● Control Change Messages
CONTROL
• Settings: Tx&Rx (transmitted/received),
OFF
• Basic setting: Tx&Rx
Control change messages are used for various non-keyboard perform-
ance controls, such as the damper pedal, or for expressive control of the
sound of a connected MIDI device, such as effects and volume. For ex-
ample, the Clavinova can respond to control change messages transmit-
ted from an external MIDI sequencer. (These messages do not affect the
keyboard-played voices.) Similarly, an external MIDI device can be con-
trolled by sending control change messages from the Clavinova to that
device. (Control change messages are transmitted when operating the
damper pedal, etc., on the Clavinova.)
Set CONTROL to OFF to disable the transmission and reception of
control change messages.
The control change data recognized by the Clavinova is listed in de-
tail on page 17 in the Reference Booklet.
● System Exclusive Messages
SYS EX.
• Settings: Tx&Rx (transmitted/received),
OFF
• Basic setting: Tx&Rx
System exclusive messages are used for more advanced or detailed
MIDI control, or for controls related to specific manufacturer’s devices.
Set SYS EX. to OFF to disable the transmission and reception of sys-
tem exclusive messages.
The system exclusive data recognized by the Clavinova is listed in
detail on page 19 in the Reference Booklet.
● Start/Stop Commands
START/STOP
• Settings: Tx&Rx (transmitted/received),
OFF
• Basic setting: OFF
A device that transmits the Start/Stop command can start and stop the
rhythm or sequence data performance of a receiving device via MIDI.
For example, you can transmit the Start/Stop command from an external
MIDI sequencer to start and stop the Auto Accompaniment or song play-
back on the Clavinova. Also, an external MIDI sequencer or rhythm ma-
chine can be started and stopped by starting and stopping the Auto Ac-
companiment on the Clavinova.
Set START/STOP to ON to enable the transmission and reception of
Start/Stop commands.

■ Receive Filter...........................................................................................................

RECEIVE FILTER
• Settings: ON, OFF (x 16)
• Basic setting: ON (x 16)
The Receive Filter function lets you prevent the Clavinova from re-
ceiving channel-specific MIDI messages — such as note data and control
changes — on certain MIDI channels.
This function is useful, for example, when you want to control some of
the Clavinova’s voices exclusively from an external sequencer, and others
using only the Clavinova’s keyboard or its built-in Auto Accompaniment
and Song mode functions. (You can also have the Clavinova ignore chan-
nels carrying messages that are intended for another instrument connected
to the Clavinova’s MIDI [THRU] terminal.)
By default, the Clavinova will receive messages on all 16 channels. Use
the following procedure to enable or disable the reception of a channel:
