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.
This function makes it possible to cancel control change data reception and transmission if you do not want
the Clavinova voices to be affected by control change data received from an external device or vice versa.
●Control Change ON/OFF
ZHold down the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
XPress the [CLAVINOVA TONE] voice selector. If the CLAVINOVA
TONE LED is lit when the [CLAVINOVA TONE] voice selector is
pressed, you have turned control change reception/transmission OFF. If
the CLAVINOVA TONE LED is not lit when the [CLAVINOVA
TONE] voice selector is pressed, you have turned control change re-
ception/transmission ON.
CRelease the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
The Multi-Timbre mode is a special mode in which the Clavinova voices
can be independently controlled on different MIDI channel numbers (1
through 10) by an external MIDI device such as the Yamaha DRC-20 Disk
Recorder. The Multi-Timbre mode can be activated as follows:
ZHold down the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
XPress the [E. PIANO] voice selector. If the E. PIANO LED is lit when
the [E. PIANO] voice selector is pressed, you have turned the Multi-
Timbre mode ON. If the E. PIANO LED is not lit when the [E. PI-
ANO] voice selector is pressed, you have turned the Multi-Timbre
mode OFF.
CRelease the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
A Multi-timbre Example
Here’s an example of how you could use the Multi-Timbre mode to
record two different parts on the DRC-20 Disk Recorder that will play dif-
ferent voices on the Clavinova when played back.
ZConnect the DRC-20 to the Clavinova as shown to the left.
XActivate the Clavinova Multi-Timbre mode.
CSet the DRC-20 track 1 to record.
VSelect a voice and record the first part on the DRC-20.
BSet the DRC-20 track 2 to record.
NSelect a voice and record the second part on the DRC-20.
MStill in the Multi-Timbre mode, play back the DRC-20. The recorded
parts will be played back using the individual voices selected during
recording, providing a full ensemble sound.
