Authentic Sound

Unmistakably grand, the new CVP-400 Series Clavinova puts the luscious, expressive sound of a real acoustic grand piano at your fingertips. The amazingly authentic piano sounds at the heart of this instrument were sampled from a full concert grand piano smoothly blended for the most natural dynamic changes. Special care was also taken to accurately reproduce the complex sound nuances when the damper mutes vibrating strings when keys are released (Key Off), the rich sound when the damper pedal is pressed (Sustain), and even the special phenomenon when the hammer hitting the strings of one key causes the strings of other keys to vibrate (String Resonance).

Natural Wood Key Action

The Natural Wood (NW) keyboard on the CVP-409 uses real-wood white keys to reproduce as closely as possible the experience of playing an actual grand piano-including the authentic touch and feel of the keys, the weight balance between key and hammer, and the weight gradation between low and high keys. This specially crafted keyboard lets you use techniques possible only on real grand pianos, such as having successive notes blend smoothly even without pressing the damper pedal, or playing the same key repeatedly and quickly with perfectly natural articulation. The CVP-409 also has Synthetic Ivory keytops that feature a soft and slightly porous surface, giving the keys added grip and a natural friction for improved ease in playing.

iAFC Technology

The sound of a grand piano is one of the most complex in the world of acoustic instruments. Each key has its own string or strings, and when the damper pedal is pressed, the vibrations of just one of the strings cause all other strings to resonate as well. The large soundboard of the piano also resonates, amplifying and spreading these rich harmonic textures in the performance space. The sound is gorgeous, but nearly impossible to recreate on a digital instrument.

Enter Yamaha’s Instrumental Active Field Control (iAFC) technology. The iAFC is an elegant and effective solution that uses built-in microphones and speakers, and makes acoustic adjustments to the sound to create a virtual soundboard and resonant cabinet in the Clavinova. The iAFC actually takes the sound, “feels” the room the piano is in, and then sends the sound out of the speakers to effectively reproduce the complex sonic textures of a real acoustic grand piano.

Super Articulation Voices

This innovative Voice technology from Yamaha takes your keyboard playing to a completely new level of sonic realism and expressiveness. Featuring a variety of realistic acoustic instruments and incorporating the unique performance characteristics of each instrument, these Super Articulation Voices are perfect for playing solo passages and melodies. When you play, the Super Articulation technology monitors your playing and changes the sound accordingly—for amazingly natural and expressive sound. For example, when you play the Tenor Sax Voice in legato, the melody sounds smoothly with faint key noises. Or when you play the Acoustic Guitar Voice, realistic guitar playing techniques such as hammer-ons, pull-offs and slides are blended into your performance—not at random, but based intelligently on the pitch intervals of your playing.

Authentic Accompaniment Styles

The newly improved auto accompaniment Styles of the CVP make music so much more enjoyable and open up a whole new world of performance possibilities. The wide range of Styles include dynamic backing band parts for pop, R&B, rock, Latin, jazz, movie music and classical—letting you play like a pro, in absolutely every genre. The authentic accompaniment of these Styles has been meticulously crafted by top musicians worldwide and refined by pro studio engineers for the best possible quality.

The extra-large full colour LCD on the CVP-409 gives you complete, at-a-glance view of all main settings, and make operation wonderfully easy.
