After making sure that the Clavinova’s AC cord is properly plugged into the Clavinova itself and plugged into a convenient AC wall outlet, press the [POWER] switch located to the left of the keyboard to turn the power ON. In some areas a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin configuration of the AC wall outlets in your area.
Playing the Demonstration Tunes Demonstration tunes are provided that effectively demonstrate each of the Clavinova’s voices. There are also 30 piano songs that you can play individually, all in sequence, or in random order. Here’s how you can select and play the demo tunes. Engage the Demo Mode ......................................................................... DEMO/ PIANO SONG Press the [DEMO/PIANO SONG] button to engage the demo mode — the voice selector indicators will flash in sequence.
Playing the Demonstration Tunes Piano Song A-B Repeat The A-B Repeat function can be used to continuously repeat a specified phrase within a piano song. Combined with the Part Cancel function described below, this provides an excellent way to practice difficult phrases. Specify the Beginning (A) of the Phrase .............................. FUNCTION Select and play a piano song, then press the [FUNCTION] button at the beginning of the phrase you want to repeat.
Playing the Demonstration Tunes Piano Song Part Cancel (CLP-511) The 30 piano songs provided on the CLP-511 have separate left- and right-hand parts that can be turned on and off as required so you can practice the corresponding part on the keyboard. The right-hand part is played by the recorder’s [1] track, and the left-hand part is played by recorder’s [2] track. Turn the Desired Part Off ......................................................................
The Dual Mode The dual mode makes it possible to play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard. IANO 1 E.PIANO 2 HARPSICHORD To activate the dual mode simply press two voice selectors at the same time (or press one voice selector while holding another). The voice indicators of both selected voices will light when the dual mode is active. To return to the normal single-voice play mode, press any single voice selector.
The Split Mode (CLP-511) The split mode makes it possible to play two different voices on the keyboard — one with the left hand and another with the right hand. The left-hand voice is played on all keys to the left of (and including) a specified “split point” key, while the right-hand voice is played on all keys to the right of the split point key. To activate the split mode simply press the [SPLIT] button so thats indicator lights.
Reverb The [REVERB] button selects a number of digital reverb effects that you can use for extra depth and expressive power.

Beat indicator Metronome Volume ......................................................................................
Using the Recorder The CLP-411 has a 1-track recorder and the CLP-511 features a two-track recorder that let you record what you play on the keyboard and then play it back. Two tracks on the CLP-511 mean that you can “overdub” one part on top of another, using a different voice if you like. The recorder feature is a useful adjunct to any keyboard study program, since it lets you hear exactly how you sound from the listener’s perspective. It can also be just plain fun.
Using the Recorder Start Recording ................................................................................................ Recording will begin automatically as soon as you play a note on the keyboard or press the [START/STOP] button. The current measure number will appear on the display while recording. NOTE RECORDER CLP-411 START/ STOP REC Stop Recording ................................................................................................

On the CLP-511 first make sure that the green track indicators of the tracks you want to play are lit. If not, press the corresponding track button(s) so that they are lit. Then press the RECORDER [START/STOP] button.
The Function Mode The [FUNCTION] button provides access to a range of functions that give the CLP-411/511 extraordinary versatility. The functions are categorized in groups as follows: CLP-411 CLP-511 F1 F2 F3 – F4 F5 – F6 – F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 F9 Tuning ............................................................. Scale ............................................................... Dual Mode Functions .................................... Split Mode Functions ....................................
The Function Mode F1 Tuning In addition to the tuning method described on page 15, overall tuning can also be accomplished via the F1 function. After selecting “F1”, use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to lower or raise the pitch in 0.2 Hz increments (the first time the [–/NO] or [+/YES] button is pressed simply switches to the tuning value display without actually changing the tuning). The overall tuning range is from 427.0 Hz to 453.0 Hz (corresponding to the A3 note’s Hz).
The Function Mode F3 Dual Mode Functions After selecting “F3.Y”, press the [+/YES] button to engage the dual-mode function submode, then use the [<] and [>] buttons to select the desired dual mode function, as listed below. If the Dual mode is not engaged “F3.-” will appear instead of “F3.Y” and the Dual mode functions cannot be selected. If this happens engage the Dual mode and proceed.
