These jacks are intended for use with an external tone generator module such as
the Yamaha DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit. The stereo outputs from the external
tone generator module are connected to the AUX IN L and R jacks, allowing the
sound of the tone generator to be reproduced via the Clavinova’s internal sound
system and speakers.

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 leftand right-channel signals are combined and delivered via the L/L+R jack so you
don’t lose any of the Clavinova’s sound.
The Internal Amplifier & Speaker System
The CLP-153SG features a high-performance stereo amplifier delivering 20 watts per channel
to a pair of 16-cm speaker units.
NOTE

3 MIDI IN and OUT Connectors

• The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the AUX IN jacks, either
directly or through external equipment.

The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device (such
as the DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit) which can be used to control the Clavinova.
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 14.

The volume levels of the two voices combined in the DUAL mode
are normally set automatically to produce a pleasing balance (see
“Default Settings” below). The balance can be adjusted manually by
using the C2 through C4 keys on the keyboard while pressing the two
voice selectors corresponding to the voices to be combined in the
DUAL mode.
The C3 key produces equal (50:50) balance between the two
voices, while keys to the left of C3 increase the volume of the left
voice in relation to the right voice, and keys to the right of C3 increase the volume of the right voice in relation to the left voice. By
“left” and “right” voice we refer to the relative positions of the voice
selectors — i.e. in a HARPSICHORD/ORGAN combination HARPSICHORD is the left voice and ORGAN is the right voice.

two voice selectors corresponding to the voices to be combined in the
DUAL mode. Press C5 again to shift the voice back to its normal
range. Use the C1 key in the same way to shift the left voice.
All voice combinations are set to the same octave by default.

ORGAN

Press the C7 key while holding any two voice selectors to memorize all balance, and octave shift settings made since the power was
turned on. The memorized settings will be retained in memory for
about one week after the power is turned off, then the default settings
will be restored. To keep the memorized settings for longer periods,
turn the power on briefly at least once a week.
If these settings are not memorized as described above, they are
retained in memory only until the Clavinova is turned off.

Reverb
The [REVERB] button selects a number of digital reverb effects that you can use for extra depth and
expressive power.
To select a reverb type press the [REVERB] button a few times until the indicator corresponding to the
desired type lights (the indicators light in sequence each time the [REVERB] button is pressed). No reverb
is produced when all indicators are off.

OFF ............ When no reverb effect is selected (no REVERB indicator is lit), a special natural
damper effect is applied to the piano voice. This simulates the natural resonance of
an acoustic piano’s strings and sound board when the damper pedal is pressed.
ROOM ........ This setting add a continuous reverb effect to the sound that is similar to the type of
acoustic reverberation you would hear in a medium-size room.
HALL 1 ...... For a “bigger” reverb sound, use the HALL 1 setting. This effect simulates the natural reverberation of a medium-size concert hall.
HALL 2 ...... For a really spacious reverb sound, use the HALL 2 setting. This effect simulates the
natural reverberation of a large concert hall.
COSMIC .... The COSMIC reverb effect produces an echo-plus-reverb sound that can add life and
animation to your music.

● Adjusting Reverb Depth

Touch Sensitivity
Four different types of keyboard touch sensitivity — HARD, MEDIUM, SOFT or FIXED —
can be selected to match different playing styles and preferences. The different touch sensitivity settings are selected by using the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] and [REVERB] buttons.
HARD (ROOM indicator) ........... The HARD setting requires the keys to be played quite hard to produce maximum loudness.
MEDIUM (HALL 1 indicator) ...... The MEDIUM setting produces a fairly “standard” keyboard response. This is
the initial factory default setting.
SOFT (HALL 2 indicator) ........... The SOFT setting allows maximum loudness to be produced with relatively
light key pressure.
FIXED (No indicator lit) .............. All notes are produced at the same volume no matter how hard the keyboard is
played. This is an ideal setting for voices which normally have no keyboard
sensitivity (i.e. harpsichord and organ).

least once a week.
If this setting is not memorized as described above, it is retained in
memory only until the Clavinova is turned off.

