Voice Characteristics

S.Articulation! See the Owner’s Manual, chapter 2.

Natural! These rich and luscious Voices are comprised mostly of keyboard instrument sounds

and are especially intended for playing piano and other keyboard parts. They also take

full advantage of Yamaha’s advanced sampling technology such as Stereo Sampling,

Sustain Sampling, and Key-off Sampling.

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 finely detailed and natural sound.

4 CVP-601 Reference Manual

Voices – Playing the Keyboard –

NOTE MegaVoices are not compatible with other models even though the model may have those types of Voices installed. Any Song or Style data you’ve created

on the instrument using these Voices will not sound properly when played back on other instruments.

NOTE MegaVoices sound differently depending on the keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you apply a HARMONY/ ECHO effect, change the trans-

pose setting or change the Voice Set parameters, unexpected or undesired sounds may result.

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 Voice Set to adjust the various footages and

craft your own original organ sounds. See page 16 for details.

MegaVoice These Voices make special use of velocity switching. Normal voices use velocity

switching, too — to change the sound quality and/or level of a voice according to how

strongly or softly you play it. This makes the voice sound authentic and natural. With

MegaVoices, however, each velocity range (the measure of your playing strength) has a

completely different sound. For example, a guitar MegaVoice includes the sounds of

various performance techniques. In conventional instruments, different Voices having

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

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

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

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

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

useful and convenient when creating MIDI data — especially when you want to avoid

using several different Voices just for a single instrument part.

Actual sound maps for the MegaVoices are given in the separate Data List booklet that

comes with your instrument.

MEGAEnhancer

– Converting MIDI Songs to Songs for MegaVoice playing –

MEGAEnhancer allows conversion of conventional XG/GM song data to song data optimized for use

with the MegaVoice feature on a compatible instrument or tone generator. MEGAEnhancer makes MIDI

guitar and bass tracks come to life, with enhanced realism and expression. MEGAEnhancer can be

downloaded from the Internet.

Voices – Playing the Keyboard –

This function lets you apply harmonies to your right hand performance according to the chords you play with

your left hand, and trigger automatic echo or tremolo even by pressing a single note or two notes.

1 Press the [VOICE EFFECT] button.

2 Turn the Harmony/Echo on by pressing the [I] (HARMONY/ECHO) button.

3 Call up the operation display by pressing the [J] (TYPE SELECT) button.

4 Use the [1] – [3] buttons to select the Harmony/Echo type.

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 the note 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.

Selecting the Harmony/Echo type

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 key-

board. (Note that the “1+5” and “Octave” settings are not affected by the chord.)

Multi Assign Type

This type applies a special effect to chords played in the right-hand section of the

keyboard.

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.

Voices – Playing the Keyboard –

 Multi Assign Type

The Multi Assign effect automatically assigns notes played simultaneously on the right-hand section of

the keyboard to separate parts (Voices). Both keyboard parts [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.

5 Use the [4] – [8] buttons to select various Harmony/Echo settings.

The available settings differ depending on the Harmony/Echo type.

[4] 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.

[5] 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.

[6] 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.

[7] 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.

[8] 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).

Fine-tuning the Pitch of the Entire Instrument

You can fine-tune the pitch of the entire instrument — a useful feature when playing the Clavinova along with

other instruments or CD music. Please note that the Tuning function does not affect the Drum Kit or SFX Kit

Voices with name “*** kit” and audio files.

1 Call up the operation display.

[FUNCTION]  [A] MASTER TUNE/SCALE TUNE  TAB [ ][ ] MASTER TUNE

2 Use the [4]/[5] buttons to set the tuning in 0.2 Hz steps, from 414.8–466.8 Hz.

Press the both 4 or 5’s [



] and [



] buttons simultaneously to reset the value to the factory setting of 440.0 Hz.

Scale Tuning

You can select various scales for playing in custom tunings for specific historical periods or music genres.

1 Call up the operation display.

[FUNCTION]  [A] MASTER TUNE/SCALE TUNE  TAB [ ][ ] SCALE TUNE

2 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the desired scale.

 Preset Scale types

Pitch-Related Settings

EQUAL The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with each

half-step evenly spaced in pitch. This is the most commonly used tuning in

music today.

PURE MAJOR, PURE

MINOR

These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale, especially

for triad chords (root, third, fifth). You can hear this best in actual vocal harmo-

nies — 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.

The tuning of each note for the cur-

rently selected scale is shown.

CVP-601 Reference Manual 9

Voices – Playing the Keyboard –

3 Change the following settings as necessary.

NOTE

To register the Scale Tune settings to the Registration Memory, be sure to checkmark the SCALE item in the REGISTRATION MEMORY CONTENTS display.

Changing the Part Assignment of the TRANSPOSE Buttons

You can determine to which part (keyboard, Song or both) the TRANSPOSE [-]/[+] buttons are applied. This

lets you transpose the pitch of the keyboard but not that of the Song (or vice versa) — allowing you to play

along with a Song in a more comfortable key, for example.

1 Call up the operation display.

[FUNCTION]  [D] CONTROLLER  TAB [ ][ ] KEYBOARD/PANEL

2 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select “2. TRANSPOSE ASSIGN.”

3 Press the [4]/[5] buttons to select the desired transpose type.

You can confirm the setting here by viewing the pop-up window called up via the TRANSPOSE [-]/[+] buttons.

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 charac-

ter. The scale was used extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven, and

even now it is often used when performing period music on the harpsichord.

ARABIC1, ARABIC2 Use these tunings when playing Arabic music.

[2] BASE NOTE Determines the base note for each scale. When the base note is changed,

the pitch of the keyboard is transposed, yet maintains the original pitch

relationship between the notes.

[3] –

[5]

TUNE Select the desired note to be tuned by using the [3] buttons and tune

it in cents by using the [4]/[5] buttons.

NOTE In musical terms a “cent” is 1/100th of a semitone. (100 cents equal one semitone.)

[6]/

[7]

PART SELECT Select the part to which the Scale Tune setting is applied by using the

[6]/[7] buttons. Then press the [8] button to add a check-

mark or press the [8] button to remove the checkmark.

CVP-601 Reference Manual 13

Voices – Playing the Keyboard –

 SOUND Page

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.

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.

VIBRATO

Vibrato is a quavering, vibrating sound effect that is produced by

regularly modulating the pitch of the Voice.

[1] BRIGHT

(Brightness)

Determines the cutoff frequency or

effective frequency range of the fil-

ter (see diagram). Higher values

result in a brighter sound.

[2]HARMO.

(Harmonic

content)

Determines the emphasis given to

the cutoff frequency (resonance),

set in BRIGHT. above (see dia-

gram). Higher values result in a

more pronounced effect.

[3] ATTACK Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum level after the

key is played. The lower the value, the quicker the attack.

[4] DECAY Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain level (a slightly

lower level than maximum). The lower the value, the quicker the decay.

[5] RELES.

(Release)

Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after the key is

released. The lower the value, the quicker the decay.

[6] DEPTH Determines the intensity of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings result in a

more pronounced Vibrato.

[7] SPEED Determines the speed of the Vibrato effect.

[8] 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.

bar, the greater the volume.

[2] RESP

(Response)

Affects both the attack and release (page 13) 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.

[3] VIB. SPEED Determines the speed of the vibrato effect controlled by the VIBRATO

ON/OFF ([F]/[G] buttons) and VIBRATO DEPTH ([H] button).

[4] MODE The MODE control selects one of two modes: FIRST and EACH. In the

FIRST mode, attack (percussive sound) is applied only to the first notes

played and held simultaneously; while the first notes are held, any sub-

sequently 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.

[8] LENG (Length) Affects the attack portion of the sound producing a longer or shorter

decay immediately after the initial attack. The longer the graphic bar,

the longer the decay.

Chord Fingering Types

NOTE “AI” stands for “Artificial Intelligence.”

SINGLE FINGER 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 below 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 instrument 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 on page 17.

FINGERED ON BASS Accepts the same fingerings as 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 instrument will automati-

cally 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.

For a major chord, press

the root key only.

For a minor chord, simulta-

neously press the root key

and a black key to its left.

For a seventh chord, simulta-

neously press the root key and

a white key to its left.

For a minor-seventh chord,

simultaneously press the root

key and both a white and

black key to its left.

[1] STOP ACMP 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. Here, 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 for the

Pad part and the Bass channel of the selected Style.

FIXED

The chord played in the chord section will sound via the specified Voice,

regardless of the selected Style.

NOTE When the selected Style contains MegaVoices, unexpected sounds may result when this is set to

“STYLE.”

NOTE When you record a song, the chord detected by playing the Stop Accompaniment can be recorded

regardless of the setting here. 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.”

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 sec-

tions 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.

[7] TEMPO This determines whether the tempo changes or not when you change

Styles. If you want to avoid changing the tempo when selecting another

Style, select LOCK or HOLD.

Realtime Recording Characteristics — Loop Recording and Overdub Recording

• 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 27) and Delete (page 26).

For example, if you start recording with a two-measure MAIN section, the two measures are repeated

many times. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition, letting you overdub new

material to the loop while hearing previously recorded material.

When creating a Style based on an existing internal Style, overdub recording is applied only to the

rhythm channels. For all other channels (except rhythm), you need to delete the original data before

recording.

9 Start recording by pressing the STYLE [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” below.

NOTE You can turn off the desired channels by pressing the corresponding [1] – [8] buttons.

To continue recording with another channel, repeat steps 6 – 9.

Stop recording by pressing the STYLE [START/STOP] button.

Press the [EXIT] button to close the RECORD display.

Press the [I] (SAVE) button to execute the Save operation.

NOTICE

The edited Style will be lost if you change to another Style or turn the power to the instrument off without executing the Save operation.

Deleting recorded notes in the rhythm channel

When you are recording the rhythm channel (RHY1 or RHY2), you can delete a specific instrument

sound by simultaneously holding down the [E] (RHY CLEAR) button and pressing the appropriate key

on the keyboard.

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 channels (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 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 34. 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 34.

NOTE For the INTRO and ENDING sections, any desired chord or chord progression can be used.

Step Recording

In the EDIT Page, you can record notes with absolutely precise timing. This Step Recording procedure is

essentially the same as that for Song Recording (page 45) 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 exam-

ple, 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, the channel data can be entered and System Exclusive data can be edited (delete, copy,

or move). You can switch between the two by pressing the [F] button. However, Chord, Lyrics, and System

Exclusive data cannot be entered.

(clock) of the Style. The Groove settings are applied to all channels of the selected Style.

[1]/

[2]

ORIGINAL

BEAT

Specifies the beats to which Groove timing is to be applied. In other

“12 Beat” is selected, Groove timing is applied to 8th-note triplets.

[3]/

BEAT

CONVERTER

Actually changes the timing of the beats (specified in the ORIGINAL

BEAT parameter above) to the selected value. For example, when ORIG-

INAL 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.

[5]/

[6]

SWING Produces a “swing” feel by shifting the timing of the back beats, depend-

ing on the ORIGINAL BEAT parameter above. For example, if the speci-

fied 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 pro-

nounced.

[7]/

[8]

FINE Selects a variety of Groove “templates” to be applied to the selected sec-

tion. The “PUSH” settings cause certain beats to be played early, while

“HEAVY” settings delay the timing of certain beats. The numbered set-

tings (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.

Making Style File Format Settings

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 below 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, in the PARAMETER Page.

Chord changes via the chord section of the keyboard.

Output

This instrument’s Styles are compatible with SFF GE — an enhanced format of the original SFF with

especially rich, expressive guitar parts.

NOTE The Style files created on this instrument can only be played back on instruments which are compatible with SFF GE.

Source Pattern settings — SOURCE (PLAY) ROOT/CHORD (page 34)

The Style data is appropriately converted depending on chord changes you make during your

performance. You can create the “Source Pattern” with the Style Creator, which determines how the

played chord will be converted. Here the “Source Chord” (page 34) can be set, allowing you to record

accompaniment channels.

Note Transposition settings — NTR and NTT (page 35)

This parameter group features two parameters that determine how the notes of the Source Pattern are to

be converted in response to chord changes.

Other settings — HIGH KEY, NOTE LIMIT and RTR (page 37)

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., high bass sounds or low piccolo sounds).

4 Press the [I] (SAVE) button to execute the Save operation.

NOTICE

The edited Style will be lost if you change to another Style or turn the power to the instrument off without executing the Save operation.

1 SOURCE (PLAY) 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 Chord 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.

NOTE When NTR is set to “Root Fixed,” NTT is set to “Bypass” and NTT BASS is set to “OFF,” the “Source Root” and “Source Chord” parameters are changed

to “Play Root” and “Play Chord,” respectively. In this case, you can change chords and hear the resulting sound for all channels.

NOTE SOURCE ROOT/CHORD is not applied when NTR is set to GUITAR.

verted from the Source Pattern in response to chord changes. Refer to

the list below.

[7]

NTT (Note

Transposition

Table)

Sets the note transposition table for the source pattern. Refer to the list

below.

[8]NTT BASS ON/

OFF

The channel for which this is set to ON will be played back by the bass

root note, when the on-bass chord is recognized by the instrument.

When NTR is set to GUITAR and this parameter is set to ON, only notes

assigned to bass will be played back by the bass root note.

ROOT TRANS

(Root Transpose)

When the root note is transposed, the interval

between notes is maintained. For example, the

notes C3, E3 and G3 in the key of C become F3,

A3 and C4 when they are transposed to F. Use

this setting for channels that contain melody

lines.

ROOT FIXED The note is kept as close as possible to the previ-

ous note range. For example, the notes C3, E3

and G3 in the key of C become C3, F3 and A3

when they are transposed to F. Use this setting

for channels that contain chord parts.

GUITAR This is exclusively for transposing guitar accompaniment. Notes are trans-

posed to approximate the chords played with natural guitar fingering.

BYPASS When NTR is set to ROOT FIXED, the transposition table used does not do

any note conversion. When NTR is set to ROOT TRANS, the table used

only converts the notes by maintaining the pitch relationship between notes.

MELODY Suitable for melody line transposition. Use this for melody channels such as

Phrase 1 and Phrase 2.

CHORD Suitable for chordal parts 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 semi-

tone. 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 intervals of the Source Pattern.

DORIAN 5th In addition to the Dorian transposition above, augmented and diminished

chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern.

ALL-PURPOSE This table covers both strummed- and arpeggio-played sound.

STROKE Suitable for stroke-played sound of the guitar. Some notes may sound as if

it is muted — this is normal condition when the chord is played on guitar by

stroke.

ARPEGGIO Suitable for arpeggio-played sound of the guitar. Using this table, four

notes arpeggio sounds most beautiful.

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 avail-

able only when the NTR parameter (page 35) is set to “Root Trans.”

