The Style File Format features a unique conversion system that allows you to play exceptionally high-quality accompaniments with a variety of chord types. In addition to the internal styles, the Style File Format lets you use other sophisticated styles from optional Style File disks, as well as styles that were created and saved to disk in the Custom Style mode. Style files created for Clavinova models prior to the CVP-201 may have slightly different formats. If you try loading such files, the data may not play back as expected. (This also applies to the use of CVP-201 style data by earlier-model Clavinovas.) Loading Styles from a Disk Z Insert a disk...Insert a disk containing style files into the disk drive. The [DISK IN USE] lamp will light briefly while the Clavinova reads and identifies the disk. When a Style File disk is inserted, the STYLE FILE LOAD display (see step 2 below) will appear automatically. If the disk is already inserted and the STYLE FILE LOAD display is not showing, press the [DISK/CUSTOM] button to open the DISK/ CUSTOM STYLE display, then press the LOAD SINGLE button. If a disk containing both song data and style files is inserted, the SONG PLAY display will automatically appear. If this happens, press the [SONG] button or the [EXIT] button to return to the main display, then press the [DISK/CUSTOM] button. DISK IN USE To load a set of four style files that was created by selecting ALL as the memory number when the files were saved in Custom Style mode (see page 82), press the ALL LOAD LCD button rather than the LOAD SINGLE button. 86 CVP-201 84

CVP-201

You can load and play style files created in the Style File Format

either from optional Yamaha “Style File” disks, or from disks

containing custom style files you’ve created yourself.

Using Style Files

The Style File Format is Yamaha’s original auto-accompaniment for-

mat, which has evolved through years of development and refinement.

The Style File Format features a unique conversion system that allows

you to play exceptionally high-quality accompaniments with a variety of

chord types. In addition to the internal styles, the Style File Format lets

you use other sophisticated styles from optional Style File disks, as well

as styles that were created and saved to disk in the Custom Style mode.

About the Yamaha Style File Format

Style files created for Clavinova models

prior to the CVP-201 may have slightly

different formats. If you try loading such

files, the data may not play back as

expected. (This also applies to the use of

CVP-201 style data by earlier-model

Clavinovas.)

Loading Styles from a Disk

Insert a disk.

...........................................................................................................

If a disk containing both song data and

style files is inserted, the SONG PLAY

display will automatically appear. If this

happens, press the [SONG] button or the

[EXIT] button to return to the main dis-

play, then press the [DISK/CUSTOM]

button.

Insert a disk containing style files into the disk drive. The [DISK IN

USE] lamp will light briefly while the Clavinova reads and identifies the

disk. When a Style File disk is inserted, the STYLE FILE LOAD display

(see step 2 below) will appear automatically.

If the disk is already inserted and the STYLE FILE LOAD display is

not showing, press the

[DISK/CUSTOM]

button to open the DISK/

CUSTOM STYLE display, then press the

LOAD SINGLE

button.

DISK IN USE

To load a set of four style files that was created by selecting ALL as

the memory number when the files were saved in Custom Style mode (see

page 82), press the

ALL LOAD

LCD button rather than the

LOAD SIN-

GLE

button.
