Instrument Sounds
Unmistakably grand, the new CVP400 Series
Clavinova puts the luscious, expressive sound of a real acoustic grand
piano at your fingertips. The amazingly authentic piano sounds at the
heart of this instrument were sampled from a full concert grand piano
smoothly blended for the most natural dynamic changes. Special care was
also taken to accurately reproduce the complex sound nuances when the
dampers fall back onto the strings strings (Key Off), the rich sound when
the damper pedal is pressed (Sustain), and even the special phenomenon
when the hammer hitting the strings of one key causes the strings of other
keys to vibrate (String Resonance).
Whatever type of music you play, the Clavinova
series ensures you'll always have the right Instrument Sound to perform
with. Hundreds upon hundreds of authentic, powerful and dynamic Instrument
Sounds (also known as Voices) are built into the instrument that cover
virtually every instrument category. Additional Mega Voices
incorporate unique performance characteristics of
each instrument for maximum realism.
Mega Voices
The Mega Instrument Sounds (also known as
Voices) feature various playing
techniques and performance sounds that are designed specifically to
enhance the playback of your recorded Songs and the built-in accompaniment
Styles. These include, for example, the sounds of finger slides and fret
noise on Guitar Voices, making your music sound astonishingly realistic
and expressive. Special MEGAEnhancer software is available for
automatically converting conventional MIDI song data to most effectively
take advantage of the Mega Voice capabilities.
Organ Flutes
Voices
These special Instrument Sounds give you that vintage
organ sound heard in Gospel, Blues, Jazz and Rock music. Onscreen virtual
tone bars let you adjust the individual footages and percussive sound,
just as on an actual organ, while a realistic rotary speaker effect gives
you the richly textured, animated effect of a rotating speaker.
Resonant, Richly
Textured Piano Sound
