Listening to the Demo Songs Demo songs are provided that effectively demonstrate each of the CLP-220’s voices. Procedure (In case the power is not turned ON) Press the [POWER] button. When you start playing, adjust the [MASTER VOLUME] control to the most comfortable listening level. 2. Start playing back a demo song. Press the [DEMO/SONG] button. The demo song for the currently-selected voice starts playing.
Listening to 50 Piano Preset Songs The Clavinova provides performance data for 50 piano songs as well as voice demo songs. You can simply listen to these songs. You can also refer to the included “50 Greats for the Piano” that contains scores for 50 piano preset songs. Procedure ENGLISH 1. Select and play back a piano preset song. The number of each piano preset song is assigned to the C2-C 6 keys. While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] button, press one of the C2-C 6 keys to select a song to play back.
15 Listening to Songs Loaded from the Computer You can transfer song data from your computer to the Clavinova and play back the songs. (See page 31 for more information on loading song data from the computer.) 1. Select and play back a song. Song numbers (1 through 10) are assigned to the D 6-C7 keys (see the illustration below). While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] button, press one of the D 6-C7 keys to select a song to play back. The selected song starts to play.
Selecting & Playing Voices Selecting Voices Procedure ENGLISH Press and release the [PIANO/VOICE] button to select the Grand Piano 1 voice. While holding down the [PIANO/VOICE] button, press one of the C1-A1 keys to select a voice. Alternatively, you can press the [PIANO/VOICE] button, then press the [SELECT] button repeatedly to select a different voice. Turn the [MASTER VOLUME] control to adjust the volume level while playing the keyboard.
Using the Pedals 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. If the damper pedal doesn’t work, make sure that the pedal cord is properly plugged into the main unit (page 35).
Adding Variations to the Sound – Reverb This control enables you to select various digital reverb effects that add extra depth and expression to the sound to create a realistic acoustic ambience. Procedure While holding down the [PIANO/VOICE] button, press one of the C2–E2 keys to select a reverb type.
19 Layering Two Voices (Dual mode) You can layer two voices and play them simultaneously to create a thicker and more supple sound. Procedure While holding down the [PIANO/VOICE] button, press two keys in the range of C1 through A1 simultaneously to select the two desired voices. Alternatively, while holding down the [PIANO/VOICE] button, press and hold down one key, then press another. Refer to “Selecting & Playing Voices” on page 18 for information on the voices that are assigned to the keys.
Transposition The Clavinova’s Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of six semitones, and lets 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. In this way, you can play a song as though it were in C major, and the Clavinova will transpose it to the key of F.
Using the Metronome The Clavinova features a built-in metronome (a device that keeps an accurate tempo) that is convenient for practicing. Procedure 1. Start the metronome. Press the [METRONOME] button to turn on the metronome. Determines the Time Signature ENGLISH While holding down the [METRONOME] button, press one of the C3–F3 keys.
Adjusting the Volume You can change the volume of the metronome sound. While holding down the [METRONOME] button, press one of the C1–G2 keys to determine the volume. METRONOME The lowest key C1 G2 ENGLISH The volume level increases as you press higher keys. 2. Stop the metronome. Turn off the metronome by pressing the [METRONOME] button. Adjusting the Keyboard Touch (Touch Sensitivity) You can adjust the volume level that changes depending on how fast or strong you hit the keys.
23 Recording your Performance Your Clavinova’s recording function enables you to record your performance of one song. The recorded performance is called the “user song.” Follow the steps below to record and play back your performance. Audio recording and data recording ENGLISH Cassette tape recordings use a different data format than the Clavinova. Cassette tapes record audio signals.
Playing Back Recorded Performance Data Procedure 1. Start the playback. ENGLISH Press the [PLAY] button. You cannot adjust the tempo of the recorded user song. The user song always plays at the recorded tempo. 2. Stop the playback. When the user song finishes playing back, the Clavinova automatically returns to the previous mode. To stop the playback, press the [PLAY] button.
Connecting MIDI Instruments The Clavinova features MIDI connectors. Using the MIDI functions enables you to access a variety of musical genres. About MIDI MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a global format standard for performance data transmission and reception between electronic musical instruments. Connecting musical instruments that support MIDI via MIDI cables enables you to transfer performance and setting data between multiple musical instruments.
Connecting the Clavinova to a Computer Connecting the Clavinova to a computer using the MIDI connectors enables you to transfer MIDI data between the piano and the computer. When the Clavinova is used as a tone module, performance data with voices that are not found on the Clavinova will not be played correctly. Before you connect the Clavinova to a computer, first turn off the power to both the Clavinova and the computer.
27 MIDI Functions You can make detailed adjustments to MIDI settings. In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched for proper data transfer. This parameter enables you to specify the channel on which the Clavinova transmits or receives MIDI data. Procedure Setting the transmit channel While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] buttons simultaneously, press one of the C1-E2 keys.
Program Change ON/OFF ENGLISH Normally the CLP-220 will respond to MIDI program change numbers received from an external keyboard or other MIDI device, causing the correspondingly-numbered voice to be selected on the corresponding channel (the keyboard voice does not change).
Transmitting Song Data between the Computer and the Clavinova In addition to the demo songs and the 50 piano preset songs stored in the Clavinova, you can play data for other song by loading it from a connected computer. To be able to use this function, you must first download Musicsoft Downloader from Yamaha website at the following URL, and install it on your computer. http://music.yamaha.com/download/ You can download free Musicsoft Downloader from the Yamaha website.
Backing up Data and Initializing the Settings Backing up data to flash memory The following items will be stored in flash memory on the CLP-220. This data will be kept after you turn off the power to the CLP-220.
Troubleshooting Possible Cause and Solution The Clavinova does not turn on. The Clavinova has not been plugged in properly. Securely insert the female plug into the socket on the Clavinova, and the male plug into a proper AC outlet (page 11). A click or pop is heard when the power is turned on or off. This is normal when electrical current is being applied to the instrument. Noise from the speakers or headphones is audible.
Keyboard Stand Assembly ENGLISH CAUTION • Be careful not to confuse parts, and be sure to install all parts in the correct direction. Please assemble in accordance with the sequence given below. • Assembly should be carried out by at least two persons. • Be sure to use the included screws only, and insert screws of the correct size in the correct hole locations. Do not use any other screws. Use of incorrect screws can cause damage or malfunction of the product.
