Play the voices.
Naturally, you can play the voice yourself from the keyboard, but you can also
have the Clavinova demonstrate the voice for you. Simply press the [8

from the display above, and a Demo of the voice plays automatically.
Playing Two Voices Simultaneously

turn the LAYER part on.

Press the [G] button to select the LAYER part.

Select a voice group.
Here, we’ll select a lush pad to fill out the sound. Call up the “CHOIR & PAD” group.

Select a voice.
For example, select “Hah Choir.”

Play the voices.
Now, you can play two different voices together in a
rich sounding layer — the MAIN voice you selected in
the previous section, plus the new LAYER voice you’ve
selected here.
And that’s just the beginning. Check out these other voice-related features:
• Instant setup of the Clavinova for piano play — with the press of a single button (page 56).
• Create your own original voices — quickly and easily — by changing the settings of existing voices (page 88).
• Set up your favorite panel settings — including voices, styles, and more — and call them up whenever you need
them (page 85).

There’s more to the Demo features
than just voices, though–for more
