Features Full-scale piano performance page 22 This instrument features a piano Voice created with samples of the Yamaha CFX flagship concert grand piano, as well as the incredibly realistic keyboard feel that recreates the sensation of playing an acoustic instrument. By using a similar hammer mechanism (with no springs) as is found in a grand piano, the GH3 keyboard action reproduces the touch of an acoustic instrument, from the heavier feel in the lower register to the lighter touch in the upper octaves. It also features a three-sensor configuration which accurately senses and interprets the behavior of the keyboard to create a response and feel very much like that of a grand piano. Moreover, the VRM function simulates the luscious resonance effect on acoustic pianos-where the sound of one string causes sympathetic vibration in other strings and the soundboard. You can customize the piano sound (in a special "Piano Room" setting group) by adjusting various parameters such as string resonance, damper resonance and touch response. When headphones are connected, the piano sounds are automatically adjusted to impart a natural sound distance sensation. Altogether, this instrument deliver widely variegated and rich sounds that are faithful to actual acoustic pianos. Song playback for both listening enjoyment and practice purposes page 36 Also built into this instrument are 50 classical music for mastering the piano. You can simply enjoy listening to these built-in Songs, or use them for separate right-hand/left-hand practicing.* With simple arrangements, original compositions, and everything in between, all levels of ability are covered. We have also assigned one of four difficulty levels to each song so you can easily find the most suitable ones to play and enjoy. *The part on/off function is available only for MIDI songs that have both right- and left-hand parts. Twenty different rhythms page 48 Playing along with one of the twenty basic rhythms built into the instrument is a great way to add excitement to your performances. They feature a variety of different patterns from jazz, popular music, and the like, to give you what you need to make playing more fun and lively. Recording your performances page 49 The instrument lets you save your performance to internal memory or a USB flash drive (sold separately). You can record your performance as a MIDI file. MIDI recording is ideal for making independent tracks-for example, recording a right-hand part to Track 1 first, and then a left-hand part to Track 2-allowing you to create pieces that would be difficult to play live with both hands together. 10 YDP-184 Owner's Manual
