHORDAL TYPE Determines how the harmony notes are applied to the microphone sound when the Harmony Mode (page 25) is set to “Chordal.” CHROMATIC TYPE Determines how the harmony notes are applied to the microphone sound when “SpdyMouse,” “SingBass,” or “ChromatXG” is selected as the Vocal Harmony type. DETUNE TYPE Determines how the harmony notes are applied to the microphone sound when “DetuneXG” is selected as the Vocal Harmony type. HARM GENDER TYPE Determines whether the gender of the harmony sound is changed or not. • Off: The gender of the harmony sound is not changed. • Auto: The gender of the harmony sound is changed automatically. LEAD GENDER TYPE Determines whether and how the gender of the lead vocal sound (i.e., the direct microphone sound) will be changed. Please note that the number of harmony notes differs depending on the selected type. When set to “Off,” three harmony notes are produced. Other settings produce two harmony notes. • Off: No gender change occurs. • Unis: No gender change occurs. You can adjust the LEAD GENDER DEPTH described below. • Male: The gender change (to male) is applied to the lead vocal. • Fem.: The gender change (to female) is applied to the lead vocal. CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 29 Vocal Harmony Settings 5 LEAD GENDER DEPTH Adjusts the degree of lead vocal gender change. This is available when LEAD GENDER TYPE (above) is set to something other than “Off.” The higher the value, the more “feminine” the harmony voice becomes. The lower the value, the more “masculine” the voice. LEAD PITCH CORRECT This parameter is only effective when LEAD GENDER TYPE (above) is set to something other than “Off.” When “Smooth” or “Hard” is selected here, the pitch of the lead vocal is shifted in precise semitone steps. UPPER GNDR THRESH Gender change occurs when the harmony pitch reaches or exceeds the specified number of semitones above the lead vocal pitch. LOWER GNDR THRESH Gender change occurs when the harmony pitch reaches or exceeds the specified number of semitones below the lead vocal pitch. UPPER GNDR DEPTH Adjusts the degree of gender change applied to harmony notes higher than UPPER GNDR THRESH (above). The higher the value, the more “feminine” the harmony voice becomes. The lower the value, the more “masculine” the voice. LOWER GNDR DEPTH Adjusts the degree of gender change applied to harmony notes lower than LOWER GNDR THRESH (above). The higher the value, the more “feminine” the harmony voice becomes. The lower the value, the more “masculine” the voice. VIBRATO DEPTH Sets the depth of vibrato applied to the harmony sound. This also affects the lead vocal sound when LEAD GENDER TYPE (above) is set to something other than “Off.” VIBRATO RATE Sets the speed of the vibrato effect. This also affects the lead vocal sound when LEAD GENDER TYPE (above) is set to something other than “Off.” VIBRATO DELAY Specifies the length of the delay before the vibrato effect begins when a note is produced. Higher values result in a longer delay. On the displays in step 4, touch type.

Depending on the Footswitch or Foot Controller, it may work in the opposite way (i.e., pressing it has no effect, but releasing it does). If such a case occurs, use this setting to reverse the polarity. 4 If you change the functions of the Center and Left pedals from the default settings, turn “Depend On Main Voice(Center & Left)” on or off as desired. When this is set to off, the function assignments of the Center and Left pedals are maintained even if the Main Voice is changed (page 44). CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 37 Assigning a Specific Function to Each Pedal or ASSIGNABLE button Assignable Pedal Functions For functions indicated with “*”, use only the Foot Controller; proper operation cannot be done with a Footswitch. For functions indicated with “**”, they can be assigned also to the ASSIGNABLE [1] – [4] buttons. Articulation 1/2** When you use a Super Articulation Voice that has an effect assigned to the pedal/ footswitch, you can enable the effect by pressing the pedal/footswitch. Volume* Controls the volume. This function is available only for the foot controller connected to the instrument’s [AUX PEDAL] jack. Sustain Controls the sustain. When you press and hold the pedal, all notes played on the keyboard have a longer sustain. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. The “Half Pedal Point” parameter allows you to specify how far down you should press on the pedal until the damper effect starts working. This can be set for all pedals on the CVP-609, as well as the right pedal and the foot controller connected to the [AUX PEDAL] jack on the CVP-605. Sostenuto Controls the Sostenuto effect. If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held. However, all subsequent notes will not sustain. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played staccato. NOTE This function will not affect any of the Organ Flutes and only some of the Super Articulation Voices. Soft Controls the Soft effect. Pressing this pedal reduces the volume and changes the timbre of the notes you play. This is effective only for certain appropriate Voices. The “Half Pedal Point” parameter allows you to specify how far down you should press on the pedal until the soft effect starts working. This can be set for all pedals on the CVP-609, as well as the right pedal and the foot controller connected to the [AUX PEDAL] jack on the CVP-605. Glide When the pedal is pressed, the pitch changes, and then returns to normal pitch when the pedal is released. • Up/Down: Determines whether the pitch change goes up (is raised) or down (is lowered). • Range: Determines the range of the pitch change, in semitones. • On Speed: Determines the speed of the pitch change when the pedal is pressed. • Off Speed: Determines the speed of the pitch change when the pedal is released. Portamento The portamento effect (a smooth slide between notes) can be produced while the pedal is pressed. Portamento is produced when notes are played legato style (i.e., a note is played while the preceding note is still held). The portamento time can also be adjusted form the Voice Edit display (page 42). This function does not affect certain Natural Voices, which would not sound appropriately with this function. NOTE This function will not affect any of the Organ Flutes, Super Articulation 2 Voices and only some of the Super Articulation Voices. Pitch Bend* Allows you to bend the pitch of notes up or down by using the pedal. This function can be assigned to all pedals on the CVP-609, as well as the right pedal and the foot controller connected to the [AUX PEDAL] jack on the CVP-605. • Up/Down: Determines whether the pitch change goes up (is raised) or down (is lowered). • Range: Determines the range of the pitch change, in semitones. Modulation* Applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. Moreover, various effects can be added to the Super Articulation Voice. The effect becomes deeper when pressing down the foot controller. Modulation (Alt) Unlike the Modulation above, pressing the pedal or footswitch alternates the on/off status of the vibrato effect.

