Control Change On/Off; The Multi-Timbre Mode; The Midi Split & Left Local Off Mode - Yamaha Clavinova CLP-156 Owner's Manual

Control Change ON/OFF

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.
This function makes it possible to cancel control change data reception and transmission if you do not want
the Clavinova voices to be affected by control change data received from an external device or vice versa.

The MIDI Split & Left Local OFF Mode
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. In this mode the
right-hand section of the keyboard is used to play an internal Clavinova voice, while the left-hand section of the
keyboard plays the external keyboard or tone generator. Playing the left-hand section of the keyboard produces
no sound from the Clavinova. The "split point," or the key that divides the left- and right-hand sections of the
keyboard can be set at any desired key.
