Introduction
Thank you for choosing a Yamaha CLP-134 Clavinova. Your Clavinova is a fine musical instru-
ment that employs advanced Yamaha music technology. With the proper care, your Clavinova will
give you many years of musical pleasure.
@ Stereo sampling of the acoustic piano voices offers unmatched realism and expressive power, while
the AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generator system offers rich, realistic reproductions of all
other voices.
€ 32-note polyphony permits usc of the most sophisticated playing techniques.
€ Piano-like touch response — adjustable in 3 stages — provides extensive expressive control and out-
standing playability.
@ Dual play mode allows 2 voices to be played simultaneously.
@ A number of built-in effects for wide-ranging sonic versatility.
@ Unique Clavinova Tone voice provides a fresh sound for new musical expression.
@ Damper pedal includes natural resonance effect for the piano voices, simulating the string and sound-
board resonance of acoustic pianos.
@ MIDI compatibility and a range of MIDI functions make the Clavinova useful in a range of advanced
MIDI music systems.
In order to make the most of your Clavinova’s performance potential and features, we urge you
to read this Owner's Manual thoroughly, and keep it in a safe place for later reference.
Taking Care Of Your Clavinova
Your Clavinova is a fine musical instrument, and deserves the most careful treatment.
Observe the following points and your Clavinova will sound and look great for many years.
1 Never open the case and touch or tamper with the inter-
nal circuitry.
2 Always turn the POWER switch OFF after use, and
close the key cover to protect the keyboard.
3 Clean the cabinet and keys of your Clavinova only with
a clean, slightly damp cloth. A neutral cleanser may be
used if desired. Never use abrasive cleansers, waxes,
solvents or chemical dust cloths since these can dull or
damage the finish.
4 Never place any viny! products on your Clavinova. Con-
tact with vinyl can cause irreversible damage to the
finish.
5 Install your Clavinova in a place that is away from di-
rect sunlight, excessive humidity or heat.
6 Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors
or other parts of your Clavinova, and avoid scratching
or bumping it with hard objects.
7 Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the
voltage specificd on the name plate.* In some areas a
voltage selector may be provided on the rcar panel of
the main unit. Make sure that the voltage selector is set
for the voltage in your area.
* Name Plate Location
The CLP-134 name plate is located on the bottom panel.

Connectors
Tone Generator
@ HEADPHONES Jacks (Bottom Panel)
These jacks are intended for use with an external tone generator module
such as the Yamaha DOM-30 Disk Orchestra Module. The stereo outputs
from the external tone generator module are connected to the OPTIONAL
IN L and R jacks, allowing the sound of the tone generator to be reproduced
via the Clavinova’s internal sound system and speakers.
The AUX OUT R and L/L+R jacks deliver the output of the Clavinova
for connection to an instrument amplifier, mixing console, PA system, or
recording equipment. If you will be connecting the Clavinova to a monaural
sound system, use only the L/L+R jack. When a plug is inserted into the L/
L+R jack only, the left- and right-channel signals are combined and deliv-
ered via the L/L+R jack so you don’t lose any of the Clavinova’s sound.
The internal Amplifier & Speaker System
The CLP-134 features a powerful stereo amplifier delivering 50 watts per channel,
driving a bass-reflex speaker system that puts out exceptionally rich sound with
natural response from powerful lows to shimmering highs. The speaker system
includes two 16-centimeter speaker units, two 10-centimeter units, and two 5-
centimeters speaker units.
Note: The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the OPTIONAL IN jacks,
either directly or through external equipment.
The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI de-
vice (such as the DRC-20 Disk Recorder, or DOM-30 Disk Orchestra Mod-
ule) which can be used 10 control the Clavinova. The MIDI THRU connec-
tor re-transmits any data received at the MIDI IN connector, allowing
“chaining” of several MIDI instruments or other devices. The MIDI OUT
connector transmits MIDI data generated by the Clavinova (e.g. note and
velocity data produced by playing the Clavinova keyboard).
More details on MIDI are given in “MIDI FUNCTIONS” on page 16.
Two pairs of standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged in here
for private practice or late-night playing. The internal speaker system is
automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into either of
the HEADPHONES jacks.