When the edited Voice is used as any of the Main and Layer parts, the Main/Layer parameter is available; when the edited Voice is used as the Left part, the Left parameter is available. Mono/Poly Determines whether the edited Voice is played monophonically or polyphonically. Portamento Time Sets the portamento time (pitch transition time) when the edited Voice is set to “Mono” above. NOTE The Portamento Time determines the pitch transition time. Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the keyboard to the next. CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 42 Editing a Voice (Voice Edit) Sound Filter Filter is a processor that changes the timbre or tone of a sound by either blocking or passing a specific frequency range. The parameters below determine the overall timbre of the sound by boosting or cutting a certain frequency range. In addition to making the sound either brighter or mellower, Filter can be used to produce electronic, synthesizer-like effects. Brightness Determines the cutoff frequency or effective frequency range of the filter (see diagram). Higher values result in a brighter sound. Volume Cutoff Frequency These frequencies are “passed” by the filter. Harmonic Cont. (Harmonic Content) Determines the emphasis given to the cutoff frequency (resonance), set in Brightness above (see diagram). Higher values result in a more pronounced effect. Frequency (pitch) Cutoff range Volume Resonance Frequency (pitch) EG The EG (Envelope Generator) settings determine how the level of the sound changes in time. This lets you reproduce many sound characteristics of natural acoustic instruments — such as the quick attack and decay of percussion sounds, or the long release of a sustained piano tone. Level Sustain Level Time Attack Decay Key-on Vibrato Release Key-off Attack Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum level after the key is played. The lower the value, the quicker the attack. Decay Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain level (a slightly lower level than maximum). The lower the value, the quicker the decay. Release Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after the key is released. The lower the value, the quicker the decay. Vibrato is a quavering, vibrating sound effect that is produced by regularly modulating the pitch of the Voice. Pitch Speed Depth Delay Time Modulation Depth Determines the intensity of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings result in a more pronounced Vibrato. Speed Determines the speed of the Vibrato effect. Delay Determines the amount of time that elapses between the playing of a key and the start of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings increase the delay of the Vibrato onset. When the Modulation function is assigned to a pedal (page 38), the pedal can be used to modulate the parameters below as well as the pitch (vibrato). Here, you can set the degree to which the pedal modulates each of the following parameters. Filter CVP-609/605 Reference Manual Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the Filter Cutoff Frequency. For details about the filter, refer to page 43. 43 Editing a Voice (Voice Edit) Modulation Amplitude Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the amplitude (volume). LFO Pitch Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the pitch, or the vibrato effect. LFO Filter Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the Filter Cutoff Frequency, or the wah effect. LFO Amplitude Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the amplitude, or the tremolo effect. Effect Insertion Effect On/Off Turns the Insertion Effects on or off. Type Selects the Insertion Effect Type. Select the Category then select the Type. Depth Adjusts the Insertion Effect Depth. Variation Each Insertion Effect Type features the Variation which is turned off by default. You can use this Variation by turning it on, and adjust the depth of this Variation Effect. (See below.) (Variation name) This indicates the Variation name of the Insertion Effect Type, and lets you set the Insertion Effect Depth when the Variation (above) is turned on. Vibe Rotor Available only if “VIBE VIBRATE” in the “TREMOLO” category is selected as the Insertion Effect Type explained above. Determines whether VIBE VIBRATE should be set to on or off when selecting the Voice. Reverb Depth Adjusts the Reverb Depth. Chorus Depth Adjusts the Chorus Depth. EQ Determines the Frequency and Gain of the EQ bands. For information about EQ, refer to page 10. Keyboard Harmony From this display, you can set the same parameters as those in the Keyboard Harmony display (step 2 on page 20). Before making any settings, make sure that the current part is set to Main; in other words, you should select the Main part by touching the Voice name at the top of the Voice Edit display, or by pressing the VOICE [MAIN/LAYER/LEFT] button.

CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 46 Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator) The Style Creator function lets you create your original Style by recording the rhythm pattern via the keyboard performance and using the already-recorded Style data. Basically, select a preset Style that is closest to the type you want to create, then record the rhythm pattern, bass line, chord backing, or phrase (referred to as “Source Pattern” in the Style Creator) for each channel of each Section. Like the Song, two Recording methods are available: Realtime Recording and Step Recording (page 48). Style Data Structure – Consisting of Source Patterns A Style is made up of the different Sections (Intro, Main, Ending, etc.) and each Section has eight separate channels, each of which is referred to as “Source Pattern.” With the Style Creator feature, you can create a Style by separately recording the Source Pattern for each channel, or by importing pattern data from other existing Styles. Ending 3 Ending 2 Intro Fill In Main B Main A Rhythm 1 Recording or copying from another Style Rhythm 2 Recording or copying from another Style Bass Recording or copying from another Style Chord 1 Recording or copying from another Style Chord 2 Recording or copying from another Style Pad Recording or copying from another Style Phrase 1 Recording or copying from another Style Phrase 2 Recording or copying from another Style Creating a Source Pattern for each channel separately Basic Procedure for creating a Style The detailed instructions are described on the reference page of each step. 1 2 3 Select the desired Style as starting data. Call up the Style Creator display via [Menu] → [StyleCreator]. On the “Basic” display, select a Section (page 48). As necessary, make the following settings. • If you create a Style entirely from scratch, touch [Initialize Style] to make the current Style empty. • If you initialize the Style, set the length (measure amount) of the Source Pattern. • Set the overall parameters such as Tempo and Beat. CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 47 Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator) 4 Create the Source Pattern for each channel. • Realtime Recording (page 49) Lets you record the Style by simply playing the keyboard. • Step Recording (page 52) Lets you enter each note individually. • Style Assembly (page 52) Lets you copy various patterns from another preset Styles or Styles you have already created. 5 Edit the already recorded channel data. • Channel Edit (page 53) Lets you edit the MIDI data of the already recorded channels. • SFF Edit (page 55) Lets you edit the SFF (Style File Format) related parameters of the already recorded channels other than Rhythm channels. 6 7 Repeat steps 3 – 5 as desired. Touch (Save) at the top of the display to save the created Style. Basic The explanations here apply to step 3 on page 47. This display lets you set the basic parameters such as Section selection. Initialize Style Initializes all channel data of all Sections belonging to make the current Style empty. Touch here when you want to create the Style data from scratch. Section Selects a Section for creating or editing. Pattern length Selects the length (in measures) of the current Section. After inputting the value, touch [Execute] to actually enter the changes. Tempo Sets the tempo of the Style. The setting here commonly applies to all Sections. Beat Sets the beat of the Style. The setting here commonly applies to all Sections. After inputting the value, touch [Execute] to actually enter the changes. CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 48 Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator) Realtime Recording The explanations here apply to step 4 on page 48. In the “Rec Channel” display, you can create the channel data via the Realtime Recording. Realtime Recording Characteristics in the Style Creator Loop Recording Style playback repeats the rhythm patterns of several measures in a “loop,” and Style recording is also done using loops. For example, if you start recording with a two-measure Main section, the two measures are repeatedly recorded. