MIDI Functions
The MIDI Split & Left Local OFF Mode
In the MIDI split mode one section of the Clavinova keyboard is used to play a Clavinova voice in the normal
way, while the remaining section is used to play a second MIDI keyboard or tone generator such as the Yamaha
DOM-30 Disk Orchestra Module. In this mode the right-hand section of the keyboard is used to play an internal
Clavinova voice, while the left-hand section of the keyboard plays the external keyboard or tone generator.
Playing the left-hand section of the keyboard produces no sound from the Clavinova. The "split point," or the
key that divides the left- and right-hand sections of the keyboard can be set at any desired key.

The MIDI Split & Right Local Off Mode
In the CLP-124 either the right- or left-hand section of the keyboard can be assigned to control an external
keyboard or tone generator. Assigning the left-hand section to external tone generator control was described in
the previous section. To assign the right-hand section to external tone generator control while playing the
Clavinova voices with the left hand, press the [E.PIANO 2] voice selector instead of the [E.PIANO 1] voice
selector when activating the Split mode (see the preceding section). All other operations are exactly the same as
described in the previous section.

Transmitting the Panel Settings

This function causes all the current Clavinova control settings (selected voice, etc) to be transmitted via the
MIDI OUT terminal. This is particularly useful if you will be recording performances to a MIDI sequence re-
corder which will be used to control the Clavinova on playback. By transmitting the Clavinova panel settings
and recording them on the MIDI sequence recorder prior to the actual performance data, the Clavinova will be
automatically restored to the same settings when the performance is played back.
