Yamaha Cfx And Bösendorfer Imperial Voices
Clavinova grand piano sounds are recorded from several world-renowned concert grand pianos. One is the CFX, Yamaha’s top-flight concert grand piano. Pianists in concert halls around the world celebrate the impressive, dazzling and richly expressive sound of the CFX. Also sampled is the Bösendorfer Imperial, the flagship concert grand from the time-honoured Viennese manufacturer. The Imperial is famous for its abundance of tonal colour and natural, warm feeling. Yamaha faithfully reproduces the unique characters of these concert grand pianos by carefully recording the entire tonal range of each of the 88 keys, making minute adjustments to capture the most harmonious tones each piano has to offer.

Sensitivity
Grand Expression Modeling is a groundbreaking new technology that enables the limitless tonal variation typical of a grand piano in response to the pianist’s technique. The ability to vary the intensity and speed of touch to produce different tones adds a whole new dimension to the joy of musical expression

Sound Quality
Virtual Resonance Modeling performs realtime modeling of the sympathetic resonance created by the behavior of the strings and body of the instrument — the foundation of the beautiful sound of a genuine grand piano. And the latest acoustic design technology delivers lifelike concert grand piano tone and resonance to your home for you to enjoy.
In a grand piano, sound resonates throughout the body of the instrument, producing a rich reverberation that envelops the listener in sound. This phenomena is reproduced perfectly in the Clavinova through Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM). It calculates the various states of the strings for each of the 88 notes on the keyboard, from one instant to the next, and timing and depth of damper pedals pressed. This technology allows for vivid, bright, richly-varied expression that reflects the limitless number of factors inherent in piano performance.

Grand Acoustic Imaging
Yamaha's latest acoustic design and measurement technologies have been used to reproduce the sound field and imaging of a grand piano within the compact form of a digital instrument. The design focuses on the unique way that a grand piano radiates sound into the surrounding space, recreating the positional relationships heard in the sound of a grand piano with unerring accuracy. The CVP Series is designed to ensure that the piano sound stands out well when played as a solo instrument or when played together with accompanying Styles.The monitor speakers to the left and right of the control panel deliver a powerful sound that help the player to feel like they are playing with a band.

3-Way Speaker
This powerful 3-way system features mid and treble units, as well as bass speakers, which are available only on the CVP-909 and all units are optimally balanced and placed accordingly in the body to simulate the sound image of a grand piano.

Spruce Cone Speaker
Drawing from Yamaha's experience in building both acoustic pianos and high-end speakers, the CVP-909 speaker cones use pulp from the same spruce wood used to make acoustic piano sound boards. The result is a more natural, piano-like attack to the sound that is more piano-like when you play the keys.

Great Piano Sound, Even When Using Headphones
Binaural is a method of sampling in which special 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 are heard in reality.This method creates the ambience and full, natural resonance of acoustic pianos, with Clavinova players feeling as though they are sitting at a grand piano, even when they play with headphones. The experience is so engaging that it’s easy to forget that headphones are being worn, even for long performances. In CVP-900 Series pianos, binaural sampling is used for the Bösendorfer Imperial and Yamaha CFX. Yamaha achieves higher-definition binaural sound with a specially developed mannequin head and model ears used for the recording