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition (loop), letting you record while hearing previously recorded material. Overdub Recording This method records new material to a channel already containing recorded data, without deleting the original data. In Style recording, the recorded data is not deleted, except when using functions such as “Clear Drum Inst” (page 50) “Delete” (pages 50, 51) and “Remove Event” (page 54). For example, if you start recording with a two-measure Main section, the two measures are repeated many times. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition, letting you overdub new material to the loop while hearing previously recorded material. When creating a Style based on an existing internal Style, overdub recording is applied only to the rhythm channels. For all other channels (except rhythm), you need to delete the original data before recording. 1 2 Recording Rhythm Channels 1 – 2 1 On the “Rec Channel” display, touch and hold the desired channel until it turns red. The selected channel becomes the Recording target whether the channel already contains data or not. If recorded data is already included, you should record the additional notes to the selected channel as Overdub Recording. 2 If necessary, select a Voice then practice the rhythm pattern to be recorded. Touch the instrument icon (illustration) to call up the Voice Selection display then select the desired Voice such as Drum Kit. After selecting, touch [Close] to return to the original display. With the selected Voice, practice the rhythm pattern to be recorded. Available Voices for recording For the Rhythm1 channel, any except Organ Flutes Voices can be used for recording. For the Rhythm2 channel, only Drum/SFX kits can be used for recording. CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 49 Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator) 3 Press the STYLE CONTROL [R/J](START/STOP) button to start recording. Since already recorded data plays back, turn each channel on or off by touching as desired. If necessary, delete a channel by touching [Delete] located under the desired channel. 4 As soon as loop playback returns to the first beat in the first measure, start playing the rhythm pattern to be recorded. If you feel difficult to play, it is a good idea to play as follows, for example. Loop 1st round Bass Drum Loop 2nd round Snare Drum Bass Drum Loop 3rd round Hi-Hat Snare Drum Bass Drum If you make a mistake or play any wrong notes: You can delete notes of a specific drum instrument. Touch [Clear Drum Inst] to call up a message, then press the corresponding key on the keyboard while the message is shown. After deleting the desired drum instrument, touch [Exit] to close the message. 5 Press the STYLE CONTROL [R/J](START/STOP) button to stop playback. If you want to add more notes, press the [R/J] (START/STOP) button again to continue recording. 6 Touch and hold the Recording channel for a while (until the button changes color) to exit from the Recording mode. Recording Bass, Chord 1 – 2, Pad and Phrase 1 – 2 1 On the “Rec Channel” display, touch and hold the desired channel until it turns red. If the selected channel already contains data, a confirmation message appears, prompting you whether or not to delete the existing data of the selected channel. Touch [Yes] to delete data and the selected channel is specified as Record target. Note that channel data other than the Rhythm channels of the preset Style cannot be overdubbed. 2 If necessary, select a Voice then practice the bass line, chord backing, or phrase to be recorded. Touch the instrument icon (illustration) to call up the Voice Selection display then select the desired Voice. After selecting, touch [Close] to return to the original display. With the selected Voice, practice the phrase or chord backing to be recorded. CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 50 Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator) Available Voices for recording Any except for the Organ Flutes/Drum kit/SFX kit Voices can be used for recording. Record a phrase in CM7 which will play appropriate notes as change chords during performance Rules when recording a Main or Fill-in With the default initial settings, the Source Root/Chord is set to CM7. This means that you should record a Source Pattern which is to be triggered by specifying CM7 during normal performance. Record a bass line, phrase or chord backing which you want to hear when CM7 is specified. More concretely, see below. • Use only the CM7 scale tones when recording the Bass and Phrase channels (i.e., C, D, E, G, A, and B). • Use only the chord tones when recording the Chord and Pad channels (i.e., C, E, G, and B). C R C C R C C = Chord note C, R = Recommended note If you observe this rule, Style playback notes are appropriately converted depending on the chord changes you make during your performance. Rules when recording an Intro or Ending These Sections are designed assuming that the chord is not changed during playback. This is why you need not observe the rule for Main and Fill-In Sections described above, and you can make the chord progression in recording. However, follow the rule below since the Source Root/Chord is set to CM7. • When recording the Intro, make sure that the recorded phrase should lead to CM7 scale music. • When recording the Ending, make sure that CM7 scale music should lead to the recorded phrase. Setting the Source Root/Chord if necessary Although the default Source Root/Chord is set to CM7 as described above, you can change this to your favorite one which lets you play easily. Call up the “SFF Edit” display, set the Source Root and Chord to the favorite or desired Root and Chord type. Keep in mind that when you change the Source Chord from the default CM7 to another chord, the chord notes and recommended notes will also change. For details, refer to page 56. 3 Press the STYLE CONTROL [R/J](START/STOP) button to start recording. With the already recorded data playing back, turn each channel on or off by touching as desired. If necessary, delete a channel by touching [Delete] located under the desired channel. 4 As soon as loop playback returns to the first beat in the first measure, start playing the bass line, chord backing or phrase to be recorded. 5 Press the [R/J](START/STOP) button to stop playback. If you want to add more notes, press the [R/J](START/STOP) button again to continue recording. To hear the playback sound of the already recorded channels with another Source Chord/ Root: 1) 2) 3) 4) 6 Call up the “SFF Edit” display, then set the “Target Ch” at the top of the display to “Rhythm1” or “Rhythm2.” Touch [Play Root/Chord] to call up the operation display. Press the STYLE CONTROL [R/J](START/STOP) button to start playback. On the display, set the “Play Root/Chord” to the desired Chord root and Chord type. This operation lets you hear how the Source Pattern is played back via the chord change during normal performance. Touch and hold the Recording channel for a while (until the button changes color) to exit from the Recording mode. CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 51 Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator) Step Recording The explanations here apply to step 4 on page 48. In the Step Recording (Style Edit) display called up by touching (Edit) at the upper right of the display, you can record or edit notes one by one. This Step Recording procedure is essentially the same as that for Song Recording (page 60) with the exception of the points listed below: • In the Song Creator, the “End” mark position can be changed freely; in the Style Creator, it cannot be changed. This is because the length of the Style is fixed for all channels as you set in the “Basic” display (page 48). For example, if you create a Style of four measures length, the “End” mark position is automatically set to the end of fourth measure, and cannot be changed in the Style Edit display. • Recording channels can be changed in the Song Creator’s Edit display; however, they cannot be changed in the Style Creator. Select the Recording channel in the “Rec channel” display. • In the Style Creator, Chord, Lyrics, and System Exclusive data cannot be entered. The Channel data can be entered and System Exclusive data can be edited (delete, copy or move). Assembly — Assigning the Source Pattern to Each Channel The explanations here apply to step 4 on page 48. The “Assembly” display shows that each channel data of the current Section has been copied from which Style, which Section, and which channel. For each channel, touch the Style name, Section name, or Channel name as necessary to select the desired one. CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 52 Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator) Channel Edit The explanations here apply to step 5 on page 48. The “Channel Edit” display lets you edit the already recorded channel data. Select the Target channel then edit the desired