The average life span of this type of battery is approximately five years. When replacement becomes necessary, contact a qualified service representative to perform the replacement. [. . . ] Pressing the key to the left of C3 (B2) transposes the pitch of the keyboard down a semitone, the next key to the left (Bb2) transposes down a whole tone (two semitones), etc. , down to the F#2 key which transposes down 6 semitones. Upward transposition is accomplished in the same way using the keys to the right of C3, up to F#3 which transposes up 6 semitones. NOTE -1 w TEMPO v · Hold either the TEMPO [s] or [t] button for continuous scrolling in the specified direction. · Notes below and above the A-1 -- C7 of the Clavinova sound one octave higher and lower, respectively. · If the VIBES indicator lights when the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button is pressed, the Individual Key Tuning mode is ON (see page 16) and the transposition function cannot be used. 11 Pitch Control Pitch control makes it possible to tune the Clavinova over a ±50-cent range (approximate) in approximately 1. 2-cent or 1-hertz intervals. A hundred "cents" equals one semitone, so the tuning range provided allows fine tuning of overall pitch over a range of approximately a semitone. Pitch control is useful for tuning the Clavinova to match other instruments or recorded music. q Tuning Up A-1 B-1 C3 B3 Z w TEMPO v To tune up (raise pitch), hold the A-1 and B-1 keys simultaneously (A-1 and B-1 are the two lowest white keys on the keyboard) and press any key between C3 and B3. Each time a key in this range is pressed the pitch is raised by approximately 1. 2 cents, up to a maximum of about 50 cents above standard pitch. To raise the pitch in 1-hertz increments press the TEMPO [s] button instead of the C3-B3 keys. The TEMPO [t] button can also be used to tune down while the A-1 and B-1 keys are held. Release the A-1 and B-1 keys. X q Tuning Down A#-1 A -1 C3 B3 Z w TEMPO v To tune down (lower pitch), hold the A-1 and A#-1 keys simultaneously and press any key between C3 and B3.

The default tempo of 120 beats per minute is automatically set when the power is initially turned on. Press the TEMPO [s] and [t] buttons simultaneously to instantly recall the default tempo (120) at any time. The tempo value in the Recorder memory is recalled if the TEMPO [s] and [t] buttons are pressed simultaneously during recorder playback or when a green track indicator is lit. NOTE · Hold either the TEMPO [s] or [t] button for continuous scrolling in the specified direction. 13 Using the Recorder The CLP-670E features a two-track recorder that lets you record what you play on the keyboard and then play it back. Since you have two tracks, you can "overdub" one part on top of another, using a different voice if you like, to create complex, rich-sounding recordings. The recorder feature is a useful adjunct to any keyboard study program, since it lets you hear exactly how you sound from the listener's perspective. The recorder actually records the following data: Parameters Recorded for Each track q Notes played q Voice selection q Dual mode voices q Dual balance q Damper pedal q Soft pedal q Sostenuto pedal (not recorded as an initial setting) q Brilliance q Effect Parameters Recorded for the Entire Song q Reverb type q Reverb depth q Tempo (initial setting only) Recording Z Engage the Record Ready Mode RECORDER 1 2 PLAY REC Press the RECORDER [REC] button to engage the record ready mode (recording does not actually start yet). The [REC] button indicator will light and the rightmost beat indicator dot will flash at the current tempo. NOTE · You can record up to a maximum of about 4, 200 notes (26 kilobytes) depending on pedal usage and other factors. The [REC] button and record track indicators will begin to flash when the recorder memory is almost full ("FUL" will appear on the TEMPO display) and recording will stop automatically. · The amount of remaining memory is displayed in kilobytes (approximate) when the [REC] button is released, or when a record track button is pressed as in step 2, below. 26 X Select the Record Track RECORDER 1 2 When the record mode is engaged in the previous step, the last-recorded track will automatically be selected for recording and its indicator -- i. e. the [1] or [2] button indicator -- will glow red. If you want to record on a different track, press the appropriate track button so that its indicator glows red. NOTE PLAY REC · The track button indicators of tracks which contain previously recorded data will glow green (unless the track is turned off as described below).
