CP88/CP73 Owner’s Manual 7

Welcome

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha CP88 or CP73.

This instrument is a Stage Piano designed especially for live performance.

Please read this Owner’s Manual carefully before using the instrument in order to take full advantage of its various features. When you have finished reading the manual, keep it in a safe, accessible place, and refer to it when you need to better understand an operation or function.

Main Features

 Authentic acousticand electric-piano sounds of unparalleled quality

Building on our decades of experience in the production of stage pianos, we have meticulously adjusted the sound of each individual key and realized perfect balance over the full length of the keyboard, creating full-bodied piano tones ideal for solo performances and authentically rich sounds well suited for playing within an ensemble. Furthermore, by analyzing and replicating the sound-producing mechanisms of classic electric pianos using cutting-edge technologies, we have been able to achieve an extremely smooth response in the CP88 and CP73 keyboards.

 Weighted hammer-action keyboards

CP series employ a keyboard with a weighted hammer-action design that is virtually indistinguishable from an acoustic piano. The CP88’s NW-GH (Natural Wood Graded Hammer keyboard with synthetic ebony and ivory keytops) keyboard reproduce a touch of grand piano by giving all keys an authentic resistance that increases from the top register to the lower. And the CP73 features a BHS (Balanced Hammer Standard) keyboard with matte black keytops, perfect for performing as an electric piano as well.

 Design embodies high-class appearance and portability

Featuring a stylish, finely crafted aluminum exterior in a light, compact package, the CP88 and CP73 project an exceptionally professional appearance and provide convenient portability onstage.

 User interface provides direct, intuitive control required for live performance

The three Voice sections—Piano, E.Piano and Sub—are indicated clearly on the top panel, giving you all the controllers you need onstage, allowing you to directly adjust each parameter as you need while you play. The LED indicator lamps show you the selected Voice, letting you fully concentrate on your performance. Moreover, you can enhance sounds on-the-fly, adding various effects to suit your performance as you play.

 Connect with other devices and expand your performance potential

Comprehensive MIDI controls and powerful Master Keyboard features make it easy to connect and use the instrument with software synthesizers and external MIDI devices. Moreover, the instrument has a built-in USB Audio/MIDI interface for convenient recording functions in home and professional studios, as well as onstage performance power.
