Other MIDI Functions
The MIDI functions listed to the right are engaged by
holding down the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button and press-
ing the corresponding voice selector. Full details are given
in the following pages.
Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI program change numbers received from an external keyboard
or other MIDI device, causing the correspondingly numbered Clavinova voice to be selected. The Clavinova
will normally also send a MIDI program change number whenever one of its voices is selected, causing the
correspondingly numbered voice or program to be selected on the external MIDI device if the device is set up to
receive and respond to MIDI program change numbers.
This function makes it possible to cancel program change number reception and transmission so that voices
can be selected on the Clavinova without affecting the external MIDI device, and vice versa.
ZHold down the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
XPress the [PIANO 2] voice selector. If the PIANO 2 LED is lit when
the [PIANO 2] voice selector is pressed, you have turned program
change reception/transmission OFF. If the PIANO 2 LED is not lit
when the [PIANO 2] voice selector is pressed, you have turned pro-
gram change reception/transmission ON.
CRelease the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.

“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the Clavinova keyboard
controls its internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played
directly from the keyboard. This situation is “Local Control ON” since the
internal tone generator is controlled locally by its own keyboard.
Local control can be turned OFF, however, so that the Clavinova key-
board does not play the internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI informa-
tion is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector when notes are played
on the keyboard. At the same time, the internal tone generator responds to
MIDI information received via the MIDI IN connector. This means that
while an external MIDI sequence recorder, for example, plays the Clavino-
va’s internal voices, an external tone generator can be played from the
Clavinova keyboard.
ZHold down the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
XPress the [PIANO 1] voice selector. If the PIANO 1 LED is lit when
the [PIANO 1] voice selector is pressed, you have turned local control
OFF. If the PIANO 1 LED is not lit when the [PIANO 1] voice selector
is pressed, you have turned local control ON.
CRelease the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
