3 MIDI [IN], [OUT], [THRU] terminals

Use MIDI cables to connect external MIDI devices to these connectors.

MIDI [IN]: Receives MIDI data.

MIDI [OUT]: Transmits MIDI data.

MIDI [THRU]: Transmits data received at the MIDI [IN] terminal as it is.

4 [AUX PEDAL] jack

A separately sold FC7 foot controller or FC4/FC5 foot switch can be connected to this

jack. By using an FC7 you can control the volume while playing to add expression to your

performance, or control various other functions. By using an FC4/FC5, you can switch

various selected functions on/off. To select the function that will be controlled, use the

[FUNCTION] parameter [AuxPedalFunc] (page 97). The [PLAY/PAUSE] function can

There are two different types of

USB terminals on the instrument:

USB [TO DEVICE] and USB [TO

HOST]. Take care not to confuse

the two terminals and the

corresponding cable connectors.

Be careful to connect the proper

plug in the proper direction.

MIDI performance data and

commands are transferred in the

form of numeric values.

Since MIDI data that can be

transmitted or received varies

depending on the type of MIDI

device, check the “MIDI

Implementation Chart” to ﬁnd out

what MIDI data and commands

your devices can transmit or

receive. The Clavinova’s MIDI

Implementation Chart is available

for downloading from the Yamaha

Manual Library.

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.