parameters. After editing the desired parameter, touch [Execute] to actually enter the edits for each setup window. When execution is completed, this button changes to [Undo], letting you restore the original data if you are not satisfied with the results. The Undo function only has one level; only the previous operation can be undone. Target Ch Select the target channel to be edited. All items with the exception of the “Groove” are to be applied to the channel specified here. Groove This lets you add swing to the music or change the “feel” of the beat by making subtle shifts in the timing (clock) of the Style. The Groove settings are applied to all channels of the selected Section. Original Beat Specifies the beats to which Groove timing is to be applied. In other words, if “8 Beat” is selected, Groove timing is applied to the 8th notes; if “12 Beat” is selected, Groove timing is applied to 8th-note triplets. Beat Converter Actually changes the timing of the beats (specified in the “Original Beat” parameter above) to the selected value. For example, when Original Beat is set to “8 Beat” and Beat Converter is set to “12,” all 8th notes in the section are shifted to 8th-note triplet timing. The “16A” and “16B” Beat Converter which appear when Original Beat is set to “12 Beat” are variations on a basic 16thnote setting. Swing Produces a “swing” feel by shifting the timing of the back beats, depending on the “Original Beat” parameter above. For example, if the specified Original Beat value is “8 Beat”, the Swing parameter will selectively delay the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th beats of each measure to create a swing feel. The settings “A” through “E” produce different degrees of swing, with “A” being the most subtle and “E” being the most pronounced. Fine Selects a variety of Groove “templates” to be applied to the selected section. The “Push” settings cause certain beats to be played early, while “Heavy” settings delay the timing of certain beats. The numbered settings (2, 3, 4, 5) determine which beats are to be affected. All beats up to the specified beat — but not including the first beat — will be played early or delayed (for example, the 2nd and 3rd beats, if “3” is selected). In all cases, “A” types produce minimum effect, “B” types produce medium effect, and “C” types produce maximum effect. CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 53 Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator) Dynamics Quantize This changes the velocity/volume (or accent) of certain notes in the Style playback. The Dynamics settings are applied to each channel or all channels of the selected Style. Accent Type Determines the type of accent applied — in other words, which notes are emphasized. Strength Determines how strongly the selected Accent Type (above) will be applied. The higher the value, the stronger the effect. Expand/ Compress Expands or compresses the range of velocity values. Values higher than 100% expand the dynamic range, while values lower than 100% compress it. Boost/Cut Boosts or cuts all velocity values. Values above 100% boost the overall velocity, while values below 100% reduce it. Apply To All Channels When set to “On,” the settings in this display will be applied to all the channels of the current Section. When set to “Off,” the settings in this display will be applied to the channel specified at the “Target Ch” in the Channel Edit display. Same as in the Song Creator (page 69), with the exception of the two additional available parameters below. Eighth notes with swing Sixteenth notes with swing Velocity Boosts or cuts the velocity of all notes in the specified channel, according to the percentage specified here. Bar Copy This function allows data to be copied from one measure or group of measures to another location within the specified channel. Source Top Source Last Destination Specifies the first (Source Top) and last (Source Last) measures in the region to be copied. Specifies the first measure of the destination location, to which the data is to be copied. Bar Clear This function clears all data from the specified range of measures within the selected channel. Remove Event This function lets you remove specific events from the selected channel. CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 54 Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator) SFF Edit — Making Style File Format Settings The explanations here apply to step 5 on page 48. The Style File Format (SFF) combines all of Yamaha’s Style playback know-how into a single unified format. Setting the SFF related parameters determines how the original notes are converted to the actual sounded notes based on the chord you specify in the Chord area of the keyboard.

CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 55 Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator) Target Ch Select the target channel to be edited. Source Root/ Chord (Play Root/ Chord) These settings determine the original key of the Source Pattern (i.e., the key used when recording the pattern to the channel other than the Rhythm channels). If you set “Fm7” here, specifying “Fm7” in the Chord section of the keyboard will play back the originally recorded data (Source Pattern). The default setting is “CM7” (Source Root = C and Source Chord = M7). Depending on the selected chord type specified here, the playable notes (scale notes and chord notes) differ. When “Initialize Style” is executed in the “Basic” display, the default setting of CM7 is automatically selected.

If you change the settings after recording, the recorded Source Pattern cannot be converted to the appropriate notes when changing the chord during your keyboard performance. NOTE When the parameters for the selected Target Ch are set to NTR: Root Fixed, NTT Type: Bypass, or NTT Bass: Off, the parameters here are changed to “Play Root” and “Play Chord,” respectively. In this case, you can change chords and hear the resulting sound for all channels. NOTE The settings here are not applied when NTR is set to “Guitar.” NTR/NTT (Note Transposition Rule/Note Transposition Table) The parameters here determine how the notes in the Source Pattern are converted according to the chord changes during your keyboard performance. NTR Selects the Note Transposition Rule which determines how the notes in the Source Pattern are transposed according to the Chord Root change. Root Trans When the root note is transposed, the interval between notes is maintained. For example, the notes C3, E3 and G3 in the key of C become F3, A3 and C4 when they are transposed to F. Use this setting for channels that contain melody lines. When playing a C major chord. Root Fixed The note is kept as close as possible to the previous note range. For example, the notes C3, E3 and G3 in the key of C become C3, F3 and A3 when they are transposed to F. Use this setting for channels that contain chord parts. When playing a C major chord. Guitar CVP-609/605 Reference Manual When playing an F major chord. When playing an F major chord. This is exclusively for transposing guitar accompaniment. Notes are transposed to approximate the chords played with natural guitar fingering. 56 Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator) NTR/NTT (Note Transposition Rule/Note Transposition Table) NTT Type Selects the Note Transposition Table which determines how the notes in the Source Pattern are transposed according to the Chord Type change. When NTR is set to “Root Trans” or “Root Fixed”: Bypass When NTR is set to Root Fixed, the transposition table used does not do any note conversion. When NTR is set to Root Trans, the table used only converts the notes by maintaining the pitch relationship between notes. Melody Suitable for melody line transposition. Use this for melody channels such as “Phrase1” and “Phrase2.” Chord Suitable for chordal parts transposition. Use this for the “Chord1” and “Chord2” channels, especially when they contain piano or guitar-like chordal parts. Melodic Minor When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third interval in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third interval is raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for melody channels of Sections which respond only to major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings. Melodic Minor 5th In addition to the Melodic Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source Pattern. Harmonic Minor When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third and sixth intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third and flatted sixth intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond only to major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings. Harmonic Minor 5th In addition to the Harmonic Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern. Natural Minor When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third, sixth and seventh intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third, flatted sixth and flatted seventh intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond only to a Major/minor chord such as Intros and Endings. Natural Minor 5th In addition to the Natural Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern. Dorian When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third and seventh intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third and flatted seventh intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond only to a Major/minor chord such as Intros and Endings. Dorian 5th In addition to the Dorian transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern. When NTR is set to “Guitar”: All Purpose This table covers both stroke- and arpeggio-played sound. Stroke CVP-609/605 Reference Manual Suitable for stroke-played sound of the guitar. Some notes may sound as if they are muted — this is normal condition when the chord is played on guitar by stroke. 