The most realistic feel... Yamaha's highly acclaimed Graded Hammer Effect Keyboard is crafted so that the keys in the lower registers have a heavier touch than those in the top. This state-of-the-art keyboard realistically reproduces the true feel of an acoustic grand piano.

For the most realistic sounds Yamaha's Dynamic Sampling technology makes the voices onboard as close to the real thing as you can get. Most of them use three layers of piano samples-mezzo forte, forte and fortissimo-each set at a different velocity. When you press a key lightly, you get a sample of a piano played mezzo forte, and the harder you play, the louder and richer the tone becomes. There's also a fourth sample layer that simulates the resonance of a piano's soundboard and strings when the damper pedal is pressed, and key-off samples that add the subtle sound piano keys make when they are released. 128 notes of polyphony, insure you'll never experience note dropout, even when playing long sustaining passages.

Ultra expressive voices In addition to its remarkable acoustic piano voices, there are 30 sample banks containing all the essential sounds for the stage, including a full range of classic and contemporary electric pianos, organs and tuned percussion as well as strings, choirs, guitars and basses. Its 48MB wave ROM also features a complete set of high-quality XG MIDI voices, covering everything from orchestral instruments and synthesizers to ethnic instruments, drums and sound effects-over 480 XG voices in all.

Versatile pedaling capability The newly designed footswitch can emulate the soft pedaling effects of an acoustic piano. Four pedal jacks are provided for a variety of different pedaling capabilities, including sostenuto, soft, sustain and expression.

Five-band equalizer The five-band master equalizer enables you to adjust the Q, or center frequency, of each band, allowing you to precisely shape your tone and cut through the rest of the band. Split or layered voices can be EQ'd independently using the two-band Part Equalizer in Voice Edit mode.

Full-function 16-track midi sequencer A full-fledged 16-track MIDI sequencer allows you to create complete songs and accompaniments using the onboard voices, external MIDI synthesizers, or a combination of both. Editing functions such as note quantize, repeat and transpose are provided.

USB "To Host" PC interface The built-in MIDI interface provides a direct connection to a Macintosh® or Windows® PC. Both USB and "TO HOST" serial standards are supported. Utility software for transferring files between the keyboard and a computer is included.

Built-in speaker system The built-in 30-watt stereo speaker system features enhanced bass enclosures which provide a rich, full-bodied sound even at low volumes. The speakers also make convenient monitors for when you play on stage.
