Informations
With the Clavinova digital piano range, Yamaha shows us they know how to reproduce the authentic sound and feel of an acoustic grand piano. This Dark Walnut CLP-635DW features realistic samples from their very own CFX as well as the world-famous Bösendorfer Imperial grand pianos. What's more, you've got 34 other sounds at your fingertips as well as 20 accompaniments. The keyboard consists of 88 Hammer Action keys; the ivories have a layer of synthetic coating and the black keys are made of real ebony. You'll be able to play with the same freedom and expression as you would on an acoustic model.
Virtual Resonance Modelling
What makes the sound of a grand piano so unique is greatly due to how the tone resonates through the housing. Thanks to Virtual Resonance Modelling technology, Yamaha has been able to simulate a grand piano's string and attenuation resonance as well as key-off samples. It also features Binaural Sampling, which means the position of the pianist has been taken into account while recording the piano samples. As a result, you hear the sound you would expect to hear from an acoustic piano, even if you use headphones.
Possibilities
This digital piano has a set of features you simply won't find on an acoustic model. The keyboard has layer, split, and duo modes that allow you to double or combine sounds, or divide the entire keyboard in two. Furthermore, there are a variety of DSP effects and a 16-track recorder built in so you can record up to 250 songs. You can also play along with 50 pre-programmed songs or use any of the 303 lesson tracks. Last but not least, this piano includes a USB port for even more digital possibilities.
