  • Page 15: Midi Functions

    “play” the corresponding note(s) whenever note and velocity data is received from an external MIDI device. The CLP-152S/153S transmits a MIDI program change number between 0 and 4 when one of its voice selec- tors is pressed. This normally causes the correspondingly numbered voice to be selected on a receiving MIDI device.
  • Page 16 MIDI/ TRANSPOSE MIDI/ TRANSPOSE MIDI/ TRANSPOSE The MIDI system allows transmission and reception of MIDI data on 16 different channels. Multiple channels have been implemented to allow se- lective control of certain instruments or devices connected in series. For example, a single MIDI sequence recorder could be used to “play” two different instruments or tone generators.
  • Page 17 MIDI Functions The MIDI functions listed to the right are engaged by holding down the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button and press- ing the corresponding voice selector. Full details are given in the following pages. “Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the Clavinova keyboard controls its internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard.
  • Page 18 Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI control change data received from an external MIDI device or keyboard, causing the selected Clavinova voice to be affected by pedal and other “control” settings received from the controlling device. The Clavinova also transmits MIDI control change information when one of its pedals are operated.
  • Page 19 In the MIDI split mode one section of the Clavinova keyboard is used to play a Clavinova voice in the normal way, while the remaining section is used to play a second MIDI keyboard or tone generator such as the Yamaha DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit.
  • Page 20: Troubleshooting

    VOLUME control turned up to a reasonable listening level? This can occur if there is a high-power transmitter in your vicinity. Contact your Yamaha dealer. This is usually due to turning ON or OFF a household appliance or other electronic equipment which is fed by the same AC mains line as your Clavinova.