57 Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator) NTR/NTT (Note Transposition Rule/Note Transposition Table) NTT Type Arpeggio NTT Bass The channel for which this is set to “On” will be played back by the bass root note, when the on-bass chord is recognized by the instrument. When NTR is set to Guitar and this parameter is set to “On,” only the note which is assigned to bass will be played back by the bass root note. Suitable for arpeggio-played sound of the guitar, resulting in beautiful four-note arpeggio sounds. NTR/NTT Settings for the Rhythm Channels Since the Rhythm channels should not be affected by Chord change, make sure to make the following settings. • NTR = Root Fixed • NTT = Bypass • NTT Bass = Off With the above settings, the “Source Root” and “Source Chord” parameters are changed to “Play Root” and “Play Chord,” respectively. High Key/Note Limit Adjusts the Octave of the notes converted via the NTT and NTR. High Key This sets the highest key (upper octave limit) of the note transposition for the chord root change. Any notes calculated to be higher than the highest key are transposed down to the next lowest octave. This setting is available only when the NTR parameter (page 56) is set to “Root Trans.” Example — When the highest key is F. Note Limit Low Note Limit High Root changes CM CᅊM FM FᅊM Notes Played C3-E3-G3 Cᅊ3-F3-Gᅊ3 F3-A3-C4 Fᅊ2-Aᅊ2-Cᅊ3 These set the note range (highest and lowest notes) for Voices recorded to the Style channels. By judicious setting of this range, you can ensure that the Voices sound as realistic as possible — in other words, that no notes outside the natural range are sounded (e.g., high bass sounds or low piccolo sounds). Example — When the lowest note is C3 and the highest is D4. Root changes CM CᅊM FM Notes Played E3-G3-C4 F3-Gᅊ3-Cᅊ4 F3-A3-C4 High Limit Low Limit RTR (Retrigger Rule) These settings determine whether notes stop sounding or not and how they change pitch in response to chord changes. Stop The notes stop sounding. Pitch Shift The pitch of the note will bend without a new attack to match the type of the new chord. Pitch Shift to Root The pitch of the note will bend without a new attack to match the root of the new chord. Retrigger The note is retriggered with a new attack at a new pitch corresponding to the next chord. Retrigger to Root The note is retriggered with a new attack at the root note of the next chord. However, the octave of the new note remains the same. CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 58 Creating/Editing MIDI Songs (Song Creator) The Owner’s Manual covers how to create an original Song by recording your keyboard performance (see instructions of Realtime Recording).

CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 68 Creating/Editing MIDI Songs (Song Creator) Channel Edit — Editing Channel Data with a Single Touch The explanations here apply to step 6 on page 60. The Channel Edit display lets you correct or convert the specific portion of the Song data. After editing the desired parameter, touch [Execute] to actually enter the edits for each setup window. When execution is completed, this button changes to [Undo], letting you restore the original data if you are not satisfied with the results. The Undo function only has one level; only the previous operation can be undone. Target Ch Select the target channel to be edited. Quantize The Quantize function allows you to align the timing of all the notes in a channel. For example, if you record the musical phrase shown below, you may not play it with absolute precision, and your performance may have been slightly ahead of or behind the precise timing. Quantize is a convenient way of correcting for this. Size Selects the quantize size (resolution). For optimum results, you should set the Quantize size to the shortest note value in the channel. For example, if eighth notes are the shortest in the channel, you should use eighth note as the Quantize size. After 1/8 note quantization Settings: 1/4 note 1/8 note 1/16 note 1/32 note 1/16 note+ 1/8 note triplet* 1/4 note triplet 1/8 note triplet 1/16 note triplet 1/8 note+ 1/8 note triplet* 1/16 note+ 1/16 note triplet* The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally convenient, since they allow you to quantize two different note values at the same time. For example, when the straight eighth notes and eighth notes triplet are contained in the same channel, if you quantize by the straight eighth notes, all notes in the channel are quantized to straight eighth notes — completely eliminating any triplet feel. However, if you use the eighth note + eighth note triplet setting, both the straight and triplet notes will be quantized correctly. CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 69 Creating/Editing MIDI Songs (Song Creator) Quantize Strength Determines how strongly the notes will be quantized. A setting of 100% produces exact timing. If a value less than 100% is selected, notes will be moved toward the specified quantization beats according to the specified percentage. Applying less than 100% quantization lets you preserve some of the “human” feel in the recording. Quarter-note length Original data (assuming 4/4 meter) Quantizing strength = 100% Quantizing strength = 50% Delete You can delete the data of the specified channel in the Song. Checkmark the desired channel whose data you wish to delete by touching, then touch [Execute] to actually delete the data. Mix This function lets you mix the data of two channels and place the results in a different channel. It also lets you copy the data from one channel to another. Transpose Source 1 Ch Determines the MIDI channel (1 – 16) to be mixed. All MIDI events of the channel specified here are copied to the destination channel. Source 2 Ch Determines the MIDI channel (1 – 16) to be mixed. Only note events of the channel specified here are copied to the destination channel. Besides the values 1 – 16, there is a “Copy” setting that allows you to copy the data from Source 1 to the destination channel. Destination Ch Determines the channel into which the mix or copy results will be placed. This allows you to transpose the recorded data of individual channels up or down by a maximum of two octaves in semitone increments. 1-16 Sets the Transpose value for each channel. All - Decreases the Transpose value for all channels by 1. All + Increases the Transpose value for all channels by 1. NOTE Make sure not to transpose channels 9 and 10. In general, Drum kits are assigned to these channels. If you transpose the channels of Drum kits, the instruments assigned to each key will be changed. Setup The current settings of the Mixer display and other panel settings can be recorded to the top position of the Song as the Setup data. The Mixer and panel settings recorded here are automatically recalled when the Song starts. Checkmark the items of playback features and functions that you wish to automatically be called up along with the selected Song. NOTE Before executing the Setup operation, move the Song position to the top of the Song by pressing the SONG [STOP] button. CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 70 Voice Settings Tune Lets you adjust the pitch related parameters for each keyboard part. Tuning Determines the pitch of each keyboard part. Octave Determines the range of the pitch change in octaves, over two octaves up or down for each keyboard part. Pitch Bend Range Determines the range of the Pitch Bend for each keyboard part in semitones when the “Pitch Bend” or “Glide” function is assigned to a pedal (page 38). Portamento Time Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the keyboard to the next. The Portamento Time determines the pitch transition time. Higher values result in a longer pitch change time. Setting this to “0” results in no effect. This parameter is available for the keyboard part which is set to “Mono” (page 42). Piano Lets you set the Piano related parameters which are available only for some of the piano Voices in the “Piano” category (listed in the “Target Voice List” on page 72). Tuning Curve Determines the tuning curve.

