Yamaha P-225 WH

The P-225 is the latest Generation of Yamaha's popular P-series and comes in an elegant cabinet that is slightly shorter, flatter and more compact than its predecessor. The new GHC (Graded Hammer Compact) keyboard with hammer action has a well-balanced dynamic range and therefore gives a piano-like feel. Great attention has been paid to the P-225's sustaining piano sound, which is digitally reproduced and based on the flagship CFX concert grand piano. Thanks to Yamaha's Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM lite) technology, the instrument is able to reproduce the expressive and differentiated sound changes of a real grand piano, such as string vibrations. A total of 24 sounds are available. Due to the high polyphony of 192 voices, the P-225 has enough air upwards even when playing fast so that no fading note is swallowed. Four different Reverb effects as well as a wall EQ and the Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC) provide for a little more brilliance and room sound if desired. The keyboard modes Dual, Split and Layer are also implemented, these allow the distribution and layering of two sounds across the entire keyboard. For rhythmic accompaniment, a metronome can be switched on at any time. To perfect your own playing or to replace the third and fourth hand, the P-225 offers a linear, two-track recording function. The P-225's features include 303 learning songs, which can be accessed via the Smart Pianist app (Android / iOS). Those who would like to present their exercises and new works to others can do so digitally and conveniently with the Rec'n'Share app. Bluetooth audio streaming from your smartphone or tablet is also supported, so you can stream your favorite songs from YouTube and MP3 players directly to the P-225's speakers and play along with them. MIDI and audio are exchanged with the computer via USB. This benefits all musicians who want to use the digital piano for composing and producing together with a DAW. The position and angle of the built-in speakers have been placed to replicate the sound reflected from the soundboard and lid of an acoustic grand piano as accurately as possible.
