Yamaha PS500 (Digital Piano)

• Yamaha CFX & Bösendorfer Imperial Piano Samples: The inclusion of sound samples from two of the most prestigious concert grand pianos, the Yamaha CFX and the Bösendorfer Imperial, provides players with exceptionally realistic and expressive piano sounds, allowing for a genuine grand piano experience.
• Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM): This sophisticated technology enhances the resonance of the digital piano, simulating the complex interplay of sounds and reverberations produced by the strings, soundboard, and case of an acoustic piano, thus delivering a rich and varied piano tone.
• Binaural Sampling: By using specialized microphones positioned similarly to a pianist's ears, this feature creates a highly immersive and natural headphone listening experience, making the player feel as if they are sitting in front of an actual grand piano.
• Authentic Piano Touch, 88-note Weighted GHS Keyboard: Emulating the feel of an acoustic piano, the Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) keyboard provides a heavier touch in the lower range and a lighter touch in the higher range, encouraging proper finger technique and strength.
• Voices: The P-S500 boasts 660 high-quality Voices, including realistic pianos, electronic sounds, and orchestral instruments, enhanced by Super Articulation technology that vividly recreates the unique characteristics of each instrument.
• Styles: Offering a library of backing patterns and accompaniments across various genres, the piano allows musicians to perform solo while enjoying the full sound of a band or orchestra.
• Audio and MIDI recording: Featuring dual recording options, players can record audio directly for playback on smart devices, or utilize MIDI recording to craft and arrange multi-instrumental pieces with up to 16 tracks.
• Microphone Connection and Vocal Harmony: With the ability to connect a microphone and apply studio-quality effects, singers can add harmonies to their voice, enhance solo performances, and even sing with or without the original vocal tracks of their favorite songs.
• Wireless Connection with Smart Pianist: The P-S500 can be wirelessly connected to a smart device through the optional UD-WL01 Wi-Fi USB adaptor, offering convenient control and additional features via the Smart Pianist app.
• Stream Lights: Innovative red and blue lights indicate which keys to play and when, making it easier for beginners to learn songs without needing to read sheet music, thus promoting a fun and interactive learning experience.
