Main Features

Graded Hammer Effect Keyboard
Thanks to our experience as the world's leading manufacturer of acoustic pianos, we've developed a keyboard with
action that's virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Just as on a traditional acoustic piano, the keys of the lower
notes have a heavier touch, while the higher ones are more responsive to lighter playing. The keyboard's sensitivity can
even be adjusted to match your playing style.
AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling
The Yamaha P-140 Electronic piano offers unmatched sonic realism and natural grand-piano type playability as well as
Yamaha's original AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling tone generation technology for rich, musical voices.
The Grand Piano 1, 2 and 3 voices feature totally new samples painstakingly recorded from a full concert grand piano.
The Grand Piano 1 and 3 voices feature three velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sampling), special Sustain Sam-
pling (page 43) that samples the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano's soundboard and strings when the sus-
tain pedal is pressed, and Keyoff Samples that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are released. The P-140
comes much closer to the sound of a true acoustic piano.
