OWNER’S MANUAL
For information on assembling the keyboard stand, refer to the instructions at the end of this manual.
IMPORTANT —Check your power supply—
Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the name plate on the bottom panel. In some areas
a voltage selector may be provided on the bottom panel of the main keyboard unit near the power cord. Make sure that the
voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area. The voltage selector is set at 240V when the unit is initially shipped. To change
the setting use a "minus" screwdriver to rotate the selector dial so that the correct voltage appears next to the pointer on the panel.

PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical
shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required
voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have
accumulated on it.
Use only the supplied power cord/plug.
Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and
do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on
it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything
over it.
Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or
modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it
should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet
conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into
any openings.
Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden
loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke
should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch,
disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected
by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage
to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold
the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.
Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used
for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector.
Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the
outlet.
Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly process.
Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might result in
damage to the instrument or even injury.
Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or
heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to
prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal
components.
Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment,
mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio
may generate noise.
Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally
fall over.
Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.
When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is
easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off
the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power
switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum
level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug
the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the
power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all
components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes
of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume
controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.
(CVP-309 including grand piano type) Gently remove dust and dirt with a soft
cloth. Do not wipe too hard since small particles of dirt can scratch the
instrument's finish.
When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use
paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping
cloths.
•Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do not insert a
finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or instrument.
Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the key
cover, panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and
unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected
by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might
discolor the panel or keyboard.
(CVP-309 including grand piano type) Bumping the surface of the instrument
with metal, porcelain, or other hard objects can cause the finish to crack or peel.
Use caution.
Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not
use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or
uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you
experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
Do not place the bench in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall
over.
Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or step-
ladder or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury.
Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the
possibility of accident or injury.
(CVP-309 including grand piano type) Do not attempt to adjust the bench height
while sitting on the bench, since this can cause excessive force to be imposed
on the adjustment mechanism, possibly resulting in damage to the mechanism
or even injury.
If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten them
periodically using the included tool.

The data of the types listed below are lost when you turn off the power to the
instrument. Save the data to the USER tab display (page 26), floppy disk,

Introduction
Welcome to the Wonderful Musical World of the Clavinova CVP!
Authentic Acoustic Piano-like Touch
Natural Wood Keyboard (CVP-309 including grand piano type)
The special Natural Wood keyboard of the CVP-309 uses real-wood white keys, to
reproduce as closely as possible the experience of playing an actual acoustic grand
piano. The authentic touch and feel of the keys goes far beyond existing electronic
keyboards, realistically recreating the hardness of the keys, the balance between the
weight of the key and hammer, and the characteristic weight gradations of the keys –
heavy in the low end, light in the high register – to make you feel as if you’re playing a
real grand piano. Moreover, this specially crafted keyboard lets you use techniques
only possible on grand pianos, such as playing the same note successively and having
the sounds blend smoothly even without use of the damper pedal, or playing the same
key quickly and having perfect articulation without the sound cutting off unnaturally.
GH3 Keyboard (CVP-307)
This feature provides authentic, realistic keyboard response – much like the playing
feel of a grand piano – with the lower keys being heavy in touch, the higher keys light,
and all the natural gradations in between. Moreover, this specially crafted keyboard
lets you use techniques only possible on grand pianos, such as playing the same note
successively and having the sounds blend smoothly even without use of the damper
pedal, or playing the same key quickly and having perfect articulation without the
sound cutting off unnaturally.
Turn on the iAFC (Instrumental Active Field Control) effect, and hear the sound expand
around you, as if you’re playing on stage in a concert hall. The overall sound is deeper
and more resonant, especially when using the damper pedal, recreating and empha-
sizing the natural sounds of true acoustic instruments.

ing and practicing pieces.
Guide Lamps...............................................................................page 38
The key guide lamps are also helpful in learning and practicing, since they
indicate the notes you should play, when you should play them, and how long
you should hold them down.
Recording Your Performances .................................................. page 41
The Clavinova lets you easily record your own performances and save them
to internal memory or a SmartMedia card. This, too, is an excellent practice
tool, letting you listen back to your playing and spot your strong and weak
points.

Introduction
Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks
(The floppy disk drive may be included or
optional, depending on your locale. For instruc-
tions on installing the floppy disk drive, see
page 212.)
The floppy disk drive lets you save original data you’ve cre-
ated on the instrument to floppy disk, and allows you to
load data from floppy disk to the instrument.
Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with
care. Follow the important precautions below.
Floppy Disk Compatibility
3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used.
Formatting a Floppy Disk
If you find that you are unable to use new, blank disks or
old disks that have been used with other devices, you
may need to format them. For details on how to format a
disk, see page 62. Keep in mind that all data on the disk
will be lost after formatting. Make sure to check before-
hand whether or not the disk contains important data.
n
Floppy disks formatted on this device may or may not be useable
as is on other devices.
Inserting/Removing Floppy Disks
Inserting a Floppy Disk into the Disk
Drive:
Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing
upward and the sliding shutter is facing forward, towards
the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly
pushing it all the way in until it clicks into place and the
eject button pops out.
n
Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other
objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy disks.
Removing a Floppy Disk
After checking that the instrument is not accessing* the
floppy disk (checking that the use lamp on the floppy
disk drive is off), firmly press the eject button at the
upper right of the disk slot all the way in.
When the floppy disk is ejected, pull it out of the drive. If
the floppy disk cannot be removed because it is stuck,
do not try to force it, but instead try pressing the eject
button again, or try re-inserting the disk and attempt to
eject it again.
* Access of the disk indicates an active operation, such as
recording, playback, or deletion of data.
If a floppy disk is inserted while the power is on, the disk is
automatically accessed, since the instrument checks whether
the disk has data.
Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive
before turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the
drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and
dirt that can cause data-read and -write errors.
Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head
Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument
employs a precision magnetic read/write head which,
after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of
magnetic particles from the disks used that will eventu-
ally cause read and write errors.
•To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order
Yamaha recommends that you use a commercially-avail-
able dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head about
once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the avail-
ability of proper headcleaning disks.
About Floppy Disks
Handle floppy disks with care, and fol-
low these precautions:
Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply
pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep floppy disks
in their protective cases when they are not in use.
Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely high
or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liq-
uids.
Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed
surface of the floppy disk inside.
Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as those
produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since
magnetic fields can partially or completely erase data on
the disk, rendering it unreadable.
Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or hous-
ing.
Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to
a floppy disk. Also make sure that labels are attached in
the proper location.
To Protect Your Data (Write-protect Tab):
•To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the
disk's write-protect tab to the “protect” position (tab
open). When saving data, make sure that the disk's
write-protect tab is set to the “overwrite” position (tab
closed).
CAUTION
Do not remove the floppy disk or turn off the instrument
itself while the disk is being accessed.
Doing so may result not only in loss of data on the disk
but also damage to the floppy disk drive.

Introduction
Handling SmartMedia
TM
*Memory Cards
*SmartMedia is a trademark of Toshiba Corporation.
This instrument features a built-in SmartMedia card slot (on
the front panel). It lets you save original data you’ve cre-
ated on the instrument to a SmartMedia card, and allows
you to load data from a card to the instrument. Be sure to
handle SmartMedia cards with care. Follow the important
precautions below.
Compatible SmartMedia Types
3.3V (3V) SmartMedia can be used. 5V type SmartMedia
is not compatible with this instrument.
SmartMedia cards of seven different memory capacities
of (2MB, 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, and 128MB)
can be used with the instrument. SmartMedia cards
greater than 32MB can be used if they conform to the
SSFDC Forum standard.
n
SSFDC is an abbreviation for Solid State Floppy Disk Card
(another name for SmartMedia cards). The SSFDC Forum is a vol-
untary organization established for the promotion of SmartMedia.
Formatting SmartMedia Cards
If you find that you are unable to use new, blank SmartMe-
dia cards or cards that have been used with other devices,
you may need to format them. For details on how to format
a SmartMedia card, see page 62. Keep in mind that all data
on the card will be lost after formatting. Make sure to
check beforehand whether or not the card contains impor-
tant data.
n
SmartMedia cards formatted on this device may or may not be
useable as is on other devices.
Inserting/Removing SmartMedia Cards
Inserting SmartMedia Cards
Insert the SmartMedia card with the terminal (gold-
plated) side face down into the card slot, until it clicks
into place.
Do not insert the SmartMedia card in the wrong direc-
tion.
Do not insert anything other than a SmartMedia card in
the slot.
Removing SmartMedia Cards
After making sure that the instrument is not accessing*
the SmartMedia card, insert the card until it clicks into
place and release it. When the SmartMedia card is
ejected, pull it out of the drive. If the card cannot be
removed because it is stuck, do not try to force it, but
instead try re-inserting the card completely into the slot
and attempt to eject it again.
* Accessing includes saving, loading, formatting, deleting and
making directory. Also, be aware that the instrument will
automatically access the SmartMedia to check the media
type when it is inserted while the instrument is turned on.
About SmartMedia Cards
Handle SmartMedia cards with care,
and follow these precautions:
•There are times when static electricity affects SmartMe-
dia. Before you touch a SmartMedia card, touch some-
thing metallic such as a door knob and aluminum sash,
to reduce the possibility of static electricity.
Be sure to remove the SmartMedia card from the Smart-
Media slot when it is not in use for a long time.
Do not expose the SmartMedia to direct sunlight,
extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive humid-
ity, dust or liquids.
Do not place heavy objects on a SmartMedia card or
bend or apply pressure to the card in any way.
Do not touch the gold-plated terminals of the SmartMe-
dia card or put any metallic plate onto the terminals.
Do not expose the SmartMedia card to magnetic fields,
such as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors,
etc., since magnetic fields can partially or completely
erase data on the SmartMedia, rendering it unreadable.
Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to
a SmartMedia. Also make sure that labels are attached in
the proper location.
To Protect Your Data (Write-protect):
•To prevent inadvertent erasure of important data, affix
the write-protect seal (provided in the SmartMedia pack-
age) onto the designated area (within the circle) of the
SmartMedia card. Conversely, to save data on the Smart-
Media card, make sure to remove the write-protect seal
from the card.
Do not reuse a seal that has been peeled off.
CAUTION
Never attempt to remove the SmartMedia card or turn
the power off during accessing. Doing so can damage the
data on the instrument or card and possibly damage the
SmartMedia card itself.

Using the Pedals
The Clavinova features three pedals.
Damper Pedal (Right)
The damper pedal performs the same function as the damper
pedal on an actual acoustic piano, letting you sustain the sound
of the voices even after releasing the keys.
n
Some Voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after
the notes have been released while the damper pedal is held.
Certain Voices in the “PERCUSSION & DRUM KIT,” “GM&XG”
and “GM2” groups may not be affected by use of the damper
pedal.
Sostenuto Pedal (Center)
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the soste-
nuto pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as
long as the pedal is held. All subsequent notes will not sustain.
n
Certain Voices, such as [STRINGS] or [BRASS], sustain continu-
ously when the sostenuto pedal is pressed.
Certain Voices in the “PERCUSSION & DRUM KIT”, “GM&XG”
and “GM2” groups may not be affected by use of the sostenuto
pedal.
Left Pedal
When the Piano voice is selected, pressing this pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of the notes
you play.
The settings assigned to this pedal may differ depending on the selected Voice.
n
The depth of the left pedal effect can be adjusted (page 95).

Mega Voices Compatibility
Mega Voices are unique to the
Clavinova and are not compati-
ble with other models. Any song
/
style data you’ve created on the
Clavinova using the Mega Voices
will not sound properly when
played back on other instru-
ments.
Natural!
These rich and luscious Voices are comprised mostly of keyboard instru-
ment 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, Dynamic Sampling, Sus-
tain Sampling, and Key-off Sampling.
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 elec-
tric instruments—thanks to a huge amount of memory and some very
sophisticated programming.
Sweet!
These acoustic instrument sounds also benefit from Yamaha’s sophisti-
cated technology—and feature a sound so finely detailed and natural,
you’ll swear you’re playing the real thing!
Drums
Various drum and percussion sounds are assigned to individual keys,
letting you play the sounds from the keyboard.
SFX
Various special effect sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you
play the sounds from the keyboard.
Organ Flutes!
This authentic organ Voice lets you use the Sound Creator to adjust the
various footages and craft your own original organ sounds. See page 97
for details.
Mega Voice
The Mega Voices are not intended to be played from the keyboard. They
are primarily designed for use with recorded MIDI sequence data (such
as songs and styles). Some of the guitar and bass Voices in particular
have been created as Mega Voices for the Clavinova, and are easily dis-
tinguished from the normal Voices by their icons in the Voice Selection
display.
What makes Mega Voices special is their use of velocity switching. Nor-
mal Voices use velocity switching, too—to make the sound quality and/
or level of a Voice according to how strongly or softly you play it. This
makes the Clavinova Voices sound authentic and natural. However,
with Mega Voices, each velocity range (the measure of your playing
strength) has a completely different sound.
For example, a Mega guitar Voice includes the sounds of various perfor-
mance 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 Mega Voices, a con-
vincing 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 veloci-
ties 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.
Live!Drums
These are high-quality drum sounds taking full advantage of Stereo
Sampling and Dynamic Sampling.
Live!SFX
These are high-quality Latin percussion sounds taking full advantage of
Stereo Sampling and Dynamic sampling. They give you a broader and
more versatile range of Latin percussion than the normal drum Voices.

Playing Different Voices Simulta-
neously
The Clavinova keyboard features various functions and performance conveniences
that are simply unavailable on an acoustic instrument. It allows you to play several
different Voices together in a layer, or play one Voice with your left hand while you
play a different Voice (or even two layered Voices!) with your right.
Keyboard Parts (Right 1, Right 2, Left)
Voices can be assigned independently to each keyboard part: Right 1, Right 2, and
Left. You can combine these parts by using the PART ON/OFF buttons to create a
rich, ensemble sound.
Keyboard Part Combinations
Playing a single Voice (Right 1 part)
You can play a single Voice over the entire keyboard range. This is used for nor-
mal performance—for example, with the piano Voice.
Playing Two Voices Simultaneously (Right 1 and 2 parts)
You can simulate a melody duet or combine two similar Voices to create a thicker
sound.
Refer to page 74 for Voice selection operations for the Right 2 part.
Playing Different Voices with the Left and Right Hands (Right 1 and Left
parts)
You can play different Voices with the left and right hands. For example, try play-
ing the bass Voice with your left hand and the piano Voice with your right.
The keyboard lamp will light at the split point of the keyboard.
Refer to page 75 for Voice selection operations for the Left part.
Playing Three Different Voices with the Left and Right Hands (Right 1, 2

Enhancing the Acoustic Realism of the Sound (iAFC)
CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual
76
Enhancing the Acoustic Realism of
the Sound (iAFC)
When iAFC is engaged (the default setting is ON), the Clavinova will sound deeper
and more resonant, similar to an acoustic musical instrument. Sounds picked up by
a microphone and sounds produced internally by the Clavinova are processed and
output from the rear speaker to enhance the acoustic realism of the sound. The iAFC
processing is most effective with the grand piano Voice (the one selected by pressing
the PIANO button).
Selecting the iAFC Type and Adjusting the
Depth
This section describes how to adjust various iAFC settings, such as selecting the
iAFC type and adjusting the depth.
There are three iAFC types as shown below. Select the desired type: stage ambi-
ence simulation or acoustic piano resonance simulation. Each type consists of
three sub-types. The depth can also be set for each type.
1
Press the [iAFC SETTING] button to call up the operation display.
2
Press one of the [2
ππ
ππ
]–[4
ππ
ππ
] buttons to select the iAFC type.
If you select the “NATURAL SOUND BOARD” or “SPATIAL ENSEM-
BLE,” make sure to execute the calibration operation (page 77).
DYNAMIC DAMPER Effect
This simulates the sustain sound that occurs when you press the damper
pedal of a grand piano. The microphone is not used, but the sound pro-
duced within the Clavinova is processed to create a spacious sensation.
iAFC cannot be used in the
following cases.
• (CVP-309 grand piano type)
When the lid is closed or open
with the shorter stay.
• When the Speaker setting is
Headphones SW (page 17),
and headphones are con-
nected.
• When the Speaker setting is
Off.
When using iAFC, do not block
or cover the speaker located on
the underside of the keyboard
(CVP-309 grand piano type) or
the rear panel (CVP-309/307) of
the Clavinova. The optimal iAFC
effect cannot be obtained if this
speaker is blocked.
iAFC uses Yamaha’s EMR (Elec-
tronic Microphone Rotator) tech
-
nology to ensure stability against
acoustic feedback.
Turning on the iAFC of the CVP-309 grand piano type
To turn on the iAFC, open the lid with the longer stay using the inner recess.
When the lid is closed or open with the shorter stay, the iAFC will not be
turned on.

•NATURAL SOUND BOARD
This enhances the acoustic realism of the sound by recreating the reso-
nance characteristics of acoustic instruments. When used on a grand
piano sound, it produces a more natural-sounding piano. The sound of the
instrument itself is picked up by a microphone, and processed to create a
virtual soundboard.
•SPATIAL ENSEMBLE Effect
This lets you experience the ambience and reverberation that are charac-
teristic of performing on stage. Ambience and reverberation are also
added to the performance of the musicians playing together with you, let-
ting you enjoy the sensation of playing together on stage. The sound of the
instrument itself and the sound of singing and other instruments played
nearby is picked up by a microphone, and processed to simulate the spa-
tial characteristics of performing together on stage.

Calibrating the iAFC Settings
This automatically adjusts the sensitivity and response of iAFC so that the optimal
iAFC effect will be obtained. Make sure to execute this operation when you select
“NATURAL SOUND BOARD” or “SPATIAL ENSEMBLE.
1
Press the [F] (MIC CALIBRATION) button in the iAFC operation dis-
play (page 76) to call up the calibration display.
2

When calibration begins, a fairly loud harpsichord note will sound four
times at a fixed interval. Calibration will end in approximately two and a
half minutes.
Note on using calibration
While calibration is being per-
formed, do not make audible
noises in the vicinity of the
Clavinova. If any extraneous
sounds are made in the vicinity
of the Clavinova during calibra-
tion, the calibration may abort,
and the settings will reset to their
default values. If this occurs, you
should perform the calibration
once again.

equal one semitone.)
Instantly recalling the desired
scale
Register the desired scale to the
Registration Memory. Be sure to
checkmark the SCALE item when
registering (page 125).
EQUAL
TEMPERAMENT
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 popu-
lar from the 16th century to the 18th century. Handel, among others,
used this scale.
WERCKMEISTER
KIRNBERGER
This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger sys-
tems, 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 per-
forming period music on the harpsichord.
ARABIC
Use these tunings when playing Arabic music.

The Harmony/Echo types are applied to the right-hand Voices (page 81).
MONO/POLY
This determines whether the part’s Voice is played monophonically
(only one note at a time) or polyphonically. Using the MONO mode
lets you play single, lead sounds (such as brass instruments) more realis-
tically. It also lets you expressively control the Portamento effect
(depending on the selected Voice) by playing legato.
DSP/DSP VARIA-
TION
With the digital effects built into the Clavinova, you can add ambience
and depth to your music in a variety of ways—such as adding reverb
that makes you sound like you are playing in a concert hall.
•The DSP switch is used to turn the DSP (Digital Signal Processor)
effect on or off for the currently selected keyboard part.
•The DSP Variation switch is used to change between variations of the
DSP effect. You could use this while you play, for example, to change
the rotating speed (slow/fast) of the rotary speaker effect.

Harmony/Echo Types
The Harmony/Echo types are divided into the following groups, depending on the
particular effect applied.
Harmony Types
When one of the Harmony Types is selected, the Harmony effect is applied to
notes played in the right-hand section of the keyboard according to the type
selected above and the chord specified in the chord section of the keyboard
shown below.
Multi Assign Type
Multi Assign effect automatically assigns notes played simultaneously in the right-hand
section of the keyboard to separate parts (Voices). Both of the keyboard part [RIGHT
1] and [RIGHT 2] should be turned on when using the Multi Assign effect. The Right 1
and Right 2 Voices are alternately assigned to the notes in the order you play.
Echo Types
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.
Echo Types
These types apply echo
effects to notes played in
the right-hand section of
the keyboard in time with
the currently set tempo.
Harmony Types
These types apply the harmony
effect to notes played in the
right-hand section of the key-
board according to the chord
specified in the left-hand sec-
tion of the keyboard. (Note that
the “1+5” and “Octave” settings
are not affected by the chord.)
Multi Assign Type
This type applies a special
effect to chords played in the
right-hand section of the key-
board.
Canceling the chord sound
for the harmony effect
This cancels the sound of the
chord played in the chord range
of the keyboard—letting you
hear only the Harmony effect.
Set [ACMP ON/OFF] to On, set
[SYNC START] to Off, and select
“Off” for the Stop Accompani-
ment parameter.

Harmony/Echo Settings
Editing the Volume and Tonal Balance
(MIXING CONSOLE)
The Mixing Console gives you intuitive control over aspects of the keyboard parts
and Song/Style channels, including volume balance and the timbre of the sounds.
It lets you adjust the levels and stereo position (pan) of each Voice to set the opti-
mum balance and stereo image, and lets you set how the effects are applied.
Basic Procedure
1
Press the [MIXING CONSOLE] button to call up the MIXING CON-
SOLE display.
2
Use the TAB [
]/[
®
] buttons to call up the relevant setting display.
For information on the available parameters, see the section “Adjustable
items (parameters) in the MIXING CONSOLE displays” on page 84.
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 har-
mony/echo notes will be sounded.
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.
TOUCH LIMIT
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 mel-
ody. The harmony effect is applied when you play the key strongly
(above the set value).

EQ (Equalizer)
Equalizer (also called “EQ”) is a sound processor that divides the frequency spec-
trum into multiple bands that can be boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall
frequency response. Usually an equalizer is used to correct the sound from speak-
ers to match the special character of the room. For example, you can cut some of
the low range frequencies when playing in large spaces where the sound is too
“boomy,” or boost the high frequencies in rooms and close spaces where the sound
is relatively “dead” and free of echoes. The Clavinova possesses a high-grade five-
band digital EQ. With this function, a final effect—tone control can be added to the
output of your instrument. You can select one of the five preset EQ settings in the
EQ display. You can even create your own custom EQ settings by adjusting the fre-
quency bands, and save the settings to one of two User Master EQ types.

