Hammer Stage Pianos

Thirty years of technology and experience
distilled into two brilliant new instruments. |
|
In 1976, Yamaha released the first of the CP series stage
pianos. These 'electric grands' became instant classics with
their authentic sound and live performance convenience.
Thirty years later, Yamaha celebrates those milestone
keyboards by unveiling the latest and greatest in the CP
series: the new CP300 and CP33. Drawing on our rich
tradition and experience, these instruments give the live
performer all the sound and expressiveness of a superbly
mic'd grand piano with the portability and versatility of a
modern digital instrument.

Made to
be played
Like all fine instruments, the CP series
keyboards simply beg to be played. Sit down
with one, and the instrument becomes an
extension of your hands and your musical
imagination. The authentic piano voices and
rich expressiveness come alive at your
touch, and the sound is big enough to blast
through a full band onstage – yet nuanced
enough to work magic in an intimate club.
|
Expressive Power
Yamaha's extensive experience in crafting
fine acoustic pianos helps us in creating
the ultimate digital pianos. Our advanced
Graded Hammer Effect (GHE) action gives all
keys an authentic resistance that increases
from the top register to the lower – just as
on an actual acoustic piano. Which means
that you can naturally pound out thunderous
low notes with your left hand and let the
fingers on your right dance and fly with the
high notes. This keyboard practically plays
itself, working with you – not against you –
and brings out the very best in your
performance

Sound
choice
Crafting the authentic sound of the CP
series involved extraordinary attention to
detail. We used meticulously recorded stereo
samples of top-quality instruments, taken at
various playing strengths, and included
subtle elements such as String Resonance
(harmonic overtones), Stereo Sustain (open
strings while pedaling), and even Key-Off
Samples (recordings of felt dampers coming
to rest on vibrating piano strings) –
providing the most authentic sounding and
finely nuanced acoustic piano voices
possible. There's also a wide variety of
other dynamic sounds, including vintage
electric piano, organ, guitar, strings, and
much more.

Stay in
control
As master keyboard controllers, the CP33
stage piano lets you take command of your
gear. Play and control external synthesizers
and tone generators (such as the MOTIF-RACK
ES) during your performance. Assign
different internal voices to different
sections of the keyboard or even create
complex, multi-textured layers of sound.
There are two instrument Zones on the CP33,
with dedicated Zone sliders on the panel
that let you easily tweak the level of each
instrument as you play. You can also freely
reassign the sliders and wheels to control
other sonic characteristics of the connected
gear as desired, such as sound attack,
decay, brightness and filter cutoff.

Take
center stage
Step out front and make your presence known.
The CP33 has a special Mono Piano sound,
complete with a compression effect, designed
specifically for live performance. It has
the punch and power to stand out, even in
full band situations.

|
Lock it
up
Onstage, you need to make sure everything
goes smoothly. Sometimes an errant hand
(yours or someone else's) can touch the
panel controls and change your special
settings, giving you a rude surprise in the
middle of your performance. The Panel Lock
button lets you prevent that, keeping all
settings fixed and secure, until you're
ready to change them yourself.
|
|
Pro-quality outputs
The CP300 features professional quality
balanced XLR output connectors. These give
you the cleanest, clearest noise-free signal
– both for serious recording in the studio,
and playing onstage where long unbalanced
cables may compromise your sound.
Hear
yourself
A built-in stereo speaker system on the
CP300 lets you hear the sound of the
keyboard without the need for setting up a
separate monitor. Just bring the CP300
onstage and you're ready to perform! A
convenient Speaker On/Off panel button lets
you disable it and leave the monitoring
levels to your soundman.

Pedal to
the Metal
The CP series keyboards give you the same
pedal control as an actual grand piano. The
CP33 has Sustain Pedal and AUX jacks (which
can be configured as Soft or Sostenuto, or
even Expression). On certain piano sounds,
Sustain can be partially applied –
reproducing the "half-damper" effect of
slightly muting the resonating strings on a
real piano.
