1. Avoid Humidity & Heat

Avoid placing the Clavinova in areas that are subject to exces-

sive humidity or heat. Do not leave the instrument near heaters

or in a car exposed to direct sunlight, for example.

2. Avoid Dust & Moisture

Avoid locations in which the instrument is likely to be exposed

to excessive dust or moisture.

3. Power-off Before Connecting

Connections between the Clavinova and any other device must

be made with both pieces of equipment turned off.

4. Handle With Care

Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors or

other parts of your Clavinova, and avoid scratching or bumping

it with hard objects. Further, always turn the POWER switch off

after use, and close the key cover to protect the keyboard.

5. Clean Carefully

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.

6. Never Tamper With the Internal Circuitry

Never open the Clavinova cabinet and touch or tamper with the

internal circuitry. Tampering with the circuitry can result in elec-

trical shock!

7. Electric Interference

Since the Clavinova contains digital circuitry, it may cause

interference if placed too close to radio or television receivers.

If this occurs, move the instrument further away from the af-

fected equipment.

8. Name Plate Location

The Clavinova name plate, including the unit’s serial number, is

located on the bottom panel of the main unit.

9. Handling Floppy Disks

Yamaha Disk Orchestra Collection and Style Disk are write-

protected, and therefore cannot be used to save songs. To save

Performance Memory songs from the Performance Memory, a

blank floppy disk should be used (one blank disk is supplied

with the Clavinova).

Taking Care of Your Floppy Disks

■ Do NOT eject the disk during recording or playback, or at

any time when the disk drive lamp is lit. Doing so may dam-

age both the disk and the FDD.

■ Do NOT turn the Clavinova on or off while the disk is in the

drive.

■ Always eject the disk before turning the Clavinova off.

■ When ejecting a floppy disk from the disk drive:

Your Clavinova will give you years of playing pleasure if you observe the simple rules given below:

nism and/or the floppy disk. To remove a partially ejected

disk, try pressing the eject button once again or push the

disk back into the slot, then repeat the eject procedure

carefully.

■ Never open or close the key cover while a disk is

extending from the drive (i.e. in the ejected position).

The key cover may contact the disk, possibly damag-

ing the disk or even the disk drive.

■ Do not insert anything but floppy disks into the disk

drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk

drive or floppy disk.

■ Use only double-sided double density (2DD) 3.5-inch

floppy disks with the Clavinova.

Taking Care of Your Clavinova

• To eject a floppy disk, press the eject button slowly as far as it will go.

Then when the disk Is fully ejected, remove it by hand.

• The disk may not be ejected properly if the eject button is pressed too

quickly or if it is not pressed in far enough. (The eject button may

become stuck halfway with the disk extending from the slot by only a

few millimeters). If this is the case, do not attempt to pull out the

partially ejected disk. Doing so may damage the disk drive mecha-

Precautions Regarding Floppy Disk Use

■ Never open the disk’s shutter. Dirt or dust on the

Internal magnetic surface will cause data errors.

■ Never leave disks near a speaker, TV, or other de-

vice that emits a strong magnetic field.

■ Do not store disks in places exposed to direct sun-

light or sources of high temperature.

■ Do not place heavy objects such as books on top of

a disk.

■ Avoid getting the disks wet.

■ Be sure to store the disks in environmental condi-

tions as specified below:

• Storage temperature: 4

to 53

C (39

to 127

F).

• Storage humidity: 8 to 90% relative humidity.

• Store in an area free from dust, sand, smoke, etc.

■ Be sure to apply the disk label at the proper position.

When changing the label never cover the old label

with a new label; always remove the old label first.

Head Cleaning

The head of the disk drive unit will get dirty as you use

it eventually causing data errors. If this occurs, clean

the head with a 3.5 inch head cleaning disk (available

from most computer supply stores).

Data Backup

It is recommended that you copy your recorded songs

to another disk for backup (see page 46). If the original

disk is damaged or your song is deleted, the backup

disk can be used instead of the original.

■The Music Stand

If you will be using sheet music with your Clavinova, raise the music stand

built into it’s top panel by lifting the rear edge of the music stand.

The music stand can be lowered by slightly lifting the stand and then lowering

it gently back down to its resting position.

■The Power Switch

After making sure that the Clavinova’s AC plug is properly inserted into a con-

venient AC wall outlet, press the [POWER] switch located to the left of the key-

board once to turn the power on. The power indicator located below the left end of

the keyaboard will light. Press the [POWER] switch again to turn the power off.

When the power is initially turned on, the PIANO voice selector LED will

light, the POP style selector LED will light, and the display will appear as shown

to the left.

■Headphones

One or two standard pairs of stereo headphones can be plugged in here for pri-

vate practice or late-night playing. The internal speaker system is automatically

shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into either or both of the PHONES

jacks.

■The Key Cover

To open the CVP-89 key cover lift it just enough to clear the keys (do not lift

excessively) then slide the cover back into the main unit. To close the cover slide it

forward all the way and then lower it gently until it closes completely.

The Clavinova has several volume controls that

give you extra versatility in creating the required

sound.

The Volume Controls

● Master Volume ........................................................................................................................................

The MASTER VOLUME control adjusts the overall volume of sound

produced by the Clavinova. It also adjusts headphone volume when one or two

pairs of headphones are plugged into the PHONES jacks.

Initially set the MASTER VOLUME control about half way between the

“MIN” and “MAX” settings. Then, when you start playing, adjust the control for

the most comfortable listening level.

● Auto Accompaniment ............................................................................................................................

Separate volume controls are provided for the RHYTHM, CHORD 1,

CHORD 2, and BASS sound. These volume controls let you set up the best

balance between the various accompaniment parts when the AUTO BASS

CHORD (ABC), Disk Orchestra Collection playback, and Performance Memory

features are used, and the RHYTHM volume control can be used to balance the

keyboard and rhythm sound when only rhythm accompaniment is used.

The volume of the keyboard can be independently adjusted (1 … 127) by using

the BASS control while holding the [UTILITY] button — this is particularly

handy for adjusting the balance when recording the Clavinova sound.

● Other Volume Control Modes

The Auto Accompaniment volume controls can be assigned to other functions

via the “Accompaniment Volume Mode” utility function (page 61). They can be

used to control modulation, pitch bend, and expression; or individual reverb

depth for the rhythm, chord 1, chord 2, and bass parts.

NOTES

• If any or all of the Auto Accompaniment volume controls are set to their minimum

positions, no sound will be produced by the corresponding parts. The maximum

control positions produce the normal volume levels.

● Expression Control ................................................................................................................................

An optional Yamaha EP-1 Expression Pedal can be plugged into the EXP

PEDAL jack for foot volume (expression) control of the keyboard sound only (i.e.

expression doesn’t affect the auto-accompaniment sound or disk playback). Press

the pedal forward to increase volume, and backward to decrease volume.

The CVP-89 features a powerful “3D System” amplifier featuring a single 50-watt channel

and stereo 25-watt channels. This high-performance amplifier and speaker system puts out

exceptionally rich sound with natural response from powerful lows to shimmering highs. The

CVP-89 speaker system employs a single 18-cm speaker for center-channel low-frequency

reproduction, and three speakers each per stereo channel: 13-centimeter speaker units for

midrange sound, 2.5-cm units for outstanding high-frequency sound, and 8-cm units for

player monitoring.

When the [DRUMS] voice selector is pressed (its indicator will light), you can

play 44 different drum and percussion instruments on the keyboard. The symbols

above the keys correspond to the NORMAL drum kit instruments (keys with no

symbols produce no sound).

NOTES

• The CVP-89 has two drum kits — “NORMAL” and “PROCESSED”. Which of

these kits will sound when Keyboard Percussion is engaged depends on the

currently selected accompaniment style. Some styles which use the “NORMAL”

kit, however, include instruments from the “PROCESSED” kit, and vice-versa.

• The accompaniment styles listed below use the “PROCESSED” drum kit while all

others use the “NORMAL” kit.

• See page ix for a list of the NORMAL and PROCESSED drum kit instrument

• The TRANSPOSE and PITCH functions described on pages 43 and 16 do not

affect the DRUMS sound.

• Drum parameters individually programmable for each instrument are accessible

via the UTILITY mode — page 63.

Dual Mode

The DUAL mode makes it possible to play two voices simultaneously across the entire range

of the keyboard. This makes it easy to create exceptionally rich, thick tonal textures.

■Engaging the Dual Mode

Dual mode voice combinations can be broadly divided into three categories: panel voice + panel voice, panel voice +

voice number 13-60, and two voices in the 13-60 range. The dual mode for each combination is selected in a different way,

as described below:

VOICE

● Panel Voice + Panel Voice .....................................................................................................................

To combine two panel voices simply press two voice selectors at the same time

— or press one voice selector while holding another. The names of both selected

voices will appear on the display when the DUAL mode is active. To return to the

normal single-voice play mode, press any single voice selector.

● Panel Voice + 13-60 Voice .....................................................................................................................

A voice in the 13…60 range can be “dualed” with the panel voices by pressing

the [VOICE 13-60] button and any other voice selector at the same time. The

VOICE [▲] and [▼] buttons can then be used to select the desired 13…60 voice.

The names of both selected voices will appear on the display (the 13-60 voice name

will appear on right side of the display). To return to the normal single-voice play

mode, press any single voice selector.

● Two 13-60 Voices....................................................................................................................................

To combine two voices in the 13-60 range press the [DRUMS] button and the

[VOICE 13-60] button at the same time (the default combination is POP BRASS

and BRASS). The voice shown on the right of the display can then be selected by

using the VOICE [▲] and [▼] button, while the left voice can be selected by using

the VOICE [▲] and [▼] buttons while holding the [DRUMS] and [VOICE 13-60]

buttons. To return to the normal single-voice play mode, press any single voice

selector.

■Dual-mode Voice Balance

The volume balance between the two voices combined in the DUAL mode can

be adjusted by using the TEMPO [▲] and [▼] buttons while pressing both of the

active voice selectors. The selected balance value (1 … 15) will be shown on the

display until the voice selectors are released.

■ A setting of “1” sets the volume of the left voice on the display to maximum

and the right voice to minimum (no sound).

■ A setting of “8” sets both voices to the same volume (this is the default balance

setting, and can be recalled by pressing the TEMPO [▲] and [▼] buttons si-

multaneously).

■ A setting of “15” sets the volume of the right voice on the display to maximum

and the left voice to minimum (no sound).

NOTES

• Hold either the TEMPO [

] or [

] button for continuous scrolling in the specified

direction.

• The dual mode cannot be used with the DRUMS voice. Also, the dual and split

modes cannot be used at the same time.

The split mode lets you play different voices with

the left and right hands — bass with the left and pi-

ano with the right, for example. You can assign any

of the Clavinova’s voices to the left and right-hand

sections of the keyboard.

Split Mode

■Engaging the Split Mode

When the [SPLIT] button is pressed and its indicator lights, the keyboard is

split into left- and right-hand sections and different voices can be assigned to each.

The split point is initially set at the F#2 key when the power is turned on, and the

UPRIGHT BASS voice is initially assigned to the left-hand section of the keyboard

(all keys up to and including F#2). The voice that was selected when the SPLIT

mode was engaged is assigned to the right-hand section of the keyboard. The cur-

rent settings are retained if the SPLIT mode is turned off (press the [SPLIT] button

again) and on while the power remains on. The names of both the left and right-

hand voices appear on the display while the SPLIT mode is active.

Digital Reverb Effects

The [REVERB] button provides a number of

digital effects that you can use for extra depth

and expressive power.

■Selecting a Reverb Effect

Each time the [TAP] or [METRONOME] button is pressed while the

[REVERB] button is held, the next reverb effect is selected. The currently selected

reverb effect and the reverb depth setting appear on the display while the

[REVERB] button is held. The reverb effect can also be selected by repeatedly

pressing the [REVERB] button while the reverb type remains on the display.

OFF

No effect is produced.

ROOM

This setting adds a reverb effect to the sound that is similar to the type of acous-

tic reverberation you would hear in a medium-size room.

HALL 1

For a more spacious reverb sound, use the HALL 1 setting. This effect simulates

the natural reverberation of a medium-size concert hall.

HALL 2

HALL 2 simulates the reverb of a very large concert hall.

COSMIC

“COSMIC” is an echo effect in which the sound seems to “bounce” around in

the stereo sound field.

NOTES

• The ROOM effect is automatically selected when the POWER switch is turned

on.

The Keyboard & Polyphony

The Clavinova has “32-note polyphony” which means you can normally play up to 32 notes at once.

This number varies, however, according to the functions being used, as shown in the chart below:

Keyboard only 32 notes.

