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.

CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual

• 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.

Saving and backing up your data

• 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)

• Memorized One Touch Settings (page 50)

• Edited MIDI settings (page 196)

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.

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.

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.

Displaying and Playing along with the Music Score ................page 56

While playing back a Song, you can have the music score (notation) auto-

matically shown on the display—an exceptionally convenient tool for learn-

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.

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.

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

*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.

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.

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.

Playing Voices

The Clavinova features a variety of Voices, including exceptionally realistic piano Voices.

Playing the Piano Voice

Here, we’ll call up and play the piano voice. You can play the piano voice using the pedals or metronome.

One-touch Piano Play

This convenient, easy-to-use feature completely and automatically reconﬁgures the entire CVP for optimum piano per-

formance. No matter what settings you’ve made from the panel, you can instantly call up the piano settings by a single

button press.

Piano Lock Function

The convenient Piano Lock function lets you “lock” the piano so that you don’t inadvertently change the settings by

pressing another button on the panel. Once locked, the CVP stays in the piano mode, even if other buttons are

pressed—preventing you from accidentally starting a Song (page 34) during your piano performance.

Hold down the [PIANO] button on the lower right of the panel for a short time, until a message

appears prompting you to enable Piano Lock.

Press the [F] (OK) button to enable Piano Lock.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

The depth of the left pedal effect can be adjusted (page 95).

Setting the touch sensitivity of the keyboard

You can adjust the touch response of the instrument (how the sound responds to the way you play the keys). The touch

sensitivity type becomes the common setting for all Voices.

1 Call up the operation display:

[FUNCTION] → [D] CONTROLLER → TAB [

] KEYBOARD/

PANEL → [A] 1 INITIAL TOUCH

2 Press the [1

π†

]/[2

] buttons to specify the touch response.

HARD 2 ..... Requires strong playing to produce high volume. Best

for players with a heavy touch.

HARD 1 ..... Requires moderately strong playing for high volume.

NORMAL... Standard touch response.

SOFT 1....... Produces high volume with moderate playing strength.

SOFT 2....... Produces relatively high volume even with light play-

ing strength. Best for players with a light touch.

n •This setting does not change the weight of the keyboard.

• When you do not want to apply touch sensitivity, set Touch to OFF for

the corresponding parts by pressing the [5

†

]–[7

†

] buttons. When

Touch is set to OFF, you can specify the ﬁxed volume level by press-

ing the [4

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 Simultaneously

CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual

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.

Enhancing the Acoustic Realism of the Sound (iAFC)

CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual

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.

Press the [iAFC SETTING] button to call up the operation display.

Press one of the [2

ππ

††

]–[4

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.

Using, Creating and Editing Voices

•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.”

Press the [F] (MIC CALIBRATION) button in the iAFC operation dis-

play (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 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

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.

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 realis-

tically. It also lets you expressively control the Portamento 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.)

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

Press the [MIXING CONSOLE] button to call up the MIXING CON-

SOLE display.

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.

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

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

CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual

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.

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.

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.

For a major chord,

press the root key only.

For a minor chord,

simultaneously press the root

key and a black key to its left.

For a seventh chord,

simultaneously press the root

key and a white key to its left.

For a minor-seventh chord,

simultaneously press the root key a

both a white and black key to its lef

• 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

data will be recorded when set

to “STYLE,” and only the chord

data will be recorded when set

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:

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.

Press the [DIGITAL RECORDING] button.

Press the [B] button to call up the Style Creator display.

Use the TAB [

][

] buttons to select the BASIC tab.

Call up the display for selecting sections, etc. by pressing the [EXIT]

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).

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).

To continue recording with another channel, simultaneously hold

down the [F] (REC CH) button and press the appropriate [1

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Using the Auto Accompaniment Features with the

Song Playback

When playing back a Song and a Style at the same time, channels 9–16 in the Song

data are replaced with style channels—allowing you to play the accompaniment

parts of the Song yourself. Try playing chords along with the Song playback as

shown in the instructions below. When playing back a Song and a Style at the same

time, we recommend that you use the Preset Songs in the “Sing-a-long” folder.

the Song is automatically used.

Parameter Lock

You can “lock” speciﬁc parame-

ters (e.g., effect, split point, etc.)

to make them selectable only via

the panel controls (page 126).

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.”

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

saving your data, then save the data in the Song Selection display

■

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.

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 Clavi-

nova 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.”

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.

• TH. (Threshold)

This adjusts the input level at which the gate begins to open.

CAUTION

■

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.

• 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.

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

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:

CVP-309

http://music.yamaha.com/CVP-309

CVP-307

http://music.yamaha.com/CVP-307

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.).

