Introduction
Thank you for choosing a Yamaha CLP-123 Clavinova. Your Clavinova is a fine musical instru-
ment that employs advanced Yamaha music technology. With the proper care, your Clavinova
will give you many years of musical pleasure.
● Yamaha’s AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generator system offers rich, realistic voices. The
CLP-123 additionally features stereo sampling of its PIANO 1 voice for unmatched realism and ex-
pressive power.
● 16 and 32-note polyphony permit use of the most sophisticated playing techniques.
● Piano-like touch response — adjustable in 3 stages — provides extensive expressive control and out-
standing playability.
● Dual play mode allows 2 voices to be played simultaneously.
● Unique Clavinova Tone voice provides a fresh sound for new musical expression.
● Damper pedal includes natural resonance effect for the piano voices, simulating the string and sound-
board resonance of acoustic pianos.
● MIDI compatibility and a range of MIDI functions make the Clavinova useful in a range of advanced
MIDI music systems.
In order to make the most of your Clavinova’s performance potential and features, we urge you
to read this Owner’s Manual thoroughly, and keep it in a safe place for later reference.
Your Clavinova is a fine musical instrument, and deserves the most careful treatment.
Observe the following points and your Clavinova will sound and look great for many years.
1 Never open the case and touch or tamper with the inter-
nal circuitry.
2 Always turn the POWER switch OFF after use, and
close the key cover to protect the keyboard.
3 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.
4 Never place any vinyl products on your Clavinova. Con-
tact with vinyl can cause irreversible damage to the
finish.
5 Install your Clavinova in a place that is away from di-
rect sunlight, excessive humidity or heat.
6 Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors
or other parts of your Clavinova, and avoid scratching
or bumping it with hard objects.
7 Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the
voltage specified on the name plate.* In some areas a
voltage selector may be provided on the rear panel of
the main unit. Make sure that the voltage selector is set
for the voltage in your area.
* Name Plate Location
The CLP-123 name plate is located on the bottom panel.

The [MASTER VOLUME] control adjusts the vol-
ume (level) of sound produced by the Clavinova’s
internal stereo sound system. The [MASTER VOL-
UME] control also adjusts headphone volume when a
pair of headphones is plugged into the HEADPHONES
jack (page 6).
3 [BRILLIANCE] Button
This button can be used to change the tonality or “tim-
bre” of the selected voice. Three settings are provided:
MELLOW, NORMAL, and BRIGHT. To select one of
these settings, press the [BRILLIANCE] button a few
times until the indicator corresponding to the desired
setting lights. The NORMAL setting produces the
“normal” tone of the selected voice. The BRIGHT
setting creates a brighter or “sharper” tone, while the
MELLOW setting produces a “rounder” more mellow
tone.
4 [REVERB] Button
The [REVERB] button selects a number of digital
reverb effects that you can use for extra depth and
expressive power.
➪
See page 10 for details.
5 [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] Button
The [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button allows access to the
Clavinova’s TRANSPOSE function (to shift the pitch
of the entire keyboard up or down), keyboard touch
sensitivity adjustment, and MIDI functions. For details
refer to “TRANSPOSITION” on page 12, “TOUCH
SENSITIVITY” on page 12, and “MIDI FUNC-
TIONS” on page 14.
6 Voice Selectors
The CLP-123 has eight voice selectors. Simply press
any of the voice selectors to select the corresponding
voice. The LED indicator above the voice selector will
light to indicate which voice is currently selected.
The CLP-123 also has a DUAL mode in which two
voices can be played simultaneously across the full
range of the keyboard — see page 9 for details.
Note: The PIANO 1 voice is automatically selected when-
ever the [POWER] switch is initially turned ON.

