The Connectors 65 Although the Clavinova is a self-contained musical instrument that simply be plugged into the AC mains outlet and played, it also features a number of connectors for system expansion. q AUX IN L and R Jacks ... AUX IN R L These jacks are intended primarily for use with external synthesizers or tone generator modules. For example, the outputs of the synthesizer/tone generator can be to the Clavinova AUX IN jacks, allowing the sound of the synthesizer/tone generator to be reproduced via the Clavinova's internal amplifier and speaker system. Tone Generator NOTES • The input signal from the AUX IN jacks is delivered to the AUX OUT jacks, but is not affected by the Clavinova's volume control or reverb effect. q AUX OUT L/L+R and R Jacks ... AUX OUT R L/L+R The AUX OUT L/L+R and R jacks deliver the output of the Clavinova for connection to an instrument amplifier, mixing console, PA system, or recording equipment. 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. Stereo System CAUTION • The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the AUX IN jacks, either directly or through external equipment. q MIDI IN, THRU and OUT Connectors ... MIDI Sequencer IN OUT MIDI Tone Generator THRU The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device (such as a synthesizer, sequencer, music computer, etc.) 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 instruments 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 54. q EXP PEDAL Jack ... EXP PEDAL An optional Yamaha EP-1 Expression Pedal can be plugged into this jack for foot volume (expression) control of the keyboard sound only (i.e. expression doesn't affect the auto-accompaniment sound or disk playback). Press the pedal forward to increase volume, and backward to decrease volume. q MIC. Jack and VOL. Control ... MIC. VOL. MIN MAX MIC. A standard microphone with a 1/4" phone plug can be connected to the MIC. jack. The microphone sound is then mixed with the Clavinova sound and delivered via the Clavinova's speakers. The MIC. VOL. control can be used to adjust the microphone volume. NOTES • The depth of the digital reverb effect applied to the microphone sound can be adjusted via the "Mic Reverb Depth" utility function described on page 43.
