NOTICE
To avoid the possibility of malfunction/damage to the product, damage to data, or damage to other property, follow the notices below.

Handling
Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise. When you use the instrument along with an application on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, we recommend that you set "Airplane Mode" to "ON" on that device in order to avoid noise caused by communication. 
Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration, damage to the internal components or unstable operation. (Verified operating temperature range: 5° – 40°C, or 41° – 104°F.)
Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
In the case of a model with a polished finish, bumping the surface of the instrument with metal, porcelain, or other hard objects can cause the finish to crack or peel. Use caution

Maintenance
When cleaning the instrument, use a soft and dry/slightly damp cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, alcohol, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
In the case of a model with a polished finish, gently remove dust and dirt with a soft cloth. Do not wipe too hard since small particles of dirt can scratch the instrument's finish.
During extreme changes in temperature or humidity, condensation may occur and water may collect on the surface of the instrument. If water is left, the wooden parts may absorb the water and be damaged. Make sure to wipe any water off immediately with a soft cloth.

Saving data
Recorded Song and edited Song/Style/Voice/MIDI setup data, etc. are lost when you turn off the power to the instrument. This also occurs when the power is turned off by the Auto Power Off function (page 19). Save the data to the instrument, or to USB flash drive (page 33).
You can back up the data and settings of this instrument to the USB flash drive as a backup file (page 43), as well as restore a backup file to the instrument. To protect against data loss due to some failure, an operation mistake, etc., save your important data to a USB flash drive (page 43).
For information about the handling of USB flash drives, refer to page 97.
To protect against data loss through USB flash drive damage, we recommend that you save your important data onto spare USB flash drive or an external device such as a computer as backup data.

Welcome to the World of CVP!
This new CVP model is equipped with a convenient touch screen, enabling visual and intuitive control over virtually all instrument functions. Simply by touching this large and easy-to-see display, you can select desired items, enable and control various features, or edit parameter values—with greater ease and speed than ever before! 

The instrument also has many advanced features that enhance your musical enjoyment and expand your creative and performance possibilities. Let’s take a look…


True Acoustic Piano Feel
(Figure)
This instrument features gorgeous piano Voices, created with samples of the Yamaha CFX flagship concert grand piano and the famous Bösendorfer* concert grand piano, as well as a special keyboard to fully reproduce the natural touch response and expressive nuances of an actual concert grand piano, including rapid repetitive capability. Moreover, the instrument features a VRM function which accurately recreates the acoustic resonance of a grand piano, which changes subtly by the timing and strength of the player's touch and pedal operation. This enables expression of even the most delicate performance nuances and responds minutely to your pedal use and key playing. 
The new Piano Room features provide even greater piano performance enjoyment. Piano Room lets you select the desired piano type as well as different room ambiences—enabling a complete, realistic piano experience, as if you were playing an actual piano. What's more, you can play along with other virtual "session" players, and enjoy a convincing band-like performance experience with other musical instruments.
* Bösendorfer is a subsidiary company of Yamaha.
 Page 44


Play in Various Music Genres
Naturally, the CVP provides many realistic piano Voices for your playing enjoyment. But it also features a wide variety of authentic instruments, both acoustic and electronic, including organ, guitar, sax, and others used in many music genres—letting you convincingly perform in any desired music style. Moreover, the special Super Articulation Voices realistically recreate many of the performance techniques and characteristic sounds generated when an artist plays an instrument. The result is superbly detailed expression—such as the realistic sound of finger slides on guitar, and the expressive breath noises of saxophone and other wind instruments. 
Page 53

Full Backing Band Accompaniment 
(Figure)
Even if you’re playing alone, the CVP can put an entire backing band behind you! Simply playing chords automatically triggers and controls the auto accompaniment backing (Style function). Select an accompaniment Style—such as pop, jazz, Latin, and various other music genres in the world—and let the Clavinova be your complete backing band! You can change arrangements on the fly, instantly selecting different rhythm variations and breaks in real time, including Intro, Ending, and Fill-in, during your performance. 
Moreover, special Audio Styles (CVP-709 only) have been provided, which feature audio recordings of studio musicians playing in various recording studios worldwide. This adds all the natural feel, ambience and warmth to the drums and percussion of the Style, giving your performance greater expressive potential.
Page 55


Enjoyable Song Lesson Features—with Score Display and Guide Lamps
(Figure)
The Lesson features are a fun way to learn and master Songs, with notation shown on the display. Moreover, each key of the keyboard has a Guide lamp, which lights to indicate the notes to be played, letting you practice melodies and phrases smoothly—even if you are a beginner or have trouble reading notation. 
Page 70


Sing Along with Song Playback or Your Own Performance
(Figure)
Since a microphone can be connected to the Clavinova and Song lyrics can be shown on the display, you can enjoy singing along with your keyboard performance or along with Song playback. Moreover, a powerful Vocal Harmony effect automatically applies lush, authentic sounding vocal harmonies to your singing voice. You can also cancel the vocal part on audio recordings, letting you sing along with (or instead of!) your favorite artists and groups, and enjoy performing even more. 
Pages 70, 82

Starting Up

Opening/Closing the Key Cover
To open the key cover, hold the hand grip with both hands, then lift the key cover slightly, and push it up and back.
To close the key cover, lower the key cover back in place gently with both hands.
(Figure)
CAUTION
Be careful to avoid catching your fingers when opening/closing the cover.

