PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
Please keep this manual in a safe and handy place for future reference.

WARNING
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
over and cause a fire.

• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage
is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
• Use only the supplied power cord/plug.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have
accumulated on it.

If you notice any abnormality
• When one of the following problems occur, immediately turn off the power switch
and disconnect the electric plug from the outlet. Then have the device inspected
by Yamaha service personnel.
- The power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged.
- It emits unusual smells or smoke.

Do not open

- Some object has been dropped into the instrument.
- There is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument.

• This instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not open the instrument
or attempt to disassemble or modify the internal components in any way. If it
should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

Water warning
• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet
conditions, or place on it any containers (such as vases, bottles or glasses)
containing liquids which might spill into any openings. If any liquid such as

CVP-709/CVP-705 Owner’s Manual

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

Connections

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

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

Handling caution
Assembly

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
• 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.

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 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.

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

Using the bench (If included)
• 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.
• For benches that can be adjusted, do not adjust the bench height while sitting on
the bench, since this can cause excessive force to be imposed on the adjustment
mechanism, possibly resulting in damage to the mechanism or even injury.
• If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten them
periodically using the specified tool in order to prevent the possibility of accident
or injury.
• 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.

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.

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 an application on your iPhone, iPad or iPod
touch, we recommend that you set “Airplane Mode” to “ON” on that device 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

 Maintenance
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft and dry/slightly damp cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, alcohol, cleaning fluids,
or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
• In the case of 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.
• 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.

 Saving data
• Recorded Song and edited Song/Style/Voice/MIDI setup data, etc. are lost when you turn off the power to the instrument. This also
occurs when the power is turned off by the Auto Power Off function (page 19). Save the data to the instrument, or to USB flash
drive (page 33).
• You can back up the data and settings of this instrument to the USB flash drive as a backup file (page 43), as well as restore a backup
file to the instrument. To protect against data loss due to some failure, an operation mistake, etc., save your important data to a USB
flash drive (page 43).
• For information about the handling of USB flash drives, refer to page 97.
• To protect against data loss through USB flash drive damage, we recommend that you save your important data onto spare USB
flash drive or an external device such as a computer as backup data.

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.

CVP-709/CVP-705 Owner’s Manual

Welcome to the World of CVP!
This new CVP model is equipped with a convenient touch screen, enabling visual and intuitive control over virtually all
instrument functions. Simply by touching this large and easy-to-see display, you can select desired items, enable and
control various features, or edit parameter values—with greater ease and speed than ever before!
Welcome to the World of CVP!

The instrument also has many advanced features that enhance your musical enjoyment and expand your creative and
performance possibilities. Let’s take a look…

True Acoustic Piano Feel
This instrument features gorgeous piano Voices, created with
samples of the Yamaha CFX flagship concert grand piano and the
famous Bösendorfer* concert grand piano, as well as a special
keyboard to fully reproduce the natural touch response and
expressive nuances of an actual concert grand piano, including rapid
repetitive capability. Moreover, the instrument features a VRM
function which accurately recreates the acoustic resonance of a
grand piano, which changes subtly by the timing and strength of the
player’s touch and pedal operation. This enables expression of even
the most delicate performance nuances and responds minutely to
your pedal use and key playing.
The new Piano Room features provide even greater piano
performance enjoyment. Piano Room lets you select the desired
piano type as well as different room ambiences—enabling a
complete, realistic piano experience, as if you were playing an actual
piano. What’s more, you can play along with other virtual “session”
players, and enjoy a convincing band-like performance experience
with other musical instruments.
* Bösendorfer is a subsidiary company of Yamaha.

Play in Various Music Genres
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, including organ, guitar, sax, and others used in many music
genres—letting you convincingly perform in any desired music style. 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 53

Full Backing Band Accompaniment
Even if you’re playing alone, the CVP can put an entire backing
band behind you! Simply playing chords automatically triggers
and controls the auto accompaniment backing (Style function).
Select an accompaniment Style—such as pop, jazz, Latin, and
various other music genres in the world—and let the Clavinova be
your complete backing band! 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.

CVP-709/CVP-705 Owner’s Manual

Moreover, special Audio Styles (CVP-709 only) have been provided, which feature audio recordings of studio musicians
playing in various recording studios worldwide. This adds all the natural feel, ambience and warmth to the drums and
percussion of the Style, giving your performance greater expressive potential.

Enjoyable Song Lesson Features—with Score Display and Guide Lamps
The Lesson features are a fun way to learn and master Songs,
with notation shown on the display. Moreover, each key of the
keyboard has a Guide lamp, which lights to indicate the notes
to be played, letting you practice melodies and phrases
smoothly—even if you are a beginner or have trouble reading
notation.

Welcome to the World of CVP!

