■ 26: The Multi-Timbre Mode
The Multi-Timbre mode is a special mode in which the Clavinova voices can be independently controlled on different
MIDI channel numbers (1—15 in the CVP mode; 1—10,15, 16 in the DOC mode; 1—16 in the GM mode) by an external
MIDI device. The Multi-Timbre mode is off (SINGLE) when the power is initially turned on.

CVP Multi-track MIDI data received by the CVP-89 is played using the panel voice
assignments — i.e. the same voices selected by the panel controls.
DOC Multi-track MIDI data received by the CVP-89 is played using the Yamaha
DOC voice assignments. The panel voice assignments are not changed but
the transmitted data is converted to DOC voice assignments.
GM Multi-track MIDI data received by the CVP-89 is played using General MIDI
voice assignments. Transmitted data is also converted to GM voice assign-
ments. When this mode is selected the panel voices also conform to the GM
assignments (voices 1—128, drum kits 129—136).
NOTES
• See page vii, viii for listings of the voice assignments in each mode.
• The Dual, Split, internal Style, ABC, and Solo Style Play functions will not operate in
the DOC or GM mode.
• Either “DOC MODE” or “GM MODE” will appear on the display when you return to the
play mode.
● Recording with the GM Voices
If you press the Performance Memory [REC] button while the GM mode is en-
gaged, the [REC] indicator and the indicator of the last selected track will light
(red), and that track will be in the record ready mode. The remaining recording
procedure is the same as described on page 35.
NOTES
• If the selected song number already contains data that was not recorded in the GM
mode, “DATA NOT EDITABLE!” will appear on the display and recording will not be
possible. The reverse is also true: i.e. panel-voice data cannot be recorded to a song
that already contains GM-voice data.
• Internal styles cannot be recorded in the GM mode.
• Select a voice number between 129 and 136 to record a drum voice. When the
[RHYTHM] button is pressed voice number 129 will automatically be selected if an-
other drum voice is not already selected. Track number 10 is automatically selected
for recording.
• Only tracks 3 through 9 can be selected using the [ORCH/3-10] and SONG/PHRASE
NUMBER [
s
] and [
t
] buttons (track 10 is selected by pressing the [RHYTHM] but-
ton). It is possible, however, to record voices 129 through 136 to tracks 3 through 9.
