Selecting & Playing Voices

After making sure that the Clavinova's AC cord is properly plugged
into the Clavinova itself and plugged into a convenient AC wall outlet,
press the [POWER] switch located to the left of the keyboard to turn
the power ON.
When the power is turned ON, one of the voice selector LEDs will
light.
Initially set the [MASTER VOLUME] control about half way
between the "MIN" and "MAX" settings. Then, when you start playing,
re-adjust the [MASTER VOLUME] control for the most comfortable
listening level.
Select the desired voice by pressing one of the voice selectors. Use
the [VARIATION] button to select a variation of the current voice, as
required.
The Clavinova also offers keyboard touch response, so the volume
and timbre of notes played can be controlled according to how "hard"
you play the keys. The amount of variation available depends on the
selected voice.
You can also change add reverb and/or a chorus effect as desired by
using the [REVERB] and [EFFECT] buttons (see page 14 for [RE-
VERB] button operation, and page 15 for [EFFECT] button opera-
tion).