The Pedals
The CLP-153SG has two foot pedals that produce a range of expressive effects similar to
those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.

● Soft/Sostenuto (Left) Pedal

Soft/Sostenuto pedal

When the power is turned on the left pedal is set for soft pedal operation.
Pressing the soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre
of notes played.
The left pedal can be switched to sostenuto operation by pressing the
pedal while holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. If you play a note or
chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are
held, those notes will be sustained as long as the pedal is held (as if the
damper pedal had been pressed) but all subsequently played notes will not
be sustained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while
other notes are played “staccato.” You can switch back to soft pedal operation at any time simply by pressing the pedal while holding the [MIDI/
TRANSPOSE] button again.
The damper pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on an
acoustic piano. When the damper pedal is pressed notes played have a long
sustain. When no REVERB effect is selected and a piano voice is selected,
the damper pedal also produces a special “resonance” that simulates the
ring of the strings and the sound board of an acoustic piano. Releasing the
pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes.

● Damper (Right) Pedal

Damper pedal

Transposition
The Clavinova’s TRANSPOSE function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of six semitones. “Transposing” the
pitch of the Clavinova keyboard facilitates playing in difficult key signatures, and you can easily
match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instrumentalist.
The [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button and keys F#2 through F#3 on the keyboard are used for transposition.

* Pressing the C3 key produces normal keyboard pitch. Pressing the key to
the left of C3 (B2) transposes the pitch of the keyboard down a semitone,
the next key to the left (Bb2) transposes down a whole tone (two semitones), etc., down to the F#2 key which transposes down 6 semitones.
Upward transposition is accomplished in the same way using the keys to
the right of C3, up to F#3 which transposes up 6 semitones.
NOTE

• Notes below and above the A-1 — C7 of the Clavinova sound one octave higher and lower, respectively.

Pitch Control
Pitch control makes it possible to tune the Clavinova over a ±50-cent range in approximately
1.2-cent intervals. A hundred “cents” equals one semitone, so the tuning range provided allows
fine tuning of overall pitch over a range of approximately a semitone. Pitch control is useful for
tuning the Clavinova to match other instruments or recorded music.

Using the Recorder
The CLP-153SG recorder lets you record what you play on the keyboard and then play it back. This is a
useful adjunct to any keyboard study program, since it lets you hear exactly how you sound from the listener’s perspective. It can also be just plain fun.
The recorder actually records the following data:
● Notes played
● Damper pedal
● Reverb type

● Voice selection
● Left pedal
● Reverb depth

● Dual mode voices ● Dual balance
● Tempo (Initial setting only.)

MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a world-standard communication interface that allows MIDI-compatible musical instruments and
equipment to share musical information and control one another. This
makes it possible to create “systems” of MIDI instruments and equipment
that offer far greater versatility and control than is available with isolated
instruments. For example, most MIDI keyboards (including the Clavinova,
of course) transmit note and velocity (touch response) information via the
MIDI OUT connector whenever a note is played on the keyboard. If the
MIDI OUT connector is connected to the MIDI IN connector of a second
keyboard (synthesizer, etc.) or a tone generator (essentially a synthesizer
with no keyboard), the second keyboard or tone generator will respond
precisely to notes played on the original transmitting keyboard. The result is
that you can effectively play two instruments at once, providing thick multiinstrument sounds.
This same type of musical information transfer is used for MIDI sequence recording. A sequence recorder can be used to “record” MIDI data
received from a Clavinova, for example. When the recorded data is played
back, the Clavinova automatically “plays” the recorded performance in
precise detail.
The examples given above really only scratch the surface. MIDI can do
much, much more. The CLP-153SG offers a number of MIDI functions that
allows it to be used in fairly sophisticated MIDI systems.

Clavinova

NOTE

● MIDI “Messages” Transmitted
& Received by the Clavinova

• Always use a high-quality MIDI cable to connect MIDI OUT to MIDI IN
terminals. Never use MIDI cables longer than about 15 feet, since cables
longer than this can pick up noise which can cause data errors.

