Yamaha Clavinova CLP-810S User manual

IMPORTANT
Check your power supply
Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage
specified on the name plate on the bottom panel. In some areas a
voltage selector may be provided on the bottom panel of the main
keyboard unit near the power cord. Make sure that the voltage selec-
tor is set for the voltage in your area. The voltage selector is set at
240V when the unit is initially shipped. To change the setting use a
“minus” screwdriver to rotate the selector dial so that the correct volt-
age appears next to the pointer on the panel.

Transposition
ZSimultaneously press and hold the A-1 and C#0keys.
XPress any key between F#2and F#3according to the desired
amount of transposition.*
CRelease the A-1 and C#0keys.
The A-1 and C#0keys plus keys F#2through F#3on the keyboard are used for transposition.
The Clavinova’s TRANSPOSE function makes it possible to shift the pitch of
the entire keyboard 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.
* 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 (two semitones), etc., down to the F#2key which
transposes down 6 semitones. Upward transposition is accom-
plished in the same way using the keys to the right of C3, up to F#3
which transposes up 6 semitones.

Data Being Recorded
Playback Data
MIDI IN MIDI INMIDI OUTMIDI OUT
MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a world-
standard communication interface that allows MIDI-compatible
musical instruments and equipment to share musical information
and control one another. This makes it possible to create “systems”
of MIDI instruments and equipment that offer far greater versatil-
ity and control than is available with isolated instruments. For
example, most MIDI keyboards (including the Clavinova, of
course) transmit note and velocity (touch response) information
via the MIDI OUT connector whenever a note is played on the
keyboard. If the 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.
This same type of musical information transfer is used for
MIDI sequence recording. A sequence recorder can be used to
“record” MIDI data received from a Clavinova, for example.
When the recorded data is played back, the Clavinova automati-
cally “plays” the recorded performance in precise detail.
The examples given above really only scratch the surface.
MIDI can do much, much more. The CLP-810S 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 terminals. 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 selective 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 generator 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 informa-
tion. 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
“ALL” receive mode is also available, which allows reception on all 16
MIDI channels.

shown in the illustration below. The E5 key sets the receive mode to “ALL”.
NOTE
• When the power is initially turned ON, MIDI receive is set to theALL
mode and the transmit channel is set to 1.
MIDI Functions
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 DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit with the Clavinova, for example,
Local Control should be turned OFF when recording using the DOU-10 voices only,
and ON when recording the Clavinova voices while listening to playback of the DOU-
10 voices.
ZSimultaneously press and hold the A-1 and C#0keys.
XPress the C6 key to switch the Local Control between OFF and ON.
CRelease the A-1 and C#0keys.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter what appears to be a malfunction, please check the follow-
ing points before assuming that your Clavinova is faulty.
1.No Sound When the Power is Turned ON
Is the AC plug properly connected to the Clavinova and an AC wall outlet? Check theAC connection
carefully. Is the MASTER VOLUME control turned up to a reasonable listening level?
Also make sure that a pair of headphones is not plugged into the PHONES jack, and the Local Control
(page 13) is ON.
2.The Damper Pedal Doesn’t Work
If the damper pedal doesn’t work, or notes are sustained even when the pedal is not pressed, make sure
that the pedal cord is properly plugged into the main unit (page 22).
3.The Clavinova Reproduces Radio or TV Sound
This can occur if there is a high-power transmitter in your vicinity. Contact your Yamaha dealer.
4.Intermittent Static Noise
This is usually due to turning ON or OFF a household appliance or other electronic equipment which is
fed by the same AC mains line as your Clavinova.
5.Interference Appears On Radio or TV Sets Located Near the Clavinova
The Clavinova contains digital circuitry which can generate radio-frequency noise. The solution is to
move the Clavinova further away from the affected equipment, or vice versa.

• When a voice bank MSB/LSB is received, the number is stored in
the internal buffer regardless of the received order, then the stored
value is used to select the appropriate voice when a program
change message is received.
• The Multi-timbre and Poly modes are always active. No change
occurs when OMNI ON, OMNI OFF, MONO, or POLY mode mes-
sages are received.

[FEH]
• Transmitted every 200 milliseconds.
• If a signal is not received via MIDI for more than 400 milliseconds,
the same processing will take place for All Sound Off, All Notes Off
and Reset All Controllers as when those signals are received.
• Caution: If an error occurs during MIDI reception, the Damper and Soft
effects for all channels are turned off and an All Note Off occurs.
6. SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE MESSAGES

• Receipt of the XG SYSTEM ON message causes reinitialization of
relevant parameters and Control Change values. Allow sufficient
time for processing to execute (about 50 msec) before sending the
Clavinova another message.
• XG Native Parameter Change message may contain two or four
bytes of parameter data (depending on the parameter size).
• For information about the Address and Byte Count values, refer to
Table 1 below. Note that the table’s Total Size value gives the size of
a bulk block. Only the top address of the block (00H, 00H, 00H) is
valid as a bulk data address.