Tone Generator
These jacks are intended for use with an external tone generator module such as
the Yamaha DOM-30 Disk Orchestra Module. The stereo outputs from the exter-
nal tone generator module are connected to the OPTIONAL IN L and R jacks,
allowing the sound of the tone generator to be reproduced via the Clavinova’s
internal sound system and speakers.
The AUX OUT R and L/L+R jacks deliver the output of the Clavinova for con-
nection to an instrument amplifier, mixing console, PA system, or recording equip-
ment. If you will be connecting the Clavinova to a monaural sound system, use
only the L/L+R jack. When a plug is inserted into the L/L+R jack only, the left-
and right-channel signals are combined and delivered via the L/L+R jack so you
don’t lose any of the Clavinova’s sound.
The Internal Amplifier & Speaker System
The CLP-123 features a high-performance stereo amplifier delivering 30 watts per chan-
nel, and an original Yamaha Active Servo Technology speaker system including two 13-
cm and two 5-cm speaker units.
Note: The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the OPTIONAL IN jacks, either
directly or through external equipment.
The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device (such
as the DRC-20 Disk Recorder, or DOM-30 Disk Orchestra Module) which can be
used to control the Clavinova. The MIDI THRU connector re-transmits any data
received at the MIDI IN connector, allowing “chaining” of several MIDI instru-
ments or other devices. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated
by the Clavinova (e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the Clavinova
keyboard).
More details on MIDI are given in “MIDI FUNCTIONS” on page 14.
Two pairs of standard pair 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 of the HEADPHONES
jacks.

ZTurn Power On
After making sure that the Clavinova’s AC plug is properly inserted into
a convenient AC wall outlet, press the [POWER] switch located to the left
of the keyboard to turn the power ON.
When the power is turned ON, the [PIANO 1] voice selector LED will
light (the PIANO 1 voice is automatically selected whenever the power is
turned ON).
Initially set the [MASTER VOLUME] control about half way between
the “MIN” and “MAX” settings. Then, when you start playing, re-adjust the
[MASTER VOLUME] control for the most comfortable listening level.
Select the desired voice by pressing one of the voice selectors.
The PIANO 2 voice has 32-note polyphony while all other voices have
16-note polyphony (refer to the polyphony chart, below), which means you
can play up to 32 or 16 notes at once. The Clavinova also offers keyboard
touch response, so the volume and timbre of notes played can be controlled
according to how “hard” you play the keys. The amount of variation avail-
able depends on the selected voice.
* The total number of notes that can be played simultaneously is reduced by half
when the DUAL play mode is used. See page 9 for information on the DUAL play
mode.
You can also change the overall tone or add reverb and/or effects as de-
sired by using the [REVERB] button, and the [BRILLIANCE] button (see
page 4 for [BRILLIANCE] button operation, “Reverb” on page 10).

Playing the Demonstration Tunes
The CLP-123 has 8 demo tunes that effectively demonstrate their sound capabilities.
Here’s how you can select and play the demo tunes.
Press the C7 key while holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. The
voice selectors will begin flashing in sequence to indicate that the demo
mode is engaged.
The demo tunes are selected via the voice selectors. Press a selector to
start playback of the corresponding tune, featuring the voice normally se-
lected by that voice selector button. The demo tunes will play in sequence
until stopped, starting with the selected tune. The voice selector indicator
will flash during demo playback.
Use the [MASTER VOLUME] control to adjust the volume, and play
along on the keyboard if you like.

The Dual Mode
The DUAL mode makes it possible to play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the key-
board. To activate the DUAL mode simply press two voice selectors at the same time (or press one voice
selector while holding another). The voice indicators of both selected voices will light when the DUAL mode
is active. To return to the normal single-voice play mode, press any single voice selector.
The volume levels of the two voices combined in the DUAL mode are
normally set automatically to produce a pleasing balance (see “Default Set-
tings” below). The balance can be adjusted manually by using the C2
through C4 keys on the keyboard while pressing the two voice selectors
corresponding to the voices to be combined in the DUAL mode.
The C3 key produces equal (50:50) balance between the two voices,
while keys to the left of C3 increase the volume of the left voice in relation
to the right voice, and keys to the right of C3 increase the volume of the
right voice in relation to the left voice. By “left” and “right” voice we refer
to the relative positions of the voice selectors — i.e. in a PIANO 2/
CLAVINOVA TONE combination PIANO 2 is the left voice and
CLAVINOVA TONE is the right voice.
Depending on which voices you combine using the DUAL mode, the
combination may sound better if one of the voices is shifted up an octave.
To shift the right voice, press the C5 key while pressing the two voice se-
lectors corresponding to the voices to be combined in the DUAL mode.
Press C5 again to shift the voice back to its normal range. Use the C1 key
in the same way to shift the left voice.
Default octave settings are provided for all voice combinations, as listed
in the “Default Settings” chart, below.
In a DUAL mode voice combination using STRINGS and any other
voice, it is possible to switch the STRINGS voice to a slow-attack variation
when initially selecting the voices by pressing the [STRINGS] selector
twice while holding the other voice selector.

