IMPORTANT
— Check your power supply —
Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the name plate on the bottom panel. In
some areas a voltage selector may be provided on the bottom panel of the main keyboard unit near the power cord.
Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area. The voltage selector is set at 240V when the unit
is initially shipped. To change the setting use a “minus” screwdriver to rotate the selector dial so that the correct
voltage appears next to the pointer on the panel.
Before using the instrument, be sure to read “PRECAUTIONS” on pages 6-7.
For information on assembling the instrument, refer to the instructions at the end of this manual.

IMPORTANT
– Vérifiez votre alimentation électrique –
Vérifiez que la tension de votre alimentation secteur correspond à celle qui est spécifiée sur la plaque du fabricant,
située sur le panneau inférieur. Dans certaines régions, un sélecteur de tension peut être installé sur le panneau
inférieur du clavier principal, à proximité du cordon d’alimentation. Assurez-vous que le sélecteur de tension est réglé
sur la tension utilisée dans votre région. En usine, le sélecteur est initialement paramétré sur 240 V. Pour modifier ce
réglage, utilisez un tournevis plat et faites tourner le cadran du sélecteur jusqu'à ce que la valeur souhaitée
apparaisse à côté de l’indicateur sur le panneau.
Avant d’utiliser l’instrument, lisez attentivement la section « PRÉCAUTIONS D'USAGE » aux pages 6 et 7.
Pour plus d’informations sur l’assemblage de l’instrument, reportez-vous aux instructions figurant à la fin de
ce manuel.

—compruebe la fuente de alimentación—
Asegúrese de que la tensión de la red local de suministro de CA coincide con la especificada en la placa situada en
el panel inferior. Es posible que en algunas zonas se incluya un selector de tensión en el panel inferior de la unidad
del teclado principal, junto al cable de alimentación. Asegúrese de que este selector está ajustado según la tensión
de la zona. El selector de tensión viene ajustado de fábrica en 240 V. Para cambiar el ajuste, utilice un destornillador
de punta plana para girar el selector hasta aparezca que la tensión correcta al lado del puntero del panel.
Antes de utilizar el instrumento, lea las “PRECAUCIONES”, en las páginas 6-7.

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical
shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the
following:

Power supply/Power cord

Fire warning

• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators. Also,
do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, or place heavy objects on
it.

• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall

CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage
to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Power supply/Power cord

Handling caution

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector.
Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the
outlet.

• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or instrument. Also
take care that the key cover does not pinch your finger.

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold
the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the key
cover, panel or keyboard. This could cause physical injury to you or others,
damage to the instrument or other property, or operational failure.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for
extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not
use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of time at a
high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing
loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a
physician.

Assembly
• Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly process.
Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might result in
damage to the instrument or even injury.

Using the bench (If included)

Location
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally
fall over.
• When transporting or moving the instrument, always use two or more people.
Attempting to lift the instrument by yourself may damage your back, result in
other injury, or cause damage to the instrument itself.

• Do not place the bench in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall
over.
• Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or stepladder
or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury.
• Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the
possibility of accident or injury.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to prevent damage
to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip over them.

• If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten them
periodically using the included tool.

• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily
accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power
switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is
turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum level. When
you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power
cord from the wall AC outlet.

• Keep special watch over any small children so that they don’t fall off the rear of
the bench. Since the bench does not have a backrest, unsupervised use may
result in accident or injury.

Connections
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the
power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components,
set all volume levels to minimum.
• Be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and
gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the
desired listening level.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
Even when the [

] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status (power lamp is off), electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level.

When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

CVP-609/605 Owner’s Manual

Notices and Information
NOTICE
To avoid the possibility of malfunction/ damage to the product, damage to data, or damage to other property, follow the
notices below.

 Handling
• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the
instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise. When you use the instrument along with the application on your iPhone/iPad, we
recommend that you set “Airplane Mode” to “ON” on your iPhone/iPad in order to avoid noise caused by communication.
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in
a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration, damage to the internal components or unstable operation.
(Verified operating temperature range: 5° – 40°C, or 41° – 104°F.)
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
• In the case of a model with a polished finish, bumping the surface of the instrument with metal, porcelain, or other hard objects can
cause the finish to crack or peel. Use caution.

