In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched for proper data transfer. A “Multi-timbre” receive mode is also available, which allows simultaneous reception of different parts on all 16 MIDI channels, allowing the Clavinova to play multi-channel song data received from a music computer or sequencer.

NOTE • Panel setting data can only be transferred between the same models (i.e. CLP-411 data cannot be F6.8/F8.8: Bulk Data Dump This function is used to transmit all data stored in the Recorder memory to a MIDI data storage device such as the Yamaha DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit, other sequence recorders, or MIDI compatible computers.
