[. . . ] The CLP-260E/153S offers a number of MIDI functions that allows it to be used in fairly sophisticated MIDI systems. NOTE Data Being Recorded Playback Data MIDI OUT MIDI IN MIDI OUT MIDI IN DOU-10 Clavinova · Always use a high-quality MIDI cable to connect MIDI OUT to MIDI IN terminals. Never use MIDI cables longer than about 15 feet, since cables longer than this can pick up noise which can cause data errors. q MIDI "Messages" Transmitted & Received by the Clavinova The MIDI information (messages) transmitted and received by the Clavinova are as follows: Note and Velocity Data This information tells the receiving keyboard or tone generator to play a certain note (specified by the MIDI note number) at a certain dynamic level (specified by the MIDI velocity value). Note and velocity data is transmitted by the Clavinova whenever a key is pressed, and the Clavinova's internal AWM tone generator will "play" the corresponding note(s) whenever note and velocity data is received from an external MIDI device. Program Change Numbers The CLP-260E/153S transmits a MIDI program change number between 0 and 4 when one of its voice selectors is pressed. This normally causes the correspondingly numbered voice to be selected on a receiving MIDI device. The Clavinova will respond in the same way, automatically selecting the appropriate voice when a MIDI program change number is received. See "Program Change ON/OFF" on page 14 for information on turning program change number reception and transmission ON or OFF. Control Change Numbers Control Change data representing Soft, Sostenuto and Damper pedal operations is transmitted by the Clavinova whenever one of these pedals is used. If the receiving device is a tone generator or another keyboard, it will respond in the same way as the Clavinova's internal tone generator when one of the pedals is used. The Clavinova also receives and responds to the appropriate control change data. See "Control Change ON/OFF" on page 15 for information on turning control change number reception and transmission ON or OFF. 12 q MIDI Transmit & Receive Channel Selection MIDI OUT MIDI IN DOU-10 Tone Generator MIDI THRU (Set to receive on MIDI channel 2) MIDI IN Clavinova (Set to receive on MIDI channel 1) The MIDI system allows transmission and reception of MIDI data on 16 different channels. When using the DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit with the Clavinova, for example, Local Control should be turned OFF when recording using the DOU-10 voices only, and ON when recording the Clavinova voices while listening to playback of the DOU-10 voices. PIANO CLAVINOVA TONE E. PIAN MIDI/ TRANSPOSE Z Hold down the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. If the PIANO LED is lit when the [PIANO] voice selector is pressed, you have turned local control OFF. If the PIANO LED is not lit when the [PIANO] voice selector is pressed, you have turned local control ON. PIANO = Local Control OFF PIANO = Local Control ON C Release the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. q Program Change ON/OFF Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI program change numbers received from an external keyboard or other MIDI device, causing the correspondingly numbered Clavinova voice to be selected. 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. PIANO CLAVINOVA TONE E. PIAN MIDI/ TRANSPOSE Z Hold down the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. X Press the [CLAVINOVA TONE] voice selector.

CLAVINOVA TONE = Program Change OFF CLAVINOVA TONE = Program Change ON C Release the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. 14 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. [. . . ] Cable/s supplied with this product MUST be used.
