OWNER'S MANUAL
Before using the Clavinova, be sure to read “PRECAUTIONS„ on pages 3-4.
IMPORTANT
—Check your power supply—
Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the name plate on the bottom panel. In some areas
a voltage selector may be provided on the bottom panel of the main keyboard unit near the power cord. Make sure that the
voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area. The voltage selector is set at 240V when the unit is initially shipped. To change
the setting use a "minus" screwdriver to rotate the selector dial so that the correct voltage appears next to the pointer on the panel.
For information on assembling the keyboard stand, refer to the instructions at the end of this manual.

PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical
shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply/Power cord
Water warning
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required
voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet
conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into
any openings.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may
have accumulated on it.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Use only the supplied power cord/plug.
Fire warning
• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators,
and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects
on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll
anything over it.
• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
If you notice any abnormality
Do not open
• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden
loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke
should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch,
disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected
by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or
modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it
should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage
to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply/Power cord
Location
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold
the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold
or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to
prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal
components.
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used
for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment,
mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio
may generate noise.
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-
connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause
overheating in the outlet.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally
fall over.
Assembly
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.
• Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly process.
Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might result in
damage to the instrument or even injury.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is
easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off
the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power
switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum
level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug
the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the
volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the
volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.
• Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or step-
ladder or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury.
• Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the
possibility of accident or injury.
Maintenance
• If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten them
periodically using the included tool.
• In the case of a model with a polished finish, gently remove dust and dirt with a
soft cloth. Do not wipe too hard since small particles of dirt can scratch the
instrument's finish.
Saving data
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not
use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping
cloths.
Saving and backing up your data
before saving. Save the data to a USB storage device/external device such as a
computer.
Handling caution
Saved data may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Save
important data to a USB storage device/external device such as a computer.
• Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do not insert a
finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or instrument.
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the key
cover, panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and
unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected
by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might
discolor the panel or keyboard.
• In the case of a model with a polished finish, bumping the surface of the
instrument with metal, porcelain, or other hard objects can cause the finish to
crack or peel. Use caution.
• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do
not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of time at a
high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing
loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a
physician.

Panel Controls and Terminals
The Yamaha CLP-295GP Clavinova offers unmatched sonic realism and exceptionally natural grand-piano type play-
ability, and features Yamaha’s original AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling technology for rich, authentic, musical
voices.
The special Natural Wood keyboard uses real wood white keys, to reproduce as closely as possible the experience of
playing an actual acoustic grand piano.
Thanks to these two keyboard types, you can use performance techniques previously possible only on grand
pianos—such as playing the same note successively and having sounds blend smoothly even without use of the
damper pedal, or playing the same key quickly and having perfect articulation without the sound cutting off unnatu-
rally. The remarkably authentic Grand Piano 1 voice on both instruments also features:
• Dynamic Sampling, using velocity-switched samples for extra realism;
• Sustain Sampling (page 90), which uses samples of the resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and
strings made when the damper pedal is pressed; and
• Keyoff Samples, which add the subtle, characteristic sounds produced when keys are released.

