Features The Yamaha Clavinova CLP-990 digital piano offers unmatched sonic realism and natural grand-piano type playability as well as Yamaha's original "AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling" tone generation technology for rich, musical voices, and a special "NL Keyboard (Natural Keyboard)" that uses wooden keys with a new action mechanism for improved continuous key response. The CLP-990 GrandPiano1 voice features totally new samples painstakingly recorded from each key of a full concert grand piano. The CLP-990 GrandPiano1 voice features ﬁve velocityswitched samples (Dynamic Sampling), a "Soundboard Reverb" (page 33) effect that accurately simulates the resonance of a piano soundboard, "String Resonance" (page 88) that recreates resonance of piano strings, special "Sustain Sampling" (page 88)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-990 comes much closer to the sound of a true acoustic piano.
