  • Page 22: Control Change On/Off

    Control Change ON/OFF 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.
