There’s a feature on the Yamaha CVP Clavinovas that I think a lot of people either miss… or don’t fully take advantage of.
And that’s the assignable buttons.
On the surface, they’re simple. But used properly, they can completely change how you interact with your piano.
If you’ve spent any time with a CVP, you’ll know there’s a lot going on.
Menus, pages, settings… all brilliant, but not exactly quick to get to when you’re in the middle of playing.
And that’s where people get stuck – constantly dipping in and out of menus, breaking the flow.
Those four assignable buttons are there to fix exactly that.
Instead of digging through menus, you can bring your most-used functions right to the surface.
One press, and you’re straight there.
What you choose to put on them is entirely up to you – and that’s where it gets interesting.
Because the real benefit isn’t just the buttons themselves… it’s how you tailor them to your own playing.
While you’re in that same assignable area, there’s something else worth exploring too – your pedals.
There’s a surprising amount you can control from your feet, and most players only ever scratch the surface of it.
Once you start combining what your hands can trigger with what your feet can do, everything becomes a lot more fluid.
This isn’t one of those flashy features.
But it’s one of those ones where, once it’s set up properly, you’ll wonder how you managed without it.
It just makes the whole experience feel… easier.
