AWM Tone Generation and New Piano Samples Like previous models, these new Yamaha Clavinovas boast AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation for the ultimate in instrument realism. To assure a warmer, more natural, sound, they also feature new DSS (Dynamic Stereo Sampling) piano samples. Taken at different levels from loud to soft, these new samples provide subtle differences in volume and timbre depending on how you play the keys, resulting in the ultimate in responsiveness. In addition, this keyboard offers Stereo Sustain and Key-Off samples. Stereo Sustain samples recreate the resonances of the strings and soundboard when the damper pedal is pressed that contribute to the unique sound of a grand piano. Key-Off samples provide the delicate sound keys make when they are released. To take you even closer to authentic grand piano performance pleasure, this piano has String Resonance samples that provide the complex resonances that make an acoustic grand piano sound so rich and full.

Selection of Voices Choose from a large selection of other stereo-sampled musical instrument sounds to perform with. These sounds provide added realism for more music playing enjoyment.

Choice of Finishes Each Yamaha Clavinova has an attractive, elegant finish to complement the room you place it in.

USB Connectivity This is one of the first Clavinovas to feature both USB TO HOST and TO DEVICE terminals, conveniently located on the front panel for easy access. This means that you can connect to a computer (TO HOST), and take advantage of the vast possibilities in computer music, and hook up to your favorite USB storage device (TO DEVICE) for storing your valuable song data, all at the same time.
