The new black walnut finish on the Yamaha YDP161B digital piano, adds an attractive option to the already popular Arius line. The new YDP-161B is perfect for a practice or performance piano and features high-quality AWM Dynamic Sampled piano Voices.
Anyone who walks into a piano store quickly realizes that the most popular color for pianos is black. Though Rosewood has become the most common color in digital pianos for decades, the Yamaha Arius YDP161B in black walnut will undoubtedly be a welcome color option for digital piano customers.
Providing true piano touch and tone, the YDP161B is perfect for beginners and experienced pianists alike. The half-damper effect gives players expressive control over sustained sounds when pedaling for a more realistic acoustic piano experience. The two-track song recorder, which captures and reproduces any performance, is ideal as both a musical scratch pad and for using built-in recordings of standard piano repertoire during practice.
Another great feature is the ability to mute either hand of the 50 preset songs, letting players practice each hand independently at their own tempo until they're ready to put the two parts together. Dual headphone jacks allow two people to sit at the instrument and play, practice or teach in privacy without making a sound out of the speaker system.
The YDP161B is covered by Yamaha's Rock Solid Reliance warranty covering both parts and labor for three years, which is an exceptional time period for both the home electronics and musical instrument industries.
Graded Hammer (GH)Just as on a traditional acoustic piano, lower notes on a GH keyboard of the YDP-161B 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.
Variable Touch SensitivitySelect 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.
Advanced Wave Memory (AWM) Dynamic Stereo SamplingThe 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.
128-note PolyphonyConventional 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 YDP161B, you have a maximum of up to 128 notes that can be played at once.
Damper ResonanceDamper Resonance samples provide the rich and broadening tones produced in pedaling. Using these comprehensive gradations, YDP161B model can realistically reproduce the complex sounds of a grand piano.
Half-Pedal ControlIt 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.
Song RecorderThe 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.
50 Preset Piano SongsThe Yamaha Arius YDP161B 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.
