●Tuning Down
●To Restore Standard Pitch*
Pitch control makes it possible to tune the Clavinova over a ±50-cent range in approximately
1.2-cent intervals. A hundred “cents” equals one semitone, so the tuning range provided allows
fine tuning of overall pitch over a range of approximately a semitone. Pitch control is useful for
tuning the Clavinova to match other instruments or recorded music.

●Memorizing the Pitch Con-
trol Setting
C
7
Press the C7 key while holding the A-1/B-1, A-1/A#-1, or A-1/A#-1/B-1
key combination to memorize the current pitch control setting. The memo-
rized setting will be retained in memory for about one week after the power
is turned off, then the standard pitch will be restored. To keep the memo-
rized setting for longer periods, turn the power on briefly at least once a
week.
If this setting is not memorized as described above, it is retained in
memory only until the Clavinova is turned off.
