Yamaha YDP-145 Arius Digital Piano Black

DIGITAL PIANO 88 WEIGHTED KEYS BLACK

The elegant sound and expressive ease of playing remain true to the foundations of a real piano. It practically plays itself, releasing the sound and music within you. Start your day with music and a big smile on your face: ARIUS pianos make you want to play more and more. The YDP-145 features a piano sound sampled from Yamaha's flagship CFX concert grand piano, a renowned piano that offers shimmering highs and powerful, resonant lows combined in a superbly expressive sound.

With the action of an 88-key piano, the GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) keyboard emulates the touch of an acoustic piano, giving a naturally heavy feel on the lower keys and a lighter touch on the upper octaves. It provides the response and feel of a grand piano, allowing for rapid note repetition and authentic expressive control. In addition, there is a half-pedal function that authentically replicates the action of the dampers on a grand piano, providing rich expressive variation.

One of the attractions of a grand piano is the sympathetic resonance created by the vibration of the entire instrument. The YDP-145 elaborately reproduces this rich resonance through a revolutionary technology called Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite (VRM Lite). VRM Lite creates a richly varied sound by simulating the complex sympathetic sounds created when string vibrations are propagated to the soundboard and other strings, corresponding to the timing and intensity with which the keys and pedals are played.

The YDP-145 uses a newly developed cabinet design that diffuses sound from inside the piano at the back. This allows you to experience the natural sound dispersion and three-dimensional resonance similar to that of an acoustic piano.

Of course, the YDP-145 also features other built-in instrument sounds, totaling 10 voices, including electric piano, organ, vibraphone, and strings. The YDP-145 also has 353 built-in songs, including 50 famous classical pieces and 303 practical exercises from famous methods such as Beyer, Burgmüller, Czerny, and Hanon. The instrument is also compatible with Yamaha's free Smart Pianist app: simply download the app to your smart device and connect it to the instrument.

With the Smart Pianist app, you can easily activate the instrument's various Voice functions and use it to retrieve sheet music for built-in songs. It also has a comprehensive Piano Room function for changing the tonal quality and resonance of a piano's sound.

The YDP-145 uses new technology that optimally corrects the sound balance according to the set volume, giving you an exceptionally natural sound that is easy to listen to and gentle on the ears, even when playing for a long time. It also has the Stereophonic Optimizer effect that allows you to enjoy the natural, spatial sound you experience sitting in front of a grand piano, even when wearing headphones.

Although primarily based on straight lines, it has an elegant design with the graceful curves of a grand piano.
