Introduction Thank you for choosing a Yamaha Clavinova. Your Clavinova is a fine musical instrument that employs advanced Yamaha music technology. With the proper care, your Clavinova will give you many years of musical pleasure. G The Clavinova CLP-950/930 digital piano offers unmatched sonic realism and natural grand-piano type playability with Yamaha's original "AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling" tone generation technology on the CLP-950 and "AWM Stereo Sampling" on the CLP-930 for rich, musical voices, and a special "Graded Hammer" keyboard which provides graded key weight and response throughout the keyboard range. The grand piano voices feature totally new samples painstakingly recorded from a full concert grand piano. The CLP-950 GRAND PIANO 1 voice features multiple velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sampling), a "Soundboard Reverb" effect which accurately simulates the resonance of a piano soundboard, special "Sustain Samples" which recreate the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano's soundboard and strings when the damper pedal is pressed, and "Key-off Samples" that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are released. G Dual mode allows 2 voices to be played simultaneously. G Split mode (CLP-950) allows different voices to be played by the left and right hands. G Metronome feature with variable tempo facilitates practice. G 2-track digital recorder lets you record and play back anything you play on the keyboard. G MIDI compatibility and a range of MIDI functions make the Clavinova useful in a range of advanced MIDI music systems. G Built-in computer interface for direct connection to personal computers running advanced music software. The music stand can be removed to allow placement of a laptop-type personal computer or other equipment on top of the instrument. In order to make the most of your Clavinova's performance potential and features, we urge you to read this Owner's Manual thoroughly, and keep it in a safe place for later reference. * The models CLP-950M and CLP-950C will be referred to as the CLP-950 in this Owner's Manual.
