Guide Control
The Clavinova has a special Guide function which allows you to
practice by using the appropriate disk software. The “piano roll”
display and the keyboard guide lamp indicate which keys you
should play, and when you should play them. You can even
practice at your own pace since the Clavinova pauses playback of
the accompaniment until you play the correct keys.
The Guide function can also be used during playback of the “4.
GUIDE Demo” song in the Demo mode. Press one of the GUIDE
CONTROL buttons during playback of the “4. GUIDE Demo” song
in the Demo mode, and use the Guide function to play the melody
part.

Guide Methods and Piano Roll

The Clavinova has three different Guide methods that can be selected
depending on your playing experience or preferences. Beginning players
should practice first with Easy Play, then go on to Next Note, then Sound
Repeat.

■Practicing the Timing: Easy Play.....................................................

Since the Easy Play method lets you practice only the timing of the
notes, you can play anywhere on the keyboard. The melody will play
back smoothly when you play with the correct timing. (The accompani-
ment plays back normally in tempo.)

■Practicing the Notes: Next Note.......................................................

The Next Note method lets you check which notes to play by looking
at the piano roll display and the keyboard guide lamps. Since the
Clavinova waits to play the accompaniment until you play the correct
note, you can practice at your own pace.
The keyboard guide lamps indicate the timing in which to play, by
changing from lit-up to flashing.
When the keyboard guide lamps do
not flash...
• The guide lamps may not flash in the
case of a few songs because of a
special guide system. In case of such
songs, however, you can switch to the
Next Note method so that the lamps
flash, if you like. See the “Other
Guide-related Functions” on page 103.