Natural! S.Articulation! S.Articulation2! (only for CVP-609) These rich and luscious Voices are comprised mostly of keyboard instrument sounds and are especially intended for playing piano and other keyboard parts. They also take full advantage of Yamaha’s advanced sampling technology such as Stereo Sampling, Sustain Sampling, and Key-off Sampling. 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 (S.Articulation!) Voices and Super Articulation 2 (S.Articulation2!) Voices — enable you to create these subtle musical expressions, simply by how you play. Live! These acoustic instrument sounds were sampled in stereo, to produce a truly authentic, rich sound — full of atmosphere and ambience. Cool! These Voices capture the dynamic textures and subtle nuances of electric instruments — thanks to a huge amount of memory and sophisticated programming. Sweet! These acoustic instrument sounds also benefit from Yamaha’s sophisticated technology — and feature a finely detailed and natural sound. Drums Various drum and percussion sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard. For information about what sound is assigned to each key, refer to the separate “Data List” (Drum/key Assignment List). Live!Drums These are high-quality drum sounds taking full advantage of Stereo Sampled sounds from acoustic instruments. (only for CVP-609) SFX Live!SFX (only for CVP-609) Organ Flutes! CVP-609/605 Reference Manual Various special effect sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard. For information about what sound is assigned to each key, refer to the separate “Data List” (Drum/key Assignment List). These are high-quality percussion or SFX sounds taking full advantage of Stereo Sampled sounds from acoustic instruments. They give you a broader and more versatile range of sounds than the normal Drum of SFX Voices. This authentic organ Voice lets you adjust the various footages and craft your own original organ sounds. See page 45 for details. 73 Voice Settings MegaVoice These Voices make special use of velocity switching. Normal Voices use velocity switching, too — to change the sound quality and/or level of a Voice according to how strongly or softly you play it. This makes the Voice sound authentic and natural. With MegaVoices, however, 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. Actual sound maps for the MegaVoices are given in the separate Data List booklet. NOTE MegaVoices are not compatible with other models. Any Song or Style data you’ve created on this instrument using the MegaVoices will not sound properly when played back on other instruments which do not feature the same MegaVoices. NOTE MegaVoices will sound differently depending on the keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you apply the Keyboard Harmony effect, change the transpose setting or change the Voice Set parameters, unexpected or undesired sounds may result. Regular Other Voices including GM Voices and XG Voices. Converting the Voices of a MIDI Song to MegaVoices (MEGAEnhancer) MEGAEnhancer is a software program that converts XG/GM song data (Standard MIDI File) to Song data specially enhanced to be played back using an instrument or tone generator containing MegaVoices. With the use of the sophisticated MegaVoices, MEGAEnhancer automatically makes conventional Song files — with guitar and bass parts — sound much more realistic and authentic. MEGAEnhancer can be downloaded from the following website.

CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 75 Style Playback Related Settings Setting Display Tempo Turns on or off the tempo indication for each Style on the Style Selection display. Stop ACMP When the [ACMP ON/OFF] button is on, [SYNC START] is off, and this parameter is set to the value other than “Disabled,” you can play chords in the chord section of the keyboard with the Style stopped, and still hear the accompaniment chord. In this condition — called “Stop Accompaniment” — any valid chord fingerings are recognized and the chord root/type are shown in the Style area of the Home display. Here, you can determine whether the chord played in the chord section will sound or not in the Stop Accompaniment status. • Disabled: Disables the Stop Accompaniment feature. When Style playback is stopped, any pressed notes in the chord section of the keyboard will not be recognized as chords. • Off: The chord played in the chord section will not sound. • Style: The chord played in the chord section will sound via the Voices for the Pad part and the Bass channel of the selected Style. • Fixed: The chord played in the chord section will sound via the specified Voice, regardless of the selected Style. NOTE When the selected Style contains MegaVoices, unexpected sounds may result when this is set to “Style.” NOTE If you record a Song using the Stop Accompaniment, both the Voice that is sounded and the chord data will be recorded when set to “Style,” and only the chord data will be recorded when set to “Off” or “Fixed.” NOTE When this is set to “Disabled,” chords are not recognized while the Style is stopped. This is why both Vocal Harmony (with the Chordal mode) and Keyboard Harmony are not applied even if you play a chord in the chord section of the keyboard while the Style is stopped. ACMP On/Off Default CVP-609/605 Reference Manual Determines whether the [ACMP ON/OFF] button is on or off when the power is turned on. 76 Style Playback Related Settings OTS Link Timing This applies to the OTS Link function. This parameter determines the timing in which the One Touch Settings change with the MAIN VARIATION [A] – [D] change. (The [OTS LINK] button must be on.) • Real Time: One Touch Setting is immediately called up when you press a MAIN VARIATION button. • Next Bar: One Touch Setting is called up at the next measure, after you press a MAIN VARIATION button. Synchro Stop Window This determines how long you can hold a chord before the Synchro Stop function is automatically cancelled. When the [SYNC STOP] button is turned on and this is set to a value other than “Off,” this is automatically cancels the Synchro Stop function if you hold a chord for longer than the time set here. This conveniently resets Style playback control to normal, letting you release the keys and still have the Style play. In other words, if you release the keys sooner than the time set here, the Synchro Stop function works. Style Touch Response Turns touch response for the Style playback on/off. When this is set to “On,” the Style volume changes in response to your playing strength in the chord section of the keyboard. Change Behavior Section Set Determines the default section that is automatically called up when selecting different Styles (when Style playback is stopped). When set to “Off ” and Style playback is stopped, the active section is maintained even if the different Style is selected. When any of the MAIN A–D sections is not included in the Style data, the nearest Section is automatically selected. For example, when MAIN D is not contained in the selected Style, MAIN C will be called up. Tempo This determines whether the tempo changes or not when you change the Style. • Lock: Regardless of playback status, the tempo setting of the previous Style is maintained. • Hold: While the Style is playing back, the tempo setting of the previous Style is maintained. While the Style is stopped, the tempo changes to that of the default tempo of the selected Style. • Reset: Regardless of playback status, the tempo changes to that of the default tempo for the selected Style. Part On/Off This determines whether the Style Channel on/off status changes or not when you change the Style. • Lock: Regardless of playback status, the Channel on/off status of the previous Style is maintained. • Hold: While the Style is playing back, the Channel on/off status of the previous Style is maintained. While the Style is stopping, all Channels of the selected Style are set to on. • Reset: Regardless of playback status, all Channels of the selected Style are set to on. Music Finder Tempo CVP-609/605 Reference Manual This determines whether the tempo changes or not when you change the Style by using the Music Finder. • Lock: Regardless of playback status, the tempo setting of the previous Style is maintained. • Hold: While the Style is playing back, the tempo setting of the previous Style is maintained. While the Style is stopped, the tempo changes to that of the default tempo of the selected Style. • Reset: Regardless of playback status, the tempo changes to that of the default tempo of the selected Style. 77 Style Playback Related Settings Style Characteristics On the Style Selection display, icons defining the Style characteristics are indicated at left of the Style name. • Pro: These Styles provide professional and exciting arrangements combined with perfect playability. The resulting accompaniment exactly follows the chords of the player. As a result, your chord changes and colorful harmonies are instantly transformed into lifelike musical accompaniment. • Session: These Styles provide even greater realism and authentic backing by mixing in original chord types and changes, as well as special riffs with chord changes, with the Main sections. These have been programmed to add “spice” and a professional touch to your performances of certain songs and in certain genres. Keep in mind, however, that the Styles may not necessarily be appropriate or even harmonically correct for all songs and for all chord playing. In some cases for example, playing a simple major triad for a country song may result in a “jazzy” seventh chord, or playing an on-bass chord may result in inappropriate or unexpected accompaniment. • Free Play: These Styles are characterized by rubato performance. You can perform freely with remarkably expressive accompaniment without being constrained by a strict tempo. • Pianist: These special Styles provide piano-only accompaniment. Just by playing the proper chords with your left hand, you can automatically add complicated, professional-sounding arpeggios and bass/chord patterns. CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 78 Song Settings Related to Playback/Recording Guide If you use the Guide function, the keyboard guide lamps indicate the notes (location and timing) for you to play.

