THANK YOU! ... for purchasing the Yamaha Clavinova PF Series P-100. The P-100 is a high-performance

electronic piano with ten voices and a host of functions that make it an ideal instrument for professional

stage and studio applications, as well as for use at home. Its features include the following:

ll

High quality AWM sound

The P-100 features a selection of ten voices and a

maximum simultaneous note output of 32 poly-

phonic notes. All of the voices were recorded us-

ing the latest sampling techniques, then processed

using Yamaha’s patented AWM sound generation

technology.

ll

Superior piano sound

Among the P-100’s voices are two authentic piano

sounds that are samples of actual acoustic instru-

ments. One is a grand piano sound, with rich bass

tones and sparkling high notes that capture the

natural reverb characteristics of a real grand piano.

The other is a bright contemporary piano that will

make a perfect addition to any band.

ll

Digital signal processing

The P-100 has a built-in digital signal processor

unit that provides full stereo reverb, chorus,

symphonic, and tremolo effects, as well as an

easy-to-control three-band equalizer that lets you

tailor the P-100’s sound to suit your taste.

ll

Touch-sensitive keyboard

The P-100’s full-sized 88-note piano keyboard

incorporates Yamaha’s Action Effect keyboard

technology, which gives it the feel and response of

a real piano keyboard. You can even adjust the

keyboard’s sensitivity to suit your playing style,

selecting from Normal, Soft, Hard, or Fixed

settings.

ll

Dual and Split voice modes

The P-100 features Dual and Split voice modes

that let you play combinations of two voices

at once. In Split mode, the key transpose values

can even be set independently for each voice.

The P-100 thus gives you a wide range of perfor-

mance flexibility in a single piano keyboard.

ll

MIDI control capability

The P-100 offers many of the control features

found on a MIDI master keyboard: velocity sensi-

tivity, pitch bend and modulation wheels, an

assignable data slider, program change send and

receive capabilities, and MIDI transpose and

MIDI merge functions. Also, in addition to jacks

for sustain, soft, and sostenuto pedals, the P-100

gives you the option of connecting a MIDI foot

controller that can be assigned in the same manner

as the continuous slider.

PRECAUTIONS

The P-100 is a fine musical instrument composed of sensitive mechanisms and delicate digital circuitry. To ensure a

long lifetime of reliable service, observe these precautions when installing, moving, or handling the P-100.

l l

Location

Do not use the P-100 in locations where it will be

exposed to direct sunlight, extremes of tempera-

ture or humidity, or excessive dust or vibration.

l l

Handling

Avoid rough handling. Do not drop the P-100 or

subject it to shock, as these can damage the

piano’s internal circuitry. Also, do not apply

excessive force to controls or terminals. When

moving the P-100. first unplug the AC power cord

and all other cables to prevent damage to cords

and jacks. When removing plugs from terminals,

always grip them directly rather than pulling on

the cords.

l l

Cleaning

Use a slightly moist cloth and a neutral cleanser to

clean the P-100. Do not use abrasive cleaners,

waxes, solvents, or chemically treated cloths to

clean the P-100, as these may damage the cabi-

net’s finish or dull the keys.

l l

AC Power

The power requirement of your P-100 has been set

to match the mains power supply voltage in your

area. Make sure that your local AC mains voltage

matches the voltage specified on the name plate

on the rear panel of your P-100. If you have any

doubts about voltage compatibility. please consult

your local Yamaha dealer. If you plan to use your

P-100 in an area with a different voltage. be sure

to use an appropriate converter.

l l

Electromagnetic interference

Avoid using your P-100 near televisions. radios. or

other equipment generating electromagnetic fields.

Proximity to such equipment can cause the P-100

to malfunction. and may generate interference

noise in the other appliance as well.

l

Extended disuse

Electrical storms can cause power surges which

can damage the P-100’s circuitry even if the

power switch is turned off. Therefore, it is best to

disconnect the P-100’s power cord from the AC

outlet when you will not be using it for an

extended period of time.

l

Service and Modification

The P-100 contains no user serviceable parts.

Never open the piano’s cabinet or tamper with it in

any way, as doing so can result in electrical shock

or damage to the P-100. Refer all servicing to

qualified YAMAHA service personnel.

l

Backup battery

The P-100’s internal settings are preserved by a

lithium backup battery which has a life of approxi-

mately 5 years. (The battery’s life may be some-

what shorter, depending on the time elapsed

between your P- 100’s date of manufacture and the

date you purchased it.) When the battery charge

runs low, the “Er1” error message will appear in

the LED display. If this display appears. save any

settings you may want to keep using the bulk

dump procedure, if possible, then contact your

Yamaha dealer or a Yamaha service center to have

the battery replaced.

Adjust the volume.

Move the [VOLUME] slider up while a demo song is playing to

raise the volume to a suitable level.

5.

Exit Demo Play mode.

If you select one of the two demo songs to listen to, the P-100

will exit the Demo Play mode automatically as soon as it

finishes the song. To exit Demo play mode while a song is

playing, the press the [-l] button.

Switching between modes

You will not be able to enter the Demo Play mode — or any of the other play modes. for that

matter — when the P-100 is in Utility mode. (The LED above the [MIDI] button will blink

when the P-100 is in Utility mode.) To exit Utility mode, simply press the [MIDI] button.

