Welcome To The World Of Cvp - And The New Touch Screen - Yamaha Clavinova CVP-609 Owner's Manual

Welcome to the World of CVP — and the
New Touch Screen!
This new CVP model is equipped with a convenient touch screen, enabling visual and intuitive control over virtually all
instrument functions. Simply by touching this large and easy-to-see display, you can select desired items, enable and
control various features, or edit parameter values — with greater ease and speed than ever before!
The instrument also has many advanced features that enhance your musical enjoyment and expand your creative and
performance possibilities. Let's take a look...
True Acoustic Piano Feel
We've combined some sophisticated technologies — including the
Real Grand Expression (RGE) Sound Engine and Natural Wood
(NW) keyboard (on the CVP-609), or the Graded Hammer 3 (GH3)
keyboard (on the CVP-605) — to reproduce the natural touch
response and expressive nuances of an actual concert grand piano.
In addition, there is a special "Piano Room" containing all relevant
piano performance settings, which you can call up with a single
button press any time you want. This complete piano 'environment'
lets you select the desired piano type as well as different room
ambiences — providing a total piano experience, as if you were
playing an actual piano.

Enormous Variety of Instrument Voices
Naturally, the CVP provides many realistic piano Voices for your
playing enjoyment. But it also features a wide variety of authentic
instruments, both acoustic and electronic. Moreover, the special
Super Articulation Voices realistically recreate many of the
performance techniques and characteristic sounds generated when
an artist plays an instrument. The result is superbly detailed
expression — such as the realistic sound of finger slides on guitar,
and the expressive breath noises of saxophone and other wind
instruments.

Full Backing Band Accompaniment
Even if you're playing alone, the CVP can put an entire backing band
behind you! Simply playing chords with your left hand automatically
triggers and controls the auto accompaniment backing (Style
function). You can change arrangements on the fly, instantly
selecting different rhythm variations and breaks in real time —
including Intro, Ending, and Fill-in — during your performance.
And if you find it hard to select just the right Style from the huge
variety available, use the Style Recommender function, which calls
up a list of suggested Styles, based on a sample rhythm you play.
