Pitch control makes it possible to tune the Clavinova over a ±50-cent range (approximate) in
approximately 1.2-cent or 1-hertz intervals. A hundred “cents” equals one semitone, so the tuning
range provided allows fine tuning of overall pitch over a range of approximately a semitone. Pitch
control is useful for tuning the Clavinova to match other instruments or recorded music.
Pitch Control
● Tuning Up ................................................................................................................................................
ZTo tune up (raise pitch), hold the A-1 and B-1 keys simultaneously (A-1 and B-
1 are the two lowest white keys on the keyboard) and press any key between C3
and B3. Each time a key in this range is pressed the pitch is raised by approxi-
mately 1.2 cents, up to a maximum of about 50 cents above standard pitch. To
raise the pitch in 1-hertz increments press the TEMPO [▲] button instead of
the C3-B3 keys. The TEMPO [▼] button can also be used to tune down while
the A-1 and B-1 keys are held.
XRelease the A-1 and B-1 keys.
● Tuning Down ...........................................................................................................................................
ZTo tune down (lower pitch), hold the A-1 and A#-1 keys simultaneously and
press any key between C3 and B3. Each time a key in this range is pressed the
pitch is lowered by approximately 1.2 cents, up to a maximum of about 50 cents
below standard pitch. To lower the pitch in 1-hertz increments press the
TEMPO [▼] button instead of the C3-B3 keys. The TEMPO [▲] button can
also be used to tune up while the A-1 and A#-1 keys are held.
XRelease the A-1 and A#-1 keys.

● To Restore Standard Pitch* ...................................................................................................................
ZTo restore standard pitch (A3 = 440 Hz), hold the A-1, A#-1, and B-1 keys si-
multaneously and press any key between C3 and B3, or simultaneously press
the TEMPO [▲] and [▼] buttons.
XRelease the A-1, A#-1, and B-1 keys.
* Standard pitch (A3 = 440 Hz) is automatically set whenever the POWER
switch is initially turned on.
NOTES
• The PITCH function does not affect the DRUMS sound.
• Hold either the TEMPO [
s
] or [
t
] button for continuous scrolling in the specified
direction.
■ The Pitch Display
The approximate pitch of A3 is shown on the display in Hertz while the pitch
control function is in operation. The total display range is from approximately 427
hertz (-50 cents) to 453 hertz (+50 cents).