WARNING!
Make sure your CLP-295GP is rated for the AC voltage supplied in the area in which it is to be used (voltage rating appears on
the name plate on the bottom panel). In some areas, a voltage selector may be provided on the bottom panel of the main key-
board unit near the power cord. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area. Connecting the unit to the
wrong AC supply can cause serious damage to the internal circuitry and may even pose a shock hazard!
Use only the AC power cord supplied with the CLP-295GP. If the supplied cord is lost or damaged and needs to be replaced,
contact your Yamaha dealer. The use of an inappropriate replacement can pose a fire and shock hazard!
The type of AC power cord provided with the CLP-295GP may be different depending on the country in which it is purchased.
(In some areas a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin configuration of the AC wall outlets in your area.) Do NOT mod-
ify the plug provided with the CLP-295GP. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Recording Your Performance
TIP
This chapter explains how to record your performance using the Clavinova
You can record your perfor-
mance (audio data) to a cas-
sette tape recorder or other
recording devices via the AUX
recording function.
You can, for example, play back what you have played on the Clavinova key-
board for an effective practice aid. You can also record just the left-hand part,
then practice the right-hand part while playing back the recorded left-hand
part.
Since you can record up to sixteen parts separately, you could record the left-
and right-hand parts separately, or record each part of a four-handed perfor-
mance or ensemble song one by one to build a song.
TERMINOLOGY
Recording vs. Saving:
The format of performance data recorded on a cassette tape differs from that of data recorded on the Clavinova. A cas-
sette tape records audio signals. On the other hand, the Clavinova “saves” information regarding note timing, voices, and
a tempo value, but not audio signals. When you play back recorded songs, the Clavinova produces sound based on the
saved information. Therefore, recording on the Clavinova may be more accurately called “saving information.” However,
this book often uses the word “recording” because it seems to make more sense.
A message (information or confirmation dialog) sometimes appears on the screen to facilitate operation.
Refer to the “Message List” on page 95 for an explanation of each message, appropriate actions to take, and
troubleshooting information.
Recording a New Song
There are two ways to record your performance: recording it quickly without specifying a recording part, or
recording several different parts to multiple parts. You can select whichever way best suits your purpose.
This convenient and simple recording method lets you quickly record your performance without specifying
the recording parts—useful, for example, in recording solo piano pieces.
In this way, the performance is automatically recorded to part 1 (right part).
This lets you record the right, left and extra parts separately. Since you can record the left part while playing
back the right, this is useful for recording both parts of a duet. Since you can record up to sixteen parts sepa-
rately, record the performance of each instrument part one by one and create fully orchestrated composi-
tions.
EXTRA
PARTS
LEFT
RIGHT
TIP
Appropriate channels (parts) in
the song will automatically be
assigned to [RIGHT] and
[LEFT]. Therefore, [RIGHT] may
be assigned to a part other
than Part 1, or [LEFT] to a part
other than Part 2.
[RIGHT] corresponds to part 1.
Record the right-hand part to [RIGHT].

[LEFT] corresponds to part 2.
Record the left-hand part to [LEFT].

Clavinova memory
The Clavinova has the following three types of memory:
• Current memory:
This is a temporary memory area where you can temporarily place and edit
the currently-selected song before playback or recording.
• Preset song memory:
This read-only memory area saves 50 piano preset songs.
• Storage memory:
This memory area enables you to save recorded songs or song data loaded
from USB storage device.
When you select a song in the song select screen, it is loaded from Preset song
memory, Storage memory, or USB storage device, into Current memory.
You will use Current memory to play back and record songs. When you turn
off the power to the Clavinova, songs saved in Preset song memory and Stor-
age memory are not erased. On the other hand, songs in Current memory are
lost. However, recorded songs are automatically saved to Storage memory
from Current memory.
In this manual, a song located in a song recorded in Current memory, is
referred to as a “Current song,” a song in Storage memory is a “Memory
song,” and a song on a USB storage device is an “External song.”

Connecting to a USB storage device
By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device with a standard USB cable, you can save data you’ve
created to the connected device, as well as read data from the connected device.
Compatible USB storage devices
TIP
CD-ROM drive
Although CD-R/RW drives can
be used to read data to the
instrument, they cannot be
used for saving data.
Up to two USB storage devices, such as a floppy disk drive, hard disk drive,
CD-ROM drive, flash memory reader/writer, etc., can be connected to the
USB [TO DEVICE] terminal. (If necessary, use a USB hub.) Other USB
devices such as a computer keyboard or mouse cannot be used.
The instrument does not necessarily support all commercially available
USB storage devices. Yamaha cannot guarantee operation of USB storage
devices that you purchase. Before purchasing USB storage devices, please
consult your Yamaha dealer, or an authorized Yamaha distributor (see list
at end of the Owner’s Manual) for advice, or visit the following web page:

Number of USB storage
devices
Two USB storage devices can
be connected to one USB [TO
DEVICE] terminal using a hub
device. This instrument can
recognize up to four drives in
one USB storage device.
CAUTION
Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB storage device, or connect-
ing/disconnecting the cable too often. Doing so may result in the operation of the
instrument “freezing” or hanging up. While the instrument is accessing data
(such as in the Save, Copy and Delete operations), do NOT unplug the USB
cable, do NOT remove the media from the device, and do NOT turn the power
off to either device. Doing so may corrupt the data on either or both devices.
TIP
About USB hub
If you are connecting two
devices at the same time, use a
USB hub device. The USB hub
must be self-powered (with its
own power source) and the
power must be on. Only one
USB hub can be used. If an
error message appears while
using the USB hub, disconnect
the hub from the instrument,
then turn on the power of the
instrument and re-connect the
USB hub.

