Editable Parameters In The Voice Set Displays - Yamaha Clavinova CVP-401 Owner's Manual

Editable Parameters in the VOICE SET Displays

The following covers in detail the editable parameters that are set in the displays
explained in step 3 of the "Basic Procedure" on page 96. The Sound Creator param-
eters are organized into five different displays. The parameters in each display are
described separately, below. These are also treated as part of the Voice Set parame-
ters (page 102), which are automatically called up when the Voice is selected.
PIANO
This display is available only when the Natural! piano Voice (page 79) is selected.
TUNING CURVE Determines the tuning curve. Select "FLAT" if you feel the tuning curve
of the piano Voice does not quite match that of other instruments Voices.
STRETCH
Tuning curve particularly for pianos
FLAT
Tuning curve in which the frequency is octave doubled over the
entire keyboard range
KEY OFF SAMPLE Adjusts the volume of the key-off sound (the subtle sound that occurs
(CVP-405/403) when you release a key).
SUSTAIN SAMPLE Adjusts the depth of sustain sampling for the damper pedal.
(CVP-405/403)
STRING RESONANCE Adjusts the depth of string resonance.
(CVP-405)
COMMON
VOLUME Adjusts the volume of the current edited Voice.
TOUCH SENSE Adjusts the touch sensitivity (velocity sensitivity), or how greatly the
volume responds to your playing strength.
DEPTH
Determines the velocity sensitivity, or how much the level of the
voice changes in response to your playing strength (velocity).
OFFSET
Determines the amount by which received velocities are adjusted
for the actual velocity effect.
PART OCTAVE Shifts the octave range of the edited Voice up or down in octaves.
When the edited Voice is used as any of the RIGHT 1–2 parts, the R1/
R2 parameter is available; when the edited Voice is used as the LEFT
part, the LEFT parameter is available.
Determines whether the edited Voice is played monophonically or
MONO/POLY
polyphonically (page 85).
PORTAMENTO TIME Sets the portamento time when the edited Voice is set to "MONO" above.
CONTROLLER
1. MODULATION
When a pedal function is assigned to MODULATION, the pedal can be used to
modulate the parameters below as well as the pitch (vibrato). Here, you can set the
degree to which the pedal modulates each of the following parameters.
FILTER Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the Filter Cutoff
Frequency. For details about the filter, see page 98.
AMPLITUDE Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the amplitude
(volume).
Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the pitch, or the
LFO PMOD
vibrato effect.
LFO FMOD Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the Filter modu-
lation, or the wah effect.
LFO AMOD Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the amplitude, or
the tremolo effect.

Portamento Time:
The Portamento Time deter-
mines the pitch transition time.
Portamento is a function that cre-
ates a smooth transition in pitch
from the first note played on the
keyboard to the next.
