C1
CFX Grand
Yamaha’s CFX flagship concert grand piano sound with a wide dynamic range for maximum
expressive control. Suitable for playing in any music genre and style.
Binaural CFX
Grand
Yamaha’s CFX flagship concert grand piano sound sampled by Binaural Sampling, the method
optimized for headphone use. Listening this through headphones gives the impression of being
immersed in the sound, as if it was actually emanating from the piano. This Voice is selected
automatically when headphones are connected.
C
♯
1 Bösendorfer
The famed sound of the Vienna-made Bösendorfer full concert grand piano. Its spacious sound
evokes the size of the instrument, and is ideal for expressing tenderness in compositions.
D1 Pop Grand
Bright piano sound. Good for clear expression and “cutting through” other instruments in an
ensemble.
D

Stage
E.Piano The sound of an electric piano using hammer-struck metallic “tines.” Soft tone when played lightly,
and an aggressive tone when played hard.
E1 DX E.Piano An electronic piano sound created by FM synthesis. Good for standard popular music.
F1 Harpsichord
The definitive instrument for baroque music. Since harpsichord uses plucked strings, there is no
touch response. There is, however, a characteristic additional sound when the keys are released.
F
♯
1 Vibraphone Vibraphone played with relatively soft mallets. The tone becomes more metallic the harder you play.
G1 Pipe Organ
This is a typical pipe organ sound (8 feet + 4 feet + 2 feet). Good for sacred music from the Baroque
period.
G
♯
1 Jazz Organ
The sound of a “tonewheel” type electric organ. Often heard in jazz and rock music. The rotary speed
of the rotary speaker effect can be switched by using the left pedal.
A1 Strings
Stereo-sampled, large-scale strings ensemble with realistic reverb. Try combining this Voice with
piano in the Dual mode.
