Go beyond simply playing the piano. Instead of performing solo, you'll be backed by an ensemble of instruments. Created with Yamaha's latest technology, the CVP-900 includes an array of Styles—or accompaniments—featuring authentic instrument Voices that perfectly match the key and timing of your performance.

Equipped with 525 Styles that provide automatic accompaniment for your performance in a broad range of categories including pop, rock, country, jazz, soul, and latin. Enjoy playing by yourself with a backing band, or create arrangements in a variety of genres.

From breathy saxophones to ringing guitars and warm, resonant strings, the CVP Series features an impressive collection of natural instrument Voices. Thanks to acclaimed Super Articulation technology, the distinctive characteristics of each instrument are reproduced in incredible detail as you play.

Featuring the latest GrandTouch™ Keyboards with a broad dynamic range of touch and response on the level of a grand piano. Excellent consistency and nuanced expression give the pianist the utmost control over touch.

Yamaha’s latest keyboard action features a broad dynamic range and faithful response to every nuance of touch that puts a wide expanse of tone—from delicate to bold—at the pianist’s fingertips. Highly absorbent synthetic-ivory white keys and synthetic-ebony black keys prevent slipping even during extended play and feel just like those of a grand piano.

GrandTouch™ Pedals offer the unique friction felt when using a grand piano pedal, heavy when pressed and light on the return. They also feature a mechanism with the fulcrum in a similar position to that on a grand piano.

Every single key on a grand piano keyboard is weighted differently. The 88-key Linear Graded Hammers of the Clavinova faithfully duplicate this graded touch with differing weights and key return on each one of its keys.

The interaction and interplay of the hammers, dampers, and strings inside a grand piano respond to the subtlest nuances of the pianist’s touch. Grand Expression Modeling translates the widely varied input from the pianist’s fingers into the same limitless tonal variation of a grand piano.

Clavinova grand piano sounds are recorded from several world-renowned concert grand pianos, including the CFX and the Imperial. Yamaha faithfully reproduces the idiosyncrasies of these concert grand pianos by carefully recording the entire tonal range of each of the 88 keys.

Virtual Resonance Modeling calculates the various states of the strings for each of the 88 notes on the keyboard, along with the timing and depth of damper pedals pressed. This technology allows for vivid, bright, richly-varied expression.

Binaural sampling uses special microphones placed in the same positions as the pianist’s ears to capture piano sounds the way that they sound in reality. On CVP-900 Series pianos, binaural sampling was used for the Bösendorfer Imperial as well as the Yamaha CFX.

Individual speakers for the mid and treble ranges produce a clear sound with depth.

Featuring 413 popular songs and classical pieces known around the world, CVP Series instruments even display the score while you perform. Guide lamps at the top of the keys show you which keys to play, making these instruments ideal for practice.

In addition to allowing you to choose from a range of pianos, including both acoustic and electric instruments, the touch panel display lets you access different performance spaces such as halls and cathedrals, each with their own distinctive reverberation.

Just connect a microphone to the CVP to enjoy singing along as you play. The CVP offers harmonies and choruses for your voice, and allows you to select the preset song and cancel it out.

Exclusive to customers in the United States, USA Edition software for Clavinova CVP Series instruments adds even more content, such as Style Guides, customized Playlist databases, and much more.

Smart Pianist is a free application for use with Yamaha digital pianos that can analyze any commercially available songs you own. On the CVP Series, it features an “Audio To Score” function that creates piano accompaniment scores automatically.

Use the Rec'n'Share app to connect your instrument to a smart device, and then create and share audio and video recordings of you playing along with your favorite songs.

You can play music through the audio system on the CVP-900 Series by using a Bluetooth-enabled smart device. You can stream audio data such as mp3 files.

The recording function featured in Clavinova digital pianos allows you to record your performances with a single touch. Additionally, you can record up to 16 tracks for simultaneous playback, so different hands can be recorded separately or overdub parts with different voices.
