Realistic Piano Touch for the Aspiring Musician
Drawing on over a hundred years of experience and craftsmanship in
making world class acoustic pianos, Yamaha introduces the Arius series.
All of these instruments provide exceptionally natural, grand piano-like
touch, with realistic weight gradations-heavy in the lower end, and
light in the upper. The YDP–140 features the entry-level Graded
Hammer Standard (GHS) keyboard with realistic matte black finish key
tops. While technically an entry level action (beneath the more sophisticated
Graded Hammer Effect), GHS is designed for budding pianists who require
weighted keys to develop the proper playing technique for an acoustic
grand.
AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling for Authentic Piano Sound
The Arius series digital pianos feature Yamaha's sophisticated AWM
(Advanced Wave Memory) with Dynamic Stereo Sampling for the ultimate
in instrument realism. Taken at different 3 levels of soft, medium
and loud each key is comprised of multiple stereo recordings of an
actual grand piano. This provides subtle differences in volume and
timbre depending on how you play the keys, and gives you full expressive
control over the sound.
Exceptionally natural key touch of the Graded Hammer Standard keyboard
virtually replicates that of an actual grand piano.
Built–in AWM stereo sampled instrument
Voices faithfully reproduce their complete range from the soft, dark
lows to the glistening, bright highs.
The damper pedal includes an authentic half–damper effect, giving
you nuanced expressive control over the sustained sound far more realistic
than a simple on/off footswitch.
Built-in song recorder and metronome make the instruments ideal for
piano lessons, practicing, or even as a scratch–pad for you
next masterpiece. 50 specially selected piano songs of standard piano
repertoire are built into each Arius, either for your listening enjoyment
or as a rehearsal tool.
The YDP140 incorporates a high-efficiency 6W x 2 stereo amplifier
for the two internal speakers and includes four types of reverb capable
of making a small room sound as big as a concert hall.
- 88 Full Size Piano Keys – the keys are shaped to look like
a traditional piano keyboard
- Fully Weighted ‘Graded Hammer’ Keyboard Action –
replicates the subtle changes in the feel and weight of each note
of an acoustic piano, allowing greater expression and improved articulation

as the keys respond to how hard they are played. Playing lightly
produces a soft sound, whilst playing harder gives a louder sound

or accidental spills

be used to add sustain, sostenuto or dampener effects

enjoy
- 2 x Headphone Sockets – for private practice
