One-Hand Practice with Piano Songs
Each piano song has its left-hand and right-hand parts recorded on separate tracks: the right-hand part in
Track [1], and the left-hand part in Track [2]. This makes it possible for you to switch off either part at any
time. This feature is ideal for one-handed practice: just switch off one of the parts, then play the missing
notes yourself in accompaniment with the other part.

Procedure
1
Switch off the part that you want to play by yourself.
After selecting a piano song as described above, simply press [1] or
[2] to mute (switch off) the right or left part.
When you switch off the track, the indicator above the track button
goes off. (When you first select the song, both indicators will be on.)
• You can toggle each part OFF and ON by pressing the track button as
needed.
2
Start playback and begin practice.
Press [START/STOP] to begin playback. Play the muted part yourself,
for practice.
Synchronous start
You can set up one-part
playback so that it begins
precisely when you strike
the keyboard. To select this
feature, hold down the track
button that you have set ON
(either [1] or [2]) and press
[START/STOP]. This sets the instrument into SYNCHRO START mode.
Playback of the selected part will then begin when you hit a key on the
keyboard.
When you select SYNCHRO START, a corresponding marking
appears at the center of the display.
Using the left pedal as a START/STOP switch.
You can set the left pedal to operate in the same way as the [START/
STOP] button, so that you can start and stop playback without using your
hands. Left-pedal operation is determined by function F9; see page 33 for
details.

Stopping the playback
The Clavinova automatically prompts for new song selection when
playback is finished. You can stop the song while playback is in progress
by pressing the [START/STOP] button.
Parts cannot be switched off
during continuous (“ALL” or
“RND”) playback.
Switching parts ON/OFF
during playback...
The [1] and [2] buttons can be
used to switch tracks on and off
even while playback is in
progress.
Adjusting the volume of the
muted part...
After switching off a part, you
may notice that you can still hear
it sounding in the background at
low volume. This sound is
intentionally left to provide a
timing guide for your practice.
You are free to adjust its volume,
or to switch it off entirely, by
using function F12. See page 34
for details.