 Instrument / Bench Maintenance
To keep your Clavinova in optimum condition, we recommend that you periodically follow the maintenance points
below.
• When cleaning the instrument or bench, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids,
or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Otherwise, it may become discolored or degraded.
• If you are using a model with a polished finish, gently remove dust and dirt with a soft cloth. Do not wipe too hard since small
particles of dirt can scratch the instrument's finish. To keep the surface polished, apply commercially available piano polisher to a
soft cloth and wipe the instrument’s surface with it. Then, polish it with a separate cloth. Before using any piano polisher, make sure
to read the instructions for proper usage.
• During extreme changes in temperature or humidity, condensation may occur and water may collect on the surface of the
instrument. If water is left, the wooden parts may absorb the water and be damaged. Make sure to wipe any water off immediately
with a soft cloth.
• As with an acoustic piano, pedals may become tarnished across the ages. When this occurs, polish the pedal with a compound
designed for piano pedals. Before using the compound, make sure to read the instructions for proper usage.

 Saving data
• The edited Songs/Styles/Voices and MIDI settings are lost when you turn off the power of the instrument without saving. It occurs
also when the power is turned of by Auto Power Off function (page 15). Save the edited data to the instrument (User memory) or
USB flash memory (page 29). Saving the data to USB flash memory is even more secure, since the data in the instrument may be
lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation.
• To further protect against data loss through the USB flash memory damage, we recommend that you save your important data onto
two USB flash memories.

on physical media (compact discs, digital versatile discs, semiconductor chips, hard drives, memory cards and the like). An
independent license for such use is required. For details, please visit http://mp3licensing.com.

 Tuning
• Unlike an acoustic piano, this instrument does not need to be tuned by an expert (although the pitch can be user-adjusted to match
other instruments). This is because the pitch of digital instruments is always maintained perfectly.

Compatible formats for this instrument


GM2

“GM (General MIDI)” is one of the most common Voice allocation formats. “GM System Level 2” is a standard specification that
enhances the original “GM” and improves Song data compatibility. It provides for increased polyphony, greater Voice selection,
expanded Voice parameters, and integrated effect processing.



XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha specifically to provide more Voices
and variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects, and to ensure compatibility of data well into the
future.



GS was developed by the Roland Corporation. In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major enhancement of the GM specifically
to provide more Voices and Drum kits and their variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects.



The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater functionality and openended
expandability for the future. This instrument is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF file containing lyric data is played.



SFF GE (Guitar Edition)

“SFF (Style File Format)” is an original Style file format by Yamaha which uses a unique conversion system to provide highquality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types. “SFF GE (Guitar Edition)” is an enhanced format of SFF,
which features improved note transposition for guitar tracks.

lets you select the desired piano type as well as different room

playing an actual piano.

Enormous Variety of Instrument Voices
Naturally, the CVP provides many realistic piano Voices for your
playing enjoyment. But it also features a wide variety of authentic
instruments, both acoustic and electronic. Moreover, the special
Super Articulation Voices realistically recreate many of the
performance techniques and characteristic sounds generated when
an artist plays an instrument. The result is superbly detailed
expression — such as the realistic sound of finger slides on guitar,
and the expressive breath noises of saxophone and other wind
instruments.
Page 42

Full Backing Band Accompaniment
Even if you’re playing alone, the CVP can put an entire backing band
behind you! Simply playing chords with your left hand automatically
triggers and controls the auto accompaniment backing (Style
function). You can change arrangements on the fly, instantly
selecting different rhythm variations and breaks in real time —
including Intro, Ending, and Fill-in — during your performance.
And if you find it hard to select just the right Style from the huge
variety available, use the Style Recommender function, which calls
up a list of suggested Styles, based on a sample rhythm you play.

Using the Pedals
NOTE
If the pedal box rattles or gives
way when you step on the
pedals, turn the adjuster so
that it is set firmly against the
floor (pages 95, 98, 100).

NOTE

 Damper Pedal (Right)

Half-pedal function

If you press and hold the damper
pedal here, all the notes shown will be
sustained.

NOTE

This function allows the sustain length to vary depending on how far the pedal is
pressed. The farther you press the pedal, the more the sound sustains. For example, if
you press the damper pedal and the notes you play sound a bit murky and loud with too
much sustain, you can partially release the pedal to lessen the sustain (murkiness).
GP Responsive Damper Pedal

The pedals are covered with
vinyl covers when shipped
from the factory. If your
instrument features the GP
Responsive Damper Pedal,
remove the cover from the
damper pedal for optimum use
of the pedal effect.

