Clavinova Owner's Manual

CVP-109/107/105/700

Features of the Clavinova

● Large, Easy-to-use LCD Display

The large LCD (together with the various panel buttons) provides comprehensive and easy-to-un-

derstand control of the Clavinova’s operations (page 16).

● Wealth of Rich, Realistic Voices

The Clavinova has a wide variety of authentic and dynamic voices, including 224 original voices

(195 voices on the CVP-105), 6 Organ Flute voices (CVP-109/107/700), 480 XG voices, and 13 drum/

SFX kits (12 kits on the CVP-105). These include exceptionally natural-sounding piano, strings and

brass voices, and the particularly expressive “sweet” wind voices (the CVP-105 has one sweet voice,

“SweetTrumpet”). Moreover, you can play realistic drum and percussion sounds directly from the key-

board (page 36).

● 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 113). If the software contains lyrics, you can display them on the Clavinova’s LCD — on the

CVP-107, CVP-109 and CVP-700, you can even output them to a television screen via the VIDEO

OUT jack (page 215).

● 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 125).

● 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 69). There’s even a wide selection of

“Pianist” styles that allow you to enjoy solo piano accompaniment (page 70). Choose from no less

than 170 accompaniment styles (the exact number of styles depends on the model), or create your own

custom styles (page 91).

● 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 90). Or access the Music Database to choose from more than 400 sets

of style and voice settings, selectable by title or style (page 79). You can even save your current setup

for instant recall later using the handy Registration function (page 108).

● 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, Chord Sequence Recording, and Step Edit

functions (page 130).

● Automatic Vocal Harmony Function (CVP-109/107/700)

The Clavinova’s unique Vocal Harmony feature employs advanced voice-processing technology to

automatically produce vocal harmony based on a lead vocal, allowing a single singer to sound like a

vocal group (page 175).

● 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 216).
