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.