Connection to a USB storage device
TIP
This instrument has two USB [TO DEVICE] terminals; one on the left of the
panel and one on the terminal at the front.
If you connect USB storage
devices to both USB [TO
DEVICE] terminals, the devices
may not operate properly.
USB [TO DEVICE] terminal A
Select the desired terminal
SELECT
USB TO DEVICE
USB [TO DEVICE] terminal B
Both are the same terminal; however, both cannot be used at the same time.
Use the [SELECT] switch to select the desired terminal. Switching to “A”
selects the terminal on the left of the panel, while switching to “B” selects the
terminal panel at the front.
CAUTION
While the instrument is accessing data (such as in the Save, Copy and Delete operations),
do NOT use the [SELECT] switch. Doing so may corrupt the media or data.
Formatting USB storage media
When you execute a file-related operation with a connected USB storage
device, a message may appear indicating the device/media is unformatted.
If so, execute the Format operation (page 54).
CAUTION
The format operation overwrites any previously existing data. Proceed with caution.
To protect your data (write-protect):
To prevent important data from being inadvertently erased, apply the write-pro-
tect provided with each storage device or media. If you are saving data to the USB
storage device, make sure to disable write-protect.
To display the data in the USB storage device
TIP
To view the data of the USB storage device on the CLP display, press the
[SONG SELECT] button to engage song selection mode or press the [FILE/
SONG SETTING] button to engage file/song setting mode. If you try to
engage these modes before connecting the USB storage device, press the
[EXIT] button to exit the mode and re-engage the mode.
Though the instrument supports
the USB 1.1 standard, you can
connect and use a USB 2.0
storage device with the instru-
ment. However, note that the
transfer speed is that of USB
1.1.

Connecting a personal computer
By connecting a computer to the USB [TO HOST] or MIDI terminals, you can transfer data between the
instrument and the computer via MIDI, and take advantage of sophisticated computer music software. Keep
in mind that you also need to install an appropriate USB MIDI driver.
TERMINOLOGY
Driver:
There are the two methods by which to connect the Clavinova to a personal
computer:
A driver is software that pro-
vides a data-transfer interface
between the computer’s operat-
ing system and a connected
hardware device. You need to
install a USB MIDI driver to con-
nect the computer and the
instrument.
1. Connecting the USB port on the computer to the Clavinova’s USB [TO
HOST] terminal (see below)
If you are using a computer that has a USB interface, we recommend that you
connect the computer and the instrument by USB, rather than by MIDI.
For more information, refer to the following pages.
CAUTION
When connecting the Clavinova to a personal computer, first turn off the power of the
Clavinova and quit any application software that is open on the computer before con-
necting any cables. After making connections, turn on the power to the Clavinova.
CAUTION
If you are not using the connection between the Clavinova and your computer, you
must disconnect the cable from the USB [TO HOST] terminal. The Clavinova may not
operate correctly if a cable is left connected.
Connecting the USB port on the computer to the
Clavinova’s USB [TO HOST] terminal
Use a USB cable to connect the USB port on your computer to the USB [TO
HOST] terminal on the Clavinova.
TIP
• The instrument will begin
transmission a short time after
the USB connection is made.
Instrument

• When using a USB cable to
connect the instrument to your
computer, make the connec-
tion directly without passing
through a USB hub.

CAUTION
Precautions when using the USB [TO HOST] terminal
When connecting the computer to the USB [TO HOST] terminal, make sure to
observe the following points. Failing to do so risks freezing the computer and cor-
rupting or losing data. If the computer or the instrument freezes, turn the power to
the instrument off and restart the computer.
•
Before connecting the computer to the USB [TO HOST] terminal, exit from any
power-saving mode of the computer (such as suspended, sleep, standby), and
quit any open application software, also turns off the power to the instrument.
•
Execute the following before turning the power to the instrument off or
unplugging the USB cable to/from the instrument/computer.
- Quit any open application software on the computer.
- Make sure that data is not being transmitted from the instrument. (Data is
transmitted only by playing notes on the keyboard or playing back a song.)
• While a USB device is connected to the instrument, you should wait for six
seconds or more between these operations: When turning the power of
the instrument off then on again, or when alternately connecting/discon-
necting the USB cable.
Using a MIDI interface and the Clavinova’s MIDI terminals

the notes will be quantized. A setting of 100% pro-
duces exact timing. If a value less than 100% is
selected, notes will be moved toward the specified
quantization beats according to the specified per-
centage. Applying less than 100% quantization lets
you preserve some of the “human” feel in the

