The Yamaha NP-30/YNP-25 offers unmatched sonic realism and natural grand-piano type playability as well as

Yamaha’s original “AWM Stereo Sampling” tone-generation technology for rich, musical voices.

In particular, the Grand Piano 1 and 2 voices feature samples painstakingly recorded from a full concert grand piano,

while the Electric Piano 1 and 2 voice features multiple samples for different velocities (Dynamic Sampling); in other

words, it uses different samples depending on the strength of your playing.
