Yamaha S90 ES Synthesizer
The Yamaha S90 ES Synthesizer combines a stunningly natural acoustic piano sound with all the sonic flexibility of the award-winning MOTIF ES. The piano keyboard uses a new multi-velocity, stereo grand piano sample with sound board simulation and half dampening (when used with the FC3 pedal) that is incredibly rich and realistic the best Yamaha has ever put into a synthesizer. The 128-note polyphony tone generator, Studio Connections compatibility, mLAN expansion slot, and PLG expandability give it all the synthesis power and control capabilities of the Yamaha MOTIF ES line.The most expressive piano voice of any synth. Played at normal tempos and dynamic levels the sound of the Yamaha S90 ES is truly superb, but it’s at the opposite end of the tempo and dynamic range that the results are most stunning. The longer waves give each note a very natural sustain that, when used on ballads and slow, exposed pieces, plays expressively with a full, natural sound. This voice also features stretch tuning and a damper resonance effect offering even more realism. Half-damper capability - Some classic pieces call for a half damper technique where the damper pedal is pressed halfway down raising the felts only partially off the strings. As the sustain function on most synths is a simple on/off operation, such use is normally impossible. The S90 ES, however, is able to respond to small changes in the FC-3 foot controllers pedal position due to its half-damper capability. This gives the performer greater control over the muting by the damper, and expressive freedom to create the subtle nuances required by the music. Tone generation derived from the MOTIF ES - Using a powerful new tone generator derived from the MOTIF ES, the Yamaha S90 ES produces voices with stunning clarity and great response that heightens the musical experience for both you and your listeners. To meet the needs of today’s players its 228MB (when converted to 16-bit linear format) of wave memory holds an enormous library of expressive voices and drum kits, many of which come from the MOTIF ES, that cover everything from acoustic pianos and orchestra to cutting-edge hip-hop and electronica. 88 keys for full piano range - An 88-note weighted action keyboard based on Yamaha’s acoustic piano designs offers players a feel that is natural, smooth, and responsive especially on keyboard voices like the acoustic grands and electric grands. For its non-keyboard instruments like basses, drums, and percussion, which require slightly varied playing styles, the action is evenly balanced from top to bottom making these instruments feel and play more responsively. Aftertouch is also included so you can gain more expression from every note.New signal processing effects system - The S90 ES takes great advantage of the processing power inherited from the Yamaha MOTIF ES to produce effects like damper resonance, reverb, and others with stunning clarity.

Just like Yamaha’s flagship digital pianos, the YDP-213 uses its renowned AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation technology and true stereo sampling for a realistic, acoustic piano sound.GHS keyboard provides touch as real as its toneBesides outstanding sound, the YDP-213 offers incredibly natural piano touch. Applying the know-how acquired from over 100 years of crafting fine acoustic pianos, Yamaha has designed a remarkably expressive GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) keyboard. Similar to the widely accepted Graded Hammer Effect action, GHS keys are weighted heavier on lower notes and gradually become lighter as you play up the keyboard. A pianist will notice the difference as soon as they start playing. Beautiful, lightweight, and maintenance-free The classically beautiful wood grain finish, complete with a sliding protective key cover, tastefully matches virtually any decor. And with no need for the inner hardware of acoustic pianos, this digital equivalent is much easier to move. Best of all, because digital audio doesn’t fade or degrade, the YDP-213 is maintenance-free there’s no need for expensive, periodic tunings or other technical upkeep.3 pedals To let you enjoy more expressive performances, the YDP-213 also features damper, soft, and sostenuto pedals. If the acoustic grand piano at your recital has three pedals, shouldn’t the one you’re practicing on have them as as well? A variety of voices color your music For even more performance versatility the YDP-213 offers a choice of 6 voices including electric piano, organ, strings, and harpsichord. Built-in piano music library - The Yamaha YDP-213 comes with a built-in music library of 50 popular piano pieces. These can either be used as practice aids or simply for your listening pleasure.

Choose the best reverb setting for the type of room you’re playing in. Variable touch sensitivity You can even adjust the responsiveness of the keys to the type of musician sitting at the bench.

But when switched to Soft, life can spring from the performances of even the most timid beginner.

Yamaha YDP-S30 Home Digital Piano Brown/Silver
Enjoy the performance of the elegantly slim Yamaha YDP-S30 piano. The cabinet design is equal parts form and function. The YDP-S30 digital piano’s graphite-colored key bed is cradled in dark alder finish…well-suited to both classic and contemporary interiors. And the Soft-Shut key cover also serves as a music rest. Thanks to the GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) keyboard, exceptionally natural key touch virtually replicates that of an actual grand piano. Further, the built-in AWM stereo sampled instrument voices fully reproduce the entire range - from powerful lows to delicate highs.Slim Cabinet Design The cabinet depth of 30cm allows placement anywhere in your room. However, despite the small size, no compromises have been made in playability. Further, the keyboard cover doubles as a music score stand when opened. When the cover is closed, the Yamaha Digital Piano blends in naturally with your room interior. Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) Keyboard Just as on a traditional acoustic piano, the keys of the lower notes have a heavier touch, while the higher ones are more responsive to lighter playing. Advanced Wave Memory (AWM) Stereo Sampling The YDP-S30 piano’s AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) is a sampling system which creates sound close to that of an acoustic piano by using digital technology to record piano sound and applying high-quality digital filter technology to the recorded audio samples. AWM Stereo Sampling creates a more spacious, deeper, and richer sound by using a pair of waveforms (L and R), obtained via a stereo recording process. 64-note Polyphony (max.) Conventional digital pianos quickly run out of notes during fast, dense legato passages: sustained notes are cut off as the instrument “steals” notes to make room for new notes. A maximum of up to 64-notes can be played at once on the Yamaha YDP-S30 piano. Three pedals The built-in soft, sostenuto, and damper pedals complete the piano playing experience. The damper pedal provides an authentic “half damper” effect, giving you nuanced expressive control over the sustained sound. 50 Preset Piano Songs A selection of 50 different piano songs is provided for your listening pleasure. These recordings were chosen for their beauty as well as their functionality. Since many of the songs are classic piano pieces, anyone taking lessons can listen to them for reference.Song Recorder The built-in, 1-track performance memory allows you to record a backing track, and then step into the spotlight and solo over it. Best of all, you can change tempo or voices even after you’ve recorded your performance. There’s also a built-in metronome to help you stay in perfect time.
