Welcome to the 
 
GranTouch
 
Thank you for choosing a Yamaha 
 
GranTouch
 
™—the digital piano with a “grand” touch 
and sound. The rest of this page talks about the 
 
GranTouch’s
 
 unique features.
 
Real Grand Piano Keyboard and Action
 
GranTouch
 
 is the first digital piano to feature a real grand piano keyboard and action, so it 
feels and responds just like a real grand piano. Newly developed continuous optical key sen-
sors mean that the 
 
GranTouch
 
 captures every subtle nuance of your playing. Even staccato 
and legato playing is reproduced faithfully. 
 
Real Grand Piano Sound
 
The superb piano sound is provided by a massive 30-megabyte memory, which contains 
the digitally sampled, stereo sound of a classic Yamaha CFIIIS concert grand piano. Even 
the effect of the sustain pedal has been captured, providing the rich harmonic resonance of 
a true grand. A 60-watt stereo power amplifier and three-way speaker system reproduce the 
sound in all its richness and glory. While high-quality reverb programs simulate the acoustic 
ambiance of three different playing environments: Room, Hall 1, and Hall 2. 
 
Play Anytime, Anywhere
 
A continuous volume control allows you to play at any volume, depending on your situa-
tion. For private practice without disturbing others, headphones can be used. Two pairs of 
headphones can be connected so another person can listen to your playing or play along in 
a duet. AUX and MIDI connections expand your creative options for using the 
 
GranTouch
 
 
with other electronic musical instruments, computers, and MIDI sequencers.