CAUTION
Hold the cover with both hands when opening or closing it. Do not release it until it is fully opened or closed. Be careful to avoid catching fingers (yours or others, especially children’s) between the cover and the unit.
Do not place anything (such as metal objects or pieces of paper) on top of the key cover. Small objects placed on the key cover may fall inside the unit when the cover is opened and may be nearly impossible to remove. Once inside, they could cause electric shock, short circuit, fire or other serious damage to the instrument.


Using the Music Rest
Pull the music rest toward yourself as far as it will go. When raised, the music rest locks in place at a certain angle and cannot be adjusted. The braces allow you to hold the pages of music books in place.
(Figure)
Sheet music braces

CAUTION
When raising or lowering the music rest, do not release your hands from the music rest until it is all the way up or down.

To lower the music rest, close the sheet music braces, then lift the music rest slightly, and turn it back slowly.
(Figure)
Close the sheet music braces
CAUTION
Be careful to avoid catching your fingers.

CAUTION
Before lowering the music rest, close the sheet music braces. Otherwise you may catch your fingers between the music rest and the music braces and injure them.


Opening/Closing the Lid (CVP-709 Grand Piano type)
One long stay and one short stay are provided on the lid. Use one of them to hold the lid open at the desired angle.

Opening the Lid
(Figure)
1	Raise the music rest.
2	Raise and hold the right side of the lid (viewed from the keyboard end of the instrument).
3	Raise the lid stay and carefully lower the lid so that the end of the stay fits into the recess in the lid.

CAUTION
Do not let children open or close the lid. Also, be careful to avoid catching fingers (yours or others, and especially those of children) when raising or lowering the lid.

For the longer stay, use the inner recess, and for the shorter stay, use the outer recess to support the lid.

CAUTION
Do not use the outer recess for the longer stay. Doing so makes the lid unstable and may cause it to fall, resulting in damage or injury. 
Make sure that the end of the stay fits securely in the lid recess. If the stay is not properly seated in the recess, the lid may fall, causing damage or injury. 
Be careful that you or others do not bump the stay while the lid is raised. The stay may be bumped out of the lid recess causing the lid to fall.

The shape of the plug and outlet differ depending on your locale.

WARNING
Use only the supplied power cord.

CAUTION
When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet.

(Figure)
The power indicator lights up.

3	Press and hold the [Standby/On] switch for about a second to turn the power off.

CAUTION
Even when the [Standby/On] switch is in standby status, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms. 

NOTICE
While recording or editing, or while a message is displayed, the power cannot be turned off even if you press the [Standby/On] switch. If you want to turn off the power, press the [Standby/On] switch after recording, editing, or after the message has disappeared. If you need to force-quit the instrument, hold down the [Standby/On] switch for longer than three seconds. Note that the force-quit operation might cause data loss and damage to the instrument.

Auto Power Off function
To prevent unnecessary power consumption, this instrument features an Auto Power Off function that automatically turns the power off if the instrument is not operated for a specified period of time. The amount of time that elapses before the power is automatically turned off is approximately 30 minutes by default; however, you can change the setting (page 22).

NOTICE
Any data which is not saved via the Save operation will be lost if the power automatically turns off. Make sure to save your data before this happens.

Disabling Auto Power Off (simple method)
Turn the power on while holding down the lowest key on the keyboard. An "Auto power off disabled" message appears briefly and Auto Power Off is disabled.
(Figure)
A-1


Adjusting the Master Volume
To adjust the volume of the entire keyboard sound, use the [MASTER VOLUME] dial while playing the keyboard.
(Figure)

CAUTION
Do not use the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. 

Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC)
IAC is a function which automatically adjusts and controls the sound quality according to the overall volume of the instrument. Even when the volume is low, it permits both low sounds and high sounds to be clearly heard. IAC Control affects only the sound output of the instrument speakers. The default setting for this function is on. You can turn the IAC setting on or off, and set the depth. For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website (page 9).


Using Headphones
Connect a pair of headphones to the [PHONES] jack. Since this instrument is equipped with two [PHONES] jacks, you can connect two pairs of headphones. If you are using only one pair, insert the plug into either of these jacks.
(Figure)
Headphone hanger
Standard stereo phone plug

CAUTION
Do not use the headphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss.

Reproducing natural sound distance (Stereophonic Optimizer)
The Stereophonic Optimizer feature recreates for headphones the spacious sensation you hear when you play an acoustic piano. In general, the sound from headphones is much too close to your ears for natural sound. When this function is turn to on, you can sense a natural sound distance as if the sound is coming from the piano, even though you hear it on headphones. This function is effective only on the VRM Voices (page 52) and does not affect the sound output of the instrument speakers. The default setting for this function is on, but you can turn it off if desired. For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website (page 9).

NOTE
If you record a VRM Voice (page 52) with Audio recording (page 75) while this function is on, the Stereophonic Optimizer is applied to the recorded sound.

Using the Headphone Hanger
A headphone hanger is included in the instrument package so that you can hang the headphones on the instrument. Install the headphone hanger by following the instructions at the end of this manual.

NOTICE
Do not hang anything other than the headphones on the hanger. Otherwise, the instrument or the hanger may be damaged.