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.
● Adjusting Reverb Depth
The depth of the selected reverb effect can be adjusted for the current
voice by using the C2 through C4 keys on the keyboard while holding the
[REVERB] button. The C3 key sets the “normal” depth for the selected
effect. Keys to the left of C3 decrease the reverb depth, while keys to the
right of the C3 key increase the reverb depth. Separate reverb settings can
be made for each effect and voice, and these settings are retained in
memory until the power is turned off. The depth of the natural damper ef-
fect is fixed.

The CLP-123 has three pedals that produce a range of expressive effects similar to those
produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.
The Pedals
Pressing the soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of
notes played.
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.”
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. When
no REVERB effect is selected and a piano voice is selected, the damper pedal also
produces a special “resonance” that simulates the ring of the strings and the sound
board of an acoustic piano. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any
sustained notes. The CLP-123 damper pedal additionally features continuous
damping. This allows you to create shorter effects by pressing the damper pedal
down only part of the way.

To select a touch sensitivity setting press the [REVERB] button a few
times while holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button until the indicator
corresponding to the desired setting lights.
Three different types of keyboard touch sensitivity — HARD, MEDIUM or SOFT — can
be selected to match different playing styles and preferences. The different touch sensitivity
settings are selected by using the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] and [REVERB] buttons.
HARD (ROOM indicator) ...........The HARD setting requires the keys to be played quite hard to
produce maximum loudness.
MEDIUM (HALL 1 indicator)......The MEDIUM setting produces a fairly “standard” keyboard
response. This is the initial factory default setting.
SOFT (HALL 2 indicator) ...........The SOFT setting allows maximum loudness to be produced
with relatively light key pressure.

MIDI/
TRANSPOSE
The [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button and keys F#2 through F#3 on the keyboard are used for transposition.
ZPress and hold the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
XPress a key between F#2 and F#3 according to the desired amount of
transposition.*
CRelease the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
* 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 semi-
tones), etc., down to the F#2 key which transposes down 6 semitones.
Upward transposition is accomplished in the same way using the keys to
the right of C3, up to F#3 which transposes up 6 semitones.
The Clavinova’s TRANSPOSE function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire key-
board 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.

ZTo tune down (lower pitch), hold the A-1 and A#-1 keys simultane-
ously.
XPress any key between C3 and B3. Each time a key in this range is
pressed the pitch is decreased by approximately 1.2 cents, up to a maxi-
mum of 50 cents below standard pitch.
CRelease the A-1 and A#-1 keys.
ZTo restore standard pitch (A3 = 440 Hz), hold the A-1, A#-1 and B-1
keys simultaneously.
XPress any key between C3 and B3.
CRelease the A-1, A#-1 and B-1 keys.
* Standard pitch (A3 = 440 Hz) is set when the [POWER] switch is ini-
tially turned ON.
Note: The PITCH CONTROL function has no effect when LOCAL OFF is active
(see “MIDI FUNCTIONS,” page 16).
● Tuning Down
● To Restore Standard Pitch*
Pitch control makes it possible to tune the Clavinova over a ±50-cent range in approximately
1.2-cent 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.

