F8.5: Control Change ON/OFF

Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI control change data received from an exter-
nal MIDI device or keyboard, causing the voice on the corresponding channel to be affected
by pedal and other "control" settings received from the controlling device (the keyboard voice
is not affected). The Clavinova also transmits MIDI control change information when one of
its pedals or other appropriate controls are operated.
This function makes it possible to cancel control change data reception and transmission so
that, for example, the Clavinova pedals and other controls can be operated without affecting an
external MIDI device.
Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to turn control change transmission and reception
"On" or "OFF".
Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting "On".
• For information on control changes that can be used with the Clavinova, refer to the MIDI Data Format
on page 43.

F8.6: MIDI Transmit Transpose

This function allows the MIDI note data transmitted by the Clavinova to be transposed up
or down in semitone increments by up to plus or minus 12 semitones. The pitch of the
Clavinova itself is not affected.
Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to set the desired amount of MIDI transmit transposi-
tion. The range is from "–12" (down one octave) through "0" (no transposition) to "12" (up
one octave).
Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting "0".

F8.7: Panel/Status Transmit

This function causes all the current Clavinova panel 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 recorder such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3 which
will be used to control the Clavinova on playback. By transmitting the Clavinova panel set-
tings 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.
Press the [+/YES] button to transmit the panel/status data. "End" will appear on the LED
display when the data has been successfully transmitted.
• See page 44 for list of the "Panel Data Contents" transmitted by this function.
• Panel setting data that is transmitted to an external device can only be reloaded on a model of the
same type. Panel setting data can also be directly transferred to or from instruments of the same
model type.

F8.8: Bulk Data Dump

This function is used to transmit all data stored in the Recorder memory to a MIDI data
storage device such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3, other sequence recorders, or MIDI
compatible computers.
Press the [+/YES] button to begin bulk transmission. "End" will appear on the LED
display when the data has been successfully transmitted.
• User song recorder data that is transmitted to an external device can only be reloaded on a model of
the same type. Recorder data can also be directly transferred to or from instruments of the same
model type.
• The reload operation cannot be executed when the demo/preset song mode or user song recorder is
in operation, or when the Function mode is engaged.
• No MIDI note/panel data transmission or data reception occurs during a bulk data dump transmit operation.
