Stream Lights - The Yamaha P-S500 shows you which notes to play, and when to play them with red and blue lights above each key. This exceptional feature assists with learning and practice, without having to learn how to read sheet music, putting the fun back into learning. Two of the World's Finest Grand Pianos - Featuring piano sounds captured from the world-class Yamaha CFX Concert Grand and the iconic Viennese Bösendorfer Imperial grand, the P-S500 puts the authentic sounds of these renowned concert grand pianos at your fingertips. A Fully Immersive Concert Grand Experience - Binaural sampling is a method of sampling in which special microphones are placed on a mannequin’s head in the same positions as the pianist’s ears to capture piano sounds the way that they sound in reality. To capture the ambience and full natural character of acoustic pianos, the P-S500 utilizes binaural sampling - a unique sampling procedure in which special microphones are placed on a mannequin's head in the same place as a person's ears to accurately capture realistic piano sounds. This gives the immersive feeling of sitting at a real grand piano, even when headphones are used. Virtual Resonance Modeling - Grand pianos produce a rich reverberance that immerses the listener due to the strings and mechanical sounds resonating throughout the instrument's entire body. The strings you play vibrate, and create sympathetic vibrations across other strings as you play, resulting in complex and rich harmonics and overtones. The P-S500 uses Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) to reproduce this phenomenon with precision - a technology that calculated the various states of the strings for each of the 88 individual notes of the keyboard in a variety of instances. Consequently, the PS-500 captures the endless number of factors that naturally occur when playing an acoustic piano, like which keys are played, the strength with which they are played, and pedal timing. Authentic Piano Feel - The Yamaha Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) keyboard utilizes a weighted action with heavier touch in the low end and lighter touch in the high end, reminiscent of the hammers inside an acoustic piano. Ideal for the aspiring player, rehearsing on the GHS action promotes correct finger technique and strength for when the time comes to step up to an acoustic piano. Play Favourites from the Built-In Library - The P-S500 features a library of 403 songs that span a vast range of genres, from pop to classical scores, allowing you to play melodies with the compliment of a full band arrangement. Audio to Score is a powerful feature that automatically creates piano accompaniment scores from your favourite audio tracks, so you can jam along with the original songs. Voices - With 660 various high-quality Voices, such as gorgeous acoustic and electric pianos, organs, brass, strings, percussion and more, the P-S500 accurately recreates the finest nuances of instruments from airy saxophones to sustaining guitars, and lush, resonant strings. Styles - Recreate the sound and atmosphere of a full band or orchestra with Styles - accompaniment and rhythm backing patterns that span a wide range of musical styles, like pop, jazz and beyond. Recording - Capture your playing in a conventional manner to play back on your smart device with the Audio Recording tool, or use MIDI recording to capture up to 16 tracks, with individual left and right-hand parts, or complex multi-instrumental arrangements. Microphone Connectivity - Connect a microphone to P-S500 to sing along with your performance, or sing with Song playback. You can even manipulate your vocals with a collection of various studio-grade effects, like chorus, or even cancel the vocal performance on audio recordings so you can sing along (instead of) your favourite artists, and immerse yourself even further.
