Yamaha CLP765GP. Advantages That Only Digital Pianos Can Offer

Clavinova pianos are packed with advantageous features that only digital pianos can offer.

Use headphones to keep your surroundings quiet and play along with the preset rhythms for an even more enjoyable experience.

Additionally, connect to Yamaha’s Smart Pianist app for extra support in your piano practice. The simple control panel makes it easy to adjust your piano’s settings.

The pianist conveys the emotions they want to express, and the piano responds, in a continuous exchange that creates a dialogue between the two. To make this a truly rich interaction, both the player and the piano must have excellent expressive capabilities. The piano must be easy to play, highly responsive, and capable of producing beautiful sounds.

The CLP-700 series pianos meet all these requirements, inspiring a dialogue with the instrument that will surely awaken your desire for expression.

Keyboard

The latest GrandTouch/GrandTouch-S keyboards incorporate a wide dynamic range of touch and responsiveness at the level of a grand piano.

Exceptional consistency and nuanced expression give the pianist maximum control over touch.

GrandTouch-S™ Keyboard

Yamaha’s latest keyboard action features a broad dynamic range and faithfully responds to every touch nuance, offering an extensive tonal range from pianissimo to fortissimo at the pianist’s fingertips.

Highly consistent grand piano hammers replicate the satisfying response felt when hammers strike the strings, allowing for precise tonal control.

The highly absorbent synthetic ivory white keys and synthetic ebony black keys prevent slipping, even during extended playing sessions, and feel just like a grand piano. Practice as much as you need without worry.

Clavinova Keyboard Escapement Mechanism

In a grand piano, the escapement mechanism quickly moves the hammers away from the strings after striking them, preventing any interference with the string vibrations. This mechanism creates a subtle clicking sensation when pressing keys gently.

Clavinova keyboards feature an escapement mechanism that replicates this sensation near the bottom of the key stroke.

They are designed so that the click is only perceptible with lighter key presses, similar to an acoustic grand piano keyboard. These keyboards have been fine-tuned to provide additional friction, balancing key repetition and response without hindering performance.

Clavinova Design Philosophy

Clavinova pianos offer an excellent keyboard and versatile functions, combined with a refined, authentic design that merges a compact form with a modern aesthetic.

At the heart of Clavinova’s design concept is the experience of the pianist when sitting at the instrument.

Unnecessary elements are removed from the pianist’s field of vision to create a natural and immersive space, similar to sitting at an acoustic piano.

This reflects Yamaha’s dedication to pianists who practice on Clavinovas and perform on grand pianos. They can step onto the stage without stress or worry, because everything feels natural—just as it should.

Sensitivity

Grand Expression Modeling

The interaction of hammers, dampers, and strings within a grand piano responds to the subtlest nuances of the pianist’s touch, creating an unlimited range of tonal expression.

Touch refers to the pianist’s control over not only the intensity (softness/loudness) of playing and releasing keys but also the speed and depth at which keys are pressed. The Grand Expression Modeling feature in the CLP-700 series translates a pianist’s varied finger input into the same limitless tonal variation as a grand piano.

This makes it possible to alter the sound by playing at different depths and speeds, even when using techniques such as trills, legato, or emphasizing melody over accompaniment.

Grand Expression Modeling excels at faithfully reproducing the intended outcomes of these techniques in many well-known pieces.

• In Debussy’s “Clair de Lune”, a soft touch creates the delicate tone that makes the melody stand out more clearly.
• In Liszt’s “Un Sospiro”, the accompanying arpeggios enhance the melody without overpowering it, and varied expression in the melody gives it a vocal-like quality.
• In Chopin’s nocturnes, where trills, legato, and delicate finger techniques create an airy, floating sensation, Grand Expression Modeling delivers the required tonal expression and lightness.

Sound Quality

New Yamaha CFX & Bösendorfer Imperial Voices

Clavinova grand piano sounds are sampled from several world-renowned concert pianos.

One of them is the CFX, Yamaha’s flagship concert grand piano, known for its brilliant, dazzling, and richly expressive sound in concert halls worldwide.

Another is the Imperial, the flagship model of Bösendorfer, a historic Viennese piano brand cherished for its warm and rich tonal color.

Yamaha faithfully reproduces the unique characteristics of these grand pianos by carefully sampling the full tonal range of all 88 keys and making meticulous adjustments to capture each piano’s most harmonious tones.

Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM)

One of the most captivating aspects of a grand piano is its sympathetic resonance, created by the vibrations of the entire instrument.

Clavinova pianos expertly reproduce this rich resonance through an innovative technology called Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM).

VRM creates a rich and complex sound by simulating the intricate sympathetic tones generated when string vibrations resonate through the soundboard and other strings, responding to the timing and intensity of key presses and pedal use.

The CLP-700 series even reproduces the sound of dampers lifting off the strings, along with the duplex scale resonance, string resonance, soundboard resonance, and cabinet resonance.

Clavinova pianos allow you to experience the same dynamic, immersive sound as a grand piano.

A Fully Immersive Concert Experience—Even with Headphones

Binaural sampling is a recording method that uses special microphones placed at the pianist’s ear positions to capture the natural sound of the piano as it truly resonates.

Yamaha used this technique to recreate the full ambiance and natural resonance of acoustic pianos in Clavinova digital pianos.

This makes pianists feel like they are sitting right in front of a grand piano, even when playing with headphones on. The experience is so enjoyable that they forget they’re even wearing headphones, no matter how long they play.

In the CLP-700 series, binaural sampling was applied to the Bösendorfer Imperial and Yamaha CFX.

Additionally, Yamaha developed the Stereophonic Optimizer feature, which reproduces a natural sound spread in headphones, closely mimicking binaural sampling for piano voices other than the CFX and Imperial.
