Yamaha Announce their New CLP600 Series
Be the first to read about the CLP600 here at Keysound.
Introducing GrandTouch and ebony keytops
The newly developed GrandTouch keys offer more responsive touch and a greater dynamic range than ever before. The pianist can experience a natural, balanced response from the tip to the very back of each key. The black keys on all keyboards of the new CLP-600 series are finished in ebony. Synthetic ivory key tops reproduce the tactile surface of the real ivory keyboards that were once used in older acoustic pianos. It features highly absorbent material that prevents fingers from slipping even after hours of practice, while retain-ing the ideal texture and feel.
Real grand piano tone
Two world-renowned concert grand pianos in one. The powerful tone of the flagship Yamaha concert grand, the CFX, and the unmistakable sound of a Bösendorfer Imperial are available at the touch of a button. In the CLP-685 you will also find the Yamaha C7 Studio Grand. In additional to this, all models from the CLP-635 upwards include an Upright Piano voice.
Piano Room
Physical modeling techniques provide authentic reproductions of internal grand piano reverberations and offer rich, endlessly varying expressive capabilities. VRM reproduces the resonance characteristics of the strings for every note on the grand piano keyboard in nuanced detail.
Enhanced Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) for rich and bright sound
In a grand piano, sound resonates throughout the body of the instrument, producing a rich reverberation that envelops the listener in sound. These phenomena are reproduced perfectly in the Clavinova through Yamaha Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) technology. The piano body resonates just like an acoustic piano. The acoustic system of the Clavinova reproduces the sensation of the entire piano vibrating, just like the feeling of playing an acoustic piano.
Even headphones produce a larger than life experience.
Thanks to advanced binaural sampling technology, you can enjoy the highly realistic sensation of playing a concert grand piano even when you are using headphones. For the first time Yamaha’s advanced binaural sampling technology is now available on the Clavinova. The technology uses samples from the CFX recorded with specialized microphones that capture locational information and other nuances discerned by the human ear. The resulting sound is so natural, so enveloping, that you’ll soon forget you’re even wearing headphones at all.
Built-in Bluetooth audio
You can play along with music from your favorite music apps via the Clavinova’s built-in Bluetooth interface.

Korg PA4X NEW Operating System OS 1.2.1 OUT NOW!!
Korg have been working hard again to bring us version OS 1.2.1, making the PA4X even better
Bug fixes
Where
Keyboard Sounds
When the Upper Volume Link parameter was selected, the proportional
volume change of the Upper Sounds didn’t always behave correctly.
Style Play
Fill Mode settings where not saved in the Style Settings and SongBook
Entries.
When the Fill Mode Lock was selected, depending on the status of other
Locks the system could freeze when choosing a Style.
Song Play
After having selected a Song by entering its ID number, the Select button
in the Song Select window could no longer be accessed, and no Song
could be selected.
SongBook
Depending on the selected Columns preferences, some information
where not shown correctly, or some parameters could blink.
Sampling
When loading samples that had been compressed in Pa3X, then decompressed
in Pa4X v1.1.3, the samples could play wrongly under Pa4X v1.2.0
if loaded under some circumstances (loading separate Sounds, or only
the SOUND folder). Please note that samples saved again with Pa4X
v1.1.3 or v1.2.0 were not damaged, and could play correctly after recompressing
them; no data could be lost.
Effects for Sounds
When choosing a Style with an Acc track type set to Drum, the Send 2 FX
level could appear as set to zero, but a Delay effect could still be heard.
MIDI
After booting, the Clock Send parameter could appear selected, but no
clock message was actually sent.
