Welcome to the digital part
When you bring a Clavinova into your home, you bring so much more than an
acoustic piano has to offer. Of course, Yamahas Clavinovas offer all the touch
response and beautifully rich, detailed piano sound you want. Plus a great deal
more, including a full orchestra of superb quality digitally sampled
instruments, and a whole host of advanced auto accompaniment features. Whats
more, you get all the convenience of a digital instrument: no need for costly
tuning, greater portability, and you can use headphones, so you can play any
time you like without disturbing the family or your neighbors.
If youre going to study theres no place like home
The Clavinova features a truly extensive learning support Mk system
including guide lamps over the keyboard. Right from day one, the kids-or even
grandad can learn by playing real music instead of practice pieces, making it
fun and enjoyable to study. Theres even a built-in recorder so you can record
your performance an see how youre doing, and save it to floppy disk to build
up a continuing progress report.
Build up your own library of music software
Yamaha offers an enormous library of music software for study, karaoke,
playalong or just playback enjoyment. Pick up a song file data disk and enjoy
minus-one playback that lets you step into the spotlight and solo in front of a
full orchestra. Or load a style data disk, and add more auto accompaniment
styles. No matter what kind of music you like, or at what level you play,
theres sure to be just the title for you. From classical to rock, pop to
ethnic, the list is almost endless.
Plug in to some singalong fun
Pop a karaoke floppy disk into the drive and youve got your own home
karaoke center. Song lyrics are displayed on-screen, so the entire family can
get together for real singalong entertainment. Whats more, you can even get
some other instruments out (maybe dads old guitar!) and play along with the
songs for a whole new style of karaoke experience.
XG opens up even more music
XG is Yamahas revolutionary extension of the General MIDI format.
Naturally, it contains all of the GM standard, so you have complete
compatibility with commercially available GM software. And it goes a lot
further, to include a huge set of additional voices -a minimum of three effects
processors with many effects types -MIDI control of analog inputs allowing
processing of, for example, microphone inputs to create vocal harmonies
-extensive control of other parameters for real-time sound shaping Whats more,
theres also a vast selection of XG song software available. And if youre
connected to the internet, you can tap into an incredible variety of XG
resources. Why not visit some of these websites:

Connect to your PC and add extra power
Handy one cord connection to your Windows or Macintosh computer adds a whole
new dimension of power to the Clavinova. For example, you can use commercially
available sequencing software, such as Yamahas XGworks, to create truly
complex and advanced performances. Or you can use notation software to create
sheet music for the compositions you create. Theres almost no limit to what
you can do.
