Yamaha Clavinova CVP503, Polished Ebony, with Bench - Ex Display

Full Description

The CVP503 combines high performance standards with outstanding flexibility. An 88-key Graded Hammer keyboard with synthetic ivory keytops provides an authentic piano feel, AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling technology gives you a close soundalike of an acoustic as possible, and USB Audio Recorder allows you to incorporate your own compositions.

Pure CF Sampling and Advanced Wave Memory

Yamaha technicians selected a CFIIIS full concert grand with the highest sound quality, and tuned it to the finest possible condition. They then used unique Pure CF Sampling techniques to sample all of its sounds, in order to create the CVP sound. As a result, you enjoy the same natural tonal response as a top-quality piano but in a compact, modern and stylish digital piano. The AWM is a sampling system which creates sound close to that of an acoustic instrument by using digital technology to record the instrument sound and applying high-quality digital filter technology to the recorded audio samples. The waveform of the sound created by playing the key of an acoustic piano differs depending on the playing strength from pianissimo to fortissimo. The expressive quality is so high due to the number of samples used.

Graded Hammer 3 (GH3) Keyboard with Synthetic Ivory Keytops

Just as on an actual grand piano, the lower keys are heavy in touch and the higher keys are light, with all the natural gradations in between. This technology also provides performance functions and expressive power found only on grand pianos, such as having repeated plays of the same note perfectly articulated, even when playing at high speed or with partial key release.

MegaVoice Technology

MegaVoice technology provides incredibly authentic instrument sounds by using sophisticated velocity switching on multiple samples across the keyboard. It contains not only the basic samples of the instrument but also the performance techniques used with it. On a guitar for instance, players will hear open and mute string sounds, dead notes, hammering effects, slide effects, harmonics and a wide range of strum and body noises. In technical terms, MegaVoice duplicates an instrument's behavior. In sonic terms, this gives the keyboard even more stunningly realistic sounds.

Large LCD Display and Guide Lamps

A large LCD display provides attractive graphics and helpful messages for quick access and error-free operation. It provides comprehensive and easy-to-understand control of its operation. The display indicates chords, scores, lyrics, voice and style information, and more. The key guide lamps indicate the notes you should play, when you should play them, and how long you should hold them down. You can also practice at your own pace - since the accompaniment waits for you to play the notes correctly. Here, mute the right- or heft-hand part and try practicing the part using the guide lamps.

Auto Accompaniment and Music Finder

The auto accompaniment features let you produce automatic accompaniment playback simply by playing "chords" with your left hand. This lets you automatically recreate the sound of a full band or orchestra - even if you're playing by yourself. The auto accompaniment sound is made up of the rhythm patterns of the styles. The styles of the instrument cover a wide range of different musical genres including pop, jazz, and many others. Using these accompaniment styles lets everybody, even beginners, give accomplished solo performances. When you want to play in a certain genre of music but don't know which settings to choose, what can you do? Music Finder has the answer. It offers an extensive range of music styles with pre-programmed voices and effects setups. Search for suitable styles. It instantly call up the best-suited voices, tempo and accompaniment style to match the song name or music style you wish to play. Simply call up a song title and start playing.

USB Connectivity and LAN Port

Insert a USB flash memory into the CVP503 to save or load the registered settings and user songs created on the instrument, as well as read data from the connected device. LAN Port is for a wired internet connection the same as a LAN terminal you see on a computer. Stay connected and directly access to the Yamaha's Internet Direct Connection (IDC). IDC lets you connect the instrument directly to the Internet, without a computer, letting you delve into thousands of MIDI songs on our custom website, and download your favorite music for playback on the instrument. You can even record your performance as audio data to a USB storage device. Connect a microphone or guitar to the instrument and enjoy recording a guitar and keyboard performance together, or record your singing along with song playback.