Master Compressor
Compressor is an effect commonly used to limit and compress the dynamics (soft-
ness/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. Compres-
sion can be used to increase sustain for electric guitar, smooth out the volume of a
vocal, or bring a drum kit or rhythm pattern further up-front in the mix. The Clavi-
nova has a sophisticated multi-band compressor that allows you to adjust the com-
pression effect for individual frequency bands—giving you detailed sonic control.
You can edit and save your own custom Compressor types, or conveniently select
from one of the presets.

play are described separately, below. These are also treated as part of the Voice Set
parameters (page 100), which are automatically called up when the Voice is
selected.
PIANO
This display is available only when the Natural! piano Voice (page 72) is selected.
COMMON
CONTROLLER
1. MODULATION
When a pedal function is assigned to MODULATION, 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.
The available parameters differ
depending on the Voice.
TUNING CURVE
Determines the tuning curve. Select “FLAT” if you feel the tuning
curve of the piano Voice does not quite match that of other instru-
ments Voices.
STRETCH
Tuning curve particularly for pianos
FLAT
Tuning curve in which the frequency is octave doubled over the
entire keyboard range
KEY OFF SAMPLE
Adjusts the volume of the key-off sound (the subtle sound that
occurs when you release a key).
SUSTAIN SAMPLE
Adjusts the depth of sustain sampling for the damper pedal.
STRING RESONANCE
Adjusts the depth of string resonance.
Portamento Time:
The Portamento Time deter-
mines the pitch transition time.
Portamento is a function that cre-
ates a smooth transition in pitch
from the first note played on the
keyboard to the next.
VOLUME
Adjusts the volume of the current edited Voice.
TOUCH SENSE
Adjusts the touch sensitivity, or how greatly the volume responds to
your playing strength.
A setting of “0” produces more extreme drops in level, the more
softly you play, while a setting of “64” is normal response, and
“127” produces high volume for any playing strength (fixed).
PART OCTAVE
Shifts the octave range of the edited Voice up or down in octaves.
When the edited Voice is used as any of the RIGHT 1–2 parts, the
R1/R2 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 (page 80).
PORTAMENTO TIME
Sets the portamento time when the edited Voice is set to “MONO”
above.
FILTER
Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the Filter Cut-
off Frequency. For details about the filter, see page 95.
AMPLITUDE
Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the amplitude
(volume).
LFO PMOD
Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the pitch, or
the vibrato effect.
LFO FMOD
Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the Filter
modulation, or the wah effect.
LFO AMOD
Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the amplitude,
or the tremolo effect.

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 elec-
tronic, synthesizer–like effects.

Determines whether the assigned function is effective or not for the
respective keyboard part. This also determines the depth for the
function. For details, see page 187.
BRIGHTNESS
Determines the cutoff frequency or effective frequency range of the
filter (see diagram). Higher values result in a brighter sound.
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.

Editable Parameters in the SOUND CREATOR [ORGAN FLUTES]
displays
The following covers in detail the editable parameters that are set in the displays
explained in step 3 of the “Basic Procedure” on page 97. The Organ Flutes param-
eters are organized into three different pages. The parameters in each page are
described separately, below. These are also treated as part of the Voice Set parame-
ters (page 100), which are automatically called up when the Voice is selected.
FOOTAGE, VOLUME/ATTACK (common parameters)
FOOTAGE
VOLUME/ATTACK
ORGAN TYPE
Specifies the type of organ tone generation to be simulated: Sine or
Vintage.
ROTARY SP SPEED
Alternately switches between the slow and fast rotary speaker
speeds when a rotary speaker effect is selected for the Organ Flutes
(see “EFFECT/EQ” DSP TYPE parameter on page 97), and the Voice
Effect DSP (page 97) is turned on (this parameter has the same effect
as the Voice Effect VARIATION ON/OFF parameter).
VIBRATO ON/OFF
Alternately turns the vibrato effect for the Organ Flutes Voice ON or
OFF.
VIBRATO DEPTH
Sets the Vibrato depth to one of three levels: 1 (low), 2 (mid), or 3
(high).
Footage:
The term “footage” is a reference
to the sound generation of tradi-
tional pipe organs, in which the
sound is produced by pipes of
different lengths (in feet).
16'
5 1/3'
Switches the controllable footage (by using the [D] button), between 16'
and 5 1/3'.
16'–1'
Determines the basic sound of the organ flutes. The longer the pipe, the
lower the pitch of the sound. Hence, the 16' setting determines the low-
est pitched component of the Voice, while the 1' setting determines the
highest pitched component. The higher the value of the setting, the
greater the volume of the corresponding footage. Mixing various vol-
umes of the footages lets you create your own distinctive organ sounds.
VOL
Adjusts the overall volume of the Organ Flutes. The longer the
graphic bar, the greater the volume.
RESP
Affects both the attack and release (page 96) 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.
VIBRATO SPEED
Determines the speed of the vibrato effect controlled by the Vibrato
On/Off and Vibrato Depth above.
MODE
The MODE control selects between two modes: FIRST and EACH.
In the FIRST mode, attack is applied only to the first notes played
and held simultaneously; while the first notes are held, any subse-
quently played notes have no attack applied. In the EACH mode,
attack is applied equally to all notes.
4', 2 2/3', 2'
These determine the attack sound volume of the ORGAN FLUTE
Voice. The 4', 2-2/3' and 2' controls increase or reduce the volume
of attack sound at the corresponding footages. The longer the
graphic bar, the greater the attack sound volume.
LENG
Affects the attack portion of the sound producing a longer or shorter
decay immediately after the initial attack. The longer the graphic
bar, the longer the decay.

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 harmo-
nies 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 unex-
pected accompaniment.
Pianist
These special Styles provide piano-only accompaniment. Just by play-
ing the proper chords with your left hand, you can automatically add
complicated, professional-sounding arpeggios and bass/chord patterns.

Playing Only the Rhythm Channels
of a Style
Rhythm is one of the most important parts of a Style. Try to play the melody along
with just the rhythm. You can sound different rhythms for each Style. Keep in mind,
however, that not all Styles contain rhythm channels.
1
Select a Style (page 45).
2
Press the [ACMP ON/OFF] to turn Auto Accompaniment off.

AI:
Artificial Intelligence
Starting the rhythm with Sync
Start
You can also start the rhythm
simply by playing a key of the
chord section of the keyboard, if
Sync Start is enabled (turn on the
[SYNC START] button).
The rhythm does not sound for
the Pianist Styles (or other similar
Styles). When you want to use
any of these Styles, always make
sure that ACMP ON/OFF is
turned on.
SINGLE FINGER
Makes it simple to produce
orchestrated accompani-
ment using major, seventh,
minor and minor-seventh
chords by pressing a mini-
mum number of keys on the
Chord section of the key-
board. This type is available
only for Style playback.
The abbreviated chord fin-
gerings described at right are
used:
MULTI FINGER
Automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered chord fingerings, so you
can use either type of fingering without having to switch fingering types.
FINGERED
Lets you finger your own chords on the Chord section of the keyboard,
while the CVP supplies appropriately orchestrated rhythm, bass, and
chord accompaniment in the selected Style. The Fingered type recog-
nizes the various chord types which are listed on the separate Data List
booklet and can be looked up using the Chord Tutor function (page 48).
FINGERED ON
BASS
Accepts the same fingerings as the Fingered, but the lowest note played
in the Chord section of the keyboard is used as the bass note, allowing
you to play “on bass” chords (in the Fingered mode the root of the
chord is always used as the bass note).
FULL KEYBOARD
Detects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way
similar to Fingered, even if you split the notes between your left and
right hands—for example, playing a bass note with your left hand and a
chord with your right, or by playing a chord with your left hand and a
melody note with your right.
AI FINGERED
Basically the same as Fingered, with the exception that less than three
notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously
played chord, etc.).
AI FULL KEYBOARD
When this advanced fingering type is engaged, the CVP will automati-
cally create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about any-
thing, anywhere on the keyboard using both hands. You don’t have to
worry about specifying the Style chords. Although the AI Full Keyboard
type is designed to work with many songs, some arrangements may not
be suitable for use with this feature. This type is similar to Full Key-
board, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to
indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). 9th,
11th and 13th chords cannot be played. This type is available only for
Style playback.

Stop Accompaniment
When [ACMP ON/OFF] is turned on and [SYNC START] is off, 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 display.
From the display in page 104, you can determine whether the chord played in
the chord section will sound or not in the Stop Accompaniment status.
OFF
...............................The chord played in the chord section will not sound.
STYLE
...........................The chord played in the chord section will sound via the
Voices of the selected Style.
FIXED
...........................The chord played in the chord section will sound via the
specified Voice, regardless of the selected Style.
OTS Link Timing
This applies to the OTS Link function (page 50). 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 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.
Style Touch
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.
Section Set
Determines the default section that is automatically called up when selecting dif-
ferent Styles (when Style playback is stopped). When set to “OFF” and Style play-
back 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.
Data that is recorded when
recording a Song
Please note that both the Voice
that is sounded and the chord

Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles
Style Creator
You can create your own Styles—recording them by yourself or by combining the
internal Style data. The created Styles can be edited.
Style Structure
Styles are made up of fifteen different sections and each section has eight separate
channels. With the Style Creator feature, you can create a Style by separately
recording the channels, or by importing pattern data from other existing Styles.
Creating a Style
You can use one of the three different methods described below to create a Style.
The created Styles can also be edited (page 117).
Realtime Recording
See page 112
This method lets you record the Style by simply playing the instrument. You can
select an internal Style that most closely matches your image of the Style you want
to create and then re-record parts of the Style as desired, or you can create a new
Style from scratch.
Step Recording
See page 115
This method is like writing music notation on paper, since it allows you to enter
each note or individually, and specify its length.
This allows you to create a Style without having to play the parts on the instrument,
since you can enter each event manually.
Style Assembly
See page 116
This convenient feature lets you create composite Styles by combining various pat-
terns from the internal preset Styles. For example, if you want to create your own
original 8-beat Style, you could take rhythm patterns from the “Live8Beat” Style,
use the bass pattern from “Cool8Beat” Style and import the chord patterns from the
“8BeatModern” Style—combining the various elements to create one Style.

Realtime Recording (BASIC)
Create a single Style by recording the individual channels one-by-one, using real-
time recording.
Realtime Recording Characteristics
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 Rhythm Clear (page 114) and
Delete (page 113). 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),
delete the original data before recording.
When using realtime recording based on the internal Styles:
1
Select the desired Style to serve as the basis for recording/editing
(page 45).
When creating a new Style from scratch, press the [C] (NEW STYLE) button
from the display shown in step 5 below.
2
Press the [DIGITAL RECORDING] button.
3
Press the [B] button to call up the Style Creator display.
4
Use the TAB [
][
®
] buttons to select the BASIC tab.
5
Call up the display for selecting sections, etc. by pressing the [EXIT]
button.
When recording channels BASS-
PHR2 based on an internal Style,
delete the original data before
recording. Overdub recording is
not possible on channels BASS-
PHR2 (see above).
Overdub recording possible.
Overdub recording not possible.
Delete the data before recording.

Start recording by pressing the Style Control [START/STOP] button.
Playback of the specified section starts. Since the accompaniment pattern
plays back repeatedly in a loop, you can record individual sounds one by
one, listening to the previous sounds as they play. For information on
recording to channels other than the rhythm channels (RHY1, 2), refer to the
section “Rules when recording non-rhythm channels” (see below).
12

Deleting the recorded rhythm
channel (RHY 1, 2)
To delete a specific instrument
sound, simultaneously hold
down the [E] (RHY CLEAR) but-
ton (from the display where the
recorded channels are shown)
and press the appropriate key.
CAUTION
The recorded Style will be lost
if you change to another Style
or you turn the power off
without executing the Save
operation (page 63).
Any desired chord or chord pro-
gression can be used for the
INTRO and ENDING sections.
Changing the Source Chord
If you want to record the pattern
with a Source Chord other than
CM7, set the PLAY ROOT and
PLAY CHORD parameters on the
PARAMETER page (page 121)
before recording.
Rules when recording non-rhythm channels
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 chan-
nels (i.e., C, E, G, and B).
Using the data recorded here, the auto accompaniment (Style playback) is
appropriately converted depending on the chord changes you make dur-
ing your performance. The chord which forms the basis for this note con-
version is called the Source Chord, and is set by default to CM7 (as in the
example illustration above). You can change the Source Chord (its root and
type) from the PARAMETER display on page 121. 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 on
chord notes and recommended notes, see page 122.

Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles
Step Recording (EDIT)
The explanation here applies when selecting the EDIT tab in step 4 of “Realtime
Recording” (page 112).
In the EDIT display, you can record notes with absolutely precise timing. This Step
Recording procedure is essentially the same as that for Song Recording (page 115),
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 automati-
cally fixed, depending on the selected section. For example, if you create a Style
based on a section of four measures length, the End Mark position is automati-
cally set to the end of the fourth measure, and cannot be changed in the Step
Recording display.
Recording channels can be changed in the Song Creator 1–16 tab display; how-
ever, they cannot be changed in the Style Creator. Select the recording channel
in the BASIC tab display.
In the Style Creator, only the channel data can be entered and the System Exclu-
sive messages can be edited. You can switch between the two types of lists by
pressing the [F] button. Chord and Lyrics data are not available.

Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles
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 Style.
DYNAMICS
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.
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.
CHANNEL
Selects the desired channel (part) to which Dynamics is to be applied.
ACCENT TYPE
Determines the type of accent applied—in other words, which notes in
the part(s) are emphasized with the Dynamics settings.
STRENGTH
Determines how strongly the selected Accent Type (above) will be
applied. The higher the value, the stronger the effect.
EXPAND/COMP.
Expands or compresses the range of velocity values. Values higher than
100% expand the dynamic range, while values lower than 100% com-
press it.
BOOST/CUT
Boosts or cuts all velocity values in the selected section/channel. Values
above 100% boost the overall velocity, while values below 100%
reduce it.

The explanation here applies when you select the PARAMETER tab in step 4 of
“Basic Operation for Editing Styles” (page 117).
1
Press the [A]/[B] button to select the edit menu (page 122).
Editing of Style File Format data
is related only to note conver-
sion. Editing the rhythm chan-
nels has no effect.
The Style File Format (SFF) combines all of Yamaha’s auto
accompaniment (Style playback) know-how into a single
unified format. By using the Style Creator, you can take
advantage of the power of the SFF format and freely create
your own Styles.
The chart shown at left indicates the process by which the
Style is played back. (This does not apply to the rhythm
track.) These parameters can be set via the Style Creator
feature.
• Source Pattern
There are a variety of possibilities for Style playback
notes, depending on the particular root note and chord
type that are selected. The Style data is appropriately con-
verted depending on the chord changes you make during
your performance. This basic Style data that you create
with the Style Creator is referred to as the “Source Pat-
tern.
• Note Transposition
This parameter group features two parameters that deter-
mine how the notes of the Source Pattern are to be con-
verted in response to chord changes.
• Other Settings
Using the parameters of this group, you can fine-tune how
Style playback responds to the chords you play. For exam-
ple, the Note Limit parameter allows you to have the
Voices of the Style sound as realistic as possible by shift-
ing the pitch to an authentic range—ensuring that no
notes sound outside the natural range of the actual instru-
ment (e.g., very low notes of a piccolo sound).

SOURCE ROOT/CHORD
These settings determine the original key of the source pattern (i.e., the key used
when recording the pattern). The default setting of CM7 (with a Source Root of “C”
and a Source Type of “M7”), is automatically selected whenever the preset data is
deleted prior to recording a new Style, regardless of the Source Root and Chord
included in the preset data. When you change Source Root/Chord from the default
CM7 to another chord, the chord notes and recommended notes will also change,
depending on the newly selected chord type.
When the Source Root is C:
NTR (Note Transposition Rule)
This determines the relative position of the root note in the chord, when converted
from the Source Pattern in response to chord changes.
CAUTION
The edited Style will be lost if
you change to another Style
or you turn the power off
without executing the Save
operation.
Auditioning Your Style with a
Specific Chord
Normally in the Style Creator,
you can hear your original Style-
in-process with the Source Pat-
tern. However, there is a way to
hear it played by a specific chord
and root. To do this, set NTR to
“Root Fixed,” NTT to “Bypass,
and NTT BASS to “OFF” then
change the newly displayed
“Play Root” and “Play Chord”
parameters to the desired set-
tings.
ROOT TRANS
(Root Transpose)
When the root note is transposed, the
pitch relationship 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 trans-
posed to F. Use this setting for chan-
nels 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.

NTT (Note Transposition Table)
This sets the note transposition table for the source pattern.
NTT BASS ON/OFF
The channels 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.
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 root note.
MELODY
Suitable for melody line transposition. Use this for melody channels
such as Phrase 1 and Phrase 2.
CHORD
Suitable for chord transposition. Use this for the Chord 1 and Chord 2
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 semi-
tone. 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 dimin-
ished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern.

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 param-
eter (page 122) is set to “Root Trans.
NOTE LIMIT
This sets 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). The actual notes that
sound are automatically shifted to the set range.
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.

Parameter Lock
You can “lock” specific parame-
ters (e.g., effect, split point, etc.)

Playing Songs with the Quick Start function
With the default settings, the Quick Start function is turned on. On some
commercially available Song data, certain settings related to the 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 instru-
ment reads all initial non-note data of the Song at the highest possible
speed, then automatically slows down to the appropriate tempo at the first
note. This allows you to start playback as quickly as possible, with a mini-
mum pause for reading of data. When Quick Start is set to “ON,” a Song is
played back directly from the first note (which may be in the middle of a
measure). If you want to play from the beginning of the measure that has
silence prior to the first note, turn Quick Start “OFF.

edit the Songs you’ve recorded.
Recording Methods
There are three methods as shown below.
You can also edit Songs after they’ve been recorded (page 152).
For example, you can edit specific notes one by one, or you can use the Punch In/
Out function to re-record a specific part.
Turning playback channels of the Song on and off
A Song consists of 16 separate channels. You can independently turn each
channel of the selected Song playback on or off. Usually, CH 1 is assigned to

which can be used for recording at the same time.
Multi track Recording
page 139
This lets you record a whole Song including several different
instrument parts, to create the sound of a full band or orchestra.
Record the performance of each instrument part one by one
and create fully orchestrated compositions. You can also record
over already-recorded parts of an existing Song (Preset Song or
a Song on an external device, such as SmartMedia card) with
your own performance.
Step Recording
page 141
This method lets you compose your performance by “writing”
it down one event at a time. This is a non-realtime, manual
recording method – similar to writing music notation onto
paper. You can input notes, chords and other events one by
one (realtime performance is not needed).

About velocity
Velocity is determined by how
strongly you play the keyboard.
The more strongly you play the
keyboard, the higher the velocity
value and the louder the sound.
The velocity value can be speci-
fied within a range from 1 to
127. The higher the velocity
value, the louder the sound
becomes.
About items which can be selected via the [G] [H] [I] buttons
in the Step Record display
[G] button ........... Determines the velocity (loudness) of the note to
be entered.
[H] button ........... Determines the gate time (note length) of the note to
be entered.
[I] button ............. Determines the note type to be entered. Pressing the
button alternately switches the note selectors (at the
bottom of the display) among three basic note values:
normal, dotted and triplet.

Re-Recording a Specific Section—Punch In/
Out (REC MODE)
When re-recording a specific section of an already-recorded Song, use the Punch
IN/OUT function. In this method, only the data between the Punch In point and
the Punch Out point is overwritten with the newly recorded data. Keep in mind
that the notes before and after the Punch In/Out points are not recorded over,
although you will hear them play back normally to guide you in the Punch In/Out
timing. You can specify the Punch In and Punch Out points as measure numbers
beforehand for automatic operation, or manually execute the Punch In/Out record-
ing by using a Foot Pedal or simply by playing the keyboard.
The explanations here apply to the REC MODE display in step 4 of the “Basic Edit-
ing Operation” on page 152.

Examples of re-recording with various Punch In/Out settings
This instrument features several different ways you use the Punch In/Out function.
The illustrations below indicate a variety of situations in which selected measures
in an eight-measure phrase are re-recorded.
Pedal Punch In/Out settings
When this is set to ON, you can use the sostenuto pedal to control the punch-in
and punch-out points. While a Song is playing back, pressing (and holding) the
sostenuto pedal instantly enables Punch In recording, while releasing the pedal
stops recording (Punch Out).You can press and release the sostenuto pedal as often
as you want during playback, to punch in/out of overwrite recording. Note that the
current function assignment of the sostenuto pedal is cancelled when the Pedal
Punch In/Out function is set to ON.

Press the [I] (SAVE) button to call up the Song Selection display for

QUANTIZE menu
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 at right, 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 conve-
nient way of correcting for this.
Deleting the data of the specified channel (DELETE menu)
You can delete the data of the specified channel in the Song. Select the channel
whose data to be deleted by using the [1
π†
]–[8
π†
] buttons, then press the [D]
(EXECUTE) button to execute the operation.
CAUTION
The recorded Song data will
be lost if you select another
Song or turn the power to the
instrument off without exe-
cuting the Save operation
(page 63).
About Quantize size (resolu-
tion)
The Quantize size or resolution
is the number of clocks per quar-
ter note.
CHANNEL
Determines the channel in the Song to be quantized.
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 conve-
nient, 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 elimi-
nating any triplet feel. However, if you use the eighth note + eighth note triplet
setting, both the straight and triplet notes will be quantized correctly.
STRENGTH
Determines how strongly the notes will be quantized. A setting of 100% pro-
duces 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.

3BAND 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 Clavinova features a high-grade three-band (LOW, MID and HIGH)
digital equalizer function for the microphone sound.
•Hz
Adjusts the center frequency of the corresponding band.
•dB
Boosts or cuts the level of the corresponding band by up to 12 dB.
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 sig-
nal (vocal, etc.) to pass.
SW (Switch)
This turns the Noise Gate on or off.

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 soft
parts louder and loud parts softer.
SW (Switch)
This turns the Compressor on or off.
TH. (Threshold)
This adjusts the input level at which compression begins to be applied.
•RATIO
This adjusts the compression ratio.
OUT
This adjusts the final output level.
VOCAL HARMONY CONTROL
The following parameters determine how the harmony is controlled.
VOCODER CONTROL
The Vocal Harmony effect in Vocoder mode (page 167) is controlled by note
data—the notes you play on the keyboard and/or the notes of the song data. This
parameter lets you determine which notes are used to control the harmony.
BAL.
This lets you set the balance between the lead vocal (your own voice) and Vocal
Harmony. 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.
SONG CHANNEL MUTE/PLAY
When set to “MUTE,” the channel selected below (to control
Harmony) is muted (turned off) during song playback.
OFF/Channels 1–16
When set to “OFF,” song data control over harmony is turned
off. When set to one of the values 1–16, note data (played
from a song on the CVP or an external MIDI sequencer) con-
tained on the corresponding channel is used to control the
harmony. This setting is linked to the HARMONY CH setting in
the SONG SETTING display (page 135).
KEYBOARD OFF
Keyboard control over harmony is turned off.
UPPER
Notes played to the right of the split point control the har-
mony.
LOWER
Notes played to the left of the split point control the harmony.

