Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI control change data received from an external MIDI device or
keyboard, causing the selected Clavinova voice to be affected by pedal and other “control” settings received
from the controlling device. The Clavinova also transmits MIDI control change information when one of its
pedals are operated.
This function makes it possible to cancel control change data reception and transmission if you do not want
the Clavinova voices to be affected by control change data received from an external device or vice versa.

Press the [CLAVINOVA TONE] voice selector. If the CLAVINOVA
TONE LED is lit when the [CLAVINOVA TONE] voice selector is

The Multi-Timbre mode is a special mode in which the Clavinova voices
can be independently controlled on different MIDI channel numbers (1
through 10) by an external MIDI device such as the Yamaha DRC-20 Disk
Recorder. The Multi-Timbre mode can be activated as follows:
Z
Hold down the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.

Press the [E. PIANO] voice selector. If the E. PIANO LED is lit when
the [E. PIANO] voice selector is pressed, you have turned the Multi-
Timbre mode ON. If the E. PIANO LED is not lit when the [E. PI-
ANO] voice selector is pressed, you have turned the Multi-Timbre
mode OFF.

A Multi-timbre Example
Here’s an example of how you could use the Multi-Timbre mode to
record two different parts on the DRC-20 Disk Recorder that will play dif-
ferent voices on the Clavinova when played back.
Z
Connect the DRC-20 to the Clavinova as shown to the left.
X
Activate the Clavinova Multi-Timbre mode.
C
Set the DRC-20 track 1 to record.
V
Select a voice and record the first part on the DRC-20.
B
Set the DRC-20 track 2 to record.
N
Select a voice and record the second part on the DRC-20.
M
Still in the Multi-Timbre mode, play back the DRC-20. The recorded
parts will be played back using the individual voices selected during
recording, providing a full ensemble sound.