This special pedal has been designed to provide enhanced tactile response and, when pressed,
is much closer in feel to the pedal of an actual grand piano. It makes it easier to physically
experience the half-pedal point and more easily apply the half-pedal effect than other pedals.
Since the pressing sensation may vary depending on the situation, including the location where
the instrument is installed, you can adjust the half-pedal point to the desired setting on the
display called up via [Menu] → [Assignable] → [Pedal]. For details, refer to the Reference
Manual on the website.

Basic Operations

Pressing this pedal sustains notes. Releasing this pedal
immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. A
“half-pedal” function of this pedal creates partial
sustain effects, depending on how far down you press
the pedal.

• Certain Voices, such as
strings and brass, sustain
continuously when the
damper/sostenuto pedal is
pressed.
• Certain Voices such as
drum kits may not be
affected by use of the
damper/sostenuto pedal.

 Sostenuto Pedal (Center)
When the Piano Voice is selected, if you play a note or
chord on the keyboard and press this pedal while
holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as the
pedal is held. All subsequent notes will not sustain.
When a Voice other than piano is selected, a specific
function appropriate for the Voice is automatically
assigned to the center pedal.

If you press and hold the sostenuto
pedal here, only the notes held at this
timing will be sustained.

 Soft Pedal (Left)
When the Piano Voice is selected, pressing this pedal reduces the volume and slightly
changes the timbre of the notes you play. When a Voice other than piano is selected, a
specific function appropriate for the Voice is automatically assigned to the center pedal.
You can adjust the depth of the Soft pedal effect on the display called up via [Menu] →
[Assignable] → [Pedal]. For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.
Assigning a function to each pedal
Various functions can be assigned to each of the three pedals and an optional foot controller/
footswitch — including start/stop of Song playback and controlling a Super Articulation Voice.
These can be set on the display called up via [Menu] → [Assignable] → [Pedal]. For details, refer
to the Reference Manual on the website.

even when the keys are released. Nondecaying Voices such as strings are held
continuously, while decay-type Voices such as piano decay more slowly (as if the sustain
pedal has been pressed).
When the Left Hold is “On,” an “H” indication appears at the left side of the keyboard
illustration in the center of the Home display.

This function is convenient when used along with Style playback since the sound of the
chord matching Style playback is maintained. To stop the Left Voice which is sounding,
stop Style or Song playback, or set the Left Hold function to “Off.”

There are various Voice characteristics; however, only the following ones are covered here. For
detailed explanations, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.
•

: Super Articulation (SA, SA2) Voices

The word “articulation” in music usually refers to the transition or continuity between notes. This is often
reflected in specific performance techniques, such as staccato, legato and slur. For details, refer to page 46.

•

: Organ Flutes Voices
Lets you recreate all of the classic organ sounds by adjusting the flute footage levels and the percussive
sounds, just like on conventional organs. For details, refer to page 47.

•

: Drum Voices,

: SFX Voices

Lets you play various drums and percussion instruments or SFX (sound effects) sounds on the keyboard.
Details are given in the Drum/Key Assignment List of the separate Data List.

CVP-609/605 Owner’s Manual

• SA and SA2 Voices are only
compatible with other models
which have those types of
Voices installed. Any Song or
Style data you’ve created on
the instrument using these
Voices will not sound properly
when played back on other
instruments.
• SA and SA2 Voices sound
differently depending on the
keyboard range, velocity,
touch, etc. Hence, if you turn
on a Keyboard Harmony effect,
change the transpose setting
or change the Voice Settings,
unexpected or undesired
sounds may result.
• The characteristics of SA2
Voices (default vibrato setting
and articulation effects applied
by the pedals) are effective for
real-time performance;
however, these effects may not
be completely reproduced
when you play back a Song
which has been recorded
using SA2 Voices.

Setting the Split Point
The key which divides the keyboard into two or three areas is referred to as “Split Point.”
There are two types of Split Point: “Left Split Point” and “Style Split Point.” The “Left
Split Point” divides the keyboard into the Left Voice area and Main Voice area while the
“Style Split Point” divides the keyboard into the Chord area and the Main or Left Voice
area. Though both Split Points are at the same key (F#2) by default, you can also set
them individually (as shown).

