Features
• A real acoustic piano that lets you freely change the volume or Voice as you want
Yamaha’s innovative TransAcoustic™ technology lets you adjust the volume or change the Voices—without affecting your performance at all, just as when playing an acoustic piano (TransAcoustic mode). The instrument also features the Silent Piano™ mode in which you can play silently while listening to the sound from the headphones.
You can take advantage of these functions and get more enjoyment with the piano, such as playing in a lower volume to enjoy with people near you, or in silence to concentrate on practice, or playing with various Voices.
• Natural expressive feel possible only with an acoustic piano
In the TransAcoustic mode, TransAcoustic technology vibrates the entire soundboard and causes resonance of the strings and the piano body allowing you to enjoy playing with an exceptionally natural acoustic feel.
Even in the Silent Piano mode, advanced technologies such as Binaural Sampling gives you the impression of the sound as if it was actually emanating from the piano when listening through headphones.
• Realistic resonance enhances your performance
This instrument puts the sound of 20 luxurious, authentic Voices at your fingertips. These include Yamaha’s flagship CFX piano—which delivers dynamic sound, from a brilliant high-range to powerful bass—and the
Bösendorfer* Imperial, a world-class piano renowned for its subtle and warm sound.
In the TransAcoustic mode, the resonance of the strings and the piano body lets you enjoy the rich ambience even when playing with the built-in Voices.
* Bösendorfer is a subsidiary company of Yamaha.
• Real acoustic piano touch for maximum expressiveness
Naturally, since this is an actual acoustic piano, it is exceptionally expressive. Moreover, the sensors which detect the movement of the keys are non-contact optical sensors, so they do not affect the playing touch. They catch keystroke information precisely, enabling you to perform with rich nuance and extraordinarily subtle expression.

Playing the TransAcoustic™ Piano
This instrument can be played as a normal acoustic piano, and you can also use the following three modes depending on the situations. In these modes, you can use the various functions such as playing preset Voices built into unit and recording your performances.
•
TransAcoustic mode:
You can play with the digital sound and hear it through resonance of the soundboard
of the piano by the TransAcoustic technology (page 18).
•
Layer mode:
You can play with the digital sound as well as the acoustic piano sound (page 19).
•
Silent Piano mode:
You can play with the sound muted and listen to the digital sound through the
TransAcoustic technology
On acoustic pianos, as you play the keyboards, the hammers strike the strings and then the vibration is transmitted to the soundboard to emit the sound. On the other hand, on this TransAcoustic piano, the tone generator sends audio signals to a transducer that converts the signals to vibrations and transmits them to the soundboard. The sound resonating from the soundboard is just like that on acoustic pianos. The TransAcoustic technology allows you to adjust the volume, while the natural and rich resonance characteristic of acoustic pianos are maintained.
Playing as an acoustic piano
If you want to play as a normal acoustic piano, you do not need to turn on the power to the instrument.
• For upright pianos:
Turn the power off, and pull the silencing lever forward to return it to the back position, or press the center pedal to slide it to the right, allowing you to play it as an acoustic piano.
With sostenuto pedal No sostenuto pedal
• For grand pianos:
You can switch the instrument to play as an acoustic piano while the power is on. Pressing the [VOLUME] control lights up the [Aco.] lamp and enables you to play as an acoustic piano. When the control is pressed, the Voice is automatically set to “---” (Off).
Pressing the [VOLUME] control again switches the instrument to the TransAcoustic mode.

Reproducing a natural sound distance sensation (even when using headphones)—Binaural Sampling and Stereophonic Optimizer
This instrument features two advanced technologies that allow you to enjoy exceptionally realistic, natural
Binaural Sampling (CFX Grand Voice only)
Binaural Sampling is a method that uses two special microphones set at the ear position of a performer and records the sound from a piano as it would actually be heard. Listening to the sound with this effect through headphones gives the impression of being immersed in the sound, as if it was actually emanating from the piano. When the CFX Grand Voice is selected, binaural sampled sound is produced.
Stereophonic Optimizer (Piano Voices other than CFX Grand)
Stereophonic Optimizer is an effect which reproduces the natural sound distance, like with the sound of
Binaural Sampling, even though you are listening to it on headphones. When one of the Piano Voices other
than CFX Grand (page 64) is selected, the Stereophonic Optimizer is enabled.

You can change the tempo of MIDI Song or the speed of Audio Song during playback. It can
be adjusted in the same operation as the metronome tempo. For details, refer to page 34.
Tempo
MIDI Songs:
The tempo can be adjusted from 5 to 500 beats per minutes. It can also be adjusted while the Song is paused. When the Song stops, it reset to the default setting.
Audio Songs:
Compared to an original speed of 100%, it can be adjusted over the range of
75% – 125%. The setting value is maintained until another Song is selected.
Speed (%)
NOTE
• For MIDI Songs having tempo changes in the middle of the Song, changing the tempo alters entire tempo relatively. For example, in a Song that is set to a tempo of 100 at the start and changes midway during the Song to 120, changing the starting tempo to 110 (10% faster) will result in a midway tempo of 132 (10% faster).
• When the MIDI Song tempo is changed, the metronome tempo is also changed to the same tempo. The Audio Song speed does not affect the metronome tempo.
• While the Audio Song is paused and the metronome is played back, this operation changes only the metronome tempo and the Audio Song speed is not changed.

3 (Pure Minor)
4 (Pythagorean)
5 (Mean-Tone)
6 (Werckmeister)
7 (Kirnberger)
The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with each half-step evenly spaced in pitch. This is the most commonly used tuning in music today.
These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale, especially for triad chords (root, third, fifth). You can hear this best in actual vocal harmonies — such as choirs and a cappella singing.
This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and is created from a series of perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this tuning are slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some leads.
This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by making the major third interval more “in tune.” It was especially popular from the 16th century to the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale.
This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger systems, which were themselves improvements on the mean-tone and
Pythagorean scales. The main feature of this scale is that each key has its own unique character. The scale was used extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven, and even now it is often used when performing period music on the harpsichord.

This is effective only when headphones are connected.
Since the sound of Binaural Sampling and the sound enhanced with the Stereophonic Optimizer are optimized for listening with headphones, we recommend that you set this function to “OFF” in the following situation.
You should turn these functions off when:
• Playing the sound of this instrument with an external powered speaker system or a mixer, while monitoring the sound output from this instrument on connected headphones.
• Making an Audio Recording (page 27) and then playing the recorded Audio Song through speakers. (If

VRM (Virtual Resonance Modeling) technology
On an actual acoustic piano, if you press the damper pedal and play a key, not only does the string of the pressed key vibrate, it also causes other strings and the soundboard to vibrate, with each influencing the rest, creating a rich and brilliant resonance that sustains and spreads. The VRM (Virtual Resonance
Modeling) technology featured in this unit reproduces the complicated interaction of both string and soundboard resonance faithfully using a virtual musical instrument (physical modeling), and makes the sound more like a real acoustic piano. Since instantaneous resonance is made at the moment according to the state of the keyboard or pedal, you can vary the sound expressively by changing the timing of your pressing the keys, and the timing and depth of your pressing the pedal.

What is Aliquot?
Aliquot is a stringing method for pianos that uses extra, un-struck strings in the upper octaves to enhance the tone. These strings sympathetically vibrate with other strings in an acoustic piano, resonating with overtones, and adding richness, brilliance and complex color to the sound. Since they do not have a damper, they will continue sounding even after you release your hands from the keyboard.
