Beautiful CFX Concert Grand Piano Tone and More

• The ARIUS YDP-145R offers the sound of a precisely sampled Yamaha flagship 9' CFX concert grand piano, which is sonically characterized by sparkling highs and a powerful resonant bass.
• Additional instrument sounds (10 total) include electric pianos, organs, harpsichord, and strings.
• The Layer mode allows two different instruments such as an acoustic piano and a string ensemble to be played together for a more complex sound that inspires even greater musical creativity. Choose from four types of reverb to sweeten your sound.
• With 192-note polyphony, the piano handles complex performances without cutting off notes.

GHS Keybed: Realistic Touch for Proper Finger Technique

• The company's GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) weighted-action keybed reproduces the touch and feel of an acoustic piano, from a naturally heavy feel in the lower key to a lighter touch in the upper octavesƒ??just like the hammers inside an acoustic piano.
• The 88 keys feature matte black keytops to prevent slippage caused by perspiration.
• Great for the aspiring pianist, practicing on the GHS action helps build the proper finger technique and strength for when the time comes to perform on an acoustic piano.

Experience the Harmonic Resonance of an Acoustic Grand Piano

• The YDP-145R utilizes Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite (VRM Lite) technology to reproduce the sympathetic resonance of an acoustic piano, created when the vibrations of the strings are propagated to the soundboard and other strings, and corresponding to the timing and intensity of key playing and pedaling.

Expressive Variations with Three-Pedal System

• To further enhance the YDP-145R's acoustic pianolike authenticity, the three-pedal system replicates the position and individual weighting of the damper (with half-pedal support), soft, and sostenuto pedals of the Yamaha CFX concert grand.

16W of Natural Sound with Tone Escapement Construction

• In addition to the built-in 16W stereo speaker system, the YDP-145R uses tone-escapement construction on the back of the cabinet that emanates sound from inside the piano. This allows you to experience natural sound radiation and three-dimensional resonance like that of an acoustic piano.
• A Volume Limiter function lets you set a fixed maximum volume level, to protect your hearing from loud sound over the speakers or headphones.

Comfortable Headphone Monitoring with Stereophonic Optimizer

• The YDP-145R employs technology that enhances the sound balance based on your monitoring level in the headphones. This gives you an exceptionally natural sound that's easy to listen to and gentle on the ears, great for extended playing.
• When wearing headphones, the Stereophonic Optimizer effect lets you enjoy the natural, spacious sound you would experience sitting in front of an acoustic grand piano.

Duo Mode for Playing Along with a Partner

• The convenient Duo mode allows the piano's keyboard to be split in the center, making it possible for a teacher to play on the left side while the student follows along on the right.
• Alternatively, one person can play the left-hand part on the left, while another plays the right-hand part on the right. This is especially useful when learning with a partner, letting you learn and practice parts together.
• The instrument is equipped with two headphone jacks for quiet performance or practice with two players.

Learn with 353 Built-In Songs and Lesson Features

• The YDP-145R has 353 built-in songs including 50 famous classical songs and 303 comprehensive practice exercises from famous methods such as Beyer, Burgm?¬ller, Czerny, and Hanon.
• To help you practice and perform with precision timing, the built-in metronome offers patterns with 0 to 9 beats at a tempo ranging from 5 to 280 BPMƒ??improve your timing and rhythm.
• Other lesson features include transpose and tuning.

Record Your Performance On the Fly

• The integrated two-track MIDI song recorder lets you capture and play back your performance, helpful during lessons or just for fun. Up to two Parts (left-hand and right-hand) can be recorded separately).

Intuitive Operation with Smart Pianist App

• Connect the piano to your smart device via the USB port and run the Smart Pianist app. With the app, you can easily operate the various sound functions of the instrument and call up scores of the built-in songs. It also features a comprehensive Piano Room function for changing the tonal quality and resonance settings of the piano sound.
