Clavinova with GH3 & Dynamic Grand in Rosewood

The Yamaha Clavinova CLP-240 utilizes three-level Dynamic Stereo Sampling in its AWM piano voices, for a remarkably realistic, richly expressive piano sound. The two-way built-in speaker system delivers powerful, dynamic sound throughout the entire sonic range. The instrument also has a sophisticated Dynamic Damper effect that recreates the subtle resonances heard when using the damper pedal on an actual grand piano, and uses Stereo Sustain and Key-Off samples to deliver a degree of realism and expression rarely found in an electronic keyboard. The two USB terminals, one for connecting to a computer, the other for saving data to a USB storage device, let you take full advantage of the powerful possibilities in computer music.

Yamaha Clavinova CLP-240 Features:

• 3-level Dynamic Stereo Sampling AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation with Stereo Sustain Samples and Key-Off Samples
• Graded Hammer 3 (GH3) keyboard for true grand piano feel
• 64-note Polyphony (Max.)
• Dynamic Damper Effect (DDE)
• USB TO DEVICE and TO HOST

Dynamic Damper Effect
DDE recreates the subtle resonances that occur when you press the damper pedal down on a grand piano. Instead of using the microphone, it sends a discrete set of samples out the rear speakers to create a clear sense of depth.

AWM Tone Generation and New Piano Samples
Like previous models, these new Yamaha Clavinovas boast AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation for the ultimate in instrument realism. To assure a warmer, more natural, sound, they also feature new DSS (Dynamic Stereo Sampling) piano samples. Taken at different levels from loud to soft, these new samples provide subtle differences in volume and timbre depending on how you play the keys, resulting in the ultimate in responsiveness. In addition, this keyboard offers Stereo Sustain and Key-Off samples. Stereo Sustain samples recreate the resonances of the strings and soundboard when the damper pedal is pressed that contribute to the unique sound of a grand piano. Key-Off samples provide the delicate sound keys make when they are released.

Selection of Voices
Choose from a large selection of other stereo-sampled musical instrument sounds to perform with. These sounds provide added realism for more music playing enjoyment.

Choice of Finishes
Each Yamaha Clavinova has an attractive, elegant finish to complement the room you place it in.

USB Connectivity
The Yamaha CLP-240 is one of the first Clavinovas to feature both USB TO HOST and TO DEVICE terminals, conveniently located on the front panel for easy access. This means that you can connect to a computer (TO HOST), and take advantage of the vast possibilities in computer music, and hook up to your favorite USB storage device (TO DEVICE) for storing your valuable song data, all at the same time.

Newly Designed Built-in Speaker Systems
This Clavinova CLP features a new two-way system for a richer, better-defined midrange, which is critical in the reproduction of the acoustic grand piano sound.
