Welcome to Clavinova
Real Grand Expression (RGE) Sound Engine
This lets you enjoy the playing response and expressive capability of
a concert grand piano. In addition to providing smooth tonal
changes that respond to your playing touch, it also features a new
Smooth Release function which can clearly enunciate staccato
notes and produce the sound of lingering resonance when gently
lifting your fingers from the keys. These effects capture the true
essence of an acoustic grand piano to help you create and perform
with luscious piano-like expression.
Authentic Acoustic Piano-like Touch
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 instrument provide the 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.
Piano Room
If you want to simply play the Clavinova as a piano, you can use the Piano Room function to conveniently call up
relevant piano settings with a single button press.