[4 Play All CLP-134 voices have 32-note polyphony, which means you can play
up to 32 notes at once. The Clavinova also offers keyboard touch response,
so the volume and timbre of notes played can be controlled according to
how “hard” you play the keys. The amount of variation available depends
MU vr on the selected voice.
* The total number of notes that can be played simultaneously is reduced from 32
to 16 when the DUAL play mode is used. See page 9 for information on the
DUAL play mode.

The Dual Mode
The DUAL mode makes it possible to play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the key-
board. To activate the DUAL mode simply press two voice selectors at the same time (or press one voice
selector while holding another). The voice indicators of both selected voices will light when the DUAL mode
is active. To return to the normal single-voice play mode, press any single voice selector.

The volume levels of the two voices combined in the DUAL mode are
normally set automatically to produce a pleasing balance (see “Default Set-
tings” below). The balance can be adjusted manually by using the C2
through C4 keys on the keyboard while pressing the two voice selectors cor-
responding to the voices to be combined in the DUAL mode.
The C3 key produces equal (50:50) balance between the two voices, while
keys to the left of C3 increase the volume of the left voice in relation to the
right voice, and keys to the right of C3 increase the volume of the right voice
in relation to the left voice. By “left” and “right” voice we refer to the rela-
tive positions of the voice sclectors — i.e. in a STRINGS/ORGAN combina-
tion STRINGS is the left voice and ORGAN is the right voice.
Depending on which voices you combinc using the DUAL mode, the com-
bination may sound better if onc of the voices is shifted up an octave. To
shift the right voice, press the CS kcy while pressing the two voice selectors
corresponding to the voices to be combined in the DUAL mode. Press C5
again to shift the voice back to its normal range. Use the C1 key in the same
way to shift the left voice.
Default octave settings are provided for all voice combinations, as listed in
the “Default Settings" chart, below.
In a DUAL mode voice combination using STRINGS and any other voice,
it is possible to switch the STRINGS voice to a slow-attack variation when
initially selecting the voices by pressing the [STRINGS] selector twice while
holding the other voice selector.
Press the C7 key while holding any two voice selectors to memorize all
balance, STRINGS voice attack variation, and octave shift settings made
since the power was turned on. The memorized settings will be retained in
memory for about one weck after the power is turned off, then the default
settings will be restored. To keep the memorized settings for longer periods,
turn the power on briefly at least once a week.
If these settings arc not memorized as described above, they are retained in
memory only until the Clavinova is turned off.

== The Pedal
The CLP-134 has three foot pedals that produce a range of expressive effects similar to
those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.
@
Soft
(Left)
Pedal
Pressing
the
soft
pedal
reduces
the
volume
and
slightly
changes
the
timbre
of
notes
played.
The soft pedal actually functions in cight levels, depending on how hard it is pressed.
@
Sostenuto
(Center)
If
you
play
a
note
or
chord
on
the
keyboard
and
press
the
sostenuto
pedal
while
the
note(s)
Pedal
are
held,
those
notes
will
be
sustained
as
long
as
the
pedal
is
held
(as
if
the
damper
pedal
had
been pressed)
but all
subsequently
played
notes
will not be
sustained.
This makes
it
possible to
sustain
a chord, for example,
while
other
notes
are playcd
“staccato.”
@
Damper
(Right)
The
damper
pedal
functions
in
the
same
way
as
a
damper
pedal
on
an
acoustic
piano.
When
Pedal
the
damper
pedal
is
pressed
notes
played
have
a
long
sustain.
When
a
piano
voice
is
selected
the
damper
pedal
also produces
a special
“resonance”
that
simulates
the
ring of
the
strings
and
the
sound
board
of
an
acoustic
piano.
Releasing
the pedal immediately
stops (damps)
any
sus-
tained
notes. The
CLP-134
damper
pedal
additionally
features
continuous
damping.
This al-

way.

