The CLP Series of digital pianos utilizes cutting-edge technology to recreate the experience of performing on a grand piano, allowing the pianist to play the keys with many variations of speed and depth to achieve an unlimited variation in tone and create uniquely personal performances. With expressive capabilities approaching those of a grand piano, the CLP-700 Series is sure to make playing the piano so much more enjoyable than ever before.
Clavinova pianos are loaded with convenient features only digital pianos can deliver. You can use headphones to keep your surroundings quiet, or connect a Bluetooth® device to your Clavinova for playback through its speakers. Also, connect to Yamaha’s app, Smart Pianist, to gain extra help for your piano practice. The touch-sensitive control panel only displays text when it is on—when the panel is off, it has the smooth finish of a keyblock just like an acoustic piano.
The Allure of the CLP-700 Series
Playability
Featuring the latest GrandTouch™ keyboard with a broad dynamic range of touch and response on the level of a grand piano. Excellent consistency and nuanced expression give the pianist the utmost control over touch.
Sensitivity
Grand Expression Modeling is a groundbreaking new technology that enables the pianist to use their techniques to produce the limitless tonal variation unique to grand pianos. The ability to vary the intensity and speed of touch to produce different tones adds another dimension to the joy of musical expression.
Sound Quality
Virtual Resonance Modeling performs real-time modeling of the sympathetic resonance created by the behavior of the strings and body of the instrument—the foundation of the beautiful sound of a genuine grand piano. Also, the latest acoustic design technology delivers lifelike concert grand piano tone and resonance to your home for you to enjoy.
Key Features
- GrandTouch™ Keyboard – action features a broad dynamic range and faithful response to every nuance of touch that puts a wide expanse of tone, from delicate to bold, at the pianist’s fingertips. Featuring wooden keys and highly absorbent synthetic-ivory white and ebony black keys, prevent slipping even during extended play and feel just like those of a grand piano.
- 88-key Linear Graded Hammers – the first digital piano keyboard ever to feature realistic weighting on every key. This results in a feel and response that is astonishingly like that of a grand piano, and allows players to gain an appreciation of a more authentic touch.
- Escapement Mechanism of Clavinova Keyboards – reproduces the slight clicking sensation experienced when playing a grand piano when the keys are pressed gently. These keyboards have been adjusted to provide additional friction that balances key repetition and response without impeding performance.
- GP Response Damper Pedal – feature a damper pedal that continually detects depression depth and allows halfpedaling, which lets players make minute adjustments to pedal depression and return, changing the depth and character of their piano sound.
- Touch Sensor Control Panel – displays text when it is on — when the panel is off, it has the smooth finish of a keyblock.
- Grand Expression Modeling – responds to the subtlest nuances of your touch, creating a limitless range of tonal expression of a grand piano. “Touch” refers to control, not only of intensity (softness/loudness) in playing, but also of the speed and depth with which the keys are pressed.
- Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial – piano samples bring two of the world’s finest and most prominent concert grand pianos to your fingertips.
- Virtual Resonance Modeling (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.
- Binaural Sampling – technology delivers a three-dimensional sound, which recreates the perspective of the player position through headphones.
- Stereophonic Optimizer – replicates the natural diffusion of sound in headphones nearly as closely as binaural sampling for the piano voices other than the CFX and Imperial.
- Period Instrument Voices – equipped with the voices of the fortepiano, the predecessor to the modern piano. Hearing the sounds of the instruments played when the likes of Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin were composing their songs should illuminate the original intent behind the notes on the page.
- Grand Acoustic Imaging – latest acoustic design and measuring technology create the same sound image and sound field of a grand piano despite the compact size of the digital piano. We optimally balanced and placed the bass, mid, and treble speakers to achieve the sound radiation and centroid characteristic of grand pianos so that each and every tone played through the speakers sounds like it was emitted from the proper place on an actual grand piano.
- Rhythm Playback – comes complete with 20 different and simple rhythm patterns (drums and bass accompaniment) that are perfectly suited to many types of music.
- Smart Pianist App – a dedicated app that adds a beautiful graphic interface and a variety of incredible features to your compatible Yamaha digital piano.
- Multi-track Song Recorder – allows you to record up to 16 tracks, in MIDI format, for simultaneous playback with a single touch.
- Connect Wirelessly for Bluetooth® Audio – play music through the audio system on the Clavinova by using a Bluetooth-enabled smart device. You can enjoy playing along with any songs on your smart device.
