Yamaha C3X (Silent Piano)

• SILENT Piano™ Technology: At the core of the Yamaha C3X SH3 Silent Piano is the innovative SILENT Piano™ technology, which enables the pianist to switch from acoustic to digital play seamlessly. This feature is essential for practicing in silence without disturbing others, as the hammers stop just before hitting the strings, while key movement data is captured and sampled sounds are heard through headphones.
• Articulation Sensor System: With Yamaha's newly developed non-contact Articulation Sensor System, the piano captures the nuanced movements of a pianist’s fingers with high precision, delivering a digital replication of the hammer strikes for authentic sound reproduction. This feature enhances the expressive capabilities of the piano in SILENT Mode, ensuring every nuance of the performance is captured.
• Grand Expression Modeling: This advanced feature, Grand Expression Modeling, simulates the intricate tonal variations and hammer responses to a player’s touch, allowing for real-time audio adjustments and the ability to explore subtle, expressive nuances even when using headphones.
• Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM): The VRM technology meticulously replicates the sympathetic resonance of a grand piano, adding depth and richness to the digital tone when the piano is used in SILENT Mode. It contributes to a more authentic acoustic experience by incorporating the natural resonance of strings and soundboard into the digital sound.
• Binaural Sampling: For an immersive headphone experience, the Yamaha C3X SH3 includes binaural sampling from Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial grand pianos. This method captures sound from the perspective of the player's ears, creating a three-dimensional sound that closely mirrors playing an acoustic grand piano.
• Voices of Yamaha and Bösendorfer Grands: Featuring meticulously sampled sounds from acclaimed concert grand pianos, the Yamaha C3X SH3 delivers the opulent tones of the Yamaha CFX and the Bösendorfer Imperial. This feature provides pianists with a variety of world-class piano sounds for various musical genres and preferences.
• Quick Escape System: The Quick Escape System ensures that the action of the piano responds with the same feel, whether the piano is in acoustic or SILENT Mode. This is crucial for maintaining the authentic feel of the grand piano action for both practice and performance.
• Rhythm Accompaniments: With 20 built-in rhythm patterns, the Yamaha C3X SH3 offers drum and bass accompaniments to add variety and enrichment to solo piano practice or performance, making practice sessions more engaging and enjoyable.
• Recording Functions: Offering both built-in recording and USB flash drive recording functions, the Yamaha C3X SH3 allows pianists to capture and review their performances or save and share their music in high-quality WAV format, convenient for practice and composition.
• Bluetooth® MIDI Connectivity: The integration of Bluetooth® MIDI enables wireless connection to smart devices, allowing the use of the Smart Pianist app for intuitive control of the piano's features and settings, providing a modern and user-friendly experience.
