entire performance - including style and song playback, as well as

or uploading to websites.
Graded Hammer 3 (GH3) Keyboard
Just as on an actual grand piano, the lower keys are heavy in touch
and the higher keys are light, with all the natural gradations in
between. This technology also provides performance functions and expressive
power found only on grand pianos, such as having repeated plays of
the same note perfectly articulated, even when playing at high speed
or with partial key release.
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.
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
you see on a computer. Stay connected and directly access to the Yamaha's
special service ""Internet Direct Connection (IDC)""
without a computer. Once you're online with IDC, you can download
your favorite contents straight to your instrument. And that's just
the beginning - the fun and excitements start from there!
USB TO DEVICE Terminal
Insert a USB flash memory in the USB TO DEVICE terminal on the instrument.
It would 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.

Yamaha has created a new, essential online service for musicians everywhere:
