Clock, Transmit Clock, Receive Transpose, Start/Stop
■ Clock
Determines whether the CVP-206/204 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-206/204 is being used alone. If you are
using the CVP-206/204 with an external sequencer, MIDI computer, or other MIDI device, and you want the CVP-
206/204 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-206/204 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-206/204 is not transposed, and when it is set to
"ON," the received note data is transposed according to the current CVP-206/204 keyboard transpose (page 136) setting.
■ Start/Stop
Determines whether incoming FA (start) and FC (stop) messages affect song or
style playback.

Data Types in the MIDI TRANSMIT/RECEIVE Display
Note 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 (CC) Control change data includes pedal and any other controller data.
Program Change (PC) Program change data corresponds to voice or "patch" numbers.
Pitch Bend (PB) See page 135.
After Touch (AT)* 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.
* Available in RECEIVE display only (page 142).