The Function Mode F3.5: 1st Voice Effect Depth ............................................................................................................ F3.6: 2nd Voice Effect Depth .......................................................................................................... These functions make it possible to individually set the depth of the chorus effect for the 1st and 2nd dual-mode voices (“1st” and “2nd” refer to the left and right voice selectors, respectively).
The Function Mode F4.2: Split Balance ..................................................................................................................................... The volume levels of the two voices combined in the split mode can be adjusted as required by using this function. Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to adjust the balance as required. The balance range is from 0 through 20. A setting of “10” produces equal balance between the two split-mode voices.
The Function Mode F4 CLP-411 Metronome Functions F5 CLP-511 Metronome Functions After selecting “F4.Y” or “F5.Y”, press the [+/YES] button to engage the metronome function sub-mode, then use the [<] and [>] buttons to select the desired metronome function, as listed below. ■ SHORTCUT: You can jump directly to the metronome functions by pressing the [FUNCTION] button while holding the [METRONOME] button. F4.1/F5.1: Beat .......................................................................................
The Function Mode F6 CLP-411 MIDI Functions F8 CLP-511 MIDI Functions ● A Brief Introduction to MIDI MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a worldstandard communication interface that allows MIDI-compatible MIDI OUT MIDI IN musical instruments and equipment to share musical information and control one another. This makes it possible to create “systems” of DOU-10 MIDI instruments and equipment that offer far greater versatility and control than is available with isolated instruments.
The Function Mode In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched for proper data transfer. A “Multi-timbre” receive mode is also available, which allows simultaneous reception of different parts on all 16 MIDI channels, allowing the Clavinova to play multi-channel song data received from a music computer or sequencer. There’s also a “1-2” mode which allows simultaneous reception on channels 1 and 2.
The Function Mode F6.5/F8.5: Control Change ON/OFF ........................................................................................ Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI control change data received from an external MIDI device or keyboard, causing the voice on the corresponding channel to be affected by pedal and other “control” settings received from the controlling device (the keyboard voice is not affected, but reverb depth data will affect the Clavinova settings).
The Function Mode F9 (CLP-511) Backup Functions After selecting “F9.Y”, press the [+/YES] button to engage the backup function sub-mode, then use the [<] and [>] buttons to select the desired backup function, as listed below. • The backup settings themselves, and the contents of the recorder memory, are always backed up. NOTE Even if backup is turned on via one of the functions described below, the data will only be retained in memory for about 1 week if the power is not turned on during this time.
Connecting to a Personal Computer Although the CLP-411/511 can be connected to a personal computer via the MIDI IN/OUT connectors and a MIDI interface, the TO HOST connector and HOST SELECT switch allow direct connection to Apple Macintosh or IBM-PC/AT personal computers for sequencing and other music applications without the need for a separate MIDI interface. Connecting to an Apple Macintosh Series Computer ..................................................................................................
Connecting to a Personal Computer Connecting to an IBM-PC/AT Series Computer ............ HOST SELECT PC-2 MIDI TO HOST PC-1 Mac Set to the “PC-2” position. IBM-PC/AT Series Computer Connect the TO HOST connector of the Clavinova to the RS-232C port on your IBM computer, using a standard 8-pin MINI DIN → 9-pin D-SUB cross cable. Set the HOST SELECT switch to the “PC-2” position. Refer to your software owner’s manual for information on any settings you might have to make on the computer side.
Troubleshooting If you encounter what appears to be a malfunction, please check the following points before assuming that your Clavinova is faulty. 1. No Sound When the Power is Turned ON Is the AC plug properly connected to the Clavinova and an AC wall outlet? Check the AC connection carefully. Is the MASTER VOLUME control turned up to a reasonable listening level? Also make sure that a pair of headphones is not plugged into the PHONES jack, and that the Local Control (page 27) is ON. 2.
Factory Preset Recall (CLP-511) All dual mode, split mode, reverb, effect, touch sensitivity, tuning settings, and the settings affected by the Backup Functions can be restored to their original factory preset values by holding the C7 key while turning the [POWER] switch ON. This also erases all recorder data, and sets all Backup on/off settings (F9) to “OFF”. POWER Options & Expander Modules ● Options BC-8 Bench A comfortable bench styled to match your Yamaha Clavinova.
