Introduction Main Features NW (Natural Wood) with synthetic ivory keytops This type of keyboard features the feel of real ivory. The special Natural Wood keyboard also uses real-wood white keys. The key surface is soft and slightly porous, giving the keys added grip and a natural friction that lets you play easily. This authentic touch and feel of the keys goes far beyond existing electronic keyboards, making you feel as if you're playing a real grand piano. The specially crafted keyboard also lets you use techniques only possible on grand pianos, such as playing the same note successively and having the sounds blend smoothly even without use of the damper pedal, or playing the same key quickly and having perfect articulation without the sound cutting off unnaturally. AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling The CLP-380 features Yamaha's original AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling tone-generation technology that gives the instrument its rich, authentic voices and unmatched sonic realism. AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) is a sampling system which creates authentic acoustic instrument sounds by using digital technology to record the actual instrument sound and applying high-quality digital filter technology to the recorded audio samples. The GRAND PIANO 1 Voice in particular features completely new samples recorded from a full-size concert grand piano. Each sampled note has been adjusted and processed meticulously to ensure the very best sound-with instantaneous attack and expressive response. This special Voice features three velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sampling), Sustain Sampling for recreating the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano's soundboard and strings when the damper pedal is pressed, and Key-off Samples that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are released. These sophisticated features and advanced technologies ensure that the instrument sounds and plays virtually the same as an actual acoustic piano. Tri-Amp System The instrument has a built-in Tri-Amp System that features separate amplification for each speaker range- high, mid, and low-providing greater clarity and accuracy from each speaker, ensuring optimum volume balance for each octave range, and letting you enjoy richer, more natural, expansive sound. The Acoustic Ambience of a Grand Piano-with the iAFC Feature Turn on the iAFC (Instrumental Active Field Control) effect, and hear the sound expand around you-as if you're playing on stage in a concert hall. Use the Spatial Effect to recreate and emphasize the natural sounds of true acoustic instruments. The overall sound is deeper and more resonant, especially when using the damper pedal (Dynamic Damper Effect). Internet Direct Connection (IDC) By directly connecting the CLP-380 to the Internet, you can use the special service on the Yamaha website that enables you to automatically play back a wide variety of songs (song data) in various musical genres directly on your instrument.
