Real GrandExpression: Sound, touch and pedals, all perfectly integrated to give you thesensation of playing a grand piano. By harmonizing the three key elements of sound, touch and pedals in asingle piano, the CVP Series gives you the feeling that you are playing a grandpiano. The RGE SoundEngine delivers the ultimate expressive capability. The Clavinova uses the RGE (Real Grand Expression) Sound Engine, thenext-generation piano sound source. This lets you enjoy the playing responseand expressive capability of a concert grand piano. It features a new SmoothRelease function which can express sound with great clarity, and clearlyenunciate staccato notes with the sound of lingering resonance heard whengently lifting your fingers from the keys. It succeeds in capturing the essenceof a piano performance to create grand piano-like, richly expressiveexperiences.Subtly reproducesresonance with the depth you hear from an acoustic piano.Clavinova subtly reproduces even the unique resonances of an acousticpiano. It features String Resonance that expresses the mellow sounds of theother strings resonating, and Key-Off samples that actually deliver thedelicate change in sound the instant the damper touches the string, just beforeyou raise your finger from the key. The addition of these sounds results intonal resonances that are not only beautiful, but also deep and rich.Experience realpiano touch with Yamahas Natural Wood keyboard. The Clavinova NW (Natural Wood) keyboard could only be made by Yamaha,with woodworking techniques perfected from over a century of building fineacoustic pianos. Like a grand piano, the keys are made of solid wood that hasundergone the long drying process required for use in a musical instrument. Byselecting only the highest quality sections of each piece of wood, keys thatare more resistant to warping and deforming than those of laminated woodenkeyboards are created. The keys have three sensors, like the GH3 keyboard, thatamplify sensitivity to the pianist playing them. Combined with the solidtexture of wood, this provides an outstanding playing experience andperformance.Synthetic ivorykeytops remain tactile during long performances.Pianists enjoy a touch that clings firmly to their fingers, just likethe ivory keyboards historically used in top-class pianos. Synthetic ivorykeytops feature a soft, slightly porous surface that gives all keys added gripand natural friction for improved ease in playing, especially during longperformances or practice sessions. The keys smooth, refined texture imparts afeeling of luxury and is easy to clean.88-key LinearGraded Hammers reproduce a unique weight for each key, a first for digitalpianos. Each key in the Clavinova keyboard has a unique weight. On a traditionalacoustic piano, the strings are short and narrow in the treble section and getprogressively thicker and longer in the bass section. To produce an even sound,the hammers hitting the keys become larger from low to high. Thanks to the88-key Linear Graded Hammers, this is the first digital piano to preciselyrecreate the keyboard touch of a grand piano where the weight, touch and returnof every key is different. Since the experience is extremely close to that of agrand piano, you can achieve better playing technique.The GP ResponseDamper Pedal provides an authentic grand piano pedal feel. The damper pedal is an important piano-playing element because itcontinuously varies the sound as you press it down. The Clavinova providesacoustic piano behaviour by constantly detecting the amount of pedal travel andfinely adjusting the amount of note elongation and reverberation. Additionally,the GP Response Damper Pedal reproduces the typical grand piano feeling, forexample less resistance when starting to press and a heavy feeling when thepedal begins to take effect. As a result, players achieve greater control whenoperating the damper pedal.Piano Room: yourchoice of piano and location.The CVP-609 offers a great new feature called Piano Room that you canuse when you really want to concentrate on piano performance and savour thepiano sound.
