Portamento:
Portamento is a function that cre-
ates a smooth transition in pitch
from the first note played on the
keyboard to the next. The porta-
mento time (the pitch transition
time) can be set via the MIXING
CONSOLE display (page 82).
DSP:
Stands for Digital Signal Proces-
sor (or Processing). DSP changes
and enhances the audio signal in
the digital realm to produce a
wide range of effects.
HARMONY/ECHO The Harmony/Echo types are applied to the right-hand Voices (page 79).
MONO/POLY This determines whether the part’s Voice is played monophonically
(only one note at a time) or polyphonically. Using the MONO mode
lets you play single, lead sounds (such as brass instruments) more realis-
tically. It also lets you expressively control the Portamento effect
(depending on the selected Voice) by playing legato.
DSP/DSP VARIA-
TION With the digital effects built into the Clavinova, you can add ambience
and depth to your music in a variety of ways—such as adding reverb
that makes you sound like you are playing in a concert hall.
• The DSP switch is used to turn the DSP (Digital Signal Processor)
effect on or off for the currently selected keyboard part.
• The DSP Variation switch is used to change between variations of the
DSP effect. You could use this while you play, for example, to change
the rotating speed (slow/fast) of the rotary speaker effect.
