GrandTouch-S™ Keyboard

Yamaha’s GrandTouch-S™ keyboard action features a broad dynamic range and faithful response to every nuance of touch that puts a wide expanse of tone—from delicate to bold—at the pianist’s fingertips. The highly consistent grand piano hammers replicate the pleasing response felt when the hammers strike the strings, enabling precise control of the tone.

Highly absorbent synthetic-ivory white keys and synthetic-ebony black keys prevent slipping even during extended play and feel just like those of a grand piano.

Virtual Resonance Modeling

One of the allures of the grand piano is the sympathetic resonance created by the vibration of the entire instrument. CLP-800 Series pianos reproduce a richer, more natural resonance than ever before, featuring a new tone generator chip paired with a groundbreaking technology called Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM). VRM creates a richly varied sound by simulating the complex sympathetic tones created when the vibrations of the strings are propagated to the soundboard and other strings, corresponding to the timing and intensity of key playing and pedaling. This technology even replicates the sounds the dampers make when they are raised off the strings, in addition to the resonance of the duplex scaling, strings, soundboard, and case. CLP-800 Series pianos allow you to enjoy the same momentary dynamics and deep sympathetic sounds that are produced by the entire body of a grand piano

Grand Expression Modeling

Grand Expression Modeling is a groundbreaking technology that enables richly varied, textured musical expression in comparison to conventional digital pianos, which tend to offer little tonal variation, inevitably resulting in a rather flat output.

The interaction and interplay of the hammers, dampers, and strings inside a grand piano respond to the intensity, speed, depth, and other subtle nuances of the pianist’s touch, creating a limitless range of tonal expression.

On CLP-800 Series pianos, Grand Expression Modeling now senses the depth of the player’s touch on every key in addition to the intensity and speed to precisely calculate how a grand piano would respond physically to the nuances of the player’s input.

Grand Acoustic Imaging

A grand piano is an instrument that amplifies sound throughout its large soundboard and case so that it resonates in the surrounding space. In contrast, digital pianos have a structural limitation—they can only produce sound through speakers. This results in the player and listeners hearing sounds differently depending on where they are in relation to the instrument, and the differences are more pronounced with digital pianos than grand pianos.

To overcome this structural limitation to the extent possible, Yamaha has applied a combination of knowledge and techniques gained from over 120 years of acoustic piano manufacturing and advanced acoustic design technology for concert halls, theaters, and other commercial venues to the acoustic design of the CLP-800 Series. Specifically, we optimized the placement, orientation, and volume balance of the speakers in the low, mid, and high frequency ranges of the CLP-800 Series based on our analysis of the sounds emitted by the components of grand pianos and where and how they radiate away from their sources. We also installed diffusers, waveguides, and Bidirectional Horns to take advantage of the indirect sound reflected from the walls to enhance the reverberation of the sound. These design features reproduce the reverberation and depth of natural sound in the surrounding space, creating a sound field close to that of a grand piano.

Binaural Sampling

Binaural sampling is a method of sampling in which special microphones are placed on a mannequin’s head in the same positions as the pianist’s ears to capture piano sounds the way that they sound in reality.

Yamaha has developed a mannequin head specifically for binaural sampling. We also measured the ear shapes of nearly 100 people to create an “average ear” model and carefully examined the types and positioning of microphones to use with it to ensure that everyone can enjoy the same effects.

Use Bluetooth to listen to music on high-quality speakers of CLP Series pianos

You can play music through the audio system on the CLP-800 Series by using a Bluetooth-enabled smart device. You can stream audio data such as mp3 files, and even enjoy playing along with any songs on your smart device.

Smart Pianist App
