Page 21: Touch Sensitivity
Touch Sensitivity Four different types of keyboard touch sensitivity — HARD, MEDIUM, SOFT or FIXED — can be selected to match different playing styles and preferences. HARD MEDIUM SOFT TOUCH Transposition The Clavinova’s TRANSPOSE function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of 12 semitones (i.e.
Page 22: Tuning
Tuning Tuning makes it possible to adjust the pitch of the Clavinova over a 427.0 Hz … 453.0 Hz (corresponding to the A3 note’s Hz) range in approximately 0.2 Hertz intervals. Pitch control is useful for tuning the Clavinova to match other instruments or recorded music.
Page 23: The Metronome & Tempo Control
The Metronome & Tempo Control The Clavinova built-in metronome is a convenient feature for practice, and it can also provide a solid rhythmic guide when recording using the User Song Recorder feature, described in the next section.

Page 24: Using The User Song Recorder
Using the User Song Recorder The ability to record and play back what you’ve played on the Clavinova keyboard can be an effective practice aid. You can, for example, record just the left-hand part, and then practice the right-hand part while playing back the re- corded left-hand part.
Page 25: Start Recording
• The left pedal can be assigned to start and stop recording via the “Left Pedal Mode” function described on pages 31 (CLP-930) and 32 (CLP- 950). • If the metronome was on when you started recording, you’ll be able to keep time with the metronome while recording, but the metronome sound will not be recorded.
