CLP-585/575/545/535/565GP Owner’s Manual
Getting Started — Playing the Clavinova as a Piano
This instrument is equipped with three foot pedals:
damper pedal (right), sostenuto pedal (center), and
soft pedal (left).
Damper pedal (right pedal)
When you press the damper pedal, the notes you play
have a longer sustain.
When you select a Piano Voice compatible with VRM
(CLP-585/575: page31) or with Damper Resonance
(CLP-545/535/565GP: page30), pressing the damper
pedal activates the VRM or Damper Resonance to
accurately recreate the unique resonance of an acoustic
grand pianos soundboard and strings.
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. The soft pedal will not affect notes that are already
playing when it is pressed. In order to apply this effect, play notes after pressing the
pedal.
Keep in mind that this pedal function will be changed from the Soft pedal
depending on the selected Voice. When the “Mellow Organ” is selected, pressing
and releasing this pedal switches between “fast” and “slow” of the Rotary Speaker
speed (“Rotary Speed” on page81). When the Vibraphone is selected, this pedal
switches Vibrato on and off (“VibeRotor” on page81).
Using the Pedals
When you press the damper
pedal here, the notes you
play before you release the
pedal have a longer sustain.
NOTE
For details about the Piano
Voices compatible with VRM or
Damper Resonance, refer to
the “Preset Voice List
(Detailed)” on page96.
NOTE
You can assign other functions
to each pedal by using “Pedal
Assign” in Voice Menu display
(page82).
Half-pedal function
This instrument also has a Half-pedal function which allows you to use half-damper
techniques, in which the damper is pressed somewhere between all the way down and all
the way up. In this half-damper state (on a real piano), the damper felts only partially
mute the strings. The Half-pedal function on the Clavinova lets you delicately and
expressively control the damper muting, and create subtle nuances in your performance,
by finely controlling the point at which pressure on the pedal affects the damper muting.
This can be set via the System Menu display: “Pedal “Half Pedal Point” (page90).
GP Responsive Damper Pedal
The damper pedal of the CLP-585/575 is the GP Responsive Damper Pedal. This special
pedal has been designed to provide enhanced tactile response and, when pressed, is much
closer in feel to the pedal of an actual grand piano. It makes it easier to physically
experience the half-pedal point and more easily apply the half-pedal effect than other
pedals. Since the pressing sensation may vary depending on the situation, including the
location where the instrument is installed, you should adjust the half-pedal point
described above to the desired setting.

NOTE
The pedals are covered with
vinyl covers when shipped
from the factory. If your
instrument features the GP
Responsive Damper Pedal,
remove the cover from the
damper pedal for optimum use
of the pedal effect.
When you press the sostenuto
pedal here while holding the
note(s), the notes will sustain as
long as you hold the pedal.
NOTE
While the sostenuto (center)
pedal is held, a sustained (non-
decaying) type of Voice such
as strings or organ may sound
continuously without decay
after the notes have been
released.
NOTE
The center pedal or left pedal
can be used as equivalent to
the [
/ ] (Play/Pause) button
on the panel by setting the
“Play/Pause” parameter in
System Menu display
(page90).