167
MODE
All of the Vocal Harmony types fall into one of three modes, which produce har-
mony in different ways. The harmony effect is dependent on the selected Vocal
Harmony mode, and this parameter determines how the harmony is applied to
your voice. The three modes are described below.
CHORD
The following parameters determine which data in a recorded song is used for
chord detection.
MIC
The following parameters determine how the microphone sound is controlled.
MUTE
When set to ON, the microphone sound is turned off.
VOLUME
Adjusts the output volume of the microphone sound.
AUTO
When the [ACMP ON/OFF] or [LEFT] is set to ON and if chord
data exists in the song, the mode is automatically set to
CHORDAL. In all other cases, the mode is set to VOCODER.
VOCODER
The harmony notes are determined by the notes you play on the
keyboard and/or song data. You can specify whether the Vocoder
effect is controlled by your keyboard performance or by the Song
data (page 166).
CHORDAL
The harmony notes are determined by the following three types
of chord: chords played in the chord section of the keyboard
(with the [ACMP] turned on), chords played in the LEFT Voice
section of the keyboard (with the [ACMP] turned off and the
[LEFT] turned on), and chords contained in song data for control-
ling the harmony. (Not available if the song does not contain any
chord data.)
OFF
Chords are not detected from the song data.
XF
Chords of XF format are used for the Vocal Harmony.
1–16
Chords are detected from note data in the specified song chan-
nel.

Connecting the Clavinova Directly to the Internet
Connecting the Clavinova Directly to the Internet
You can purchase and download Song data and other types of data from the spe-
cial Clavinova website by directly connecting the Clavinova to the Internet. This
section contains terms related to computers and online communications. If there
are some terms you are unfamiliar with, refer to the Internet Glossary (page 183).
Connecting the Instrument to the
Internet
You can connect the instrument to a full-time online connection (ADSL, optical fiber,
cable Internet, etc.) via a router or a modem equipped with a router. For specific
instructions on connecting (as well as information on compatible LAN adapters, rout-
ers, etc.), refer to the Yamaha Clavinova website:

To use the Internet connection, you will first need to subscribe to an Internet ser-
vice or provider.
Connection example 1:
Connecting by cable (using a modem without router)
Connection example 2:
Connecting by cable (using a modem with router)
Connection example 3: Wireless connection
The special Clavinova website
can be opened when directly
connecting the Clavinova to the
Internet.
Depending on the Internet con-
nection, you may not be able to
connect to two or more devices
(for example, a computer and
the instrument), depending on
the contract with the provider.
This means you cannot connect
with the Clavinova. If in doubt,
check your contract or contact
your provider.
Some types of modems require
an optional hub network for
simultaneously connecting to
several devices (such as com-
puter, musical instrument, etc.).

Glossary of Internet Terms
CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual
183
Glossary of Internet Terms
Broadband
An Internet connection technology/service (such as ADSL and optical fiber) that allows for high-speed,
high-volume data communication.
Browser
The software used to search for, access, and view web pages. For this instrument, this refers to the display
that shows the contents of the web pages.
Cookie
A system that records certain information that the user transfers when visiting a website and using the Inter-
net. The function is similar to a preference file in a conventional computer program, in that it “remembers”
certain information such as your user name and password, so you don’t have to re-enter the information
each time you visit the site.
DHCP
This is a standard or protocol by which IP addresses and other low-level network configuration information
can be dynamically and automatically assigned each time connection is made to the Internet.
DNS
A system that translates names of computers connected to a network to their corresponding IP addresses.
Download
Transferring data over a network, from a larger “host” system to a smaller “client” system’s hard drive or
other local storage device—much like copying files from your hard disk drive to a floppy disk. For this
instrument, this refers to the process of transferring Song and other data from a website to the instrument.
Gateway
A system which links different networks or systems, and makes possible data transfer and conversion
despite differing communications standards.
Home page
The first page shown when opening a browser and connecting to the Internet. This phrase is also used to
mean the “front screen” or top page of a website.
Internet
A huge network made up of networks, the Internet allows high-speed data transfer among computers,
mobile phones and other devices.
IP address
A string of numbers assigned to each computer connected to a network, and indicating the device’s loca-
tion on the network.
LAN
Short for Local Area Network, this is a data-transfer network that connects a group of computers at a single
location (such as an office or home) by means of a special cable.
Link
A highlighted word, button or icon within a web page that, when clicked, opens another web page.
Modem
A device which connects and allows data transfer between a conventional telephone line and a computer. It
converts the digital signals from the computer to analog audio for sending over the phone line, and vice versa.
NTP
Short for Network Time Protocol, a standard for setting the internal system clock of the computer over a
network. For this instrument, the internal clock of the computer is used to specify the valid time/date for
cookies and SSL.
Provider
A communications business that offers Internet connection services. In order to connect to the Internet, it is
necessary to contract to a provider.
Proxy
A proxy server is a server that all computers on a local network have to go through before accessing informa-
tion on the Internet. It intercepts all or designated requests to the real server to see if it can fulfill the requests
itself. If not, it forwards the request to the real server. Proxy servers are used to improve performance and
speed, and to filter requests, usually for security and to prevent unauthorized access to an internal network.
Router
A device for connecting multiple computer networks. For example, a router is necessary when connecting several
computers in a house or office, and allow them to all access the Internet and share data. A router is usually con-
nected between a modem and a computer, although some modems have a built-in router.
Server
A hardware system or computer used as a central point for a network, providing access to files and ser-
vices.
Site
Short for “website,” this refers to the group of web pages that are opened together. For example, the collec-
tion of web pages whose addresses begin with “http://www.yamaha.com/” is referred to as the Yamaha site.
SSID
This is an identification name for specifying a particular network over a wireless LAN connection. Commu-
nication is possible only between terminals with matching SSID names.
SSL
Short for Secure Sockets Layer, a standard for transmitting confidential data such as credit card numbers
over the Internet.
Subnet mask
A setting used to divide a large-scale network into several smaller networks.
URL
Short for Uniform Resource Locator, a string of characters used to identify and link to specific websites and
pages on the Internet. A complete URL usually starts with the characters “http://.
Web page
Refers to each individual page that makes up a website.
Wireless LAN
A LAN connection that allows data transfer through a wireless, cable-free connection.

jacks (standard 1/4" phone jacks) located on the leftward
underside of the instrument. For details, see page 17.
2
Connecting a Microphone or
Guitar ([MIC./LINE IN] jack)
By connecting a microphone to the [MIC./LINE IN] jack
(standard 1/4" phone jack) located on the left underside
of the instrument, you can enjoy singing along with
Song playback (KARAOKE) or with your own perfor-
mance. The instrument outputs your vocals or guitar
sounds through the built-in speakers. For instructions on
connecting, see page 52. Please note that when con-
necting devices of high output level, make sure to set
the [MIC. LINE] switch to “LINE.

Connecting Audio &
Video Devices
n
Use audio cables and adaptor plugs having no (zero) resistance.
3
Using External Audio Devices for play-
back and Recording
([AUX OUT] Jacks, [AUX OUT (LEVEL
FIXED)] Jacks, [OPTICAL OUT] Jack)
You can connect these jacks to a stereo system to
amplify the instrument’s sound or to a cassette tape
recorder or a digital audio device for recording your
performance. The microphone or guitar sound con-
nected to the instrument’s [MIC./LINE IN] jack) is output
at the same time. Refer to the diagrams below and use
audio cables for connection. These jacks are located on
the underside jacks panel of the instrument.
[AUX OUT] Jacks
(Standard phone jacks of [L/L+R] and [R])
When these are connected, you can use the instru-
ment’s [MASTER VOLUME] control to adjust the vol-
ume of the sound output to the external device.
Connect the instrument’s AUX OUT [L/L+R]/[R] jacks
and the input jacks of a pair of powered speakers using
appropriate audio cables. Use only the [L/L+R] jack for
connection with a monaural device.
CAUTION
Before connecting the instrument to other electronic
components, turn off the power of all the components.
Also, before turning any components on or off, make sure
to set all volume levels to minimum (0). Otherwise, elec-
trical shock or damage to the components may occur.

Do not route the output from the [AUX OUT] [AUX OUT
(LEVEL FIXED)] jacks to the [AUX IN] jacks. If you make
this connection, the signal input at the [AUX IN] jacks is
output from the [AUX OUT] [AUX OUT (LEVEL FIXED)]
jacks. These connections could result in a feedback loop
that will make normal performance impossible, and may
even damage both pieces of equipment.

[AUX OUT (LEVEL FIXED)] Jacks
(RCA pin jacks of [L]and [R])
When these are connected (with RCA pin plug; LEVEL
FIXED), the sound is output to the external device at a
fixed level, regardless of the [MASTER VOLUME] con-
trol setting. Use these when controlling volume with an
external audio system, or recording the instrument’s
sound to an external audio system. Connect the instru-
ment’s AUX OUT [L]/[R] (LEVEL FIXED) jacks and the
AUX IN jacks of an external audio system using appro-
priate audio cables.
[OPTICAL OUT] Terminal
This is used for optical output of digital audio (fre-
quency: 44.1kHz) for highest sound quality. The output
level from the [OPTICAL OUT] terminal is fixed and is
unaffected by the master volume control on the instru-
ment. Use an appropriate optical cable to connect this
terminal to the optical digital input terminal of a minid-
isk (MD) recorder or CD recorder. (Make sure the con-
nectors of the cable match the terminals on both
devices.)
Since digital transfer allows you record a clear, noise-
free signal with no degradation or distortion, you can
record your favorite performances with the highest pos-
sible quality.
4
Playing External Audio Devices with
the Built-in Speakers ([AUX IN] Jacks)
The stereo outputs from another instrument can be con-
nected to these jacks, allowing the sound of an external
instrument to be reproduced via the instrument’s speak-
ers. Connect the output jacks (LINE OUT etc.) of an
external synthesizer or the tone generator module and
the instrument’s AUX IN [L/L+R]/[R] jacks using appro-
priate audio cables.
n
Use only the [L/L+R] jack for connection with a monaural device.
•The instrument’s [MASTER VOLUME] setting affects the input
signal from the [AUX IN] jacks.

Using the Footswitch or
Foot Controller
([AUX PEDAL] jack)
By connecting a Foot Controller or Footswitch to the
[AUX PEDAL] jack, you can have convenient control
over various user-assignable functions. For example,
connecting the Foot controller FC7 and assigning it the
volume control function allows you to add expression
to your performance by controlling the volume level of
the notes you play. Or by connecting the FC4 or FC5
footswitch and assigning it to the Style playback start/
stop function, you can start and stop the Style with your
foot. (In this case, the pedal has the same function as
the panel STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button.) The
assignable functions are listed following the instructions
below.
Assigning Specific Functions to Each

Assignable Pedal Functions
VOLUME*
Allows you to use a foot controller to control the volume. This function is available only
for the pedal connected to the instrument’s AUX PEDAL jack.
SUSTAIN
Allows you to use a pedal to control the sustain. When you press and hold the pedal,
all notes played on the keyboard have a longer sustain. Releasing the pedal immedi-
ately stops (damps) any sustained notes.
SOSTENUTO
Allows 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.
SOFT
Allows you to use a pedal to control the Soft effect. Pressing this pedal reduces the vol-
ume and changes the timbre of the notes you play. This is effective only for certain
appropriate Voices.
GLIDE
When the pedal is pressed, the pitch changes, and then returns to normal pitch 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). Portamento Time can also be adjusted
from the Mixing Console (page 84). This function does not affect certain Natural Voices,
which would not sound appropriately with this function.
PITCH BEND*
Allows you to bend the pitch of notes up or down by using the pedal.
MODULATION*
Applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. The depth of the effect
increases while pedal is pressed.

Connecting a Computer ([USB TO
HOST] and [MIDI] Terminals)
By connecting a computer to the [USB TO HOST] or
[MIDI] terminals, you can transfer data between the
instrument and the computer via MIDI, and take advan-
tage of sophisticated computer music programs. Keep in
mind that you also need to install an appropriate USB
MIDI driver.
The instructions below explain how to connect and use
the terminals.
n
If you are using a computer that has a USB interface, we recom-
mend that you connect the computer and the instrument by USB,
rather than by MIDI.
n
Driver
A driver is software that provides a data-transfer interface between
the computer’s operating system and a connected hardware
device. You need to install a USB MIDI driver to connect the com-
puter and the instrument.
This explanation is divided into two parts, covering the
two connections: connection to the [USB TO HOST]
terminal and connection to the [MIDI] terminal.
Connecting to the [USB TO HOST] terminal
When connecting the instrument to the computer via
USB, use a standard USB cable (having the USB logo)
to connect the [USB TO HOST] terminal on the
instrument to the USB terminal of the computer. Then,
install the USB MIDI driver.
n
About the [USB TO HOST] and [USB TO DEVICE] terminals
There are two different types of USB terminals on the instrument:
[USB TO HOST] and [USB TO DEVICE]. Take care not to confuse
the two terminals and the corresponding cable connectors.
Be careful to connect the proper plug in the proper direction.
Explanations on the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal follow in the next
section.
n
•The instrument will begin transmission a short time after the
USB connection is made.
• When using a USB cable to connect the instrument to your
computer, make the connection directly without passing
through a USB hub.
•For information on setting up your sequence software, refer to
the owner’s manual of the relevant software.
MIDI IN
Receives MIDI messages from an external
MIDI device.
MIDI OUT
Transmits MIDI messages generated by the
instrument.
MIDI THRU
Simply relays the MIDI messages received at
MIDI IN.
CAUTION
Precautions when using the [USB TO HOST] terminal
When connecting the computer to the [USB TO HOST] termi-
nal, make sure to observe the following points. Failing to do so
risks freezing the computer and corrupting or losing data. If the
computer or the instrument freezes, turn the power to the
instrument off and restart the computer.
• Before connecting the computer to the [USB TO HOST] ter-
minal, exit from any power-saving mode of the computer
(such as suspended, sleep, standby), and quit any open appli-
cation software, also turns off the power to the instrument.
• Execute the following before turning the power to the instru-
ment off or unplugging the USB cable to/from the instrument/
computer.
- Quit any open application software on the computer.
- Make sure that data is not being transmitted from the
instrument. (Data is transmitted only by playing notes on
the keyboard or playing back a song.)
While a USB device is connected to the instrument, you
should wait for six seconds or more between these
operations: When turning the power of the instrument
off then on again, or when alternately connecting/dis-
connecting the USB cable.

Connection by [MIDI] terminals
There are two ways to connect the instrument via
MIDI to a computer. If you have a MIDI interface built
into your computer, connect the MIDI OUT terminal
of the computer interface to the [MIDI IN] terminal of
the instrument, and connect the [MIDI OUT] terminal
of the instrument to the MIDI IN terminal of the inter-
face.
The second connection possibility involves a sepa-
rate, external MIDI interface connected to the com-
puter via a USB port or a serial port (modem or
printer terminal). Using standard MIDI cables, con-
nect the MIDI OUT terminal of the external interface
to the [MIDI IN] terminal of the instrument, and con-
nect the [MIDI OUT] terminal of the instrument to the
MIDI IN terminal of the interface.
n
Make sure to use the appropriate MIDI interface for your com-
puter.
9
Connecting to a USB-type LAN Adap-
tor and USB Storage Device
(via the [USB TO DEVICE] Terminal)
There are two ways of using the [USB TO DEVICE] ter-
minal on the bottom panel of the instrument. (The CVP-
309 has two terminals.)
By connecting the USB-type LAN adaptor, you can
directly access special Internet websites for down-
loading music data (page 170).
By connecting the instrument to a USB storage
device with a standard USB cable, you can save data
you’ve created to the connected device, as well as
read data from the connected device.
n
About the [USB TO HOST] and [USB TO DEVICE] terminals
There are two different types of USB terminals on the instrument:
[USB TO HOST] and [USB TO DEVICE]. Take care not to confuse
the two terminals and the corresponding cable connectors.
Be careful to connect the proper plug in the proper direction.
Explanations on the [USB TO HOST] terminal can be found in the
previous section.
Using USB Storage Devices
This type is used to connect the instrument to a USB
storage device, and allows you to save data you’ve cre-
ated to the connected device, as well as read data from
the connected device. The following description gener-
ally explains about how to connect and use them.
Compatible USB storage devices
Up to two USB storage devices, such as a floppy disk
drive, hard disk drive, CD-ROM drive, flash memory
reader/writer, etc., can be connected to the [USB TO
DEVICE] terminal. (If necessary, use a USB hub.)
Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or
mouse cannot be used. The instrument does not nec-
essarily support all commercially available USB stor-
age devices. Yamaha cannot guarantee operation of
USB storage devices that you purchase. Before pur-
chasing USB storage devices, please consult your
Yamaha dealer, or an authorized Yamaha distributor
(see list at end of the Owner’s Manual) for advice, or
see the following web page:
http://www.yamahaclavinova.com/
n
CD-ROM drive
Although CD-R/RW drives can be used to read data to the instru-
ment, they cannot be used for saving data.
1
Connect the USB storage device to the [USB TO
DEVICE] terminal with a standard USB cable.
2
After that, exit once from the selection display
then return to the display (or press the Tab
switch buttons [
] and [
®
] simultaneously from
the selection display). The USB tabs (USB 1, USB
2, etc.) are automatically called up, allowing you
to save files and play back music data from the
devices.
n
USB hub
If you are connecting two or three devices at the same time (such
as two USB storage devices and a LAN adaptor), use a USB hub
device. (Even if you use a hub, only a maximum of two USB stor-
age devices can be used.) The USB hub must be self-powered
(with its own power source) and the power must be on. Only one
USB hub can be used. If an error message appears while using the
USB hub, disconnect the hub from the instrument, then turn on
the power of the instrument and re-connect the USB hub.
n
About the USB Tabs
The tabs indicating the connected USB devices (USB 1, USB 2,
etc.) may be displayed up to USB 20 for each device or partition.
The numbers are not fixed and may change according to the order
in which the devices are connected and disconnected.

n
Though the instrument supports the USB 1.1 standard, you can
connect and use a USB 2.0 storage device with the instrument.
However, note that the transfer speed is that of USB 1.1.
Formatting USB storage media
When a USB storage device is connected or media is
inserted, a message may appear prompting you to format
the device/media. If so, execute the Format operation
(page 62).
CAUTION
The format operation overwrites any previously existing data.
Proceed with caution.
CAUTION
Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB storage
device, or connecting/disconnecting the cable too often. Doing
so may result in the operation of the instrument “freezing” or
hanging up. While the instrument is accessing data (such as in
the Save, Copy and Delete operations), do NOT unplug the
USB cable, do NOT remove the media from the device, and do
NOT turn the power off to either device. Doing so may corrupt
the data on either or both devices.
To protect your data (write-protect):
To prevent important data from being inadvertently erased,
apply the write-protect provided with each storage device
or media. If you are saving data to the USB storage device,
make sure to disable write-protect.

What is MIDI?
Put simply, MIDI is a data transfer standard that allows
easy and comprehensive control among electronic/digi-
tal music instruments and other devices. To get a better
idea of what MIDI does, let’s first consider acoustic
instruments, such as a grand piano and a classical gui-
tar. With the piano, you strike a key, and a hammer
inside hits some strings and plays a note. With the gui-
tar, you directly pluck a string and the note sounds.
But how does a digital instrument go about playing a
note?
As shown in the illustration above, in an electronic
instrument the sampling note (previously recorded
note) stored in the tone generator section (electronic
circuit) is played based on information received from
the keyboard.
Now, let’s examine what happens when we playback a
recording. When you play back a music CD (for exam-
ple, a solo piano recording), you’re hearing the actual
sound (vibration in air) of the acoustic instrument. This
is called audio data, to distinguish it from MIDI data.
In the above example, the actual acoustic sounds of the
pianist’s performance are captured in the recording as
audio data, and this is recorded to CD. When you play
back that CD on your audio system, you can hear the
actual piano performance. The piano itself is not neces-
sary, since the recording contains the actual sounds of
the piano, and your speakers reproduce them.
Copying files from a computer hard disk to a
USB storage device
Files contained on the hard disk of a computer can be
transferred to the instrument by first copying them to the
storage media, then connecting/inserting the media to the
instrument.
Not only files created on the instrument itself but also
Standard MIDI files and Style File-formatted Style files cre-
ated on other devices can be copied to SmartMedia card
or a USB storage device from the hard disk of the com-
puter. Once you’ve copied the data, insert the card into
the Card slot or connect the device to the [USB TO
DEVICE] terminal of the instrument, and play back the
data on the instrument.

What is MIDI?
n
In the case of digital instruments, the audio signals are sent
through output jacks (such as [AUX OUT]) on the instrument.
The “controller” and “tone generator” in the illustration
above are equivalent to the piano in our acoustic exam-
ple. Here, the player’s performance on the keyboard is
captured as MIDI song data (see illustration below). In
order to record the audio performance on an acoustic
piano, special recording equipment is needed. How-
ever, since the Clavinova features a built-in sequencer
that lets you record performance data, this recording
equipment is unnecessary. Instead, your digital instru-
ment—the Clavinova—allows you to both record and
play back the data.
However, we also need a sound source to produce the
audio, which eventually comes from your speakers. The
tone generator of the Clavinova fills this function. The
recorded performance is reproduced by the sequencer,
playing back the song data, using a tone generator
capable of accurately producing various instrument
sounds—including that of a piano. Looked at in another
way, the relation of the sequencer and the tone genera-
tor is similar to that of the pianist and the piano—one
plays the other. Since digital instruments handle play-
back data and the actual sounds independently, we can
hear our piano performance played by another instru-
ment, such as guitar or violin.
n
Even though it is a single musical instrument, the Clavinova can
be thought of as containing several electronic components: a con-
troller, a tone generator, and a sequencer.
Finally, we’ll take a look at the actual data that gets
recorded and that serves as the basis for playing the
sounds. For example, let’s say you play a “C” quarter
note using the grand piano sound on the Clavinova key-
board. Unlike an acoustic instrument that puts out a
resonated note, the electronic instrument puts out infor-
mation from the keyboard such as “with what voice,
“with which key,” “about how strong,” “when was it
pressed” and “when was it released.Then each piece
of information is changed into a number value and sent
to the tone generator. Using these numbers as a basis
for sound generation, the tone generator plays the
stored sampled note.
Example Keyboard Data
Panel operations on the Clavinova, such as playing the
keyboard and selecting voices, are processed and
stored as MIDI data. The auto accompaniment Styles
and Songs also consist of MIDI data.
MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument
Digital Interface, which allows electronic musical
instruments to communicate with each other, by send-
ing and receiving compatible Note, Control Change,
Program Change and various other types of MIDI data,
or messages.
The Clavinova can control a MIDI device by transmit-
ting note related data and various types of controller
data. The Clavinova can be controlled by incoming
MIDI messages which automatically determine the tone
generator mode, select MIDI channels, voices and
effects, change parameter values and of course play the
voices specified for the various parts.
n
MIDI data has the following advantages over audio data:
•The amount of data is much less.
•The data can be effectively and easily edited, even to the point
of changing voices and transforming the data.
MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: Chan-
nel messages and System messages.
Channel Messages
The Clavinova is an electronic instrument that can han-
dle 16 MIDI channels (or reception of 32 channels for
MIDI data reception when using the [USB] terminal).
This is usually expressed as “it can play 16 instruments
at the same time.” Channel messages transmit informa-
tion such as Note ON/OFF, Program Change, for each
of the 16 channels.