NOTE The preset Songs in the “Follow Lights” folder contain the Guide settings. These Songs are inappropriate for use with All” or Random repeat. Phrase Mark Repeat Phrase Mark is a pre-programmed part of some Song data, which specifies a certain location (set of measures) in the Song. When this is “On,” the section corresponding to the specified Phrase Mark number is repeatedly played back. This parameter is available only when the MIDI Song containing Phrase Mark settings is selected. Quick Start On some commercially available MIDI Song data, certain settings related to the MIDI Song (such as Voice selection, volume, etc.) are recorded to the first measure, before the actual note data. When Quick Start is set to “On,” the instrument reads all initial non-note data of the Song at the highest possible speed, then automatically switches to the appropriate tempo at the first note. This allows you to start playback as quickly as possible, with a minimum pause for reading of data. MIDI Song Fast Forward Type (*) Determines the fast forward type of when pressing [RR] during MIDI Song playback. • Jump: Pressing [RR] once instantly sets the playback position to the next measure without sounding. Holding [RR] scrolls forward continuously. • Scrub: Pressing and holding [RR] plays and sounds the MIDI Song at high speed.

To restore the default initial setting (440.0 Hz), touch and hold down the setting value for a while. Scale Tune – Selecting or Creating a Temperament – 1 2 Keyboard parts CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 84 Fine Tuning the Pitch 1 Select the desired Scale type (temperament). You can select one of various scales for playing in custom tunings for specific historical periods or music genres. Type 2 • Equal: The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with each halfstep evenly spaced in pitch. This is the most commonly used tuning in music today. • Pure Major, Pure Minor: These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale, especially for triad chords (root, third, fifth). You can hear this best in actual vocal harmonies — such as choirs and a cappella singing. • Pythagorean: This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and is created from a series of perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this tuning are slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some leads. • Mean-Tone: This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by making the major third interval more “in tune.” It was especially popular from the 16th century to the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale. • Werckmeister, Kirnberger: This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger systems, which were themselves improvements on the mean-tone and Pythagorean scales. The main feature of this scale is that each key has its own unique character. The scale was used extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven, and even now it is often used when performing period music on the harpsichord. • Arabic1, Arabic2: Use these tunings when playing Arabic music. Change the following settings as necessary. Base Note Determines the base note for each scale. When the base note is changed, the pitch of the keyboard is transposed, yet maintains the original pitch relationship between the notes. Tune [cent] Select the desired note to be tuned and tune it in cents. If you edit this parameter, “(Edited)” is shown at the right of “Type” in step 1. NOTE In musical terms a “cent” is 1/100th of a semitone. (100 cents equal one semitone.) (Parts) Checkmark the part to which the Scale Tune setting is applied. To store the Scale Tune settings: If you want to store the Scale Tune settings, use the Registration Memory. Press the REGISTRATION MEMORY [MEMORY] button, then checkmark “Scale Tune” and press one of the REGISTRATION MEMORY [1] – [8] buttons to register the Scale Tune settings.

Pre-programmed MIDI Templates All Parts Transmits all parts including the keyboard parts (Main, Layer and Left), with the exception of Song parts. KBD & STYLE Basically the same as “All Parts” with the exception of how keyboard parts are managed. The right-hand parts are handled as “Upper” instead of Main and Layer, and the left-hand part is handled as “Lower.” CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 88 MIDI Settings Master KBD (Master Keyboard) In this setting, the instrument functions as a “master” keyboard, playing and controlling one or more connected tone generators or other devices (such as a computer/sequencer). Song With this setting, only the Song channels 1 – 16 are transmitted from this instrument via the corresponding channel numbers 1 – 16 respectively. This is used to play Song data with an external tone generator and to record Song data to an external sequencer. Clock Ext (Clock External) Playback or recording (Song, Style, etc.) synchronizes with an external MIDI clock instead of the instrument’s internal clock. This template should be used when you wish to set the tempo on the MIDI device connected to the instrument. MIDI Accord1 (MIDI Accordion 1) MIDI accordions allow you to transmit MIDI data and play connected tone generators from the keyboard and bass/chord buttons of the accordion. This template lets you control the keyboard performance and Style playback from the MIDI Accordion. MIDI Accord2 (MIDI Accordion 2) Basically the same as “MIDI Accord1” above, with the exception that the chord/bass notes you play with your left hand on the MIDI Accordion are recognized also as MIDI note events. MIDI Pedal1 MIDI pedal units allow you play connected tone generators with your feet (especially convenient for playing single note bass parts). This template lets you play/control the chord root in Style playback with a MIDI pedal unit. MIDI Pedal2 This template lets you play the bass part for Style playback by using a MIDI pedal unit. MIDI OFF No MIDI signals are sent or received. System – MIDI System Related Settings – The explanations here apply when you call up “System” display in step 2 on page 88. Clock Determines whether the instrument is controlled by its own internal clock (“Internal”) or a MIDI clock (“MIDI,” “USB1,” “USB2,” and “Wireless LAN”) received from an external device. “Internal” is the normal Clock setting when the instrument is being used alone or as a master keyboard to control external devices. If you are using the instrument with an external sequencer, MIDI computer, or other MIDI device, and you want to synchronize it to that device, set this parameter to the appropriate setting: “MIDI,” “USB 1,” “USB 2,” or “Wireless LAN.” In this case, make sure that the external device is connected properly (e.g., to the instrument’s MIDI IN terminal), and that it is properly transmitting a MIDI clock signal. When this is set for control by an external device (“MIDI,” “USB1,” “USB2,” or “Wireless LAN”), the Tempo is indicated as “Ext.” in the Tempo display. NOTE If the Clock is set other than “Internal,” the Style, Song, Metronome and Tempo cannot be controlled by the buttons on this instrument. NOTE “Wireless LAN” is shown only when the USB Wireless LAN adaptor is connected to this instrument. Transmit Clock Turns MIDI clock (F8) transmission on or off. When set to “Off,” no MIDI clock or Start/ Stop data is