The Sound of Full Concert Grand Piano – Pure CF Sampling
This instrument features samples from Yamaha's most renowned full concert grand piano, the CFIIIS, and
employs meticulous processing and adjustment of each sample to achieve an extraordinarily realistic grand
piano sound. You can conveniently call this up by a single panel button press. Enjoy the exceptionally
expressive and delicate sound, with full, natural dynamic range.
Authentic Acoustic Piano-like Touch
Just as on an actual grand piano, the lower keys are heavy in touch and the higher keys are light, with all the
natural gradations in between. The CVP-509/505/503 provide the performance functions and expressive
power found only on grand pianos, such as having repeated plays of the same note perfectly articulated, even
when playing at high speed or with partial key release.
The Acoustic Ambience of a Grand Piano—with the iAFC
Feature (only CVP-509) ................page 34
By setting the iAFC (Instrumental Active Field Control) effect
properly, you can enjoy the sound expand around you—as if you’re
playing on stage in a concert hall—providing a remarkably natural
sound heretofore only found on acoustic instruments, and an overall
sound which is deeper and more resonant through use of the damper
pedal.
Play a Wide Variety of Instrument Voices
Chapter 2 Voices
The instrument gives you not only various realistic piano Voices, but
also features an exceptionally wide variety of authentic instruments,
both acoustic and electronic.
Perform Along with a Backing Band
Chapter 3 Styles
Playing a chord with your left hand automatically plays the auto
accompaniment backing (Style function). Select an accompaniment
style — such as pop, jazz, Latin, and various other music genres in
the world — and let the instrument be your backing band!
