The Connectors - Yamaha Clavinova CVP-59S Owner's Manual

The Connectors

Although the Clavinova is a self-contained musical instrument that
simply be plugged into the AC mains outlet and played, it also
features a number of connectors for system expansion.

........................................................................................
These jacks are intended primarily for use with
external synthesizers or tone generator modules.
For example, the outputs of the synthesizer/tone
generator can be to the Clavinova AUX IN jacks, al-
lowing the sound of the synthesizer/tone generator to
be reproduced via the Clavinova's internal amplifier
and speaker system. For monaural signal input (when
the connected device is monaural), use only the L/
L+R jack.
..................................................................................
The AUX OUT L/L+R and R jacks deliver the
output of the Clavinova for connection to an instru-
ment amplifier, mixing console, PA system, or record-
ing equipment. If you will be connecting the
Clavinova to a monaural sound system, use only the
L/L+R jack. When a plug is inserted into the L/L+R
jack only, the left- and right-channel signals are com-
bined and delivered via the L/L+R jack so you don't
lose any of the Clavinova's sound.
...................................................................
The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from
an external MIDI device (such as a synthesizer, se-
quencer, music computer, etc.) which can be used to
control the Clavinova. The MIDI THRU connector
provided on the CVP-79A, 69, and 69A re-transmits
any data received at the MIDI IN connector, allowing
"chaining" of several MIDI instruments or other de-
vices. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data
generated by the Clavinova (e.g. note and velocity
data produced by playing the Clavinova keyboard).
....................................................................................
An optional Yamaha FC7 Foot Controller can be
plugged into this jack for foot volume (expression)
control of the keyboard sound only (i.e. expression
doesn't affect the auto-accompaniment sound or disk
playback). Press the pedal forward to increase volume,
and backward to decrease volume.
• The input signal from the AUX
IN jacks is delivered to the AUX
OUT jacks, but is not affected
by the Clavinova's volume
control or reverb effect.
• The AUX OUT jack signal must
never be returned to the AUX
IN jacks, either directly or
through external equipment.
