The CLP-685, CLP-675 and CLP-695GP feature a brand new keyboard, which reproduces the authentic touch and feel

of an actual grand piano. Its improved keyboard mechanism provides a wider range of touch response, with

exceptionally expressive control from pianissimo to fortissimo. Moreover, the keys have an even longer pivot point

distance (length from the front side to the pivot point), for more natural feeling, even when playing the inner part of a

key. In addition, all models feature piano sounds created with samples of the Yamaha CFX flagship concert grand piano

and the famed Vienna-made Bösendorfer grand piano. Moreover, the VRM function on all models simulates the

luscious resonance effect on acoustic pianos—where the sound of one string causes sympathetic vibration in other

strings and the soundboard. You can customize the piano sound (in a special “Piano Room” setting group) by adjusting

various parameters such as string resonance, damper resonance and touch response.

When headphones are connected, the piano sounds are automatically adjusted to impart a natural sound distance

sensation. Also, selecting the CFX Voice calls up a binaural sampling sound, enabling realistic, natural sound when

using headphones (page20). Altogether, these models deliver widely variegated and rich sounds that are faithful to

actual acoustic pianos.

* Bösendorfer is a subsidiary company of Yamaha.

Also built into this instrument are 50 classical music masterpieces, plus 303 lesson Songs for mastering the piano. You

can simply enjoy listening to these built-in Songs, or use them for separate right-hand/left-hand practicing.* The 303

lesson Songs consist of practice pieces taken from various standard piano instruction manuals, including “The Virtuoso

Pianist.” Moreover, you can input the audio from a smart device to this instrument via Bluetooth** and hear it through

the built-in speakers of the instrument. Refer to page81 for details.

*The part on/off function is available only for MIDI songs that have both right- and left-hand parts.

**The models CLP-685, CLP-675, CLP-645, CLP-695GP and CLP-665GP are equipped with Bluetooth functionality; however, even these

models may not support Bluetooth, depending on the country in which you purchased the product. For information on whether Bluetooth

functionality is included or not, refer to page138.

Playing along with one of the twenty basic rhythms built into the instrument is a great way to add excitement to your

performances. They feature a variety of different patterns from jazz, popular music, and the like, to give you what you

need to make playing more fun and lively.

The instrument lets you save your performance to internal memory or a USB flash drive (sold separately). You can

record your performance using one of two methods, MIDI or Audio recording, according to your needs. MIDI

recording is ideal for making independent tracks—for example, recording a right-hand part to Track 1 first, and then a

left-hand part to Track 2—allowing you to create pieces that would be difficult to play live with both hands together.

Audio recording on the other hand, saves recorded data in stereo, CD-quality WAV format to a USB flash drive, for

storing to computer and playing on portable music players.
