MIDI Functions
In the MIDI split mode one section of the Clavinova keyboard is used to play a Clavinova voice in the normal
way, while the remaining section is used to play a second MIDI keyboard or tone generator such as the Yamaha
DOM-30 Disk Orchestra Module. In this mode the right-hand section of the keyboard is used to play an internal
Clavinova voice, while the left-hand section of the keyboard plays the external keyboard or tone generator.
Playing the left-hand section of the keyboard produces no sound from the Clavinova. The “split point,” or the
key that divides the left- and right-hand sections of the keyboard can be set at any desired key.

●The MIDI Split & Left Local OFF Mode

The MIDI split mode is useful if, for example, you want to play a piano
(Clavinova) voice with the right hand while playing a synthesizer bass line
or string section with the left hand.
When the MIDI split mode is activated, notes played on the left-hand
section are transmitted via the Clavinova MIDI OUT connector on MIDI
channel 2. Notes played on the right-hand section are transmitted on the
“basic channel” (i.e. the channel set using the MIDI channel selection func-
tion described previously).
ZPress the [HARPSICHORD] voice selector while holding down the
[MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. The HARPSICHORD LED will flash.
XWhile still holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button, press the key on
the keyboard at which you want to set the split point. The HARPSI-
CHORD LED will light continuously. The split-point becomes the first
key of the left-hand section.
CRelease the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
VTo return to the normal full-keyboard mode, hold the [MIDI/TRANS-
POSE] button and press the [HARPSICHORD] voice selector, then
release both buttons.
Note: When the power is turned ON the default split point key — F
#
2 — will be
automatically selected. If a new split point is selected it remains active until the
power is turned OFF or a different split point is selected.

●The MIDI Split & Right Local Off Mode

In the CLP-123 either the right- or left-hand section of the keyboard can be assigned to control an external
keyboard or tone generator. Assigning the left-hand section to external tone generator control was described in
the previous section. To assign the right-hand section to external tone generator control while playing the
Clavinova voices with the left hand, press the [VIBES] voice selector instead of the [HARPSICHORD] voice
selector when activating the Split mode (see the preceding section). All other operations are exactly the same as
described in the previous section.

●Transmitting the Panel Settings

This function causes all the current Clavinova control settings (selected voice, etc.) to be transmitted via the
MIDI OUT terminal. This is particularly useful if you will be recording performances to a MIDI sequence re-
corder which will be used to control the Clavinova on playback. By transmitting the Clavinova panel settings
and recording them on the MIDI sequence recorder prior to the actual performance data, the Clavinova will be
automatically restored to the same settings when the performance is played back.
ZHold down the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
XPress the [STRINGS] voice selector.
CRelease the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
