Selecting & Playing Voices
Selecting Voices
Select the desired voice by pressing one of the
[VOICE]
buttons.
Then, when you start playing, re-adjust the
[MASTER VOLUME]
control for the most
comfortable listening level.
Using the Pedals
The Clavinova has three foot pedals that produce a range
of expressive effects similar to those produced by the
pedals on an acoustic piano.
Damper (Right) Pedal
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 select the
GRAND PIANO 1
voice on the CLP-
130, pressing the damper pedal activates the instrument’s
special “Sustain Samples” to accurately recreate the
unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s sound-
board and strings.
