Features of the Clavinova
● Easy-to-use LCD Display
The LCD (together with the various panel buttons) provides comprehensive and easy-to-understand
control of the Clavinova’s operations (page 16).
● Wealth of Rich, Realistic Voices
The CVP-103 has a wide variety of authentic and dynamic voices, including 195 original voices,
480 XG voices, and 12 drum/SFX kits. These include exceptionally natural-sounding piano, strings
and brass voices, and the particularly expressive “SweetTrumpet” voice. Moreover, you can play real-
istic drum and percussion sounds directly from the keyboard (page 31).
● Playback of Song Disks
The Clavinova can play back various commercially available song disks. With the appropriate disk
software, you can play the piano part of the song yourself along with a full orchestra or backing band
(page 93). If the software contains lyrics, you can display them on the Clavinova’s LCD.
● Special Guide Functions for Easy Learning
With the appropriate disk software, the LCD display and guide lamps help you learn songs by
showing you when and where to play the proper notes. The three-step system helps you to master each
song quickly and easily (page 105).
● Fun, Dynamic Automatic Accompaniment
The Auto Accompaniment of the Clavinova gives you full, exciting instrumental backing in your
favorite music styles, according to the chords you play (page 57). There’s even a wide selection of
“Pianist” styles that allow you to enjoy solo piano accompaniment (page 58). Choose from 160 ac-
companiment styles, or create your own custom styles (page 73).
● Easy Access to a Variety of Musical Enjoyment
The Clavinova offers several ways to change panel settings without a lot of fuss. You can use the
One Touch Setting feature to select from four sets of voice, effect, and other settings appropriate to
each accompaniment style (page 72). Or access the Music Database to choose from 463 sets of style
and voice settings, selectable by title or style (page 67). You can even save your current setup for in-
stant recall later using the handy Registration function (page 89).
● Easy-to-use Recording Features
You can record songs using a variety of methods, depending on your keyboard expertise and prefer-
ence. Choose from the Quick Recording, Track Recording, and Chord Sequence Recording functions
(page 110).
● Convenient TO HOST Terminals for Direct Connection to Computers
The Clavinova can be used as a high-quality sound source to play back music software for comput-
ers. It can also be used as a master keyboard, to enter performance data and create music with a com-
puter (page 160).
