Welcome to the World of CVP!
This new CVP model is equipped with a convenient touch screen, enabling visual and intuitive control over virtually all
instrument functions. Simply by touching this large and easy-to-see display, you can select desired items, enable and
control various features, or edit parameter values—with greater ease and speed than ever before!
The instrument also has many advanced features that enhance your musical enjoyment and expand your creative and
performance possibilities. Let’s take a look…
This instrument features gorgeous piano Voices, created with
samples of the Yamaha CFX flagship concert grand piano and
the famous Bösendorfer* concert grand piano, as well as the
“GrandTouch Keyboard” which reproduces the authentic touch
and feel of an actual grand piano. Its improved keyboard
mechanism provides a wider range of touch response, with
exceptionally expressive control from pianissimo to fortissimo.
This instrument also features VRM which accurately recreates
the acoustic resonance of a grand piano, which changes subtly by
the timing and strength of the player’s touch and pedal
operation. This enables expression of even the most delicate
performance nuances and responds minutely to your pedal use
and key playing. Moreover, advanced technologies such as Binaural Sampling give you the impression of being
thoroughly immersed in the sound, as if it was actually emanating from the piano—even when listening to the sound
through headphones.
The Piano Room features provide even greater piano performance enjoyment. Piano Room lets you select the desired
piano type as well as different room ambiences—enabling a complete, realistic piano experience, as if you were playing
an actual piano. What’s more, you can play along with other virtual “session” players, and enjoy a convincing band-like
performance experience with other musical instruments.
* Bösendorfer is a subsidiary company of Yamaha.

Naturally, the CVP provides many realistic piano Voices for your playing enjoyment. But it also features a wide variety
of authentic instruments, both acoustic and electronic, including organ, guitar, sax, and others used in many music
genres—letting you convincingly perform in any desired music style. Moreover, the special Super Articulation Voices
realistically recreate many of the performance techniques and characteristic sounds generated when an artist plays an
instrument. The result is superbly detailed expression—such as the realistic sound of finger slides on guitar, and the
expressive breath noises of saxophone and other wind instruments.
