Main Features Real Grand Expression (RGE) Sound Engine This lets you enjoy the playing response and expressive capability of a concert grand piano. In addition to providing smooth tonal changes that respond to your playing touch, it also features a new Smooth Release function which can clearly enunciate staccato notes and produce the sound of lingering resonance when gently lifting your fingers from the keys. These effects capture the true essence of an acoustic grand piano to help you create and perform with luscious piano-like expression. Highly evolved touch and expression: Graded Hammer 3 (GH3) keyboard (CLP-430/ 465GP) and Graded Hammer 3 (GH3) keyboard with synthetic ivory keytops (CLP440/S406) The Graded Hammer keyboard features natural grand-piano type key weights (heavier in the low range and lighter in the higher range) providing a pleasant playability that is unmatched by conventional electronic pianos. The Graded Hammer keyboard also offers superb playability for legato (without pedal operation) and repetitive striking techniques, as with a grand piano. The CLP-440/S406 feature synthetic ivory keytops which simulates the moderate hygroscopic characteristics of real ivory and offers a less slippery surface, smooth key movement, and a warm and inviting color. NW (Natural Wood) keyboard with synthetic ivory keytops and Linear Graded Hammer (CLP-470/S408) In addition to the features offered by the GH3 keyboard with the synthetic ivory top model, the CLP-470/S408 uses natural wood for the inside of the white keys (NW keyboard), and utilizes the Linear Graded Hammer feature, in which the hammer weight of all keys is different, just as on an acoustic piano. These features provide a heavier weighted touch that surpasses that of conventional electronic pianos and is closer in feel to a grand piano. Audio Playing and Recording from a USB Flash Memory Audio files (.wav) saved to a USB storage device such as a USB flash memory can be played back on the instrument. Moreover, since you can record your performance as audio data to a USB flash memory device, it is possible to listen to your performance on portable music players, with the data transferred by computer. 8 Main Features