Using the Pedals
(Figure)
Soft Pedal
Sostenuto Pedal
Damper Pedal

NOTE
If the pedal box rattles or gives way when you step on the pedals, turn the adjuster so that it is set firmly against the floor (pages 104, 107, 110).

Damper Pedal (Right)
Pressing this pedal sustains notes. Releasing this pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. Pressing this pedal while you play a VRM Voice (page 52) recreates the characteristic string resonance of a real acoustic piano. A "half-pedal" function of this pedal creates partial sustain effects, depending on how far down you press the pedal.

(Score)
If you press and hold the damper pedal here, all the notes shown will be sustained.

NOTE
Certain Voices, such as strings and brass, sustain continuously when the damper/sostenuto pedal is pressed.
Certain Voices such as drum kits may not be affected by use of the damper/sostenuto pedal.

Half-pedal function
This function allows the sustain length to vary depending on how far the pedal is pressed. The farther you press the pedal, the more the sound sustains. For example, if you press the damper pedal and the notes you play sound a bit murky and loud with too much sustain, you can partially release the pedal to lessen the sustain (murkiness).

GP Responsive Damper Pedal (CVP-709 only)
This special pedal has been designed to provide enhanced tactile response and, when pressed, is much closer in feel to the pedal of an actual grand piano. It makes it easier to physically experience the half-pedal point and more easily apply the half-pedal effect than other pedals.
Since the pressing sensation may vary depending on the situation, including the location where the instrument is installed, you can adjust the half-pedal point to the desired setting on the display called up via [Menu] | [Assignable] | [Pedal]. For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website (page 9).

NOTE
The pedals are fitted with covers when shipped from the factory. Remove the cover from the pedals for optimum use of the GP Responsive Damper Pedal's effect.

Sostenuto Pedal (Center)
When the Piano Voice is selected, if you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press this pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held. All subsequent notes will not sustain.
When a Voice other than piano is selected, a specific function appropriate for the Voice is automatically assigned to the center pedal. 

(Score)
If you press and hold the sostenuto pedal here, only the notes held at this timing will be sustained.

Soft Pedal (Left)
When the Piano Voice is selected, pressing this pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of the notes you play. When a Voice other than piano is selected, a specific function appropriate for the Voice is automatically assigned to the left pedal.
You can adjust the depth of the Soft pedal effect on the display called up via [Menu] | [Assignable] | [Pedal]. For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website (page 9).

Assigning a function to each pedal
Various functions can be assigned to each of the three pedals and a foot controller/footswitch (sold separately) — including start/stop of Song playback and controlling a Super Articulation Voice. These can be set on the display called up via [Menu] | [Assignable] | [Pedal]. For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website (page 9).


Using the Metronome
The [METRONOME ON/OFF] button lets you start or stop the metronome. The metronome provides a click sound, giving you an accurate tempo guide when you practice, or letting you hear and check how a specific tempo sounds.

NOTE
You can also change the time signature, volume and sound of the metronome on the display called up via [Menu] | [Metronome] | [Metronome].

(Figure)


Adjusting the Tempo
The TEMPO [-] and [+] buttons let you change the playback tempo of Metronome, Style and MIDI Song. The tempo of the Style and MIDI Song can also be adjusted via the [TAP TEMPO] button.

NOTE
If you want to adjust the tempo of an Audio Song, use the Time Stretch function on page 74.

(Figure)

TEMPO [-]/[+] buttons 
Press the TEMPO [-] or [+] button to call up the Tempo pop-up display. Use the TEMPO [-]/[+] buttons to decrease or increase the tempo over a range of 5 – 500 beats per minute. Holding down either button changes the value continuously. Pressing both TEMPO [-] and [+] buttons calls up the default tempo of the last selected Style or Song. 

(Figure)

When you select an Audio Style (CVP-709 only; page 57), the upper limit of the tempo will be shown below the tempo value. The Audio part is muted if the tempo is over the upper limit.

[TAP TEMPO] button
During playback of a Style or MIDI Song, you can change the tempo by tapping the [TAP TEMPO] button twice at the desired tempo. When Style and Song are stopped, tapping the [TAP TEMPO] button (four times for a 4/4 time signature) starts playback of the rhythm part of the Style at the tempo you tapped.


Setting the Touch Sensitivity of the Keyboard
Touch Sensitivity determines how the sound responds to your playing strength. This setting does not change the weight of the keyboard.

1	Call up the display via [Menu] | [Keyboard].

(Figure)

2	Make the settings by touching the display.

(Table)
Touch Curve	Enter checkmarks to the boxes of the desired keyboard parts, then touch here to call up the setting window and select the Touch Sensitivity type. If you remove the checkmark, playing the corresponding part will produce a fixed velocity regardless of your playing strength.

NOTE
The Touch Sensitivity settings may have no effect with certain Voices.

Hard2: Requires strong playing to produce high volume. Best for players with a heavy touch.
Hard1: Requires moderately strong playing for high volume.
Medium: Standard Touch Sensitivity.
Soft1: Produces high volume with moderate playing strength.
Soft2: Produces relatively high volume even with light playing strength. Best for players with a light touch.
Fixed Velocity	Make sure that the box of the desired keyboard parts are checked, then touch here to call up the setting window and set the velocity with which you play the keys, which stays fixed regardless of your playing strength.
(Table end)

For details on the Left Hold function, refer to page 51.