Detailed settings for iAFC
[iAFC SETTING]
When iAFC is engaged, the Clavinova will sound deeper and more resonant, similar to an acoustic musical
instruments. This lets you experience the ambience and reverberation that are characteristic of performing
on stage or simulates the sustain sound that occur when you press the damper pedal of a grand piano.
This section describes how to make various settings for the iAFC function. You can also perform an auto-
matic adjustment in order to obtain the optimal iAFC effect.

TIP
iAFC cannot be used in the following cases.
•
•
•
When the lid is closed or open with the shorter stay.
When the Speaker setting is Normal, and headphones are connected.
When the Speaker setting is off.
TIP
When using iAFC, do not block the speaker located on the rear panel of the Clavinova. The optimal iAFC effect cannot be obtained if
this speaker is blocked.
TIP
iAFC uses Yamaha’s EMR (Electronic Microphone Rotator) technology to ensure stability against acoustic feedback.

See the procedure on page 71.
Dynamic Damper Effect is one type of the iAFC
effect. Dynamic Damper Effect simulates the sus-
tain sound that occurs when you press the damper
pedal of a grand piano. The internal microphones
are not used, but the sound produced within the
Clavinova is processed to create a spacious sensa-
tion, as you press the damper pedal and play the
keyboard.

Adjusting the Spatial Effect depth
[SpatialFX Depth]
Restoring the default calibration set-
ting [iAFC Default]
Spatial Effect is one type of the iAFC effect. Spatial
Effect creates a sense of reverberation and spa-
ciousness by picking up the output sound using
internal microphones and output the sound from
the speaker on the rear of the instrument. The
spread and spaciousness of the sound is different
depending on the depth. For lower depth settings,
this creates the resonance and enhances the acous-
tic realism of the sound that is characteristic of
acoustic instruments by creating a virtual sound-
board. For deeper depth settings, the sound of the
instrument itself and the sound of singing and
other instruments played nearby is picked up by
internal microphones, and processed to simulate
the spatial characteristics of performing together
on stage.
This sets the calibration function to the default set-
ting.

You can specify a touch response (how the sound
responds to the way you play the keys).
See the procedure on page 71.
The Clavinova’s Transpose function makes it possible to shift
the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone inter-
vals to facilitate playing in difficult key signatures, and to let
you easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a
singer or other instruments. For example, if you set the trans-
position amount to “5,” playing key C produces pitch F. In this
way, you can play the song as if it were in C major, and the
Clavinova will transpose it to the key of F.

Turning Local control on/off
[LocalControl]
Selecting a type of data received via
MIDI [ReceiveParameter]
“Local Control On” is a state in which the Clavi-
nova produces the sound from its tone generator
when you play the keyboard. In “Local Control
Off” state, the keyboard and the tone generator are
cut off from each other. This means that even if
you play the keyboard, the Clavinova will not pro-
duce the sound. Instead, the keyboard data can be
transmitted via MIDI to a connected MIDI device,
which can produce the sound. The “Local Control
Off” setting is useful when you wish to play an
external sound source while playing the keys on the
Clavinova.

Questions about Operations and
Functions
■ The buttons do not respond.
■ Performance in Dual or Split mode is not
recorded.
While you are using a function, some buttons not
used for the function are disabled. If the song is play-
ing, stop the playback. Otherwise, press the [EXIT]
button to return to the main screen. Then, perform
the desired operation.
■ Part data is lost unexpectedly.
For Dual or Split mode recording, the recording part
for the second voice (that is, the voice for the left-
hand part) is automatically assigned (page 31).
Therefore, if the part already has data, the data will
be overwritten during recording. Also, switching to
Dual mode or Split mode in the middle of the song
is not recorded. Therefore, the notes you played with
the second voice (or the notes lower than the Split
point) are not recorded.
■ The sound sustains indefinitely and does not
decay when I press the sostenuto pedal.
With the voices in the CHURCH ORGAN, JAZZ
ORGAN, STRINGS, CHOIR group, or some voices
in the XG group, the sound continues sustaining
while you are holding down the sostenuto pedal.
■ What type of data is recorded?
■ Higher or lower notes does not sound cor-
rectly when the transpose or octave setting
is made.
Data recorded in the parts:
• Note data (notes you play)
• Voice selection
• Clavinova pedals and external pedal on/off
• Reverb depth [ReverbSend]
The setting range for the transposition and octave
setting is C-2 - G8. (With the normal setting, the
Clavinova’s 88 keys covers the range of A-1 - C7.) If
the lowest key is set to a note lower than C-2, it will
produce a sound one octave higher. If the highest key
is set to a note higher than G8, it will produce a
sound one octave lower.