Use a computer to connect to the Internet and get online before connect-

ing the instrument, since no modem or router settings can be made from

the instrument itself.

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.

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.

Using Your Instrument with Other Devices

Using Headphones

([PHONES] jacks)

Connect a pair of headphones to one of the [PHONES]

jacks (standard 1/4" phone jacks) located on the leftward

underside of the instrument. For details, see page 17.

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.”

345

Connecting Audio &

Video Devices

Use audio cables and adaptor plugs having no (zero) resistance.

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.

CAUTION

When the instrument’s sound is output to an external

device, ﬁrst turn on the power to the instrument, then to

the external device. Reverse this order when you turn the

power off.

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)]

[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.

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.

• 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.

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

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

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.

Connecting External MIDI

Devices ([MIDI] Terminals)

Use the built-in [MIDI] terminals and standard MIDI

cables to connect external MIDI devices.

For a general overview of MIDI and how you can effec-

tively use it, refer to the following sections:

• What is MIDI?..............................................page 192

• MIDI Settings ...............................................page 196

Connecting a Computer

or USB Device

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.

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.

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.

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.

•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.

Make sure to use the appropriate MIDI interface for your com-

puter.

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.

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/

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.

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.

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.

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.

puter via the instrument.

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.

Backing up your data to a computer

■ Backing up the instrument data to a computer

Once you’ve saved data to a SmartMedia card or USB

storage device, you can copy the data to the hard disk of

your computer, then archive and organize the ﬁles as

desired. Simply reconnect the device as shown below.

Though the example here shows the use of a connected USB

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?

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.

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.

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?

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

instrument.

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 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.

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).

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.

●

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.

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 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 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.

■

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.

■

●

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.

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).

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.

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

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.

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.

CVP-309 grand piano type: Keyboard Stand Assembly

CAUTION

• Be careful not to confuse parts, and be sure to install all

parts in the correct orientation. Please assemble in accor-

dance with the sequence given below.

• Assembly should be carried out by at least two persons.

• Be sure to use the correct screw size, as indicated below.

Use of incorrect screws can damage the stand.

• Be sure to tighten all screws upon completing the assem-

bly of each unit.

•To disassemble, reverse the assembly sequence given

below.

The CVP-309 grand piano type features an iAFC (Instrumental

Active Field Control) effect. This produces sound from the speaker

located on the bottom face of the Clavinova, enhancing the rever-

beration and spaciousness of the sound when you open the lid

with the longer stay (page 16).

In order to optimize the iAFC effect, please observe the following:

•Perform the automatic adjustment after you turn on the power of

the Clavinova for the ﬁrst time, and after each time you re-locate

the Clavinova (page 77).

• Do not block the speaker located on the bottom face of the

Clavinova.

Remove all parts from the box. Conﬁrm that all

parts shown in the illustration are included.

How to position the main unit

CAUTION

Be careful not to pinch your ﬁngers.

Spread a large soft cloth such as a blanket on the

ﬂoor in front of the wall.

when you place the main unit ﬂat on the ﬂoor

with its keyboard side facing the wall, the pad will

be located about 10cm (a little more than four

inches) to the high key side from the ﬂoppy disk

drive as shown in the illustration. The pad will

protect the ﬂoppy disk drive so that it will not be

damaged by touching the ﬂoor.

As shown in the illustration, place the main unit

ﬂat on the ﬂoor so that half of the pad underneath

protrudes from the keyboard side of the unit, and

at the same time the pad is located about 10cm to

the high key side from the ﬂoppy disk drive. Then

raise the rear of the main unit until it leans against

the wall with the keyboard side at the bottom.

Be careful not to allow the unit to fall or slip.

Place a soft cloth against the wall to protect the

unit and the wall from scratches.

CAUTION

Be sure to use a protective pad to avoid a damage to the

ﬂoppy disk drive. If the drive touches the ﬂoor when you

raise the unit to lean it against the wall, too much pressure

may be applied to the drive, possibly causing serious dam-

ages to the drive.

CAUTION

• Do not place the main unit with

the rear side facing down.

• Do not lay the main unit upside

down on the ﬂoor.

• Do not position the main unit

so that its bottom is in contact

with ﬂoor.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. ORGAN FLUTES 10 CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual CVP-309_E.book Page 11 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Perform Along with a Full Band —Song Playback ........................................................................ page 34 Play along with previously recorded Song data, and fill out your solo performance with the sounds and arrangement of an entire band or orchestra. 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.

CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual 71 CVP-309_E.book Page 72 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Using, Creating and Editing Voices Reference to Quick Guide pages Reference Playing Voices ................................................................................ page 28 Playing the Piano Voice ........................................................... page 28 Playing Various Voices ............................................................. page 31 Voice Characteristics Using, Creating and Editing Voices The Voice type and its defining characteristics are indicated above the Preset Voice name. 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. In order to make the type you’ve selected here effective, set HARMONY/ECHO to On in the display shown in step 2 above. 1 2 3 80 CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual Call up the operation display.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

For details on editable parameters, see below. 4 Auditioning Your Style with a Specific Chord Normally in the Style Creator, you can hear your original Stylein-process with the Source Pattern. 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. DORIAN 5th In addition to the Dorian transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern. 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.

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 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.

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 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).

Use the [1π†]–[8π†] buttons to edit the data. For information on the available parameters, see page 155. Press the [D] (EXECUTE) button to execute the operation for the current display. 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. CVP-309_E.book Page 155 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Recording Your Performance 4 Press the [I] (SAVE) button to call up the Song Selection display for saving your data, then save the data in the Song Selection display (page 63). ■ 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 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. Also affects the lead vocal sound when the LEAD GENDER TYPE above is set to other than Off. VIBRATO RATE Sets the speed of the vibrato effect. Also affects the lead vocal sound when the LEAD GENDER TYPE above is set to other than Off. VIBRATO DELAY Specifies the length of the delay before the vibrato effect begins when a note is produced. Higher values result in a longer delay.

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.

Adjustable Items (Parameters) in the OVERALL SETTING Tab Display CAUTION Settings in the OVERALL SETTING tab display are automatically saved to the instrument when you exit from the display. 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. VIBE ROTOR ON/OFF Switches the VIBRATE SW parameter on and off when the VIBE VIBRATE effect type is selected. HARMONY/ECHO Switches the HARMONY/ECHO Voice Effect 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. The numbers are not fixed and may change according to the order in which the devices are connected and disconnected. 190 CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual CVP-309_E.book Page 191 Monday, October 23, 2006 9:07 AM Connecting a Computer or USB Device n Checking remaining memory on the USB storage device You can check this in the display called up by the following operation: [FUNCTION] → [I] UTILITY → TAB [√]/[®] MEDIA Select the device by using the [A]/[B] buttons in this display and press [F] (PROPERTY). Backing up your data to a computer ■ Backing up the instrument data to a computer Once you’ve saved data to a SmartMedia card or USB storage device, you can copy the data to the hard disk of your computer, then archive and organize the files as desired. 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.

Operation ● The Clavinova can receive MIDI messages over 32 channels (16 channels x 2 ports) by USB connection. ● With the exception of the two parts below, the configuration of the parts is the same as those already explained elsewhere in this manual. Merge USB2 01–16 MIDI/USB 01–16 BASS display 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 channel(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 settings. When several channels are simultaneously set to “ON,” the bass note is detected from merged MIDI data received over the channels. CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual Using Your Instrument with Other Devices 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.

You can set this in the display called up by the following operations: [FUNCTION] → [I] UTILITY →TAB [√]/[®] CONFIG 2. Switch the DISPLAY VOICE NUMBER menu ON and OFF. Operation Select the channel and set the “ON/OFF” for that channel. Use the All OFF item to set all channels to OFF. CHORD DETECT display Setting the Chord Type for Style Playback via MIDI Receive Using Your Instrument with Other Devices The explanations here apply to the CHORD DETECT display to be called up in step 4 of the “Basic Operation” 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 channel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the notes for detecting chords in Style playback. The chords to be detected depend on the fingering type. The chord 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.

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). Files/Folders Some characters of the file/folder name are garbled. • The language settings have been changed. Set the appropriate language for the file/folder name (page 18).

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. Make sure to select an appropriate Song in the Song Selection display (page 34). • Make sure to press the SONG [PLAY/PAUSE] button. • The Song has been stopped at the end of the Song data. Return to the beginning of the Song by pressing the SONG [STOP] button. • In the case a Song to which write-protect has been applied (“Prot. 2 Edit” is shown at the upper left of the Song name), the original file may not be in the same folder. It cannot be played back unless the original file (showing “Prot.2 Orig” at the upper left of the Song name) is in the same folder. • In case of a Song to which write-protect has been applied (“Prot. 2 Edit” is shown at the upper left of the Song name), the original file name may have been changed. Rename the file with the original file name (so that “Prot.2 Orig” is shown at the upper left of the Song name). • In case of a Song to which write-protect has been applied (“Prot. 2 Edit” is shown at the upper left of the Song name), the file icon may have been changed. Songs to which write-protect has been applied cannot be played back when the file icon of the original has been changed. • 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 Guide lamps light an octave or two lower/higher than the actual pitch. • The Guide lamps sometimes light an octave or two lower/higher than the actual pitch depending on the selected Voice. The 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).
