Das CP4 scheint die NW aus den gröseren Clavinovas zu haben und SCM ist auch an Bord !
Hier ein Statement aus den USA (keyboard corner forum):
Hi,
Sorry we haven't replied yet as we just got off a red eye from Japan.
Here are some answers to questions that have been raised.
We did ask to have some information held back on the forums, but only until we could get information out to our dealers so they wouldn't be caught by surprise. The ad appeared a few weeks before we thought it would. So we are happy to provide information here now that dealers have been provided with the information they needed.
On September 9th at 1 PM PST Yamaha's website and dealer websites will be opened with complete information, movies and interviews with artists.
The CP4 will start appearing in stores in the US around October 1st. The MAP price of the CP4 in the US is $2199.99.
It does feature Spectral Component Modeling . It is a Graded Wooden Hammer action (the CP5 was balanced so the weight did not change over the keyboard).
The CP4 Stage is the first pro stage piano to feature a CFX,Yamaha' flagship 9' Concert Grand. . It also has a CFIII and S6 pianos so the entire Yamaha Premium Piano Collection is represented. By the way, the S6 piano is very similar in design and part of the same family as the S700. It was specifically designed to have a warmer, more intimate sound than the CFX and CFIII.
At the same time we are releasing the CP40 , a baby brother to the CP4 which has fewer sounds (no CFX and one tine EP model). This will be a MAP price of $1699.99 in the US and replaces the CP50.
One of the biggest improvements on the new CP series is the user interface. It's very easy to understand and quick to get around on. We think people will really like it. There is also direct audio recording and playback to USB memory devices.
If you have specific questions, we are happy to try and provide that information.
Actually, the Graded NW action is now the same design as used on our hi end Clavinova's so it's not new, but has been implemented in the overall design so it's roadworthy. The CP5 was a Balanced NW action.
The reduction in weight came from other areas including the overall size of the design itself.
The 45 grand pianos are different voices created from the core CFX, CFIII and S6 sounds. There is a lot of control on board including mic modeling , virtual circuit modeling effects, parametric EQ and of course reverb, delays, etc.
As well, there are different sample variations , for example , there is a Mono version of each piano, etc.
The 47 electric pianos are created from the different Spectral Component Models. There are different models of different era tine and reed electric pianos as well as DX7 and CP80 sounds These are based on the Spectral Component Modeling sounds from the former series , but have been updated in particular to match the new graded NW keyboard.
Standard AC cable with internal Power Supply on the CP4 , the CP40 uses a PA150 AC adaptor. 2 foot switches (Sustain and Assignable) on both and they both come with an FC3 continuous control pedal for half dampering.
There are two control pedal inputs on the CP4 and one on the CP40.
The CP4 also has balanced XLR outputs so there is no need for external direct boxes Forgot to mention that and someone did ask.
