3. Local On/Off
This is used to cancel the sounds of the CVP-20. Sound is only heard
when the CVP-20 is played from an external device through MIDI.
In the Local On mode, sound is heard from the Clavinova as notes
are played (internal tone generator emits sound).
In the Local Off mode, however, the Clavinova does not respond to
the keys being played on its keyboard. It can still transmit informa-
tion through the MIDI OUT jack when keys are played, and it can
respond to MIDI data received through the MIDI IN jack. In the
connection below, the tone generator responds to the keys being
played on the Clavinova while the Clavinova responds to the MIDI
data being sent from the EMQ-1 Memory Box.

e Selecting the Local On or Off mode.
Step 1. Press E. PIANO 1/2 while holding down the MIDI/
TRANSPOSE button. The E. PIANO 1/2 voice selector's LED
is lit when in the Local Off mode. (If the LED is not lit, the Local
On mode has been selected.)
Note: When the keyboard is split or when Piano ABC is used, only
the upper keyboard can assume the Local Off mode.
4. Program Change On/Off
This is used to cancel the transmission and reception of voice select
information (program changes).
In the Program Change On mode, the Clavinova responds to any
program change data (voice change data) from an external key-
board. It will also transmit program change data causing the cor-
responding voice number to be selected on the external device if the
device is set to receive program change data.
In the Program Change Off mode, program change data is not
transmitted or received.
e Selecting Program Change On or Off mode
Step 1. Press HARPSICHORD 1/2 while holding down the
MIDI/TRANSPOSE button. The HARPSICHORD 1/2 voice
selector's LED is lit when in the Program Change Off mode. (If
the LED is not lit, the Program Change On mode has been
selected.)
5. Control Change On/Off
This is used to cancel the transmission and reception of DAMPER
and SOFT/SOSTENUTO pedal data, and the reception of other
control settings received from an external device.
In the Control Change On mode, the Clavinova responds to any
control change data from an external device and transmits control
change data to external devices that are set up to receive Control
Change data.
e Selecting the Control Change On or Off mode
Step 1. Press VIBES 1/2 while holding down the MIDI/
TRANSPOSE button. The VIBES 1/2 voice selector's LED
lights when in the Control Change Off mode. (if the LED is not
lit, the Control Change On mode has been selected.)

6. Multi-timbre On/Off
In the Multi-timbre mode, the Clavinova's voices can be indepen-
dently controlled on different MIDI channels from an external
device such as the Yamaha EMQ-1 Memory Box. The CVP-20
responds to these signals and functions as a multi-timbral voice
module. The possible reception channels, and initially set voices are
listed below.

tration below.
Clavinova
Step 2. Select the first voice and MIDI send channel number.
Record the first part on the EMQ-1.
Step. 3. Activate the CVP-20's Multi-timbre mode, then select a
new voice and MIDI send channel. Record the second part on
the EMQ-1 using its over-dubbing feature.
Step 4. While still in the Multi- timbre mode, select a third voice
and MIDI send channel. Record the third part on the EMQ-1 us-
ing its over-dubbing feature.
Step 5. Play back the EMQ-1 while still in the Multi-timbre
mode. The recorded parts are played back using the individual
voices selected during recording, providing a full ensemble
sound.
* Channel 15
Channel 15 is used for the transmission/reception of rhythm data
with set note numbers that conform to the note numbers of the
Yamaha EMR-1 Drum Box expander module. The CVP-20's
preset rhythm numbers are also transmitted through channel 15
as program change data.
Channel 15 is set to program change number 99 when the Multi-
timbre mode is first entered. No rhythm pattern sounds when this
program change number is selected. A pattern will sound only af-
ter a different program change number is received by the CVP-20.
(Program change numbers 99 and 98 are both non-sounding pro-
gram change numbers. They can be used for 4/4 time and 3/4 time
rests, respectively.)
The note assignments for the percussion instrument feature of
Channel 15 is shown in the following illustration. It is different from
the note assignments illustrated on the CVP-20's panel.
Note: If the note assignments shown on the CVP-20's panel are
desired for drum parts, use Channels 1 through 8.
