1 [POWER] Switch
Press the [POWER] switch once to turn the power
ON, a second time to turn the power OFF. When the
power is initially turned ON, the [PIANO 1] voice
selector LED will light.
2 [MASTER VOLUME] Control
The [MASTER VOLUME] control adjusts the vol-
ume (level) of sound produced by the Clavinova’s
internal stereo sound system. The [MASTER VOL-
UME] control also adjusts headphone volume when a
pair of headphones is plugged into the HEADPHONES
jack (page 6).
3 [BRILLIANCE] Button
This button can be used to change the tonality or “tim-
bre” of the selected voice. Three settings are provided:
MELLOW, NORMAL, and BRIGHT. To select one of
these settings, press the [BRILLIANCE] button a few
times until the indicator corresponding to the desired
setting lights. The NORMAL setting produces the
“normal” tone of the selected voice. The BRIGHT
setting creates a brighter or “sharper” tone, while the
MELLOW setting produces a “rounder” more mellow
tone.
4 [REVERB] Button
The [REVERB] button selects a number of digital
reverb effects that you can use for extra depth and
expressive power.

5 [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] Button
The [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button allows access to the
Clavinova’s TRANSPOSE function (to shift the pitch
of the entire keyboard up or down), keyboard touch
sensitivity adjustment, and MIDI functions. For details
refer to “TRANSPOSITION” on page 12, “TOUCH
SENSITIVITY” on page 12, and “MIDI FUNC-
TIONS” on page 14.
6 Voice Selectors
The CLP-123 has eight voice selectors. Simply press
any of the voice selectors to select the corresponding
voice. The LED indicator above the voice selector will
light to indicate which voice is currently selected.
The CLP-123 also has a DUAL mode in which two
voices can be played simultaneously across the full
range of the keyboard — see page 9 for details.
Note: The PIANO 1 voice is automatically selected when-
ever the [POWER] switch is initially turned ON.
