MIDI Functions

MIDI Clock Select

This function determines whether the Clavinova's rhythm and ABC timing is controlled by the Clavinova's own in-
ternal clock or an external MIDI clock signal received from external equipment connected to the MIDI IN connector.
The Clock Mode is automatically set to INTERNAL when the power is initially turned on.
ORGAN
= EXTERNAL.
ORGAN
= INTERNAL.

Panel Data Send

This function causes all the current Clavinova panel settings (selected voice, etc) to be transmitted via the MIDI
OUT connector. This is particularly useful if you will be recording performances to a MIDI sequence recorder 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.

MIDI Transpose Transmit

This function transposes the pitch of transmitted MIDI note data up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum
of six semitones. The pitch of notes played on the keyboard is not affected.

The Clavinova Common Voice Mode

This mode is similar to the Multi-Timbre Mode described on page 49, but MIDI program change numbers received
on all channels are converted to Yamaha Clavinova Common Voice Numbers. MIDI program change numbers transmit-
ted when the panel voice selectors are operated are also converted to the common voice numbers.
The Clavinova Common Voice mode is always off when the power is initially turned on. It can be activated as fol-
lows:
