Making Global and Other Important Settings — Function
Clock, Transmit Clock, Receive Transpose, Start/Stop
■ Clock
Determines whether the CVP-900 is controlled by its own internal clock or a MIDI clock signal received from an
external device. "INTERNAL" is the normal Clock setting when the CVP-900 is being used alone. If you are using the
CVP-900 with an external sequencer, MIDI computer, or other MIDI device, and you want the CVP-900 to be
synchronized to the external device, set this function to "EXTERNAL." In the latter case, the external device must be
connected to the CVP-900 MIDI IN terminal, and must be transmitting an appropriate MIDI clock signal.

■ Transmit Clock

Turns MIDI clock transmission on or off. When this is set to "OFF," no MIDI clock or START/STOP data is
transmitted.

■ Receive Transpose

When this parameter is set to "OFF," note data received by the CVP-900 is not transposed, and when it is set to "ON," the
received note data is transposed according to the current CVP-900 keyboard transpose (page 141) setting.
■ Start/Stop
Determines whether incoming FA (start) and FC (stop) messages affect song or
style playback.

Messages which are generated when the keyboard is played. Each message includes a specific note number
which corresponds to the key which is pressed, plus a velocity value based on how hard the key is played.
Control change data includes pedal and any other controller data.
Program change data corresponds to voice or "patch" numbers.
See page 140.
With this function, the Clavinova senses how much pressure you apply to the keys while playing, and uses that
pressure to affect the sound in various ways, depending on the selected voice. This allows you to play with greater
expressiveness and add effects with your playing technique.
