Features

Full-scale piano performance
This instrument features a piano Voice created with samples of the Yamaha CFX flagship concert grand piano, as
well as a special keyboard that reproduces the natural touch response and expressive nuances of an actual concert
grand piano, including rapid repetitive capability. Another featured Voice has the sounds of the famous
Bösendorfer* concert grand piano, giving you even greater choice in selecting the perfect piano Voice for your
performances. Moreover, the CLP-585/575 features a VRM function, which simulates the luscious effect of string
resonance on acoustic pianos—where the vibration of one string causes other strings and the soundboard to
sympathetically vibrate. This enables expression of even the most subtle nuances and responds minutely to your
pedal use and key playing. On the CLP-545/535/565GP, similarly luscious and expressive effects are created by
the Damper Resonance and String Resonance features. Altogether, these models deliver widely variegated and
rich sounds that are faithful to actual acoustic pianos.
* Bösendorfer is a subsidiary company of Yamaha.
Song playback for both listening enjoyment and
practice purposes
Also built into this instrument are 50 famous classic piano Songs, plus 303 lesson Songs for mastering the piano.
You can simply enjoy listening to these built-in Songs, or use them for separate right-hand/left-hand practicing.*
The 303 lesson Songs consist of practice pieces taken from various standard piano instruction manuals, including
"The Virtuoso Pianist. "
*The part on/off function is available only for MIDI songs that have both right- and left-hand parts.
Twenty different rhythms
Playing along with one of the twenty basic rhythms built into the instrument is a great way to add excitement to
your performances. They feature a variety of different patterns from jazz, popular music, and the like, to give you
what you need to make playing more fun and lively.
Recording your performances
The instrument lets you save your performance to internal memory or a USB flash memory (sold separately).
You can record your performance using one of two methods, MIDI or Audio recording, according to your needs.
MIDI recording is ideal for making independent tracks—for example, recording a right-hand part to Track 1
first, and then a left-hand part to Track 2—allowing you to create pieces that would be difficult to play live with
both hands together. Audio recording on the other hand, saves recorded data in stereo, CD-quality WAV format
to a USB flash memory, for storing to computer and playing on portable music players.