transmitted even if a Song or Style is played back. Transpose MIDI Input Determines whether or not the instrument’s transpose setting is applied to the note events received from the external device via MIDI. Start/Stop Determines whether incoming FA (start) and FC (stop) messages affect Song or Style playback. CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 89 MIDI Settings Local Control Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When Local Control is set to “On,” the keyboard of the instrument controls its own (local) internal tone generator, allowing the internal Voices to be played directly from the keyboard. If you set Local to “Off,” the keyboard and controllers are internally disconnected from the instrument’s tone generator section so that no sound is output when you play the keyboard or use the controllers. For example, this allows you to use an external MIDI sequencer to play the instrument’s internal Voices, and use the instrument keyboard to record notes to the external sequencer and/or play an external tone generator. System Exclusive Message Transmit Determines whether the MIDI System Exclusive message is transmitted (On) or not (Off) from this instrument. Receive Determines whether the MIDI System Exclusive message is recognized (On) or not (Off) by this instrument. Chord System Exclusive Message Transmit Determines whether the MIDI chord exclusive data (chord detect. root and type) is transmitted (On) or not (Off) from this instrument. Receive Determines whether the MIDI chord exclusive data (chord detect. root and type) is recognized (On) or not (Off) by this instrument. Transmit – MIDI Transmit Channel Settings – The explanations here apply when you call up “Transmit” display in step 2 on page 88. This determines which MIDI channel is used for each part when the MIDI data is transmitted from this instrument. 1 Lets you alternate between two pages. 2 The dots corresponding to each channel (1–16) flash briefly whenever any data is transmitted on the channel(s). 1 For each Part, select the MIDI Transmit Channel with which the MIDI data of the corresponding Part is to be transmitted. With the exception of the two parts below, the configuration of the parts is the same as those already explained elsewhere in the Owner’s Manual. • Upper: A keyboard part played on the right side of the keyboard from the Left Split Point. • Lower: A keyboard part played on the left side of the keyboard from the Left Split Point. This is not affected by the on/off status of the [ACMP ON/OFF] button. NOTE If the same transmit channel is assigned to several different parts, the transmitted MIDI messages are merged to a single channel — resulting in unexpected sounds and possible glitches in the connected MIDI device. NOTE Protected Songs cannot be transmitted even if the proper Song channels 1 – 16 are set to be transmitted. CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 90 MIDI Settings 2 Touch [R] to call up the other page then select which MIDI messages are to be transmitted for each Part. The following MIDI messages can be set on the Transmit/Receive display. • Note (Note events) ............................ page 67 • CC (Control Change)....................... page 67 • PC (Program Change) ..................... page 67 • PB (Pitch Bend) ................................. page 67 • AT (Aftertouch) ................................. page 67 Receive – MIDI Receive Channel Settings – The explanations here apply when you call up “Receive” display in step 2 on page 88. This determines which Part is used for each MIDI channel when the MIDI data is recognized by this instrument. 1 Lets you alternate between two pages. 2 The dots corresponding to each channel (1–16) flash briefly whenever any data is received on the channel(s). 1 For each Channel, select the Part which is to handle the MIDI data of the corresponding channel received from the external MIDI device. When connecting via USB, MIDI data of 32 channels (16 channels x 2 Ports) can be handled by this instrument. With the exception of the two parts below, the configuration of the parts is the same as those already explained elsewhere in the Owner’s Manual. • Keyboard: The received note messages control the instrument’s keyboard performance. • Extra Part 1 – 5: There are five parts specially reserved for receiving and playing MIDI data. Normally, these parts are not used by the instrument itself. The instrument can be used as a 32-channel multi-timbral tone generator by using these five parts in addition to the parts (except for the microphone sound). 2 Touch [R] to call up the other page then select which MIDI messages are to be received for each Channel. CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 91 MIDI Settings MIDI transmission/reception via the USB terminal, Wireless LAN, and MIDI terminals The relationship between the MIDI terminals, Wireless LAN and the [USB TO HOST] terminal which can be used for transmitting/receiving 32 channels (16 channels x 2 ports) of the MIDI messages is as follows: MIDI reception MIDI IN terminal Wireless LAN MIDI transmission USB TO HOST terminal MIDI OUT terminal Wireless LAN USB TO HOST terminal Port handling USB1 USB2 Merge MIDI/USB1/ Wireless LAN 1 – 16 USB2 1 – 16 MIDI/USB1/Wireless LAN 1 – 16 On Bass Note – Setting the Bass Note for Style Playback – The explanations here apply when you call up “On Bass Note” display in step 2 on page 88. The settings here let you determine the bass note for Style playback, based on the note messages received via MIDI. The note on/off messages received at the channel(s) set to on are recognized as the bass note of the chord for Style playback. The bass note will be detected regardless of the [ACMP ON/OFF] or Split Point settings. When several channels are simultaneously set to on, the bass note is detected from merged MIDI data received over the channels. Touch the desired channel number to enter the checkmark. Touch the same location again to remove the checkmark. CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 92 MIDI Settings Chord Detect – Setting the Chord Type for Style Playback – The explanations here apply when you call up “Chord Detect” display in step 2 on page 88. The settings here let you determine the chord type for Style playback, based on the note messages received via MIDI. The note on/off messages received at the channel(s) set to on are recognized as the notes for detecting chords in Style playback. The chords to be detected depend on the fingering type. The chord types will be detected regardless of the [ACMP ON/OFF] or split point settings. When several channels are simultaneously set to on, the chord type is detected from merged MIDI data received over the channels. Touch the desired channel number to enter the checkmark. Touch the same location again to remove the checkmark. CVP-609/605 Reference Manual 93 Making Global Settings (Utility) Speaker/Connectivity Speaker Determines how the sound is output from the speaker of this instrument. • Headphone Switch: Speaker sounds normally, but is cut off when headphones are inserted to the [PHONES] jack. • On: Speaker sound is always on. • Off: Speaker sound is off. You can only hear the instrument sound via the headphones or an external device connected to the AUX OUT jacks.
