PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings. If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument. Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands. Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it. When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it. Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet. Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms. Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level. Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components. Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect proper operation of the other products. Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over. Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables. When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard. Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors. Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do not insert a finger or hand in the key cover gap. Never insert or drop paper or metallic or other objects between the slits of the key cover and the keyboard. If this happens, immediately turn off the power and remove the electric plug from the outlet and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. Do not place the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3 cm/one-inch from the wall), since this can cause inadequate air circulation, and possibly result in the instrument overheating. Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly process. Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might result in damage to the instrument or even injury. Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

The Split Mode (CLP-950)

The split mode makes it possible to play two different voices on the keyboard one with the left hand and another with the right hand. The Left Voice is played on all keys to the left of (and including) a specified split point key, while the Right Voice is played on all keys to the right of the split point key. To activate the split mode simply press the [SPLIT] button so that its indicator lights. The split mode can be turned off at any time by pressing the [SPLIT] button again so that its indicator goes out.
The dual and split modes cannot be engaged at the same time.
Selecting the Right and Left Voices...
RPSI- VIBRA- CHURCH JAZZ STRIN ORD PHONE ORGAN ORGAN SPLIT
The voice that was selected before the split mode was engaged becomes the Right Voice in the split mode. (The Right Voice can also be changed while in the split mode, by simply pressing the corresponding voice selector.) To select a Left Voice press the corresponding voice selector while holding the [SPLIT] button (default: [WOOD BASS]). The indicator of the Left Voice selector will light while the [SPLIT] button is pressed, then only the Right Voice selector and [SPLIT] button indicators will remain lit.
[EFFECT] in the Split Mode Depending upon the conditions, one effect type will take priority over the other. Depth will be decided according to the depth default value of the voice combination. However, using function F4 (see page 30) you can change the depth value for each voice as you like. Effect depth setting via the panel controls (i.e. pressing the [-/NO] or [+/YES] buttons while holding the [EFFECT] button see page 19) will be applied to the Right Voice only. [REVERB] in the Split Mode The reverb type assigned to the Right Voice will take priority over the other. (If the reverb is set to OFF, the Left Voices reverb type will be in affect.) Reverb depth setting via the panel controls (i.e. pressing the [-/NO] or [+/YES] buttons while holding the [REVERB] button see page 18) will be applied to the Right Voice only.
Setting the Split Point....
The split point is initially set at the F#2 key by default. You can change the split point to any other key by pressing the key while holding the [SPLIT] button (the name of the current split-point key appears on the LED display while the [SPLIT] button is held). The split point can also be set via the Function mode (see below).

In terms of Hertz, the overall tuning range is from 427.0 Hz to 453.0 Hz. The current tuning setting is shown on the LED display while the tuning is being adjusted. Tenths of a Hertz are indicated on the LED display by the appearance and position of one or two dots, as in the following example:
Display 440 4.40 44.0 440. 4.40.
Value 440.0 440.2 440.4 440.6 440.8
An alternative tuning method is available in the Function mode page 28.
The Metronome & Tempo Control
The Clavinova built-in metronome is a convenient feature for practice, and it can also provide a solid rhythmic guide when recording using the User Song Recorder feature, described in the next section.

The Metronome

START/ STOP TEMPO/FUNCTION TEMPO/FUNCTION/SONG
The metronome sound is alternately turned on and off by pressing the METRONOME [START/STOP] button. When on, the beat indicator flashes at the current tempo.

Beat indicator

Metronome Time Signature...
The time signature (beat) of the metronome can be set by using the [/NO] and [+/YES] buttons while holding the METRONOME [START/STOP] button. You can set the beat to 0, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 (the current setting appears on the LED display while the METRONOME [START/STOP] button is held). Press the [/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously while holding the METRONOME [START/STOP] button to recall the default setting 0 (no accent).
Metronome Volume Function..
The volume of the metronome sound can be adjusted via the Metronome Volume function in the Function modepage 32.