Playing Super Articulation Voices
The Super Articulation Voices (SA Voices and SA2 Voices) enable you to create subtle,
very realistic musical expressions, simply by how you play.

 SA Voices
The SA Voices provide many benefits with great playability and expressive control in
real time.

Example: Saxophone Voice
If you play a C note and then an adjacent D in a very legato way, you will hear the note
change seamlessly, as though a saxophone player played it in a single breath.

Example: Guitar Voice
If you press and hold a C note then press the left pedal, the pitch will change from C to D
note as if a guitarist played a hammer-on note.

Voices – Playing the keyboard –

 SA2 Voices (only for the CVP-609)
For wind instrument Voices and Violin Voices, a special technology called AEM has
been used, which features detailed samples of special expressive techniques used on
those specific instruments — to bend or slide into notes, to “join” different notes
together, or to add expressive nuances at the end of a note, etc.

NOTE
AEM is a technology that
simulates the sound of
acoustic instruments naturally
by smoothly joining the most
appropriate sound samples
selected from the data base in
realtime during performance.

Example: Clarinet Voice
If you hold a C note and play the Bb above, you’ll hear a glissando up to the Bb.
Some “note off ” effects are also produced automatically when you hold a note for over a
certain time.

Adding Articulation Effects by Using the Pedal
When you assign a SA or SA2 Voice to the Main part, the function of the center and left pedals
are switched to control articulation effects. Pressing a pedal triggers different playing effects,
separate from your keyboard playing. For example, pressing a pedal for a saxophone Voice can
produce breath noises or key noises, while doing the same for a guitar Voice can produce fret
noises or body-tapping sounds. You can effectively intersperse these into the notes as you play.
When an SA2 Voice is selected (CVP-609), pressing a pedal and playing/releasing a note
enables you to add articulation effects, such as bend up/down, glissando up/down, brass falls,
etc.

For specific performance instructions on certain Voices, you can call up the Information
window of the selected SA Voice or SA2 Voice by touching the [S.Art] or [S.Art2] icon
which appears on the upper right of the Voice name on the Home display.

• If you assign the Articulation
function to the
ASSIGNABLE buttons

pedals.

Creating Original Organ Flutes Voices
The instrument uses advanced digital technology to recreate the legendary sound of
vintage organs. Just as on a traditional organ, you can create your own sound by
increasing and decreasing the levels of the flute footages. The created Voice can be saved
for future recall.

On the Voice Selection display, select the desired Organ Flutes Voice.

NOTE
The term “footage” is a
reference to the sound
generation of traditional pipe
organs, in which the sound is
produced by pipes of different
lengths (in feet).

Styles
– Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment –
The instrument features a variety of accompaniment and rhythmic backing patterns (called “Styles”) in a variety of
different musical genres including pop, jazz, and many others. Each Style features Auto Accompaniment, letting you
produce automatic accompaniment playback simply by playing “chords” with your left hand. This lets you
automatically recreate the sound of a full band or orchestra — even if you’re playing by yourself.

Playing with a Style
Try out Style accompaniment with the following song. After you understand how to use the Style, try out other songs by
using various Styles.

Lets you finger your own chords on the chord section of the
keyboard, while the instrument supplies appropriately orchestrated
rhythm, bass, and chord accompaniment in the selected Style. The
Fingered type recognizes the various chord types which are listed
on the separate Data List booklet and can be looked up using the
Chord Tutor function called up via [Menu] → [ChordTutor].

Fingered On
Bass

Accepts the same fingerings as Fingered, but the lowest note played
in the Chord section of the keyboard is used as the bass note,
allowing you to play “on bass” chords. (In the Fingered mode, the
root of the chord is always used as the bass note.)

Full Keyboard

Detects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way
similar to Fingered, even if you split the notes between your left and
right hands — for example, playing a bass note with your left hand
and a chord with your right, or by playing a chord with your left
hand and a melody note with your right.

AI Fingered

Basically the same as Fingered, with the exception that less than
three notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the
previously played chord, etc.).

AI Full
Keyboard

When this advanced fingering type is engaged, the instrument will
automatically create appropriate accompaniment while you play
just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard using both hands.
You don’t have to worry about specifying the Style chords. Although
the AI Full Keyboard type is designed to work with many songs,
some arrangements may not be suitable for use with this feature.
This type is similar to Full Keyboard, with the exception that less
than three notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the
previously played chord, etc.). 9th, 11th and 13th chords cannot be
played. This type is available only for Style playback.

