Features - Yamaha Clavinova CLP-170 Owner's Manual

Features

The Yamaha CLP-170/150 Clavinova features rich sounds produced by Yamaha's proprietary "AWM dynamic stereo
sampling" tone generator system, a "Graded Hammer" keyboard (CLP-150) that varies the key weight according to
the key range, and a "GH3" keyboard (CLP-170) that enhances the graded hammer keyboard by allowing you to play
a note to be played repeatedly without pressing the pedal, giving these electronic pianos a "playing-feel" that is very
close to the keyboard of a genuine grand piano. The CLP-170/150 GrandPiano1 voice features 3 velocity-switched
samples (Dynamic Sampling), "String Resonance" (page 93) that recreates resonance of piano strings, special "Sus-
tain Sampling" (page 93)that samples the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano's soundboard and strings
when the damper pedal is pressed, and "Key-off Samples" that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are
released. The CLP-170/150 comes much closer to the sound of a true acoustic piano.
