The CVP-407 has all the luscious, expressive sound of a real acoustic
grand piano - with 4-level sampling, key-off sounds, stereo sustain,
string resonance and more. The NW keyboard with wooden white keys
effectively reproduces the authentic touch, weight and feel of a real
grand piano. The amazing iAFC effect recreates the richly textured
resonance of a piano soundboard for even greater realism. The CVP-407
is packed with hundreds of dynamic voices, including the ultra-realistic,
expressive Super Articulation Voices and Mega Voices, as well as 408
accompaniment styles. It also has a USB Audio Recorder that lets you
capture your entire performance - including style and song playback,
as well as your singing - and easily bring it to your computer for
CD burning or uploading to websites.
Natural Wood (NW) Keyboard
This type of keyboard features the feel of real ivory. The special
Natural Wood keyboard also uses real-wood white keys. The key surface
is soft and slightly porous, giving the keys added grip and a natural
friction that lets you play easily. The authentic touch and feel of
the keys goes far beyond existing electronic keyboards, it makes you
feel as if you're playing a real grand piano. This specially crafted
keyboard lets you use techniques only possible on grand pianos, such
as playing the same note successively and having the sounds blend
smoothly even without use of the damper pedal, or playing the same
key quickly and having perfect articulation without the sound cutting
off unnaturally.
Advanced Wave Memory (AWM) Dynamic Stereo Sampling
The AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) is a sampling system which creates
sound close to that of an acoustic instrument by using digital technology
to record the instrument sound and applying high-quality digital filter
technology to the recorded audio samples. The waveform of the sound
created by playing the key of an acoustic piano differs depending
on the playing strength from pianissimo to fortissimo. The AWM Dynamic
Stereo Sampling can produce such dynamic nuances by recording samples
of various playing strengths. The greater the number of samples used,
the higher the expressive quality and potential becomes.
Super Articulation
Introducing a completely fine level of sonic realism and musical expressiveness.
The remarkably authentic Voices feature the unique performance characteristics
of each instrument, the expressive finger-slides on the guitar, or
the breathy, legato phrasing of a saxophone. Never before have such
string, wind and brass instruments, played live with a keyboard, sounded
so convincing or so real!
MegaVoice Technology
It features multiple samples across the keyboard with sophisticated
velocity switching - for incredibly authentic instrument sounds. It
contains not only the basic samples of the instrument but also the
performance techniques used with it. On a guitar for instance, players
will hear open and mute string sounds, dead notes, hammering effects,
slide effects, harmonics and a wide range of strum and body noises.
In technical terms, MegaVoice duplicates an instrument's behavior.
In sonic terms, this gives the keyboard stunningly realistic sounds.
Natural! Voices
These rich and luscious Voices are comprised mostly of keyboard instrument
sounds and are especially intended for playing piano and other keyboard
parts.
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.
iAFC (Instrumental Active Field Control)
This sophisticated technology outputs sound picked up by built-in
microphones together with the Clavinova's internal sound through rear
speakers, making automatic adjustments to create a richer sound that
best matches the acoustic characteristics of the room you're playing
in. It also uses signal processing to reproduce an authentic damper
effect. When the damper pedal is pressed, it delivers discretely sampled
overtones, harmonics and resonance to recreate the warm and spacious
sound.
USB Audio Recorder
You can record your performance as audio data to a USB storage device.
Connect a microphone or guitar to the instrument and enjoy recording
a guitar and keyboard performance together, or record your singing
along with song playback.
16-track song recorder
Use the built-in song recorder with up to 16 tracks to create complex,
multi-part arrangements one instrument at a time. After recording,
save to the internal memory, which retains data even when the power
is switched off, on a storage device, or to a PC.
Guide Lamps
The key guide lamps indicate the notes you should play, when you should
play them, and how long you should hold them down. You can also practice
at your own pace - since the accompaniment waits for you to play the
notes correctly. Here, mute the right- or heft-hand part and try practicing
the part using the guide lamps.
Piano Reset Button
This convenient, easy-to-use feature completely and automatically
reconfigures the entire CVP for optimum piano performance. No matter
what settings you've made from the panel, you can instantly call up
the piano settings by a single button press.
LAN Port
LAN Port is for a wired internet connection the same as a LAN terminal
