Features

The Yamaha Clavinova CLP-970A digital piano offers unmatched sonic realism and natural grand-piano type play-
ability as well as Yamaha’s original “AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling” tone generation technology for rich, musical
voices, and a special “Graded Hammer” keyboard that provides graded key weight and response throughout the key-
board range. The CLP-970A GrandPiano1 voice features totally new samples painstakingly recorded from a full con-
cert grand piano. The CLP-970A GrandPiano1 voice features five velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sampling), a
Soundboard Reverb (page 31) effect that accurately simulates the resonance of a piano soundboard, “String Reso-
nance
” (page 82) that recreates resonance of piano strings, special “Sustain Sampling” (page 82)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-970A comes much closer to
the sound of a true acoustic piano.
