Made To Be Played

Like all fine instruments, the CP series keyboards simplybeg to be played. Sit down with one, and the instrument becomes an extension ofyour hands and your musical imagination. The authentic piano voices and richexpressiveness come alive at your touch, and the sound is big enough to blastthrough a full band onstage - yet nuanced enough to work magic in an intimateclub.

Expressive Power

Yamaha's extensive experience in crafting fine acousticpianos helps us in creating the ultimate digital pianos. Our advanced GradedHammer Effect (GHE) action gives all keys an authentic resistance thatincreases from the top register to the lower - just as on an actual acousticpiano. Which means that you can naturally pound out thunderous low notes withyour left hand and let the fingers on your right dance and fly with the highnotes.

Sound Choice

In crafting the authentic sound of the CP series, we usedmeticulously recorded stereo samples of top-quality instruments, taken atvarious playing strengths, and included subtle elements such as StringResonance, Stereo Sustain, and even Key-Off Samples that capture the feltdampers muting the piano strings - providing the most authentic sounding andfinely nuanced acoustic piano voices possible.

Stay In Control

The CP stage pianos are also master keyboard controllersthat give you full command of your gear. Play and control external tonegenerators (such as the MOTIF-RACK ES). Assign different voices to differentkeyboard sections and create multi-textured layers of sound. Two instrumentZones on the CP33 (four on the CP300), with panel sliders, let you easily tweakthe level of each instrument as you play. You can also freely reassign thesliders and wheels to control other sonic characteristics of your gear, such assound attack, decay, brightness and filter cutoff.

Take Center Stage

Step out front and make your presence known. The CP serieshas a special Mono Piano sound, complete with a compression effect, designedspecifically for live performance. It has the punch and power to stand out,even in full band situations.

Lock It Up

Onstage, you need to make sure everything goes smoothly.Sometimes an errant hand (yours or someone else's) can touch the panel controlsand change your special settings, giving you a rude surprise in the middle ofyour performance. The Panel Lock button lets you prevent that, keeping allsettings fixed and secure, until you're ready to change them yourself.

Light and compact

Despite its full 88-key keyboard, realistic grand piano soundand extensive features, the CP33 is exceptionally compact, light and portable.It goes wherever you go, sets up anywhere you need, and gives you completepiano performance everywhere you play.

Pedal to the Metal

The CP series keyboards give you the same pedal control asan actual grand piano. Sustain, Soft and Sostenuto jacks are available on theCP33 - along with a fourth pedal input for controlling other sound settings -while the CP33 has a Sustain and an AUX jack (for Soft, Sostenuto, or even Expression).On certain piano sounds, Sustain can be partially applied - reproducing the"half-damper" effect of slightly muting the resonating strings on areal piano.
