Introduction

Features

Yamaha’s Innovative Silencing System

• The hammer shank stopper stops the movement of the hammer just before striking the string, and the optical sensor will catch keystroke information precisely. The internal tone generator receives the keystroke information and reproduces enrich sound of the piano.

• The noncontact optical sensor faithfully detects subtle movement of the keys without affecting the touch of the keys. You can enjoy the natural expression of the music.

Realistic Piano Voice

• The piano voice is faithfully sampled from the Yamaha CFX concert grand piano. You can enjoy the clear and beautiful tone of the piano.

• The piano voice is sampled with the binaural sampling* method. Even if you listen through headphones, you can enjoy the immersive sound, as if it sounds from the piano. In addition, you can enjoy the natural sound for a long time without straining the ear.

• The unit is equipped with various effects that reproduce the speciﬁc resonance of an acoustic piano (Damper Resonance, String Resonance, and Sustain Sample). You can also add subtle sound produced when the keys are released (Key-off Sample). By combining these, you can enjoy the realistic and rich piano sound even when used with the Silent Piano™ function.

* Binaural sampling: method that uses two microphones set at the ear position of a performer and records the sound from a piano as it is.

Useful Features for Lesson

• You can record your performance on the internal memory or commercially available USB storage device. Since you can record your performance as an audio data (WAV) as well as a MIDI data (USB Audio Recorder), it is now easy to create your own CDs or upload your performance to the net.

• The metronome is built in this unit. You can practice playing or record your performance more accurately with the metronome.

• Since the unit has two headphone jacks, you can practice sharing your performance with others, or enjoy a duet. The supplied headphones have an open type structure which reproduces the high-quality and clear sound.

• 50 masterpieces of piano are preset on the unit. The unit also comes with a corresponding music book “50 greats for the Piano.”

• In addition to a piano voice, the unit has various voices of instruments, such as harpsichord or pipe organ.