Sing Along with Song Playback or Your Own Performance
Since a microphone can be connected to the Clavinova and
Song lyrics can be shown on the display, you can enjoy singing
along with your keyboard performance or along with Song
playback. Moreover, a powerful Vocal Harmony effect
automatically applies lush, authentic sounding vocal
harmonies to your singing voice. You can also cancel the vocal
part on audio recordings, letting you sing along with (or
instead of!) your favorite artists and groups, and enjoy
performing even more.

Using the Pedals

Soft Pedal
Sostenuto Pedal

Damper Pedal

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 104, 107,
110).

 Damper Pedal (Right)
Pressing this pedal sustains notes. Releasing this pedal immediately stops
(damps) any sustained notes. Pressing this pedal while you play a VRM Voice
(page 52) recreates the characteristic string resonance of a real acoustic piano.
A “half-pedal” function of this pedal creates partial sustain effects, depending
on how far down you press the pedal.
NOTE

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

• 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.

Half-pedal function
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).

CVP-709/CVP-705 Owner’s Manual

GP Responsive Damper Pedal (CVP-709 only)
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 (page 9).
NOTE
The pedals are fitted with covers when shipped from the factory. Remove the cover from the pedals for optimum use of the GP
Responsive Damper Pedal’s effect.

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 left 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 (page 9).

Basic Operations

 Sostenuto Pedal (Center)

Assigning a function to each pedal
Various functions can be assigned to each of the three pedals and a foot controller/footswitch (sold separately) —
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 (page 9).

Basic Operations

Press the TEMPO [-] or [+] button to call up the Tempo pop-up display.
Use the TEMPO [-]/[+] buttons to decrease or increase the tempo over a
range of 5 – 500 beats per minute. Holding down either button changes
the value continuously. Pressing both TEMPO [-] and [+] buttons calls up
the default tempo of the last selected Style or Song.
When you select an Audio Style (CVP-709 only; page 57), the upper limit of the tempo will be shown below
the tempo value. The Audio part is muted if the tempo is over the upper limit.

 [TAP TEMPO] button
During playback of a Style or MIDI Song, you can change the tempo by tapping the [TAP TEMPO] button
twice at the desired tempo. When Style and Song are stopped, tapping the [TAP TEMPO] button (four
times for a 4/4 time signature) starts playback of the rhythm part of the Style at the tempo you tapped.

Adjusting the Volume Balance

Basic Operations

From the Balance display called up via [Menu] → [Balance], you can adjust the volume balance among the
keyboard parts (Main, Layer, Left), the Style, the Song, the microphone sound, and the sound input via
[AUX IN] jack. Slide your finger vertically for each part to adjust the volume. You can also adjust the
volume balance of sound input via the USB wireless LAN adaptor, if one is connected.
Since the volume of MIDI Songs and Audio Songs are handled individually, you need to set the volume
balance for each case (when a MIDI Song is selected, or when an Audio Song is selected).
NOTE
A USB wireless LAN adaptor may not be included depending on your area.

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).

Maintaining the Left Voice (even when releasing the keys)
When the Left Hold function is set to “On,” the Left Voice is held even when the keys are released ([Menu]
→ [Keyboard] → [Setting]). Non-decaying 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.

Calling up the default Piano Settings (Piano Reset)
When you turn the power on, the Voice is set to “CFX Grand” allowing you to play the instrument as a
piano across the entire keyboard. No matter what settings you’ve made from the panel, you can instantly
call up these default settings.
NOTE
This function cannot be used while the Piano Room display (page 44) or the Piano Lock display (page below) is shown.

Piano Lock Function
You can “lock” the panel settings to the default Piano settings instantly, no matter what settings you’ve
made from the panel. Once locked, the instrument stays in the default settings of Piano, even if other
buttons are pressed — only allowing you to play the keyboard, use the pedals, or adjust the master volume.
In other words, Piano Lock prevents you from accidentally selecting and playing another sound during
your piano performance.

CVP-709/CVP-705 Owner’s Manual

Playing Realistic Resonance-enhanced Piano Sounds (VRM Voices)
On an actual acoustic piano, if you press the damper pedal and play a key, not only does the string of the
pressed key vibrate, it also causes other strings and the soundboard to vibrate, with each influencing the
rest, creating a rich and brilliant resonance that sustains and spreads. The VRM (Virtual Resonance
Modeling) technology featured in the instrument reproduces the complicated interaction of both string
and soundboard resonance faithfully using a virtual musical instrument (physical modeling), and makes
the sound more like a real acoustic piano. Since instantaneous resonance is made at the moment according
to the state of the keyboard or pedal, you can vary the sound expressively by changing the timing of your
pressing the keys, and the timing and depth of your pressing the pedal. The default setting of this function
is on. An icon ( ) is shown at the left side of the Voice name of a VRM Voice on the Voice Selection
display. Simply by selecting a VRM Voice, you can enjoy the VRM effect.
You can turn the VRM function on or off, and adjust the depth. ([Menu] → [Voice Setting] → [Piano] → 1/2

CVP-709/CVP-705 Owner’s Manual

Playing Super Articulation Voices
The Super Articulation Voices (S.Art Voices and S.Art2 Voices) enable you to create subtle, very realistic
musical expressions, simply by how you play. The icons / are shown on the left side of the voice name
of Super Articulation Voices (S.Art, S.Art2) on the Voice Selection display.

