Main Features
Graded Hammer Effect Keyboard
Thanks to our experience as the world’s leading manufacturer of acoustic pianos, we’ve developed a keyboard with
action that’s virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Just as on a traditional acoustic piano, the keys of the lower
notes have a heavier touch, while the higher ones are more responsive to lighter playing. The keyboard’s sensitivity can
even be adjusted to match your playing style.
Dynamic Stereo Sampling
The Yamaha N-100 Digital piano offers unmatched sonic realism and natural grand-piano type playability as well as
Yamaha’s original AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling tone generation technology for rich, musical voices.
The Grand Piano 1 voice features totally new samples painstakingly recorded from a full concert grand piano. The
Grand Piano 1 voice features three velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sampling), special Sustain Sampling (page 15)
that use samples of the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings when the sustain pedal
is pressed, and Keyoff Samples that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are released. The N-100 comes much
closer to the sound of a true acoustic piano.
