MIDI Functions q The MIDI Split & Left Local OFF Mode In the MIDI split mode one section of the Clavinova keyboard is used to play a Clavinova voice in the normal way, while the remaining section is used to play a second MIDI keyboard or tone generator such as the Yamaha DOM-30 Disk Orchestra Module. In this mode the right-hand section of the keyboard is used to play an internal Clavinova voice, while the left-hand section of the keyboard plays the external keyboard or tone generator. Playing the left-hand section of the keyboard produces no sound from the Clavinova. The "split point," or the key that divides the left- and right-hand sections of the keyboard can be set at any desired key.

PIANO HARPSICHORD MIDI/ TRANSPOSE SPLIT POINT w The MIDI split mode is useful if, for example, you want to play a piano (Clavinova) voice with the right hand while playing a synthesizer bass line or string section with the left hand. When the MIDI split mode is activated, notes played on the left-hand section are transmitted via the Clavinova MIDI OUT connector on MIDI channel 2. Notes played on the right-hand section are transmitted on the "basic channel" (i.e. the channel set using the MIDI channel selection function described previously). Z Press the [HARPSICHORD] voice selector while holding down the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. The HARPSICHORD LED will flash. X While still holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button, press the key on the keyboard at which you want to set the split point. The HARPSICHORD LED will light continuously. The split-point becomes the first key of the left-hand section. C Release the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. V To return to the normal full-keyboard mode, hold the [MIDI/TRANS- POSE] button and press the [HARPSICHORD] voice selector, then release both buttons. Left-hand section plays a DOM-30 bass voice. Right-hand section plays a Clavinova piano voice. Note: When the power is turned ON the default split point key - F#2 - will be automatically selected. If a new split point is selected it remains active until the power is turned OFF or a different split point is selected. q The MIDI Split & Right Local Off Mode In the CLP-123 either the right- or left-hand section of the keyboard can be assigned to control an external keyboard or tone generator. Assigning the left-hand section to external tone generator control was described in the previous section. To assign the right-hand section to external tone generator control while playing the Clavinova voices with the left hand, press the [VIBES] voice selector instead of the [HARPSICHORD] voice selector when activating the Split mode (see the preceding section). All other operations are exactly the same as described in the previous section. q Transmitting the Panel Settings This function causes all the current Clavinova control settings (selected voice, etc.) to be transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal. This is particularly useful if you will be recording performances to a MIDI sequence recorder which will be used to control the Clavinova on playback. By transmitting the Clavinova panel settings and recording them on the MIDI sequence recorder prior to the actual performance data, the Clavinova will be automatically restored to the same settings when the performance is played back.
