Yamaha Clavinova CLP-785 Matte Black Digital Piano with Bench

If no one tells you you're playing on a digital piano, will you ever really know? Playing the Clavinova CLP-785, the CLP-700 series' flagship model, feels and sounds like an acoustic from the get-go.

Yamaha aimed toward authenticity from three angles. GrandTouch Keyboard action incorporates key counterweights for even more substance and resistance - it's like feeling the gravity-driven action of a grand whenever you place your hands to play a chord or melody.

Then, the sounds that come out, via binaural sampling, utilize tones from Yamaha's own CFX and BÖsendorfer Imperial concert grand pianos. While this choice of sounds is new for the CLP-700 series, the CLP-785 goes a step further with Virtual Resonance Modeling and a 300W sound system with Spruce Cone speakers, providing a greater degree of warmth and clarity.

Features:

* Fortepiano Voices lets you switch to the sounds of an 18th century instrument - the modern-day grand piano's predecessor - for close-to-authentic replications of classical compositions as you can get.
* Real Grand Expression 2 technology notices the slightest motion as you're playing, helping realize every dynamic and articulation and adding individuality to your sound.
* The GrandTouch keyboard incorporates counterweights for a grand piano-like feel that allows for greater precision and playability.
* Binaural sampling technology adds dimension and clarity to the sound, even if you're playing with headphones.
* Grand Acoustic Imaging adds the expansiveness of a grand piano to a compact upright body.
* Grand Expression Modeling makes it seem like you're playing with hammers, dampers and strings for even more expressiveness and articulation.
* The GP Response Damper Pedal gives you the option of adding sustained tones and pedal-like reverberations.
* The Touch Sensor Control Panel offers a less-conspicuous interface for all of the digital piano's controls; panel disappears when not in use.
* Connect any Bluetooth-enabled device with Bluetooth MIDI and audio to play music or use the Smart Pianist app.
* This Yamaha Clavinova digital piano further offers: Escapement Mechanism, 256-note polyphony, USB-to-host connectivity, two headphone jacks, Dual, Duo, and Split modes, a USB audio recorder, WAV audio playback and recording, an auxiliary in/out port, Wi-Fi compatibility, wooden keys, a multi-amp speaker system, 88-key linear graded hammers, key counterweights, and an auxiliary pedal input.



New Voices:

Yamaha has captured all-new binaural samples of two world-class concert grand pianos - the bright, brilliant voice of the Yamaha CFX and the warm, deep resonance of the Bösendorfer Imperial. Experienced through headphones, binaural samples are natural and full, preserving the acoustic sound to such a degree that you forget that you're not hearing the sound straight from an acoustic instrument. The CLP-700 Series is the first Yamaha instrument to be equipped with the voices of the fortepiano, the 18th century predecessor to the modern grand piano. Played by the likes of Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach, the sounds emitted by a fortepiano allow you to hear classical music exactly as the composer would have experienced it in their day.
