The [TOUCH SENSITIVITY] button selects four different types of keyboard touch sensitivity —

HARD, MEDIUM, SOFT or FIXED — to match different playing styles and preferences. The different

touch sensitivity settings are selected by using the [TOUCH SENSITIVITY] button.

Touch Sensitivity

HARD............................

The HARD setting requires the keys to be played quite hard to produce maximum loudness.

MEDIUM ....................... The MEDIUM setting produces a fairly “standard” keyboard response. This is the initial

factory default setting.

SOFT ............................ The SOFT setting allows maximum loudness to be produced with relatively light key

pressure.

FIXED (No indicator lit) ... All notes are produced at the same volume no matter how hard the keyboard is played.

This is an ideal setting for voices which normally have no keyboard sensitivity (i.e.

harpsichord and organ).

● Memorizing the Touch

Press the C7 key while holding the [TOUCH SENSITIVITY] button to memo-

rize the current touch sensitivity setting. The memorized setting will be retained in

memory for about one week after the power is turned off, then the default setting

will be restored. To keep the memorized setting for longer periods, turn the power

on briefly at least once a week.

If this settings is not memorized as described above, it is retained in memory

only until the Clavinova is turned off.

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.

The [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button and keys F#2 through F#3 on the keyboard, or the TEMPO [s] and [t] buttons, are

used for transposition.

ZPress and hold the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. The current transpose setting

will appear on the TEMPO display (“-6” semitones through “0” through “6”

semitones).

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

tion*, or use the TEMPO [s] and [t] buttons to set the required transposition

value. The “0” default setting can be instantly recalled by simultaneously press-

ing the TEMPO [s] and [t] buttons.

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 accom-

plished in the same way using the keys to the right of C3, up to F#3 which trans-

poses up 6 semitones.

NOTE

• Hold either the TEMPO [

] or [

] button for continuous scrolling in the specified

direction.

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

and lower, respectively.

• If the VIBES indicator lights when the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button is pressed, the

Individual Key Tuning mode is ON (see page 16) and the transposition function

cannot be used.