Transposing the Pitch in Semitones
The TRANSPOSE [-]/[+] buttons transpose the overall pitch of the instrument (the keyboard sound, Style playback, MIDI Song playback, and so on) in semitone steps (from -12 to 12). Pressing the [-] and [+] buttons simultaneously resets the value to 0.

NOTE
If you want to transpose the pitch of the Audio Song, use the Pitch Shift parameter on page 73.
The Transpose functions do not affect the Drum Kit or SFX Kit Voices.

(Figure)

You can independently select the part to be transposed as desired. Touch the Transpose pop-up several times until the desired part appears, then use the TRANSPOSE [-]/[+] buttons to transpose it.

NOTE
Transpose can be done on the display also via [Menu] | [Transpose].

(Table)
Master	Transposes the pitch of the entire sound with the exception of the Audio Song and input sound from a microphone or the [AUX IN] jack.
Keyboard	Transposes the keyboard pitch including the chord root for triggering Style playback.
Song	Transposes the pitch of the MIDI Song. 
(Table end)

Fine tuning the pitch
By default, the pitch of the entire instrument is set to 440.0 Hz according to equal temperament. This setup can be changed from the display called up via [Menu] | [Tuning]. For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website (page 9).

Hz (Hertz):
This unit of measurement refers to the frequency of a sound and represents the number of times a sound wave vibrates in a second. This instrument is tuned to 440.0Hz by default to conform to the conventional tuning value (440.0Hz) of acoustic pianos.


Adjusting the Volume Balance
From the Balance display called up via [Menu] | [Balance], you can adjust the volume balance among the keyboard parts (Main, Layer, Left), the Style, the Song, the microphone sound, and the sound input via [AUX IN] jack. Slide your finger vertically for each part to adjust the volume. You can also adjust the volume balance of sound input via the USB wireless LAN adaptor, if one is connected.
Since the volume of MIDI Songs and Audio Songs are handled individually, you need to set the volume balance for each case (when a MIDI Song is selected, or when an Audio Song is selected).

NOTE
A USB wireless LAN adaptor may not be included depending on your area.

Voices 
– Playing the Keyboard –

The instrument features a wide variety of exceptionally realistic instrumental Voices, including piano, guitar, strings, brass, wind instruments and more.


Playing Preset Voices
The Voices can be played via three keyboard parts: Main, Layer and Left. These playing modes allow you to play just one single Voice (Main), play two different Voices in layer (Main and Layer), or play different Voices in the right- and left-hand areas of the keyboard (Main/Layer and Left). By combining these three parts, you can create luscious instrument textures and convenient performance combinations.

NOTE
You can also play only the Layer part by turning the Main part off.

(Figure)
Left part

When the Left part is turned off, the entire keyboard is used for the Main and Layer parts. When the Left part is turned on, the F#2 and lower keys are used for the Left part while the upper keys (excluding F#2) are used for the Main and Layer parts. The key which divides the keyboard into the left-hand and right-hand areas is referred to as "Split Point" and its guide lamp lights when the Left part is turned on. The Voices of the parts which are turned on can be confirmed on the Home display. 

NOTE
The Split Point can be changed (page 50).

1	Select the keyboard part then call up the Voice Selection display.

(Figure)

NOTE
The Voice settings can be memorized to Registration Memory (page 88).


Voice Characteristics 
At the left side of each Voice name on the Voice Selection display, the icon which represents its defining characteristic is indicated. 
There are various Voice characteristics; however, only the following ones are covered here. For detailed explanations, refer to the Reference Manual on the website (page 9).

(Figure)

VRM Voices (page 52)
These recreate the characteristic string resonance of a real acoustic piano.

Super Articulation (S.Art, S.Art2) Voices (page 53) 
The word "articulation" in music usually refers to the transition or continuity between notes. This is often reflected in specific performance techniques, such as staccato, legato and slur. 

Organ Flutes Voices (page 54)
Lets you recreate all of the classic organ sounds by adjusting the flute footage levels and the percussive sounds, just like on conventional organs.

Drum Voices, SFX Voices
Lets you play various drums and percussion instruments or SFX (sound effects) sounds on the keyboard. Details are given in the Drum/Key Assignment List of the separate Data List. When the Drum Kit Tutor icon appears in the Voice area of the Home display or below the Voice Selection display, you can display the Key assignment by touching the icon. For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website (page 9).


Setting the Split Point
The key which divides the keyboard into two or three areas is referred to as "Split Point." There are two types of Split Point: "Left Split Point" and "Style Split Point." The "Left Split Point" divides the keyboard into the Left Voice area and Main Voice area while the "Style Split Point" divides the keyboard into the Chord area and the Main or Left Voice area. Though both Split Points are at the same key (F#2) by default, you can also set them individually (as shown). 

(Figure)

You can set the Split Point also by pressing the actual key while holding down the keyboard illustration on the display. 

NOTE
The Left Split Point cannot be set lower than the Style Split Point.

Maintaining the Left Voice (even when releasing the keys)
When the Left Hold function is set to "On," the Left Voice is held even when the keys are released ([Menu] | [Keyboard] | [Setting]). Non-decaying Voices such as strings are held continuously, while decay-type Voices such as piano decay more slowly (as if the sustain pedal has been pressed).
When the Left Hold is "On," an "H" indication appears at the left side of the keyboard illustration in the center of the Home display.

(Figure)


Calling up the default Piano Settings (Piano Reset)
When you turn the power on, the Voice is set to "CFX Grand" allowing you to play the instrument as a piano across the entire keyboard. No matter what settings you've made from the panel, you can instantly call up these default settings.

NOTE
This function cannot be used while the Piano Room display (page 44) or the Piano Lock display (page below) is shown.

1	Press and hold down the [PIANO ROOM] button for two seconds or longer.
A message appears in the display.

2	Touch [Reset] to call up the default piano settings.


Piano Lock Function
You can "lock" the panel settings to the default Piano settings instantly, no matter what settings you've made from the panel. Once locked, the instrument stays in the default settings of Piano, even if other buttons are pressed — only allowing you to play the keyboard, use the pedals, or adjust the master volume. In other words, Piano Lock prevents you from accidentally selecting and playing another sound during your piano performance.

1	Press and hold down the [PIANO ROOM] button for two seconds or longer.
A message appears in the display.

2	Touch [Lock] to call up the Piano Lock display.
The panel settings will be locked in the default settings of Piano.

To disable Piano Lock, press and hold the [PIANO ROOM] button again for two seconds or longer. 
If you turn off the power with Piano Lock enabled, turning on the power next time will call up the Piano Lock display. 


Playing Realistic Resonance-enhanced Piano Sounds (VRM Voices)
On an actual acoustic piano, if you press the damper pedal and play a key, not only does the string of the pressed key vibrate, it also causes other strings and the soundboard to vibrate, with each influencing the rest, creating a rich and brilliant resonance that sustains and spreads. The VRM (Virtual Resonance Modeling) technology featured in the instrument reproduces the complicated interaction of both string and soundboard resonance faithfully using a virtual musical instrument (physical modeling), and makes the sound more like a real acoustic piano. Since instantaneous resonance is made at the moment according to the state of the keyboard or pedal, you can vary the sound expressively by changing the timing of your pressing the keys, and the timing and depth of your pressing the pedal. The default setting of this function is on. An icon (VRM) is shown at the left side of the Voice name of a VRM Voice on the Voice Selection display. Simply by selecting a VRM Voice, you can enjoy the VRM effect. 

You can turn the VRM function on or off, and adjust the depth. ([Menu] | [Voice Setting] | [Piano] | 1/2 page)

(Figure)

(Table)
VRM	Turns the VRM function on or off.
Damper Resonance Depth	Adjusts the depth of the VRM effect heard when pressing the damper pedal.
String Resonance Depth	Adjusts the depth of the VRM effect heard when playing the keyboard.
Reverb Depth	Adjusts the Reverb depth for VRM Voices.
Chorus Depth	Adjusts the Chorus depth for VRM Voices.
(Table end)

NOTE
These settings are applied commonly to all parts for which VRM Voices are selected.


Playing Super Articulation Voices
The Super Articulation Voices (S.Art Voices and S.Art2 Voices) enable you to create subtle, very realistic musical expressions, simply by how you play. The icons S.Art/S.Art2 are shown on the left side of the voice name of Super Articulation Voices (S.Art, S.Art2) on the Voice Selection display.

S.Art Voices
The S.Art Voices provide many benefits with great playability and expressive control in real time. 

Example: Saxophone Voice 
If you play a C note and then an adjacent D in a very legato way, you will hear the note change seamlessly, as though a saxophone player played it in a single breath. 
(Figure)

Example: Guitar Voice 
If you play a C note and then the E just above in a very legato but firm way, the pitch slides up from C to E.
(Figure)

S.Art2 Voices (CVP-709 only)
For wind instrument Voices and Violin Voices, a special technology called AEM has been used, which features detailed samples of special expressive techniques used on those specific instruments — to bend or slide into notes, to "join" different notes together, or to add expressive nuances at the end of a note, etc.

NOTE
AEM is a technology that simulates the sound of acoustic instruments naturally by smoothly joining the most appropriate sound samples selected from the data base in realtime during performance.

Example: Clarinet Voice 
If you hold a C note and play the B flat above, you'll hear a glissando up to the B flat.
Some "note off" effects are also produced automatically when you hold a note for over a certain time.

Adding Articulation Effects by Using the Pedal
When you assign an S.Art or S.Art2 Voice to the Main part, the function of the center or/and left pedals are switched to control articulation effects. Pressing a pedal triggers different playing effects, separate from your keyboard playing. For example, pressing a pedal for a saxophone Voice can produce breath noises or key noises, while doing the same for a guitar Voice can produce fret noises or body-tapping sounds. You can effectively intersperse these into the notes as you play.
When an S.Art2 Voice is selected, pressing a pedal and playing/releasing a note enables you to add articulation effects, such as bend up/down, glissando up/down, brass falls, etc.

NOTE
If you want to lock the pedal function regardless of the Voice, turn off the Switch With Main Voice parameter called up via [Menu] | [Assignable] | [Pedal] | [Switch With Main Voice]. 
If you assign the Articulation function to the ASSIGNABLE buttons (page 32), you can control articulation effects by using the buttons instead of the pedals.

For specific performance instructions on certain Voices, you can call up the Information window of the selected S.Art Voice or S.Art2 Voice by touching the S.Art/S.Art2 icon which appears on the upper right of the Voice name on the Home display.

