• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might
discolor the panel or keyboard.
• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not
use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of time at a
high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing
loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a
physician.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
Even when the power switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the instrument for a long
time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha Digital Piano!
We recommend that you read this manual carefully so that you can
fully take advantage of the advanced and convenient functions.
We also recommend that you keep this manual in a safe and
handy place for future reference.
ENGLISH
Main Features
Graded Hammer Effect Keyboard
Thanks to our experience as the world’s leading manufacturer of acoustic pianos, we’ve developed a keyboard with
action that’s virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. 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. The keyboard’s sensitivity can
even be adjusted to match your playing style.
AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling
This digital piano offers a rich and versatile range of sounds, which are created using Yamaha’s proprietary sampling
tone-generation system, “AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling.”
AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) is a sampling system that creates sounds close to those of an acoustic instrument by
digitally recording the sounds of an instrument and applying high-quality digital filtering technology to the recorded
audio samples.
The sound waveform created by an acoustic piano differs depending on the player’s strength of touch, from pianissimo
to fortissimo.
AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling can create extremely dynamic nuances by recording samples at various playing
strengths. The greater the number of samples used, the greater the resulting expressiveness of the instrument.
The piano voice “Grand Piano 1” features a totally new sample recorded from a full-size concert grand piano. Each
note in the sample has been adjusted meticulously so that the digital piano will play only the very best piano sounds.
The piano voices are well-separated sounds featuring a fast attack and a satisfying response.
The “Grand Piano 1” voice features multiple wave samples for different velocities (Dynamic Sampling). That is, differ-
ent samples are used depending on how fast or strong the player strikes the keys. Therefore, this voice expresses
detailed dynamics and sounds much closer to those of a true acoustic piano.
The instrument creates a rich, luxurious sound using “Sustain Sampling,” which is a sample of the soundboard and the
resonance of the strings when the damper pedal is pressed. The instrument also features “Key-off Sampling,” which is a
sample of the very delicate noises that are caused when keys are released.

Practicing a One-Hand Part Using the 50 Preset Songs

The 50 preset songs have separate left- and right-hand parts on individual parts. You can turn the
left- and right-hand parts on or off as required so you can practice the corresponding part (the part
that is turned off) on the keyboard. The right-hand part is played by [RIGHT] and the left-hand part
is played by [LEFT].

Transposition – [TRANSPOSE]
The instrument’s Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or
down in semitone intervals to facilitate playing in difficult key signatures, and to let you easily
match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if you
set the transposition amount to “5,” playing key C produces pitch F. In this way, you can play a
song as though it were in C major, and the instrument will transpose it to the key of F.

Recording Your Performance

The ability to record and play back what you’ve played on the keyboard can be an effective practice
aid. You can, for example, record just the left-hand part, and then practice the right-hand part
while playing back the recorded left-hand part. Or, since you can record up to two parts separately,
you could record the left- and right-hand parts separately, or record both parts of a duet and hear
how they sound when played back. The two-part Song Recorder on the instrument allows the
recording of up to three songs (U01–U03) or up to a maximum of about 100KB (11,000 notes) in
each song on the instrument depending on pedal usage and other factors.
You cannot record the performance to the connected USB storage device directly. The recorded
songs are saved to the instrument automatically. If you want to save data to the device, perform the
ENGLISH
Save operation (page 31) after stopping recording.
TERMINOLOGY NOTE
Recording vs. Saving:
The format of performance data recorded on an MD differs from that of data recorded on the instrument. You can record your performance
An MD records audio signals. The instrument “saves” information regarding note timing, voices, and a (audio data) to an MD recorder or
tempo value, but not audio signals. When you play back recorded songs, the instrument produces other recording device via the
sound based on the saved information. Therefore, recording on the instrument may be more accurately AUX OUT jack (page 47).
called “saving information.” However, this book often uses the word “recording” because it seems to
make more sense.
Recording a performance quickly

This convenient and simple recording method lets you quickly record your performance without

In this way, the performance is automatically recorded to right part.

file. If you want to overwrite the file, press the [+/YES] button. After “n~Y”
appears in the display again to confirm whether you wish to overwrite the file or
not, press the [+/YES] button once more.
CAUTION
While the instrument is accessing data (such as during Save, Load, Delete and For-
mat operations) or is mounting the USB storage device (shortly after the connection:
until the FILE LOAD LED flash stops), do NOT unplug the USB cable, do NOT remove
the media from the device, and do NOT turn the power off to either devices. Doing

Sequence formats that can be played on the instrument

• SMF (Standard MIDI File) Formats 0 and 1
The SMF format is one of the most common and widely compatible sequence for-
mats used for storing sequence data. There are two variations: Format 0 and For-
mat 1. A large number of MIDI devices are compatible with SMF Format 0, and
most commercially available MIDI sequence data is provided in SMF Format 0.
The SMF format for sequence files allows you to exchange song data between dif-
ferent sequencers.
Specify the Song Part (Channel) and Play the Song

Because this instrument is not compatible with GM/XG/DOC/GS/XF Format, when listening to external songs, you can specify
the song parts in this setting.
The “ALL” setting plays back all 16 parts, while “1+2” plays back parts 1 and 2.
Keep in mind that songs recorded on other devices may use a variety of voices not available on this instrument and hence may
sound different than the original songs. In general, this instrument should be used to play back piano songs.
Since piano songs are generally recorded to parts 1 and 2 exclusively, the “1+2” setting is best used with only the piano voice.
Default setting is “ALL.”