What is MIDI?
n
The performance data of all Songs and Styles is handled as MIDI
data.
MIDI Channels
MIDI performance data is assigned to one of sixteen
MIDI channels. Using these channels, 1–16, the perfor-
mance data for sixteen different instrument parts can be
simultaneously sent over one MIDI cable.
Think of the MIDI channels as TV channels. Each TV
station transmits its broadcasts over a specific channel.
Your home TV set receives many different programs
simultaneously from several TV stations and you select
the appropriate channel to watch the desired program.
MIDI operates on the same basic principle. The trans-
mitting instrument sends MIDI data on a specific MIDI
channel (MIDI Transmit Channel) via a single MIDI
cable to the receiving instrument. If the receiving instru-
ment’s MIDI channel (MIDI Receive Channel) matches
the Transmit Channel, the receiving instrument will
sound according to the data sent by the transmitting

For example, several parts or channels can be transmit-
ted simultaneously, including the Style data (as shown
below).
Example: Recording a performance with the auto accompa-
niment (Style playback) sound of the Clavinova to an exter-
nal sequencer
As you can see, it is essential to determine which data is
to be sent over which MIDI channel when transmitting
MIDI data (page 198).
The Clavinova also allows you to determine how the
received data is played back (page 199).
System Messages
This is data that is used in common by the entire MIDI
system. These include System Exclusive messages for
transferring data unique to each instrument manufac-
turer and Realtime messages for controlling the MIDI
device.
The messages transmitted/received by the Clavinova are
shown in the MIDI Data Format and MIDI Implementa-
tion Chart in the separate Data List.
Message Name

What You Can Do With MIDI
What You Can Do With MIDI
Record your performance data (1–16 channels) using
the Clavinova’s auto accompaniment features on an
external sequencer (or computer with sequencer
software). After recording, edit the data with the
sequencer, then play it back on the Clavinova.
When you want to use the Clavinova as an XG-compat-
ible multi-timbral tone generator, set the receive part for
MIDI channels 1–16 to “SONG” in MIDI/USB 1 in
MIDI Receive (page 199).
Controlling from an external MIDI keyboard
MIDI Data Compatibility
This section covers basic information on data compati-
bility: whether or not other MIDI devices can playback
the data recorded by CVP-309/307, and whether or not
the CVP-309/307 can playback commercially available
song data or song data created for other instruments or
on a computer. Depending on the MIDI device or data
characteristics, you may be able to play back the data
without any problem, or you may have to perform some
special operations before the data can be played back.
If you run into problems playing back data, please refer
to the information below.
Sequence Formats
Song data is recorded and stored in a variety of different
systems, referred to as “sequence formats.
Playback is only possible when the sequence format of
the Song data matches that of the MIDI device. The
CVP-309/307 is compatible with the following formats.
SMF (Standard MIDI file)
This is the most common sequence format. Standard
MIDI Files are generally available as one of two types:
Format 0 or Format 1. Many MIDI devices are compati-
ble with Format 0, and most commercially available
software is recorded as Format 0.
•The CVP-309/307 is compatible with both Format 0
and Format 1.
• Song data recorded on the CVP-309/307 is automati-
cally saved as SMF Format 0.
ESEQ
This sequence format is compatible with many of
Yamaha’s MIDI devices, including the Clavinova series
instruments. This is a common format used with various
Yamaha software.
•The CVP-309/307 is compatible with ESEQ.
XF
The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard
MIDI File) standard with greater functionality and open-
ended expandability for the future. The Clavinova is
capable of displaying lyrics when an XF file containing
lyric data is played. (SMF is the most common format
used for MIDI sequence files. The Clavinova is compati-
ble with SMF Formats 0 and 1, and records “song” data
using SMF Format 0.)
Style File
The Style File Format combines all of Yamaha’s auto
accompaniment know-how into a single unified format.
Voice Allocation Format
With MIDI, Voices are assigned to specific numbers,
called “program numbers.The numbering standard
(order of voice allocation) is referred to as the “voice
allocation format.
Voices may not play back as expected unless the voice
allocation format of the song data matches that of the
compatible MIDI device used for playback. The CVP-
309/307 is compatible with the following formats.
n
Even if the devices and data used satisfy all the conditions above,
the data may still not be completely compatible, depending on the
specifications of the devices and particular data recording meth-
ods.
GM System Level 1
This is one of the most common voice allocation for-
mats.
Many MIDI devices are compatible with GM System
Level 1, as is most commercially available software.
GM System Level 2
“GM System Level 2” is a standard specification that
enhances the original “GM System Level 1” and
improves Song data compatibility. It provides for
increased polyphony, greater voice selection, expanded
voice parameters, and integrated effect processing.
XG
XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1
format, and was developed by Yamaha specifically to
provide more Voices and variations, as well as greater
expressive control over Voices and effects, and to
ensure compatibility of data well into the future.
Song data recorded on the CVP-309/307 using Voices
in the XG category is XG-compatible.
DOC (Disk Orchestra Collection)
This voice allocation format is compatible with many of
Yamaha’s MIDI devices, including the Clavinova series
instruments.
GS
GS was developed by the Roland Corporation.
In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major enhance-
ment of the GM specifically to provide more Voices and
Drum kits and their variations, as well as greater expres-
sive control over Voices and effects.

Template name Description
All Parts
Transmits all parts including the keyboard parts (RIGHT1, 2,and LEFT), with the excep-
tion of Song parts.
KBD & STYLE
Basically the same as “All Parts” with the exception of how keyboard parts are man-
aged. The right-hand parts are handled as “UPPER” instead of RIGHT 1 and 2 and the
left-hand part is handled as “LOWER.
Master KBD
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
All transmit channels are set to correspond to Song channels 1–16. This is used to play
Song data with an external tone generator and to record Song data to an external
sequencer.
Clock Ext
Playback (Song or Style) synchronizes with an external MIDI clock instead of the instru-
ment’s internal clock. This template should be used when you wish to set the tempo on
the MIDI device connected to the instrument.
MIDI Accord 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 play
melodies from the keyboard and control Style playback on the instrument with the left-
hand buttons.
MIDI Accord 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 Pedal 1
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 Pedal 2
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.

MIDI System Settings
The explanations here apply to the SYSTEM display to
be called up in step 4 of the “Basic Operation” on
page 196.
LOCAL CONTROL
Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When
Local Control is set to “ON,” the keyboard of the instru-
ment 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 control-
lers. 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 genera-
tor.
Clock setting, etc.
CLOCK
Determines whether the CVP-309/307 is controlled by
its own internal clock or a MIDI clock signal received
from an external device. INTERNAL is the normal Clock
setting when the CVP-309/307 is being used alone or as
a master keyboard to control external devices. If you
are using the CVP-309/307 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, or USB 2. In this case,
make sure that the external device is connected prop-
erly (e.g., to the CVP-309/307’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,
USB 1 or USB 2), the Tempo is indicated as “Ext.” in the
Main display.
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.
RECEIVE TRANSPOSE
Determines whether or not the instrument's transpose
setting (page 55) is applied to the note events received
by the instrument via MIDI.
START/STOP
Determines whether incoming FA (start) and FC (stop)
messages affect Song or Style playback.
MESSAGE SW
SYS/EX.
The “Tx” setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI Sys-
tem Exclusive messages on or off. The “Rx” setting turns
MIDI reception and recognition of MIDI System Exclu-
sive messages generated by external equipment on or
off.
CHORD SYS/EX.
The “Tx” setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI chord
exclusive data (chord detect. root and type) on or off.
The “Rx” setting turns MIDI reception and recognition
of MIDI chord exclusive data generated by external
equipment on or off.
MIDI Transmit Settings
The explanations here apply to the TRANSMIT display
to be called up in step 4 of the “Basic Operation” on
page 196. This determines which parts will be sent as
MIDI data and over which MIDI channel the data will
be sent.
Operation
Select the part to be transmitted and the channel via
which the selected part will be transmitted. You can also
determine the types of data to be sent.
With the exception of the two parts below, the
configuration of the parts is the same as those
already explained elsewhere in this manual.
UPPER
The keyboard part played on the right side of the key-
board from the Split Point for the Voices (RIGHT1 and/
or 2).
LOWER
The keyboard part played on the left side of the keyboard
from the Split Point for the Voices. This is not affected by
the on/off status of the [ACMP ON/OFF] button.

MIDI Receive Settings
The explanations here apply to the RECEIVE display to
be called up in step 4 of the “Basic Operation” on
page 196. This determines which parts will receive
MIDI data and over which MIDI channels the data will
be received.
Operation
Select the channel to be received and the part via which
the selected channel will be received. You can also
determine the types of data to be received.
The Clavinova can receive MIDI messages over
32 channels (16 channels x 2 ports) by USB con-
nection.
With the exception of the two parts below, the
configuration of the parts is the same as those
already explained elsewhere in this manual.
KEYBOARD
The received note messages control the Clavinova’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 Clavinova can be
used as a 32-channel multi-timbral tone generator by
using these five parts in addition to the general parts
(except for the microphone sound).
Rx MONITOR
The dots corresponding to each channel (1–16) flash
briefly whenever any data is received on the channel(s).

Parameter Lock
You can “lock” specific parameters (e.g., effect, split
point, etc.) to make them selectable only via the panel
controls (page 126).
MIDI transmission/reception via the USB ter-
minal and MIDI terminals
The relationship between the [MIDI] terminals and the
[USB] terminal which can be used for transmitting/
receiving 32 channels (16 channels x 2 ports) of the
MIDI messages is as follows:
Setting the Bass Note for Style Playback
via MIDI Receive
The explanations here apply to the BASS display to be
called up in step 4 of the “Basic Operation” on
page 196.
These settings 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 chan-
nel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the bass note of the
chord of Style playback. The bass note will be detected
regardless of the [ACMP ON/OFF] or split point set-
tings. When several channels are simultaneously set to
“ON,” the bass note is detected from merged MIDI data
received over the channels.

The explanations here apply to the CHORD DETECT
display to be called up in step 4 of the “Basic Opera-
tion” on page 196.
These settings 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 chan-
nel(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 type
will be detected regardless of the [ACMP ON/OFF] or

neously set to “ON,” the chord type is detected from
merged MIDI data received over the channels.
The operation procedure is basically the same as that of
the BASS display above.

Troubleshooting
The Clavinova does not turn on.
Securely insert the female plug into the socket on the
Clavinova, and the male plug into a proper AC outlet.
A click or pop is heard when the power is turned on
or off.
Electrical current is being applied to the instrument. This
is normal.
Noise is heard from the Clavinova’s speakers.
Noise may be heard if a mobile phone is used near the
Clavinova or if the phone is ringing. Turn off the mobile
phone, or use it further away from the Clavinova.
The letters in the display cannot be read, because the
display is too bright (or dark).
Use the [LCD CONTRAST] knob to adjust for optimum
visibility.
Adjust the brightness of the display (page 19).
The overall volume is too low, or, no sound is heard.
•The master volume may be set too low. Set it to an
appropriate level with the [MASTER VOLUME] dial.
All keyboard parts are set to off. Use the PART ON/OFF
[RIGHT 1]/[RIGHT 2]/[LEFT] button to turn it on.
•The volume of the individual parts may be set too low.
Raise the volume in the BALANCE display (page 39).
Make sure the desired channel is set to ON (page 103).
Headphones are connected, disabling the speaker out-
put. (This happens when the speaker setting is set to
“HEADPHONE SW”; page 17.) Unplug the headphones.
Make sure the speaker setting is set to ON (page 17).
•The [FADE IN/OUT] button is on, muting the sound.
Press the [FADE IN/OUT] button to turn the function off.
Make sure the Local Control function is set to ON
(page 198).
Not all simultaneously played notes sound.
•You are probably exceeding the maximum polyphony
(page 213) of the CVP. When the maximum polyphony
is exceeded, the earliest played notes will stop sounding,
letting the latest played notes sound.
The keyboard volume is lower than the Song/Style
playback volume.
•The volume of the keyboard parts may be set too low.
Raise the volume in the BALANCE display (page 39).
Keys do not sound at the proper pitch.
Make sure the [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button is
set to OFF.
Certain notes sound at the wrong pitch.
The Scale parameter has probably been set to some-
thing other than “Equal,” changing the tuning system of
the keyboard. Make sure “Equal” is selected as the
Scale in the Scale Tune display (page 78).
- There is a slight difference in sound quality among
different notes played on the keyboard.
- Some Voices have a looping sound.
- Some noise or vibrato is noticeable at higher
pitches, depending upon the voice.
•This is normal and is a result of the Clavinova’s sampling
system.
Some Voices will jump an octave in pitch when played
in the upper or lower registers.
•This is normal. Some voices have a pitch limit which,
when reached, causes this type of pitch shift.
The Main display does not appear even when turning
the power on.
•This may occur if a USB storage device has been
installed to the instrument. Installation of some USB stor-
age device may result a long interval between turning
the power on and appearance of the Main display. To
avoid this, turn the power on after disconnecting the
device.
The main background image from the CD-ROM is not
displayed.
•This is because the Main display is loaded prior to load-
ing of the image from the CD-ROM. To remedy this,
copy the image data from the CD-ROM to the User dis-
play, then set it as the main background image (page 19).
The damper, sostenuto and soft functions do not
work for the relevant pedals.
•The pedal cord plug is not connected. Securely insert the
pedal cord plug into the proper jack (page 210).
Each pedal has been assigned to a different function.
Make sure that each pedal is properly assigned to SUS-
TAIN, SOSTENUTO, and SOFT (page 186).
Make sure the Registration Sequence function is set to
OFF (page 129).
Some characters of the file/folder name are garbled.
•The language settings have been changed. Set the appro-
priate language for the file/folder name (page 18).
An existing file is not shown.
•The file extension (.MID, etc.) may have been changed
or deleted. Manually rename the file, adding the appro-
priate extension, on a computer.
The data contained in the external media (SmartMe-
dia card, etc.) is not shown on the instrument itself.
Data files with names of more than 42 characters cannot
be handled by the instrument. Rename the file, reducing
the number of characters to 41 or less.

The file/folder copied or cut from one media (such as
a SmartMedia card, etc.) cannot be directly copied or
pasted to another media.
•This is normal. Since directly copying data is not possi-
ble, copy or paste the data once to the User display, then
copy or paste it again to the Card/USB display after
changing the media.
How can I stop the demo?
Press the [EXIT] button.
How can I leave the Help feature?
Press the [EXIT] button.
The Voice selected from the Voice Selection display
does not sound.
Check whether or not the selected part is turned on
(page 73).
•To select the Voice for the right-hand key range, press the
PART SELECT [RIGHT 1] button. For the Voice to be lay-
ered in the right-hand range, press the PART SELECT
[RIGHT 2] button. To select the Voice for the left-hand
key range, press the PART SELECT [LEFT] button.
A strange “flanging” or “doubling” sound occurs. The
sound is slightly different each time the keys are
played.
•The RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 parts are set to “ON,” and
both parts are set to play the same Voice. Turn off the
RIGHT 2 part or change the Voice of one of the parts.
The sound seems strange or different than expected
when changing a rhythm Voice (drum kit, etc.) of the
Style or Song from the Mixer.
When changing the rhythm/percussion Voices (drum
kits, etc.) of the Style and Song from the VOICE parame-
ter, the detailed settings related to the drum voice are
reset, and in some cases you may be unable to restore
the original sound. In the case of Song playback, you
can restore the original sound by returning to the begin-
ning of the Song and playing back from that point. In the
case of Style play, you can restore the original sound by
selecting the same Style again.
Tremolo/Trill cannot be applied to the Organ Flute
Voice.
•This is normal; Tremolo and Trill settings in the Har-
mony/Echo display are not effective for Organ Flute
Voices.
The Harmony function does not operate.
Harmony cannot be used with the Full Keyboard or AI
Full Keyboard fingering modes. Select an appropriate
fingering mode (page 101).
When a Voice is changed, the previously selected
effect is changed.
Each Voice has its own suitable preset settings, which are
automatically recalled when the corresponding Voice
Set parameters are turned on (page 100).
The Voice produces excessive noise.
Certain Voices may produce noise, depending on the
Harmonic Content and/or Brightness settings in the FIL-
TER page of the Mixing Console display (page 84).
The sound is distorted or noisy.
•The volume may be turned up too high. Make sure all
relevant volume settings are appropriate.
•This may be caused by certain effects. Try canceling all
unnecessary effects, especially distortion-type effects
(page 86).
Some filter resonance settings in the Sound Creator dis-
play (page 95) can result in distorted sound. Adjust these
settings if necessary.
Noise may occur depending on the settings made in the
Filter display of the Mixing Console. Adjust the Har-
monic Content or Brightness controls in the Filter display
(page 84).
The sound does not change when replacing Voices
with the Song Auto Revoice feature.
Depending on the particular Song data, there are some
instances where Song Auto Revoice has no effect, even
when replacing Voices.
The sound of the Voice doesn’t change, even when
editing the Voice.
•Keep in mind that adjustments made to the parameters
may not make much change in the actual sound depend-
ing on the original settings of the Voice.
Voices other than those in the Preset display cannot
be selected for Step recording.
•This is normal.
Calibration is aborted.
(CVP-309 grand piano type)
If you close the lid completely or to the shorter stay
while performing the calibration, the calibration will be
aborted. Perform the calibration once again after open-
ing the lid with the longer stay.
•The speaker is turned off. Perform the calibration once
again after turning the speaker on (page 17).
If any low-range noise (such as an air conditioner or traf-
fic) is audible around the Clavinova during the calibra-
tion, the calibration may abort and the settings may be
reset to their default values. Perform the calibration once
again after eliminating the noise.

If the size of the Style data is large (120 KB or greater),
the Style cannot be selected because the data is too large
to be ready by the instrument.
The desired chord is not recognized or output by the
auto accompaniment.
•You may not be playing the correct keys for indicating
the chord. Refer to “Chord Types Recognized in the Fin-
gered Mode” of the separate Data List.
•You may be playing the keys according to a different fin-
gering mode, and not the one currently selected. Check
the accompaniment mode, and play the keys according
to the selected mode (page 102).
Synchro Stop cannot be turned on.
Synchro Stop cannot be turned on when the fingering
mode is set to “Full Keyboard” or “AI Full Keyboard,” or
when Style On/Off is set to off. Make sure the fingering
mode is set to something besides “Full Keyboard” or “Al
Full Keyboard” and set Style On/Off to on.
Auto accompaniment chords are recognized regard-
less of the split point or where chords are played on
the keyboard.
•This is normal if the fingering mode is set to “Full Key-
board” or “AI Full Keyboard.” If either of these is
selected, chords are recognized over the entire range of
the keyboard, irrespective of the split point setting. If
desired, select a different fingering mode (page 102).
When playing back one Style and selecting another,
the newly selected Style doesn’t play at the proper
Tempo.
•This is normal; the Tempo setting remains constant when
changing Styles.
Starting a Song while playing back a Style stops Style
playback.
This is because Song playback has priority. The two ways

•The bank containing the Registration has not been
selected. Select the appropriate bank (page 126).
When using the Freeze function of the Registration
Memory, the On/Off setting of the Left Part does not
change even when changing the Registration Mem-
ory setting.
•The Left Part On/Off setting is included in the Style
group. Remove the checkmark from “STYLE” in the
Freeze setting display (page 127).
Even though a Registration Memory setting contain-
ing a User/Card voice is selected, the File Selection
display shows a Preset Voice.
•This is normal; even with the Preset Voice shown, the
actual sounding Voice is the selected User/Card Voice.
When a User/Card Voice is saved to the User/Card drive,
the actual data is divided into two separate types: 1) the
source Preset Voice itself, and 2) the parameter settings
as set in the Sound Creator. When you recall a Registra-
tion Memory setting containing a User/Card Voice, the
Clavinova selects the Preset voice (on which the User/
Card Voice is based), then applies the relevant parameter
settings to it—so that your original User/Card Voice is
sounded.

Harmony can be heard in addition to the microphone
sound.
•Vocal Harmony is set to “ON.Turn Vocal Harmony off
(page 54).
The Vocal Harmony effect sounds distorted or out-of-
tune.
Your vocal microphone may be picking up extraneous
sounds, such as the Style sound from the instrument. In
particular, bass sounds can cause mistracking of the Vocal
Harmony. To remedy this:
Sing as closely to the microphone as possible.
Use a directional microphone.
•Turn down the Master volume, Style volume, or Song
volume control (page 39).
Separate the microphone from the external speakers as
much as possible.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INFORMATION RELATING TO PERSONAL INJURY, ELECTRICAL SHOCK,
AND FIRE HAZARD POSSIBILITIES HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN THIS LIST.
WARNING
- When using any electrical or electronic product,
basic precautions should always be followed. These precautions
include, but are not limited to, the following:
1.
Read all Safety Instructions, Installation Instructions, Spe-
cial Message Section items, and any Assembly Instructions
found in this manual BEFORE making any connections, includ-
ing connection to the main supply.
2.
Main Power Supply Verification: Yamaha products are
manufactured specifically for the supply voltage in the area
where they are to be sold. If you should move, or if any doubt
exists about the supply voltage in your area, please contact your
dealer for supply voltage verification and (if applicable) instruc-
tions. The required supply voltage is printed on the name plate.
For name plate location, please refer to the graphic found in the
Special Message Section of this manual.
3.
This product may be equipped with a polarized plug (one
blade wider than the other). If you are unable to insert the plug
into the outlet, turn the plug over and try again. If the problem
persists, contact an electrician to have the obsolete outlet
replaced. Do NOT defeat the safety purpose of the plug.
4.
Some electronic products utilize external power supplies
or adapters. Do NOT connect this type of product to any power
supply or adapter other than one described in the owners manual,
on the name plate, or specifically recommended by Yamaha.
5.
WARNING:
Do not place this product or any other
objects on the power cord or place it in a position where anyone
could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over power or connect-
ing cords of any kind. The use of an extension cord is not recom-
mended! If you must use an extension cord, the minimum wire
size for a 25’ cord (or less) is 18 AWG. NOTE: The smaller the
AWG number, the larger the current handling capacity. For
longer extension cords, consult a local electrician.
6.
Ventilation: Electronic products, unless specifically
designed for enclosed installations, should be placed in locations
that do not interfere with proper ventilation. If instructions for
enclosed installations are not provided, it must be assumed that
unobstructed ventilation is required.
7.
Temperature considerations: Electronic products should
be installed in locations that do not significantly contribute to
their operating temperature. Placement of this product close to
heat sources such as; radiators, heat registers and other devices
that produce heat should be avoided.
8.
This product was NOT designed for use in wet/damp loca-
tions and should not be used near water or exposed to rain.
Examples of wet/damp locations are; near a swimming pool,
spa, tub, sink, or wet basement.
9.
This product should be used only with the components
supplied or; a cart, rack, or stand that is recommended by the
manufacturer. If a cart, rack, or stand is used, please observe all
safety markings and instructions that accompany the accessory
product.
10.
The power supply cord (plug) should be disconnected
from the outlet when electronic products are to be left unused for
extended periods of time. Cords should also be disconnected
when there is a high probability of lightning and/or electrical
storm activity.
11.
Care should be taken that objects do not fall and liquids
are not spilled into the enclosure through any openings that may
exist.
12.
Electrical/electronic products should be serviced by a
qualified service person when:
a. The power supply cord has been damaged; or
b. Objects have fallen, been inserted, or liquids have been
spilled into the enclosure through openings; or
c. The product has been exposed to rain: or
d. The product dose not operate, exhibits a marked change
in performance; or
e. The product has been dropped, or the enclosure of the
product has been damaged.
13.
Do not attempt to service this product beyond that
described in the user-maintenance instructions. All other servic-
ing should be referred to qualified service personnel.
14.
This product, either alone or in combination with an
amplifier and headphones or speaker/s, may be capable of pro-
ducing sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss.
DO NOT operate for a long period of time at a high volume level
or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing
loss or ringing in the ears, you should consult an audiologist.
IMPORTANT: The louder the sound, the shorter the time period
before damage occurs.
15.
Some Yamaha products may have benches and/or acces-
sory mounting fixtures that are either supplied as a part of the
product or as optional accessories. Some of these items are
designed to be dealer assembled or installed. Please make sure
that benches are stable and any optional fixtures (where applica-
ble) are well secured BEFORE using. Benches supplied by
Yamaha are designed for seating only. No other uses are recom-
mended.

