The Connectors; Aux In L And R Jacks; Aux Out L/L+R; Midi In, Thru And Out Connectors - Yamaha Clavinova CVP-89 Owner's Manual

The Connectors

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, allowing the sound of the synthesizer/tone generator to
be reproduced via the Clavinova's internal amplifier and speaker system.
The AUX OUT L/L+R and R jacks deliver the output of the Clavinova for
connection to an instrument amplifier, mixing console, PA system, or recording
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 combined 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, sequencer, music computer, etc.) which can be used to con-
trol the Clavinova. The MIDI THRU connector re-transmits any data received at
the MIDI IN connector, allowing "chaining" of several MIDI instruments or other
devices. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by the
Clavinova (e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the Clavinova key-
board).
More details on MIDI are given in "MIDI Functions" on page 54.
An optional Yamaha EP-1 Expression Pedal 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.
A standard microphone with a 1/4" phone plug can be connected to the MIC.
jack. The microphone sound is then mixed with the Clavinova sound and delivered
via the Clavinova's speakers. The MIC. VOL. control can be used to adjust the
microphone volume.