Touch Sensitivity
@ Memorizing the Touch Sen-
The [TOUCH SENSITIVITY] button selects three different types of keyboard touch sensi-
tivity — HARD, MEDIUM or SOFT — to match different playing styles and preferences.
To select a touch sensitivity setting press the [TOUCH SENSITIVITY] button a few times
until the indicator corresponding to the desired setting lights (the indicators light in se-
quence each time the [TOUCH SENSITIVITY] button is pressed).
HARD
The HARD setting requires the keys to be played quite hard to produce maximum loudness.
MEDIUM .... The MEDIUM setting produces a fairly “standard” keyboard response. This is the initial factory

Transposition
The SOFT setting allows maximum loudness to be produced with relatively light key pressure.
Press the C7 key while holding the [TOUCH SENSITIVITY ] button to
memorize the current touch sensitivity setting. The memorized setting will
be retaincd in memory for about one week after the power is turned off,
then the default setting will be restored. To keep the memorized setting for
longer periods, turn the power on briefly at least once a weck.
If this settings is not memorized as described above, it is retained in
memory only until the Clavinova is turned off.
The Clavinova’s TRANSPOSE function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire key-
board up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of six semitones. “Transposing” the
pitch of the Clavinova keyboard facilitates playing in difficult key signatures, and you can easily
match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instrumentalist.
The [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button and keys F#2 through F#3 on the keyboard are used for transposition.

* Pressing the C3 key produces normal keyboard pitch. Pressing the key to
the left of C3 (B2) transposes the pitch of the keyboard down a semitone,
the next key to the left (Bb2) transposes down a whole tone (Lwo semi-
tones), etc., down to the F#2 key which transposes down 6 semitones.
Upward transposition is accomplished in the same way using the keys to
the right of C3, up to F#3 which transposes up 6 semitones.

Pitch Control
Pitch control makes it possible to tune the Clavinova over a +50-cent range in approximately
1.2-cent intervals. A hundred “cents” equals one semitone, so the tuning range provided allows
fine tuning of overall pitch over a range of approximately a semitone. Pitch control is useful for
tuning the Clavinova to match other instruments or recorded music.
@ Tuning Up To tune up (raise pitch), hold the A-1 and B-1 keys simultaneously.
AE) 5 Press any key between C3 and B3. Each time a key in this range is
rum pressed the pitch is increased by approximately 1.2 cents, up to a maxi-

Individual Key Tuning
When used in ensemble with other keyboards and particularly acoustic pianos, however, slight
tuning discrepancies can arise. The CLP-134 is equipped with an individual key tuning features that
allows such differences to be accurately compensated for. The individual key tuning feature also
makes it possible to tune the CLP-134 to completely different standards, if required. The pitch of
each key can be raised or lowered by a maximum of 50 cents from the standard pitch.

MIDI Functions
@ A Brief Introduction to MIDI MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a world-standard com-
mio our | Yun: IN
munication interface that allows MIDI-compatible musical instruments and
equipment to share musical information and control one another. This
MIDI Cable makes it possible to create “systems” of MIDI instruments and equipment
that offer far greater versatility and control than is available with isolated
|
instruments. For example, most MIDI keyboards (including the Clavinova,
DOM-30
of
course)
transmit
note
and
velocity
(touch
response)
information
via the
0717 1777777 MIDI OUT connector whenever a note is played on the keyboard. If the
Clavinova `
Clavinova -
MIDI OUT connector is connected to the MIDI IN connector of a second
keyboard (synthesizer, etc.) or a tone generator (essentially a synthesizer
with no keyboard), the second keyboard or tone generator will respond
precisely to notes played on the original transmitting keyboard. The result is
that you can effectively play two instruments at once, providing thick multi-
instrument sounds.
Data Being Recorded
This same type of musical information transfer is used for MIDI se-
quence recording. A sequence recorder such as the Yamaha DRC-20 Disk
MIDI
IN
Recorder
can
be
used
to
“record”
MIDI
data
received
from
a
Clavinova,
for
example. When the recorded data is played back, the Clavinova automati-
J cally “plays” the recorded performance in precise detail.
Playback Data
The examples given above really only scratch the surface. MIDI can do
much, much more. The CLP-134 offers a number of MIDI functions that
allows it to be used in fairly sophisticated MIDI systems.
Note: Always use a high-quality MIDI cable to connect MIDI OUT to MIDI IN termi-
nals. Never use MIDI cables longer than about 15 feet, since cables longer than
this can pick up noise which can cause data errors. |

