CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

Connections

Power supply/Power cord

Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.

When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.

Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

Location

Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.

Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to prevent damage to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip over them.

When moving the instrument, be careful to avoid catching your hands or feet on the instrument.

Move the instrument slowly with extra care to keep the instrument from falling over, or bumping against the surroundings. We recommend that you consult a qualified carrier to transport or move the instrument.

When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum.

Be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

Handling caution

Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the fallboard or instrument. Also take care that the fallboard does not pinch your finger.

Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps or opening on the main unit, fallboard, or keyboard. This could cause physical injury to you or others, damage to the instrument or other property, or operational failure.

Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

Close the fallboard when the instrument is not in use. Hold the fallboard with both hands when opening or closing it. Be careful to avoid catching fingers (yours or others) between the fallboard and the main unit.

Do not go near the instrument during an earthquake. Strong shaking during an earthquake could cause the instrument to move or tip over, resulting in damage to the instrument or its parts, and possibly causing injury.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status (power lamp is off), electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

Features

• A real acoustic piano that lets you freely change the volume or Voice as you want

Yamaha’s innovative TransAcoustic™ technology lets you adjust the volume or change the Voices—without affecting your performance at all, just as when playing an acoustic piano (TransAcoustic mode). The instrument also features the Silent Piano™ mode in which you can play silently while listening to the sound from the headphones.

You can take advantage of these functions and get more enjoyment with the piano, such as playing in a lower volume to enjoy with people near you, or in silence to concentrate on practice, or playing with various Voices.

• Natural expressive feel possible only with an acoustic piano

In the TransAcoustic mode, TransAcoustic technology vibrates the entire soundboard and causes resonance of the strings and the piano body allowing you to enjoy playing with an exceptionally natural acoustic feel.

Even in the Silent Piano mode, advanced technologies such as Binaural Sampling gives you the impression of the sound as if it was actually emanating from the piano when listening through headphones.

• Realistic resonance enhances your performance

This instrument puts the sound of 20 luxurious, authentic Voices at your fingertips. These include Yamaha’s flagship CFX piano—which delivers dynamic sound, from a brilliant high-range to powerful bass—and the Bösendorfer* Imperial, a world-class piano renowned for its subtle and warm sound.

In the TransAcoustic mode, the resonance of the strings and the piano body lets you enjoy the rich ambience even when playing with the built-in Voices.

* Bösendorfer is a subsidiary company of Yamaha.

• Real acoustic piano touch for maximum expressiveness

Naturally, since this is an actual acoustic piano, it is exceptionally expressive. Moreover, the sensors which detect the movement of the keys are non-contact optical sensors, so they do not affect the playing touch. They catch keystroke information precisely, enabling you to perform with rich nuance and extraordinarily subtle expression.

• Elegant, integrated design

2Playing the TransAcoustic™ Piano

This instrument can be played as a normal acoustic piano, and you can also use the following three modes depending on the situations. In these modes, you can use the various functions such as playing preset Voices built into unit and recording your performances.

TransAcoustic mode: You can play with the digital sound and hear it through resonance of the soundboard of the piano by the TransAcoustic technology (page 18).

Layer mode: You can play with the digital sound as well as the acoustic piano sound (page 19).

Silent Piano mode: You can play with the sound muted and listen to the digital sound through the headphones (page 20).

TransAcoustic technology

On acoustic pianos, as you play the keyboards, the hammers strike the strings and then the vibration is transmitted to the soundboard to emit the sound. On the other hand, on this TransAcoustic piano, the tone generator sends audio signals to a transducer that converts the signals to vibrations and transmits them to the soundboard. The sound resonating from the soundboard is just like that on acoustic pianos. The TransAcoustic technology allows you to adjust the volume, while the natural and rich resonance characteristic of acoustic pianos are maintained.

Playing as an acoustic piano

If you want to play as a normal acoustic piano, you do not need to turn on the power to the instrument.

• For upright pianos:

Turn the power off, and pull the silencing lever forward to return it to the back position, or press the center pedal to slide it to the right, allowing you to play it as an acoustic piano.

18 TA2 Owner’s Manual

Layering the digital sound with the acoustic piano sound (Layer mode)

You can have both the acoustic piano sound and the digital sound layered together as you play the keyboard. The operation is the same as that of the TransAcoustic mode, however, step 3 is unnecessary.

For upright pianos, make sure that the silencing lever or the center pedal is at the position in which the acoustic piano sound is emitted (page 17).

For grand pianos, press the [VOLUME] control to turn the [Aco.] lamp on (page 17), and then rotate the [VOICE/VALUE] control to select a Voice other than “---” (Off; page 21).

NOTE

This instrument is finely tuned before it is shipped. However, the pitch may gradually go out of tune, depending on circumstances such as temperature and humidity. When you detect a difference between the pitch of the digital sound and acoustic sound, tune the piano mechanism, or adjust the Master Tune parameter in the Function settings (page 41). For tuning, consult a professional piano technician.

The volume of the acoustic piano sound cannot be adjusted by using the [VOLUME] control.

When the Voice is set to “---” (Off; page 21), you can play only the acoustic piano sound. The digital sound is not emitted. This Voice is useful when you want to play along with the metronome sound yet use only the acoustic piano sound.

Reproducing a natural sound distance sensation (even when using headphones)—Binaural Sampling and Stereophonic Optimizer

This instrument features two advanced technologies that allow you to enjoy exceptionally realistic, natural sound, even though listening on headphones. These functions can be turned on or off as desired (page 44).

Binaural Sampling (CFX Grand Voice only)

Binaural Sampling is a method that uses two special microphones set at the ear position of a performer and records the sound from a piano as it would actually be heard. Listening to the sound with this effect through headphones gives the impression of being immersed in the sound, as if it was actually emanating from the piano. When the CFX Grand Voice is selected, binaural sampled sound is produced.

Stereophonic Optimizer (Piano Voices other than CFX Grand)

Stereophonic Optimizer is an effect which reproduces the natural sound distance, like with the sound of Binaural Sampling, even though you are listening to it on headphones. When one of the Piano Voices other than CFX Grand (page 64) is selected, the Stereophonic Optimizer is enabled.