Also. you will not be able to play the P-100 or use any of the Utility mode functions while the demo songs are

playing. Be sure to press the [-l] button to leave the Demo Play mode when you are done listening to the demo

songs.

PLAYING THE P-100

Selecting a voice

Once you’ve set up the P-100 and adjusted the volume level, you’re ready to start making music. The standard mode

for playing the P-100 is known as Single mode. In this mode, as its name implies, the P-100 plays only a single voice.

Playing the P-100 in Single mode is thus much like playing a normal acoustic piano. The biggest difference between

the P-100 and an acoustic piano is the fact that the P-100 lets you choose between ten different voices.

NO.

To play the P-100 in Single mode, you need only press the

[VOICE/UTILITY] button for the voice you wish to play. The

MIDI program change number assigned to the button you press

will appear briefly in the display, followed by the number of the

voice you’ve selected. (For details regarding the assignment of

program change numbers to the [VOICE/UTILITY] buttons, refer

to the explanation of the program change transmit table on pages

40 and 41.)

Voice polyphony

As the table above shows, the P-100 produces 32 notes of polyphonic sound for seven of its

voices. For convenience, we will refer to these voices as

32-note

voices.

The remaining three voices can produce only 16 simultaneous notes. The first voice, PIANO

1, is a stereo voice, created using stereo sampling techniques. If you wish, however, you can switch it to mono

(for 32 notes output) by pressing and holding the [PIANO l] button for a few moments. When you do so, the

following display will appear briefly:

This display indicates that PIANO 1 has been switched to mono mode. This voice will remain in mono mode

even if you select a different voice and come back to it (although the P32 display will not reappear). To switch it

back to stereo mode, press and hold the [PIANO l] button again. The display below will appear briefly.

The voice is also switched to stereo mode automatically each time you turn on the power to the P- 100.

The other two voices, CLAVINOVA TONE and VIBES, are actually layered sounds which combine two

different tones in a single voice. They can produce a maximum of 16 simultaneous notes, and so are known

(together with the PIANO 1 voice in stereo mode) as

16-note

voices.

Using the reverb effect

Reverb adds warmth to sounds by creating the impression of an acoustic environment. The P-100 lets you select one of

three different types of reverb to apply to each voice. The ROOM setting simulates the reverberation characteristics of

a normal-sized room. STAGE reproduces the reverberations you would hear during a live on-stage performance.

HALL gives a sense of a room with more space between the walls. Finally, the OFF setting — a fourth option which

does not appear as a label on the upper panel — lets you play voices without any reverb.

To change the reverb setting, simply press the [REVERB] button

repeatedly. The P-100 will cycle through the possibilities, the LED

next to the name of each reverb type lighting in turn to indicate

your selection. (None of the LEDs will light when the OFF setting

is selected.)

The P-100 also lets you set the

depth

or level of the reverb effect

for each voice. The depth value appears in the display each time

you select a different reverb type. To change the depth setting,

move the [DATA ENTRY] slider while holding down the

[REVERB] button.

You can set the reverb depth to a level between 0 and 7. Setting the

depth to 0 will effectively turn the reverb off, while a value of 7

will produce the most noticeable reverb.

The P-100 will remember your reverb type and depth settings individually for each of the ten voices. If, for example,

you set the HALL effect at depth 6 for the PIANO 1 voice, then try playing the vibes using ROOM reverb at depth 4,

the P-100 will automatically switch back to HALL depth 6 when you next select PIANO 1.

When you play two voices in Dual or Split modes, the P-100 will apply the main voice reverb type and depth settings

to both voices, ignoring any settings which you may have made for the sub voice.

9

Using the modulation effects

In addition to the reverb effect, the P-100 lets you apply one of three different modulation effects to its voices.

CHORUS is a modulated delay effect that adds thickness to a voice, making it sound as though more than one

instrument is being played. The SYMPHONIC effect is a heavier chorus. TREMOLO applies a tremolo effect to

voices by modulating their output level. Finally, an OFF setting allows you to play without modulation.

These modulation effects have nothing to do with the vibrato effect which you can apply to voices using the

[MODULATION] wheel. The procedure for turning this vibrato effect on and off is described on page 38.

To change the current modulation effect setting, simply press the

[MODULATION] button repeatedly. The LED next to the name of

each modulation effect type will light in turn to indicate your

selection. (None of the LEDs will light when the OFF setting is

selected.)

The P-100 also lets you set the depth of the modulation effect.

The depth value appears in the display each time you select a

different effect type. To do so, move the [DATA ENTRY] slider

while holding down the [MODULATION] button.

You can set the modulation depth to a level between 0 and 7.

Setting the depth to 0 will reduce the modulation depth to a mini-

mum, whereas a value of 7 will result in the heaviest modulation.

The P-100 will remember modulation type and depth settings for each of the ten voices. When you play two voices in

Dual or Split modes, the P-100 will apply the main voice modulation settings to both voices. ignoring any settings you

have made for the sub voice.

10

Adjusting the equalization

The P-100’s equalizer works much like the three-band graphic equalizers found on many portable stereo sets. It allows

you to adjust the P-100’s output in three frequency ranges, LOW, MIDDLE and HIGH.

Slide the slider for each range up to increase the level of output, or

down to decrease output in that range. The graph below should

give you an idea how you can use the equalizer to modify the

sound output by the P-100.