[6] NOTE LIMIT

LOW

These set the note range (highest and lowest notes) for Voices recorded to

the Style channels. By judicious setting of this range, you can ensure that

the Voices sound as realistic as possible — in other words, that no notes

outside the natural range are sounded (e.g., high bass sounds or low pic-

colo sounds).

[7] NOTE LIMIT

1 QUANTIZE

The Quantize function allows you to align the timing of all the notes in a channel. For example, if you

record the musical phrase shown 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

to correct for this.

2 DELETE

You can delete the data of the specified channel in the Song. Select the channel whose data to be deleted

by using the [1] – [8] buttons, then press the [D] (EXECUTE) button to execute the operation.

[2]/

[3]

CHANNEL Determines which MIDI channel in the Song data is to be quantized.

[4] –

[6]

SIZE Selects the quantize size (resolution). For optimum results, you should

set the Quantize size to the shortest note value in the channel. For exam-

ple, if eighth notes are the shortest in the channel, you should use 1/8

note as the Quantize size.

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.

[7]/

[8]

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 spec-

ified percentage. Applying less than 100% quantization lets you pre-

serve some of the “human” feel in the recording.

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.

4 Use the [2] – [8] buttons to set the details of the selected functions (the part

for which the function is applied, etc.).

The available parameters differ depending on the function selected in step 3.

5 When you have selected the left or center pedal in step 2, press the [H] (DEPEND ON

R1 VOICE) button to turn this parameter OFF.

This setting locks the pedal function so that it does not change automatically when you change the Right 1

Voice.

6 If necessary, set the polarity of the pedal by using the [I] button.

Pedal on/off operation may differ depending on the particular pedal you’ve connected to the instrument.

For example, pressing down on one pedal may turn the selected function on, while pressing a different

make/brand of pedal may turn the function off. If necessary, use this setting to reverse the operation.

 Assignable Pedal Functions

For functions indicated with “*”, use only the foot controller; proper operation cannot be done with a

footswitch.

ARTICULATION When you use a Super Articulation Voice that has an effect assigned to the

pedal/footswitch, you can enable the effect by pressing the pedal/footswitch.

You can turn this function on or off for each keyboard part on this display.

VOLUME* Allows you to use a foot controller to control the volume. This function is

available only for the pedal connected to the instrument’s AUX PEDAL jack.

SUSTAIN Allows you to use a pedal to control the sustain. When you press and hold the

pedal, all notes played on the keyboard have a longer sustain. Releasing the

pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. If you are using the right

pedal or connected foot controller, the “HALF PEDAL POINT” parameter

allows you to specify how far down you should press on the pedal until the

damper effect starts working.

SOSTENUTO Allows you to use a pedal to control the Sostenuto effect. If you play a note or

chord on the keyboard and press the pedal while holding the note(s), the notes

will sustain as long as the pedal is held. However, all subsequent notes will not

sustain. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other

notes are played staccato.

NOTE This function will not affect any of the Organ Flutes and only some of the Super Articulation Voices, even if

this has been assigned to the Foot Pedals.

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. You can turn this pedal function on or off for

each keyboard part on this display. If you are using the right pedal or connected

foot controller, the “HALF PEDAL POINT” parameter allows you to specify

how far down you should press on the pedal until the soft effect starts working.

 Pre-programmed MIDI Templates

ALL PARTS Transmits all parts including the keyboard parts (RIGHT 1, 2, and LEFT), with

the exception of Song parts.

KBD & STYLE Basically the same as “ALL PARTS” with the exception of how keyboard parts

are managed. The right-hand parts are handled as “UPPER” instead of 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 or recording (Song, Style, etc.) synchronizes with an external MIDI

clock instead of the instrument’s internal clock. This template should be used

when you wish to set the tempo on the MIDI device connected to the instru-

ment.

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 rec-

ognized also as MIDI note events.

MIDI Pedal 1 MIDI pedal units allow you play connected tone generators with your feet

(especially convenient for playing single note bass parts). This template lets

you play/control the chord root in Style playback with a MIDI pedal unit.

MIDI Pedal 2 This template lets you play the bass part for Style playback by using a MIDI

pedal unit.

MIDI OFF No MIDI signals are sent or received.

MIDI Settings

The explanations here apply to the SYSTEM Page in step 4 on page 82.

Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the parameters (below), then set the ON/OFF status by using the [1] –

[8] buttons.

1 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.

2 Clock setting, etc.

 CLOCK

Determines whether the instrument 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 instrument is being used alone

or as a master keyboard to control external devices. If you are using the instrument with an external

sequencer, MIDI computer, or other MIDI device, and you want to synchronize it to that device, set this

parameter to the appropriate setting: MIDI, USB 1, or USB 2. In this case, make sure that the external

device is connected properly (e.g., to the instrument’s MIDI IN terminal), and that it is properly

transmitting a MIDI clock signal. When this is set for control by an external device (MIDI, USB 1 or USB

2), the Tempo is indicated as “Ext.” in the Main display.

NOTE If the Clock is set to something other than INTERNAL, the Style or Song cannot be played from the panel buttons.

 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 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.

3 MESSAGE SW (Message Switch)

 SYS/EX.

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.

 CHORD SYS/EX.

The “Tx” setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI Chord System 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 Page in step 4 on page 82. This determines which parts will

be sent as MIDI data and over which MIDI channel the data will be sent.

1 Use the [A]/[B] buttons or [1]/[2] buttons to select the part for changing

transmit settings.

With the exception of the two parts below, the configuration of the parts is the same as those already

explained elsewhere in the Owner’s Manual.

UPPER

A keyboard part played on the right side of the keyboard from the Split Point for the Voices (RIGHT 1

and/or 2).

LOWER

A 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.

2 Use the [3] buttons to select a channel via which the selected part will be

transmitted.

NOTE If the same transmit channel is assigned to several different parts, the transmitted MIDI messages are merged to a single channel — resulting in unex-

pected sounds and possible glitches in the connected MIDI device.

NOTE Protected Songs cannot be transmitted even if the proper Song channels 1-16 are set to be transmitted.

3 Use the [4] – [8] button to determine the types of data to be sent.

The following MIDI messages can be set on the TRANSMIT/RECEIVE display.

EXTRA PART 1–5

There are five parts specially reserved for receiving and playing MIDI data. Normally, these parts are not

used by the instrument itself. The instrument can be used as a 32-channel multi-timbral tone generator by

using these five parts in addition to the parts.

3 Use the [4] – [8] button to determine the types of data to be received.

MIDI transmission/reception via the USB terminal and MIDI terminals

Setting the Bass Note for Style Playback via MIDI Receive

The explanations here apply to the BASS Page in step 4 on page 82. 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

1 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the channel.

2 Use the [1] – [8] buttons to set the desired channel to ON or OFF.

You can also set all channels to OFF by pressing the [I] (ALL OFF) button.

Setting the Chord Type for Style Playback via MIDI Receive

The explanations here apply to the CHORD DETECT Page in step 4 on page 82. 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 types will be detected

regardless of the [ACMP ON/OFF] or Split Point settings. When several channels are simultaneously set to

“ON,” the chord type is detected from merged MIDI data received over the channels.

The operation procedure is basically the same as that of the BASS display above.

