  • Page 19: Transposition

    Transposition The Clavinova’s TRANSPOSE function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of six semitones. “Transposing” the pitch of the Clavinova keyboard makes it easier to play in difficult key signa- tures, and you can simply match the pitch of the key- board to the range of a singer or other instrumentalist.

  • Page 20: Pitch Control

    Pitch Control Pitch control makes it possible to tune the Clavinova over a 50-cent range (approximate) in approximately 1.2-cent or 1-hertz intervals. A hundred “cents” equals one semitone, so the tun- ing range provided allows fine tuning of overall pitch over a range of approximately a semitone. Pitch control is useful for tuning the Clavinova to match other instruments or recorded music.

  • Page 34: Midi Functions

    MIDI Functions MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a world-standard communication interface that allows MIDI-compatible musical instruments and equipment to share musical information and control one another. This makes it possible to create “systems” of MIDI instruments and equipment that offer far greater versatility and control than is available with isolated instruments.

  • Page 36: The Multi-Timbre Mode

    MIDI Functions The Multi-Timbre Mode The Multi-Timbre mode is a special mode in which the Clavinova voices can be independently controlled on differ- ent MIDI channel numbers (1 through 15) by an external MIDI device. The Multi-Timbre mode is off when the power is initially turned on.

  • Page 37: Midi Clock Select

    This mode is similar to the Multi-Timbre Mode described on page 32, but MIDI program change numbers received on all channels are converted to Yamaha Clavinova Common Voice Numbers. MIDI program change numbers transmit- ted when the panel voice selectors are operated are also converted to the common voice numbers.