NOTE
S.Art and S.Art2 Voices are only compatible with other models which have those types of Voices installed. Any Song or Style data you've created on the instrument using these Voices will not sound properly when played back on other instruments.
S.Art and S.Art2 Voices sound differently depending on the keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you turn on a Keyboard Harmony effect, change the transpose setting or change the Voice Settings, unexpected or undesired sounds may result.
The characteristics of S.Art2 Voices (default vibrato setting and articulation effects applied by the pedals) are effective for real-time performance; however, these effects may not be completely reproduced when you play back a Song which has been recorded using S.Art2 Voices.


Creating Original Organ Flutes Voices
The instrument uses advanced digital technology to recreate the legendary sound of vintage organs. Just as on a traditional organ, you can create your own sound by increasing and decreasing the levels of the flute footages. The created Voice can be saved for future recall.

NOTE
The term "footage" is a reference to the sound generation of traditional pipe organs, in which the sound is produced by pipes of different lengths (in feet).

1	On the Voice Selection display, select the desired Organ Flutes Voice.
Touch the [Organ Flutes] tab in the [Organ] category, then select the desired Organ Voice.

2	Return to the Home display, then touch Organ Flutes icon located at the upper right of the Voice name to call up the Organ Flutes Voice Edit display. 

3	Slide the Footage levers to adjust the footage settings.
The footage settings determine the basic sound of the Organ Flutes.

(Figure)

If you want, you can select the Organ type, change the settings such as Rotary Speaker and Vibrato.

NOTE
You can also make Effects and EQ settings. For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website (page 9).

(Table)
1	Organ Type	Specifies the type of organ tone generation to be simulated.
2	Volume	Determines the volume of the entire Organ Flutes sound.
3	Rotary Speaker	Alternately switches between the slow and fast rotary speaker speeds. This parameter is available only when an effect which contains "Rotary" or "Rot" in its name is applied.
4	Vibrato	Turns the vibrato on or off, and allows you to adjust the vibrato depth and vibrato speed.
5	Response	Adjusts the response speed of both the Attack and Release portions of the sound.
6	Attack	Switches between two different Attack modes: First and Each, and determines the length of the Attack sound.
(Table end)

4	Touch Save icon and save the created Organ Voice.
For instructions on saving, refer to page 33. 

NOTICE
The settings will be lost if you select another Voice or turn the power to the instrument off without executing the Save operation.

NOTE
In addition to the Organ Flutes Voices, other Voices can be edited by calling up the Voice Edit display after selecting the desired Voice. For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website (page 9).


Styles 
– Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment –

The instrument features a variety of accompaniment and rhythmic backing patterns (called "Styles") in a variety of different musical genres including pop, jazz, and many others. Each Style features Auto Accompaniment, letting you produce automatic accompaniment playback simply by playing "chords" with your left hand. This lets you automatically recreate the sound of a full band or orchestra — even if you’re playing by yourself.


Playing with a Style
Try out Style accompaniment with the following song. After you understand how to use the Style, try out other songs by using various Styles.

Mary Had a Little Lamb (Style: Country 8Beat)
(Score)

NOTE
The Fingering type (page 64) of "Multi Finger" (default setting) or "Single Finger" can be used for the example score here; the instructions hereafter assume one or the other is used.

1	On the Home display, touch the Style name to call up the Style Selection display.

(Figure)

2	Touch the desired Style. 
For the example score above, touch [Country & Blues] category and touch [Modern Country], then touch [Country 8Beat].

Style Characteristics 
The Style type and its defining characteristics are indicated on the Preset Style icon, such as Audio (CVP-709 only) and Pro. There are various Style characteristics; however, only Audio Styles are covered here. 
For details about the other icons, refer to the Reference Manual on the website (page 9). 
(Figure)

Audio Style (CVP-709 only)
The Audio Styles have been specially produced by adding audio recordings of studio musicians playing in various recording studios worldwide. This adds all the natural feel, ambience and warmth to the drums and percussion of the Style, giving your performance greater expressive potential. Specifically, it retains the subtle nuances and grooves that are difficult to reproduce using the preset drum/percussion kit. Yamaha Time Stretch Technology allows the audio to follow your tempo changes without changing pitch, so everything stays in perfect sync.

NOTE
Audio Styles may take more time to load than others.
If the tempo is set to over 160% of the default, the audio part is muted.
Audio Styles cannot be copied to USB flash drive. (Audio Styles can be copied only to User memory of the instrument.) 
You can record your performance using an Audio Style when the method of Audio recording is in WAV format, it cannot be recorded when in MP3 format. Also, if you record the song using MIDI recording, the audio part cannot be recorded. Refer to page 75 for details. However, only in the Piano Room, the audio part can be recorded by using MIDI recording (page 47). 

A Style generally consists of eight parts (channels): rhythm, bass, etc., although Audio Styles (CVP-709 only) consist of nine parts, including an additional Audio part. You can add variations and change the feeling of a Style by selectively turning channels on/off or by changing the Voices (page 93).

Style File Compatibility 
This instrument uses the SFF GE file format (page 8) and can play back existing SFF files; however, they will be saved in the SFF GE format when the file is saved (or loaded) in this instrument. Please keep in mind that the saved file can only be played back on instruments that are compatible with the SFF GE format. 