WARNING Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following: Power supply/Power cord Water warning • Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument. • Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it. • Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings. • Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands. • Use only the supplied power cord/plug. • Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it. Fire warning • Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall over and cause a fire. If you notice any abnormality Do not open • Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. • If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. CAUTION Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following: Power supply/Power cord Location • When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it. • Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms. • Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components. • Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet. • Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise. • Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over. Assembly • Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables. • Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly process. Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might result in damage to the instrument or even injury. • When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level. Maintenance • (CVP-309 including grand piano type) Gently remove dust and dirt with a soft cloth. Do not wipe too hard since small particles of dirt can scratch the instrument's finish. • When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. • Do not place the bench in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over. • Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or stepladder or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury. • Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the possibility of accident or injury. • (CVP-309 including grand piano type) Do not attempt to adjust the bench height while sitting on the bench, since this can cause excessive force to be imposed on the adjustment mechanism, possibly resulting in damage to the mechanism or even injury. • If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten them periodically using the included tool. Saving data Saving and backing up your data Handling caution • Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or instrument. • Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the key cover, panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. • The data of the types listed below are lost when you turn off the power to the instrument. Save the data to the USER tab display (page 26), floppy disk, SmartMedia card, or appropriate external media. • Recorded/Edited Songs (page 41, 137, 152) • Created/Edited Styles (page 111) • Edited Voices (page 93) • Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard. • Memorized One Touch Settings (page 50) • Edited MIDI settings (page 196) • (CVP-309 including grand piano type) Bumping the surface of the instrument with metal, porcelain, or other hard objects can cause the finish to crack or peel. Use caution. Data in the USER tab display (page 26) may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Save important data to a floppy disk, SmartMedia card, or external media. • Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors. • Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician. When you change settings in a display page and then exit from that page, System Setup data (listed in the Parameter Chart of the separate Data List booklet) is automatically stored. However, this edited data is lost if you turn off the power without properly exiting from the relevant display. Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed. Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Authentic Acoustic Piano-like Touch Introduction Natural Wood Keyboard (CVP-309 including grand piano type) The special Natural Wood keyboard of the CVP-309 uses real-wood white keys, to reproduce as closely as possible the experience of playing an actual acoustic grand piano. The authentic touch and feel of the keys goes far beyond existing electronic keyboards, realistically recreating the hardness of the keys, the balance between the weight of the key and hammer, and the characteristic weight gradations of the keys – heavy in the low end, light in the high register – to make you feel as if you’re playing a real grand piano. Moreover, this specially crafted keyboard lets you use techniques only possible on grand pianos, such as playing the same note successively and having the sounds blend smoothly even without use of the damper pedal, or playing the same key quickly and having perfect articulation without the sound cutting off unnaturally. GH3 Keyboard (CVP-307) This feature provides authentic, realistic keyboard response – much like the playing feel of a grand piano – with the lower keys being heavy in touch, the higher keys light, and all the natural gradations in between. Moreover, this specially crafted keyboard lets you use techniques only possible on grand pianos, such as playing the same note successively and having the sounds blend smoothly even without use of the damper pedal, or playing the same key quickly and having perfect articulation without the sound cutting off unnaturally. The Acoustic Ambience of a Grand Piano —with the iAFC Feature Turn on the iAFC (Instrumental Active Field Control) effect, and hear the sound expand around you, as if you’re playing on stage in a concert hall. The overall sound is deeper and more resonant, especially when using the damper pedal, recreating and emphasizing the natural sounds of true acoustic instruments. Playing the Clavinova Playing Piano Voices ................................................................. page 28 With just the press of a button, you can reconfigure the entire Clavinova for optimum piano performance, no matter what settings you’ve made from the panel. Now you can enjoy performing and practicing with authentic grand piano sounds and response—instantly. PIANO Playing Other Instrument Voices ..............................................page 31 The Clavinova gives you not only various realistic piano Voices, but also features an exceptionally wide variety of authentic instruments, both acoustic and electronic.

SONG SELECT Introduction Ease in Playing Backing Parts with Songs,, —performance assistant technology ........................................ page 42 The new performance assistant technology features make it exceptionally easy to play professional-sounding backing parts along with Song playback. Playing Melodies along with Auto Accompaniment,, —Style Playback......................................................................... page 44 Use the Style playback features to automatically produce full backing parts and accompaniment, while you play melodies on top. It’s like having an expert ensemble playing behind you. Select an accompaniment Style—such as pop, jazz, Latin, etc.— and let the Clavinova be your backing band! STYLE SELECT Practicing Displaying and Playing along with the Music Score ................page 56 While playing back a Song, you can have the music score (notation) automatically shown on the display—an exceptionally convenient tool for learning and practicing pieces. SCORE Guide Lamps...............................................................................page 38 The key guide lamps are also helpful in learning and practicing, since they indicate the notes you should play, when you should play them, and how long you should hold them down. Recording Your Performances .................................................. page 41 The Clavinova lets you easily record your own performances and save them to internal memory or a SmartMedia card. This, too, is an excellent practice tool, letting you listen back to your playing and spot your strong and weak points.

For instructions on installing the floppy disk drive, see page 212.) CAUTION Do not remove the floppy disk or turn off the instrument itself while the disk is being accessed. Doing so may result not only in loss of data on the disk but also damage to the floppy disk drive. • Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive before turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt that can cause data-read and -write errors. Floppy Disk Compatibility Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head • 3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used. • Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument employs a precision magnetic read/write head which, after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of magnetic particles from the disks used that will eventually cause read and write errors. • To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order Yamaha recommends that you use a commercially-available dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the availability of proper headcleaning disks. Formatting a Floppy Disk • If you find that you are unable to use new, blank disks or old disks that have been used with other devices, you may need to format them. For details on how to format a disk, see page 62. Keep in mind that all data on the disk will be lost after formatting. Make sure to check beforehand whether or not the disk contains important data. n Floppy disks formatted on this device may or may not be useable as is on other devices. Inserting/Removing Floppy Disks Inserting a Floppy Disk into the Disk Drive: • Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing upward and the sliding shutter is facing forward, towards the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly pushing it all the way in until it clicks into place and the eject button pops out. n Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy disks. Removing a Floppy Disk • After checking that the instrument is not accessing* the floppy disk (checking that the use lamp on the floppy disk drive is off), firmly press the eject button at the upper right of the disk slot all the way in. When the floppy disk is ejected, pull it out of the drive. If the floppy disk cannot be removed because it is stuck, do not try to force it, but instead try pressing the eject button again, or try re-inserting the disk and attempt to eject it again. * Access of the disk indicates an active operation, such as recording, playback, or deletion of data. If a floppy disk is inserted while the power is on, the disk is automatically accessed, since the instrument checks whether the disk has data. Introduction The floppy disk drive lets you save original data you’ve created on the instrument to floppy disk, and allows you to load data from floppy disk to the instrument. Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with care. Follow the important precautions below. About Floppy Disks Handle floppy disks with care, and follow these precautions: • Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep floppy disks in their protective cases when they are not in use. • Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids. • Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed surface of the floppy disk inside. • Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since magnetic fields can partially or completely erase data on the disk, rendering it unreadable. • Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or housing. • Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a floppy disk. Also make sure that labels are attached in the proper location. To Protect Your Data (Write-protect Tab): • To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the disk's write-protect tab to the “protect” position (tab open). When saving data, make sure that the disk's write-protect tab is set to the “overwrite” position (tab closed). Write-protect tab open (protect position) CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual 21 CVP-309_E.book Page 22 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Handling SmartMedia *Memory Cards TM Introduction *SmartMedia is a trademark of Toshiba Corporation. This instrument features a built-in SmartMedia card slot (on the front panel). It lets you save original data you’ve created on the instrument to a SmartMedia card, and allows you to load data from a card to the instrument. Be sure to handle SmartMedia cards with care. Follow the important precautions below. About SmartMedia Cards Compatible SmartMedia Types Handle SmartMedia cards with care, and follow these precautions: • 3.3V (3V) SmartMedia can be used. 5V type SmartMedia is not compatible with this instrument. • SmartMedia cards of seven different memory capacities of (2MB, 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, and 128MB) can be used with the instrument. SmartMedia cards greater than 32MB can be used if they conform to the SSFDC Forum standard. n SSFDC is an abbreviation for Solid State Floppy Disk Card (another name for SmartMedia cards). The SSFDC Forum is a voluntary organization established for the promotion of SmartMedia. Formatting SmartMedia Cards If you find that you are unable to use new, blank SmartMedia cards or cards that have been used with other devices, you may need to format them. For details on how to format a SmartMedia card, see page 62. Keep in mind that all data on the card will be lost after formatting.

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, Dynamic Sampling, Sustain Sampling, and Key-off Sampling. 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 some very sophisticated programming. Sweet! These acoustic instrument sounds also benefit from Yamaha’s sophisticated technology—and feature a sound so finely detailed and natural, you’ll swear you’re playing the real thing! Drums Various drum and percussion sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard. SFX Various special effect sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard. Organ Flutes! This authentic organ Voice lets you use the Sound Creator to adjust the various footages and craft your own original organ sounds. See page 97 for details. Mega Voice The Mega Voices are not intended to be played from the keyboard. They are primarily designed for use with recorded MIDI sequence data (such as songs and styles). Some of the guitar and bass Voices in particular have been created as Mega Voices for the Clavinova, and are easily distinguished from the normal Voices by their icons in the Voice Selection display. What makes Mega Voices special is their use of velocity switching. Normal Voices use velocity switching, too—to make the sound quality and/ or level of a Voice according to how strongly or softly you play it. This makes the Clavinova Voices sound authentic and natural. However, with Mega Voices, each velocity range (the measure of your playing strength) has a completely different sound. For example, a Mega guitar Voice 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 Mega Voices, 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. Live!Drums These are high-quality drum sounds taking full advantage of Stereo Sampling and Dynamic Sampling. Live!SFX These are high-quality Latin percussion sounds taking full advantage of Stereo Sampling and Dynamic sampling. They give you a broader and more versatile range of Latin percussion than the normal drum Voices. Mega Voices Compatibility Mega Voices are unique to the Clavinova and are not compatible with other models. Any song/ style data you’ve created on the Clavinova using the Mega Voices will not sound properly when played back on other instruments. 72 CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual CVP-309_E.book Page 73 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Playing Different Voices Simultaneously Playing Different Voices Simultaneously Reference The Clavinova keyboard features various functions and performance conveniences that are simply unavailable on an acoustic instrument. It allows you to play several different Voices together in a layer, or play one Voice with your left hand while you play a different Voice (or even two layered Voices!) with your right. Keyboard Parts (Right 1, Right 2, Left) Voices can be assigned independently to each keyboard part: Right 1, Right 2, and Left. You can combine these parts by using the PART ON/OFF buttons to create a rich, ensemble sound. ■ Playing a single Voice (Right 1 part) You can play a single Voice over the entire keyboard range. This is used for normal performance—for example, with the piano Voice.

CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual 75 CVP-309_E.book Page 76 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Enhancing the Acoustic Realism of the Sound (iAFC) Enhancing the Acoustic Realism of the Sound (iAFC) iAFC cannot be used in the following cases. • (CVP-309 grand piano type) When the lid is closed or open with the shorter stay. • When the Speaker setting is Headphones SW (page 17), and headphones are connected. • When the Speaker setting is Off. Using, Creating and Editing Voices When using iAFC, do not block or cover the speaker located on the underside of the keyboard (CVP-309 grand piano type) or the rear panel (CVP-309/307) of the Clavinova. The optimal iAFC effect cannot be obtained if this speaker is blocked. iAFC uses Yamaha’s EMR (Electronic Microphone Rotator) technology to ensure stability against acoustic feedback. When iAFC is engaged (the default setting is ON), the Clavinova will sound deeper and more resonant, similar to an acoustic musical instrument. Sounds picked up by a microphone and sounds produced internally by the Clavinova are processed and output from the rear speaker to enhance the acoustic realism of the sound. The iAFC processing is most effective with the grand piano Voice (the one selected by pressing the PIANO button). Turning on the iAFC of the CVP-309 grand piano type To turn on the iAFC, open the lid with the longer stay using the inner recess. When the lid is closed or open with the shorter stay, the iAFC will not be turned on. Selecting the iAFC Type and Adjusting the Depth This section describes how to adjust various iAFC settings, such as selecting the iAFC type and adjusting the depth. There are three iAFC types as shown below. Select the desired type: stage ambience simulation or acoustic piano resonance simulation. Each type consists of three sub-types. The depth can also be set for each type. 1 Press the [iAFC SETTING] button to call up the operation display. 1 1 2 3 2 2 4 5 6 3 7 8 4 Press one of the [2π†]–[4π†] buttons to select the iAFC type. If you select the “NATURAL SOUND BOARD” or “SPATIAL ENSEMBLE,” make sure to execute the calibration operation (page 77). • DYNAMIC DAMPER Effect This simulates the sustain sound that occurs when you press the damper pedal of a grand piano. The microphone is not used, but the sound produced within the Clavinova is processed to create a spacious sensation. 76 CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual CVP-309_E.book Page 77 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Enhancing the Acoustic Realism of the Sound (iAFC) • NATURAL SOUND BOARD This enhances the acoustic realism of the sound by recreating the resonance characteristics of acoustic instruments. When used on a grand piano sound, it produces a more natural-sounding piano. The sound of the instrument itself is picked up by a microphone, and processed to create a virtual soundboard. • SPATIAL ENSEMBLE Effect This lets you experience the ambience and reverberation that are characteristic of performing on stage. Ambience and reverberation are also added to the performance of the musicians playing together with you, letting you enjoy the sensation of playing together on stage. The sound of the instrument itself and the sound of singing and other instruments played nearby is picked up by a microphone, and processed to simulate the spatial characteristics of performing together on stage. 3 Press the [8π†] button to adjust the iAFC depth. Using, Creating and Editing Voices 4 Press one of the [5π†]–[7π†] buttons to select the iAFC setting (sub-type). Calibrating the iAFC Settings This automatically adjusts the sensitivity and response of iAFC so that the optimal iAFC effect will be obtained. Make sure to execute this operation when you select “NATURAL SOUND BOARD” or “SPATIAL ENSEMBLE.” 1 2 Press the [F] (MIC CALIBRATION) button in the iAFC operation display (page 76) to call up the calibration display. Press the [G] (CALIBRATION START) button to begin calibration. When calibration begins, a fairly loud harpsichord note will sound four times at a fixed interval. Calibration will end in approximately two and a half minutes. Note on using calibration While calibration is being performed, do not make audible noises in the vicinity of the Clavinova. If any extraneous sounds are made in the vicinity of the Clavinova during calibration, the calibration may abort, and the settings will reset to their default values. If this occurs, you should perform the calibration once again. If the iAFC effect is slight or inaudible: If it seems that iAFC is not effective when playing back Songs or Styles, turn the iAFC feature off. 1 Press the [iAFC SETTING] button to call up the operation display. 2 Press the [1†] button to turn iAFC off. 1 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual 77 CVP-309_E.book Page 78 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Changing Pitch Changing Pitch Transpose Transpose the pitch of the keyboard up or down (in semitones). • Transposing during performance You can easily set the desired transposition of the overall sound of the instrument by pressing the TRANSPOSE [–]/[+] buttons. • Transposing before performance Change the transpose settings in the MIXING CONSOLE display.

When the base note is changed, the pitch of the keyboard is transposed, yet maintains the original pitch relationship between the notes. Preset Scale Types 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. ARABIC Use these tunings when playing Arabic music. Instantly recalling the desired scale Register the desired scale to the Registration Memory. Be sure to checkmark the SCALE item when registering (page 125). Using, Creating and Editing Voices EQUAL TEMPERAMENT Cent: In musical terms a “cent” is 1/ 100th of a semitone.

Press the [VOICE EFFECT] button to call up the VOICE EFFECT display. 1 3 2 Use the buttons at the lower part of the display to apply effects to the Voices. Effect Parameters You can use a pedal to turn the Harmony/Echo effects on and off (page 186). Portamento: 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 (the pitch transition time) can be set via the MIXING CONSOLE display (page 84). HARMONY/ECHO The Harmony/Echo types are applied to the right-hand Voices (page 81). MONO/POLY This determines whether the part’s Voice is played monophonically (only one note at a time) or polyphonically. Using the MONO mode lets you play single, lead sounds (such as brass instruments) more realistically. It also lets you expressively control the Portamento effect (depending on the selected Voice) by playing legato. DSP/DSP VARIATION With the digital effects built into the Clavinova, you can add ambience and depth to your music in a variety of ways—such as adding reverb that makes you sound like you are playing in a concert hall. • The DSP switch is used to turn the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) effect on or off for the currently selected keyboard part. • The DSP Variation switch is used to change between variations of the DSP effect. You could use this while you play, for example, to change the rotating speed (slow/fast) of the rotary speaker effect. DSP: Stands for Digital Signal Processor (or Processing). DSP changes and enhances the audio signal in the digital realm to produce a wide range of effects. Selecting the Harmony/Echo type You can select the desired Harmony/Echo effect from a variety of types.

CVP-309_E.book Page 81 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Adding Effects to Voices Played on the Keyboard Harmony/Echo Types The Harmony/Echo types are divided into the following groups, depending on the particular effect applied. Harmony Types 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.) Echo Types These types apply echo effects to notes played in the right-hand section of the keyboard in time with the currently set tempo. Multi Assign Type This type applies a special effect to chords played in the right-hand section of the keyboard. Split point Split point Chord section for Style playback and Harmony effect Split Point Split Point (for Style) (for keyboard Voice) Chord section Left Voice for Style playback and Harmony effect Left Voice and chord section for Harmony effect Using, Creating and Editing Voices ● Harmony Types When one of the Harmony Types is selected, the Harmony effect is applied to notes played in the right-hand section of the keyboard according to the type selected above and the chord specified in the chord section of the keyboard shown below. Canceling the chord sound for the harmony effect This cancels the sound of the chord played in the chord range of the keyboard—letting you hear only the Harmony effect. Set [ACMP ON/OFF] to On, set [SYNC START] to Off, and select “Off” for the Stop Accompaniment parameter. Right 1 Right 2 Voices Right 1 Right 2 Voices ● Multi Assign Type Multi Assign effect automatically assigns notes played simultaneously in the right-hand section of the keyboard to separate parts (Voices). Both of the keyboard part [RIGHT 1] and [RIGHT 2] should be turned on when using the Multi Assign effect. The Right 1 and Right 2 Voices are alternately assigned to the notes in the order you play. ● Echo Types 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. CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual 81 CVP-309_E.book Page 82 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Editing the Volume and Tonal Balance (MIXING CONSOLE) Using, Creating and Editing Voices Harmony/Echo Settings 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. 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. TOUCH LIMIT 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). Editing the Volume and Tonal Balance (MIXING CONSOLE) The Mixing Console gives you intuitive control over aspects of the keyboard parts and Song/Style channels, including volume balance and the timbre of the sounds. It lets you adjust the levels and stereo position (pan) of each Voice to set the optimum balance and stereo image, and lets you set how the effects are applied.

CVP-309_E.book Page 89 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Editing the Volume and Tonal Balance (MIXING CONSOLE) EQ (Equalizer) Equalizer (also called “EQ”) is a sound processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple bands that can be boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall frequency response. Usually an equalizer is used to correct the sound from speakers to match the special character of the room. For example, you can cut some of the low range frequencies when playing in large spaces where the sound is too “boomy,” or boost the high frequencies in rooms and close spaces where the sound is relatively “dead” and free of echoes. The Clavinova possesses a high-grade fiveband digital EQ. With this function, a final effect—tone control can be added to the output of your instrument. You can select one of the five preset EQ settings in the EQ display. You can even create your own custom EQ settings by adjusting the frequency bands, and save the settings to one of two User Master EQ types.

CVP-309_E.book Page 91 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Editing the Volume and Tonal Balance (MIXING CONSOLE) Master Compressor 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. Compression can be used to increase sustain for electric guitar, smooth out the volume of a vocal, or bring a drum kit or rhythm pattern further up-front in the mix. The Clavinova has a sophisticated multi-band compressor that allows you to adjust the compression effect for individual frequency bands—giving you detailed sonic control. You can edit and save your own custom Compressor types, or conveniently select from one of the presets. ■ Selecting a Master Compressor type 1–3 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select a preset Master Compressor type.

