ENGLISH Sostenuto (Center) Pedal If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will sustain as long as you hold the pedal (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." When you press the sostenuto pedal here while holding the note, the note will sustain as long as you hold the pedal. Soft (Left) Pedal The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not affect notes that are already playing when it is pressed. TIP Organ, string and choir voices will continue to sound for as long as the sostenuto pedal is depressed. TIP The left pedal can be assigned to song start/stop operation or variation function (CLP-130) via the "Left Pedal Mode" described on page 44.

Refer to "Preset Voice List" on page 63 for more information on the characteristics of each variation. Procedure Pressing the [VARIATION] or selected voice button toggles the variation on and off. The indicator lights (ON) each time the [VARIATION] button is pressed. [BRILLIANCE] This control can be used to change the tonality or "timbre" of the sound output. The control range is from MELLOW to BRIGHT. [REVERB] This control enables you to select various digital reverb effects that would add extra depth and expression to the sound to create a realistic acoustic ambience. OFF: When no reverb effect is selected, no REVERB indicator is lit. ROOM: This setting adds a continuous reverb effect to the sound, similar to the acoustic reverberation you would hear in a room. HALL 1: For a "bigger" reverb sound, use the HALL 1 setting. This effect simulates the natural reverberation of a small-size concert hall. HALL 2: For a truly spacious reverb sound, use the HALL 2 setting. This effect simu- lates the natural reverberation of a large concert hall. STAGE: Simulates the reverb of a stage environment. TIP Normal setting = OFF TERMINOLOGY Normal setting: The "Normal setting" refers to the default setting (factory setting) obtained when you first turn on the power to the Clavinova. TIP The left pedal can be assigned to ON or OFF the variation via the "Left Pedal Mode" function described on page 44 (CLP130). NOTE When the BRILLIANCE is set to BRIGHT, the overall sound will be slightly louder. If the MASTER VOLUME is set at a high level the sound may become distorted. If so, lower the MASTER VOLUME level. TIP The default reverb type (including OFF) and depth settings are different for each voice. 22 CLP-130/120 Selecting & Playing Voices
