Features

This Yamaha digital piano features a special GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) keyboard with matte black keytops. The GHS keyboard offers natural grand-piano type playability by simulating the heavier touch of the low range and the lighter touch of the high range across the keyboard. The matte black keytops enhance the pianos luxurious and graceful appearance. Two of the piano voices, Grand Piano 1 and Grand Piano 2, feature totally samples recorded from a full-size concert grand piano. The Electric Piano voice features multiple samples for different velocities (Dynamic Sampling); that is, different samples are used depending on how fast or strong you strike the keys. This digital piano sounds much closer to a true acoustic piano.

Adding Variations to the Sound Reverb
This control enables you to select various digital reverb effects that add extra depth and expression to the sound to create a realistic acoustic ambience.
While holding down the [PIANO/VOICE] button, press one of the C2E2 keys to select a reverb type.

Reverb Type

Room Hall1 Hall2 Stage Off
This setting adds a continuous reverb effect to the sound, similar to the acoustic reverberation you would hear in a room. For a bigger reverb sound, use the HALL 1 setting. This effect simulates the natural reverberation of a small-size concert hall. For a truly spacious reverb sound, use the HALL 2 setting. This effect simulates the natural reverberation of a large concert hall. Simulates the reverb of a stage environment. No effect is applied.
Adjusting Reverb Depth Adjust the reverb depth for the selected voice by pressing one of the C3G 4 keys while holding down the [PIANO/VOICE] button. The depth range is from 0 through 20.
G 4: depth 20 The default reverb type (including OFF) and depth settings are different for each voice. depth 0: depth 20: The lowest key C3: depth 0 A4 no effect maximum reverb depth
The depth value increases as you press higher keys.
While holding down the [PIANO/VOICE] button, press the A4 key to set the reverb to the depth most suitable for the selected voice.
Layering Two Voices (Dual mode)
You can layer two voices and play them simultaneously to create a thicker and more supple sound.

1. Engage Dual mode.

While holding down the [PIANO/VOICE] button, press two keys in the range of C1 through F1 simultaneously to select the two desired voices. Alternatively, while holding down the [PIANO/VOICE] button, press and hold down one key, then press another. Refer to Selecting & Playing Voices on page 18 for information on the voices that are assigned to the keys.
You cannot assign the same voice to Voice 1 and Voice 2 simultaneously in Dual mode. Reverb in Dual Mode The reverb type assigned to Voice 1 will take priority. (If the reverb assigned to Voice 1 is set to OFF, the reverb assigned to Voice 2 will be in effect.) The reverb depth setting (page 20) will be applied only to Voice 1.

The voice assigned to the lower key will be designated as Voice 1, and the voice assigned to the higher key will be designated as Voice 2. You can make the following settings for Voices 1 and 2 in Dual mode: Setting the Octave You can shift the pitch up and down in octave steps for Voice 1 and Voice 2 independently. Depending on which voices you combine in Dual mode, the combination may sound better if one of the voices is shifted up or down an octave. While holding down the [PIANO/VOICE] button, press one of the C5F5 keys.

The highest key

C5 key: 1 (Voice 1), C 5 key: 0 (Voice 1), D5 key: +1(Voice 1), D 5 key: 1 (Voice 2), E5 key: 0 (Voice 2), F5 key: +1(Voice 2) Setting the Balance You can adjust the volume balance between two voices. For example, you can set one voice as the main voice with a louder setting, and make the other voice softer. While holding down the [PIANO/VOICE] button, press one of the F 5F 6 keys. A setting of 0 produces an equal balance between the two Dual mode voices. Settings below 0 increases the volume of Voice 2 in relation to Voice 1, and settings above 0 increases the volume of Voice 1 in relation to Voice 2.

-6 -4 -2

-5 -3 -+2 +4 +5
2. Exit Dual mode and return to normal play mode.
While holding down the [PIANO/VOICE] button, press one of the C1F1 keys.

