Yamaha Keyboards (4 Boards) > Clavinova CVP Digital Pianos
Clavinova CVP Forscore or SongBook+ Configuration
(1/1)
Rick G:
I own a CVP-809 (with USA Edition 9 installed). I have been trying unsuccessfully to configure either Forscore or SongBook+ to work with my CVP809. I have an iPad Pro and a 5-pin midi adapter (with the apple camera adapter). I have communications (according midi monitor), so don't think it is a hardware issue. Specifically, I need to be able to send and receive midi in order to both:
1. Open a specific score upon loading a specific Registration, and/or
2. Do the reverse ... Load a specific registration upon loading a specific score.
I know that it is supposed to work with Genos and PSR-SX and SongBook+, but can't figure out how using my 809.
***** PLEASE don't respond with "It SHOULD Work" or "it works with different hardware".
REALLY only want to hear from folks who have ACTUALLY accomplished it with either app.
Please advise >>>

Hi Rick
I have both the CVP-809 and Songbook+ on iPad Pro and I have them linked together perfectly so when I open a registration on the CVP it open the score in Songbook+ (assuming I have created the link) and visa versa.
I am not using the configuration you mention, e.g. the Apple Camera Adapter. I purchased the Yamaha MD-BT01 which plugs into the two midi ports on the CVP. You then link it via the Songbook+ Bluetooth LE Midi option (press the ... next to the cog and the option is in Other section about 2/3 of the way down the menu).
It works everytime and is reliable. The only downside is you have to select "Bluetooth LE Midi" every time you open Songbook+ it does not automatically connect. But, I can live with this.
Hope this helps.

Have you seen these instructions from Baum Software? They're for the Genos but they work with the Clavinova as well.

I have a CVP-909 and I have Songbook+ working with my iPad Pro in the way you describe. I also have Forscore but, despite many attempts in the past with my Genos - including various emails with the app developers - I never managed to get Forscore to work that way.
For the record, my wi-fi set up is the Access Point mode (3.1).
Cheers
Chris
