Selecting & Playing Voices Using the Pedals ENGLISH The Clavinova has three foot pedals that produce a range of expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano. Damper (Right) Pedal The damper pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the damper pedal is pressed, notes sustain longer. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes.

Selecting & Playing Voices Procedure Pressing the [REVERB] button repeatedly toggles the reverb on and off. The indicators light in sequence each time the [REVERB] button is pressed. No effect is produced when all indicators are off. Adjusting Reverb Depth Adjust the reverb depth for the selected voice by using the [–/NO] [+/YES] buttons while holding the [REVERB] button. The depth range is from 0 through 20. The current depth setting appears on the LED display while the [REVERB] button is held.
Selecting & Playing Voices Touch Sensitivity – [TOUCH] You can select four different types of keyboard touch sensitivity — HARD, MEDIUM, SOFT or FIXED — to match different playing styles and preferences. NOTE HARD: Requires that the keys be played quite hard to produce maximum loudness. MEDIUM: Produces a fairly “standard” keyboard response. SOFT: Allows maximum loudness to be produced with relatively light key pressure.
Selecting & Playing Voices Transposition – [TRANSPOSE] The Clavinova’s Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals to facilitate playing in difficult key signatures, and to let you easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if you set the transposition amount to “5,” playing key C produces pitch F.
Selecting & Playing Voices Combining Two Voices (Dual mode) You can play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard. In this way, you can simulate a melody duet or combine two similar voices to create a thicker sound. 1 REC MIN TEMPO/OTHER VALUE ON/OFF LEFT RIGHT STOP PLAY/PAUSE ON MAX USB USER PRESET SAVE/EXP.

Recording Your Performance Recording Your Performance NOTE The ability to record and play back what you’ve played on the CLP240/230 keyboard can be an effective practice aid. You can, for example, record just the left-hand part, and then practice the right-hand part while playing back the recorded left-hand part. Or, since you can record up to two parts separately, you could record the left- and righthand parts separately, or record both parts of a duet and hear how they sound when played back.
Recording Your Performance 2. Engage Record Ready mode. Press the [REC] button to engage Record Ready mode. This automatically selects an empty song for recording and makes the RIGHT part active. If an empty song does not exist, Song U01 will be selected. Recording does not actually start yet. The amount of memory available for recording will be shown on the LED display in approximate kilobytes. The SONG [PLAY/PAUSE] indicator will flash at the current METRONOME tempo setting.
Recording Your Performance Re-recording a previously recorded song This section explains how to record again in case your performance was not satisfactory. Procedure 1. Select a voice or voices (and other settings) for recording, if necessary. 2. Re-engage Record Ready mode. Press the [REC] button, again. The selected part’s indicator lights in red. Follow the procedure from Step 3 in “Recording a performance quickly” on page 30 to re-record.
Recording Your Performance Recording to RIGHT/LEFT This lets you record the right and left parts separately. Since you can record the left part while playing back the right, this is useful for recording both parts of a duet. Procedure 1. Make all the initial settings. ENGLISH Same as step 1 in “Recording a performance quickly” on page 29. 2. Select a song to record. Press the [SONG SELECT] button to light “USER” indicator on, then press the [–/NO][+/YES] buttons to select a song for recording.
Recording Your Performance The user song recorder records the following data: Data in addition to the notes and voices you play is recorded. This data includes “Individual Parts” and “Entire Song.” See below.
Recording Your Performance Changing the Initial Settings (Data recorded at the beginning of a song) The initial settings (data recorded at the beginning of a song) can be changed after the recording. For example, after recording, you can change the voice to create a different ambience or adjust the song tempo to your taste. ENGLISH You can change the following initial settings.
Handling Songs with a USB Storage Device (CLP-240) Handling Songs with a USB Storage Device (CLP-240) You can handle User songs (save, export and delete) with a USB storage device.

In this case, when you turn on the power to the unit, the default settings (the initial settings) will be used.
Connections Connections Connectors CAUTION Before connecting the Clavinova to other electronic components, turn off the power to all the components. Before turning the power on or off to all components, set all volume levels to minimum (0). Otherwise, electrical shock or damage to the components may result.
Connections 2 AUX IN [R] [L/L+R] jacks The stereo outputs from another instrument can be connected to these jacks, allowing the sound of an external instrument to be reproduced via the Clavinova’s speakers. Refer to the diagram below and use audio cables to make the connections. CAUTION When the Clavinova’s AUX IN jacks are connected to an external device, first turn on the power to the external device, then to the Clavinova. Reverse this order when you turn the power off.
Connections Connection to a USB storage device (CLP-240) By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device with a standard USB cable, you can save data you’ve created to the connected device, as well as read data from the connected device.
