Main Features
Authentic acoustic- and electric-piano sounds of unparalleled quality
Building on our decades of experience in the production of stage pianos, we have meticulously adjusted the sound of
each individual key and realized perfect balance over the full length of the keyboard, creating full-bodied piano tones
ideal for solo performances and authentically rich sounds well suited for playing within an ensemble. Furthermore, by
analyzing and replicating the sound-producing mechanisms of classic electric pianos using cutting-edge technologies,
we have been able to achieve an extremely smooth response in the CP88 and CP73 keyboards.
Weighted hammer-action keyboards
CP series employ a keyboard with a weighted hammer-action design that is virtually indistinguishable from an
acoustic piano. The CP88’s NW-GH3 (Natural Wood Graded Hammer keyboard with synthetic ebony and ivory
keytops) keyboard reproduce a touch of grand piano by giving all keys an authentic resistance that increases from the
top register to the lower. And the CP73 features a BHS (Balanced Hammer Standard) keyboard with matte black
keytops, perfect for performing as an electric piano as well.
Design embodies high-class appearance and portability
Featuring a stylish, finely crafted aluminum exterior in a light, compact package, the CP88 and CP73 project an
exceptionally professional appearance and provide convenient portability onstage.
User interface provides direct, intuitive control required for live performance
The three Voice sections—Piano, E.Piano and Sub—are indicated clearly on the top panel, giving you all the
controllers you need onstage, allowing you to directly adjust each parameter as you need while you play. The LED
indicator lamps show you the selected Voice, letting you fully concentrate on your performance. Moreover, you can
enhance sounds on-the-fly, adding various effects to suit your performance as you play.
Connect with other devices and expand your performance potential
Comprehensive MIDI controls and powerful Master Keyboard features make it easy to connect and use the
instrument with software synthesizers and external MIDI devices. Moreover, the instrument has a built-in USB
Audio/MIDI interface for convenient recording functions in home and professional studios, as well as onstage
performance power.
