The Clavinova has “32-note polyphony” which

means you can normally play up to 32 notes at once.
This number varies, however, according to the func-
tions being used, as shown in the chart below:

The Keyboard & Polyphony

Keyboard only

32 notes.

Keyboard only (dual)

16 notes.

Keyboard + rhythm

24 notes (rhythm uses 8).

Keyboard (dual) + rhythm

12 notes

Keyboard + ABC

12 notes (rhythm 8; ABC 12).

Keyboard (dual) + ABC

6 notes

● The number of available notes is further reduced if the dual

mode or the performance memory is being played at the
same time. Further variation occurs with “1-layer” and “2-
layer” voices: the polyphony is halved with 2-layer voices.

The Clavinova also offers keyboard touch response, so the
volume and timbre of notes played can be controlled ac-
cording to how “hard” you play the keys. The amount of
variation available depends on the selected voice.

The follwing voices are 2-layer:

• No. 31

SYNTH WOOD

• No. 56

JAZZ ORGAN 2

• No. 58

COSMIC 1

• No. 60

COSMIC 3

Pan

Each voice has a preset pan setting (indicated by “P d ” on
the TEMPO display) which is automatically set when the
power is first turned on.

NOTES

• The “

P d

” keyboard scale pan default for some voices places the treble-

register sound to the right and the bass-register sound to the left. Using
a different PAN setting places the entire voice, low and high notes in-
cluded, at the same position.

• The DRUMS voice has a preset PAN setting which cannot be changed.

● The pan (stereo) position of the voice played on the key-

board can be adjusted by moving the RHYTHM volume
control while holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
The pan position is shown on the TEMPO display, from
“PL6” for full left at the “MIN” control position, through
“P c ” for center, to “Pr6” for full right at the “MAX
control position. This can be used to produce a broader en-
semble sound with the Performance Memory multitrack
recording feature.
