Song Playback
Here’s where all of the amazing voices, effects, rhythms, styles and other sophisticated features of
the Clavinova come together — in songs!
As you heard in the Demos, the Clavinova contains many built-in recordings. But there’s more. On the CVP-203, check
out the included disk; on the CVP-205 or 203, call up the Song Open (PRESET) display. And there’s an even greater
wealth of song material you can enjoy with your Clavinova — in commercially available software.
The following songs are compatible for playback on the CVP-205/203. Refer to pages 74, 151 for more details on the
logos.
