Over a century of piano building experience culminates in a truly modern
instrument.
Experience a purely digital piano with the heart of a true grand. You'll feel the
difference from the very first notes you play. Realistic touch and response, paired with the
unmistakeable tone of the finest concert grand pianos ever made, the Clavinova delivers
expressive capabilities and a dynamic range that redefines the standard for digital pianos
today.
Your dream piano studio awaits.
The enhanced Piano Room now includes the world-class Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial grand
pianos, plus vintage electric pianos. In Session Mode, you can invite three virtual musicians
into the room to "jam" with you as you practice and perform in one of 40 different
musical styles. These session musicians will automatically follow your harmonies and your
volume expression using the new Dynamics Control feature. You can selectively activate and
deactivate each one depending on your musical needs at the time. Within this special room, you
can even record your sessions with the touch of a single button.
Variety is the spice of life.
The CVP-701 features hundreds of high-quality instrument Voices including "Natural!",
"Sweet!" and "Cool!" Voices sampled specially to compliment the instrument
types. Yamaha's Super Articulation Voices (SA) add genuine performance attributes of the
real musical instruments as though they were being naturally performed by a virtuoso of that
instrument instead of from the keys of a piano keyboard.
When you want to play more than just piano.
One of the defining features of a CVP Clavinova is the multitude of different Styles that can
be controlled in real-time by playing chords on the keyboard. Accompaniment Styles introduce
ensembles of virtual musicians to your performances in a variety of musical genres. From small
jazz ensembles to full orchestras, you control what chords or harmony they play by what YOU
play, plus you control the dynamic of the ensemble. Developed by professional session musicians
from around the world, Styles add authentic, studio-quality backing players to your
performances - even when you play by yourself. You can use Styles to add embellishing Intros,
Endings & Fill-Ins and even arrange songs in real-time.
Now anyone can play a hit song, one light at a time.
CVP Clavinovas are very patient: if you don't play the right notes, they wait until you do!
This is made possible with the CVP's unique Guide feature. As the easiest way to play a
song, the Follow Lights library teaches you popular melodies in a way only possible on a CVP
Clavinova. Just follow the lights one note at a time, and fully-arranged orchestrations and
arpeggios embellish your playing. Here, you don't play along with a recording, the
recording literally plays along with YOU. Visit www.yamahamusicsoft.com/followlights to browse
the entire library today.
Get connected and start singing.
You can connect a microphone to enjoy singing along with your keyboard performance or using
Karaoke song files from YamahaMusicSoft.com. All input jacks are conveniently located at the
front of the instrument, under the keybed for easy access. Alternatively, you can connect a
portable music device such as an MP3 player or smart phone to enjoy listening through the
Clavinova's high-definition speaker system.
* Vocal Harmony is only available on the CVP709GP/709/705.