The following covers in detail the editable parameters that are set in the displays explained in step 3 of the “Basic Procedure” on page 93. The Sound Creator parameters are organized into five different displays. The parameters in each display are described separately, below. These are also treated as part of the Voice Set parameters (page 100), which are automatically called up when the Voice is selected. Using, Creating and Editing Voices PIANO This display is available only when the Natural! piano Voice (page 72) is selected. TUNING CURVE Determines the tuning curve. Select “FLAT” if you feel the tuning curve of the piano Voice does not quite match that of other instruments Voices. STRETCH Tuning curve particularly for pianos FLAT Tuning curve in which the frequency is octave doubled over the entire keyboard range KEY OFF SAMPLE Adjusts the volume of the key-off sound (the subtle sound that occurs when you release a key). SUSTAIN SAMPLE Adjusts the depth of sustain sampling for the damper pedal. STRING RESONANCE Adjusts the depth of string resonance. COMMON Portamento Time: 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. 94 CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual VOLUME Adjusts the volume of the current edited Voice. TOUCH SENSE Adjusts the touch sensitivity, or how greatly the volume responds to your playing strength. A setting of “0” produces more extreme drops in level, the more softly you play, while a setting of “64” is normal response, and “127” produces high volume for any playing strength (fixed). PART OCTAVE Shifts the octave range of the edited Voice up or down in octaves. When the edited Voice is used as any of the RIGHT 1–2 parts, the R1/R2 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 (page 80). PORTAMENTO TIME Sets the portamento time when the edited Voice is set to “MONO” above. CONTROLLER 1. MODULATION When a pedal function is assigned to MODULATION, 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, see page 95. AMPLITUDE Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the amplitude (volume). LFO PMOD Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the pitch, or the vibrato effect. LFO FMOD Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the Filter modulation, or the wah effect. LFO AMOD Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the amplitude, or the tremolo effect. CVP-309_E.book Page 95 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Voice Creating (Sound Creator) 2. LEFT PEDAL This allows you to select the function to be assigned to the left pedal. FUNCTION Selects the function to be assigned to the left pedal. For details on the pedal functions, see page 186. [2π†]–[8π†] buttons (RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2, LEFT, etc.) Determines whether the assigned function is effective or not for the respective keyboard part. This also determines the depth for the function. For details, see page 187. 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. Using, Creating and Editing Voices Volume Cutoff frequency These frequencies are “passed” by the filter. HARMONIC CONTENT Frequency (pitch) Cutoff range Determines the emphasis given to the cutoff frequency (resonance), set in BRIGHTNESS above (see diagram). Higher values result in a more pronounced effect. Volume Resonance Frequency (pitch) CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual 95 CVP-309_E.book Page 96 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Voice Creating (Sound Creator) ● 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. Level Sustain level Using, Creating and Editing Voices ATTACK Key on DECAY Time RELEASE Key off ● VIBRATO Vibrato: 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. SPEED Pitch DEPTH DELAY Time EFFECT/EQ 1. REVERB DEPTH/CHORUS DEPTH/DSP DEPTH Switching the VIBE ROTOR on/off with a pedal You can use a pedal to switch the VIBE ROTOR on/off (when the VIBE ROTOR ON/OFF function is properly assigned; page 186). 96 CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual REVERB DEPTH Adjusts the reverb (page 87) depth.

CVP-309_E.book Page 99 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Voice Creating (Sound Creator) Editable Parameters in the SOUND CREATOR [ORGAN FLUTES] displays The following covers in detail the editable parameters that are set in the displays explained in step 3 of the “Basic Procedure” on page 97. The Organ Flutes parameters are organized into three different pages. The parameters in each page are described separately, below. These are also treated as part of the Voice Set parameters (page 100), which are automatically called up when the Voice is selected. FOOTAGE, VOLUME/ATTACK (common parameters) Specifies the type of organ tone generation to be simulated: Sine or Vintage. ROTARY SP SPEED Alternately switches between the slow and fast rotary speaker speeds when a rotary speaker effect is selected for the Organ Flutes (see “EFFECT/EQ” DSP TYPE parameter on page 97), and the Voice Effect DSP (page 97) is turned on (this parameter has the same effect as the Voice Effect VARIATION ON/OFF parameter). VIBRATO ON/OFF Alternately turns the vibrato effect for the Organ Flutes Voice ON or OFF. VIBRATO DEPTH Sets the Vibrato depth to one of three levels: 1 (low), 2 (mid), or 3 (high). Using, Creating and Editing Voices ORGAN TYPE FOOTAGE 16' ← → 5 1/3' Switches the controllable footage (by using the [D] button), between 16' and 5 1/3'. 16'–1' Determines the basic sound of the organ flutes. The longer the pipe, the lower the pitch of the sound. Hence, the 16' setting determines the lowest pitched component of the Voice, while the 1' setting determines the highest pitched component. The higher the value of the setting, the greater the volume of the corresponding footage. Mixing various volumes of the footages lets you create your own distinctive organ sounds. Footage: The term “footage” is a reference to the sound generation of traditional pipe organs, in which the sound is produced by pipes of different lengths (in feet). VOLUME/ATTACK VOL Adjusts the overall volume of the Organ Flutes. The longer the graphic bar, the greater the volume. RESP Affects both the attack and release (page 96) 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. VIBRATO SPEED Determines the speed of the vibrato effect controlled by the Vibrato On/Off and Vibrato Depth above. MODE The MODE control selects between two modes: FIRST and EACH. In the FIRST mode, attack 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. 4', 2 2/3', 2' These determine the attack sound volume of the ORGAN FLUTE Voice. The 4', 2-2/3' and 2' controls increase or reduce the volume of attack sound at the corresponding footages. The longer the graphic bar, the greater the attack sound volume. LENG Affects the attack portion of the sound producing a longer or shorter decay immediately after the initial attack. The longer the graphic bar, the longer the decay.

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. 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. Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles Pro Selecting a Chord Fingering Type Style playback can be controlled by the chords you play in the chord section of the keyboard. There are seven types of fingerings. 1 2 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION] → [C] STYLE SETTING/SPLIT POINT/CHORD FINGERING → TAB [®] CHORD FINGERING Press the [1π†]–[3π†] buttons to select a fingering. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual 101 CVP-309_E.book Page 102 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Playing Only the Rhythm Channels of a Style Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles SINGLE FINGER AI: Artificial Intelligence Starting the rhythm with Sync Start You can also start the rhythm simply by playing a key of the chord section of the keyboard, if Sync Start is enabled (turn on the [SYNC START] button). The rhythm does not sound for the Pianist Styles (or other similar Styles). When you want to use any of these Styles, always make sure that ACMP ON/OFF is turned on. 102 CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual Makes it simple to produce orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minor-seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys on the Chord section of the keyboard. This type is available only for Style playback. The abbreviated chord fingerings described at right are used: C For a major chord, press the root key only. Cm For a minor chord, simultaneously press the root key and a black key to its left. C7 For a seventh chord, simultaneously press the root key and a white key to its left. Cm 7 For a minor-seventh chord, simultaneously press the root key a both a white and black key to its left MULTI FINGER Automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered chord fingerings, so you can use either type of fingering without having to switch fingering types. FINGERED Lets you finger your own chords on the Chord section of the keyboard, while the CVP supplies appropriately orchestrated rhythm, bass, and chord accompaniment in the selected Style. The Fingered type recognizes the various chord types which are listed on the separate Data List booklet and can be looked up using the Chord Tutor function (page 48). FINGERED ON BASS Accepts the same fingerings as the Fingered, but the lowest note played in the Chord section of the keyboard is used as the bass note, allowing you to play “on bass” chords (in the Fingered mode the root of the chord is always used as the bass note). FULL KEYBOARD Detects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way similar to Fingered, even if you split the notes between your left and right hands—for example, playing a bass note with your left hand and a chord with your right, or by playing a chord with your left hand and a melody note with your right. AI FINGERED Basically the same as Fingered, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). AI FULL KEYBOARD When this advanced fingering type is engaged, the CVP will automatically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard using both hands. You don’t have to worry about specifying the Style chords. Although the AI Full Keyboard type is designed to work with many songs, some arrangements may not be suitable for use with this feature. This type is similar to Full Keyboard, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). 9th, 11th and 13th chords cannot be played. This type is available only for Style playback. Playing Only the Rhythm Channels of a Style Rhythm is one of the most important parts of a Style. Try to play the melody along with just the rhythm. You can sound different rhythms for each Style. Keep in mind, however, that not all Styles contain rhythm channels. 1 2 3 4 Select a Style (page 45). Press the [ACMP ON/OFF] to turn Auto Accompaniment off. Press the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button to play back the rhythm channels. Press the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button to stop the rhythm. CVP-309_E.book Page 103 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Playing Only the Rhythm Channels of a Style Turning channels of the Style on/off A Style contains eight channels: RHY1 (Rhythm 1) – PHR2 (Phrase 2). You can add variations and change the feeling of a Style by selectively turning channels on/off as the Style plays. 1 Press the [CHANNEL ON/OFF] button to call up the CHANNEL ON/ OFF display. When the STYLE tab is not selected, press the [CHANNEL ON/OFF] button again. 2 Press the [1†]–[8†] buttons to turn the channels on or off. To listen to only one instrument by itself, hold down the appropriate button for the channel to set the channel to SOLO. To cancel SOLO, simply press the appropriate channel button again. Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles Playing the chords in free tempo (without Style playback) You can have the accompaniment chords sound without playing back the Style, by setting [ACMP ON/OFF] to on, and [SYNC START] to off. For example, if MULTI FINGER is selected (page 102), you can perform with your own pace while sounding the chord by pressing the chord section of the keyboard with your one finger. Setting the fade in/out time You can set the time of the fade in and fade out (page 47). 1 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION] → [I] UTILITY → TAB[√] CONFIG 1 → [A] FADE IN/OUT/ HOLD TIME 2 Set the parameters related to fade in/out by using the [3π†]– [5π†] buttons. FADE IN TIME Determines the time it takes for the volume to fade in, or go from minimum to maximum.

CVP-309_E.book Page 105 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Style Playback-related Settings • Stop Accompaniment When [ACMP ON/OFF] is turned on and [SYNC START] is off, 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 display. From the display in page 104, you can determine whether the chord played in the chord section will sound or not in the Stop Accompaniment status. OFF...............................The chord played in the chord section will not sound. STYLE ...........................The chord played in the chord section will sound via the Voices of the selected Style. FIXED ...........................The chord played in the chord section will sound via the specified Voice, regardless of the selected Style. • OTS Link Timing This applies to the OTS Link function (page 50). 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.) Data that is recorded when recording a Song Please note that 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.” 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. Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles • 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 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. • Style Touch 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. • 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.

The created Styles can be edited. Style Structure Styles are made up of fifteen different sections and each section has eight separate channels. With the Style Creator feature, you can create a Style by separately recording the channels, or by importing pattern data from other existing Styles. Style Section Four different Fill-ins are available. Channel Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles Creating a Style You can use one of the three different methods described below to create a Style. The created Styles can also be edited (page 117). ■ Realtime Recording ➤ See page 112 This method lets you record the Style by simply playing the instrument. You can select an internal Style that most closely matches your image of the Style you want to create and then re-record parts of the Style as desired, or you can create a new Style from scratch. ■ Step Recording ➤ See page 115 This method is like writing music notation on paper, since it allows you to enter each note or individually, and specify its length. This allows you to create a Style without having to play the parts on the instrument, since you can enter each event manually. ■ Style Assembly ➤ See page 116 This convenient feature lets you create composite Styles by combining various patterns from the internal preset Styles. For example, if you want to create your own original 8-beat Style, you could take rhythm patterns from the “Live8Beat” Style, use the bass pattern from “Cool8Beat” Style and import the chord patterns from the “8BeatModern” Style—combining the various elements to create one Style.

Realtime Recording Characteristics • 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. Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles • 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 Rhythm Clear (page 114) and Delete (page 113). 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), delete the original data before recording. When using realtime recording based on the internal Styles: Overdub recording possible. 1 When recording channels BASSPHR2 based on an internal Style, delete the original data before recording. Overdub recording is not possible on channels BASSPHR2 (see above). 112 CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual 2 3 4 5 Overdub recording not possible. Delete the data before recording.

Playback of the specified section starts. Since the accompaniment pattern plays back repeatedly in a loop, you can record individual sounds one by one, listening to the previous sounds as they play. For information on recording to channels other than the rhythm channels (RHY1, 2), refer to the section “Rules when recording non-rhythm channels” (see below). To continue recording with another channel, simultaneously hold down the [F] (REC CH) button and press the appropriate [1†]–[8†] button to specify the channel, then play the keyboard. Stop recording by pressing the Style Control [START/STOP] button. Press the [I] (SAVE) button to call up the Style Selection display to save your data. Save the data in the Style Selection display (page 63). Rules when recording non-rhythm channels • Use only the CM7 scale tones when recording the BASS and PHRASE channels (i.e., C, D, E, G, A, and B). Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles • Use only the chord tones when recording the CHORD and PAD channels (i.e., C, E, G, and B). Any desired chord or chord progression can be used for the INTRO and ENDING sections. C = Chord notes C, R = Recommended notes C R C Changing the Source Chord If you want to record the pattern with a Source Chord other than CM7, set the PLAY ROOT and PLAY CHORD parameters on the PARAMETER page (page 121) before recording. 114 CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual C R C Using the data recorded here, the auto accompaniment (Style playback) is appropriately converted depending on the chord changes you make during your performance. The chord which forms the basis for this note conversion is called the Source Chord, and is set by default to CM7 (as in the example illustration above). You can change the Source Chord (its root and type) from the PARAMETER display on page 121. 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 on chord notes and recommended notes, see page 122.

F G H I J Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles In the EDIT display, you can record notes with absolutely precise timing. This Step Recording procedure is essentially the same as that for Song Recording (page 115), 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 automatically fixed, depending on the selected section. For example, if you create a Style based on a section of four measures length, the End Mark position is automatically set to the end of the fourth measure, and cannot be changed in the Step Recording display. • Recording channels can be changed in the Song Creator 1–16 tab display; however, they cannot be changed in the Style Creator. Select the recording channel in the BASIC tab display. • In the Style Creator, only the channel data can be entered and the System Exclusive messages can be edited. You can switch between the two types of lists by pressing the [F] button. Chord and Lyrics data are not available.

CVP-309_E.book Page 119 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Style Creator ■ 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 Style. 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. Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles ORIGINAL BEAT ■ DYNAMICS 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. CHANNEL Selects the desired channel (part) to which Dynamics is to be applied. ACCENT TYPE Determines the type of accent applied—in other words, which notes in the part(s) are emphasized with the Dynamics settings. STRENGTH Determines how strongly the selected Accent Type (above) will be applied. The higher the value, the stronger the effect. EXPAND/COMP. 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 in the selected section/channel. Values above 100% boost the overall velocity, while values below 100% reduce it.

Note Transposition NTR (Note Transposition Rule applied to the Chord Root change) NTT (Note Transposition Table applied to the Chord Type change) Editing of Style File Format data is related only to note conversion. Editing the rhythm channels has no effect. • Source Pattern There are a variety of possibilities for Style playback notes, depending on the particular root note and chord type that are selected. The Style data is appropriately converted depending on the chord changes you make during your performance. This basic Style data that you create with the Style Creator is referred to as the “Source Pattern.” • Note Transposition This parameter group features two parameters that determine how the notes of the Source Pattern are to be converted in response to chord changes. Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles Other Settings HIGH KEY (Upper limit of the octaves of the note transposing caused by the Chord Root change) NOTE LIMIT (Note range in which the note is sounded) RTR (Retrigger Rules that determine how notes held through chord changes will be handled) The Style File Format (SFF) combines all of Yamaha’s auto accompaniment (Style playback) know-how into a single unified format. By using the Style Creator, you can take advantage of the power of the SFF format and freely create your own Styles. The chart shown at left indicates the process by which the Style is played back. (This does not apply to the rhythm track.) These parameters can be set via the Style Creator feature. • Other Settings Using the parameters of this group, you can fine-tune how Style playback responds to the chords you play. For example, the Note Limit parameter allows you to have the Voices of the Style sound as realistic as possible by shifting the pitch to an authentic range—ensuring that no notes sound outside the natural range of the actual instrument (e.g., very low notes of a piccolo sound).

However, there is a way to hear it played by a specific chord and root. To do this, set NTR to “Root Fixed,” NTT to “Bypass,” and NTT BASS to “OFF” then change the newly displayed “Play Root” and “Play Chord” parameters to the desired settings. Press the [I] (SAVE) button to call up the Style Selection display to save your data. Save the data in the Style Selection display (page 63). ■ SOURCE ROOT/CHORD These settings determine the original key of the source pattern (i.e., the key used when recording the pattern). The default setting of CM7 (with a Source Root of “C” and a Source Type of “M7”), is automatically selected whenever the preset data is deleted prior to recording a new Style, regardless of the Source Root and Chord included in the preset data. When you change Source Root/Chord from the default CM7 to another chord, the chord notes and recommended notes will also change, depending on the newly selected chord type.

ROOT TRANS (Root Transpose) ROOT FIXED 122 CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual When the root note is transposed, the pitch relationship 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. 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. When playing a C major chord. When playing an F major chord. When playing an F major chord. CVP-309_E.book Page 123 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Style Creator ■ NTT (Note Transposition Table) This sets the note transposition table for the source pattern. 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 root note. MELODY Suitable for melody line transposition. Use this for melody channels such as Phrase 1 and Phrase 2. CHORD Suitable for chord transposition. Use this for the Chord 1 and Chord 2 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.

Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles BYPASS ■ NTT BASS ON/OFF The channels 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. CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual 123 CVP-309_E.book Page 124 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Style Creator ■ 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 122) is set to “Root Trans.” Example—When the highest key is F. Root changes CM C#M FM F#M Notes played C3-E3-G3 C#3-F3-G#3 F3-A3-C4 F#2-A#2-C#3 ■ NOTE LIMIT This sets 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). The actual notes that sound are automatically shifted to the set range. Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles Example—When the lowest note is C3 and the highest is D4. Root changes CM C#M FM Notes played E3-G3-C4 F3-G#3-C#4 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. 124 CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual 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.

On some commercially available Song data, certain settings related to the 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 slows down 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. When Quick Start is set to “ON,” a Song is played back directly from the first note (which may be in the middle of a measure). If you want to play from the beginning of the measure that has silence prior to the first note, turn Quick Start “OFF.” 1 Call up the operation display.

Keep in mind that the notes before and after the Punch In/Out points are not recorded over, although you will hear them play back normally to guide you in the Punch In/Out timing. You can specify the Punch In and Punch Out points as measure numbers beforehand for automatic operation, or manually execute the Punch In/Out recording by using a Foot Pedal or simply by playing the keyboard. The explanations here apply to the REC MODE display in step 4 of the “Basic Editing Operation” on page 152. 1 2 Use the [1π†]–[6π†] buttons to determine the settings for rerecording (see below).

After the operation (with the exception of the SETUP menu display) is completed, this button changes to “UNDO,” letting you restore the original data if you are not satisfied with the Operation results. The Undo function only has one level; only the immediate operation can be undone.

For example, if you record the musical phrase shown at right, 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. CHANNEL Determines the channel in the Song to be quantized. 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. CAUTION The recorded Song data will be lost if you select another Song or turn the power to the instrument off without executing the Save operation (page 63). About Quantize size (resolution) The Quantize size or resolution is the number of clocks per quarter note. After eighth note quantization Settings eighth note sixteenth note thirty-second note sixteenth note + eighth note triplet* quarter note triplet eighth note triplet sixteenth note triplet eighth note + eighth note triplet* sixteenth note + sixteenth triplet* Using, Creating and Editing Songs quarter note 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. 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 Quantizing strength=100 Quantizing strength=50 ■ Deleting the data of the specified channel (DELETE menu) You can delete the data of the specified channel in the Song.

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. Unison No gender change occurs. You can adjust the LEAD GENDER DEPTH below. Male The corresponding gender change is applied to the lead vocal. Female The corresponding gender change is applied to the lead vocal. LEAD GENDER DEPTH Adjusts the degree of lead vocal gender change. This is available when the LEAD GENDER TYPE above is set to 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 CORRECTION When “Correct” is selected, the pitch of the lead vocal is shifted in precise semitone steps. This parameter is only effective when the LEAD GENDER TYPE above is set to other than Off. UPPER GENDER THRESHOLD Gender change will occur when the harmony pitch reaches or exceeds the specified number of semitones above the lead vocal pitch. LOWER GENDER THRESHOLD Gender change will occur when the harmony pitch reaches or exceeds the specified number of semitones below the lead vocal pitch. UPPER GENDER DEPTH Adjusts the degree of gender change applied to harmony notes higher than the UPPER GENDER THRESHOLD. The higher the value, the more “feminine” the harmony voice becomes. The lower the value, the more “masculine” the voice. LOWER GENDER DEPTH Adjusts the degree of gender change applied to harmony notes lower than the LOWER GENDER THRESHOLD. 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.

HARMONY1/2/3 PAN Specifies the stereo (pan) position of the first (lowest), second, and third (highest) harmony notes. Random The stereo position of the sound will change randomly whenever the keyboard is played. This is effective when the Harmony mode (page 167) is set to “VOCODER” or “CHORDAL.” L63>R – C – L<R63 A setting of L63>R pans the sound hard left, while C is at center, and L<R63 is at hard right. HARMONY1/2/3 DETUNE Detunes the first (lowest), second, and third (highest) harmony notes by the specified number of cents. PITCH TO NOTE When this is set to “ON,” you can “play” the voices of the Clavinova with your voice. (The Clavinova tracks the pitch of your voice and converts it to note data for the tone generator. Keep in mind, however, that dynamic changes in your voice do not affect the volume of the tone generator.) PITCH TO NOTE PART Determines which of the Clavinova parts will be controlled by the lead vocal when the Pitch to Note parameter is “ON.” Adjusting the Microphone and Harmony Sound Using a Microphone 1 Press the [MIC SETTING/VOCAL HARMONY] button.