The MIDI information (messages) transmitted and received by the
Clavinova are as follows:

Note and Velocity Data
This information tells the receiving keyboard or tone generator to play a certain note (specified by the MIDI
note number) at a certain dynamic level (specified by the MIDI velocity value). Note and velocity data is transmitted by the Clavinova whenever a key is pressed, and the Clavinova’s internal AWM tone generator will
“play” the corresponding note(s) whenever note and velocity data is received from an external MIDI device.
Program Change Numbers
The CLP-153SG transmits a MIDI program change number between 0 and 4 when one of its voice selectors is
pressed. This normally causes the correspondingly numbered voice to be selected on a receiving MIDI device.
The Clavinova will respond in the same way, automatically selecting the appropriate voice when a MIDI program change number is received. See “Program Change ON/OFF” on page 16 for information on turning program change number reception and transmission ON or OFF.
Control Change Numbers
Control Change data representing Damper pedal operation is transmitted by the Clavinova whenever one of
these pedals is used. If the receiving device is a tone generator or another keyboard, it will respond in the same
way as the Clavinova’s internal tone generator when one of the pedals is used. The Clavinova also receives and
responds to the appropriate control change data. See “Control Change ON/OFF” on page 17 for information on
turning control change number reception and transmission ON or OFF.

Clavinova
(Set to receive on MIDI channel 1)

The MIDI system allows transmission and reception of MIDI data on 16
different channels. Multiple channels have been implemented to allow selective control of certain instruments or devices connected in series. For
example, a single MIDI sequence recorder could be used to “play” two
different instruments or tone generators. One of the instruments or tone
generators could be set to receive only on channel 1, while the other is set
to receive on channel 2. In this situation the first instrument or tone generator will respond only to channel-1 information transmitted by the sequence
recorder, while the second instrument or tone generator will respond only to
channel-2 information. This allows the sequence recorder to “play” two
completely different parts on the receiving instruments or tone generators.
In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and
receiving equipment must be matched for proper data transfer. An “OMNI”
receive mode is also available, which allows reception on all 16 MIDI channels. In the OMNI mode it is not necessary to match the receive channel of
the receiving device to the transmit channel of the transmitting device (except when receiving mode messages).

● Local Control ON/OFF
“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the Clavinova keyboard controls its internal tone generator,
allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard. This situation is “Local Control ON” since
the internal tone generator is controlled locally by its own keyboard.
Local control can be turned OFF, however, so that the Clavinova keyboard does not play the internal voices,
but the appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector when notes are played on
the keyboard. At the same time, the internal tone generator responds to MIDI information received via the MIDI
IN connector.
When using the DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit with the Clavinova, for example, Local Control should be
turned OFF when recording using the DOU-10 voices only, and ON when recording the Clavinova voices while
listening to playback of the DOU-10 voices.

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
DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit. 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.

turning the [POWER] switch ON. This also erases all recorder data.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter what appears to be a malfunction, please check the following
points before assuming that your Clavinova is faulty.

1. No Sound When the Power is Turned ON
Is the AC plug properly connected to an AC wall outlet? Check the AC connection carefully. Is the MASTER
VOLUME control turned up to a reasonable listening level?

2. The Clavinova Reproduces Radio or TV Sound
This can occur if there is a high-power transmitter in your vicinity. Contact your Yamaha dealer.

3. Intermittent Static Noise
This is usually due to turning ON or OFF a household appliance or other electronic equipment which is fed by
the same AC mains line as your Clavinova.

4. Interference Appears On Radio or TV Sets Located Near the Clavinova
The Clavinova contains digital circuitry which can generate radio-frequency noise. The solution is to move the
Clavinova further away from the affected equipment, or vice versa.

5. Distorted Sound When the Clavinova is Connected to An External Amplifier/Speaker System
If the Clavinova is connected to a stereo system or instrument amplifier and the sound is distorted, reduce the
setting of the Clavinova volume control to a level at which the distortion ceases.