Tempo Control

TEMPO/FUNCTION TEMPO/FUNCTION/SONG
The tempo of the metronome and user song recorder playback (the recorder is described in the next section) can be set from 32 to 280 beats per minute by using the [TEMPO/FUNCTION t, s] buttons. The selected tempo will appear on the LED display while in the normal play mode and while the [TEMPO/FUNCTION t, s] buttons are being used to adjust the tempo in the recording/playback mode. The default tempo (120 or the recorded song tempo when the recorder contains data and the playback track indicator is lit) can be recalled by simultaneously pressing the [t] and [s] buttons.
Using the User Song Recorder
The ability to record and play back what youve played on the Clavinova keyboard can be an effective practice aid. You can, for example, record just the left-hand part, and then practice the right-hand part while playing back the recorded left-hand part. Or, since you can record up to two tracks separately, you could record the left- and right-hand parts separately, or record both parts of a duet and hear how they sound when played back.

The user song recorder actually records the following data:
I Entire Song G Tempo G Time signature (beat) G Reverb type (including OFF) G Effect type I Individual Tracks G Notes played G Voice selection G Dual mode voices G Split mode voices (CLP-950) G Damper pedal G Soft pedal G Sostenuto pedal (not recorded as an initial setting) G Effect depth G Reverb depth G Dual balance (F3) G Dual detune (F3) G Dual octave shift (F3) G Split balance (F4: CLP-950) G Split octave shift (F4: CLP-950)

Recording

GRAND GRAND E. PIANO E. PIANO HARPSI- VIBRA- CHURCH JAZ PIANO 1 PIANO 2 CHORD PHONE ORGAN ORG
Make All Necessary Initial Settings..
Before actually beginning to record, select the voice you want to record with (or voices if you will be using the dual or split mode). You might also want to set the volume and tempo controls.
Engage the Record Ready Mode..
ESET ONG TRACK 1 TRACK 2 START/ STOP REC
Press the [REC] button to engage the record ready mode (recording does not actually start yet). The record ready mode can be disengaged before recording by pressing the [REC] button a second time.
The record ready mode cannot be engaged while the demo/preset song mode is engaged.
Select the Record Track...
When the record mode is engaged in the previous step, the lastrecorded track will automatically be selected for recording and its indicator i.e. the TRACK [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.
The track button indicators of tracks which contain previously recorded data will glow green (unless the track is turned off as described below). The previously-recorded data on the non-record track will normally be played back as you record, so you can play along with a previously-recorded track. If you dont want to hear the previously recorded track as you record (when you want to record a song different from what you recorded on the previous track etc.,), press the playback track button before pressing the [REC] button (step 1, above) so that its indicator goes out. Recording on a track which already contains data will erase all previous data on that track. When the record mode is engaged the amount of memory available for recording will be shown on the LED display in approximate kilobytes (starting at 50), and the rightmost dot on the LED display will flash at the current METRONOME tempo setting.

Press [/NO] or [+/YES] once
V Set the function as required by using the [/NO] and [+/YES]

After selecting the function, the current setting will be displayed when the [/NO] or [+/YES] button is pressed for the first time.
B Press the [FUNCTION] button so that its indicator goes out to exit

from the function mode.

F1 Tuning
In addition to the tuning method described on page 22, overall tuning can also be accomplished via the F1 function. After selecting F1, use the [/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to lower or raise the pitch in approximately 0.2 Hz increments (the first time the [/NO] or [+/YES] button is pressed simply switches to the tuning value display without actually changing the tuning). The overall tuning range is from 427.0 Hz to 453.0 Hz (corresponding to the A3 notes Hz). Press the [/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default value 440 Hz. Tenths of a Hertz are indicated on the LED display by the appearance and position of one or two dots, as in the following example:
Display 440 4.40 44.0 440. 4.40. Value 440.0 440.2 440.4 440.6 440.8

F2 Scale

After selecting F2.Y, press the [+/YES] button to engage the scale function sub-mode, then use the [TEMPO/FUNCTION t, s] buttons to select the desired scale function, as listed below.

