Adding Variations to the Sound – [BRILLIANCE]/
[REVERB]/[EFFECT]
[BRILLIANCE]
This control can be used to change the tonality or “timbre” of the sound output.
BRIGHT: Bright tone
NORMAL: Standard tone
MELLOW: Soft and mellow tone
To select a brilliance type, press the [BRILLIANCE] button a few times until the indica-
tor corresponding to the desired type lights (the indicator lights in sequence each time
you press the [BRILLIANCE] button). Brilliance can be selected among five types. When
two adjacent indicators are lit, the type that is between the two indicated types is
selected. For example, when both NORMAL and MELLOW are lit, the brilliance set-
ting between NORMAL and MELLOW is selected. This parameter affects the entire
sound of the instrument.
[REVERB]
This control enables you to select various digital reverb effects that would add extra
depth and expression to the sound to create a realistic acoustic ambience.
OFF: When no reverb effect is selected, no REVERB indicator is lit.
ROOM: This setting adds a continuous reverb effect to the sound, similar to the
acoustic reverberation you would hear in a room.
HALL 1: For a “bigger” reverb sound, use the HALL 1 setting. This effect simulates
the natural reverberation of a small-size concert hall.
HALL 2: For a truly spacious reverb sound, use the HALL 2 setting. This effect simu-
lates the natural reverberation of a large concert hall.
STAGE: Simulates the reverb of a stage environment.

TERMINOLOGY
Normal setting:
The “Normal setting” refers to
the default setting (factory
setting) obtained when you
first turn on the power to the
Clavinova.
NOTE
Normal setting = NORMAL
NOTE
When the BRILLIANCE is set to
BRIGHT, the overall sound will
be slightly louder. If the MAS-
TER VOLUME is set at a high
level the sound may become
distorted. If so, lower the MAS-
TER VOLUME level.
Procedure
NOTE
The default reverb type
(including OFF) and depth set-
tings are different for each
voice.
