MIDI Functions
MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a world-standard communication interface that allows
MIDI-compatible musical instruments and equipment to share musical information and control one another.
This makes it possible to create “systems” of MIDI instruments and equipment that offer far greater versatility
and control than is available with isolated instruments.
The Clavinova has 13 MIDI functions that are accessed by pressing the appropriate VOICE selector while
holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. The MIDI functions accessed by the various VOICE selectors are
shown in the following chart:

1. Send Channel Select PIANO
2. Receive Channel Select CLAVINOVA TONE
3. Local ON/OFF E. PIANO

5. Control Change ON/OFF VIBES

The available settings and procedure for each MIDI function are described below.
NOTES
• Always use a high-quality MIDI cable to connect MIDI OUT to MIDI IN terminals.
Never use MIDI cables longer than about 15 meters, since cables longer than this
can pick up noise which can cause data errors.
• When using the Clavinova with other MIDI equipment, always refer to the MIDI
specifications (implementation chart and MIDI data format) of the equipment used
to ensure compatibility.
■ Send and Receive Channel Select
In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched for
proper data transfer (there are 16 MIDI channels). An “OMNI” receive mode is also available, which allows reception on
all 16 MIDI channels. In the OMNI mode it is not necessary to match the receive channel of the receiving device to the
transmit channel of the transmitting device.
ZHold [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] and press [PIANO] to set the send channel or
[CLAVINOVA TONE] to set the receive channel.
XUse TEMPO [▲] and [▼] buttons to select the desired channel (the selected
channel number is shown on the TEMPO display — the OMNI ON receive
mode is indicated by “ALL” on the display).
CRelease [MIDI/TRANSPOSE].
NOTES
• When the power is initially turned ON, MIDI receive is set to the OMNI ON mode
and the transmit channel is set to 1.
