BEAUTIFUL, POWERFUL SOUND SAMPLED FROM THE ACCLAIMED YAMAHA CFX CONCERT GRAND PIANO
The YDP-S35 stands out as a slim-sized, 88-key model of the ARIUS digital piano, boasting a weighted keyboard. With Yamaha’s flagship CFX concert grand piano sound integrated as a built-in Voice, players can expect to immerse themselves in a deeply expressive playing experience, thanks to the GHS keyboard. Additionally, the instrument includes newly equipped ear-friendly functions and offers compatibility with Yamaha’s Smart Pianist app.
Featuring an 88-key piano action, the GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) keyboard faithfully reproduces the touch of an acoustic piano. It achieves this by providing a naturally heavy feel in the lower keys, gradually transitioning to a lighter touch in the upper octaves. This design ensures that the GHS keyboard delivers a grand piano-style response and feel, facilitating rapid note repetition and authentic expressive control for the player. Moreover, the instrument boasts a half-damper feature, meticulously replicating the damper action found in grand pianos, thus offering a rich and varied expressive range.
HARMONIC RESONANCE LIKE THAT OF A GRAND PIANO – VIRTUAL RESONANCE MODELING LITE (VRM LITE)
One of the allures inherent to the grand piano is the sympathetic resonance it produces, stemming from the vibration of the entire instrument. Remarkably, the YDP-S35 meticulously replicates this rich sympathetic resonance using an innovative technology known as Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite (VRM Lite).
Through VRM Lite, the instrument achieves a remarkably varied sound profile by simulating the complex sympathetic tones generated when the vibrations of the strings propagate to the soundboard and other strings. This simulation corresponds precisely to the timing and intensity of key playing and pedaling, resulting in a dynamically rich and immersive sound experience.
RICH VARIETY OF BUILT-IN SONGS, AND INTUITIVE OPERATION WITH SMART PIANIST APP
Naturally, the YDP-S35 boasts an authentic grand piano sound. However, it goes beyond this by offering a diverse array of built-in instrument sounds, totaling 10 Voices. These include electric piano, organ, vibraphone, and strings, among others.
Moreover, the YDP-S35 impresses with its extensive library of 353 built-in songs. Among these are 50 renowned classical pieces, alongside 303 comprehensive practice exercises sourced from illustrious methods like Beyer, Burgmuller, Czerny, and Hanon.
Furthermore, the instrument seamlessly integrates with Yamaha’s free Smart Pianist app. By downloading the app onto your smart device and connecting it to the instrument, you unlock a host of functionalities.
With the Smart Pianist app, you can effortlessly navigate through the various Voice options of the instrument and access the scores of its built-in songs. Additionally, the app provides a comprehensive Piano Room function, enabling users to fine-tune the tonal quality and resonance settings of the piano sound to their preferences.
