ENGLISH Features ■ AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling The Yamaha YDP-161/141 digital piano offers a rich and versatile range of sounds, which are created using Yamaha's proprietary sampling tone-generation system, "AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling." The AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) is a sampling system which creates sound close to that of an acoustic instrument by using digital technology to record the instrument sound and applying high-quality digital filter technology to the recorded audio samples. The waveform of the sound created by playing the key of an acoustic piano differs depending on the playing strength from pianissimo to fortissimo. The AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling can produce such dynamic nuances by recording samples of various playing strengths. The greater the number of samples used, the higher the expressive quality and potential becomes. ■ GH (Graded Hammer) keyboard and GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) keyboard A special Graded Hammer keyboard on the YDP-161, and Graded Hammer Standard keyboard on the YDP141, feature graded key weight and response throughout the keyboard range. They respond to a heavier touch in the low range of the keyboard and a lighter touch in the higher range of the keyboard, thus providing natural grand-piano type playability. The Graded Hammer keyboard also offers superb playability for tremolo and other repetitive-striking techniques. ■ Useful function for practicing Your digital piano features a Part Cancel Function. You can record your left-hand and right-hand parts, and then play them separately; left- and right-hand part. You can also practice a one-hand part while playing the otherhand part from one of the 50 preset songs. A built-in metronome is a convenient practice tool to help you develop accurate timing.
