The Pedals

The CLP-152S/153S has two foot pedals that produce a range of expressive effects simi-

lar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.

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 semi-

tones), 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.

NOTE

• Notes below and above the A-1 — C7 of the Clavinova sound one oc-

tave higher and lower, respectively.

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.

Transposition

When the power is turned on the left pedal is set for soft pedal operation.

Pressing the soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre

of notes played.

The left pedal can be switched to sostenuto operation by pressing the

pedal while holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. If you play a note or

chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are

held, those notes will be sustained as long as the pedal is held (as if the

damper pedal had been pressed) but all subsequently played notes will not

be sustained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while

other notes are played “staccato.” You can switch back to soft pedal opera-

tion at any time simply by pressing the pedal while holding the [MIDI/

TRANSPOSE] button again.

The damper pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on an

acoustic piano. When the damper pedal is pressed notes played have a long

sustain. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes.