S.Articulation! See the Owner’s Manual, chapter 2. Natural! These rich and luscious Voices are comprised mostly of keyboard instrument sounds and are especially intended for playing piano and other keyboard parts. They also take full advantage of Yamaha’s advanced sampling technology such as Stereo Sampling, Sustain Sampling, and Key-off Sampling. 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 finely detailed and natural sound. CVP-601 Reference Manual 3 2 Voices – Playing the Keyboard – 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 Voice Set to adjust the various footages and craft your own original organ sounds. See page 16 for details. MegaVoice These Voices make special use of velocity switching. Normal voices use velocity switching, too — to change the sound quality and/or level of a voice according to how strongly or softly you play it. This makes the voice sound authentic and natural. With MegaVoices, however, each velocity range (the measure of your playing strength) has a completely different sound. For example, a guitar MegaVoice includes the sounds of various performance techniques. In conventional instruments, different Voices having those sounds would be called up via MIDI and played in combination to achieve the desired effect. However, now with MegaVoices, a convincing guitar part can be played with just a single Voice, using specific velocity values to play the desired sounds. Because of the complex nature of these Voices and the precise velocities need to play the sounds, they’re not intended for playing from the keyboard. They are, however, very useful and convenient when creating MIDI data — especially when you want to avoid using several different Voices just for a single instrument part. Actual sound maps for the MegaVoices are given in the separate Data List booklet that comes with your instrument. NOTE MegaVoices are not compatible with other models even though the model may have those types of Voices installed. Any Song or Style data you’ve created on the instrument using these Voices will not sound properly when played back on other instruments. NOTE MegaVoices sound differently depending on the keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you apply a HARMONY/ ECHO effect, change the trans- pose setting or change the Voice Set parameters, unexpected or undesired sounds may result. MEGAEnhancer – Converting MIDI Songs to Songs for MegaVoice playing – MEGAEnhancer allows conversion of conventional XG/GM song data to song data optimized for use with the MegaVoice feature on a compatible instrument or tone generator. MEGAEnhancer makes MIDI guitar and bass tracks come to life, with enhanced realism and expression. MEGAEnhancer can be downloaded from the Internet.

(Note that the “1+5” and “Octave” settings are not affected by the chord.) Multi Assign Type This type applies a special effect to chords played in the right-hand section of the keyboard. 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 When one of the Harmony Types is selected, the Harmony effect is applied to the note played in the righthand section of the keyboard according to the type selected above and the chord specified in the chord section of the keyboard shown below. Split Point Split Point RIGHT 1 and 2 Voices Chord section for Style playback and Harmony effect Split Point (for Style playback) Split Point (for the Voice) LEFT Voice Chord section for Style playback and Harmony effect 6 CVP-601 Reference Manual LEFT Voice and chord section for Harmony effect RIGHT 1 and 2 Voices  Multi Assign Type The Multi Assign effect automatically assigns notes played simultaneously on the right-hand section of the keyboard to separate parts (Voices). Both keyboard parts [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. Use the [4] – [8] buttons to select various Harmony/Echo settings. The available settings differ depending on the Harmony/Echo type. [4] 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. [5] 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. [6] 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. [7] 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. [8] 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). CVP-601 Reference Manual 2 Voices – Playing the Keyboard – 5 7 Pitch-Related Settings Fine-tuning the Pitch of the Entire Instrument You can fine-tune the pitch of the entire instrument — a useful feature when playing the Clavinova along with other instruments or CD music. Please note that the Tuning function does not affect the Drum Kit or SFX Kit Voices with name “*** kit” and audio files. 2 1 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION]  [A] MASTER TUNE/SCALE TUNE  TAB [L][R] MASTER TUNE 2 Use the [4]/[5] buttons to set the tuning in 0.2 Hz steps, from 414.8–466.8 Hz. Press the both 4 or 5’s [] and [] buttons simultaneously to reset the value to the factory setting of 440.0 Hz. Voices – Playing the Keyboard – Scale Tuning You can select various scales for playing in custom tunings for specific historical periods or music genres. 1 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION]  [A] MASTER TUNE/SCALE TUNE  TAB [L][R] SCALE TUNE 2 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the desired scale. The tuning of each note for the currently selected scale is shown.  Preset Scale types 8 EQUAL The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with each half-step evenly spaced in pitch. This is the most commonly used tuning in music today. PURE MAJOR, PURE MINOR These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale, especially for triad chords (root, third, fifth). You can hear this best in actual vocal harmonies — such as choirs and a cappella singing. PYTHAGOREAN This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and is created from a series of perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this tuning are slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some leads. MEAN-TONE This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by making the major third interval more “in tune.” It was especially popular from the 16th century to the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale. CVP-601 Reference Manual 3 WERCKMEISTER, KIRNBERGER This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger systems, which were themselves improvements on the mean-tone and Pythagorean scales. The main feature of this scale is that each key has its own unique character. The scale was used extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven, and even now it is often used when performing period music on the harpsichord. ARABIC1, ARABIC2 Use these tunings when playing Arabic music. Change the following settings as necessary. [2] BASE NOTE Determines the base note for each scale. When the base note is changed, the pitch of the keyboard is transposed, yet maintains the original pitch relationship between the notes. [3] – [5] TUNE Select the desired note to be tuned by using the [3] buttons and tune it in cents by using the [4]/[5] buttons. Voices – Playing the Keyboard – 2 NOTE In musical terms a “cent” is 1/100th of a semitone. (100 cents equal one semitone.)

For details, see page 78. 3 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. 12 [2] FILTER Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the Filter Cutoff Frequency. For details about the filter, see page 13. [3] AMPLITUDE Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the amplitude (volume). [5] LFO PMOD Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the pitch, or the vibrato effect. [6] LFO FMOD Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the Filter modulation, or the wah effect. [7] LFO AMOD Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the amplitude, or the tremolo effect. CVP-601 Reference Manual  SOUND Page 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. BRIGHT (Brightness) Determines the cutoff frequency or effective frequency range of the filter (see diagram). Higher values result in a brighter sound. Volume Cutoff Frequency These frequencies are “passed” by the filter. [2] HARMO. (Harmonic content) Determines the emphasis given to the cutoff frequency (resonance), set in BRIGHT. above (see diagram). Higher values result in a more pronounced effect. Frequency (pitch) Cutoff range 2 Volume Voices – Playing the Keyboard – [1] Resonance Frequency (pitch) EG The EG (Envelope Generator) settings determine how the level of the sound changes in time. This lets you reproduce many sound characteristics of natural acoustic instruments — such as the quick attack and decay of percussion sounds, or the long release of a sustained piano tone. Level Sustain Level ATTACK Key on DECAY RELEASE Time Key off [3] ATTACK Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum level after the key is played. The lower the value, the quicker the attack. [4] DECAY Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain level (a slightly lower level than maximum). The lower the value, the quicker the decay. [5] RELES. (Release) Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after the key is released. The lower the value, the quicker the decay. VIBRATO Vibrato is a quavering, vibrating sound effect that is produced by regularly modulating the pitch of the Voice. Pitch SPEED DEPTH DELAY Time [6] DEPTH Determines the intensity of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings result in a more pronounced Vibrato. [7] SPEED Determines the speed of the Vibrato effect. [8] 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.

