Re: MIDI compatibility with Clavinova?

2007-11-24 by david962548

Hi

Ah I see, slightly different scenario now.  The accompaniment on the 
309 uses extra voices (Mega, Live, Sweet, Cool)that are NOT XG or 
even GMidi.

http://www.yamaha-
europe.com/yamaha_europe/uk/10_musical_instruments/50_clavinova/20_cv
p_series/10_cvp_series/10_no_series/10_CVP_309/index.html

Taken from the above web site:

"64 + 96MB Wave ROM containing 948 AWM voices (GM and XG compatible) 
inc. Mega, Live, Sweet, Cool, and organ flutes - digitally recorded 
instruments, using Yamaha's AWM technology for superior sound. Mega 
voices capture all the nuances of live guitar sounds. Live, Sweet 
and Cool voices are extra high quality samples. Also includes a 
supreme piano voice"

I would suggest you download the Data List for the 309 at this site:

http://www.yamaha.co.jp/manual/english/index.php

Just type in cvp309 in the search box then download the Data List.

Then look to see which Bank & Program number the midi file uses and 
change it to the correct XG voice.

You may find these two programs useful.

I don't think he has any control over which patches the CVP-309 
chooses for the accompaniment, but it "seems" to be choosing XG 
instruments.  When he saves this as midi and emails it to me, it 
looses something in the translation, to put it lightly.  I'm trying 
to play it on my new DC3M4.