V Install the main unit (A).

V Montieren Sie die Tastatureinheit (A).

Place the main unit (A) on the side panels (D) with the
screws on its bottom panel (toward the rear of the main
unit) just behind the grooves in the brackets located at the
top of the side panels. Then slide the main unit forward
until it stops. WATCH YOUR FINGERS WHEN DOING THIS!!
Align the holes on the bottom panel of the main unit
with the holes in the brackets on the side panels (also
center the main unit to produce equal clearance on the left
and right sides, as shown in the illustration), then screw in
and securely tighten the four 6 x 16 millimeter flat-head
screws 3.

Setzen Sie die Tastatureinheit (A) so auf den fertigen
Ständer, daß die beiden Schrauben an ihrer Unterseite hinter
den Winkelblechen mit Führungsschlitz an der Hinterseite
des Ständers zu liegen kommen. Schieben Sie die Tastatureinheit dann bis zum Anschlag in die Schlitze. KLEMMEN
SIE IHRE FINGER DABEI NICHT EIN!!
Richten Sie die Schraubenbohrungen an der Unterseite der
Tastatureinheit mit den Bohrungen der Winkelbleche aus
(achten Sie auch darauf, daß sie mittig auf dem Ständer steht,
wie in der Abbildung gezeigt). Schrauben Sie die Tastatureinheit dann mit den vier 6 x 16 mm Senkschrauben 3 am
Ständer fest.

B Connect the pedal cord.

Sichern Sie das Pedalkabel in den beiden Kabelhaltern an
den Seitenwänden. Der Stecker wird an die zugehörige
Buchse an der Unterseite der Tastatureinheit (A) angeschlossen. Der Stecker paßt nur in einer Richtung in die Buchse
(mit der Führungsnase zur Tastaturseite des Instruments
weisend — siehe Abbildung). Versuchen Sie nicht, den Stekker falsch herum mit Gewalt in die Buchse zu drücken!

Pass the pedal cord through the two cord holders on the
side panel. Plug the free end of the cord into the connector
on the bottom of the main unit (A). The plug only goes in
one way (the lug on the connector should face the keyboard-side of the main unit, as shown in the illustration) —
don’t try to force it in the wrong way around.

NSet the adjuster.
For stability, an adjuster is provided on the bottom of
the pedal box (C). Rotate the adjuster until it comes in firm
contact with the floor surface. The adjuster ensures stable
pedal operation and facilitates pedal effect control. If the
adjuster is not in firm contact with the floor surface, distorted sound may result.

B Schließen Sie das Pedalkabel an.

Sie schließlich noch den
N Justieren
Höhenversteller.
Zur Stabilisierung ist an der Unterseite des Pedalkastens
(C) ein Höhenversteller vorgesehen. Schrauben Sie den
Höhenversteller heraus, bis er fest auf dem Fußboden steht.
Der Höhenversteller sorgt für stabile Pedalbetätigung und
ermöglicht eine präzise Regelung des Betätigungshubs.
Wenn er nicht fest auf dem Boden steht, können beim Treten
der Pedale Klangverzerrungen auftreten.
WICHTIG

IMPORTANT

iii

• After assembling the Clavinova, check once more to
make sure that all screws have been securely fastened.
• If the stand leans to the side, makes unusual noises,
or otherwise seems unstable during use, check and
tighten all screws while following the assembly instructions given above.

• Vergewissern Sie sich nach Zusammenbau und Aufstellung des Clavinova noch einmal davon, daß alle
Schrauben fest angezogen sind.
• Wenn der Ständer schief steht, komische Geräusch
erzeugt oder sich beim Spielen wackelig anfühlt, prüfen
Sie gemäß den unter “Zusammenbau und Aufstellung”
gegebenen Anweisungen, ob der Ständer richtig
zusammengebaut wurde, und ziehen dabei die einzelnen Schrauben noch einmal nach.

