The Utility Functions

Keyboard

■ Transpose .........................................................................................................

The Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the

entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum

of two octaves (from –24 through 0 to +24). “Transposing” the pitch

of the Clavinova keyboard makes it easier to play in difficult key

signatures, and you can simply match the pitch of the keyboard to

the range of a singer or other instrumentalist.

Use the data dial or [+]/[–] buttons to set the desired degree of

transposition.

■ Octave Shift......................................................................................................

This function includes three parameters which determine whether

the left-hand voice in a split keyboard setup (LEFT), the 2nd voice

in the dual mode (2ND), and the right-hand or main voice (RIGHT/

1) will be shifted up or down one octave.

Press the LEFT, 2ND, or RIGHT/1 LCD button as many times

as necessary to set as required:

–1 Corresponding voice shifted down one octave.

0 No shift. (Default for the RIGHT/1 and 2nd voices.)

+1 Corresponding voice shifted up one octave. (Default for the

LEFT voice.)

■ Touch Sensitivity ......................................................................................

The Clavinova can be set to one of five different types of key-

board touch sensitivity to match different playing styles and prefer-

ences. Press the KEY TOUCH button as many times as necessary to

select the desired touch response setting.

SOFT 2 Allows maximum loudness to be produced with very light

key pressure.

SOFT 1 Not as sensitive as the “SOFT 2” setting, but maximum

loudness can still be easily produced with relatively light

key pressure.

NORMAL Produces a fairly “standard” keyboard response. (Default.)

HARD 1 Requires the keys to be played quite hard to produce

maximum loudness.

HARD 2 Requires the keys to be played very hard to produce maxi-

mum loudness.

• The Touch Sensitivity setting is retained in

memory even when the power is turned off if

the BACKUP page VOICE SETTING param-

eter is turned on (page 107), otherwise the

NORMAL setting is automatically selected

whenever the POWER switch is turned on.

• Press the [–] and [+] buttons simultaneously

to restore normal keyboard pitch (“0”).

• The Transpose setting is retained in memory

even when the power is turned off if the

BACKUP page VOICE SETTING parameter

is turned on (page 107), otherwise the

Transpose is always set to “0” when the

power is turned on.

• The transpose function does not affect the

Drum Kit voices.

• Notes below and above the original 88-key

range of the Clavinova sound one octave

higher and lower, respectively.

• The Octave Shift setting is retained in

memory even when the power is turned off if

the BACKUP page VOICE SETTING param-

eter is turned on (page 107).

• Notes below and above the original 88-key

range of the Clavinova sound one octave

higher and lower, respectively.

• In the normal play mode (i.e. single voice

mode) only the RIGHT/1 setting is effective.