Keyboard + rhythm 24 notes (rhythm uses 8).

Keyboard + ABC 12 notes (rhythm 8; ABC 12).

The following voices are STEREO:

• No.1 PIANO

• No.8 ORGAN

• No.28 FULL ORGAN

• No.34 PIANO BRIGHT

• No.35 PIANO SOFT

The following voices feature VELOCITY SWITCHING

(i.e. they sound different when played soft or loud).

• No.3 E.PIANO

• No.11 ELEC BASS

● The number of available notes is further reduced if the dual

mode, the performance memory, or a Disk Orchestra Collec-

tion disk is being played at the same time.

The Clavinova also offers keyboard touch response, so the

volume and timbre of notes played can be controlled accord-

ing to how “hard” you play the keys. The amount of variation

available depends on the selected voice.

NOTES

• Some voices have greater polyphony than shown in the above chart.

Further, some dual-mode and split-mode voice combinations provide 64-

note total polyphony (32 notes per voice).

Pan

● The pan (stereo) position of the voice played on the key-

board can be adjusted by moving the RHYTHM volume

control while holding the [UTILITY] button. The pan

position is shown on the display, from “LEFT 6” for full

left at the “MIN” control position, through “CENTER” for

center, to “RIGHT 6” for full right at the “MAX” control

position. This can be used to produce a broader ensemble

sound with the Performance Memory multitrack recording

feature.

Each voice has a preset pan setting (indicated by “KEY-

BOARD” on the display) which is automatically set when

the power is first turned on.

The pan settings are as follows:

NOTES

• The “KEYBOARD” default keyboard scale pan places the treble-regis-

ter sound to the right and the bass-register sound to the left. Using a

different PAN setting places the entire voice, low and high notes in-

cluded, at the same position.

• The DRUMS voice has a preset PAN setting which cannot be changed.

■Center Pedal (Sostenuto Pedal)

If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while the note(s) 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 played “staccato.”

■Right Pedal (Damper Pedal)

The damper pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the damper pedal is

pressed notes played have a long sustain. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes.

NOTES

• The damper pedal can be set for continuous or on/off type damping control via

the “Damper Pedal Mode” utility function (page 62). Continuous control is th

default setting.

• The damper pedal can also be used to increase the depth of a unique

“Soundboard” effect for the PIANO voice (voice number 1). The maximum depth

of the Soundboard effect can be set via the “Damper Pedal Mode” utility function

(page 62).

Pressing the soft pedal subtly reduces the volume and slightly changes the tim-

bre of notes played. The amount of “softness” corresponds to how deeply the pedal

is pressed. The SOFT function is automatically selected whenever the POWER

switch is turned on.

LEFT PEDAL FUNCTION

PITCH BEND

When this function is selected the center and left pedals can be used to bend the

pitch of notes played on the keyboard up or down, respectively, while the center or

left pedal is held. The default pitch bend range is individually set for each voice.

The pitch bend range can be adjusted as required via the “Pitch Bend Range” utility

function (page 62).

section, page 20.

Pitch control makes it possible to tune the Clavinova over a ±50-cent range (approximate) in

approximately 1.2-cent or 1-hertz 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.

Pitch Control

● Tuning Up................................................................................................................................................

ZTo tune up (raise pitch), hold the A-1 and B-1 keys simultaneously (A-1 and B-

1 are the two lowest white keys on the keyboard) and press any key between C3

and B3. Each time a key in this range is pressed the pitch is raised by approxi-

mately 1.2 cents, up to a maximum of about 50 cents above standard pitch. To

raise the pitch in 1-hertz increments press the TEMPO [▲] button instead of

the C3-B3 keys. The TEMPO [▼] button can also be used to tune down while

the A-1 and B-1 keys are held.

XRelease the A-1 and B-1 keys.

● Tuning Down...........................................................................................................................................

ZTo tune down (lower pitch), hold the A-1 and A#-1 keys simultaneously and

press any key between C3 and B3. Each time a key in this range is pressed the

pitch is lowered by approximately 1.2 cents, up to a maximum of about 50 cents

below standard pitch. To lower the pitch in 1-hertz increments press the

TEMPO [▼] button instead of the C3-B3 keys. The TEMPO [▲] button can

also be used to tune up while the A-1 and A#-1 keys are held.

XRelease the A-1 and A#-1 keys.
