Enter and set the chords and/or style changes.

..........

To enter a chord, either play the chord with appropriate fingering in

the left range of the keyboard (lower than the split point), or highlight
ROOT or TYPE in the LCD display and use the data dial or [–] and [+]
buttons.

You can also select the chord by pressing the

ROOT and/or TYPE

buttons.

The names of chords entered using the
keyboard are also displayed by the ROOT
and TYPE functions.

The name of the chord is displayed next to the keyboard icon in

the box at the middle of the display.

To enter a style change (style, section and tempo) simply make

the appropriate selections in the normal way.

Once the chord and/or style has been selected, press the

SET

button.

A black box and the recorded chord name appear above the line

at the current position in the measure indicator, indicating that

the data has been recorded at that position. The cursor auto-

matically moves to the next position.

The recorded data is also shown in the display: the time signature,

style name, and section appear at the top, and the chord name and
tempo in the box at the middle of the display.

The chord name is indicated only at the first
beat of the measure line, except when a
style uses the 4/4 time signature, in which
case the chord name is indicated at the first
and third beats.

Continue moving the cursor to other positions and enter chords and

style changes in this manner. You can always check the entered data
during the operation by playing back the sequence using the [PLAY/
STOP]
button.

The data recorded by the Chord Sequence function is listed below.

Data Recorded by the Chord Sequence Function

• Accompaniment style

• Section (MAIN A/B/C/D, Intro, Ending, Auto-fill, Fade-in/out, Break)

• Chord name

• Tempo

• Auto accompaniment part volume (MIXER settings)

• Rhythm on/off

• ACMP/SONG volume (as an initial setting only)

A fade-out cannot be entered during a fade-
in.

Entering Rhythm-only Sections
You can also record the rhythm alone (with-
out accompaniment) to your song. To do
this, record a blank chord in the desired
measure by leaving the TYPE function set
to “ ---.”

Entering a Break
• A complete break can be created by

setting the chord type to “ ---” and setting
the rhythm sound to “OFF” (see
“RHYTHM ON/OFF” below).

• The “break fill” pattern triggered by the

left pedal (page 190) cannot be entered
using the Chord Sequence function.

• The Clavinova will normally play a fill-in

pattern as it switches between variations
(MAIN A through MAIN D). To have the
Clavinova change the style variation at
the start of a measure without playing a
fill-in pattern, press the button for that
variation twice before pressing SET.

• The measure number is shown to the left

of the measure indicator.

• For information on other useful editing

features, see “Other Chord Sequence
Functions,” below.

• The same chord cannot be entered twice

in a row. If the chord displayed by the
ROOT and TYPE functions is the same
as the last chord that was recorded, the
Clavinova will not record a chord change
when the SET button is pressed.
