The Yamaha Clavinova CLP-470R reaches a new level of realism, expression and design and is also the first Clavinova to feature 'Real Grand Expression', Yamaha's new approach to digital piano technology. The CLP-470R's Linear Graded Hammer action and GP Response damper pedal take the playing experience to a higher level. Yamaha Clavinova CLP-470R Features * Natural Wood white keys with Synthetic Ivory keytops * 14 voices each with 2 variations * Yamaha 'Real Grand Expression' sound engine * Smooth release and damper resonance features * Key-off samples, string resonance and stereo sustain samples * USB audio recording and playback * Linear Graded Hammer action * GP Response damper pedal * Acoustic speaker enclosure * Panel reveal key cover * Beautiful Dark Rosewood finish cabinet Real Grand Expression: the sensation of playing a grand piano Yamaha Real Grand Expression technology creates playing response and expressive capability similar those of a grand piano. RGE combines three key elements: Sound, touch and pedals. The grand piano voices are created by sampling a Yamaha concert grand piano. A single piano was selected and finely tuned by a master piano technician resulting in a sound that captures both the beauty of each note and the harmonised sound of a single piano. The touch of a Clavinova has been meticulously refined using feedback from many pianists. Yamaha technology creates smooth and dynamic changes in tone according the strength of touch, replicating the expressiveness of a grand piano. The CLP-470R has a NW (Natural Wood) keyboard finished with synthetic ivory keytops along with an 88-key Linear Graded Hammer action. This keyboard reproduces the differences in the weights of all the keys whilst the texture of solid wood provides a touch that prevents your fingers from sliding on the keys making the response extremely close to that of a grand piano. The CLP-470R also has a GP Response Damper Pedal, designed to pay careful attention to the strength of the press. By allowing you to finely control reverberations, you can give rich, emotional performances. Intelligent Acoustic Control Intelligent Acoustic Control provides a full, balanced sound with rich lows and clear highs even at low volume. One of the joys of the CLP-470R is that the volume can be adjusted to avoid disturbing others. However, playing at low volumes can make it difficult to hear bass and treble. The Intelligent Acoustic Control function automatically adjusts the sound and the volume control makes fine adjustments to the speaker system, ensuring that you can always enjoy the utmost sound quality even at low volumes. A selection of instrument voices The CLP-470R has many piano voices so that you can select the type of piano best suited to the musical genre you wish to play. In addition to acoustic pianos, you can enjoy the sound of electric pianos, including a Yamaha CP1 stage piano. Other instrument voices including classical organ, harpsichord and guitar are available while dual voice enables two sounds, for example piano and strings, to be combined giving the opportunity to play a wide variety of music. A wide range of additional functions In addition to being compact and requiring no tuning, the CLP-470R has a number of other useful features. Two headphone jacks offer the ability to listen in to a practice session or play duets in silence. A metronome, transpose function, brilliance control and digital effects such as concert-hall reverb and many other versatile features are also incorporated. Two recording options offer maximum versatility Recording is a useful way to evaluate your performance and share with others. You can record at the touch of a button and use two-track recording to record both hands individually or create a duet. Playback tempo can be adjusted and performances can be stored on a USB memory device. In addition, the CLP-470R has a USB audio recorder, which enables performances to be recorded as an audio track (WAV file format). Recordings can be transferred to a computer and then stored on a portable digital media player or onto a CD, for playback in a CD player. This function also provides the opportunity to play along with an audio track stored on a USB memory device.
