The Keyboard & Polyphony 13 The Clavinova has "32-note polyphony" which means you can normally play up to 32 notes at once. This number varies, however, according to the functions being used, as shown in the chart below: Keyboard only Keyboard only (dual) Keyboard + rhythm Keyboard (dual) + rhythm Keyboard + ABC Keyboard (dual) + ABC 32 notes. 16 notes. 24 notes (rhythm uses 8). 12 notes 12 notes (rhythm 8; ABC 12). 6 notes q The number of available notes is further reduced if the performance memory or a Disk Orchestra Collection disk is being played at the same time. Further variation occurs in the CVP-85A and CVP-83S with "1-layer" and "2-layer" voices: the polyphony is halved with 2-layer voices. The CVP-87A additionally features stereo voices. The following chart shows all stereo, 2-layer, and 1-layer voices in the CVP-87A, CVP-85A, and CVP-83S.

The amount of variation available depends on the selected voice.
