Disk Orchestra Collection & Song Playback
The GUIDE display appears automatically when the [GUIDE] button
is pressed to turn the guide function on. If the guide function is already
on, the PAGE buttons can be used to select the SONG PLAY [GUIDE]
display (SONG PLAY page 3). Use the GUIDE MODE NEXT NOTE or
SOUND LCD button to select the desired guide mode. The settings of
the RIGHT and LEFT LCD buttons (or PART 1 and PART 2) in the
SONG PLAY [MAIN] display (SONG PLAY page 1) will then deter-
mine whether the guide function operates for the left-hand part (part 2)
only, the right-hand part (part 1) only, or both parts, as shown below.
Left- and right-hand guide
Right-hand guide only
Left-hand guide only
When you press the [START/STOP] button or the START LCD but-
ton in the SONG PLAY [MAIN] display (SONG PLAY page 1) to begin
playback, the introduction will play automatically but then the Clavinova
will stop and wait for you to play the correct note(s). The CVP-79A/69/
69A/59S indicates the key(s) to be played via the guide lamps above the
keyboard. As you play the appropriate notes, the piece will continue,
pausing until you play the right notes each time.
If the guide lamps flashing above the keyboard distract you, or you
want to try playing along without them, simply press the LAMP LCD
button in the SONG PLAY [GUIDE] display to turn the lamps "OFF".
Repeat to turn the guide lamps back on.
As with regular playback, the song will stop automatically when the
end is reached, or it can be stopped at any time by pressing the STOP
LCD button in the SONG PLAY [MAIN] display (SONG PLAY page 1)
or the panel [START/STOP] button.
Press the [GUIDE] button so that its indicator goes out when you
want to turn the guide function off.

PLAY RECORD GUIDE
• When the guide function is turned off
(i.e. the [GUIDE] button indicator is off)
and the SOUND mode is selected, the
guide lamps light in real time corre-
sponding to the notes played by the
left- and right-hand parts, when both
the left- and right-hand parts are either
on or off.
If one or the other of the parts is off,
the guide lamps correspond only to the
part that is turned off.
When the guide function is turned off
and the NEXT NOTE mode is se-
lected, both the current (flashing) and
next notes (continuously-lit) are shown
by the guide lamps if either or both
parts are turned off. (If both parts are
turned on, only the current notes are
shown by the guide lamps.)
• The guide part can be selected, the
guide LAMP can be turned on and off,
and the guide function itself can be
turned on and off during playback.
• Playback tempo can be set to any
desired value after a song has been
selected by using the TEMPO [+] and
[–] buttons.
• The positions of the guide lamps do
not change if the transpose function is
used to transpose the pitch of the
keyboard.
• The [ o PAUSE], [ r REW] and [ f FF]
buttons will not operate during play-
back when the guide function is in use.
• The guide function may not work prop-
erly with software which was not pro-
duced for independent left- and right-
hand playback.
• Since the guide "phrases" used in the
SOUND mode are automatically deter-
mined by the Clavinova, they may not
precisely match the actual musical
phrases. Also, the phrases may be-
come shorter when the guide function
is used for both the left- and right-hand
parts.
