Playing the Demos

The Clavinova features an extensive variety of Demo

songs, that showcase its rich, authentic voices and its

dynamic rhythms and styles.

What’s more, there’s a special selection of Demo

functions. These take you through a hands-on journey of

— letting you see ﬁrsthand how to effectively use the

Clavinova in your own music.

• Disk Song Playback (page 21)

• Short demo playback of the selected voice (in the Voice Open display; page 26).