Song Playback
– Playing and Practice Songs –
For the Clavinova, “Song” refers to MIDI or audio data which include preset songs, commercially available music files,
etc. Not only can you play back a Song and listen to it, but you can also play the keyboard along with Song playback.
There are two kinds of Songs that can be recorded and played back on this instrument: MIDI Songs and Audio Songs.

• MIDI Song
A MIDI Song is comprised of your keyboard performance information and is not a recording of the actual sound itself.
The performance information refers to which keys are played, at what timing, and at what strength — just as in a
musical score. Based on the recorded performance information, the tone generator (of the Clavinova, etc.) outputs the
corresponding sound. Since MIDI Song data contains the information such as keyboard part and Voice, you can
practice effectively by viewing the score, turning the particular part on or off, or changing Voices.

• Audio Song
An Audio Song is a recording of the performed sound itself. This data is recorded in the same way as that used in
recording cassette tapes, or with voice recorders, etc. You can play commercially available music on this instrument (as
long as the files have been converted to WAV or MP3 format), just like you do on a portable music player.
Availability of functions differs between MIDI Songs and Audio Songs. In this chapter, the following icons indicate
whether or not the explanation applies to MIDI Songs or Audio Songs individually.
Example:

Song Recording
– Recording Your Performance –
This instrument allows you to record your performance in the following two methods.

• MIDI recording
With this method, recorded performances are saved to the instrument or a USB flash memory as an SMF (format 0)
MIDI file. If you want to re-record a specific section or edit parameters such as Voice, use this method. Also if you want
to record your performance to each channel one by one, execute Multi Track Recording of the MIDI recording method.
Since a MIDI Song can be converted to an Audio Song after recording (page 70), you may want to use MIDI recording
(with overdubbing and multiple parts) to first create a complex arrangement you would not otherwise be able to play
live, then convert it to an Audio Song. This instrument allows you to record approximately 300 KB per Song.

• Audio recording
With this method, recorded performances are saved to a USB flash memory as an Audio file. Recording is done without
designating the recorded part. Since it is saved in stereo WAV format of normal CD quality resolution (44.1kHz/16bit)
by default, it can be transmitted to and played on portable music players by using a computer. The file format can be
changed to MP3 via [Menu] → [SongSetting] → [Rec] → [Audio Rec Format]. This instrument allows you to record up to
80 minutes per single recording.

Basic Procedure for Recording (MIDI/Audio
Recording)
Before recording, make the necessary settings such as Voice/Style selection (for MIDI
recording and Audio Recording) and the microphone connection (only for Audio
Recording, if you want to record your vocal). As necessary, connect the USB flash
memory to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal, especially if you want to execute Audio
Recording.

NOTE
Before using a USB flash
memory, be sure to read
“Connecting USB Devices” on
page 88.

Before starting Audio Recording:
Recorded data via Audio can only be saved to USB flash memory. If you want to execute Audio
Recording, make sure to connect the USB flash memory beforehand.

Recording to Specified Channels (MIDI Recording)
With MIDI Recording, you can create a MIDI Song consisting of 16 channels by
recording your performance to each channel one by one. In recording a piano piece, for
example, you can record the right-hand part to channel 1 then record the left-hand part
to channel 2, allowing you create a complete piece which may be difficult to play live
with both hands together. To record a performance with Style playback, for example,
record the Style playback to channels 9 – 16, then record melodies to channel 1 while
listening to the already recorded Style playback. In this way, you can create an entire
Song which would otherwise be difficult, or even impossible, to play live.

If you want to re-record an existing MIDI Song, select the desired Song
(steps 1 – 2 on page 57).
If you want to record from scratch, skip this step.

Troubleshooting
Overall
A click or pop is heard when the power is
turned on or off.

Electrical current is being applied to the instrument. This is normal.

The power is automatically turned off.

This is normal and due to the Auto Power Off function. If necessary, set the
parameter of the Auto Power Off function (page 15).

Noise is heard from the instrument’s
speakers.

Noise may be heard if a mobile phone is used near the instrument or if the
phone is ringing. Turn off the mobile phone, or use it further away from the
instrument.

In the LCD, there are some specific points
that are always lit or unlit.

