Welcome to the
GranTouch
Thank you for choosing a Yamaha
GranTouch
™—the digital piano with a “grand” touch
and sound. The rest of this page talks about the
GranTouch’s
unique features.
Real Grand Piano Keyboard and Action
GranTouch
is the first digital piano to feature a real grand piano keyboard and action, so it
feels and responds just like a real grand piano. Newly developed continuous optical key sen-
sors mean that the
GranTouch
captures every subtle nuance of your playing. Even staccato
and legato playing is reproduced faithfully.
Real Grand Piano Sound
The superb piano sound is provided by a massive 30-megabyte memory, which contains
the digitally sampled, stereo sound of a classic Yamaha CFIIIS concert grand piano. Even
the effect of the sustain pedal has been captured, providing the rich harmonic resonance of
a true grand. A 60-watt stereo power amplifier and three-way speaker system reproduce the
sound in all its richness and glory. While high-quality reverb programs simulate the acoustic
ambiance of three different playing environments: Room, Hall 1, and Hall 2.
Play Anytime, Anywhere
A continuous volume control allows you to play at any volume, depending on your situa-
tion. For private practice without disturbing others, headphones can be used. Two pairs of
headphones can be connected so another person can listen to your playing or play along in
a duet. AUX and MIDI connections expand your creative options for using the
GranTouch
with other electronic musical instruments, computers, and MIDI sequencers.