[1] VOL (Volume) Adjusts the overall volume of the Organ Flutes. The longer the graphic bar, the greater the volume. [2] RESP (Response) Affects both the attack and release (page 13) 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. [3] VIB. SPEED Determines the speed of the vibrato effect controlled by the VIBRATO ON/OFF ([F]/[G] buttons) and VIBRATO DEPTH ([H] button). [4] MODE The MODE control selects one of two modes: FIRST and EACH. In the FIRST mode, attack (percussive sound) is applied only to the first notes played and held simultaneously; while the first notes are held, any subsequently played notes have no attack applied. In the EACH mode, attack is applied equally to all notes. [5] – [7] 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. [8] LENG (Length) Affects the attack portion of the sound producing a longer or shorter decay immediately after the initial attack. The longer the graphic bar, the longer the decay.  EFFECT/EQ Page Same parameters as in the VOICE SET “EFFECT/EQ” Page explained on page 14. 16 CVP-601 Reference Manual Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – Contents Selecting the Chord Fingering Type . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 17 Style Playback Related Settings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 19 Split Point Settings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 21 Calling up the Panel Settings to Match the Style (Repertoire) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 22 Memorizing an Original One Touch Setting . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 23 Confirming the One Touch Setting contents . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 23 3 Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 24 25 28 28 30 32 33 Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – • Realtime Recording . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . • Step Recording . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . • Style Assembly . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . • Editing the Rhythmic Feel . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . • Editing Data for Each Channel . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . • Making Style File Format Settings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Selecting the Chord Fingering Type There are seven different Fingering Types which let you specify the chord root and type for Style playback. 1 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION]  [C] STYLE SETTING/SPLIT POINT/CHORD FINGERING  TAB [L][R] CHORD FINGERING 2 Press the [1] – [3] buttons to select a fingering. For information on each fingering type, see page 18. Chord Tutor If you know the name of a chord but don’t know how to play it, the Chord Tutor function conveniently shows you which notes to play. On the CHORD FINGERING display, specify the Chord Root and Chord Type by using the [6] – [8] button. The notes you need to play are shown in the display. NOTE Depending on the chord, some notes may be omitted. CVP-601 Reference Manual 17 Chord Fingering Types SINGLE FINGER 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 below are used: C For a major chord, press the root key only. Cm 3 Cm 7 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 and both a white and black key to its left. Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – 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 instrument 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 on page 17. FINGERED ON BASS Accepts the same fingerings as 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 instrument 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. NOTE “AI” stands for “Artificial Intelligence.” 18 For a minor chord, simultaneously press the root key and a black key to its left. C7 CVP-601 Reference Manual Style Playback Related Settings The instrument has a variety of Style playback functions which can be accessed in the display below. 1 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION]  [C] STYLE SETTING/SPLIT POINT/CHORD FINGERING  TAB [L][R] STYLE SETTING 2 Use the [1] – [8] buttons for each setting. [1] STOP ACMP Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – 3 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. Here, 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 for the Pad part and the Bass channel of the selected Style. FIXED The chord played in the chord section will sound via the specified Voice, regardless of the selected Style. NOTE When the selected Style contains MegaVoices, unexpected sounds may result when this is set to “STYLE.” NOTE When you record a song, the chord detected by playing the Stop Accompaniment can be recorded regardless of the setting here. 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.” [2] OTS LINK TIMING This applies to the OTS Link function. This parameter determines the timing in which the One Touch Settings change with the MAIN VARIATION [A] – [D] change. (The [OTS LINK] button must be on.) REAL TIME One Touch Setting is immediately called up when you press a MAIN VARIATION button. NEXT BAR One Touch Setting is called up at the next measure, after you press a MAIN VARIATION button. CVP-601 Reference Manual 19 [3] SYNCHRO STOP WINDOW This determines how long you can hold a chord before the Synchro Stop function is automatically cancelled. When the [SYNC STOP] button is turned on and this is set to a value other than “OFF,” this is automatically cancels the Synchro Stop function if you hold a chord for longer than the time set here. This conveniently resets Style playback control to normal, letting you release the keys and still have the Style play. In other words, if you release the keys sooner than the time set here, the Synchro Stop function works. [4] 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. [5]/ [6] 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. [7] TEMPO This determines whether the tempo changes or not when you change Styles. If you want to avoid changing the tempo when selecting another Style, select LOCK or HOLD. 3 Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – LOCK The tempo setting of the previous Style is maintained. HOLD The tempo setting of the previous Style is maintained while Style is played back and another Style is selected. While Style playback is stopped and another Style is selected, the tempo changes to that of the initial default tempo for the selected Style. RESET The tempo changes to that of the initial default tempo for the selected Style. [8] PART ON/OFF This determines whether the on/off status of the Style Channels (Parts) changes or not when you change Styles. If you want to avoid changing the Style Channel On/Off status when selecting another Style, select LOCK or HOLD. LOCK The Style Channel On/Off status of the previous Style is maintained. HOLD The Style Channel On/Off status of the previous Style is maintained while Style is played back and another Style is selected.

CVP-601 Reference Manual 23 Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator) Styles are made up of fifteen different sections (Intro, Main, Ending, etc.) 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. Sections Channels 3 You can use one of the three different methods described below to create a Style. The created Style can also be edited. Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – • Realtime Recording This method lets you record the Style by simply playing the keyboard. See page 25. • Step Recording This method lets you to enter each note individually. See page 28. • Style Assembly This method lets you create a composite Style by combining various patterns from the internal preset Styles or from Styles you have already created. See page 28. Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION]  [F] DIGITAL REC MENU  [B] STYLE CREATOR NOTE The Style files created on this instrument can only be played back on instruments which are compatible with SFF GE. There are six Pages (tabs) in the Style Creator display. 24 • BASIC Creates the basic settings of the Style. You can also record your performance in realtime to create a new Style (Realtime Recording). See page 25. • ASSEMBLY Mixes the various parts (channels) from preset Styles or already created Styles to create a new Style. See page 28. • GROOVE Changes the rhythmic feel of your created Style. See page 30. • CHANNEL Edits data for each channel — quantizing, changing velocity, etc. See page 32. • PARAMETER Changes the settings related for Style File Format. See page 33. • EDIT Lets you enter notes one by one to create an original Style (Step Recording). See page 28. CVP-601 Reference Manual Realtime Recording In the BASIC Page, you can create a single Style by recording the individual channels one-by-one, using realtime recording. Realtime Recording Characteristics — Loop Recording and Overdub Recording • 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 27) and Delete (page 26). For example, if you start recording with a two-measure MAIN section, the two measures are repeated many times. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition, letting you overdub new material to the loop while hearing previously recorded material. When creating a Style based on an existing internal Style, overdub recording is applied only to the rhythm channels. For all other channels (except rhythm), you need to delete the original data before recording. When you want to create a Style based on an existing Style, select the desired Style to serve as the basis for recording/editing before calling up the Style Creator display. 2 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION]  [F] DIGITAL REC MENU  [B] STYLE CREATOR The BASIC Page is shown. 3 If you want to create a new Style from scratch, press the [C] (NEW STYLE) button to delete all channel’s data. 4 Select the desired section (Intro, Main, Ending, etc.) for your new Style.

