Features
The Yamaha P-60 electronic piano offers unmatched sonic realism and natural grand-piano type playability as well as
Yamaha’s original “AWM Stereo Sampling” tone-generation technology for rich, musical voices, and a special “Graded
Hammer” keyboard that provides graded key weight and response throughout the keyboard range.
The Grand Piano 1 and 2 voices feature totally new samples painstakingly recorded from a full concert grand piano. The
E. Piano 1 voice features a single velocity-switched sample and E. Piano 2 voice features two velocity-switched sample.
The P-60 sounds much closer to a true acoustic piano.

Before Using the P-60
Using the [PHONES/OUTPUT] jack
Connect a pair of headphones here.
When a pair of headphones is connected to this jack, the P-60’s internal
speakers will turn off automatically. This is helpful for private practice or
late night playing.
Though the P-60 is equipped with a built-in speaker system, you can also
play it through an external amplifier/speaker system. First, make sure the
P-60 and any external devices are turned off. Then, connect one end of a
stereo audio cable to the LINE IN or AUX IN jack(s) of the other device
and the other end to the rear panel

CAUTION
Connect the P-60 to external equipment only after turning off power for

Failure to observe these cautions may result in electric shock or equipment damage.
To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the external devices at the minimum setting before connecting
them.
Using the [SUSTAIN PEDAL] jack
This jack is for connecting a supplied foot switch or an optional
foot pedal to the P-60.
When you press the foot switch or the foot pedal, the notes you
play have a longer sustain.
The supplied foot switch is an on/off switch for sustain.
For the optional foot pedal FC3, the further down the pedal is
pressed, the longer the sound will be sustained (can be used like
a half pedal effect).

Using the MIDI connectors
The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device (such as a
MIDI sequencer) which can be used to control the P-60. The MIDI OUT connector
transmits MIDI data generated by the P-60 (e.g. note and velocity data produced by
playing the P-60 keyboard).
