Main Features
Stylish and sophisticated digital piano
The H01 combines true piano sound in a modern, attractive cabinet that evokes the beauty of a real acoustic grand
piano—adding sophistication and musical expressiveness to your living space.
Authentic Acoustic Piano—like Touch Natural Wood Keyboard
The special Natural Wood keyboard uses real wood (on the white keys), to reproduce as closely as possible the experi-
ence of playing an actual acoustic grand piano. The authentic touch and feel of the keys goes far beyond existing elec-
tronic keyboards, realistically recreating the hardness of the keys, the balance between the weight of the key and
hammer, and the characteristic weight gradations of the keys—heavy in the low end, light in the high register—to
make you feel as if you’re playing a real grand piano. Moreover, this specially crafted keyboard lets you use techniques
only possible on grand pianos, such as playing the same note successively and having the sounds blend smoothly even
without use of the damper pedal, or playing the same key quickly and having perfect articulation without the sound
cutting off unnaturally.
AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling
The Yamaha H01 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 feature totally new samples painstakingly recorded from a full concert grand piano.
And the voice feature three velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sampling), special Sustain Sampling (page 15) that
samples 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 H01 comes much closer to the
sound of a true acoustic piano.
