Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head
Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument employs a precision magnetic read/write head which, after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of magnetic particles from the disks used that will eventually cause read and write errors. To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order Yamaha recommends that you use a commercially-available dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the availability of proper head-cleaning disks. Never insert anything but oppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or oppy disks.

To eject a oppy disk:

Before ejecting the disk, be sure to conrm that the oppy disk drive is stopped. If the disk drive is operating (during the [SaveToDisk] (P53), [DeleteSong] (P53), [RenameSong] (P54), [CopyDisk] (P55), or [FormatDisk] (P56) operation), the Clavinova displays [Executing]. Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off when the disk drive is operating. Doing so can damage the disk and possibly the disk drive. Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go; the disk will automatically pop out. When the disk is fully ejected, carefully remove it by hand.

Eject button

About the Floppy Disks
To handle oppy disks with care:
Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep oppy disks in their protective cases when they are not in use. Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids. Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed surface of the oppy disk inside. Do not expose the disk to magnetic elds, such as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since magnetic elds can partially or completely erase data on the disk, rendering it unreadable. Never use a oppy disk with a deformed shutter or housing. Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a oppy disk. Also make sure that labels are attached in the proper location.

Refer to Preset Voice List on page 103.

Voice group PIANO

E.PIANO/ BASS

Using the pedals

The Clavinova has three foot pedals: damper pedal (right), sostenuto pedal (center), and soft pedal (left) that produce a range of expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.

Damper (right) pedal

When you press the damper pedal, the notes you play have a longer sustain. When you select Grand Piano 1, pressing the damper pedal activates the instruments special Sustain Samples to accurately recreate the unique resonance of an acoustic grand pianos soundboard and strings.
When you press the damper pedal here, the notes you play before you release the pedal have a longer sustain.
TIP If the damper pedal doesnt work, or notes are sustained even when the pedal is not pressed, make sure that the RPedal parameter in the VOICE SETTING menu is set to ON (see page 81).

Sostenuto (center) pedal

If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held. All subsequent notes will not sustain.
When you press the sostenuto pedal here while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as you hold the pedal.
TIP You can adjust the depth of the resonance produced by the Sustain Samples using the Sustain Sampling Depth parameter in the OTHER SETTING menu. (See page 88.)

Soft pedal (left)

The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while the pedal is pressed. (The soft pedal will not affect notes that are already playing when it is pressed. Press the pedal immediately before you play the target notes.) With the Vibraphone and Jazz Organ voices, this pedal turns vibrato on and off or toggles the speed of vibrato. (See page 82.)
TIP You can assign a function to each pedal via the R Pedal, M Pedal, and L Pedal parameters in the VOICE SETTING menu. (See page 81, 82.) TIP The center and left pedals can also be assigned to song start/stop operation (START/PAUSE function) via the PedalStart/Pause parameter in the OTHER SETTING menu (on page 89).

About MIDI

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard format for data transmission/reception. It enables the transfer of performance data and commands between MIDI devices and personal computers. Using MIDI, you can control a connected MIDI device from the Clavinova, or control the Clavinova from a connected MIDI device or computer.
TIP MIDI performance data and commands are transferred in the form of numeric values.

PC-2 MIDI PC-1 Mac

MIDI connectors
MIDI [IN]: Receives MIDI data. MIDI [OUT]: Transmits MIDI data. MIDI [THRU]: Transmits data received at the MIDI [IN] connector as it is.
TIP Prepare dedicated MIDI cables.
Since MIDI data that can be transmitted or received varies depending on the type of MIDI device, check the MIDI Implementation Chart to nd out what MIDI data and commands your devices can transmit or receive. The Clavinovas MIDI Implementation Chart is listed on pages 31 and 32 in the Reference Booklet for the CLP-990. When you are using the MIDI connectors, set the [HOST SELECT] switch to MIDI. (See page 63.)

[TO HOST] connector

Use this connector to connect the Clavinova to a computer.
TIP When you are using the [TO HOST] connector, set the [HOST SELECT] switch correctly, according to the type of computer you are using. (See page 63.)
You can also obtain detailed information about MIDI from various music magazines and books.
TIP The type connecting cable varies depending on the computer. Refer to Connecting a Personal Computer on page 63 for more information.

Keyboard

Setting Local control on/off [LocalControl]
Local Control On is a state in which the Clavinova produces the sound from its tone generator when you play the keyboard. In Local Control Off state, the keyboard and the tone generator are cut off from each other. This means that even if you play the keyboard, the Clavinova will not produce the sound. Instead, the keyboard data can be transmitted via MIDI to a connected MIDI device, which can produce the sound. The Local Control Off setting is useful when you wish to play an external sound source while playing the keys on the Clavinova. See the procedure on page 72.
Selecting a type of data received via MIDI [ReceiveParameter]
This parameter enables you to specify which MIDI data the Clavinova can receive. See the procedure on page 72.