F2.1: Scale......

In addition to the standard Equal Temperament tuning, the Clavinova includes 6 classic tunings that you can select and use to play music of the corresponding period, or experiment with in a more modern context. The tunings are:
1: Equal Temperament 2: Pure Major 3: Pure Minor 4: Pythagorean 5: Mean Tone 6: Werckmeister 7: Kirnberger
Use the [/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to select the number of the desired tuning. Press the [/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default settings (Equal Temperament tuning).

F2.2: Base Note.....

Unlike Equal Temperament tuning, these classic tunings must be tuned to a specific key. Use the [/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to select the key you want the previously selected tuning to be based. The selected key will appear on the display, followed by a low bar if flat (e.g. A_) or a high bar if sharp (e.g. F~). Press the [/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default settings C.

In the dual mode first voice data is transmitted on its set channel, and in the split mode right voice data is transmitted on its set channel. In the dual mode second voice data is transmitted on the next greater channel number of the set channel, and in the split mode left voice data is transmitted on the next greater channel number of the set channel. In either mode, no data is transmitted if the transmit channel is set to OFF. Demo/preset song data and recorder playback data are not transmitted via MIDI. No MIDI reception occurs when the demo/preset song mode is engaged. Program change and other like channel messages received will not affect the Clavinovas panel settings or what is being played on the keyboard.
F7.3/F8.3: Local Control ON/OFF....
Local Control refers to the fact that, normally, the AUX IN OUT PUT MIDI Clavinova keyboard controls its internal tone generator, MIDI OUT R L L R IN allowing the internal voices to be played directly from DOU-10 the keyboard. This situation is Local Control On since the internal tone generator is controlled locally by Clavinova its own keyboard. Local control can be turned OFF, however, so that the Clavinova keyboard does not play the internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector when notes are played on the keyboard. At the same time, the internal tone generator responds to MIDI information received via the MIDI IN connector. 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. Use the [/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to turn local control On or OFF. Press the [/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting On.
F7.4/F8.4: 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 voice to be selected on the corresponding channel (the keyboard voice does not change). 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. Use the [/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to turn program change transmission and reception On or OFF. Press the [/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting On.

Connecting to a Personal Computer
Although the Clavinova can be connected to a personal computer via the MIDI IN/OUT connectors and a MIDI interface, the TO HOST connector and HOST SELECT switch allow direct connection to Apple Macintosh or IBM-PC/AT personal computers for sequencing and other music applications without the need for a separate MIDI interface.
When connecting the Clavinova to a personal computer, first turn the power to both the Clavinova and the computer OFF before connecting the cable and setting the HOST SELECT switch. After connecting the cable and making the appropriate HOST SELECT switch setting, turn the power to the computer on first, then turn on the Clavinova. When not using the [TO HOST] terminal of the Clavinova, make sure the cable is disconnected from the [TO HOST] terminal. If the cable is left connected, the Clavinova may not function properly. HS( will appear in the display if the host computer is not turned on, the connecting cable is not properly connected, the HOST SELECT switch is not in the proper position, or the MIDI driver or MIDI application is not active. In this case, turn the power off on both the Clavinova and the computer, and check the cable connection and the position of the HOST SELECT switch. Once the connection and HOST SELECT switch position is verified, turn the power of the computer on first, then the Clavinova, to check if the MIDI driver and MIDI application function properly. When the HOST SELECT switch is set to Mac, PC-1, or PC-2, no data transfer occurs via the MIDI connectors. To use the MIDI connectors for connection via a standard MIDI interface, set the HOST SELECT switch to MIDI.
Connecting to an Apple Macintosh Series Computer....
Apple Macintosh Series Computer Set to the Mac position.
Connect the TO HOST connector of the Clavinova to the modem or printer port on your Macintosh, depending on which port your MIDI software is using for MIDI data communication, using a standard Macintosh 8-pin system peripheral cable.
