About MIDI
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard format for data
transmission/reception. It enables the transfer of performance data and commands
between MIDI devices and personal computers. Using MIDI, you can control a
connected MIDI device from the Clavinova, or control the Clavinova from a
connected MIDI device or computer.

[AUX PEDAL] jack
A separately sold FC7 foot controller or FC4/FC5 foot switch can be connected to this
jack. By using an FC7 you can control the volume while playing to add expression to your
performance, or control various other functions. By using an FC4/FC5, you can switch
various selected functions on/off. To select the function that will be controlled, use the
[FUNCTION] parameter [AuxPedalFunc] (page 97). The [PLAY/PAUSE] function can
also be assigned to a foot switch (page 98).

There are two different types of
USB terminals on the instrument:
USB [TO DEVICE] and USB [TO
HOST]. Take care not to confuse
the two terminals and the
corresponding cable connectors.
Be careful to connect the proper
plug in the proper direction.
MIDI performance data and
commands are transferred in the
form of numeric values.
Since MIDI data that can be
transmitted or received varies
depending on the type of MIDI
device, check the "MIDI
Implementation Chart" to find out
what MIDI data and commands
your devices can transmit or
receive. The Clavinova's MIDI
Implementation Chart is available
for downloading from the Yamaha
Manual Library.