Transposition

Your digital pianos Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of six semitones, and lets you easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if you set the transposition amount to 5, playing key C produces pitch F. In this way, you can play a song as though it were in C major, and this instrument will transpose it to the key of F.
While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] buttons, press one of the F 2F 3 keys to set the desired amount of transposition.
Transpose: Changing the key signature. On this instrument, transposing shifts the pitch of the entire keyboard.

MIDI Functions

You can make detailed adjustments to MIDI settings.
MIDI Transmit/Receive Channel Selection
In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched for proper data transfer. This parameter enables you to specify the channel on which the digital piano transmits or receives MIDI data.
In Dual mode, Voice 1 data is transmitted on its specied channel and Voice 2 data is transmitted on the next greater channel number relative to the specied channel. In this mode, no data is transmitted if the transmit channel is set to OFF. ALL: A Multi-timbre Receive mode is available. In this mode, this instrument receives different parts from the connected MIDI device on any or all 16 MIDI channels and plays multi-channel song data. 1+2: A 1+2 Receive mode is available. It allows simultaneous reception on channels 1 and 2 only, enabling this instrument to play 1 and 2 channel song data received from a music computer or sequencer. Program change and other like channel messages received will not affect this instruments panel settings or the notes you play on the keyboard. Data for the demo song and 50 piano preset songs cannot be transmitted via MIDI.

Setting the transmit channel While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] buttons simultaneously,
press one of the C1-E2 keys. Default setting: Channel 1
Setting the receive channel While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] buttons simultaneously,

For setting the receive channels. (C4F5) For ALL mode

Local Control ON/OFF

Local Control refers to the fact that, normally, the keyboard of this digital piano controls its internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard. This situation is Local Control On, since the internal tone generator is controlled locally by its own keyboard. Local control can be turned OFF, however, so that the keyboard of this digital piano does not play the internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT jack when notes are played on the keyboard. At the same time, the internal tone generator responds to MIDI information received via the MIDI IN jack.
When Local control is turned OFF, the keyboard of this instrument does not play the internal voices.
While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] buttons simultaneously, press the C6 key. Pressing the C6 key repeatedly toggles between Local Control On and Off.

Program Change ON/OFF

Normally this instrument will respond to MIDI program change numbers received from an external keyboard or other MIDI device, causing the correspondingly-numbered voice to be selected on the corresponding channel (the keyboard voice does not change). This instrument will normally also send a MIDI program change number whenever one of its voices is selected, causing the correspondingly-numbered voice or program to be selected on the external MIDI device if the device is set up to receive and respond to MIDI program change numbers. This function makes it possible to cancel program change number reception and transmission so that voices can be selected on this instrument without affecting the external MIDI device.

For information on program change numbers for each voice of this instrument, see the MIDI Data Format information listed on our website. (Please refer to Data List on page 5.)
While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] buttons simultaneously, press the C 6 key. Pressing the C 6 key repeatedly toggles between Program Change On and Off.

Control Change ON/OFF

MIDI Control Change data refers to MIDI information related to performance expression (such as damper pedal information). You can transmit MIDI Control Change data from this instrument to control the operation of a connected MIDI device. (For example, if you operate this instruments damper pedal, this instrument will transmit MIDI Control Change data.) On the other hand, MIDI performance data received on this instrument from a connected MIDI device will respond to MIDI Control Change data received from the MIDI device at the same time. (However, the voice you are currently playing on the keyboard will not respond to the MIDI Control Change data.) The ability to transmit and receive MIDI Control Change data is sometimes very useful. Turn Control Change On if it is convenient for you to have this capability. Turn Control Change Off if you rather prefer not to have this capability.
For information on control changes that can be used with this instrument, see the MIDI Data Format information listed on our website. (Please refer to Data List on page 5.)
While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] buttons simultaneously, press the D6 key. Pressing the D6 key repeatedly toggles between Control Change On and Off.
Transmitting Song Data between the Computer and the Digital Piano
In addition to the demo songs and the 50 piano preset songs stored in this instrument, you can play data for other song by loading it from a connected computer.
