CVP-202

Use MIDI cables to connect the MIDI terminals on the Clavinova to

other MIDI devices. The Clavinova’s MIDI terminals are located at the

left of the unit on the rear panel.

Tone generators or other devices to be controlled by the Clavinova can

be connected to the MIDI [OUT] terminal. Devices that will control the

Clavinova should be connected to the MIDI [IN] terminal. If you have a

personal computer or sequencer that will control the Clavinova, you may

want to connect it to both the [IN] and [OUT] terminals to allow two-way

communication. In this case, any other instruments to be controlled by the

same device can be connected to the Clavinova’s MIDI [THRU] terminal.

You can use the MIDI terminals to connect your Clavinova to a wide range of MIDI devices,

including personal computers, sequencers, tone generators, and so on. You can also use

computer music data with the Clavinova by connecting a computer to the [TO HOST] or [MIDI] jack.

Be sure to turn off the power when connecting or disconnecting computers or MIDI equipment, as failing to

do so can result in damage to equipment.

• If you simply want to connect your

Clavinova to a personal computer, it

may be more convenient to use the

[TO HOST] terminal, as your computer

won’t need a special MIDI interface to

make that connection.

When you use the computer’s USB

port to connect your Clavinova, a USB

interface is needed.

• The MIDI terminals are particularly

convenient when you want the

Clavinova to function as part of a more

extensive MIDI setup.

“The Clavinova-Computer Connection” is a supplementary guidebook that describes, for beginners, what you can do with your

Clavinova and a personal computer and how to set up a Clavinova-Computer system (the manual is not written for any specific

models). The document is available as a PDF file (in English) at the following Internet address:

Clavinova Web site (English only) :

When you use the MIDI termi-

nals, set the [HOST SELECT]

switch to the MIDI position. The

MIDI terminals will not transmit or

receive data if this switch is set to

any other position.

You can set the Clavinova’s

MIDI parameters using pages 9

through 12 of the FUNCTION dis-

play (see page 147 through 150).

• When connecting the Clavinova to a personal computer, first turn off the power to both the Clavinova

and the computer before you connect any cables or set the [HOST SELECT] switch. After making the

connections and switch settings, turn on the power to the computer first, then to the Clavinova.

• If you do not use the [TO HOST] jack of the Clavinova, make sure you disconnect the cable from the

jack. If the cable is left connected, the Clavinova may not function properly.

• When the [HOST SELECT] switch is set to “PC-1,” PC-2,” or “Mac,” you can use the [TO HOST] jack,

but the MIDI connectors are disabled since no data transfer occurs via the MIDI connectors. On the

other hand, when the [HOST SELECT] switch is set to “MIDI,” you can use the MIDI connectors, but

not the [TO HOST] jack since no data is transferred via the [TO HOST] jack.
