Resonant, multi-dimensional soundfield
The unique sound space that is created when you play an acoustic piano — the resonance
between strings and the resonance from the piano’s frame or body — is realized in the HP500
series through a complex and yet harmonious combination of elements. The HP507 and HP505
create this realistic sound space through Acoustic Projection technology, which marries the
multi-dimensional sound system found in our flagship V-Piano Grand with the SuperNATURAL
Piano sound engine. The HP507 comes with six specially designed speakers that are located
properly to project each element in its natural position — from the resonant tones emanating
from the top that engulf the player (Spatial speakers) to the direct and dynamic sounds that
the player senses as the hammer hits the strings (Nearfield speakers), as well as the resonant
and dynamic lows that are produced near the player’s feet (Cabinet speakers). The HP505’s
Acoustic Projection system employs four specially designed speakers, including Spatial/
Nearfield speakers and Cabinet speakers. The sound elements from each speaker are
intelligently blended to reproduce the true soundfield of an acoustic piano, resulting in a natural,
multi-dimensional listening experience.
Vibrant, immersive sound
Equipped with our acclaimed SuperNATURAL Piano Sound Engine, the HP500 series has
been designed to deliver the world’s best piano sounds. This was created through a marriage
of an 88-key multi-sampled sound engine and the award-winning technology used in our
V-Pianos. The result is a stunningly faithful reproduction of the tonal and resonant behavior of
each individual key across the keyboard.
Perfect touch
Pianos produce differences not only in volume, but also subtle
variations in tonal color depending on how forcefully the key is
struck. The HP500 series’ SuperNATURAL Piano sound engines
deliver natural and seamless changes in tonal color in response
to the player’s touch. With their expanded dynamic range, these
pianos support the most demanding and subtle techniques, just
as one would expect from an acoustic grand piano.
Natural tone
The natural decay of notes and beautiful lingering tones
are essential elements of a piano’s sound. The decaying
sound of an acoustic piano not only decreases in volume,
but also gradually changes in color to a softer tone. The
SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine replicates this natural
decay, just like an acoustic grand.
Authentic Fortepiano Onboard
In addition to the selection of onboard grand-piano sounds, the new HP500 series features a
newly added Early Piano category containing four fortepiano variations and two harpsichord
variations. Masterpieces composed by maestros such as Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin
can be played with the original sounds from the period. The
appreciation and understanding for the piece is heightened
when using the instrument that was actually used by the
composers. You can also play these early piano sounds with
built-in historic temperaments, which are ideal to play with
other classical instruments.
Unique expression in every key
Each of the 88 notes on a grand piano has its own character, due to the fact that the strings
are different sizes and lengths, are composed of different materials, and are struck by hammers
of different sizes. These differences create variations in the tonal color and resonance of each
note. For the SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine, we sampled all 88 notes of a variety of
world-class pianos and used our unique digital technology to faithfully reproduce the full, rich
tone and expressiveness of the world’s finest pianos.

Characteristics of the HP507’s speakers:
Spatial speakers:
These speakers create a unique sense of sound space in
which the player is engulfed from above by a variety of vibrant and ambient sounds,
including resonance created by the piano’s frame or when a damper pedal is pressed.
Nearfield speakers:
These produce direct and dynamic sounds that the player
will hear most directly, including string resonance and noise elements that are created from
keyboard movements. This gives the player an immediate, realistic sense of response.
Cabinet speakers:
These speakers support the entire sound with dynamic
lows and resonance from the soundboard and cabinet.

Exquisite clarity
The built-in “Piano Designer” feature lets you customize
tones by making fine adjustments to the resonance between
strings and other nuances. The Soundboard behavior
function (HP507/505/503) faithfully reproduces the behavior
of the soundboard, such as the subtle differences in
harmonic make-up and resonance based on the number
of notes played and chord-note intervals. As a result, the
HP500 series performs like a well-tuned acoustic piano
even when many notes are played at once. Each note is
perfectly defined and clear.
