Yamaha CP4 Stage Piano - Ex Demo

Full Description

The sounds heard in the CP4 Stage come from Yamaha's Premium Grand Pianos. One of the largest acoustic piano manufacturers in the world, Yamaha have acess to a huge selection of sounds and have brought them to the 'Premium GP' CP4 Stage.

The handpicked sounds include samples from the CFX and CFIIIS full concert grand pianos. Both have exquisite tone that extends across the whole dynamic range. A bright, full and resonant sound with an authoritative bass, the CP4 is perfectly suited to an ensemble performance.

The S6 samples offer a warmer, more delicate sound with a subtle depth, ideal for accompanying vocals or quiet ballads.

It's not just Yamaha's celebrated acoustic piano sounds that are included on the CP4. There are many Vintage Electric Piano voices too, enhanced by Yamaha's Virtual Circuitry Modeling technology.

The CP80 is an electric grand piano in the truest sense, winning over professional players with its pronounced attack and unique harmonic overtones, converting authentic grand piano action into an electrical signal. Other vintage electric pianos include the DX7, part of Yamaha's DX Series. The DX's were Yamaha's first digital synthesizers, with an impressive variety of sounds that quickly found homes in many different musical scenes.

The RDI and RDII will take you back to the '70s the moment you play, whether you're performing a classic ballad, jazz standard or after the percussive attack heard in many rock classics of that era, and the Wr, a pioneering electric piano, offers everything from thick, powerful tone of early electric pianos to a brighter clarity found in later models.

All the voices in the CP4 accurately reproduce the playing characteristics of the originals, and adapt to the strength of your playing. A lighter touch will result in a more delicate tone, and heavier playing will present a thicker sound.

Easy to Use

It's not difficult to access all of the sounds on the CP4. The simple, intuitive interface gives you instant access to all the controls that you need. Call up sounds quickly and easily, and store your favourites by category for quick recall during a performance.

Layer and split can be activated with a single touch. Easy to see even on the darkest stages, the buttons are large and lit. The Main Solo button lets you go back to playing piano across the entire keyboard with the touch of a button.

Perfect Piano Feel

Wooden-key action gives you the perfect piano touch and response. The CP4 keys are made from wood and feature synthetic ivory keytops and Grade Hammer action, giving you a similar feel to a grand piano.

Portable, Stylish Design

The slim design of the CP4 makes it easy to transport. It's incredibly light at less than 18kg and combines portability with an elegant style in a professional package.