However, if you turn the power off without exiting from this display, the settings will be lost. Using a Microphone ■ 3BAND 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 Clavinova features a high-grade three-band (LOW, MID and HIGH) digital equalizer function for the microphone sound. • Hz Adjusts the center frequency of the corresponding band. • dB Boosts or cuts the level of the corresponding band by up to 12 dB. ■ 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. • SW (Switch) This turns the Noise Gate on or off. • TH. (Threshold) This adjusts the input level at which the gate begins to open. CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual 165 CVP-309_E.book Page 166 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Adjusting the Microphone and Harmony Sound ■ 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 soft parts louder and loud parts softer. • SW (Switch) This turns the Compressor on or off. • TH. (Threshold) This adjusts the input level at which compression begins to be applied. • RATIO This adjusts the compression ratio. • OUT This adjusts the final output level. ■ VOCAL HARMONY CONTROL The following parameters determine how the harmony is controlled. Using a Microphone • VOCODER CONTROL The Vocal Harmony effect in Vocoder mode (page 167) is controlled by note data—the notes you play on the keyboard and/or the notes of the song data. This parameter lets you determine which notes are used to control the harmony. SONG CHANNEL MUTE/PLAY When set to “MUTE,” the channel selected below (to control Harmony) is muted (turned off) during song playback. OFF/Channels 1–16 When set to “OFF,” song data control over harmony is turned off. When set to one of the values 1–16, note data (played from a song on the CVP or an external MIDI sequencer) contained on the corresponding channel is used to control the harmony. This setting is linked to the HARMONY CH setting in the SONG SETTING display (page 135). 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. • BAL. This lets you set the balance between the lead vocal (your own voice) and Vocal Harmony. 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. 166 CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual CVP-309_E.book Page 167 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Adjusting the Microphone and Harmony Sound • MODE All of the Vocal Harmony types fall into one of three modes, which produce harmony in different ways. The harmony effect is dependent on the selected Vocal Harmony mode, and this parameter determines how the harmony is applied to your voice. The three modes are described below. AUTO When the [ACMP ON/OFF] or [LEFT] is set to ON and if chord data exists in the song, the mode is automatically set to CHORDAL. In all other cases, the mode is set to VOCODER. VOCODER The harmony notes are determined by the notes you play on the keyboard and/or song data. You can specify whether the Vocoder effect is controlled by your keyboard performance or by the Song data (page 166). CHORDAL The harmony notes are determined by the following three types of chord: chords played in the chord section of the keyboard (with the [ACMP] turned on), chords played in the LEFT Voice section of the keyboard (with the [ACMP] turned off and the [LEFT] turned on), and chords contained in song data for controlling the harmony. (Not available if the song does not contain any chord data.) • CHORD The following parameters determine which data in a recorded song is used for chord detection. OFF Chords are not detected from the song data. XF Chords of XF format are used for the Vocal Harmony. 1–16 Chords are detected from note data in the specified song channel. ■ MIC The following parameters determine how the microphone sound is controlled. • MUTE When set to ON, the microphone sound is turned off. Using a Microphone • VOLUME Adjusts the output volume of the microphone sound.

CVP-309_E.book Page 183 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Glossary of Internet Terms Glossary of Internet Terms An Internet connection technology/service (such as ADSL and optical fiber) that allows for high-speed, high-volume data communication. Browser The software used to search for, access, and view web pages. For this instrument, this refers to the display that shows the contents of the web pages. Cookie A system that records certain information that the user transfers when visiting a website and using the Internet. The function is similar to a preference file in a conventional computer program, in that it “remembers” certain information such as your user name and password, so you don’t have to re-enter the information each time you visit the site. DHCP This is a standard or protocol by which IP addresses and other low-level network configuration information can be dynamically and automatically assigned each time connection is made to the Internet. DNS A system that translates names of computers connected to a network to their corresponding IP addresses. Download Transferring data over a network, from a larger “host” system to a smaller “client” system’s hard drive or other local storage device—much like copying files from your hard disk drive to a floppy disk. For this instrument, this refers to the process of transferring Song and other data from a website to the instrument. Gateway A system which links different networks or systems, and makes possible data transfer and conversion despite differing communications standards. Home page The first page shown when opening a browser and connecting to the Internet. This phrase is also used to mean the “front screen” or top page of a website. Internet A huge network made up of networks, the Internet allows high-speed data transfer among computers, mobile phones and other devices. IP address A string of numbers assigned to each computer connected to a network, and indicating the device’s location on the network. LAN Short for Local Area Network, this is a data-transfer network that connects a group of computers at a single location (such as an office or home) by means of a special cable. Link A highlighted word, button or icon within a web page that, when clicked, opens another web page. Modem A device which connects and allows data transfer between a conventional telephone line and a computer. It converts the digital signals from the computer to analog audio for sending over the phone line, and vice versa. NTP Short for Network Time Protocol, a standard for setting the internal system clock of the computer over a network. For this instrument, the internal clock of the computer is used to specify the valid time/date for cookies and SSL. Provider A communications business that offers Internet connection services. In order to connect to the Internet, it is necessary to contract to a provider. Proxy A proxy server is a server that all computers on a local network have to go through before accessing information on the Internet. It intercepts all or designated requests to the real server to see if it can fulfill the requests itself. If not, it forwards the request to the real server. Proxy servers are used to improve performance and speed, and to filter requests, usually for security and to prevent unauthorized access to an internal network. Router A device for connecting multiple computer networks. For example, a router is necessary when connecting several computers in a house or office, and allow them to all access the Internet and share data. A router is usually connected between a modem and a computer, although some modems have a built-in router. Server A hardware system or computer used as a central point for a network, providing access to files and services. Site Short for “website,” this refers to the group of web pages that are opened together. For example, the collection of web pages whose addresses begin with “http://www.yamaha.com/” is referred to as the Yamaha site. SSID This is an identification name for specifying a particular network over a wireless LAN connection. Communication is possible only between terminals with matching SSID names. SSL Short for Secure Sockets Layer, a standard for transmitting confidential data such as credit card numbers over the Internet. Subnet mask A setting used to divide a large-scale network into several smaller networks. URL Short for Uniform Resource Locator, a string of characters used to identify and link to specific websites and pages on the Internet. A complete URL usually starts with the characters “http://.” Web page Refers to each individual page that makes up a website. Wireless LAN A LAN connection that allows data transfer through a wireless, cable-free connection.

This function is available only for the pedal connected to the instrument’s AUX PEDAL jack. SUSTAIN Allows you to use a pedal to control 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. SOSTENUTO Allows 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. SOFT Allows you to use a pedal to control 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. GLIDE When the pedal is pressed, the pitch changes, and then returns to normal pitch 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). Portamento Time can also be adjusted from the Mixing Console (page 84). This function does not affect certain Natural Voices, which would not sound appropriately with this function. PITCH BEND* Allows you to bend the pitch of notes up or down by using the pedal. MODULATION* Applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. The depth of the effect increases while pedal is pressed. DSP VARIATION Switches Voice Effect DSP VARIATION on and off.

Adjustable Parameters for Each Function The parameters below correspond to buttons [2π†]–[8π†], and their availability depends on the selected control type. For example, if SUSTAIN is selected as the type, the parameters “HALF PEDAL POINT,” “RIGHT 1,” “RIGHT 2” and “LEFT” automatically appear in the display. These specify the part(s) that will be affected by the pedal. HALF PEDAL POINT* You can specify how far down you should press on the pedal until the damper or soft effect (page 187) starts working. DEPTH Determines the depth of the pedal effect. UP/DOWN When GLIDE or PITCH BEND is selected, this determines whether the pitch change is raised or lowered. RANGE When GLIDE or PITCH BEND is selected, this determines the range of the pitch change, in semitones. Linked to the Mixing Console → Pitch Bend Range (page 84) setting. ON SPEED When GLIDE is selected, this determines the speed of the pitch change, when the pedal is pressed. OFF SPEED When GLIDE is selected, this determines the speed of the pitch change, when the pedal is released. KIT When PERCUSSION is assigned to the pedal, all available drum kits are shown here, letting you select the particular drum kit used for the pedal. PERCUSSION When PERCUSSION is assigned to the pedal, all sounds of the selected drum kit (in KIT above) are shown here. This determines the particular instrument sound assigned to the pedal.

MIDI IN Receives MIDI messages from an external MIDI device. MIDI OUT Transmits MIDI messages generated by the instrument. MIDI THRU Simply relays the MIDI messages received at MIDI IN. For a general overview of MIDI and how you can effectively use it, refer to the following sections: • What is MIDI?..............................................page 192 • What You Can Do With MIDI.......................page 195 • MIDI Settings ...............................................page 196 89 Connecting a Computer or USB Device This explanation is divided into two parts, covering the two connections: connection to the [USB TO HOST] terminal and connection to the [MIDI] terminal. • Connecting to the [USB TO HOST] terminal When connecting the instrument to the computer via USB, use a standard USB cable (having the USB logo) to connect the [USB TO HOST] terminal on the instrument to the USB terminal of the computer. Then, install the USB MIDI driver. Instrument USB cable n About the [USB TO HOST] and [USB TO DEVICE] terminals There are two different types of USB terminals on the instrument: [USB TO HOST] and [USB TO DEVICE]. Take care not to confuse the two terminals and the corresponding cable connectors. Be careful to connect the proper plug in the proper direction. Explanations on the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal follow in the next section. CAUTION 8 Connecting a Computer ([USB TO HOST] and [MIDI] Terminals) By connecting a computer to the [USB TO HOST] or [MIDI] terminals, you can transfer data between the instrument and the computer via MIDI, and take advantage of sophisticated computer music programs. Keep in mind that you also need to install an appropriate USB MIDI driver. The instructions below explain how to connect and use the terminals. n If you are using a computer that has a USB interface, we recommend that you connect the computer and the instrument by USB, rather than by MIDI. n Driver A driver is software that provides a data-transfer interface between the computer’s operating system and a connected hardware device. You need to install a USB MIDI driver to connect the computer and the instrument. Precautions when using the [USB TO HOST] terminal When connecting the computer to the [USB TO HOST] terminal, make sure to observe the following points. Failing to do so risks freezing the computer and corrupting or losing data. If the computer or the instrument freezes, turn the power to the instrument off and restart the computer. • Before connecting the computer to the [USB TO HOST] terminal, exit from any power-saving mode of the computer (such as suspended, sleep, standby), and quit any open application software, also turns off the power to the instrument. • Execute the following before turning the power to the instrument off or unplugging the USB cable to/from the instrument/ computer. - Quit any open application software on the computer. - Make sure that data is not being transmitted from the instrument. (Data is transmitted only by playing notes on the keyboard or playing back a song.) • While a USB device is connected to the instrument, you should wait for six seconds or more between these operations: When turning the power of the instrument off then on again, or when alternately connecting/disconnecting the USB cable. n CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual Using Your Instrument with Other Devices • The instrument will begin transmission a short time after the USB connection is made. • When using a USB cable to connect the instrument to your computer, make the connection directly without passing through a USB hub. • For information on setting up your sequence software, refer to the owner’s manual of the relevant software. 189 CVP-309_E.book Page 190 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Connecting a Computer or USB Device • Connection by [MIDI] terminals There are two ways to connect the instrument via MIDI to a computer. If you have a MIDI interface built into your computer, connect the MIDI OUT terminal of the computer interface to the [MIDI IN] terminal of the instrument, and connect the [MIDI OUT] terminal of the instrument to the MIDI IN terminal of the interface. Instrument [MIDI IN] terminal Computer with MIDI interface installed The second connection possibility involves a separate, external MIDI interface connected to the computer via a USB port or a serial port (modem or printer terminal). Using standard MIDI cables, connect the MIDI OUT terminal of the external interface to the [MIDI IN] terminal of the instrument, and connect the [MIDI OUT] terminal of the instrument to the MIDI IN terminal of the interface. USB port or serial port (modem or printer terminal) MIDI cable Instrument [MIDI IN] terminal MIDI interface [MIDI OUT] terminal Computer n Make sure to use the appropriate MIDI interface for your computer. 9 Connecting to a USB-type LAN Adaptor and USB Storage Device (via the [USB TO DEVICE] Terminal) There are two ways of using the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal on the bottom panel of the instrument. (The CVP309 has two terminals.) ■ By connecting the USB-type LAN adaptor, you can directly access special Internet websites for downloading music data (page 170). ■ By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device with a standard USB cable, you can save data you’ve created to the connected device, as well as read data from the connected device. Using Your Instrument with Other Devices About the [USB TO HOST] and [USB TO DEVICE] terminals There are two different types of USB terminals on the instrument: [USB TO HOST] and [USB TO DEVICE]. Take care not to confuse the two terminals and the corresponding cable connectors. Be careful to connect the proper plug in the proper direction. Explanations on the [USB TO HOST] terminal can be found in the previous section. Using USB Storage Devices MIDI cable [MIDI IN] [MIDI OUT] terminal terminal [MIDI OUT] terminal n This type is used to connect the instrument to a USB storage device, and allows you to save data you’ve created to the connected device, as well as read data from the connected device. The following description generally explains about how to connect and use them. • Compatible USB storage devices Up to two USB storage devices, such as a floppy disk drive, hard disk drive, CD-ROM drive, flash memory reader/writer, etc., can be connected to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal. (If necessary, use a USB hub.) Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or mouse cannot be used. The instrument does not necessarily support all commercially available USB storage devices. Yamaha cannot guarantee operation of USB storage devices that you purchase. Before purchasing USB storage devices, please consult your Yamaha dealer, or an authorized Yamaha distributor (see list at end of the Owner’s Manual) for advice, or see the following web page: http://www.yamahaclavinova.com/ n CD-ROM drive Although CD-R/RW drives can be used to read data to the instrument, they cannot be used for saving data. 1 2 Connect the USB storage device to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal with a standard USB cable. After that, exit once from the selection display then return to the display (or press the Tab switch buttons [√] and [®] simultaneously from the selection display). The USB tabs (USB 1, USB 2, etc.) are automatically called up, allowing you to save files and play back music data from the devices. n USB hub If you are connecting two or three devices at the same time (such as two USB storage devices and a LAN adaptor), use a USB hub device. (Even if you use a hub, only a maximum of two USB storage devices can be used.) The USB hub must be self-powered (with its own power source) and the power must be on. Only one USB hub can be used. If an error message appears while using the USB hub, disconnect the hub from the instrument, then turn on the power of the instrument and re-connect the USB hub. n About the USB Tabs The tabs indicating the connected USB devices (USB 1, USB 2, etc.) may be displayed up to USB 20 for each device or partition.

Simply reconnect the device as shown below. Formatting USB storage media When a USB storage device is connected or media is inserted, a message may appear prompting you to format the device/media. If so, execute the Format operation (page 62). Saves internal data to a SmartMedia card or USB storage device. Computer CAUTION The format operation overwrites any previously existing data. Proceed with caution. USB storage device USB TO DEVICE terminal Instrument CAUTION Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB storage device, or connecting/disconnecting the cable too often. Doing so may result in the operation of the instrument “freezing” or hanging up. While the instrument is accessing data (such as in the Save, Copy and Delete operations), do NOT unplug the USB cable, do NOT remove the media from the device, and do NOT turn the power off to either device. Doing so may corrupt the data on either or both devices. Disconnect the USB storage device from the instrument and connect it to the computer Backing up data to a computer and organizing files/folders To protect your data (write-protect): To prevent important data from being inadvertently erased, apply the write-protect provided with each storage device or media. If you are saving data to the USB storage device, make sure to disable write-protect. USB storage device Computer Instrument n Even with a computer connected to the [USB TO HOST] terminal and a USB storage device connected to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal, you cannot access the USB storage device from the computer via the instrument. n Though the instrument supports the USB 1.1 standard, you can connect and use a USB 2.0 storage device with the instrument. However, note that the transfer speed is that of USB 1.1. n Though the example here shows the use of a connected USB storage device, you can also back up your created data that you’ve saved to a SmartMedia card inserted to the CARD slot. Using Your Instrument with Other Devices CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual 191 CVP-309_E.book Page 192 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Connecting a Computer or USB Device/What is MIDI Copying files from a computer hard disk to a USB storage device Files contained on the hard disk of a computer can be transferred to the instrument by first copying them to the storage media, then connecting/inserting the media to the instrument. Not only files created on the instrument itself but also Standard MIDI files and Style File-formatted Style files created on other devices can be copied to SmartMedia card or a USB storage device from the hard disk of the computer. Once you’ve copied the data, insert the card into the Card slot or connect the device to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal of the instrument, and play back the data on the instrument. What is MIDI? Put simply, MIDI is a data transfer standard that allows easy and comprehensive control among electronic/digital music instruments and other devices. To get a better idea of what MIDI does, let’s first consider acoustic instruments, such as a grand piano and a classical guitar. With the piano, you strike a key, and a hammer inside hits some strings and plays a note. With the guitar, you directly pluck a string and the note sounds. But how does a digital instrument go about playing a note? Acoustic guitar note production Digital instrument note production Copying the files of the hard disk of the computer to the USB storage device Internal amp L Tone generator (Electric circuit) Internal amp R Playing the key board USB storage device Computer Instrument Disconnect the USB storage device from the computer and connect it to the instrument Reading files on the USB storage device from the instrument USB storage device [USB TO DEVICE] terminal Computer Instrument Pluck a string and the body resonates the sound. Based on playing information from the keyboard, a sampling note stored in the tone generator is played through the speakers. As shown in the illustration above, in an electronic instrument the sampling note (previously recorded note) stored in the tone generator section (electronic circuit) is played based on information received from the keyboard. Now, let’s examine what happens when we playback a recording. When you play back a music CD (for example, a solo piano recording), you’re hearing the actual sound (vibration in air) of the acoustic instrument. This is called audio data, to distinguish it from MIDI data. Recording and playing back the performance of an acoustic instrument (audio data) Recording Playback Using Your Instrument with Other Devices In the above example, the actual acoustic sounds of the pianist’s performance are captured in the recording as audio data, and this is recorded to CD. When you play back that CD on your audio system, you can hear the actual piano performance. The piano itself is not necessary, since the recording contains the actual sounds of the piano, and your speakers reproduce them. 192 CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual CVP-309_E.book Page 193 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM What is MIDI? Recording and play back the performance of a digital instrument (MIDI data) Recording Playback Tone Generator Sequencer Controller (keyboard, etc.) SmartMedia card SmartMedia card Finally, we’ll take a look at the actual data that gets recorded and that serves as the basis for playing the sounds. For example, let’s say you play a “C” quarter note using the grand piano sound on the Clavinova keyboard. Unlike an acoustic instrument that puts out a resonated note, the electronic instrument puts out information from the keyboard such as “with what voice,” “with which key,” “about how strong,” “when was it pressed” and “when was it released.” Then each piece of information is changed into a number value and sent to the tone generator. Using these numbers as a basis for sound generation, the tone generator plays the stored sampled note. Example Keyboard Data n In the case of digital instruments, the audio signals are sent through output jacks (such as [AUX OUT]) on the instrument. Voice number (with what voice) 01 (grand piano) Note number (with which key) 60 (C3) The “controller” and “tone generator” in the illustration above are equivalent to the piano in our acoustic example. Here, the player’s performance on the keyboard is captured as MIDI song data (see illustration below). In order to record the audio performance on an acoustic piano, special recording equipment is needed. However, since the Clavinova features a built-in sequencer that lets you record performance data, this recording equipment is unnecessary. Instead, your digital instrument—the Clavinova—allows you to both record and play back the data. Note on (when was it pressed) and note off (when was it released) Timing expressed numerically (quarter note) Velocity (strength at which it was played) 120 (strong) Tone generator Sequencer Keyboard performance (MIDI data) n Even though it is a single musical instrument, the Clavinova can be thought of as containing several electronic components: a controller, a tone generator, and a sequencer. MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which allows electronic musical instruments to communicate with each other, by sending and receiving compatible Note, Control Change, Program Change and various other types of MIDI data, or messages. The Clavinova can control a MIDI device by transmitting note related data and various types of controller data. The Clavinova can be controlled by incoming MIDI messages which automatically determine the tone generator mode, select MIDI channels, voices and effects, change parameter values and of course play the voices specified for the various parts. n MIDI data has the following advantages over audio data: • The amount of data is much less. • The data can be effectively and easily edited, even to the point of changing voices and transforming the data. MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: Channel messages and System messages. Using Your Instrument with Other Devices However, we also need a sound source to produce the audio, which eventually comes from your speakers. The tone generator of the Clavinova fills this function. The recorded performance is reproduced by the sequencer, playing back the song data, using a tone generator capable of accurately producing various instrument sounds—including that of a piano. Looked at in another way, the relation of the sequencer and the tone generator is similar to that of the pianist and the piano—one plays the other. Since digital instruments handle playback data and the actual sounds independently, we can hear our piano performance played by another instrument, such as guitar or violin. Panel operations on the Clavinova, such as playing the keyboard and selecting voices, are processed and stored as MIDI data. The auto accompaniment Styles and Songs also consist of MIDI data. Channel Messages The Clavinova is an electronic instrument that can handle 16 MIDI channels (or reception of 32 channels for MIDI data reception when using the [USB] terminal). This is usually expressed as “it can play 16 instruments at the same time.” Channel messages transmit information such as Note ON/OFF, Program Change, for each of the 16 channels. CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual 193 CVP-309_E.book Page 194 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM What is MIDI? Message Name Clavinova Operation/Panel Setting Note ON/OFF Messages which are generated when the keyboard is played. Each message includes a specific note number which corresponds to the key which is pressed, plus a velocity value based on how hard the key is played. Program Change Control Change For selecting Voices (with control change bank select MSB/LSB settings) Volume, panpot (Mixing Console), etc. n The performance data of all Songs and Styles is handled as MIDI data. MIDI Channels MIDI performance data is assigned to one of sixteen MIDI channels. Using these channels, 1–16, the performance data for sixteen different instrument parts can be simultaneously sent over one MIDI cable. Think of the MIDI channels as TV channels. Each TV station transmits its broadcasts over a specific channel. Your home TV set receives many different programs simultaneously from several TV stations and you select the appropriate channel to watch the desired program. Weather report NEWS 1 2 NEWS 2 MIDI operates on the same basic principle. The transmitting instrument sends MIDI data on a specific MIDI channel (MIDI Transmit Channel) via a single MIDI cable to the receiving instrument. If the receiving instrument’s MIDI channel (MIDI Receive Channel) matches the Transmit Channel, the receiving instrument will sound according to the data sent by the transmitting instrument. Using Your Instrument with Other Devices MIDI Transmit channel 2 MIDI cable MIDI Receive channel 2 n The Clavinova’s keyboard and internal tone generator are also connected by MIDI. → LOCAL CONTROL (page 198) For example, several parts or channels can be transmitted simultaneously, including the Style data (as shown below). 194 CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual Example: Recording a performance with the auto accompaniment (Style playback) sound of the Clavinova to an external sequencer Clavinova track (channnel) RIGHT 1 RIGHT 2 LEFT STYLE instrument STYLE instrument STYLE instrument STYLE instrument STYLE instrument STYLE instrument STYLE instrument STYLE instrument MIDI cable Channel 1 Channel 2 Channel 3 Channel 4 Channel 5 Channel 6 Channel 7 Channel 8 Channel 9 Channel 10 Channel 11 External sequencer Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 5 Track 6 Track 7 Track 8 Track 9 Track 10 Track 11 As you can see, it is essential to determine which data is to be sent over which MIDI channel when transmitting MIDI data (page 198). The Clavinova also allows you to determine how the received data is played back (page 199). System Messages This is data that is used in common by the entire MIDI system. These include System Exclusive messages for transferring data unique to each instrument manufacturer and Realtime messages for controlling the MIDI device. Message Name Clavinova Operation/Panel Setting System Exclusive Message Effect type settings (Mixing Console), etc. Realtime Messages Clock setting, Start/stop operation The messages transmitted/received by the Clavinova are shown in the MIDI Data Format and MIDI Implementation Chart in the separate Data List. CVP-309_E.book Page 195 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM What You Can Do With MIDI What You Can Do With MIDI ■ Record your performance data (1–16 channels) using the Clavinova’s auto accompaniment features on an external sequencer (or computer with sequencer software). After recording, edit the data with the sequencer, then play it back on the Clavinova. MIDI receive Instrument MIDI IN MIDI OUT MIDI OUT MIDI IN MIDI transmit Computer or Sequencer When you want to use the Clavinova as an XG-compatible multi-timbral tone generator, set the receive part for MIDI channels 1–16 to “SONG” in MIDI/USB 1 in MIDI Receive (page 199). ■ Controlling from an external MIDI keyboard Instrument MIDI receive MIDI IN MIDI OUT MIDI Data Compatibility This section covers basic information on data compatibility: whether or not other MIDI devices can playback the data recorded by CVP-309/307, and whether or not the CVP-309/307 can playback commercially available song data or song data created for other instruments or on a computer. Depending on the MIDI device or data characteristics, you may be able to play back the data without any problem, or you may have to perform some special operations before the data can be played back. If you run into problems playing back data, please refer to the information below. Sequence Formats Song data is recorded and stored in a variety of different systems, referred to as “sequence formats.” Playback is only possible when the sequence format of the Song data matches that of the MIDI device. The CVP-309/307 is compatible with the following formats. ● ESEQ This sequence format is compatible with many of Yamaha’s MIDI devices, including the Clavinova series instruments. This is a common format used with various Yamaha software. • The CVP-309/307 is compatible with ESEQ. ● Style File The Style File Format combines all of Yamaha’s auto accompaniment know-how into a single unified format. Voice Allocation Format With MIDI, Voices are assigned to specific numbers, called “program numbers.” The numbering standard (order of voice allocation) is referred to as the “voice allocation format.” Voices may not play back as expected unless the voice allocation format of the song data matches that of the compatible MIDI device used for playback. The CVP309/307 is compatible with the following formats. n Even if the devices and data used satisfy all the conditions above, the data may still not be completely compatible, depending on the specifications of the devices and particular data recording methods. ● GM System Level 1 This is one of the most common voice allocation formats. Many MIDI devices are compatible with GM System Level 1, as is most commercially available software. ● GM System Level 2 “GM System Level 2” is a standard specification that enhances the original “GM System Level 1” and improves Song data compatibility. It provides for increased polyphony, greater voice selection, expanded voice parameters, and integrated effect processing. ● XG XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha specifically to provide more Voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects, and to ensure compatibility of data well into the future. Song data recorded on the CVP-309/307 using Voices in the XG category is XG-compatible. Using Your Instrument with Other Devices ● SMF (Standard MIDI file) This is the most common sequence format. Standard MIDI Files are generally available as one of two types: Format 0 or Format 1. Many MIDI devices are compatible with Format 0, and most commercially available software is recorded as Format 0. • The CVP-309/307 is compatible with both Format 0 and Format 1. • Song data recorded on the CVP-309/307 is automatically saved as SMF Format 0. ● XF The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater functionality and openended expandability for the future. The Clavinova is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF file containing lyric data is played. (SMF is the most common format used for MIDI sequence files. The Clavinova is compatible with SMF Formats 0 and 1, and records “song” data using SMF Format 0.) ● DOC (Disk Orchestra Collection) This voice allocation format is compatible with many of Yamaha’s MIDI devices, including the Clavinova series instruments. ● GS GS was developed by the Roland Corporation. In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major enhancement of the GM specifically to provide more Voices and Drum kits and their variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects.