The MIDI system allows transmission and reception of MIDI data on 16
different channels. Multiple channels have been implemented to allow se-
lective control of certain instruments or devices connected in series. For
example, a single MIDI sequence recorder could be used to “play” two
different instruments or tone generators. One of the instruments or tone
generators could be set to receive only on channel 1, while the other is set
to receive on channel 2. In this situation the first instrument or tone genera-
tor will respond only to channel-1 information transmitted by the sequence
recorder, while the second instrument or tone generator will respond only to
channel-2 information. This allows the sequence recorder to “play” two
completely different parts on the receiving instruments or tone generators.
In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and
receiving equipment must be matched for proper data transfer. An “OMNI”
receive mode is also available, which allows reception on all 16 MIDI chan-
nels. In the OMNI mode it is not necessary to match the receive channcl of
the receiving device to the transmit channel of the transmitting device (ex-
cept when receiving mode messages).
Setting the Clavinova MIDI Channels
Press and hold the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
Press the key on the keyboard corresponding to the desired MIDI trans-
mit or receive channel.*
Release the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
* Keys C1 through D#2 on the keyboard are used to set the MIDI transmit
channel, and keys C4 through D#5 are used to turn the OMNI mode OFF
and set the MIDI receive channel as shown in the illustration to the left.
The E5 key sets the OMNI receive mode and basic receive channel 1.
Note: When the power is initially turned ON, MIDI receive is set to the OMNI mode
and the transmit channel is set to 1.
This function allows the MIDI note data transmitted by the Clavinova to
be transposed up or down in semitone increments by up to plus or minus 6
semitones. The pitch of the Clavinova itself is not affected.
Setting the MIDI Transpose Function
Press and hold the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
Press the key on the keyboard corresponding to the desired amount of
transposition.*
Release the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
* Keys F#5 through F#6 on the keyboard are used to set the MIDI transmit
transpose function as shown in the illustration to the left.
Note: When the power is turned ON, MIDI transmit transpose is set to 0 (no trans-
position).

@ Local Control ON/OFF
“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the Clavinova keyboard controls its internal tone generator,
allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard. This situation is “Local Control ON” since
the internal tone generator is controlled locally by its own keyboard.
Local control can be turned OFF, however, so that the Clavinova keyboard does not play the internal voices,
but the appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector when notes are played on
the keyboard. At the same time, the internal tone generator responds to MIDI information received via the MIDI
IN connector.
When using the DOM-30 Disk Orchestra Module with the Clavinova, for example, Local Control should be
turned OFF when recording using the DOM-30 voices only, and ON when recording the Clavinova voices while
listening to playback of the DOM-30 voices.

Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI program change numbers received from an external keyboard
or other MIDI device, causing the correspondingly numbered Clavinova voice to be selected. The Clavinova
will normally also send a MIDI program change number whenever one of its voices is selected, causing the cor-
respondingly numbered voice or program to be selected on the external MIDI device if the device is set up to
receive and respond to MIDI program change numbers.
This function makes it possible to cancel program change number reception and transmission so that voices
can be selected on the Clavinova without affecting the external MIDI device, and vice versa.