NOTE Preset Organ Flute Voices can be recorded to the RHY1 and BASS–PHR2 channels. 8 If necessary, delete a channel by simultaneously holding down the [J] (DELETE) button and pressing the appropriate numbered button, [1] – [8]. You can cancel the deletion by pressing the same numbered button again before releasing your finger from the [J] button. NOTE When recording channels BASS–PHR2 based on the existing Style, you have to delete the original data before recording. 26 CVP-601 Reference Manual 9 Start recording by pressing the STYLE [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” below. NOTE You can turn off the desired channels by pressing the corresponding [1] – [8] buttons. Deleting recorded notes in the rhythm channel 3 10 To continue recording with another channel, repeat steps 6 – 9. 11 Stop recording by pressing the STYLE [START/STOP] button. 12 Press the [EXIT] button to close the RECORD display. 13 Press the [I] (SAVE) button to execute the Save operation. Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – When you are recording the rhythm channel (RHY1 or RHY2), you can delete a specific instrument sound by simultaneously holding down the [E] (RHY CLEAR) button and pressing the appropriate key on the keyboard. NOTICE The edited Style will be lost if you change to another Style or turn the power to the instrument off without executing the Save operation. 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 channels (i.e., C, E, G, and B). C R C C R C C = Chord note C, R = Recommended note 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 34. 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 34. NOTE For the INTRO and ENDING sections, any desired chord or chord progression can be used. CVP-601 Reference Manual 27 Step Recording In the EDIT Page, you can record notes with absolutely precise timing. This Step Recording procedure is essentially the same as that for Song Recording (page 45) 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, the channel data can be entered and System Exclusive data can be edited (delete, copy, or move). You can switch between the two by pressing the [F] button. However, Chord, Lyrics, and System Exclusive data cannot be entered. 3 Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – For instructions on Step Recording, refer to pages 45 – 48. For information on the EDIT display (Event List display), refer to page 57.

CVP-601 Reference Manual 29 Editing the Rhythmic Feel 1 2 3 1 3 Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – 1 In the GROOVE Page, use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the edit menu, then edit the data by using the [1] – [8] buttons. 1 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. 30 [1]/ [2] 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. [3]/ [4] 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. [5]/ [6] 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. [7]/ [8] FINE Selects a variety of Groove “templates” to be applied to the selected section. The “PUSH” settings cause certain beats to be played early, while “HEAVY” settings delay the timing of certain beats. The numbered settings (2, 3, 4, 5) determine which beats are to be affected. All beats up to the specified beat — but not including the first beat — will be played early or delayed (for example, the 2nd and 3rd beats, if “3” is selected). In all cases, “A” types produce minimum effect, “B” types produce medium effect, and “C” types produce maximum effect. CVP-601 Reference Manual 2 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. [3]/ [4] ACCENT TYPE Determines the type of accent applied — in other words, which notes in the part(s) are emphasized with the Dynamics settings. [6] STRENGTH Determines how strongly the selected Accent Type (above) will be applied. The higher the value, the stronger the effect. [7] 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. [8] 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. 2 Press the [D] (EXECUTE) button to actually enter the edits for each display. After the operation is completed, this button changes to “UNDO,” letting you restore the original data if you are not satisfied with the Groove or Dynamics results. The Undo function only has one level; only the previous operation can be undone. 3 Press the [I] (SAVE) button to execute the Save operation. 3 Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – [1]/ [2] NOTICE The edited Style will be lost if you change to another Style or turn the power to the instrument off without executing the Save operation.

[4] TOP [5] LAST [6] DEST Specifies the first (TOP) and last (LAST) measures in the region to be copied. Specifies the first measure of the destination location, to which the data is to be copied. 4 BAR CLEAR This function clears all data from the specified range of measures within the selected channel. 5 REMOVE EVENT This function lets you remove specific events from the selected channel. 2 Use the [1]/[2] (CHANNEL) buttons to select the channel to be edited. The selected channel is shown at the upper left of the display. 3 Use the [4] – [8] buttons to edit the data. 4 Press the [D] (EXECUTE) button to actually enter the edits for each display. After the operation is completed, this button changes to “UNDO,” letting you restore the original data if you are not satisfied with the results of the edit. The Undo function only has one level; only the previous operation can be undone. 5 Press the [I] (SAVE) button to execute the Save operation. NOTICE The edited Style will be lost if you change to another Style or turn the power to the instrument off without executing the Save operation. 32 CVP-601 Reference Manual Making Style File Format Settings 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 below 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, in the PARAMETER Page. Source Pattern settings — SOURCE (PLAY) ROOT/CHORD (page 34) The Style data is appropriately converted depending on chord changes you make during your performance. You can create the “Source Pattern” with the Style Creator, which determines how the played chord will be converted. Here the “Source Chord” (page 34) can be set, allowing you to record accompaniment channels. 3 Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – Chord changes via the chord section of the keyboard. Note Transposition settings — NTR and NTT (page 35) This parameter group features two parameters that determine how the notes of the Source Pattern are to be converted in response to chord changes. Other settings — HIGH KEY, NOTE LIMIT and RTR (page 37) 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., high bass sounds or low piccolo sounds). Output This instrument’s Styles are compatible with SFF GE — an enhanced format of the original SFF with especially rich, expressive guitar parts. NOTE The Style files created on this instrument can only be played back on instruments which are compatible with SFF GE.

NOTICE The edited Style will be lost if you change to another Style or turn the power to the instrument off without executing the Save operation. 1 SOURCE (PLAY) 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 Chord 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.

In this case, you can change chords and hear the resulting sound for all channels. NOTE SOURCE ROOT/CHORD is not applied when NTR is set to GUITAR. 34 CVP-601 Reference Manual 2 NTR/NTT [3]/ [4] NTR (Note Transposition Rule) Determines the relative position of the root note in the chord, when converted from the Source Pattern in response to chord changes. Refer to the list below. [5] – [7] NTT (Note Transposition Table) Sets the note transposition table for the source pattern. Refer to the list below. [8] NTT BASS ON/ OFF The channel for which this is set to ON will be played back by the bass root note, when the on-bass chord is recognized by the instrument. When NTR is set to GUITAR and this parameter is set to ON, only notes assigned to bass will be played back by the bass root note. NTR (Note Transposition Rule) ROOT FIXED GUITAR When the root note is transposed, the interval between notes is maintained. For example, the notes C3, E3 and G3 in the key of C become F3, A3 and C4 when they are transposed to F. Use this setting for channels that contain melody lines. 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. 3 When playing a C major chord. When playing an F major chord. When playing a C major chord. When playing an F major chord. Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – ROOT TRANS (Root Transpose) This is exclusively for transposing guitar accompaniment. Notes are transposed to approximate the chords played with natural guitar fingering. NTT (Note Transposition Table) When NTR is set to ROOT TRANS or ROOT FIXED BYPASS When NTR is set to ROOT FIXED, the transposition table used does not do any note conversion. When NTR is set to ROOT TRANS, the table used only converts the notes by maintaining the pitch relationship between notes. MELODY Suitable for melody line transposition. Use this for melody channels such as Phrase 1 and Phrase 2. CHORD Suitable for chordal parts 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 intervals of the Source Pattern. CVP-601 Reference Manual 35 3 Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – HARMONIC MINOR When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third and sixth intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third and flatted sixth intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond only to major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings. HARMONIC MINOR 5th In addition to the Harmonic Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern. NATURAL MINOR When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third, sixth and seventh intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third, flatted sixth and flatted seventh intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond only to a Major/minor chord such as Intros and Endings. NATURAL MINOR 5th In addition to the Natural Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern. DORIAN When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third and seventh intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third and flatted seventh intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond only to a Major/minor chord such as Intros and Endings. DORIAN 5th In addition to the Dorian transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern. When NTR is set to GUITAR 36 ALL-PURPOSE This table covers both strummed- and arpeggio-played sound. STROKE Suitable for stroke-played sound of the guitar. Some notes may sound as if it is muted — this is normal condition when the chord is played on guitar by stroke. ARPEGGIO Suitable for arpeggio-played sound of the guitar. Using this table, four notes arpeggio sounds most beautiful. CVP-601 Reference Manual 3 HIGH KEY / NOTE LIMIT [4]/ [5] 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 35) is set to “Root Trans.” Example — When the highest key is F.

