Touch Sensitivity
Four different types of keyboard touch sensitivity — HARD, MEDIUM, SOFT
or FIXED — can be selected to match different playing styles and preferences.
To select a touch sensitivity type press the [TOUCH] button a few
times until the indicator corresponding to the desired type lights (the
indicators light in sequence each time the [TOUCH] button is pressed).
HARD
The HARD setting requires the keys to be played quite hard to
produce maximum loudness.
MEDIUM
The MEDIUM setting produces a fairly “standard” keyboard response.
This is the initial factory default setting.
SOFT
The SOFT setting allows maximum loudness to be produced with
relatively light key pressure.
FIXED
All notes are produced at the same volume no matter how hard the
keyboard is played. This is an ideal setting for voices which normally
have no keyboard sensitivity (i.e. harpsichord and organ).
The volume of notes played in the FIXED mode can be set by using
the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons while the [TOUCH] button is held (the
current volume level appears on the display). The volume range is
from 1 through 127. The default setting is 64.
Transposition
Use the [–/NO] or [+/YES] button while holding the [TRANS-
POSE] button to transpose down or up as required. The transposition
range is from “–12” (down one octave) through “0” (normal pitch) to
“12” (up one octave). The amount of transposition appears on the LED
display while the [TRANSPOSE] button is held. The default transpose
setting is “0”.
NOTE
•The [TRANSPOSE] button indicator remains lit when a transpose setting
other than “0” is selected.
•Notes below and above the A-1 … C7 range of the Clavinova sound one
octave higher and lower, respectively.
The Clavinova’s TRANSPOSE function makes it possible to shift the pitch of
the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of 12
semitones (i.e. a maximum of one octave up or down). “Transposing” the pitch
of the Clavinova keyboard facilitates playing in difficult key signatures, and you
can easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other
instrumentalist.
