Pitch Control

● Tuning Up

ZTo tune up (raise pitch), hold the E0 and F0 keys simultaneously.

XPress any key between C3 and B3. Each time a key in this range is

pressed the pitch is increased by approximately 1.6 cents, up to a maxi-

mum of 50 cents above standard pitch.

CRelease the E0 and F0 keys.

ZTo tune down (lower pitch), hold the E0 and F#0 keys simultaneously.

XPress any key between C3 and B3. Each time a key in this range is

pressed the pitch is decreased by approximately 1.6 cents, up to a maxi-

mum of 50 cents below standard pitch.

CRelease the E0 and F#0 keys.

ZTo restore standard pitch (A3 = 440 Hz), hold the E0, F0 and F#0 keys

simultaneously.

XPress any key between C3 and B3.

CRelease the E0, F0 and F#0 keys.

* Standard pitch (A3 = 440 Hz) is set when the [POWER] switch is ini-

tially turned ON.

Note: The PITCH CONTROL function has no effect when LOCAL OFF is active

(see “MIDI FUNCTIONS,” page 12).

● Tuning Down

● To Restore Standard Pitch*

Pitch control makes it possible to tune the Clavinova over a ±50-cent range in approximately

1.6-cent intervals. A hundred “cents” equals one semitone, so the tuning range provided allows

fine tuning of overall pitch over a range of approximately a semitone. Pitch control is useful for

tuning the Clavinova to match other instruments or recorded music.

The [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button and keys F#2 through F#3 on the keyboard are used for transposition.

ZPress and hold the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.

XPress a key between F#2 and F#3 according to the desired amount of

transposition.*

CRelease the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.

* Pressing the C3 key produces normal keyboard pitch. Pressing the key to the left of C3 (B2) transposes the pitch of the

keyboard down a semitone, the next key to the left (Bb2) transposes down a whole tone (two semitones), etc., down to

the F#2 key which transposes down 6 semitones. Upward transposition is accomplished in the same way using the keys

to the right of C3, up to F#3 which transposes up 6 semitones.

Transposition

The Clavinova’s TRANSPOSE function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire key-

board up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of six semitones. “Transposing” the

pitch of the Clavinova keyboard facilitates playing in difficult key signatures, and you can easily

match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instrumentalist.
