Yamaha CLP-611, CLP-811

CLP-811/611 Configuration Functions (FUNCTION mode)

13.3 Local (Local control ON/OFF)

Values: ON, OFF

Default: ON

Selects whether the Clavinova keyboard produces sound from

the Clavinova. More precisely, determines whether the

Clavinova’s keyboard drives the Clavinova’s internal tone-

generator system.

Under normal circumstances this setting is left ON, so that the

Clavinova keyboard produces sound from the Clavinova’s tone

generator. If you want to use the keyboard to control an

external MIDI device only, however, you would set this value

to OFF. This setting makes it possible, for example, to use the

keyboard to play an external device, while at the same time

using another external device to play the Clavinova.

13.4 PrgChg (Program Change enable/disable)

Values: ON, OFF

Default: ON

A MIDI Program Change message instructs the receiving

device to switch voices.

If you are using the Clavinova to control an external device, for

example, then each time you change the voice selection (by

pressing a different voice selector), the Clavinova will issue a

Program Change message telling the external device to switch

to the same-numbered voice. (Each voice is associated with a

unique program-change number.)

Similarly, if the Clavinova is playing MIDI data received from

an external device, then receipt of a Program Change message

will cause the Clavinova to change the voice used to reproduce

this data. (Note that this change applies only to the MIDI data;

the voice produced by the Clavinova keyboard does not

change.)

There are times when you may want to disable the use of

Program Change messages, so that voice switching at both

sides must be handled locally. You can do this by setting the

PrgChg value to OFF. In this case, the Clavinova will not

generate messages when voice selectors are pressed, and will

not respond to any Program Change messages that it receives.

• Program-change numbers on the CLP-811/611

Program-change number assignments on the CLP-811/611

are in conformance with the XG standard. Refer to “MIDI

Data Format” (page 48) for specific information.

13.5 CtrlChg (Control Change enable/disable)

Values: ON, OFF

Default: ON

Control Change messages transfer performance-related control

information from one MIDI device to another. Such informa-

tion includes pedal actions and volume settings.

If you are using the Clavinova to control an external device, for

example, then each time you step on the damper pedal a

corresponding Control Change message is issued to that

device.

If you are using an external device to control the Clavinova,

then Control Change messages received from that device will

cause appropriate changes at the Clavinova side. These

changes apply only to incoming MIDI data; panel settings and

keyboard sound do not change. (But note that reverb-depth

control change is an exception, since it affects both MIDI and

local sound.)

There are times when you may want to disable the use of

Control Change messages. You can do this by setting the

CtrlChg value to OFF, so that the Clavinova will not generate

these messages, and will not respond to any such messages that

it receives.

• Control Change implementation on the CLP-811/

611...

Refer to “MIDI Data Format” (page 48) for details.

13.6 MIDITrans (Transposition of outgoing MIDI

data)

Values: -12,...,12 (in semitones)

Default: 0 (no transposition)

Use this function to set transposition of note data being sent

out from the Clavinova. Note that this operation has no relation

to the keyboard transpotion set up by the [TRANSPOSE]

button.

13.7 SetupSnd (Transmit Panel setup file.)

This operation transmits the Clavinova’s current panel

configuration to an external MIDI sequencer such as the

YAMAHA DOU-10 Disk Ochestra Unit, so that it can be

restored to the Clavinova at a later time.

For example, assume that you want to record a performance to

a sequencer so that you can later play it back at the Clavinova

while at the same time playing along locally at the keyboard. In

this case you might find it convenient to first record the panel

configuration you will want to use for local play. The panel

will then set itself automatically just before playback begins.

Procedure

1Set the panel to the configuration that you want to record.

2Run a MIDI cable from the MIDI OUT connector on the

Clavinova to the MIDI IN connector on the sequencer.

3Enter FUNCTION mode and move to subfunction 13.7

SetupSnd.

4Press [+/YES] to transmit the setup.

The screen displays Completed briefly to indicate

that transfer is completed.

• Transmitted data...

In addition to the Panel data indicated on page 50 of the

“MIDI Data Format” section, the Clavinova also transmits

the key-by-key fine tuning data set up within the F2.KTune

function.

• To reload the data from the external device...

1. Run a MIDI cable from the MIDI OUT on the sequencer

to the MIDI IN at the Clavinova.

2. Begin transmission from the sequencer. (Refer to the

sequencer’s operation manual.)

The Clavinova automatically receives and loads the

data.

NOTE

It is not possible to reload the setup data into a

different Clavinova model. If you stored setup

data for a CLP-811, for example, then you can

reload the data to any CLP-811, but not to a CLP-

611.

13.8 BulkDump (Bulk data dump.)

This feature lets you permanently save recordings you have

made with the Clavinova’s RECORDER. The Bulk Dump

operation sends the performance data from both RECORDER

tracks to an external MIDI storage device such as the Yamaha

DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit. (Note that this information is

sent in the form of bulk data, rather than as sequence data.) The

saved data can later be restored by retransmission.

Procedure

1Run a MIDI cable from the MIDI OUT connector on the

Clavinova to the MIDI IN connector on the storage device.

2Set the storage device into the appropriate receiving mode.

(Refer to the device’s operating manual for instructions.)
