Read More »The P-515 is the first P-Series instrument whose principal piano voices feature state-of-the-art multisamples of the Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial, two of the finest, most sought-after concert grand pianos in the world. Recorded at many velocity layers, the samples' loudness, brightness, and harmonic content respond to the player's dynamics exactly as the source acoustic pianos would. Exclusive Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) technology enhances the sound by duplicating the physical string and soundboard resonances that occur when notes are struck as other keys are held, or when the damper pedal is depressed. Key-release samples and a new Smooth Release function further ensure absolute realism. This sound engine is perfectly matched to the premium NWX graded action. The NWX is the first action of its kind to be deployed in a P-Series digital piano, featuring real wooden white keys with simulated ebony and ivory key surfaces whose texture assists finger grip and wicks away moisture. An escapement mechanism perfectly duplicates the subtle but unmistakable tactile feedback caused by the hammers in a grand piano "escaping" the rest of the action just before they strike the strings. The result is a fingers-to-music connection unparalleled in any digital piano. Connecting the P-515 to an Apple iPad® or iPhone® running the Yamaha Smart Pianist app opens a world of music education and control features. Smart Pianist can analyze music library songs that reside on the phone or tablet, and then automatically create and display chord charts for them, keeping beginning musicians engaged in learning songs they already listen to and love. Score display from MIDI song files is likewise supported. Smart Pianist also provides a quick and visual way to control all functions of the P-515. These functions include selection of both piano and non-piano voices, as well as accompaniment rhythms, MIDI song recording and playback, CD-quality audio recording (16-bit/44.1kHz WAV format) of performances to a connected USB flash drive and much more. Via the USB-to-host connection on the P-515, musicians can record both MIDI and audio directly to their computer DAW software of choice, with no external audio interface necessary. This makes it an ideal choice for songwriters who want quick, piano-driven inspiration but also plan to fine-tune captured ideas in a DAW.
