User Manual
The CLP Series was created expressly to achieve a playing sensation you would get when playing a grand
piano. Its RGE Sound Engine recorded all sounds from one carefully selected piano and refines them with
careful attention to playing response and expressive capability. Additionally, keyboard touch is precisely
calibrated and pedals are linked directly to changes of pressure and resonance. Integrating all these elements
that make up a piano result in a superb playing experience.
Yamaha does everything possible to create
the optimum sound at the playing position.
This requires precise attention to detail,
extending from the selection of the piano
to be sampled to the tuning of the
recorded sound and the position of the speakers.
Stored inside your Clavinova are 50 well-known pieces of standard
piano repertoire, including some often performed at recitals. You can
listen to them as background music or take advantage of this
collection of piano music to practice using lesson features.
Practice each hand independently
You can practice each hand separately while the Clavinova
accompanies you to build proficiency.
Play at a reduced tempo
You can easily vary the tempo while maintaining the same pitch. Practicing
difficult passages at a reduced tempo is a great way to build confidence.
Play a phrase repeatedly
You can play a difficult phrase over and over with the assistance of the
built-in recordings. This is a great help in mastering the entire piece.
