In the MIDI split mode one section of the Clavinova keyboard is used to play a Clavinova voice in the normal
way, while the remaining section is used to play a second MIDI keyboard or tone generator such as the Yamaha
DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit. In this mode the right-hand section of the keyboard is used to play an internal
Clavinova voice, while the left-hand section of the keyboard plays the external keyboard or tone generator.
Playing the left-hand section of the keyboard produces no sound from the Clavinova. The “split point,” or the
key that divides the left- and right-hand sections of the keyboard can be set at any desired key.

The MIDI Split & Left Local OFF Mode
The MIDI split mode is useful if, for example, you want to play a piano
(Clavinova) voice with the right hand while playing a synthesizer bass line
or string section with the left hand.
When the MIDI split mode is activated, notes played on the left-hand
section are transmitted via the Clavinova MIDI OUT connector on MIDI
channel 2. Notes played on the right-hand section are transmitted on the
“basic channel” (i.e. the channel set using the MIDI channel selection func-
tion described previously).
Z
Press the [HARPSICHORD] voice selector while holding down the
[MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. The HARPSICHORD LED will flash.
X
While still holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button, press the key on
the keyboard at which you want to set the split point. The HARPSI-
CHORD LED will light continuously. The split-point becomes the first
key of the left-hand section.
C
Release the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
V
To return to the normal full-keyboard mode, hold the [MIDI/TRANS-
POSE] button and press the [HARPSICHORD] voice selector, then
release both buttons.
NOTE
• When the power is turned ON the default split point key — F
#
2 — will be
automatically selected. If a new split point is selected it remains active
until the power is turned OFF or a different split point is selected.

The MIDI Split & Right Local Off Mode
In the CLP-154S/155 either the right- or left-hand section of the keyboard can be assigned to control an exter-
nal keyboard or tone generator. Assigning the left-hand section to external tone generator control was described
in the previous section. To assign the right-hand section to external tone generator control while playing the
Clavinova voices with the left hand, press the [ORGAN] voice selector on the CLP-154S or the [VIBES] voice
selector on the CLP-155 instead of the [HARPSICHORD] voice selector when activating the Split mode (see
the preceding section). All other operations are exactly the same as described in the previous section.
