VEnter and set the chords and/or style changes...........
To enter a chord, either play the chord with appropriate fingering in
the left range of the keyboard (lower than the split point), or highlight
ROOT or TYPE in the LCD display and use the data dial or [–] and [+]
buttons.
You can also select the chord by pressing the ROOT and/or TYPE
buttons.
The names of chords entered using the
keyboard are also displayed by the ROOT
and TYPE functions.
➔The name of the chord is displayed next to the keyboard icon in
the box at the right side of the display.
➾To enter a style change (style, section and tempo) simply make
the appropriate selections in the normal way.
➾Once the chord and/or style has been selected, press the SET
button.
➔A black box appears above the line at the current position in the
measure indicator, indicating that the data has been recorded at
that position. The cursor automatically moves to the next posi-
tion.
The recorded data is also shown in the display: the time signature,
style name, and section appear at the upper left, and the chord name
and tempo in the box at the right side of the display.
Continue moving the cursor to other positions and enter chords and
style changes in this manner. You can always check the entered data
during the operation by playing back the sequence using the [PLAY/
STOP] button.
The data recorded by the Chord Sequence function is listed below.
Data Recorded by the Chord Sequence Function
• Accompaniment style
• Section (MAIN A/B/C/D, Intro, Ending, Auto-fill, Fade-in/out, Break)
• Chord name
• Tempo
• Auto accompaniment part volume (MIXER settings)
• Rhythm on/off
• ACMP/SONG volume (as an initial setting only)
A fade-out cannot be entered during a fade-
in.
Entering Rhythm-only Sections
You can also record the rhythm alone (with-
out accompaniment) to your song. To do
this, record a blank chord in the desired
measure by leaving the TYPE function set
to “ ---.”
Entering a Break
•A complete break can be created by
setting the chord type to “ ---” and setting
the rhythm sound to “OFF” (see
“RHYTHM ON/OFF” below).
•The “break fill” pattern triggered by the
left pedal (page 138) cannot be entered
using the Chord Sequence function.
•The Clavinova will normally play a fill-in
pattern as it switches between variations
(MAIN A through MAIN D). To have the
Clavinova change the style variation at
the start of a measure without playing a
fill-in pattern, press the button for that
variation twice before pressing SET.
•The measure number is shown to the left
of the measure indicator.
•For information on other useful editing
features, see “Other Chord Sequence
Functions,” below.
•The same chord cannot be entered twice
in a row. If the chord displayed by the
ROOT and TYPE functions is the same
as the last chord that was recorded, the
Clavinova will not record a chord change
when the SET button is pressed.
