Reverb
The [REVERB] button selects a number of digital reverb effects that you can use for
extra depth and expressive power.
To select a reverb type press the [REVERB] button a few times until the indicator
corresponding to the desired type lights (the indicators light in sequence each time the
[REVERB] button is pressed). No reverb is produced when all indicators are off.
OFF ............
When no reverb effect is selected (no REVERB indicator is lit), a special natural
damper effect is applied to the piano voices. This simulates the natural resonance of
an acoustic piano’s strings and sound board when the damper pedal is pressed.
ROOM ........
This setting add a continuous reverb effect to the sound that is similar to the type of
acoustic reverberation you would hear in a medium-size room.
HALL 1 ......
For a “bigger” reverb sound, use the HALL 1 setting. This effect simulates the natu-
ral reverberation of a medium-size concert hall.
HALL 2 ......
For a really spacious reverb sound, use the HALL 2 setting. This effect simulates the
natural reverberation of a large concert hall.
COSMIC ....
The COSMIC reverb effect produces an echo-plus-reverb sound that can add life and
animation to your music.
Press the C7 key while holding the [REVERB] button to memorize the
current effect type and all depth settings made since the power was turned
on. The memorized settings will be retained in memory for about one week
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 are not memorized as described above, they are retained
in memory only until the Clavinova is turned off.

The depth of the selected reverb effect can be adjusted for the current
voice (separate settings can be made for each voice and reverb type) by
using the C2 through C4 keys on the keyboard or the TEMPO [
s
] and [
t
]
buttons while holding the [REVERB] button. The selected reverb depth
value (0 … 15) will be shown on the TEMPO display until the [REVERB]
button is released. The default reverb depth settings are given in the “De-
fault Settings” chart below.
When using the keyboard, the C3 keys sets the “normal” depth (a setting
of “8”). Keys to the left of C3 decrease the reverb depth, and keys to the
right of C3 increase the reverb depth.
When using the TEMPO buttons the first time either button is pressed
the current depth setting appears on the TEMPO display, then pressing the
[
