Overview of SCM (Spectral Component Modeling)
The Spectral Component Modeling system starts with
a fundamentally different tone generation system
than Yamaha has ever used before. This system allows
physical components of the instrument (hardness of
the hammers, resonance of the sound board, striking
position of the hammers) to be modeled. It also uses
a complete different method of playback than normal
sampling technology. Rather than multi-velocity layers
of samples, SCM uses granular parametric data so
every nuance of the player’s touch is translated into
expressive tone. However, SCM is not just this core
sound system. Just as important to reproducing many
vintage electronic pianos are the preamps and vintage
effects settings that were used to create those legendary
sounds. The CP series includes Virtual Circuit Modeling
effects (like those found on Yamaha’s high-end digital
mixers and Motif series workstations). These VCM effects
recreate the phasers, compressors and vintage stomp
boxes that were such an integral part of those famous
sounds. From acoustic pianos that respond naturally to
the player’s touch, to faithful recreations of vintage stage
pianos from the 60s, 70s and 80s, SCM was developed to
satisfy players’ need to express their passion for playing
on stage and communicate it to the audience.

The CFIIIS is the crowning glory of Yamaha's concert grand piano range.
Distinctive for its rich harmonic overtones, this piano marries a rich,
deep low-mid register with clear and bright highs.
Delivering a warm, deep sound, the S6B is ideal for extremely
expressive performances combining both power and subtlety that
matches to all music genres.
Reproducing the classic sound of the Yamaha CP80 Electric Grand Piano, the
CP80 piano type can also be used to recreate an unique “Eighties” feel by
boosting the high frequencies with the accompanying pre-amplifier.
Synonymous with “electric piano,” the Rd I has various sound variations for
each model. It recreates the airy feeling of Rd I pianos from each era.
A pop sound brighter than the Rd I. Its reconstructed amp reproduces the
sound of the ‘80s when high boost reached the extreme degree.
An electric piano sound rivaling the Rd for top popularity. When played lightly,
the sound is sweet and delicate; when played strongly, it is earthy and funky.
Its unique distortion sound is appealing.
Produced by laying hard, high-order harmonic overtones that change
delicately in response to touch over a warm, wide characteristic tone,
DX7's electric piano sound took to world by storm.
