Procedure

Select the desired voice by pressing one of the [VOICE] buttons.

Then, when you start playing, re-adjust the [MASTER VOLUME] control for the most comfortable listening level.

TIP

To learn characteristics of the voices, listen to demo songs for each voice (page 18). Refer to “Preset Voice List” on page 62 for more information on the characteristics of each preset voice.

TERMINOLOGY

Voice:

On the Clavinova, a voice means a “tone” or “tonal color.”

TIP

You can control the loudness of a voice by adjusting the force with which you strike the keys, although different playing styles (touch sensitivities) have little or no effect with certain musical instruments.

Refer to “Preset Voice List” on page 62.

ENGLISH

Using the Pedals

The Clavinova has three foot pedals that produce a range of expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.

Damper (Right) Pedal

The damper pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the damper pedal is pressed, notes sustain longer. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes.

When you select the GRAND PIANO 1 or 3 voice on the CLP-F01, pressing the damper pedal activates the instru- ment’s special “Sustain Samples” to accurately recreate the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings.

When you press the damper pedal here, the notes you play before you release the pedal have a longer sustain.

TIP

The depth of the effect pro- duced by the “Sustain Samples” can be adjusted via the “Pedal Functions” (page 46) in Func- tion mode.