These are the result of defective pixels and occasionally occur in TFTLCDs; they do not indicate a problem in operation.

Noise is heard from the instrument’s
speakers or headphones when using the
instrument with the application on iPhone/
iPad.

When you use the instrument along with the application on your iPhone/
iPad, we recommend that you set “Airplane Mode” to “ON” on your
iPhone/iPad in order to avoid noise caused by communication.

Mechanical noise is heard during
performance.

The keyboard mechanism of this instrument simulates the keyboard
mechanism of an actual piano. Mechanical noise is also heard on a piano.

There is a slight difference in sound quality
among different notes played on the
keyboard.

This is normal and is a result of the instrument’s sampling system.

Some Voices have a looping sound.
Some noise or vibrato is noticeable at higher
pitches, depending upon the Voice.
The overall volume is too low or no sound is
heard.

The master volume may be set too low. Set it to an appropriate level with
the [MASTER VOLUME] dial.
All keyboard parts are set to off. On the Home display, touch [Main]/
[Layer]/[Left] to turn on the part (page 42).
The volume of the individual parts may be set too low. Raise the volume in
the Balance display (page 38).
Make sure the desired channel is set to on (page 83).
Headphones are connected, disabling the speaker output. Unplug the
headphones.
Make sure that the “Speaker” is set to “On” from [Menu]  [Utility] 
[Speaker/Connectivity].

The sound is distorted or noisy.

Troubleshooting

102

The volume may be turned up too high. Make sure all relevant volume
settings are appropriate.
This may be caused by certain effects or filter resonance settings. Check
the effect or filter settings and change them accordingly in the Mixer
display, referring to the Reference Manual on the website.

Not all simultaneously played notes sound.

You are probably exceeding the maximum polyphony (page 106) of the
instrument. When the maximum polyphony is exceeded, the earliest
played notes will stop sounding, letting the latest played notes sound.

The keyboard volume is lower than the Song/
Style playback volume.

The volume of the keyboard parts may be set too low. Raise the keyboard
volume (Main/Layer/Left), or lower the Song/Style volume in the Balance
display (page 38).

Some characters of the file/folder name are
garbled.

The language settings have been changed. Set the appropriate language
for the file/folder name (page 16).

CVP-609/605 Owner’s Manual

Overall
An existing file is not shown on the display.

The file extension (.MID, etc.) may have been changed or deleted.
Manually rename the file on a computer, adding the appropriate
extension.
Data files with names of more than 50 characters cannot be handled by
the instrument. Rename the file, reducing the number of characters to 50
or less.

Voice
The Voice selected from the Voice Selection
display does not sound.

Check whether or not the selected part is turned on (page 42).

A strange “flanging” or “doubling” sound
occurs. The sound is slightly different each
time the keys are played.

The Main and Layer parts are set to on, and both parts are set to play the
same Voice. Turn off the Layer part or change the Voice of one of the
parts.

Some Voices will jump an octave in pitch
when played in the upper or lower registers.

This is normal. Some Voices have a pitch limit which, when reached,
causes this type of pitch shift.

Style
The Style does not start even when the
[START/STOP] button is pressed.

The Rhythm channel of the selected Style may not contain any data. Turn
the [ACMP ON/OFF] button on and play in the left-hand section on the
keyboard to sound the accompaniment part of the Style.

Only the rhythm channel plays;
accompaniment sounds are not heard.

Make sure the Auto Accompaniment function is turned on; press the
[ACMP ON/OFF] button.
You may be playing keys in the right hand range of the keyboard. Make
sure to play keys in the chord section of the keyboard.

Styles in a USB flash memory cannot be
selected.

If the size of the Style data is large (about 120 KB or greater), the Style
cannot be selected because the data is too large to be read by the
instrument.

Song
Songs cannot be selected.

This may be because the language settings have been changed. Set the
appropriate language for the Song file name (page 16).
If the size of the Song data is large (about 300 KB or greater), the Song
cannot be selected because the data is too large to be read by the
instrument.
The Song has been stopped at the end of the Song data. Return to the
beginning of the Song by pressing the SONG CONTROL [STOP] button.
In the case of a Song to which write-protect has been applied, there are
some restrictions and playback may not be possible. For details, refer to
page 33.

(MIDI)
Song playback stops before the Song is
finished.

The Guide function is turned on. (In this case, playback is “waiting” for the
correct key to be played.) Turn off the Guide function (page 63).

