Guide Control; Guide Methods And Piano Roll - Yamaha Clavinova CVP-105 Owner's Manual

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. (You can
try out the Guide function by pressing one of the GUIDE CON-
TROL buttons during playback of the "4. GUIDE Demo" song in
the Demo mode.)

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.

"FOLLOW LIGHTS" and "CueTIME"
software should be used with the Next
Note method, as the Easy Play and
Sound Repeat methods may not function
properly with such software.
If the 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 Func-
tions" on page 128.
If the guide lamps and piano roll are
transposed up or down...
The guide lamps and piano roll may be
transposed up or down by one or two
octaves for certain songs. The guide
lamps and piano roll will not indicate
notes exceeding the 88-key range of the
keyboard.
