Selecting & Playing Voices
Selecting Voices
Select the desired voice by pressing one of the [VOICE] buttons.
Then, when you start playing, re-adjust the [MASTER VOLUME] control for the most
comfortable listening level.
Using the Pedals
The Clavinova has three foot pedals that produce a range
of expressive effects similar to those produced by the
pedals on an acoustic piano.
Damper (Right) Pedal
The damper pedal functions in the same way as a
damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the damper
pedal is pressed, notes sustain longer. Releasing the pedal
immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes.
When you select the
GRAND PIANO 1 voice on the CLP-
130, pressing the damper pedal activates the instrument’s
special “Sustain Samples” to accurately recreate the
unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s sound-
board and strings.

Procedure
TIP
To learn characteristics of the
voices, listen to demo songs for
each voice (page 16). Refer to
“Preset Voice List” on page 63
for more information on the
characteristics of each preset
voice.
TERMINOLOGY
Voice:
On the Clavinova, a voice
means a “tone” or “tonal color.”
TIP
You can control the loudness of
a voice by adjusting the force
with which you strike the keys,
although different playing styles
(touch sensitivities) have little or
no effect with certain musical
instruments.
Refer to “Preset Voice List” on
page 63.
NOTE
If the damper pedal doesn’t
work, make sure that the pedal
cord is properly plugged into the
main unit (page 61: CLP-130,
page 58: CLP-120).
TIP
The depth of the effect pro-
duced by the “Sustain Samples”
can be adjusted via the “Pedal
Functions” (page 44) in Func-
tion mode.
When you press the damper
pedal here, the notes you
play before you release the
pedal have a longer sustain.