1.2.2 Modulation

This message is used primarily to control the depth of vibrato, but the depth of the following 7 types of effect can be controlled. The effect of this message can be changed by the following parameters. Multi Part Parameter 1. MW PITCH CONTROL 2. MW FILTER CONTROL 3. MW AMPLITUDE CONTROL 4. MW LFO PMOD DEPTH 5. MW LFO FMOD DEPTH 6. MW LFO AMOD DEPTH Effect1 Parameter 7. MW VARIATION CONTROL DEPTH (Valid when Variation Effect is assigned to a part as Insertion) By default, an LFO Pitch Modulation (PMOD) effect will apply. Control# Parameter 1 Modulation Data Range 0.127
When this is ON, the pitch will change smoothly between notes. The time over which the pitch changes is adjusted by Portamento Time (see 1.2.3). Also, when the Multi Part parameter MONO/POLY MODE = MONO, the tone will also change smoothly (legato) if Portamento = ON. If any of the following Multi Part parameter settings apply, that part will not receive Portamento. Rcv PORTAMENTO = OFF PART MODE = DRUM, DRUMS1, DRUMS2

1.2.10 Sostenuto

This message controls sostenuto pedal on/off. Control# Parameter 66 Sostenuto Data Range 0.63,64.127 (OFF, ON)
If sostenuto is turned on while a note is sounding, that note will be sustained until sostenuto is turned OFF. If the Multi Part parameter Rcv SOSTENUTO = OFF, that part will not receive Sostenuto.

This message controls soft pedal on/off. Control# Parameter 67 Soft Pedal Data Range 0.63, 64.127 (OFF, ON)
If the Multi Part parameter Rcv MODULATION = OFF, that part will not receive Modulation.

1.2.3 Portamento Time

This message controls the degree of Portamento (refer to 1.2.9). Control# Parameter 5 Portamento Time Data Range 0.127
The sound will become mellower when Soft Pedal is ON. If any of the following Multi Part parameter settings apply, that part will not receive the Soft Pedal. Rcv SOFT PEDAL = OFF PART MODE = DRUM, DRUMS1, DRUMS2
When Portamento (control number 065) is ON, this regulates the speed of the pitch change. A value of 0 is the shortest portamento time, and 127 is the longest portamento time. If the receive channel is a drum part, Portamento Time is not received.

1.2.12 Harmonic Content

This message adjusts the resonance of the lter that is specied for the sound. Control# Parameter 71 Harmonic Content Data Range 0.64.127 (-64.0.+63)

1.2.4 Data Entry

This message sets the value of the parameter which was specied by RPN MSB/LSB (see 1.2.22) and NRPN MSB/LSB (see 1.2.21). Control# Parameter 6 Data Entry MSB 38 Data Entry LSB Data Range 0.127 0.127
Since this is a relative change parameter, it species a boost or cut relative to 64. Higher values will produce a more distinctive sound. For some sounds, the effective range may be less than the possible range of settings.

1.2.13 Release Time

This message adjusts the EG release time that was specied by the sound data. Control# Parameter 72 Release Time Data Range 0.64.127 (-64.0.+63)

1.2.5 Main Volume

This message controls the volume of each part. This is used to adjust the volume balance between parts. Control# Parameter 7 Main Volume Data Range 0.127
Since this is a relative change parameter, it species an increase or decrease relative to 64. Increasing this value will lengthen the release that follows a note-off.
When the Multi Part parameter Rcv VOLUME = OFF, that part will not receive Main Volume. With a value of 0 there will be no sound, and a value of 127 will be the maximum volume.

1.2.14 Attack Time

This message adjusts the EG attack time that was specied by the sound data. Control# Parameter 73 Attack Time Data Range 0.64.127 (-64.0.+63)

1.4 Program change

This message reports sound selection changes and changes the program number of the receiving channel. In order to include changes to the voice bank, Program Change and Bank Select messages must be sent as a set (see 1.2.1). When RevPROGRAM CHANGE=OFF for Multi Part Parameter, the program change for that part is not received.

1.5 Pitch bend

This message conveys movements of the pitch bender. This message is generally used to modify the pitch of a part, but the depth of the following seven effects can be controlled. The effect of this message can be modied by the following parameters. Multi Part Parameter 1. BEND PITCH CONTROL 2. BEND FILTER CONTROL 3. BEND AMPLITUDE CONTROL 4. BEND LFO PMOD DEPTH 5. BEND LFO FMOD DEPTH 6. BEND LFO AMOD DEPTH Effect1 Parameter 7. BEND VARIATION CONTROL DEPTH (Valid when Variation Effect is assigned to a part as Insertion) By default, the Pitch Control effect is applied. If the Multi Part parameter Rcv PITCH BEND CHANGE = OFF, that part will not receive pitch bend messages.
1.3 Channel mode messages
These messages specify the basic operation of a part.

1.3.1 All Sound Off
