You can connect a pair of headphones to one of the [PHONES] jacks on your YAMAHA CLAVINOVA CLP-775. When headphones are plugged into either of the [PHONES] jacks, the internal speaker system is automatically shut off. Two [PHONES] jacks are provided, allowing two sets of standard stereo headphones to be plugged in. (If you are using only one pair of headphones, you can plug them into either of these jacks.)

When “CFX Grand” or “Bösendorfer” is selected on your YAMAHA CLAVINOVA CLP-775, connecting headphones automatically enables binaural sampling sound. Binaural sampling records piano sound using two microphones at the performer’s ear position, giving the impression of being immersed in the sound, as if it was actually emanating from the piano.

When any other Voice in the Piano group besides “CFX Grand” or “Bösendorfer” is selected, connecting headphones automatically enables the Stereophonic Optimizer effect, which reproduces natural sound distance.

This function is turned on by default. When the “Speaker” setting is On, this function will always be disabled. Since these sounds are optimized for listening with headphones, it is recommended to set this function to “OFF” if you are playing the piano sound with an external powered speaker system while monitoring on headphones, or when making an audio recording while using headphones and then playing that recorded audio Song through speakers.

The YAMAHA CLAVINOVA CLP-775 is equipped with three foot pedals:

Damper pedal (right pedal): When you press the damper pedal, the notes you play have a longer sustain. When you select a Voice in the Piano group, pressing the damper pedal activates the VRM to accurately recreate the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings. The GP Response Damper Pedal on the CLP-775 provides enhanced tactile response and feel closer to an actual grand piano pedal.

Half-pedal function: This allows for half-damper techniques, where the damper felts only partially mute the strings, enabling delicate and expressive control of damper muting.

Sostenuto pedal (center pedal): If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held. All subsequent notes will not sustain.

Soft pedal (left pedal): The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while the pedal is pressed. It will not affect notes already playing when pressed; to apply the effect, play notes after pressing the pedal.

Note that the soft pedal function may change depending on the selected Voice (e.g., controlling Rotary Speaker speed for “Mellow Organ” or Vibrato for “Vibraphone”).

Here are the parameters you can set in the Piano Room on your YAMAHA CLAVINOVA CLP-775:

To listen to the VRM Demo Song on your YAMAHA CLAVINOVA CLP-775, open the Piano Room display and press the [PLAY/PAUSE] button. You can hear the Demo Song with and without the effect (VRM on or off).

The VRM (Virtual Resonance Modeling) function on the YAMAHA CLAVINOVA CLP-775 uses sophisticated physical modeling to simulate the actual string resonance sound that occurs when the damper pedal on a real piano is pressed or keys are played and held. On an actual acoustic piano, if you press the damper pedal and play a key, not only does the string of the pressed key vibrate, it also causes other strings and the soundboard to vibrate, each influencing the rest and creating a rich and brilliant resonance that sustains and spreads. The VRM technology in this instrument reproduces this complicated interaction of both string and soundboard resonance faithfully using a virtual musical instrument (physical modeling), making the sound more like a real acoustic piano. Since instantaneous resonance is made at the moment according to the state of the keyboard or pedal, you can vary the sound expressively by changing the timing of your pressing the keys, and the timing and depth of your pressing the pedal.

Duplex scaling on the YAMAHA CLAVINOVA CLP-775 is a stringing method for pianos that uses extra, un-struck strings in the upper octaves to enhance the tone. These strings sympathetically vibrate with other strings in an acoustic piano, resonating with overtones, and adding richness, brilliance and complex color to the sound. Since they do not have a damper, they will continue sounding even after you release your hands from the keyboard.

Damper noise on the YAMAHA CLAVINOVA CLP-775 is the sound made on an acoustic piano when the damper pedal is pressed. The damper noise changes in tone and volume depending on how quickly the damper pedal is pressed down. Pressing the damper pedal slowly will make a quieter sound when the damper heads are released from the strings. Pressing the damper pedal with force will transmit the vibrations to the strings, which adds a lower and louder sound.

