Yamaha CVP-505 Polished Mahogany has a beautifully finished new horizontal design which makes an elegant addition to any home.  The CVP-505 features 88-key GH3 keyboard with synthetic ivory keytops, AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling voices, and USB Audio Recorder. 

The CVP505 PM has superb tonal response and faithfulness to the original sound created from Pure CF Sampling. The GH3 keyboard gives you the same kind of touch, weight and feel of a real grand piano. Yamaha CVP505 is packed with hundreds of dynamic voices, including the ultra-realistic, expressive Super Articulation Voices and Mega Voices, as well as accompaniment styles. It also has a USB Audio Recorder for recording your own performances, complete with singing into a microphone connected to the Clavinova or even an ensemble with a guitar plugged in. Enjoy in a variety of ways!

Yamaha CVP 505 PM Features:

• Graded Hammer 3 (GH3) keyboard with Synthetic Ivory Keytops - Just as on an actual grand piano, the lower keys are heavy in touch and the higher keys are light, with all the natural gradations in between. This technology also provides performance functions and expressive power found only on grand pianos, such as having repeated plays of the same note perfectly articulated, even when playing at high speed or with partial key release.  
• New Pure CF Sampling - Enjoy the same natural tonal response as a top-quality piano.  
• 4-level Advanced Wave Memory (AWM) Dynamic Stereo Sampling - Is a sampling system which creates sound close to that of an acoustic instrument by using digital technology to record the instrument sound and applying high-quality digital filter technology to the recorded audio samples.
• Super Articulation and MegaVoice technology - Super Articulation voices feature the unique performance characteristics of each instrument, the expressive finger-slides on the guitar, or the breathy, legato phrasing of a saxophone. Never before have such string, wind and brass instruments, played live with a keyboard, sounded so convincing or so real! MegaVoice features multiple samples across the keyboard with sophisticated velocity switching for incredibly authentic instrument sounds. It contains not only the basic samples of the instrument but also the performance techniques used with it therefore duplicates an instrument's behavior. 
• USB Audio Recorder with WAV & MP3 playback - Record your performance as audio data to a USB storage device. Connect a microphone or guitar to the instrument and enjoy recording a guitar and keyboard performance together, or record your singing along with song playback.