back?
Press the [SONG SELECT] button once.
■ The tempo does not change even though I
recorded with tempo changes.
Depending on the timing of tempo changes, the

■ How much data can I record?
■ The on/off setting of the pedal connected to
the AUX PEDAL jack is reversed.
Some types of pedals may turn on and off in oppo-
site fashion. Use the “AuxPedalType” parameter
(page 88) in the “FUNCTION” menu to change the
external pedal setting.
■ The song title is not correct.
The “CharacterCode” setting may be different than
that used when you named the song. Also, if the song
was recorded on another instrument, the title might
be displayed incorrectly. Use the “CharacterCode”
menu to change the setting. However, if the song was
recorded on another instrument, changing the
“CharacterCode” parameter setting may not resolve
the problem.
■ What is the difference between “Touch-
Sense” and “TouchResponse” MIDI data?
“TouchSense” determines the manner and degree to
which the volume level changes in response to your
touch on the keyboard. The MIDI note-on velocity
data is not changed. It changes the volume level at
the same velocity data.
“TouchResponse”determines the touch sensitivity of
an instrument. The MIDI note-on velocity data is
changed when you play the keyboard with a consis-
tent touch.
■ Only “PhraseMark” can be selected via the
[FILE/SONG SETTING] button during song
playback.
The “PhraseMark” parameter can only be set via the
[FILE/SONG SETTING] button during song play-
back. If you desired to select other parameters, stop
the song and try once again.

Data Compatibility
This section covers basic information on data compatibility: whether or not other MIDI devices can playback the
data recorded by CLP-295GP, and whether or not the CLP-295GP can playback commercially available song data or
song data created for other instruments or on a computer.
Depending on the MIDI device or data characteristics, you may be able to play back the data without any problem,
or you may have to perform some special operations before the data can be played back. If you run into problems
playing back data, please refer to the information below.
Basic Check Points
Voice Allocation Format
The data and the MIDI device must match in regards
to the items below.
• Sequence format
With MIDI, voices are assigned to specific numbers,
called “program numbers.” The numbering standard
(order of voice allocation) is referred to as the “voice
allocation format.”
• Voice allocation format
• Disk Format (floppy disk drive is optional)
Voices may not play back as expected unless the voice
allocation format of the song data matches that of the
compatible MIDI device used for playback.
The CLP-295GP is compatible with the following for-
mats.
Sequence Format
The system which records song data is called “sequence
format.”
Playback is only possible when the sequence format of
the disk matches that of the MIDI device.
■ GM System Level 1
This is one of the most common voice allocation for-
mats.
Many MIDI devices are compatible with GM System
Level 1, as is most commercially available software.
The CLP-295GP is compatible with the following for-
mats.
■ GM System Level 2
■ SMF (Standard MIDI File)
“GM System Level 2” is a standard specification hat
enhances the original“GM System Level 1” and improves
song data compatibility. It provides for increased
polyphony, greater voice selection, expanded voice
parameters, and integrated effect processing.
This is the most common sequence format.
• Standard MIDI Files are generally available as one
of two types: Format 0 or Format 1.
• Many MIDI devices are compatible with Format
0, and most commercially available software is
recorded as Format 0.
■ XG
• The CLP-295GP is compatible with both Format
0 and Format 1.
• Performance data recorded on the CLP-295GP is
saved in the SMF format 0.
XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1
format, and was developed by Yamaha specifically to pro-
vide more voices and variations, as well as greater expres-
sive control over voices and effects, and to ensure
compatibility of data well into the future.
Song data recorded on the CLP-295GP using voices in
the XG category is XG-compatible.
■ ESEQ
This sequence format is compatible with many of
Yamaha’s MIDI devices, including the Clavinova series
instruments. This is a common format used with various
Yamaha software.
106 CLP-295GP Owner’s Manual
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
■ DOC (Disk Orchestra Collection)
This voice allocation format is compatible with many of
Yamaha’s MIDI devices, including the Clavinova series
instruments.
This is also common format used with various Yamaha
software.
■ GS
GS was developed by the Roland Corporation.
In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major enhance-
ment of the GM specifically to provide more voices and
drum kits and their variations, as well as greater expres-
sive control over voices and effects.
Even if the devices and data used satisfy all the condi-
tions above, the data may still not be completely com-
patible, depending on the specifications of the devices
and particular data recording methods.
Disk format
It is necessary to first configure the floppy disk to the
system of the device being used. This operation is
called “formatting.”
• There are two types of floppy disks: MF2DD (dou-
ble sided, double density) and MF2HD (double
sided, high density), and each type has different for-
matting systems.
• Playback is only possible when the MIDI device to
be used is compatible with the format of the disk.

