[. . . ] In keeping with both the letter and the spirit of the law, we want you to be aware of the following: Battery Notice: This product MAY contain a small nonrechargable battery which (if applicable) is soldered in place. The average life span of this type of battery is approximately five years. When replacement becomes necessary, contact a qualified service representative to perform the replacement. Warning: Do not attempt to recharge, disassemble, or incinerate this type of battery. [. . . ] 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 multiinstrument sounds. This same type of musical information transfer is used for MIDI sequence recording. A sequence recorder can be used to "record" MIDI data received from a Clavinova, for example. When the recorded data is played back, the Clavinova automatically "plays" the recorded performance in precise detail. The CLP-152S/153S offers a number of MIDI functions that allows it to be used in fairly sophisticated MIDI systems. NOTE Data Being Recorded Playback Data MIDI OUT MIDI IN MIDI OUT MIDI IN DOU-10 Clavinova · Always use a high-quality MIDI cable to connect MIDI OUT to MIDI IN terminals. Never use MIDI cables longer than about 15 feet, since cables longer than this can pick up noise which can cause data errors. q MIDI "Messages" Transmitted & Received by the Clavinova The MIDI information (messages) transmitted and received by the Clavinova are as follows: 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 transmitted 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-152S/153S transmits a MIDI program change number between 0 and 4 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 program change number is received. 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 DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit with the Clavinova, for example, Local Control should be turned OFF when recording using the DOU-10 voices only, and ON when recording the Clavinova voices while listening to playback of the DOU-10 voices. PIANO CLAVINOVA TONE E. If the PIANO LED is lit when the [PIANO] voice selector is pressed, you have turned local control OFF. If the PIANO LED is not lit when the [PIANO] voice selector is pressed, you have turned local control ON. PIANO = Local Control OFF PIANO = Local Control ON C Release the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. q Program Change ON/OFF 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. PIANO CLAVINOVA TONE E. If the CLAVINOVA TONE LED is lit when the [CLAVINOVA TONE] voice selector is pressed, you have turned program change reception/transmission OFF. If the CLAVINOVA TONE LED is not lit when the [CLAVINOVA TONE] voice selector is pressed, you have turned program change reception/transmission ON. CLAVINOVA TONE = Program Change OFF CLAVINOVA TONE = Program Change ON C Release the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. 14 q Control Change ON/OFF 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.
