real acoustic grand piano–adding sophistication and musical expressiveness to your living space.
NW (Natural Wood) keyboard
The special Natural Wood keyboard of the instrument uses real-wood white keys, to reproduce as
closely as possible the experience of playing an actual acoustic grand piano. The authentic touch and
feel of the keys goes far beyond existing electronic 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.
Moving Key (F11)
The F11 features an impressive moving keyboard—with the Moving Key function. Whatever songs you
play back on the instrument, including the included 50 piano preset songs (Classic & Jazz), songs saved
to USB flash memory, or songs from the Internet using the streaming service, you can enjoy the perfor-
mance visually as well as aurally. This makes the F11 a wonderful instrument to have at home, as well
as an eye-catching, ear-catching instrument for a restaurant, store or any public space.
AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling
The F11/F01 offers unmatched sonic realism as well as Yamaha’s original AWM Dynamic Stereo Sam-
pling tone-generation technology for rich, authentic voices. The G. Piano 1 and 2 voices are completely
constructed from samples painstakingly recorded from a full concert grand piano. The G. Piano 1 voice
features three velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sampling), special “Sustain Sampling” that samples
the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings when the damper pedal is
pressed, and “Keyoff Samples” that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are released. These
sophisticated features and advanced technologies ensure that the instrument sounds and plays virtually
the same as an actual acoustic piano.
Internet Direct Connection (IDC) (F11)
Yamaha provides a special streaming service on its website that enables you to automatically play back
a wide variety of songs (song data) in various musical genres as background music directly on your
instrument.
