The CLP700 series is Yamaha’s latest and most authentic replication of the feel and sound of a real grand piano. Below are the main features found in the CLP745 that create this authentic experience, and some of the ways this model differs from the model preceding it in the range.
WHAT'S DIFFERENT?
What makes this piano different from the model below it in the range?
Though they are aesthetically very similar, moving to the CLP745 from the CLP735 you will find that the Grand Touch-S action is further improved upon with the addition of wooden keys, making for a far more natural feeling in the piano action. There is also an improved speaker system giving richer and clearer sound quality, and the addition of wirless midi and bluetooth connectivity makes connection to the Smart Pianist app much cleaner, while also opening up more possibilities in practice and performance.
FEEL
Grand Touch-S with Wooden Keys
Yamaha's latest digital piano actions designed to bring the authentic weight of the grand piano action into the entry level Clavinova, gifting the performer access to a wide dynamic range and accurate response to the nuances of their playing.
Even closer emulation comes from the addition of the escapement mechanism, and by utilising the same wooden keys and synthetic ebony and ivory keytops as found in Yamaha's premium grand pianos.
SOUND
Yamaha CFX and Bosendorfer Imperial Sample Sounds
Yamaha's latest samples of two of the best grand pianos in the world, offering pianists the option to perform with the rich, dazzling sound of the Yamaha CFX, or the warm and classic European sound of the Bosendorfer Imperial.
Binaural Sampling
These impressive sample sounds are experienced in a truly immersive fashion thanks to the ingenious use of binaural sampling - a method of sampling in which microphones are placed on a mannequin’s head in the same positions as the pianist’s ears to capture piano sounds the way that they sound in reality.
Virtual Resonance Modelling
Technology that raises the level of authenticity in digital piano sound to another level, bringing the natural resonance of the entire piano into the sound, including sympathetic resonance of the strings, and the resonance of the duplex scaling, soundboard, and rims of the piano.
Grand Expression Modelling
Yamaha’s latest technological addition to the CLP range, bringing the performer even closer to the levels of expression only found in a grand piano, building upon the already incredibly responsive action to ensure that even the subtlest of nuances found in each pianist’s technique are reproduced in the sound of the piano.
