The Yamaha Clavinova CLP-240/230 digital piano provides natural, expressive grand piano sound and playability, and
features Yamaha’s original “AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling (CLP-240)/AWM Stereo Sampling (CLP-230)” tone-genera-
tion technology for rich, musical voices.
The CLP-240/230 Grand Piano 1 and 2 voices feature samples painstakingly recorded from a full concert grand piano.
The CLP-240 Grand Piano 1 voice features three velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sampling), special “Sustain Sam-
pling” (page 51) that samples the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings when the
damper pedal is pressed, and “Keyoff Samples” that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are released.
The CLP-240/230 also utilizes a “GH3 (Graded Hammer 3)” Keyboard that varies the key weight according to the key
range. Moreover, this specially crafted keyboard lets you use techniques only possible on grand pianos, such as playing the
same note successively and having the sounds blend smoothly even without use of the damper pedal, or playing the same
key quickly and having perfect articulation without the sound cutting off unnaturally. With these features, the CLP-240/
230 comes much closer to the sound of a true acoustic piano.
