Grand Expression Modeling

The interaction and interplay of the hammers, dampers, and strings inside a grand piano respond to the subtlest nuances of the pianists touch, creating a limitless range of tonal expression. Touch refers to the pianists control, not only of intensity (softness/loudness) in playing and releasing the keys, but also of the speed and depth with which the keys are pressed. The CSP275 Grand Expression Modeling translates the widely varied input from the pianists fingers into the same limitless tonal variation of a grand piano.

Yamaha CFX And Bosendorfer Imperial Voices

Clavinova grand piano sounds are recorded from several world-renowned concert grand pianos. One of them is the CFX, Yamahas top-flight concert grand piano. Pianists around the world are enamored with the impressive, dazzling, richly expressive sound of the CFX in concert halls. Another sampled concert grand is the Imperial, the flagship model of Bosendorfer, a time-honored Viennese piano brand with an ardent following. The Imperial is known for its abundance of color and natural, warm feeling. The Yamaha CSP275 faithfully reproduces the idiosyncrasies of these concert grand pianos with all the minute adjustments to capture the most harmonious tones each piano has to offer.

Virtual Resonance Modeling

One of the allures of the grand piano is the sympathetic resonance created by the vibration of the entire instrument. Clavinova pianos elaborately reproduce this rich sympathetic resonance through 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. The Yamaha CSP275 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.

Binaural Sampling For Authentic Piano Sound, Even With Headphones

Binaural sampling is a method of sampling in which special microphones are placed on a mannequin's head in the same positions as the pianists ears to capture piano sounds the way that they sound in reality. This special method recreates the ambience and full, natural resonance of acoustic pianos in Clavinova pianos and makes the player feel as though they are sitting at a grand piano even when they play with headphones on.

On the CSP275, Binaural sampling was used for the Bosendorfer Imperial as well as the Yamaha CFX. Yamaha achieves higher-definition binaural sound with a specially developed mannequin head and model ears used for the recording.

Yamaha developed the Stereophonic Optimizer function to achieve the same effect for the piano effects. Stereophonic Optimizer technology replicates the natural diffusion of sound in headphones nearly as closely as binaural sampling for the piano voices other than the CFX and Imperial.

Bluetooth Audio Playback

You can play music through the audio system on the CSP-275 by using a Bluetooth-enabled smart device. You can stream audio data such as mp3 files. You can enjoy playing along with your favorite songs on your smart device.

Bluetooth MIDI

This convenient wireless connection between the piano and the Smart Pianist app (on your smart device), lets you fully focus on your playing and enjoy music without worrying about cables.

Microphone Connection

You can enjoy karaoke backing with songs stored in your CSP275, or downloaded. The lyrics are shown on the Smart Pianist app and the words change color as the song advances, so you know exactly when to come in. Plug in a microphone, and you can sing along with your playing.

Multi-Track Song Recorder

The recording function featured in the Yamaha CSP275 allows you to record your performances with a single touch, which is useful when you want to review your playing objectively. Additionally, you can record up to 16 tracks for simultaneous playback, so different hands can be recorded separately or overdub parts with different voices.

USB Type C Connection

A USB cable (Type-C to Type-C) is included, and users who have a Smart Device with a Type-C terminal can conveniently connect the instrument to their smart device with a single cable. Even better, is that the CSP275 will charge the connected device at the same time as communicating with it so you an play as long you feel possible without worrying about the battery in your smart device.
