CLP-955
Introduction
Thank you for choosing a Yamaha Clavinova. Your Clavinova is a fine musical instrument that employs
advanced Yamaha music technology. With the proper care, your Clavinova will give you many years of
musical pleasure.
●
The Clavinova CLP-955 digital piano offers unmatched sonic realism and natural grand-
piano type playability with Yamaha’s original “AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling” tone genera-
tion technology for rich, musical voices, and a special “Graded Hammer” keyboard which
provides graded key weight and response throughout the keyboard range. The grand piano
voices feature totally new samples painstakingly recorded from a full concert grand piano.
The GRAND PIANO 1 voice features multiple velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sam-
pling), a “Soundboard Reverb” effect which accurately simulates the resonance of a piano
soundboard, special “Sustain Samples” which recreate 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.
●
Dual mode allows 2 voices to be played simultaneously.
●
Split mode allows different voices to be played by the left and right hands.
●
Metronome feature with variable tempo facilitates practice.
●
2-track digital recorder lets you record and play back anything you play on the keyboard.
●
MIDI compatibility and a range of MIDI functions make the Clavinova useful in a range of
advanced MIDI music systems.
●
Built-in computer interface for direct connection to personal computers running advanced
music software.
In order to make the most of your Clavinova’s performance potential and features, we urge you to read
this Owner’s Manual thoroughly, and keep it in a safe place for later reference.
