The CP300
features Yamaha's flagship AVM technology which starts by sampling one
of their celebrated acoustic grand pianos. Obsessive attention is paid
to the recreation of subtle details like key-off noises, harmonic
string resonance, and even half-damper sounds for the most realistic
playing experience possible. In addition to the premium piano sounds,
the Yamaha CP300
comes with a selection of electric
piano, organ, and orchestral sounds that just as useable
and expressive. Enhancing the playing experience is Yamaha's Graded Hammer Effect
keyboard, a playing surface that recreates the give and resistance of a
real, mechanical instrument. Just like a real piano's keys, those on
the CP300 feel heavier on the bass end and lighter on the treble side,
with a subtle, graded difference from one end to the other. The keys
are also proportionally the same as a real piano's, with the waterfall
profile that will feel familiar under any experienced pianist's
fingers. Not only do the keys on the CP300 lend themselves to amazing
performances of the on-board sounds, but because the keyboard is
MIDI-compatible, those same amazing keys can be used to control all
your external sound modules, virtual synthesizers and even other
keyboards. You'll never want to touch another key-bed again, and you'll
never have to.
