Selecting & Playing Voices Selecting Voices ENGLISH Procedure 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 comfortable listening level. VOICE C1 D1 F1 G1 The lowest key C1 D1 E1 F1 G1 A1 Key Voice Name Description C1 Grand Piano 1 Recorded samples from a full concert grand piano. Perfect for classical compositions as well as any other style that requires acoustic piano. C 1 Grand Piano 2 Spacious and clear piano with bright reverb. Good for popular music. D1 E.Piano 1 An electronic piano sound created by FM synthesis. Good for popular music. D 1 E.Piano 2 The sound of an electric piano using hammer-struck metallic "tines." Soft tone when played lightly, and an aggressive tone when played hard. E1 Harpsichord 1 The definitive instrument for baroque music. Since harpsichord uses plucked strings, there is no touch response. F1 Harpsichord 2 Mixes the same voice an octave higher for a more brilliant tone. F 1 Vibraphone Vibraphone played with relatively soft mallets. It has a tremolo effect that is typical for vibraphone. G1 Church Organ 1 This is a typical pipe organ sound (8 feet + 4 feet + 2 feet). Good for sacred music from the Baroque period. G 1 Church Organ 2 This is the organ's full coupler sound, often associated with Bach's "Toccata and Fugue". A1 Strings Spacious and large-scale string ensemble. Try combining this voice with piano in DUAL mode. TIP To understand the characteristics 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. 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. When you press the damper pedal here, the notes you play before you release the pedal sustain longer. NOTE If the damper pedal doesn't work, make sure that the pedal cord is properly plugged into the main unit (page 30). NOTE Make sure that the damper pedal is not pressed when you turn on the power to the unit, connect or disconnect the pedal. NOTE Make sure that power is OFF when connecting or disconnecting the pedal. CLP-110 Selecting & Playing Voices 17
