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.
