Features
The Yamaha Clavinova CLP-990 digital piano offers unmatched sonic realism and natural grand-piano type playabil-
ity as well as Yamaha’s original “
AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling ” tone generation technology for rich, musical
voices, and a special “ NL Keyboard (Natural Keyboard) ” that uses wooden keys with a new action mechanism for
improved continuous key response. The CLP-990 GrandPiano1 voice features totally new samples painstakingly
recorded from each key of a full concert grand piano. The CLP-990 GrandPiano1 voice features five velocity-
switched samples (
Dynamic Sampling ), a “ Soundboard Reverb ” (page 33) effect that accurately simulates the reso-
nance of a piano soundboard, “ String Resonance ” (page 88) that recreates resonance of piano strings, special “ Sus-
tain Sampling ” (page 88)that samples the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings
when the damper pedal is pressed, and “ Key-off Samples ” that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are
released. The CLP-990 comes much closer to the sound of a true acoustic piano.
