More About The Yamaha CLP885 Clavinova Digital Piano Yamaha CLP885: The Pinnacle of Digital Piano Innovation The Yamaha CLP885 stands at the forefront of the Clavinova series, combining cutting-edge digital technology with traditional piano craftsmanship. The GrandTouch keyboard, featuring wooden keys and synthetic ebony and ivory keytops, offers an unmatched tactile experience, providing the authentic feel of a grand piano. Its escapement mechanism and 88-key Linear Graded Hammers further enhance the realism, replicating the nuanced touch of an acoustic instrument. With the GP Response Damper Pedal, players can precisely control sustain and resonance, achieving a deeper level of expression. The CLP885 showcases meticulously sampled sounds from Yamaha’s CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial grand pianos, along with four fortepiano voices, enriched by Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) for an immersive sound experience. Its powerful, high-fidelity speaker system delivers a rich, full-bodied sound, while Bluetooth connectivity and SmartPianist app compatibility add modern convenience, making the CLP885 an ideal choice for professional musicians and serious piano enthusiasts.
GrandTouch Keyboard with Counterweights The GrandTouch keyboard on the CLP885, with its synthetic ebony and ivory keytops and wooden white keys, delivers a truly authentic piano-playing experience. The keytops offer a tactile surface that mimics the texture and moisture-absorbing properties of natural ivory and ebony, ensuring a comfortable and non-slip feel during play. The wooden white keys enhance the natural touch, providing balanced and responsive action. The escapement mechanism recreates the subtle click felt in an acoustic grand piano when pressing keys lightly, allowing for delicate and nuanced play. Additionally, the 88-key Linear Graded Hammers system ensures that each key has a unique weight, replicating the heavier feel of bass notes and the lighter touch of treble notes, offering a more realistic and expressive performance. Counterweights inside the keys balance the touch response, making the playing experience remarkably similar to that of an acoustic grand piano, particularly in faster passages or when varying pressure.
CFX & Bösendorfer Piano Voices Yamaha’s Clavinova pianos feature the exquisite voices of two of the world’s most celebrated grand pianos: the Yamaha CFX and the Bösendorfer Imperial. The Yamaha CFX, known for its bright, powerful sound, offers a rich tonal palette with exceptional clarity and resonance, making it versatile across musical genres. In contrast, the Bösendorfer Imperial, with its warm, lush tones, delivers a distinctively Viennese character, ideal for classical compositions and expressive performances. These carefully sampled voices bring the authentic sound and nuanced expressiveness of these legendary pianos into the digital realm, allowing Clavinova players to experience the grandeur and subtlety of two iconic instruments within a single versatile piano.
Grand Expression Modeling Yamaha’s Grand Expression Modeling technology enhances the feel and sound of digital pianos, making them more closely resemble traditional grand pianos. This technology captures the nuanced differences in sound depending on how forcefully or softly you press the keys, mirroring the complex interplay between hammers, strings, and pedals found in an acoustic piano. This realistic response ensures that when you play, the piano reacts just like a grand piano would, offering a richer and more expressive playing experience.
Yamaha GrandTouch Pedals The Yamaha GrandTouch pedals on Clavinova pianos offer a highly realistic feel and dynamic control, closely mimicking the response of acoustic grand piano pedals. They enable precise control over sustain, allowing for varied note-holding and nuanced expression, supporting advanced techniques and intricate performances. These pedals extend the expressive range of the Clavinova, ensuring consistent, high-quality performance over time, making it an excellent choice for both practice and professional use.
GP Response Damper Pedal The Yamaha GP Response Damper Pedal is an innovative feature that replicates the nuanced feel and response of a grand piano's damper pedal. This advanced mechanism provides variable resistance, meaning the pedal responds differently depending on the pressure applied, just like in an acoustic grand piano. This allows pianists to execute half-pedaling and other intricate techniques with precision, offering greater control over sustain and resonance. By mimicking the mechanical characteristics of a grand piano pedal, the GP Response Damper Pedal enhances the expressive capabilities of digital pianos, delivering a more authentic and dynamic playing experience.
Virtual Resonance Modeling Yamaha’s enhanced Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) technology elevates the realism of digital pianos by simulating the complex resonances and interactions found in acoustic pianos. In an acoustic piano, pressing a key causes vibrations not only in that string but also in other strings and the soundboard, creating a rich, resonant sound. Improved VRM captures these interactions, allowing for a dynamic and expressive playing experience. It considers factors like key press timing and intensity and pedal usage to generate authentic reverberations and tonal variations, resulting in a natural and immersive sound that closely mirrors the experience of playing a high-quality acoustic grand piano.
Immersive Concert Grand Experience with Headphones The CLP885 offers a fully immersive concert grand experience, even when using headphones, through binaural sampling of the Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer pianos. Binaural sampling involves placing special microphones on a mannequin's head at the pianist's ear positions, capturing piano sounds as they are heard in reality. This method creates the ambience and natural resonance of an acoustic piano, making pianists feel as though they are sitting at a grand piano, even when using headphones. This experience is so comfortable and engaging that pianists may forget they are wearing headphones, no matter how long they play. Yamaha’s Stereophonic Optimizer function replicates this effect for other piano voices, providing a natural sound diffusion through headphones nearly as accurately as binaural sampling.
16-Track Song Recorder The Yamaha CLP885 features a 16-track song recorder that enhances practice, composition, and performance by allowing multi-layered recordings directly on the piano. This capability enables complex arrangements and detailed practice, as players can playback and analyse their performances. It is also a valuable tool for composers, allowing them to experiment with different sounds and arrangements. Recorded tracks can be saved, transferred, and integrated into broader production setups, and they can be used to create backing tracks or accompaniments for live performances, adding depth and professionalism. This recorder significantly expands creative possibilities for musicians of all levels.
USB Audio Recorder The USB audio recorder on the CLP885 allows musicians to capture their performances and practice sessions without needing additional equipment, offering convenience and portability. Recorded files can be easily transferred to a computer for further editing, sharing, or archiving, making this feature ideal for students tracking their progress, teachers preparing lessons, and performers creating demos. Additionally, listening to recordings helps players analyse and improve their technique, fostering continuous learning and development.
Bluetooth AUDIO + MIDI The CLP885 comes equipped with Bluetooth AUDIO and MIDI capabilities. Bluetooth audio enables streaming sound to or from the piano, enhancing listening and play-along experiences, while Bluetooth MIDI allows for transmitting performance data, supporting interactive learning, composing, and advanced musical control.
Compatible with Yamaha Smart Pianist App The Yamaha Smart Pianist app is a versatile, user-friendly tool designed to enhance the digital piano experience. Available for smartphones and tablets, it allows players to control their Yamaha digital piano with ease, offering features like adjusting settings, selecting voices, and recording performances. The app includes a wide range of built-in songs and sheet music and can even analyse songs from your music library to create chord charts, helping you play along with your favourite tunes. With its intuitive interface and powerful functionalities, the Smart Pianist app makes learning, practising, and performing more interactive and enjoyable