 S.Art Voices
The S.Art 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 play a C note and then the E just above in a very legato but firm way, the pitch
slides up from C to E.

 S.Art2 Voices (CVP-709 only)
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.
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 B above, you’ll hear a glissando up to the B .
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 an S.Art or S.Art2 Voice to the Main part, the function of the center or/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 S.Art2 Voice is selected, 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.

Voices – Playing the Keyboard –

NOTE

• If you want to lock the pedal function regardless of the Voice, turn off the Switch With Main Voice parameter called up via [Menu] 
[Assignable]  [Pedal]  [Switch With Main Voice].
• If you assign the Articulation function to the ASSIGNABLE buttons (page 32), you can control articulation effects by using the
buttons instead of the pedals.

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

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.
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

•

: Audio Style (CVP-709 only)

The Audio Styles have been specially produced by adding audio recordings of studio musicians playing in various
recording studios worldwide. This adds all the natural feel, ambience and warmth to the drums and percussion of
the Style, giving your performance greater expressive potential. Specifically, it retains the subtle nuances and
grooves that are difficult to reproduce using the preset drum/percussion kit. Yamaha Time Stretch Technology
allows the audio to follow your tempo changes without changing pitch, so everything stays in perfect sync.
NOTE
•

•
•

Audio Styles may take more time to load than others.
If the tempo is set to over 160% of the default, the audio part is muted.
Audio Styles cannot be copied to USB flash drive. (Audio Styles can be copied only to User memory of the instrument.)
You can record your performance using an Audio Style when the method of Audio recording is in WAV format, it cannot be
recorded when in MP3 format. Also, if you record the song using MIDI recording, the audio part cannot be recorded. Refer to
page 75 for details. However, only in the Piano Room, the audio part can be recorded by using MIDI recording (page 47).

A Style generally consists of eight parts (channels): rhythm, bass, etc., although Audio Styles (CVP-709

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.

CVP-709/CVP-705 Owner’s Manual

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 Fingered

NOTE
Only in the Piano Room, your performance in the Chord section produces the sound of the
selected Voice as well as that of the accompaniment.

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.

NOTE
When the Fingering Type is set as “Fingered*”, it cannot be changed. Change the Chord Detection Area to “Lower” via
[Menu]  [Split&Fingering]  Page 2/2, and then change the Fingering Type.

For users who are unfamiliar with chords, this handy chart features common chords
for your quick reference. Since there are many useful chords and many different ways
to use them musically, refer to commercially available chord books for further details.

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. Audio Songs can be played back on portable
music players and many other devices, making it easy for you to let others hear what you have played.
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 drive as an SMF
(format 0) MIDI file. If you want to re-record a specific section or change Voices and edit other parameters,
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 81), 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 drive 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/16-bit) 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 drive to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal, especially if you want to
execute Audio Recording.
NOTE

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

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 19).

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 48).
The volume of the individual parts may be set too low. Raise the volume in
the Balance display (page 42).
Make sure the desired channel is set to on (page 93).
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 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 (page 9).

Not all simultaneously played notes sound.

You are probably exceeding the maximum polyphony (page 115) 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 42).

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 22).

display does not sound.

Check whether or not the selected part is turned on (page 48).

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.
Make sure to play keys in the chord section of the keyboard.

Styles in a USB flash drive 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 22).
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.

Song playback does not start.

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 37.

Troubleshooting

112

(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 70).

(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 93).

CVP-709/CVP-705 Owner’s Manual

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 message indicating the USB flash drive is
unavailable appears, and the recording is
aborted.

Make sure to use a compatible USB flash drive (page 97).
Make sure that the USB flash drive has enough memory (page 98).
If you are using a USB flash drive to which data has already been
recorded, check first that no important data remains on the device, then
format it (page 98) 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 42) after selecting a Voice.

Microphone
The microphone input signal cannot be
recorded.

The microphone input signal cannot be recorded by MIDI recording.
Record by using Audio recording (page 75).

Harmony can be heard in addition to the
microphone sound.

Vocal Harmony is set to “On.” Turn Vocal Harmony off (page 83).

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 42).

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 (page 9).

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

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. You can restore the original sound by selecting the same
Song or 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 103, 107, 110).
Make sure that each pedal is properly assigned to “Sustain,” “Sostenuto”
and “Soft” (page 38).

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].

The damper pedal does not function properly.

The power of the instrument may have been turned on while the damper
pedal was pressed. Press and release the damper pedal to restore proper
operation.

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

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 95).
