Your Clavinova is a fine musical instrument that employs advanced Yamaha music technology. With the proper care, your Clavinova will give you many years of musical pleasure. q Stereo sampling of the acoustic piano voices offers unmatched realism and expressive power, while the AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generator system offers rich, realistic reproductions of all other voices. [. . . ] The Clavinova will normally also send a MIDI program change number whenever one of its voices is selected, causing the correspondingly numbered voice or program to be selected on the external MIDI device if the device is set up to receive and respond to MIDI program change numbers. This function makes it possible to cancel program change number reception and transmission so that voices can be selected on the Clavinova without affecting the external MIDI device, and vice versa. MIDI/ TRANSPOSE PIANO 1 PIANO 2 PIAN 3 Z Hold down the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. If the PIANO 2 LED is lit when the [PIANO 2] voice selector is pressed, you have turned program change reception/transmission OFF. If the PIANO 2 LED is not lit when the [PIANO 2] voice selector is pressed, you have turned program change reception/transmission ON. PIANO 2 PIANO 2 = Program Change OFF = Program Change ON C Release the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. 18 q Control Change ON/OFF Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI control change data received from an external MIDI device or keyboard, causing the selected Clavinova voice to be affected by pedal and other "control" settings received from the controlling device. The Clavinova also transmits MIDI control change information when one of its pedals are operated. This function makes it possible to cancel control change data reception and transmission if you do not want the Clavinova voices to be affected by control change data received from an external device or vice versa. MIDI/ TRANSPOSE ANO 1 PIANO 2 PIANO 3 CLAVIN TON Z Hold down the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. If the PIANO 3 LED is lit when the [PIANO 3] voice selector is pressed, you have turned control change reception/transmission OFF. If the PIANO 3 LED is not lit when the [PIANO 3] voice selector is pressed, you have turned control change reception/transmission ON. PIANO 3 PIANO 3 = Control Change OFF = Control Change ON C Release the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. q The Multi-Timbre Mode The Multi-Timbre mode is a special mode in which the Clavinova voices can be independently controlled on different MIDI channel numbers (1 through 10) by an external MIDI device such as the Yamaha DRC-20 Disk Recorder. The Multi-Timbre mode can be activated as follows: MIDI/ TRANSPOSE ANO 2 PIANO 3 CLAVINOVA E. PIA TONE 1 Z Hold down the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. X Press the [CLAVINOVA TONE] voice selector. If the CLAVINOVA TONE LED is lit when the [CLAVINOVA TONE] voice selector is pressed, you have turned the Multi-Timbre mode ON. If the CLAVINOVA TONE LED is not lit when the [CLAVINOVA TONE] voice selector is pressed, you have turned the Multi-Timbre mode OFF. CLAVINOVA TONE CLAVINOVA TONE = Multi-Timble Mode ON = Multi-Timble Mode OFF C Release the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. A Multi-timbre Example Here's an example of how you could use the Multi-Timbre mode to record two different parts on the DRC-20 Disk Recorder that will play different voices on the Clavinova when played back. MIDI OUT MIDI IN MIDI OUT MIDI IN DRC-20 Clavinova Z Connect the DRC-20 to the Clavinova as shown to the left. X Activate the Clavinova Multi-Timbre mode. V Select a voice and record the first part on the DRC-20. N Select a voice and record the second part on the DRC-20. M Still in the Multi-Timbre mode, play back the DRC-20. The recorded parts will be played back using the individual voices selected during recording, providing a full ensemble sound. 19 MIDI Functions q The MIDI Split & Left Local OFF Mode In the MIDI split mode one section of the Clavinova keyboard is used to play a Clavinova voice in the normal way, while the remaining section is used to play a second MIDI keyboard or tone generator such as the Yamaha DOM-30 Disk Orchestra Module. In this mode the right-hand section of the keyboard is used to play an internal Clavinova voice, while the left-hand section of the keyboard plays the external keyboard or tone generator. Playing the left-hand section of the keyboard produces no sound from the Clavinova. The "split point, " or the key that divides the left- and right-hand sections of the keyboard can be set at any desired key. The MIDI split mode is useful if, for example, you want to play a piano (Clavinova) voice with the right hand while playing a synthesizer bass line or string section with the left hand. [. . . ] Cords should also be disconnected when there is a high probability of lightening and/or electrical storm activity. 10. This product may be equipped with a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other). If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, turn the plug over and try again. If the problem persists, contact an electrician to have the obsolete outlet replaced. Do NOT defeat the safety purpose of the plug. 3. Care should be taken that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through any openings that may exist. 11. Some electronic products utilize external power supplies or adapters. [. . . ]