Grand Expression Modeling on the YAMAHA CLAVINOVA CLP-775 allows subtle changes in the sound to be produced by changing your playing touch from when you press a key to when you release it. For example, when you press a key all the way to its bottom, the key hits the keybed underneath and the noise reaches the strings, changing the sound slightly. Furthermore, the tone when the damper is lowered onto strings to mute the sound is changed by how quickly you release the key. The Grand Expression Modeling technology recreates these subtle changes in the sound that respond to your touch. This allows you to add accents by playing strongly or add resonance by playing softly to produce superbly expressive sound. A crisp tone can be heard when playing staccato as well as a lingering sound produced when releasing the keys slowly.

The YAMAHA CLAVINOVA CLP-775 allows you to record your performance using two main methods: MIDI Recording and Audio Recording.

• MIDI Recording: Recorded performances are saved to the instrument or a USB flash drive as an SMF (format 0) MIDI file. This method is ideal for re-recording specific sections, editing parameters (like Voice), or recording to each track one by one (up to 16 tracks). It allows for creating complex arrangements and can be converted to an Audio Song. The instrument allows recording approximately 500 KB of data per Song.

• Audio Recording: Recorded performances are saved to a USB flash drive as an Audio file (stereo WAV format, normal CD quality resolution: 44.1 kHz/16 bit). This data can be transmitted to and played on portable music players. Audio sound input from external devices (via AUX IN, USB TO HOST, wireless LAN, or Bluetooth) can also be recorded along with your keyboard performance. The instrument allows recording up to 80 minutes per single recording.

This manual covers the following four specific recording methods:

• Quick MIDI Recording: The quickest way to start recording. Performance is saved to the “User” category in the instrument’s internal memory.

• MIDI Recording – Independent Tracks: Allows recording right, left, and extra parts separately (up to 16 parts).

• MIDI Recording to the USB Flash Drive: Useful for overwriting existing MIDI Songs or creating new ones on a USB flash drive.

• Audio Recording to the USB Flash Drive: Records performance as Audio data directly to a USB flash drive.

When using the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal on your YAMAHA CLAVINOVA CLP-775, observe the following precautions:

• Compatible USB devices: USB flash drives, USB hubs, USB wireless LAN adaptor UD-WL01 (sold separately). Other USB devices like computer keyboards or mice cannot be used. Not all commercially available USB devices are necessarily supported.

• USB devices 2.0 to 3.0 can be used, but data transfer times may differ. USB 1.1 devices cannot be used.

• The rating of the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal is a maximum of 5V/500mA. Do not connect USB devices with a rating above this, as it can damage the instrument.

• Connecting a USB device: Ensure the connector on the device is appropriate and connected in the proper direction. Avoid connecting or disconnecting the USB device during playback/recording and file management operations (Save, Copy, Delete, Format) or when accessing the device, as this may result in “freezing” or data corruption. Wait a few seconds between connecting and disconnecting the USB device.

• Number of USB flash drives: Only one USB flash drive can be connected at a time (even with a USB hub).

• Formatting a USB flash drive: Format the USB flash drive only with this instrument. Formatting will overwrite all data.

• To protect your data (write-protect): Apply the write-protect on your USB flash drive to prevent accidental erasure. Disable write-protect when saving data.

• Turning off the instrument: Ensure the instrument is NOT accessing the USB flash drive during playback/recording or file management when turning it off, to avoid data corruption.

To connect external MIDI devices to your YAMAHA CLAVINOVA CLP-775 using its MIDI terminals:

• MIDI [IN]: Receives MIDI messages from another MIDI device.

• MIDI [OUT]: Transmits MIDI messages generated on this instrument to another MIDI device.

• MIDI [THRU]: Simply relays the MIDI messages received at MIDI IN.

Before connecting, turn off the power of all components. Check the MIDI Data Format to ensure compatibility between devices.

To connect your YAMAHA CLAVINOVA CLP-775 to a computer via the USB [TO HOST] terminal for MIDI or Audio data transfer:
