5 Main Features
Premium GP
"Premium GP" features the authentic sound of Yamaha Premium Grand Pianos. As the largest
acoustic piano manufacturer in the world we were able to hand select from our vast collection of
hand-crafted grand pianos to create the sounds heard in the CP4 STAGE.
[CFX] [CFIIIS] The Evolution of Excellence
The
new flagship of the CF Series, the CFX full concert grand piano
represents the pinnacle of Yamaha's tradition of piano crafting.
Beautifully made and with an exquisite tone that extends across the
entire dynamic range, the CFX has the power to project its sound to the
furthest reaches of any concert hall.
The CFIIIS is another superb
full concert grand piano hand-crafted by Yamaha, with a full, bright
sound and resonant, authoritative bass that make it perfectly suited to
ensemble performance.
[S6] A Warmer More Delicate Sound
The
S6 offers a lush tonal presence with a warm, subtle depth to its sound.
Featuring select bridge materials and new refinements in the
specifications of its copper-wound springs, the S6 delivers a rich,
resonant tone with a perfectly pitched, harmonious bass, making it the
idea piano for accompanying vocals or quiet ballads.
Vintage EP
The
CP STAGE Series features an impressive selection of vintage electric
pianos from different eras, enhanced by Yamaha’s renowned Virtual
Circuitry Modeling technology, which allows the reproduction of the
classic stomp box effects that were such an integral part of their
sound.
[CP80] The Electric Grand
Striking
its strings with an authentic grand piano action and using pickups to
convert their vibration into an electrical signal, the CP80 is an
electric grand piano in the truest sense. The moment this instrument
burst onto the scene it won immediate acclaim for its pronounced attack
and unique harmonic overtones.
[DX7] The Historic DX Electric Piano
Operating
on the principle of FM tone generation, the Yamaha DX Series debuted at
the beginning of the eighties as the world's first digital
synthesizers. The impressive variety of sounds that the DX made
available left musicians around the world in awe, particularly the
electric pianos, which quickly found a home in many different musical
scenes.
[Rd I] [Rd II] Synonymous with the Electric Piano
Yamaha's
Rd I and Rd II offer the timeless electric piano sound that helped
define the music of so many artists in the seventies. The Rd I
reproduces the tone achieved using tines and hammers, while the Rd II
reflects the remarkable progress in musical instrument technology that
occurred in the latter half of the decade. From the mellow modulation of
a quiet ballad or jazz standard to the percussive attacking sound heard
in countless rock classics, the warm resonance of the Rd I and the
clarity and power of the Rd II will take you back to this inspiring
musical era the moment you begin to play.
[Wr] A Pioneering Electric Piano
Perfectly
emulating the distinctive hammer-and-resonator sound of another star of
the sixties and seventies, the Wr voices in the CP STAGE offer
everything from the thick, powerful tone of earlier models of these
renowned electric pianos to the brighter clarity that later efforts
achieved. These voices accurately reproduce the playing characteristics
of the original instruments, so that a light touch will give a delicate
tone, while playing with more force will result in a thicker, uniquely
distorted sound.

A simple and intuitive interface gives you instant access to all the controls that you need.

Voice
Category buttons lets you call up the sounds you need quickly and

organ, strings, and pad sounds based on the sounds in our flagship MOTIF
synthesizer round out the voice library, so you’re ready for any
musical situation.
- Layer & Split
One touch is all it takes to layer and split sounds.
The
large lighted buttons make it easy to split and layer sounds even on
the darkest stages, allowing you to switch from a full piano, to a piano
voice layered with strings, or piano with a split bass sound. The Main
Solo function lets you go back to playing piano across the entire
keyboard the touch of a button.
Wooden Keys
Our wooden-key action gives you the perfect piano touch and response.