Style Control Operations

Changing the Chord Fingering Type
By changing the Chord Fingering type, you can automatically produce appropriate accompaniment even if you don’t press all of the notes which comprise a chord. 

1	Call up the Split Point/Fingering window: [Menu] | [Split&Fingering].

NOTE
The Split Point/Fingering window can be called up also by holding the keyboard illustration on the Home display.

(Figure)

2	Touch [Left arrow]/[Right arrow] to select the desired Fingering Type.

(Table)
Single Finger	Lets you easily play chords in the accompaniment range of the keyboard using only one, two or three fingers. This type is available only for Style playback.
Major chord
Press the root key only.
Minor chord
Simultaneously press the root key and a black key to its left.
Seventh chord
Simultaneously press the root key and a white key to its left.
Minor seventh chord
Simultaneously press the root key and both a white and black key to its left.
Multi Finger	Automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered chord fingerings, so you can use either type of fingering without having to switch fingering types.
Fingered	Lets you finger your own chords on the chord section of the keyboard, while the instrument supplies appropriately orchestrated rhythm, bass, and chord accompaniment in the selected Style. The Fingered type recognizes the various chord types which are listed on the separate Data List booklet and can be looked up using the Chord Tutor function called up via [Menu] | [ChordTutor]. 
Fingered On Bass	Accepts the same fingerings as Fingered, but the lowest note played in the Chord section of the keyboard is used as the bass note, allowing you to play "on bass" chords. (In the Fingered mode, the root of the chord is always used as the bass note.) 
Full Keyboard	Detects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way similar to Fingered, even if you split the notes between your left and right hands — for example, playing a bass note with your left hand and a chord with your right, or by playing a chord with your left hand and a melody note with your right. 
AI Fingered	Basically the same as Fingered, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.).
NOTE
Only in the Piano Room, your performance in the Chord section produces the sound of the selected Voice as well as that of the accompaniment.
AI Full Keyboard	When this advanced fingering type is engaged, the instrument will automatically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard using both hands. You don't have to worry about specifying the Style chords. Although the AI Full Keyboard type is designed to work with many songs, some arrangements may not be suitable for use with this feature. This type is similar to Full Keyboard, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). 9th, 11th and 13th chords cannot be played. This type is available only for Style playback.
(Table end)

NOTE
When the Fingering Type is set as "Fingered*", it cannot be changed. Change the Chord Detection Area to "Lower" via [Menu] | [Split&Fingering] | Page 2/2, and then change the Fingering Type. 

By changing the Chord Detection Area from the left-hand section to the right-hand section, you can play the bass line with your left hand while using your right hand to control Style playback. For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website (page 9).


Chords
For users who are unfamiliar with chords, this handy chart features common chords for your quick reference. Since there are many useful chords and many different ways to use them musically, refer to commercially available chord books for further details.

Song Playback 
– Playing and Practice Songs –

For the Clavinova, "Song" refers to MIDI or audio data which include preset songs, commercially available music files, etc. Not only can you play back a Song and listen to it, but you can also play the keyboard along with Song playback.
There are two kinds of Songs that can be recorded and played back on this instrument: MIDI Songs and Audio Songs.

MIDI Song
A MIDI Song is comprised of your keyboard performance information and is not a recording of the actual sound itself. The performance information refers to which keys are played, at what timing, and at what strength — just as in a musical score. Based on the recorded performance information, the tone generator (of the Clavinova, etc.) outputs the corresponding sound. Since MIDI Song data contains the information such as keyboard part and Voice, you can practice effectively by viewing the score, turning the particular part on or off, or changing Voices. 

Audio Song
An Audio Song is a recording of the performed sound itself. This data is recorded in the same way as that used in recording cassette tapes, or with voice recorders, etc. Audio Songs can be played back on portable music players and many other devices, making it easy for you to let others hear what you have played.

Availability of functions differs between MIDI Songs and Audio Songs. In this chapter, the following icons indicate whether or not the explanation applies to MIDI Songs or Audio Songs individually.
Example: MIDI icon highlighted, Audio icon grayed out … Indicates explanation applies only to MIDI Songs.

Playback of Songs
Applies to both MIDI and Audio Songs

You can play back the following types of Songs.
Preset Songs (MIDI Songs)
Your own recorded Songs (see page 75 for instructions on recording)
Commercially available Songs: MIDI files in SMF (Standard MIDI File) format, Audio files in WAV or MP3 format.

(Table)
WAV	44.1 kHz sample rate, 16 bit resolution, stereo
MP3	MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3: 44.1/48.0 kHz sample rate, 64 – 320 kbps and variable bit rate, mono/stereo
(Table end)

NOTE
For a general overview of MIDI and how you can effectively use it, refer to “MIDI Basics” on website (page 9).
For information on compatible MIDI formats, refer to page 8.

If you want to play back a Song in a USB flash drive, connect the USB flash drive containing Song data to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal beforehand.

To do this, select an Audio Song then touch Time Stretch icon in the Song area of the Home display to call up the Setup window. Touch [Left arrow]/[Right arrow] in this window to set the value (from 70% to 160%). Higher values result in a faster tempo.

NOTE
Playback speed cannot be changed for MP3 files of 48 kHz sampling rate.

