General
Normally, a digital piano is an affordable and space-efficient alternative to a real grand piano. However, Yamaha saw the possibilities that digital technology offered, and designed the Yamaha CVP-705PE (Polished Ebony). As such, it has plenty of additional features, such as a multitude of different sounds (1,497 of them), and automatic backing styles. Furthermore, this glossy black Clavinova also has an NWX keyboard. Together with the realistic sounds of the Yamaha CFX and the Bösendorfer Imperial grand pianos, these highly realistic keys make you feel as if you’re sitting behind a real grand.
CVP-705PE: top quality for every pianist
The CVP-705PE is also an excellent choice for beginners who want to hit the ground running. Besides an exceptionally well-organised control panel - including a touch-sensitive colour display - it also has the Follow Lights feature. These guiding lights will help you to play certain songs or parts by showing you which keys to press. In any case, whether you’re a beginner or a professional, you’ll be blown away by this instrument’s incredible sound. Compared to the CVP-701, it has double the speakers (four, instead of two), allowing for an even richer sound. Furthermore, the Vocal Harmony features will automatically generate harmonies to accompany the sound of your voice when your mic is plugged into the piano.
Piano Room and USB
A particularly inspiring feature of the CVP-700 series' pianos is the Piano Room. This is home to not only top-quality grand piano sounds, but also to various classic electric pianos, as well as the Session Mode. The latter mode has three virtual musicians standing by to accompany you 'live' in one of forty available styles. Besides your harmonies, they also follow your volume and intensity, thanks to the Dynamics Control feature. Do you want to record your playing? No problem! Connect a USB stick, and everything will be stored in WAV file format. You can also play back WAV files, and even adjust their tempo and pitch.