● A Brief Introduction to MIDI
MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a world-standard com-
munication 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 versatility 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 se-
quence recording. A sequence recorder such as the Yamaha DRC-20 Disk
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-123 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 termi-
nals. Never use MIDI cables longer than about 15 feet, since cables longer than
this can pick up noise which can cause data errors.
● MIDI “Messages” Transmitted
& Received by the Clavinova
Note and Velocity Data
This information tells the receiving keyboard or tone generator to play a certain note (specified by the MIDI
note number) at a certain dynamic level (specified by the MIDI velocity value). Note and velocity data is trans-
mitted by the Clavinova whenever a key is pressed, and the Clavinova’s internal AWM tone generator will
“play” the corresponding note(s) whenever note and velocity data is received from an external MIDI device.
Program Change Numbers
The CLP-123 transmits a MIDI program change number between 0 and 8 when one of its voice selectors is
pressed. This normally causes the correspondingly numbered voice to be selected on a receiving MIDI device.
The Clavinova will respond in the same way, automatically selecting the appropriate voice when a MIDI pro-
gram change number is received. See “Program Change ON/OFF” on page 16 for information on turning pro-
gram change number reception and transmission ON or OFF.
Control Change Numbers
Control Change data representing Soft, Sostenuto and Damper pedal operations is transmitted by the
Clavinova whenever one of these pedals is used. If the receiving device is a tone generator or another keyboard,
it will respond in the same way as the Clavinova’s internal tone generator when one of the pedals is used. The
Clavinova also receives and responds to the appropriate control change data. See “Control Change ON/OFF” on
page 17 for information on turning control change number reception and transmission ON or OFF.
The MIDI information (messages) transmitted and received by the
Clavinova are as follows:

● MIDI Transmit & Receive
Channel Selection
The MIDI system allows transmission and reception of MIDI data on 16
different channels. Multiple channels have been implemented to allow se-
lective 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 genera-
tor 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 information. 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 “OMNI”
receive mode is also available, which allows reception on all 16 MIDI chan-
nels. In the OMNI mode it is not necessary to match the receive channel of
the receiving device to the transmit channel of the transmitting device (ex-
cept when receiving mode messages).
Setting the Clavinova MIDI Channels
ZPress and hold the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
XPress the key on the keyboard corresponding to the desired MIDI trans-
mit or receive channel.*
CRelease the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
* Keys C1 through D#2 on the keyboard are used to set the MIDI transmit
channel, and keys C4 through D#5 are used to turn the OMNI mode OFF
and set the MIDI receive channel as shown in the illustration to the left.
The E5 key sets the OMNI receive mode and basic receive channel 1.
Note: When the power is initially turned ON, MIDI receive is set to the OMNI mode
and the transmit channel is set to 1.
This function allows the MIDI note data transmitted by the Clavinova to
be transposed up or down in semitone increments by up to plus or minus 6
semitones. The pitch of the Clavinova itself is not affected.

MIDI Functions
Other MIDI Functions
The MIDI functions listed to the right are engaged by
holding down the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button and pressing
the corresponding voice selector. Full details are given in the
following pages.
“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 DOM-30 Disk Orchestra Module with the Clavinova, for example, Local Control should be
turned OFF when recording using the DOM-30 voices only, and ON when recording the Clavinova voices while
listening to playback of the DOM-30 voices.
ZHold down the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
XPress the [PIANO 1] voice selector. If the PIANO 1 LED is lit when
the [PIANO 1] voice selector is pressed, you have turned local control
OFF. If the PIANO 1 LED is not lit when the [PIANO 1] voice selector
is pressed, you have turned local control ON.
CRelease the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI program change numbers received from an external keyboard
or other MIDI device, causing the correspondingly numbered Clavinova voice to be selected. The Clavinova
will normally also send a MIDI program change number whenever one of its voices is selected, causing the
correspondingly numbered voice or program to be selected on the external MIDI device if the device is set up to
receive and respond to MIDI program change numbers.
This function makes it possible to cancel program change number reception and transmission so that voices
can be selected on the Clavinova without affecting the external MIDI device, and vice versa.
ZHold down the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
XPress the [PIANO 2] voice selector. If the PIANO 2 LED is lit when
the [PIANO 2] voice selector is pressed, you have turned program
change reception/transmission OFF. If the PIANO 2 LED is not lit
when the [PIANO 2] voice selector is pressed, you have turned pro-
gram change reception/transmission ON.
CRelease the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.

Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI control change data received from an external MIDI device or
keyboard, causing the selected Clavinova voice to be affected by pedal and other “control” settings received
from the controlling device. The Clavinova also transmits MIDI control change information when one of its
pedals are operated.
This function makes it possible to cancel control change data reception and transmission if you do not want
the Clavinova voices to be affected by control change data received from an external device or vice versa.
● Control Change ON/OFF
ZHold down the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
XPress the [CLAVINOVA TONE] voice selector. If the CLAVINOVA
TONE LED is lit when the [CLAVINOVA TONE] voice selector is
pressed, you have turned control change reception/transmission OFF. If
the CLAVINOVA TONE LED is not lit when the [CLAVINOVA
TONE] voice selector is pressed, you have turned control change re-
ception/transmission ON.
CRelease the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
The Multi-Timbre mode is a special mode in which the Clavinova voices
can be independently controlled on different MIDI channel numbers (1
through 10) by an external MIDI device such as the Yamaha DRC-20 Disk
Recorder. The Multi-Timbre mode can be activated as follows:
ZHold down the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
XPress the [E. PIANO] voice selector. If the E. PIANO LED is lit when
the [E. PIANO] voice selector is pressed, you have turned the Multi-
Timbre mode ON. If the E. PIANO LED is not lit when the [E. PI-
ANO] voice selector is pressed, you have turned the Multi-Timbre
mode OFF.
CRelease the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
A Multi-timbre Example
Here’s an example of how you could use the Multi-Timbre mode to
record two different parts on the DRC-20 Disk Recorder that will play dif-
ferent voices on the Clavinova when played back.
ZConnect the DRC-20 to the Clavinova as shown to the left.
XActivate the Clavinova Multi-Timbre mode.
CSet the DRC-20 track 1 to record.
VSelect a voice and record the first part on the DRC-20.
BSet the DRC-20 track 2 to record.
NSelect a voice and record the second part on the DRC-20.
MStill in the Multi-Timbre mode, play back the DRC-20. The recorded
parts will be played back using the individual voices selected during
recording, providing a full ensemble sound.

MIDI Functions
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
DOM-30 Disk Orchestra Module. 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).
ZPress the [HARPSICHORD] voice selector while holding down the
[MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. The HARPSICHORD LED will flash.
XWhile 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.
CRelease the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
VTo 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-123 either the right- or left-hand section of the keyboard can be assigned to control an external
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 [VIBES] voice selector 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.
● Transmitting the Panel Settings
This function causes all the current Clavinova control settings (selected voice, etc.) to be transmitted via the
MIDI OUT terminal. This is particularly useful if you will be recording performances to a MIDI sequence re-
corder which will be used to control the Clavinova on playback. By transmitting the Clavinova panel settings
and recording them on the MIDI sequence recorder prior to the actual performance data, the Clavinova will be
automatically restored to the same settings when the performance is played back.
ZHold down the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
XPress the [STRINGS] voice selector.
CRelease the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.

1. No Sound When the Power is Turned ON
● Options
BC-8 Bench
A comfortable bench styled to match your Yamaha Clavinova.
HPE-6 Stereo Headphones
High-performance lightweight dynamic headphones with extra-soft ear pads.
Is the AC plug properly connected to an AC wall outlet? Check the AC connection carefully. Is the MASTER
VOLUME control turned up to a reasonable listening level?
This can occur if there is a high-power transmitter in your vicinity. Contact your Yamaha dealer.
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.
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.
If the Clavinova is connected to a stereo system or instrument amplifier and the sound is distorted, reduce the set-
ting of the Clavinova volume control to a level at which the distortion ceases.
2. The Clavinova Reproduces Radio or TV Sound
3. Intermittent Static Noise
4. Interference Appears On Radio or TV Sets Located Near the Clavinova
5. Distorted Sound When the Clavinova is Connected to An External Amplifier/Speaker System
