sounds you want for your music. Choose from standard, electronic, jazz

XG Format
XG is Yamaha's format that brings you the compatibility and control
of GM (General MIDI), plus a whole lot more. For example, the GM specification
is limited to 128 voices, while XG lets you select voices in different
banks, giving you access to hundreds of voices. In addition, XG lets
you control a vast range of other parameters including harmonic content
of voices, reverb and other effects from a sequencer or another XG keyboard.
It's the ultimate in flexibility and control.
Digital Effects
The onboard digital effects allow you to change instrument voices
in ways from the mild to the wild. Built-in reverb lets you add the
ambience of different-size rooms from a small recital hall through a
large opera house, an enormous cathedral and even an outdoor stadium.
Direct Access
Another helpful feature is the Direct Access button. Simply hold this
button down while you press reverb, for example, to directly access
the reverb's editable parameters.
Guide Control
The large LCD gives you access to yet one more amazing Yamaha feature.
With "Guide Control" a miniature keyboard and piano roll are
shown in the display, and as your playback software progresses the notes
in the piano roll scroll to show you when to play, while guide lamps
over the keyboard show you which note to play.
Three Guide Methods
Lets you pick the method just right for your playing ability. "Easy
Play" allows you to practice the rhythm before learning the notes.
"Next Note" shows you where to play on the keyboard. If there's
a difficult passage that needs concentrated practice, use "Sound
Repeat" to play that one phrase over and over.
Auto Accompaniment
Auto accompaniment is yet another area where Yamaha leads the industry.
Just one finger is all you need to create a complete rhythm, bass and
chord accompaniment in Single Finger mode. Fingered mode lets you play
the entire chord manually, and Multi Finger mode allows you to use Single
Finger, Fingered 1 or Fingered 2 modes to generate the auto accompaniment.
There is also a Full Keyboard mode that responds to whatever you play
across the entire keyboard to make the function more piano-like.
Styles
Built-in accompaniment styles cover almost any musical genre you can
think of. The CVP-201 offers 125. There are also hundreds more available
on Yamaha Style Disks. Each style has four variations plus intros, endings,
fills and fade-in/fade-out for a natural feel to the accompaniment.

them internally to 12 locations or on floppy disk. Start from scratch
or modify one of the existing styles, the only limit is your imagination.
Pianist Style

all the fingering ease of Yamaha's other auto accompaniment functions,
Pianist allows everybody, and even absolute beginners to give accomplished
solo piano recitals.
One Touch Settings
With One Touch Setting, when you choose an accompaniment style, the
right-hand voice is also automatically selected for you, so you're ready
to play at just the touch of a button.
Memory
The handy registration memory allows you to store 20 complete instrument
setups for instant recall. This means you can change the entire sound
of the instrument at the touch of a button — it's a great feature
for live performances. What's more, the CVP-201 lets you name your setups,
so you can store them by song name.

voices and effects setups available at the touch of a button. The CVP-201

Connect your PC and add extra power
Handy one-cord connection to your Windows or Macintosh computer adds
a whole new dimension of power to the Clavinova. For example, you can
use commercially available sequencing software, such as Yamaha's XGworks,
to create truly complex and advanced performances. Or you can use notation
software to create sheet music for the compositions you create. There's
almost no limit to what you can do.
88-key Graded Hammer Effect Keyboard
Yamaha sets the pace for realism with the GH (Graded Hammer effect)
keyboard. You'll enjoy all the subtle response that makes the Clavinova
so expressive. Because the GH keyboard is even more like an acoustic
piano's — the keys are heavier in the bass registers than they
are in the treble. So you get a satisfying weighty feel in the bass,
ideal for adding real bottom to the way you play, and the treble notes
are lighter, to help your fingers dance over fast melody notes.
Stereo Sampling AWM
With Yamaha's AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation, you'll believe
you can actually hear piano hammers and strings. It starts with CD-quality
samples of the actual instrument - and for even greater realism the
piano voices are sampled in stereo. AMW digitally filters them according
to your touch on the keyboard. The volume and tonality change with your
attack.
PC Interface
Connect the Clavinova directly to your Windows or Macintosh personal
computer via the convenient PC Interface and enter an infinitely expanded
world of musical possibilities. Use your favorite sequencing software
to drive the Clavinova. Enjoy an ever-wider range of playback software.
Or take a course of music-instruction software.