This sound was sampled from a full concert grand
piano. Three stages of dynamics were sampled,
and no effort has been spared in making the sound
virtually identical to that of an acoustic piano. Even
the tonal changes produced by the damper pedal
and the subtle sounds of releasing a key are repro-
duced. The sympathetic vibration (string reso-
nance) that occurs between the strings of an
acoustic piano has also been simulated. Suitable
not only for classical compositions but also for piano
pieces of any style.

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and
Floppy Disks (Optional)
An optional floppy disk drive can be installed to this
instrument. For instructions on installing the floppy disk
drive, see page 115.
CAUTION
Do not remove the floppy disk or turn off the instrument itself
while the disk is being accessed.
The floppy disk drive lets you save original data you’ve cre-
ated on the instrument to floppy disk, and allows you to load
data from floppy disk to the instrument.
Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with
care. Follow the important precautions below.
Doing so may result not only in loss of data on the disk but also
damage to the floppy disk drive.
•
Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive
before turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the
drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt
that can cause data-read and -write errors.
Floppy Disk Compatibility
Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head
•
3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used.
•
Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument
employs a precision magnetic read/write head which,
after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of
magnetic particles from the disks used that will eventually
cause read and write errors.
To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order
Yamaha recommends that you use a commercially-avail-
able dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head about
once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the avail-
ability of proper head cleaning disks.
Formatting a Floppy Disk
•
If you find that you are unable to use new, blank disks or
old disks that have been used with other devices, you may
need to format them. For details on how to format a disk,
see page 54. Keep in mind that all data on the disk will be
lost after formatting. Make sure to check beforehand
whether or not the disk contains important data.
•
n
Floppy disks formatted on this device may or may not be use-
able as is on other devices.
About Floppy Disks
Inserting/Removing Floppy Disks
Handle floppy disks with care, and follow
these precautions:
•
Inserting a Floppy Disk into the Disk Drive:
Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing upward and
the sliding shutter is facing forward, towards the disk slot.
Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly pushing it all the
way in until it clicks into place and the eject button pops out.
Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply
pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep floppy disks
in their protective cases when they are not in use.
Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely high
or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liq-
uids.
Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed
surface of the floppy disk inside.
Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as those
produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since
magnetic fields can partially or completely erase data on
the disk, rendering it unreadable.
•
n
Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive.
Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy
disks.
•
•
Removing a Floppy Disk
•
After checking that the instrument is not accessing* the
floppy disk (checking that the use lamp on the floppy disk
drive is off), firmly press the eject button at the upper
right of the disk slot all the way in.
•
•
Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or housing.
Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to
a floppy disk. Also make sure that labels are attached in
the proper location.
When the floppy disk is ejected, pull it out of the drive. If
the floppy disk cannot be removed because it is stuck, do
not try to force it, but instead try pressing the eject button
again, or try re-inserting the disk and attempt to eject it
again.
To Protect Your Data (Write-protect Tab):
•
To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the
disk's write-protect tab to the “protect” position (tab open).
When saving data, make sure that the disk’s write-protect
tab is set to the “overwrite” position (tab closed).
*Access of the disk indicates an active operation, such as
recording, playback, or deletion of data.
If a floppy disk is inserted while the power is on, the disk
is automatically accessed, since the instrument checks
whether the disk has data.