(Figure)


Canceling the Vocal Part (Vocal Cancel)
Applies only to Audio Songs

You can cancel or attenuate the center position of the stereo sound. This lets you sing "karaoke" style with just instrumental backing, or play the melody part on the keyboard, since the vocal sound is usually at the center of the stereo image in most recordings.
To turn the Vocal Cancel function on/off, first select an Audio Song, then turn on/off Vocal Cancel icon in the Song area of the Home display.

NOTE
Though the Vocal Cancel function is highly effective on most audio recordings, the vocal sound on some songs may not be completely cancelled.

Song Recording 
– Recording Your Performance –

This instrument allows you to record your performance in the following two methods.

MIDI recording
With this method, recorded performances are saved to the instrument or a USB flash drive as an SMF (format 0) MIDI file. If you want to re-record a specific section or change Voices and edit other parameters, use this method. Also if you want to record your performance to each channel one by one, execute Multi Track Recording of the MIDI recording method. Since a MIDI Song can be converted to an Audio Song after recording (page 81), you may want to use MIDI recording (with overdubbing and multiple parts) to first create a complex arrangement you would not otherwise be able to play live, then convert it to an Audio Song. This instrument allows you to record approximately 300 KB per Song.

Audio recording
With this method, recorded performances are saved to a USB flash drive as an Audio file. Recording is done without designating the recorded part. Since it is saved in stereo WAV format of normal CD quality resolution (44.1kHz/16-bit) by default, it can be transmitted to and played on portable music players by using a computer. The file format can be changed to MP3 via [Menu] | [SongSetting] | [Rec] | [Audio Rec Format]. This instrument allows you to record up to 80 minutes per single recording.


Basic Procedure for Recording (MIDI/Audio Recording)
Before recording, make the necessary settings such as Voice/Style selection (for MIDI Recording and Audio Recording) and the microphone connection (only for Audio Recording, if you want to record your vocal). As necessary, connect the USB flash drive to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal, especially if you want to execute Audio Recording. 

NOTE
Before using a USB flash drive, be sure to read "Connecting USB Devices" on page 97.
You can record your performance using an Audio Style when recording the audio in WAV format, but not in MP3 format. Also, if you record the song using MIDI recording, the audio part cannot be recorded. Only in the Piano Room, however, the audio part can be recorded by using MIDI recording (page 47).

Before starting Audio Recording:
Recorded data via Audio can only be saved to USB flash drive. If you want to execute Audio Recording, make sure to connect the USB flash drive beforehand. 

1	On the Home display, touch [Right arrow] at the upper right to expand the Song area, then touch [Rec] to call up the Song Recording window.
(Figure)

NOTE
The contents of the Song Recording window differ depending on the panel settings.
Here and in the later steps, the operation in the Song area of the Home display can be controlled by the SONG CONTROL buttons (page 68).

2	Touch [New MIDI] or [New Audio] to select the desired type of recording.
If you want to cancel recording, touch [Cancel] in the display or press the SONG CONTROL [REC] button.
(Figure)

NOTE
[Overwrite MIDI] appears only when a MIDI Song has been selected before starting recording.

3	Start Recording.
With MIDI Recording, you can start recording either by playing the keyboard or touching [Rec Start]. With Audio Recording, start recording by touching [Rec Start].
(Figure)

You can also start recording by pressing the SONG CONTROL [PLAY/PAUSE] button.

Part Assignment to Channels (MIDI Recording)
With MIDI Recording, you can record your performance to each channel one by one (page 78). When you execute MIDI Recording without specifying the part as explained here, the keyboard parts will be recorded to channels 1 – 3 and the Style parts will be recorded to channels 9 – 16. 

4	Play the keyboard.

The recorded MIDI Song will be lost if you change to another Song or you turn the power off without executing the save operation. 

7-1	On the Home display, touch Save icon shown in the Song area.
The Song Selection display appears for selecting a destination to save the recorded Song.

7-2	Save the recorded data as a file by following the instructions on page 33, steps 2 – 5.
MIDI Songs can be saved to User MIDI Song tab.

In Audio Recording
Since the Audio Song file is automatically saved to the USB flash drive while recording, the Save operation is not required. The recorded Audio Song will appear in the User Audio Song tab on the Song Selection display. If desired, rename the file name by following the instructions on page 34. 

When you want to re-record an already recorded MIDI Song:
You can overwrite an already recorded MIDI Song. To do this, select the desired MIDI Song (steps 1 – 2 on page 67), then start recording. In step 2 on page 76, confirm that [Overwrite MIDI] is selected, and go on to step 3.


Recording to Specified Channels (MIDI Recording)
With MIDI Recording, you can create a MIDI Song consisting of 16 channels by recording your performance to each channel one by one. In recording a piano piece, for example, you can record the right-hand part to channel 1 then record the left-hand part to channel 2, allowing you create a complete piece which may be difficult to play live with both hands together. To record a performance with Style playback, for example, record the Style playback to channels 9 – 16, then record melodies to channel 1 while listening to the already recorded Style playback. In this way, you can create an entire Song which would otherwise be difficult, or even impossible, to play live.

1	If you want to re-record an existing MIDI Song, select the desired Song (steps 1 – 2 on page 67).
If you want to record from scratch, skip this step.

2	On the Home display, touch [Right arrow] at the upper right to expand the Song area, then touch [Rec] to call up the Song Recording window.
