Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) Keyboard with matte black keytops
Just as on a traditional acoustic piano, the keys of the lower
notes have a heavier touch, while the higher ones are more
responsive to lighter playing. The keyboard's sensitivity can
even be adjusted to match your playing style. This Graded Hammer
technology also enables the instrument to provide authentic
touch in a lightweight instrument.
Amazingly Realistic Sounds
Yamaha's highly acclaimed Sweet! and Cool! Voices deliver incredibly
natural and dynamic sound. Use the pitch bend wheel, and hear
these voices - especially the Sax and Trumpet - truly come
alive!
Live! Cool! and Sweet! Voices
A huge palette of acoustic and electronically amplified instrument
sounds. A blend of long, stereo and multi-layered samples is
used to fully capture the natural presence, resonance, expression
and vibrato of the real instrument.
Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
DSP effects can be added to the Main and Dual voices. These range
from reverb-like ambience effects to distortion and other dynamic
processing tools that let you enhance the sound, or completely
transform it.
Easy Song Arranger
In addition to each song's default style, you can select any
other style to play the song with the Easy Song Arranger feature.
This means that you can play a song that is normally a ballad,
for example, as a bossa nova, as a hip-hop tune, etc. You can
create totally different arrangements by changing the style
with which a song is played. You can also change the song's
melody voice and the keyboard voice for a complete change of
mood.
Performance Assistant Technology (P.A.T.)
Play along with a song on the instrument's PAT and produce a
perfect performance every time ... even if you play wrong notes!
All you have to do is play on the keyboard - alternately on
the left and right-hand ranges of the keyboard, for example
- and you'll sound like a pro as long as you play in time with
the music.
Music Database plus External Files
You want to play music in your favourite style, but you're not
sure how to select the best voice and style for the type of
music you want to play ... simply select the appropriate style
from the Music Database. The panel settings will automatically
be adjusted for the ideal combination of sounds and style!
Furthermore, this instrument allows Music Database files transferred
via the internet (http://services.music.yamaha.com/). These
files can be used in the same way as the internal Music Database.
USB TO DEVICE Terminal
Insert a USB flash memory in the USB TO DEVICE terminal on the
instrument. It will let you save or load the registered settings
and user songs created on the instrument, as well as read data
from the connected device.
USB TO HOST Terminal
Dive in and take advantage of the wide world of computer music
software. Connections and setup are exceptionally easy, and
you can play back your computer recorded parts with different
instrument sounds - all from a single instrument.
Portable Grand Button
Playing piano is fast and easy with Yamaha's Portable Grand function.
One dedicated button brings up a great sounding piano, stunningly
rich and authentic in its sound as well as setting up the keyboard
to play as a piano.
Easy Performance with Music Notation Display
When you play back a song, the corresponding score will be shown
on the display as the song plays. This is a great way to learn
how to read music. If the song contains lyric and chord data*,
the lyrics and chords will also appear on the score display.
* No lyrics or chords will appear on the display if the song
does not contain the appropriate lyric and chord data.
Yamaha Education Suite (Y.E.S.)
Yamaha Education Suite (Y.E.S.) is an advanced set of helpful
learning tools built into the instrument, letting you teach
yourself how to play and perform. Y.E.S. helps you master a
song with easy lesson steps. Each lesson can be done in isolation
with either your left hand or right hand, or both.
Optional 3-pedal unit (LP-7A)
The LP7A pedal unit has three foot pedals that produce a range
of expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals
on an acoustic piano. |