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). 3 Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – [6] Root changes Example — When the lowest note is C3 and the highest is D4. Root changes CM Notes played E3-G3-C4 C♯ M ♯ E 3-G ♯ 3-C ♯ 4 FM F3-A3-C4 High Limit Low Limit 4 RTR (Retrigger Rule) These settings determine whether notes stop sounding or not and how they change pitch in response to chord changes. STOP The notes stop sounding. PITCH SHIFT The pitch of the note will bend without a new attack to match the type of the new chord. PITCH SHIFT TO ROOT The pitch of the note will bend without a new attack to match the root of the new chord. RETRIGGER The note is retriggered with a new attack at a new pitch corresponding to the next chord. RETRIGGER TO ROOT The note is retriggered with a new attack at the root note of the next chord. However, the octave of the new note remains the same.

Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION]  [B] SONG SETTING [A]/[B] GUIDE MODE [C] GUIDE LAMP [D] GUIDE LAMP TIMING [H] REPEAT MODE Song Playback – Playing and Practice Songs – 4 See page 42. Determines the method of repeat playback. OFF Plays through the selected Song, then stops. SINGLE Plays through the selected Song repeatedly. ALL Continues playback through all the Songs in the specified folder repeatedly. RANDOM Continues playback at random through all the Songs in the specified folder repeatedly. NOTE The preset Songs in the “Follow Lights” folder contain the Guide settings. These Songs are inap- propriate for use with ALL or RANDOM repeat. [I] PHRASE MARK REPEAT Phrase Mark is a pre-programmed part of some Song data, which specifies a certain location (set of measures) in the Song. When this is on, the section corresponding to the specified Phrase Mark number is repeatedly played back. [1] TRACK 2 [2] TRACK 1 These parameters determine which MIDI channel in the Song data is assigned to the Left- or Right-hand part of the Guide function and the Song Score function. CVP-601 Reference Manual 41 [3] AUTO CH SET When set to “ON,” this automatically sets the proper MIDI channels for the Right- and Left hand parts pre-programmed in the commercially available Song data. Normally, this should be set to “ON.” [5]/ [6] LYRICS LANGUAGE Determines the language of the displayed lyrics. AUTO When the language is specified in the Song data, the lyrics are displayed accordingly. When the language is not specified in the Song data, the lyrics language is regarded as INTERNATIONAL below. INTERNATIONAL Handles the displayed lyrics as a western language. JAPANESE Handles the displayed lyrics as Japanese. [7] QUICK START 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 switches to the appropriate tempo at the first note. This allows you to start playback as quickly as possible, with a minimum pause for reading of data. [8] P.A.T.

NOTICE 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. 54 CVP-601 Reference Manual 1 QUANTIZE The Quantize function allows you to align the timing of all the notes in a channel. For example, if you record the musical phrase shown 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 to correct for this. [2]/ [3] CHANNEL Determines which MIDI channel in the Song data is to be quantized. [4] – [6] 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 1/8 note as the Quantize size. 5 After 1/8 note quantization 1/4 note 1/8 note 1/16 note 1/32 note 1/16 note+ 1/8 note triplet* 1/4 note triplet 1/8 note triplet 1/16 note triplet 1/8 note+ 1/8 note triplet* 1/16 note+ 1/16 note triplet* Song Recording via MIDI – Recording Your Performance via MIDI – Settings: The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally convenient, since they allow you to quantize two different note values at the same time. For example, when the straight eighth notes and eighth notes triplet are contained in the same channel, if you quantize by the straight eighth notes, all notes in the channel are quantized to straight eighth notes — completely eliminating any triplet feel. However, if you use the eighth note + eighth note triplet setting, both the straight and triplet notes will be quantized correctly. [7]/ [8] STRENGTH Determines how strongly the notes will be quantized. A setting of 100% produces exact timing. If a value less than 100% is selected, notes will be moved toward the specified quantization beats according to the specified percentage. Applying less than 100% quantization lets you preserve some of the “human” feel in the recording. Quarter-note length Original data (assuming 4/4 meter) Quantizing strength = 100 Quantizing strength = 50 2 DELETE You can delete the data of the specified channel in the Song. Select the channel whose data to be deleted by using the [1] – [8] buttons, then press the [D] (EXECUTE) button to execute the operation. CVP-601 Reference Manual 55 3 MIX This function lets you mix the data of two channels and place the results in a different channel. It also lets you copy the data from one channel to another. [2]/ [3] SOURCE 1 Determines the MIDI channel (1 – 16) to be mixed. All MIDI events of the channel specified here are copied to the destination channel. [4]/ [5] SOURCE 2 Determines the MIDI channel (1 – 16) to be mixed. Only note events of the channel specified here are copied to the destination channel. Besides the values 1 – 16, there is a “COPY” setting that allows you to copy the data from Source 1 to the destination channel. [6]/ [7] DESTINATION Determines the channel into which the mix or copy results will be placed. 4 CHANNEL TRANSPOSE This allows you to transpose the recorded data of individual channels up or down by a maximum of two octaves in semitone increments. NOTE Make sure not to transpose channels 9 and 10. In general, Drum kits are assigned to these channels.

The following explanations cover the related operations and assignable functions (parameters). NOTE For information on how to connect a Footswitch or Foot Controller, refer to the Owner’s Manual, chapter 10. 10 1 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION]  [D] CONTROLLER  TAB [L][R] PEDAL 2 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select one of the three pedals or the AUX-connected pedal, to which the function is to be assigned. 2 5 6 3 3 4 Use the [1] buttons to select the function to be assigned to the pedal specified in step 2. For information on available parameters, see pages 79 – 81. NOTE You can also assign other functions to the pedal — Punch in/out of Song (page 52) and Registration Sequence (page 68). If you assign multiple func- tions to the pedal, the priority is: Punch in/out of Song  Registration Sequence  functions assigned here. 78 CVP-601 Reference Manual Use the [2] – [8] buttons to set the details of the selected functions (the part for which the function is applied, etc.). The available parameters differ depending on the function selected in step 3. 5 When you have selected the left or center pedal in step 2, press the [H] (DEPEND ON R1 VOICE) button to turn this parameter OFF. This setting locks the pedal function so that it does not change automatically when you change the Right 1 Voice. 6 If necessary, set the polarity of the pedal by using the [I] button. Pedal on/off operation may differ depending on the particular pedal you’ve connected to the instrument. For example, pressing down on one pedal may turn the selected function on, while pressing a different make/brand of pedal may turn the function off. If necessary, use this setting to reverse the operation. Connections – Using Your Instrument with Other Devices – 4  Assignable Pedal Functions For functions indicated with “*”, use only the foot controller; proper operation cannot be done with a footswitch. ARTICULATION When you use a Super Articulation Voice that has an effect assigned to the pedal/footswitch, you can enable the effect by pressing the pedal/footswitch. You can turn this function on or off for each keyboard part on this display. VOLUME* Allows you to use a foot controller to control the volume. This function is available only for the pedal connected to the instrument’s AUX PEDAL jack. SUSTAIN Allows you to use a pedal to control the sustain. When you press and hold the pedal, all notes played on the keyboard have a longer sustain. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. If you are using the right pedal or connected foot controller, the “HALF PEDAL POINT” parameter allows you to specify how far down you should press on the pedal until the damper effect starts working. SOSTENUTO Allows you to use a pedal to control the Sostenuto effect. If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held. However, all subsequent notes will not sustain. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played staccato. 10 NOTE This function will not affect any of the Organ Flutes and only some of the Super Articulation Voices, even if this has been assigned to the Foot Pedals. 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. You can turn this pedal function on or off for each keyboard part on this display. If you are using the right pedal or connected foot controller, the “HALF PEDAL POINT” parameter allows you to specify how far down you should press on the pedal until the soft effect starts working. CVP-601 Reference Manual 79 GLIDE When the pedal is pressed, the pitch changes, and then returns to normal pitch when the pedal is released. The following parameters can be set for this function on this display. UP/DOWN Determines whether the pitch change goes up (is raised) or down (is lowered). RANGE Determines the range of the pitch change, in semitones. ON SPEED Determines the speed of the pitch change when the pedal is pressed. Connections – Using Your Instrument with Other Devices – OFF SPEED Determines the speed of the pitch change when the pedal is released. LEFT, RIGHT 1, 2 Turns this pedal function on or off for each keyboard part. PORTAMENTO The portamento effect (a smooth slide between notes) can be produced while the pedal is pressed. Portamento is produced when notes are played legato style (i.e., a note is played while the preceding note is still held). The portamento time can also be adjusted form the Mixing Console display (page 73). This function does not affect certain Natural Voices, which would not sound appropriately with this function. NOTE This function will not affect any of the Organ Flutes, Super Articulation Voices and only some of the Super Articulation Voices, even if this has been assigned to the Foot Pedals. PITCHBEND* Allows you to bend the pitch of notes up or down by using the pedal. This function can be assigned to the right pedal or connected foot controller. The following parameters can be set for this function on this display. UP/DOWN Determines whether the pitch change goes up (is raised) or down (is lowered). RANGE Determines the range of the pitch change, in semitones. 10 LEFT, RIGHT 1, 2 Turns this pedal function on or off for each keyboard part. 80 MODULATION* Applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. Moreover, various effects can be added to the S. Articulation Voice. The effect becomes deeper when pressing down the foot controller. You can turn this pedal function on or off for each keyboard part on this display. DSP VARIATION Switches Voice Effect DSP VARIATION on and off.

