Yamaha CLP-611, CLP-811

TRANSPOSE

This feature allows you to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard, so that you

can continue to play in a signature that you are comfortable with while at the

same time “transposing” to match the key of a singer or of another instru-

ment. You can set the transposition in semitone increments. If you set it to 5,

for example, then each keyboard C will produce the sound of F, and any song

played in key of C will be produced in key of F.

Procedure

Hold down [TRANSPOSE] and

press [-/NO] or [+/YES] to set the

transposition interval, in semitone

increments. You can set to any

value from -12 to +12; the default

setting is 0.

CLP-811/611 Selecting and Playing Voices

DUAL Mode (Mixing two voices together)

This feature selects simultaneous play of any two voices. You can combine dissimilar voices for a duet-

like sound, or try working with similar voices to create a complex, layered type of sound.

DUAL or SPLIT...

It is not possible to use the DUAL

and SPLIT features at the same

time.

Handling of VARIATION

The current VARIATION setting

for each voice remains in effect

when you first enter DUAL mode;

the VARIATION indicator will be

lit if VARIATION is selected for

either or both voices. Once you

have entered the mode, each

press of [VARIATION] switches

variation ON or OFF for both

voices together. If you need to

set variation ON for one voice

only, you must do so before

entering DUAL mode.

Transposition settings...

-12: Down by twelve semitones

(one octave)

0: No transposition; notes

produce their standard pitch

+12: Up by twelve semitones

(one octave)

High and low pitch limitations

The CLP-811/611 does not

produce pitches above C7 (the

highest note on an 88-key

keyboard) or below A-1 (the

lowest note). If you transpose up

semitones, the highest

keys on the keyboard are

automatically sounded one octave

lower than the expected tone. If

you transpose down, the lowest

keys are automatically raised.
