Yamaha P-100 Owner's Manual page 5

THANK YOU! ... for purchasing the Yamaha Clavinova PF Series P-100. The P-100 is a high-performance
electronic piano with ten voices and a host of functions that make it an ideal instrument for professional
stage and studio applications, as well as for use at home. Its features include the following:
l l
High quality AWM sound
The P-100 features a selection of ten voices and a
maximum simultaneous note output of 32 poly-
phonic notes. All of the voices were recorded us-
ing the latest sampling techniques, then processed
using Yamaha's patented AWM sound generation
technology.
l l
Superior piano sound
Among the P-100's voices are two authentic piano
sounds that are samples of actual acoustic instru-
ments. One is a grand piano sound, with rich bass
tones and sparkling high notes that capture the
natural reverb characteristics of a real grand piano.
The other is a bright contemporary piano that will
make a perfect addition to any band.
l l
Digital signal processing
The P-100 has a built-in digital signal processor
unit that provides full stereo reverb, chorus,
symphonic, and tremolo effects, as well as an
easy-to-control three-band equalizer that lets you
tailor the P-100's sound to suit your taste.
l l
Touch-sensitive keyboard
The P-100's full-sized 88-note piano keyboard
incorporates Yamaha's Action Effect keyboard
technology, which gives it the feel and response of
a real piano keyboard. You can even adjust the
keyboard's sensitivity to suit your playing style,
selecting from Normal, Soft, Hard, or Fixed
settings.
l l
Dual and Split voice modes
The P-100 features Dual and Split voice modes
that let you play combinations of two voices
at once. In Split mode, the key transpose values
can even be set independently for each voice.
The P-100 thus gives you a wide range of perfor-
mance flexibility in a single piano keyboard.
l l
MIDI control capability
The P-100 offers many of the control features
found on a MIDI master keyboard: velocity sensi-
tivity, pitch bend and modulation wheels, an
assignable data slider, program change send and
receive capabilities, and MIDI transpose and
MIDI merge functions. Also, in addition to jacks
for sustain, soft, and sostenuto pedals, the P-100
gives you the option of connecting a MIDI foot
controller that can be assigned in the same manner
as the continuous slider.
