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.

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.

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.
