Introduction Features The Yamaha CLP-175 Clavinova features rich sounds produced by Yamaha's proprietary "AWM dynamic stereo sampling" tone generator system, and a special "Natural Keyboard" that uses wooden keys with an action mechanism for improved continuous key response. The CLP-175 GrandPiano1 voice features 3 velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sampling), "String Resonance" (page 95) that recreates resonance of piano strings, special "Sustain Sampling" (page 95)that samples 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. The CLP-175 comes much closer to the sound of a true acoustic piano. You can output the sound of the Clavinova from an external audio system, or connect it to a cassette tape recorder etc. and record your playing. (page 62) These jacks allow you to connect an external tone generator to reproduce the sound via the Clavinova's internal sound system and speakers. (page 62) This jack can be connected to your computer, allowing you to transfer MIDI data between the Clavinova and the computer.
