Yamaha Arius YDP-161 Digital Piano The Yamaha YDP-161 is a superb piano for the home. Thanks to its compact and stylish design, superb sound quality and realistic piano feel and response it is ideally suited to both complete beginners and the more advanced player. If you are looking for an instrument on which to start learning, an upgrade from a keyboard or old acoustic instrument or perhaps you’d like to take up the piano again after not playing for a while, the YDP-161 is a great choice. Despite it’s compact size, the keyboard has a full 88 notes and is exactly the same size as a normal piano. It has the standard 3 pedals (Damper, Sostenuto and Soft) and a sliding key cover for when the instrument is not in use. The sound and touch of a Yamaha piano… A piano has to sound good – this makes practising effortless and playing a pleasure. As the world’s largest manufacturer of traditional pianos and a leader in digital and acoustic technologies, Yamaha is uniquely placed to produce a digital piano that emulates the sound and touch of a real acoustic grand. Why does it sound so good?The sound you hear when you play the YDP-161 is actually that of a real Yamaha concert grand piano just like you would see on stage in concert halls around the world . The sound of the piano has been digitally sampled and stored so that, for example, when you play a C on your YDP-161, you hear the C played on the grand piano. But there’s much more to it than that….depending on how hard you play the keys, the sound of a piano changes; the YDP-161 perfectly recreates this as you play thanks to its touch-sensitive keyboard. Furthermore, when using the damper (or sustain) pedal, the subtle changes in tone that this causes are replicated, thanks to the Damper Resonance feature. These technologies, working in harmony, mean that the quality of the piano sound has to be heard to be believed. Why is the feel of the keyboard so important? Of course, a piano must sound good, but experienced pianists will tell you that how the keyboard feels and responds as you play is equally important. Some digital pianos may sound good, but they do not feel and respond like a real piano. This means that it becomes difficult to control the expression of the music and makes the instrument very unenjoyable to play. For the beginner this is a major problem, as the correct physical keyboard control skills are not being developed during the learning process. An upright or grand piano’s keyboard is heavier to the touch than a small electronic keyboard, organ or synthesizer. That’s because when you play the key, you are making a hammer hit a string to play the note. Learning on an instrument with a weighted keyboard is essential if you want to play the piano, otherwise you will become used to a lighter action which will make playing an acoustic piano much more challenging. Yamaha’s knowledge of many years of acoustic piano manufacture has gone into developing a digital instrument which feels just like a traditional piano with hammers and strings. This even ensures that lower notes are slightly heavier to the touch than higher ones – exactly as you would find on an acoustic instrument – so you can learn to play with confidence knowing that you can move to another piano without it feeling totally different. Furthermore, if the player is unable to strike the keys with enough pressure because, for example, they are very young or have an injury, the touch sensitivity of the piano can be adjusted or even turned off completely, something that is not possible on a piano with strings! Much more than a pianoOf course, other instrument sounds can be created using Yamaha’s sampling technology. YDP-161 has a total of 10 different sounds: Grand Piano 1Recorded samples from a full concert grand piano. Perfect for classical compositions as well as any other style that requires acoustic piano.Grand Piano 2Spacious and clear with a bright reverb. Great for popular music.E.Piano 1An iconic electric piano sound created using FM synthesis.E.Piano 2A traditional electric piano with using hammer-struck ‘tines’. It has a soft tone when played lightly and a much more aggressive tone when played hard. Harpsichord 1The definitive instrument for baroque music. Since the strings of a harpsichord and plucked, there is no touch response.Harpsichord 2Mixes the same voice an octave higher for a full tone.VibraphoneThe sound of a vibraphone played with soft mallets.Church Organ 1This is a typical pipe organ sound (8ft + 4ft + 2ft). Ideal for sacred music from the Baroque period.Church Organ 2The full sound of a pipe organ, organ associated with Bach’s Toccata and Fugue.StringsA spacious and warm string ensemble. Try combining this voice with a piano in DUAL mode (see below).Any two voices can be combined using the dual feature so that, for example, you can play piano together with rich strings to create a great orchestral effect. To further enhance the sound, digital reverb can be added, creating the ambience of a concert hall in any room or even when playing with headphones. Thanks to its acoustic heritage and digital technologies, Yamaha is ideally placed to perfect to the sound and the touch, the two most important aspects of a digital piano. But there are even more features that make YDP-161 a powerful instrument that can be used in many different ways:RecordingRecording your playing is a great way to analyse and track your development when learning a new song. The YDP-161 has a two track digital recorder built-in which can record two separate tracks which can then be played back together. Unlike an audio recording, voice selection, tempo and other settings can be changed after recording, making this a very versatile feature. Perfect timingThe Metronome provides a click in perfect time to help when learning a new song. And, unlike the old-fashioned ticking metronome, you can use it with headphones while practising without disturbing others. Convenient & FlexibleThe YDP-161 is available in Dark Rosewood, Light Cherry and Satin Black finishes and is completely self-contained with a built-in 20W+20W amplifier and speaker system (12cm x 6cm) x 2. There are two headphone sockets which enable two people to listen to the piano simultaneously on headphones. There are MIDI IN/OUT ports which enables the YDP-161 to be connected to a suitably equipped computer for use with a variety of commercially available music software (software & connecting leads not included). 50 preset piano songs and a music bookFor background music or study, there are 50 built-in classical pieces of music to enjoy. The YDP-161 even comes with the full scores of each performance.
