Selecting & Playing Voices
Selecting Voices
While holding down the [VOICE] button, press one of the C1–A1 keys to select and
start the corresponding voice.
Then, when you start playing, adjust the
[MASTER VOLUME]
control to the most com-
fortable listening level.
Using the Damper Pedal
You can connect the damper pedal to the Clavinova
(page 30).
The damper pedal functions in the same way as a
damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the
damper pedal is pressed, notes sustain longer.
Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any
sustained notes.
Procedure
TIP
To understand the characteris-
tics of various voices, listen to
demo songs for each voice
(page 15).
TERMINOLOGY
Voice:
On the Clavinova, a voice
means a “tone” or “tonal color.”
NOTE
Selecting a voice automatically
engages the best-suited reverb
type and depth (page 18) for
that particular voice.