(MIDI)
The measure number is different from that of
the score in the Song Position display, shown
by pressing the [REW]/[FF] buttons.

This happens when playing back music data for which a specific, fixed
tempo is set.

(MIDI)
When playing back a Song, some channels
do not play.

Playback of these channels may be set to off. Turn playback on for those
channels that are set to off (page 83).

CVP-609/605 Owner’s Manual

Troubleshooting

Song playback does not start.

103

Song
(MIDI)
The Guide lamps do not light during Song
playback, even after turning on the Guide
function.

Any notes outside of the 88-key range cannot be indicated by the Guide
lamps.

(MIDI)
The Guide lamps light an octave or two lower/
higher than the actual pitch.

The Guide lamps sometimes light an octave or two lower/higher than the
actual pitch depending on the selected Voice.

(MIDI)
The tempo, beat, measure and music notation
is not displayed correctly.

Some Song data for the instrument has been recorded with special “free
tempo” settings. For such Song data, the tempo, beat, measure and
music notation will not be displayed correctly.

A “USB memory is unavailable” message
appeared, and then the recording was
aborted.

Make sure to use a compatible USB flash memory (page 88).
Make sure that the USB flash memory has enough memory (page 89).
If you are using a USB flash memory to which data has already been
recorded, check first that no important data remains on the device, then
format it (page 89) and try recording again.

The Song playback volume differs depending
on the selected Song.

The volume of MIDI Songs and Audio Songs are set independently. Adjust
the volume in the Balance display (page 38) after selecting a Voice.

Microphone
The microphone input signal cannot be
recorded.

The microphone input signal cannot be recorded by MIDI recording.
Record by Audio recording (page 66).

Harmony can be heard in addition to the
microphone sound.

Vocal Harmony is set to “On.” Turn Vocal Harmony off (page 72).

The Vocal Harmony effect sounds distorted or
out-of-tune.

Your vocal microphone may be picking up extraneous sounds, such as
the Style sound from the instrument. In particular, bass sounds can cause
mistracking of Vocal Harmony. To remedy this:
• Sing as closely to the microphone as possible.
• Use a unidirectional microphone.
• Turn down the Master volume, or adjust the volume balance on the
Balance display (page 38).

The Vocal Harmony effect is not applied even
when it is turned on.

In the Chordal mode, Vocal Harmony is added only when chords are
detected. Try one of the following:
• Turn on the [ACMP ON/OFF] button and play chords in the chord
section during Style playback.
• Turn on the Left part and play chords in the left hand section.
• Play back a Song which contains chords.
• Set the “Stop ACMP” parameter to something other than “Disabled” via
[Menu]  [StyleSetting]  [Setting]. For details, refer to the Reference
Manual on the website.

Mixer
Troubleshooting

104

The sound seems strange or different than
expected when changing a rhythm Voice
(drum kit, etc.) of the Style or Song from the
Mixer.

CVP-609/605 Owner’s Manual

When changing the rhythm/percussion Voices (drum kits, etc.) of the Style
and Song from the VOICE parameter, the detailed settings related to the
drum voice are reset, and in some cases you may be unable to restore the
original sound. In the case of Song playback, you can restore the original
sound by returning to the beginning of the Song and playing back from
that point. In the case of Style play, you can restore the original sound by
selecting the same Style again.

Pedal/AUX Pedal
The damper, sostenuto and soft functions do
not work for the relevant pedals.

The pedal cord plug is not connected. Securely insert the pedal cord plug
into the proper jack (pages 94, 97, 100).
Make sure that each pedal is properly assigned to “Sustain,” “Sostenuto”
and “Soft” (page 35).

The on/off setting of the footswitch
connected to the [AUX PEDAL] jack is
reversed.

Turn the instrument’s power off, then turn it on again without pressing the
footswitch, or change the Polarity parameter from [Menu]  [Assignable]
 [Pedal].

AUX IN jack
The output volume of the external device connected to this instrument is
too low. Increase the output volume of the external device. The volume
level reproduced via this instrument’s speakers can be adjusted by using
the [MASTER VOLUME] control.
The Noise Gate function may be cutting the soft sounds. If this happens,
turn off the “AUX In Noise Gate” parameter (page 85).

Troubleshooting

Sound input to the [AUX IN] jack is
interrupted.
