CLP-990 87
Other settings
You can make detailed settings for touch, tuning, scale, etc.
Procedure
Press the [OTHER SETTING] button to enter Other Setting mode.
You can specify a touch response (how the sound
responds to the way you play the keys).
See the procedure on page 72.
Setting range:
Light With a soft touch, the Clavinova produces a
loud sound. The volume level of tones tends
to be consistent.
Medium Standard touch response.
Heavy You must hit the key very hard to generate a
loud volume. This allows for versatile expres-
sion, from pianissimo to fortissimo tones.
Fixed No touch response. The volume level will be
the same regardless of how hard you play the
keys. Use the B [–]/[+] buttons to set the vol-
ume level.
Setting range of the “Fixed” volume level:
1 - 127
You can fine tune the pitch of the entire instrument.
This function is useful when you play the Clavinova
along with other instruments or CD music.
See the procedure on page 72.
Setting range:
A3=427.0Hz - 453.0Hz (0.1Hz steps)
You can select a tuning curve from “GrandPiano1” and
“GrandPiano2.” Select “Flat” if you feel the tuning
curve of the piano voice does not quite match that of
other instruments voices.
See the procedure on page 72.
Setting range:
Stretch Tuning curve particularly for pianos
Flat Tuning curve in which the frequency is
octave doubled over the entire keyboard
