Yamaha enhanced CVP300 Series Clavinova Digital Pianos: Internet and Lyrics DisplayYamaha’s newly enhanced CVP300 Series Clavinova digital pianos, which challenge the boundaries of technological innovation and musical craftsmanship with features previously found only on high-end instruments, are winning raves from retailers and customers now that they’ve rolled out to the nation’s sales floors.Yamaha CVP309GP The CVP301, CVP303, CVP305, CVP307, CVP309 and CVP309GP offer Internet Direct Connection, song and lyric displays, floppy disk drive and Smart-Media slots, as well as the famous USA Edition upgrade. Mike Bennett, manager of piano and organ sales at Saied Music in Tulsa, Okla., says, “In my opinion it’s the single biggest jump from one generation of a product to another.” “Even customers who already own Clavinovas have been blown away by the quality of the sound difference,” Bennett relates. “I think it’s the best-sounding digital piano on the market.” In Indianapolis, Ind., Meridian Music piano sales associate Eric Murzyn reports that buyers appreciate the new controls on the CVP300 line. “The streamlined features are appealing,” he says. “The crucial things that people want to do are easier to maneuver around. The screen itself looks simpler and less overwhelming, and the record output options are better. It has other memory options that will hold more, and that’s an improvement as well.” All models are easier to operate than their predecessors, thanks to new “Direct Select” buttons for the Song, Style and Registration sections, and come complete with a Quick-Start DVD/DVD-ROM featuring Craig Knudsen and Tom Folenta that also includes 20 “Follow Lights” song files. “The Clavinova continues to set the standard for easy-to-use home digital piano technology that the whole family can enjoy, and the piano’s Internet Direct Connection capability will revolutionize how players access and enjoy their favorite music directly from the web,” says Jim Levesque, Electronic Keyboard marketing manager, Piano Division, Yamaha Corporation of America. “Now that the CVP300s are out there for the buying public to evaluate, we’re pleased that they’re being received so well—but we’re not surprised.” With the Internet Direct Connection feature, CVP300 Series users can access the Internet from the LCD display of the Clavinova and download their favorite song files and styles directly to the keyboard, making them available for immediate use. An appropriate high-speed Internet connection is necessary to use the Internet Direct Connection feature. At Saied Music in Tulsa, Bennett says he’s hooked up the new Clavinovas to a wireless router, so that customers can see Internet Direct Connection at work with no external connections. “They like the concept, and as a sales tool, it’s quite powerful,” he says. “It’s the only digital piano in the world that does that, and it helps you close the sale.” In addition to using Internet Direct Connection, users can also realize their dream of creating their own CDs by sending the digital audio of their music to another device for recording. Thanks to the built-in Optical Out terminal (CVP305 and higher), players can plug directly into the digital input of a conventional audio CD recorder or use the optional UW10 USB-Audio Interface to transfer their creations to a computer via a simple USB connection. Then, using a computer and conventional CD burning software, players can make customized CDs of their songs and performances. Another innovative feature found in the CVP300 Series is called “Performance Assistant,” which is particularly helpful for those who have never played a keyboard before. While “Follow Lights” take advantage of the exclusive “Guide” mode, causing the instrument to wait until you play the right note, Performance Assistant ensures that all the notes you play are the right notes! When it comes to playing back popular songs with complete rhythmic backing and accompaniment, the Clavinova offers a total of 120 songs in its built-in Song Book (56 songs on the CVP301). Users can call up the music notation for each song, and even the lyrics for certain titles. For the creative musician, the Clavinova contains a virtual 16-track recording studio, making it possible to craft complex songs and arrangements, one track at a time, using the realistic voices built into the instrument. + Post comment/question/reply Remarkable Innovations Highlight Affordable Yamaha PSR550 Portable Keyboard How to write great Lyrics and Music is not just the lyrics that are considered great, but the whole song: melody, lyrics, the singers voice, rhythm, beat, guitar part, the bass guitar sound and groove and sound samples.
