  • Page 2: Taking Care Of Your Clavinova

    Thank you for choosing a Yamaha CLP-124 Clavinova. Your Clavinova is a fine musical instru- ment that employs advanced Yamaha music technology. With the proper care, your Clavinova will give you many years of musical pleasure. Stereo sampling of the acoustic piano voices offers unmatched realism and expressive power, while the AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generator system offers rich, realistic reproductions of all other voices.

    The Dual Mode The DUAL mode makes it possible to play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the key- board. To activate the DUAL mode simply press two voice selectors at the same time (or press one voice selector while holding another).
  • Page 10: Reverb

    Reverb The [REVERB] button selects a number of digital reverb effects that you can use for extra depth and expressive power. To select a reverb type press the [REVERB] button a few times until the indicator corresponding to the desired type lights (the indicators light in sequence each time the [REVERB] button is pressed).
  • Page 11: Effects

    Effect The Pedals The CLP-124 has three foot pedals that produce a range of expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano. Pressing the soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played.
  • Page 12: Touch Sensitivity

    Touch Sensitivity The [TOUCH SENSITIVITY] button selects three different types of keyboard touch sensi- tivity — HARD, MEDIUM or SOFT — to match different playing styles and preferences. To select a touch sensitivity setting press the [TOUCH SENSITIVITY] button a few times until the indicator corresponding to the desired setting lights (the indicators light in se- quence each time the [TOUCH SENSITIVITY] button is pressed).
  • Page 13: Pitch Control

    Pitch Control Pitch control makes it possible to tune the Clavinova over a 50-cent range in approximately 1.2-cent intervals. A hundred “cents” equals one semitone, so the tuning 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 14: Individual Key Tuning

    The individual key tuning feature also makes it possible to tune the CLP-124 to completely different standards, if required. The pitch of each key can be raised or lowered by a maximum of 50 cents from the standard pitch.
