The piano sound in the Yamaha YDP161 is a sampling from the Yamaha CFIIIS Full Concert Grand Piano, which has won high praise at the world's most famous concert halls and music competitions. The YDP-161 provides true piano sound and feel, and features the GH keyboard and 3-level AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampled voices that deliver authentic sound and natural expressiveness. It's a joy to play, both in practice and performance.
Just as on a traditional acoustic piano, lower notes on a GH keyboard of the YDP-161 have a heavier touch, while the higher ones are more responsive to lighter playing. GH features an extra key sensor capable of reproducing fast repetitive playing of a single note with perfect articulation.
Select the hard, medium or soft setting to match your playing style or finger strength. Turn off sensitivity for a fixed response setting, ideal when playing the organ.
The AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) is a sampling system which creates the realism of an acoustic instrument by using digital technology to record the instrument sound and applying high-quality digital filter technology to the recorded audio samples. The waveform of the sound created by playing the key of an acoustic piano differs depending on the playing strength from pianissimo to fortissimo. The AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling can produce such dynamic nuances by recording samples of various playing strengths. The greater the number of samples used, the higher the expression.
Conventional digital pianos quickly run out of notes during fast, dense legato passages: sustained notes are cut off as the instrument "steals" notes to make room for new notes. With the YDP161, you have a maximum of up to 128 notes that can be played at once.
Damper Resonance samples provide the rich and broadening tones produced in pedaling. Using these comprehensive gradations, YDP161 model can realistically reproduce the complex sounds of a grand piano.
It allows the sustain length to vary "step-by-step" depending on how far the pedal is pressed. The farther you press the pedal, the more the sound sustains.
The built-in, 2-track performance memory allows you to record a backing track, and then step into the spotlight and solo over it. Best of all, you can change tempo or Voices even after you've recorded your performance. There's also a built-in metronome to help you stay in perfect time.
The YDP161 has a selection of 50 different piano songs provided for your listening pleasure. These recordings were chosen for their beauty as well as their functionality. Since many of the songs are classic piano pieces, anyone taking lessons can listen to them for reference.