V Posez le clavier (A)

V Instale la unidad principal (A).

Placez le clavier sur les panneaux latéraux (D), avec les
vis de son panneau inférieur (situées vers l’arrière du clavier) placées immédiatement derrière les rainures des ferrures situées à la partie supérieure des panneaux latéraux
(D), puis faites glisser le clavier vers l’avant jusqu’à ce
qu’il vienne en butée. FAITES ATTENTION A VOS
DOIGTS EN EXECUTANT CETTE OPERATION!!
Alignez les trous du panneau inférieur du clavier sur les
trous des ferrures des panneaux latéraux (centrez également le clavier de manière à avoir un jeu identique de chaque côté) puis posez et serrez à fond les quatre vis à tête
plate de 6 x 16 millimètres 3.

Coloque la unidad principal en los paneles laterales (D)
con los tornillos de su panel inferior (hacia la parte posterior de la unidad principal) justo detrás de las ranuras de la
ménsula ubicada en la parte superior de los paneles laterales (D), después deslice el teclado hacia adelante hasta que
se pare. ¡TENGA CUIDADO CON SUS DEDOS MIENTRAS LO HACE!
Alinee los orificios del panel inferior de la unidad principal con los orificios de las ménsulas de los paneles laterales (también centre la unidad principal para producir una
holgura igual en los lados derecho e izquierdo, como se
muestra en la ilustración), después enrosque y apriete bien
los cuatro tornillos de cabeza plana de 6 x 16 mm 3.

B Connectez le cordon du pédalier
Faites passer le cordon du pédalier dans les deux supports de cordon situés sur le panneau latéral. La prise doit
être branchée au connecteur correspondant situé à la partie
inférieure du clavier (A). La prise ne peut être branchée
que dans un seul sens (la languette de la prise doit être
dirigée vers l’avant du clavier, comme montré sur l’illustration) et n’essayez donc pas de la forcer pour la mettre en
place du mauvais côté.

B Conecte el cable de los pedales.
Pase el cable de los pedales a través de los dos soportes
de cable del panel lateral. La clavija puede enchufarse en
el conector correspondiente de la parte inferior de la unidad principal (A). La clavija se enchufa sólo en una dirección (la lengüeta del conector debe estar encarada hacia el
lado del teclado de la unidad principal, como se muestra en
la ilustración), por eso no la fuerce en la dirección errónea.

N’oubliez pas de régler la hauteur du
N pédalier

NAsegúrese de ajustar el ajustador.

Pour assurer la stabilité du pédalier (C), un dispositif de
réglage a été prévu à sa partie inférieure. Tournez ce dispositif jusqu’à ce qu’il soit en contact ferme avec la surface du sol. Ce dispositif assure la stabilité du pédalier
lors de son utilisation et facilite la commande au pied des
effets. Si ce dispositif n’est pas en contact ferme avec le
sol, il pourra se produire une distorsion du son.

Para la estabilidad del aparato, se proporciona un
ajustador en la parte inferior de la caja de pedales (C).
Gire el ajustador hasta que contacte firmemente con el
suelo. El ajustador asegura una operación estable de los
pedales y facilita el control del efecto de los pedales. Si el
ajustador no contacta firmemente con el suelo, puede resultar en sonido distorsionado.

IMPORTANT

• Après avoir assemblé le Clavinova, vérifiez une fois
de plus que toutes les vis sont bien serrées.
• Si le support du clavier penche d’un côté, fait du bruit
ou semble instable lorsque vous utilisez l’instrument,
vérifiez de nouveau et resserrez toutes les vis en
suivant les instructions d’assemblage données cidessus.

IMPORTANTE

• Después de montar la Clavinova, compruebe otra
vez para asegurarse de que todos los tornillos se
han apretado bien.
• Si el soporte se inclina hacia un lado, hace ruidos
anormales, o parece inestable durante la utilización,
compruebe y apriete todos los tornillos mientras
sigue las instrucciones de montaje de arriba.