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 RIGHT 1 and 2 and the left-hand part is handled as “LOWER.” Master KBD 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 All transmit channels are set to correspond to Song channels 1–16. This is used to play Song data with an external tone generator and to record Song data to an external sequencer. Clock Ext Playback (Song or Style) 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 Accord 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 play melodies from the keyboard and control Style playback on the instrument with the lefthand buttons. MIDI Accord 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 Pedal 1 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 Pedal 2 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.

The “Tx” setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI System Exclusive messages on or off. The “Rx” setting turns MIDI reception and recognition of MIDI System Exclusive messages generated by external equipment on or off. ■ 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. ● CHORD SYS/EX. The “Tx” setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI chord exclusive data (chord detect. root and type) on or off. The “Rx” setting turns MIDI reception and recognition of MIDI chord exclusive data generated by external equipment on or off. TRANSMIT display MIDI Transmit Settings The explanations here apply to the TRANSMIT display to be called up in step 4 of the “Basic Operation” on page 196. This determines which parts will be sent as MIDI data and over which MIDI channel the data will be sent. ■ Clock setting, etc. Using Your Instrument with Other Devices ● CLOCK Determines whether the CVP-309/307 is controlled by its own internal clock or a MIDI clock signal received from an external device. INTERNAL is the normal Clock setting when the CVP-309/307 is being used alone or as a master keyboard to control external devices. If you are using the CVP-309/307 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, or USB 2. In this case, make sure that the external device is connected properly (e.g., to the CVP-309/307’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, USB 1 or USB 2), the Tempo is indicated as “Ext.” in the Main display. ● 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. 198 CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual Operation Select the part to be transmitted and the channel via which the selected part will be transmitted. You can also determine the types of data to be sent. ● With the exception of the two parts below, the configuration of the parts is the same as those already explained elsewhere in this manual. • UPPER The keyboard part played on the right side of the keyboard from the Split Point for the Voices (RIGHT1 and/ or 2). • LOWER The keyboard part played on the left side of the keyboard from the Split Point for the Voices. This is not affected by the on/off status of the [ACMP ON/OFF] button.

The chord type 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. The operation procedure is basically the same as that of the BASS display above. 200 CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual n • The numbers displayed here start from “1.” Accordingly the actual MIDI program change numbers are one lower, since that number system starts from “0.” • For the GS Voices, this feature is not available (the program change numbers are not shown). CVP-309_E.book Page 201 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Troubleshooting Overall The Clavinova does not turn on. • Securely insert the female plug into the socket on the Clavinova, and the male plug into a proper AC outlet. A click or pop is heard when the power is turned on or off. • Electrical current is being applied to the instrument. This is normal. Noise is heard from the Clavinova’s speakers. • Noise may be heard if a mobile phone is used near the Clavinova or if the phone is ringing. Turn off the mobile phone, or use it further away from the Clavinova. The letters in the display cannot be read, because the display is too bright (or dark). • Use the [LCD CONTRAST] knob to adjust for optimum visibility. • Adjust the brightness of the display (page 19). The overall volume is too low, or, no sound is heard. • The master volume may be set too low. Set it to an appropriate level with the [MASTER VOLUME] dial. • All keyboard parts are set to off. Use the PART ON/OFF [RIGHT 1]/[RIGHT 2]/[LEFT] button to turn it on. • The volume of the individual parts may be set too low. Raise the volume in the BALANCE display (page 39). • Make sure the desired channel is set to ON (page 103). • Headphones are connected, disabling the speaker output. (This happens when the speaker setting is set to “HEADPHONE SW”; page 17.) Unplug the headphones. • Make sure the speaker setting is set to ON (page 17). • The [FADE IN/OUT] button is on, muting the sound. Press the [FADE IN/OUT] button to turn the function off. • Make sure the Local Control function is set to ON (page 198). Not all simultaneously played notes sound. • You are probably exceeding the maximum polyphony (page 213) of the CVP. When the maximum polyphony is exceeded, the earliest played notes will stop sounding, letting the latest played notes sound. The keyboard volume is lower than the Song/Style playback volume. • The volume of the keyboard parts may be set too low. Raise the volume in the BALANCE display (page 39). Keys do not sound at the proper pitch. • Make sure the [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button is set to OFF. - Some Voices have a looping sound. - Some noise or vibrato is noticeable at higher pitches, depending upon the voice. • This is normal and is a result of the Clavinova’s sampling system. Some Voices will jump an octave in pitch when played in the upper or lower registers. • This is normal. Some voices have a pitch limit which, when reached, causes this type of pitch shift. The Main display does not appear even when turning the power on. • This may occur if a USB storage device has been installed to the instrument. Installation of some USB storage device may result a long interval between turning the power on and appearance of the Main display. To avoid this, turn the power on after disconnecting the device. The main background image from the CD-ROM is not displayed. • This is because the Main display is loaded prior to loading of the image from the CD-ROM. To remedy this, copy the image data from the CD-ROM to the User display, then set it as the main background image (page 19). Pedals The damper, sostenuto and soft functions do not work for the relevant pedals. • The pedal cord plug is not connected. Securely insert the pedal cord plug into the proper jack (page 210). • Each pedal has been assigned to a different function. Make sure that each pedal is properly assigned to SUSTAIN, SOSTENUTO, and SOFT (page 186). • Make sure the Registration Sequence function is set to OFF (page 129).

The data contained in the external media (SmartMedia card, etc.) is not shown on the instrument itself. • Data files with names of more than 42 characters cannot be handled by the instrument. Rename the file, reducing the number of characters to 41 or less. CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual Appendix Certain notes sound at the wrong pitch. The Scale parameter has probably been set to something other than “Equal,” changing the tuning system of the keyboard. Make sure “Equal” is selected as the Scale in the Scale Tune display (page 78). - There is a slight difference in sound quality among different notes played on the keyboard. 201 CVP-309_E.book Page 202 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM The file/folder copied or cut from one media (such as a SmartMedia card, etc.) cannot be directly copied or pasted to another media. • This is normal. Since directly copying data is not possible, copy or paste the data once to the User display, then copy or paste it again to the Card/USB display after changing the media. Demo How can I stop the demo? • Press the [EXIT] button. Help How can I leave the Help feature? • Press the [EXIT] button. Voice The Voice selected from the Voice Selection display does not sound. • Check whether or not the selected part is turned on (page 73). • To select the Voice for the right-hand key range, press the PART SELECT [RIGHT 1] button. For the Voice to be layered in the right-hand range, press the PART SELECT [RIGHT 2] button. To select the Voice for the left-hand key range, press the PART SELECT [LEFT] button. A strange “flanging” or “doubling” sound occurs. The sound is slightly different each time the keys are played. • The RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 parts are set to “ON,” and both parts are set to play the same Voice. Turn off the RIGHT 2 part or change the Voice of one of the parts. The sound seems strange or different than expected when changing a rhythm Voice (drum kit, etc.) of the Style or Song from the Mixer. • When changing the rhythm/percussion Voices (drum kits, etc.) of the Style and Song from the VOICE parameter, the detailed settings related to the drum voice are reset, and in some cases you may be unable to restore the original sound. In the case of Song playback, you can restore the original sound by returning to the beginning of the Song and playing back from that point. In the case of Style play, you can restore the original sound by selecting the same Style again. Appendix Tremolo/Trill cannot be applied to the Organ Flute Voice. • This is normal; Tremolo and Trill settings in the Harmony/Echo display are not effective for Organ Flute Voices. 202 CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual The Harmony function does not operate. • Harmony cannot be used with the Full Keyboard or AI Full Keyboard fingering modes. Select an appropriate fingering mode (page 101). When a Voice is changed, the previously selected effect is changed. • Each Voice has its own suitable preset settings, which are automatically recalled when the corresponding Voice Set parameters are turned on (page 100). The Voice produces excessive noise. • Certain Voices may produce noise, depending on the Harmonic Content and/or Brightness settings in the FILTER page of the Mixing Console display (page 84). The sound is distorted or noisy. • The volume may be turned up too high. Make sure all relevant volume settings are appropriate. • This may be caused by certain effects. Try canceling all unnecessary effects, especially distortion-type effects (page 86). • Some filter resonance settings in the Sound Creator display (page 95) can result in distorted sound. Adjust these settings if necessary. • Noise may occur depending on the settings made in the Filter display of the Mixing Console. Adjust the Harmonic Content or Brightness controls in the Filter display (page 84). The sound does not change when replacing Voices with the Song Auto Revoice feature. • Depending on the particular Song data, there are some instances where Song Auto Revoice has no effect, even when replacing Voices. The sound of the Voice doesn’t change, even when editing the Voice. • Keep in mind that adjustments made to the parameters may not make much change in the actual sound depending on the original settings of the Voice. Voices other than those in the Preset display cannot be selected for Step recording. • This is normal. iAFC Calibration is aborted. • (CVP-309 grand piano type) If you close the lid completely or to the shorter stay while performing the calibration, the calibration will be aborted. Perform the calibration once again after opening the lid with the longer stay. • The speaker is turned off. Perform the calibration once again after turning the speaker on (page 17). • If any low-range noise (such as an air conditioner or traffic) is audible around the Clavinova during the calibration, the calibration may abort and the settings may be reset to their default values. Perform the calibration once again after eliminating the noise. CVP-309_E.book Page 203 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Style Style playback does not start. • Make sure to press the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button. • MIDI Clock may be set to “EXTERNAL.” Make sure this is set to “INTERNAL” (page 198). Only the rhythm channel plays. • Make sure the Auto Accompaniment function is turned on; press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button. • You may be playing keys in the right hand range of the keyboard. Make sure to play keys in the chord range of the keyboard. Styles cannot be selected. • If the size of the Style data is large (120 KB or greater), the Style cannot be selected because the data is too large to be ready by the instrument. The desired chord is not recognized or output by the auto accompaniment. • You may not be playing the correct keys for indicating the chord. Refer to “Chord Types Recognized in the Fingered Mode” of the separate Data List. • You may be playing the keys according to a different fingering mode, and not the one currently selected. Check the accompaniment mode, and play the keys according to the selected mode (page 102). Synchro Stop cannot be turned on. • Synchro Stop cannot be turned on when the fingering mode is set to “Full Keyboard” or “AI Full Keyboard,” or when Style On/Off is set to off. Make sure the fingering mode is set to something besides “Full Keyboard” or “Al Full Keyboard” and set Style On/Off to on. Auto accompaniment chords are recognized regardless of the split point or where chords are played on the keyboard. • This is normal if the fingering mode is set to “Full Keyboard” or “AI Full Keyboard.” If either of these is selected, chords are recognized over the entire range of the keyboard, irrespective of the split point setting. If desired, select a different fingering mode (page 102). When playing back one Style and selecting another, the newly selected Style doesn’t play at the proper Tempo. • This is normal; the Tempo setting remains constant when changing Styles. The “Off” setting is not shown for the Play Type parameter in the Assembly (Style Creator) feature. • The selected section is set to record enable. Release the recording assignment by pressing the appropriate [1†]– [8†] button in the recording channel display (TAB [√] button → BASIC tab → [F] REC CH). The channels BASS-PHR2 cannot be edited in Channel Edit. • This is normal; BASS-PHR2 channels of the Preset Styles cannot be edited. Registration memory The Song/Style registered to the Registration Memory cannot be called up. • If the registered Song/Style is contained on external media such as SmartMedia card and the media is not inserted or connected to the instrument, the Song/Style cannot be called up. Insert or connect the appropriate media containing the Song/Style data. The order for calling up Registration Memory settings is not shown on the Registration Sequence setting display. • The bank containing the Registration has not been selected. Select the appropriate bank (page 126). When using the Freeze function of the Registration Memory, the On/Off setting of the Left Part does not change even when changing the Registration Memory setting. • The Left Part On/Off setting is included in the Style group. Remove the checkmark from “STYLE” in the Freeze setting display (page 127). Even though a Registration Memory setting containing a User/Card voice is selected, the File Selection display shows a Preset Voice. • This is normal; even with the Preset Voice shown, the actual sounding Voice is the selected User/Card Voice. When a User/Card Voice is saved to the User/Card drive, the actual data is divided into two separate types: 1) the source Preset Voice itself, and 2) the parameter settings as set in the Sound Creator. When you recall a Registration Memory setting containing a User/Card Voice, the Clavinova selects the Preset voice (on which the User/ Card Voice is based), then applies the relevant parameter settings to it—so that your original User/Card Voice is sounded. CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual Appendix Starting a Song while playing back a Style stops Style playback. This is because Song playback has priority. The two ways shown below let you play back a Style and Song simultaneously. • Set the Song to Synchro Start standby, then start the Style. • Start the Style playback after playing back a Song. The level balance of the various Parts becomes wrong or unexpected sounds are output when selecting a Style or a Voice after selecting a Song. • The level balance of the Parts can change and unexpected sounds can be produced because of the effects applied to each Part. 203 CVP-309_E.book Page 204 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Song Songs cannot be selected. • This may be because the language settings have been changed. Set the appropriate language for the Song file name. • If the size of the Song data is large (300 KB or greater), the Song cannot be selected because the data is too large to be read by the instrument. Song playback does not start. • “New Song” (a blank Song) has been selected.

Return to the beginning of the Song by pressing the SONG [STOP] button. • In the case a Song to which write-protect has been applied (“Prot. 2 Edit” is shown at the upper left of the Song name), the original file may not be in the same folder. It cannot be played back unless the original file (showing “Prot.2 Orig” at the upper left of the Song name) is in the same folder. • In case of a Song to which write-protect has been applied (“Prot. 2 Edit” is shown at the upper left of the Song name), the original file name may have been changed. Rename the file with the original file name (so that “Prot.2 Orig” is shown at the upper left of the Song name). • In case of a Song to which write-protect has been applied (“Prot. 2 Edit” is shown at the upper left of the Song name), the file icon may have been changed. Songs to which write-protect has been applied cannot be played back when the file icon of the original has been changed. • MIDI Clock may be set to “EXTERNAL.” Make sure this is set to “INTERNAL” (page 198). Song playback stops before the Song is finished. • The Guide function is turned on. (In this case, playback is “waiting” for the correct key to be played.) Press the [GUIDE] button to turn off the guide function. The Song last selected before turning off the power is no longer available. • If the Song last selected before turning off the power is contained in external media such as a SmartMedia card, you’ll need to reinsert/reconnect the same media to call up the Song again. Appendix The measure number is different from that of the score in the Song Position display, shown by pressing the [REW]/[FF] buttons. • This happens when playing back music data for which a specific, fixed tempo is set. In the AB Repeat function, the B point cannot be set. • The A point has not been set. Set the B point only after setting the A point. 204 CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual When playing back a Song, some channels do not play. • Playback of these channels may be set to “OFF.” Turn playback on for those channels that are set to “OFF” (page 137). A Song to which write-protect has been applied (“Prot. 2 Edit” is shown at the upper left of the Song name) cannot be moved to an ID SmartMedia card. • If you are using an external card reader, write-protected Songs cannot be moved to an ID SmartMedia card. Use the card slot on this instrument. The Tuning Curve of the piano Voice does not quite match that of other instruments’ Voices. • The Tuning Curve designed especially for piano Voices may not sound with the appropriate pitches when used with other instrument Voices. Set the Tuning Curve to “FLAT” (page 94). Guide The melody still plays back, even when specifying Track 1 as the part to be muted for one-handed practice. • A part other than the melody part has been assigned to Track 1. Reassign the channel containing the melody to Track 1 (page 136). The Guide lamps do not light during Song playback, even after pressing the [GUIDE] button. • Make sure to turn on the Guide lamps (page 135). • Any notes outside of the 88-key range cannot be indicated by the Guide lamps.

The lamps in the chord section of the keyboard light. • The Guide function for chords (page 49) has been enabled. Turn the Style off by pressing the [ACMP ON/ OFF] button. The Guide lamps do not indicate how to play chords. • Make sure that the Guide Mode is set to “FollowLights” (page 102). • You cannot check how to play chords with the Guide lamps if the chord fingering method is set to “Single Finger,” “Full Keyboard” or “AI Full Keyboard.” Select another fingering method (page 102). CVP-309_E.book Page 205 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Score When displaying the music score, long notes that have been entered, such as whole notes and ties, are not displayed correctly. • Long notes, such as whole notes and ties, may not be shown in the music score display exactly as they were entered. To have a more accurate display of these notes, select “Tenuto” by pressing the [H] button before inputting each note in the Step Record display (page 141). The tempo, beat, measure and music notation is not displayed correctly. • Some Song data for the Clavinova has been recorded with special “free tempo” settings. For such Song data, the tempo, beat, measure and music notation will not be displayed correctly. The note name partially obscures the note in the display. • When several notes occur close to each other, the note name may obscure the note at left. The music score of the right-hand/left-hand part is not displayed. • The appropriate channels have not been assigned to the right-hand and left-hand parts. Set RIGHT and LEFT to the appropriate channels (page 38). Video out The Clavinova display contents cannot be sent via video out and do not show on an external monitor. • Make sure that the NTSC or PAL setting corresponds to the standard of your particular video equipment (page 53). Some flashing parallel lines appear in the television or video monitor. • Occasionally some flashing parallel lines may appear in the television or video monitor. This does not necessarily indicate that the monitor is malfunctioning. For optimum results, try adjusting the color settings on the monitor itself. The monitor you are using may not show the instrument's display contents as expected. • Keep in mind that even after adjusting all settings as recommended, the monitor you are using may not show the instrument's display contents as expected (e.g., the display contents may not fit on the screen, the characters may not be completely clear, or the colors may be incorrect). Microphone/Vocal harmony The notation in the display is cut off, with the middle of a measure starting on the next line. • When all the notes of a measure cannot fit on one line, the remaining notes in the measure are carried over to the next line. The microphone input signal cannot be recorded. • The microphone input signal cannot be recorded to the instrument. However, you can connect a recorder to the output terminals [AUX OUT, AUX OUT (LEVEL FIXED), OPTICAL OUT] and record the microphone signal. Dotted notes are indicated as rests. • This is normal; sometimes dotted notes are indicated as rests. Harmony can be heard in addition to the microphone sound. • Vocal Harmony is set to “ON.” Turn Vocal Harmony off (page 54). Chords are not displayed. • If the selected Song does not contain chord data, chords are not displayed. Lyrics (Karaoke) Lyrics are not displayed. • If the selected Song does not contain lyric data, lyrics are not displayed. Some of the lyrics overlap each other. • This happens for Songs containing many lyrics. The Lyrics Background setting cannot be changed. • When the background color is specified in the song data, the Lyrics Background setting cannot be changed. Performance assistant technology does not work appropriately. • Press the SONG [STOP] button to stop Song playback, then set the [ACMP ON/OFF] and PART ON/OFF [LEFT] to off. Finally, restart the Song. Appendix Performance assistant technology The Vocal Harmony effect sounds distorted or out-oftune. Your vocal microphone may be picking up extraneous sounds, such as the Style sound from the instrument. In particular, bass sounds can cause mistracking of the Vocal Harmony. To remedy this: • Sing as closely to the microphone as possible. • Use a directional microphone. • Turn down the Master volume, Style volume, or Song volume control (page 39). • Separate the microphone from the external speakers as much as possible. • Cut the Low band via the 3 Band EQ function in the MICROPHONE SETTING display (page 165). • Raise the microphone input level (TH) via the Compressor function in the MICROPHONE SETTING display (page 166). Appropriate harmony notes are not produced by the Vocal Harmony feature. • Make sure you are using the appropriate method to specify the harmony notes for the current Vocal Harmony mode (page 167).
