Manual de Instrucciones
For information on assembling the keyboard stand, refer to the instructions at the end of this manual.
IMPORTANT — Check your power supply —
Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the name plate on the bottom
panel. In some areas a voltage selector may be provided on the bottom panel of the main keyboard unit near the
power cord. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area. The voltage selector is set at
240V when the unit is initially shipped.
To change the setting use a "minus" screwdriver to rotate the selector dial so that the correct voltage appears
next to the pointer on the panel.

Pour obtenir des informations sur l'assemblage du support du clavier, reportez-vous aux instructions
à la fin de ce manuel.
IMPORTANT — Contrôler la source d'alimentation —
Vérifiez que la tension spécifiée sur le panneau inférieur correspond à la tension du secteur. Dans certaines
régions, l'instrument peut être équipé d'un sélecteur de tension situé sur le panneau inférieur du clavier à
proximité du cordon d'alimentation.
Vérifiez que ce sélecteur est bien réglé en fonction de la tension secteur de votre région. Le sélecteur de tension
est réglé sur 240 V au départ d'usine. Pour modifier ce réglage, utilisez un tournevis à lame plate pour tourner le
sélecteur afin de mettre l'indication correspondant à la tension de votre région vis à vis du repère triangulaire
situé sur le panneau.
Para información sobre el montaje del soporte del teclado, consulte las instrucciones al final de este
manual.
IMPORTANTE — Verifique la alimentación de corriente —
Asegúrese de que tensión de alimentación de CA de su área corresponde con la tensión especificada en la
placa de características del panel inferior. En algunas zonas puede haberse incorporado un selector de tensión
en el panel inferior de la unidad del teclado principal, cerca del cable de alimentación. Asegúrese de que el
selector de tensión esté ajustado a la tensión de su área. El selector de tensión se ajusta a 240V cuando la
unidad sale de fábrica. Para cambiar el ajuste, emplee un destornillador de cabeza "recta" para girar el selector
de modo que aparezca la tensión correcta al lado del indicador del panel.

Features
GH (Graded Hammer) keyboard
A special Graded Hammer keyboard feature graded key weight and response throughout the keyboard range. They
respond to a heavier touch in the low range of the keyboard and a lighter touch in the higher range of the keyboard,
thus providing natural grand-piano type playability.
The Graded Hammer keyboard also offers superb playability for tremolo and other repetitive-striking techniques.
AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling
This digital piano offers a rich and versatile range of sounds, which are created using Yamaha's proprietary sampling
tone-generation system, “AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling.”
AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) is a sampling system that creates sounds close to those of an acoustic instrument by
digitally recording the sounds of an instrument and applying high-quality digital filtering technology to the recorded
audio samples.
The sound waveform created by an acoustic piano differs depending on the player's strength of touch, from
pianissimo to fortissimo.
AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling can create extremely dynamic nuances by recording samples at various playing
strengths. The greater the number of samples used, the greater the resulting expressiveness of the instrument.
The piano voice “Grand Piano 1” features a totally new sample recorded from a full-size concert grand piano. Each
note in the sample has been adjusted meticulously so that the digital piano will play only the very best piano sounds.
The piano voices are well-separated sounds featuring a fast attack and a satisfying response.
ENGLISH
The “Grand Piano 1” voice features multiple wave samples for different velocities (Dynamic Sampling). That is,
different samples are used depending on how fast or strong the player strikes the keys. Therefore, this voice expresses
detailed dynamics and sounds much closer to those of a true acoustic piano.

Selecting & Playing Voices
Using the Pedals
The instrument has three foot pedals that produce a
range of expressive effects similar to those produced by
the pedals on an acoustic piano.
NOTE
If the damper pedal doesn’t work,
make sure that the pedal cord is
properly plugged into the jack
(page 60).
ENGLISH
Damper (Right) Pedal
The damper pedal functions in the same way as a
damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the damper
pedal is pressed, notes sustain longer. Releasing the pedal
immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes.
The damper pedal also features a naturally expressive
half-pedal function.
When DAMPER RES. is on, the instrument simulates the
sustain sound that occurs when you press the damper
pedal of a grand piano, as you press the damper pedal
and play the keyboard.
Sostenuto (Center) Pedal
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the
sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes
will sustain as long as you hold the pedal (as if the
damper pedal had been pressed) but all subsequently
played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible
to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are
played “staccato.”
Soft (Left) Pedal
The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while
the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not affect notes that are already playing when it
is pressed.
When you press the damper
pedal here, the notes you
play before you release the
pedal have a longer sustain.
When you press the sostenuto pedal here while holding the note, the note will
sustain as long as you hold
the pedal.
TERMINOLOGY:
Half-pedal:
While playing the piano with Sustain and you want to slightly mute
the sustained sound, release the
damper pedal from maximum
position to half position.
NOTE
Organ, string and choir voices will
continue to sound for as long as
the sostenuto pedal is depressed.
NOTE
The left pedal can be assigned to
song play/pause operation via the
“Left Pedal Mode” described on
page 47.

NOTE
The depth of the effect produced
by the Soft Pedal can be adjusted

[BRILLIANCE]
[BRILLIANCE]
This control can be used to change the tonality or “timbre” of the sound output.
BRIGHT: Bright tone
NORMAL: Standard tone
MELLOW: Soft and mellow tone
Procedure
To select a brilliance type, press the [BRILLIANCE] button a few times until the indicator corresponding to the desired type lights (the indicator lights in sequence each time
you press the [BRILLIANCE] button). Brilliance can be selected among five types. When
two adjacent indicators are lit, the type that is between the two indicated types is
selected. For example, when both NORMAL and MELLOW are lit, the brilliance setting between NORMAL and MELLOW is selected. This parameter affects the entire
sound of the instrument.
[REVERB]
This control enables you to select various digital reverb effects that would add extra
depth and expression to the sound to create a realistic acoustic ambience.
OFF: When no reverb effect is selected, no REVERB indicator is lit.
ROOM: This setting adds a continuous reverb effect to the sound, similar to the
acoustic reverberation you would hear in a room.
HALL 1: For a “bigger” reverb sound, use the HALL 1 setting. This effect simulates
the natural reverberation of a small-size concert hall.
HALL 2: For a truly spacious reverb sound, use the HALL 2 setting. This effect simu-
lates the natural reverberation of a large concert hall.
STAGE: Simulates the reverb of a stage environment.