CVP-601 Reference Manual ALL PARTS Transmits all parts including the keyboard parts (RIGHT 1, 2, and LEFT), with the exception of Song parts. KBD & STYLE Basically the same as “ALL PARTS” with the exception of how keyboard parts are managed. The right-hand parts are handled as “UPPER” instead of 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 or recording (Song, Style, etc.) synchronizes with an external MIDI clock instead of the instrument’s internal clock. This template should be used when you wish to set the tempo on the MIDI device connected to the instrument. MIDI 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. CVP-601 Reference Manual Connections – Using Your Instrument with Other Devices –  Pre-programmed MIDI Templates 10 83 MIDI Settings The explanations here apply to the SYSTEM Page in step 4 on page 82. Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the parameters (below), then set the ON/OFF status by using the [1] – [8] buttons. Connections – Using Your Instrument with Other Devices – 1 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. 2 Clock setting, etc.  CLOCK Determines whether the instrument 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 instrument is being used alone or as a master keyboard to control external devices. If you are using the instrument with an external sequencer, MIDI computer, or other MIDI device, and you want to synchronize it to that device, set this parameter to the appropriate setting: MIDI, USB 1, or USB 2. In this case, make sure that the external device is connected properly (e.g., to the instrument’s MIDI IN terminal), and that it is properly transmitting a MIDI clock signal. When this is set for control by an external device (MIDI, USB 1 or USB 2), the Tempo is indicated as “Ext.” in the Main display. 10 NOTE If the Clock is set to something other than INTERNAL, the Style or Song cannot be played from the panel buttons.  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 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. 3 MESSAGE SW (Message Switch)  SYS/EX. 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.  CHORD SYS/EX. The “Tx” setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI Chord System 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. 84 CVP-601 Reference Manual MIDI Transmit Settings The explanations here apply to the TRANSMIT Page in step 4 on page 82. This determines which parts will be sent as MIDI data and over which MIDI channel the data will be sent. 1 1 1 2 Connections – Using Your Instrument with Other Devices – The dots corresponding to each channel (1–16) flash briefly whenever any data is transmitted on the channel(s). 3 Use the [A]/[B] buttons or [1]/[2] buttons to select the part for changing transmit settings. With the exception of the two parts below, the configuration of the parts is the same as those already explained elsewhere in the Owner’s Manual. UPPER A keyboard part played on the right side of the keyboard from the Split Point for the Voices (RIGHT 1 and/or 2). LOWER A 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. 2 10 Use the [3] buttons to select a channel via which the selected part will be transmitted. NOTE If the same transmit channel is assigned to several different parts, the transmitted MIDI messages are merged to a single channel — resulting in unex- pected sounds and possible glitches in the connected MIDI device. NOTE Protected Songs cannot be transmitted even if the proper Song channels 1-16 are set to be transmitted. 3 Use the [4] – [8] button to determine the types of data to be sent. The following MIDI messages can be set on the TRANSMIT/RECEIVE display. NOTE (Note events) ..........page 58 CC (Control Change)........page 58 PC (Program Change) ......page 58 PB (Pitch Bend) .................page 58 AT (Aftertouch) .................page 58 CVP-601 Reference Manual 85 MIDI Receive Settings The explanations here apply to the RECEIVE Page in step 4 on page 82. This determines which parts will receive MIDI data and over which MIDI channels the data will be received. 1 Connections – Using Your Instrument with Other Devices – The dots corresponding to each channel (1–16) flash briefly whenever any data is received on the channel(s). 1 2 3 1 Use the [A]/[B] buttons or [1]/[2] buttons to select the channel to be received. The instrument can receive MIDI messages over 32 channels (16 channels x 2 ports) by USB connection. 2 Use the [3] buttons to select the part via which the selected channel will be received. With the exception of the two parts below, the configuration of the parts is the same as those already explained elsewhere in the Owner’s Manual. KEYBOARD The received note messages control the instrument’s keyboard performance. EXTRA PART 1–5 There are five parts specially reserved for receiving and playing MIDI data. Normally, these parts are not used by the instrument itself. The instrument can be used as a 32-channel multi-timbral tone generator by using these five parts in addition to the parts. 10 3 Use the [4] – [8] button to determine the types of data to be received. MIDI transmission/reception via the USB terminal and MIDI terminals The relationship between the [MIDI] terminals and the [USB] terminal which can be used for transmitting/receiving 32 channels (16 channels x 2 ports) of the MIDI messages is as follows:  MIDI reception [MIDI IN] jack  MIDI transmission [USB TO HOST] jack [MIDI OUT] jack [USB TO HOST] jack Port handling USB1 USB2 Merge MIDI/USB1 01–16 86 CVP-601 Reference Manual USB2 01–16 MIDI/USB 01–16 Setting the Bass Note for Style Playback via MIDI Receive The explanations here apply to the BASS Page in step 4 on page 82. 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 . Connections – Using Your Instrument with Other Devices – 1 2 1 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the channel. 2 Use the [1] – [8] buttons to set the desired channel to ON or OFF. You can also set all channels to OFF by pressing the [I] (ALL OFF) button. Setting the Chord Type for Style Playback via MIDI Receive The explanations here apply to the CHORD DETECT Page in step 4 on page 82. 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 types will be detected regardless of the [ACMP ON/OFF] or Split Point settings. When several channels are simultaneously set to “ON,” the chord type is detected from merged MIDI data received over the channels. 10 2 The operation procedure is basically the same as that of the BASS display above.
