Hybrid Technologies

A more human performanceg

No two artists are alike. Disklavier features two patented systems that work together to recreate the intangible, human variations that other reproducing pianos can’t. Our Optical Sensor System continuously measures the subtle movements of each key, hammer and pedal, while our AccuPlay Technology interprets every detail in real time and adjusts to faithfully reproduce each note.

What cutting edge sounds like

The subtle ways an artist presses and releases each key determines the quality of sound. Disklavier is the only reproducing piano that measures both key attack and release, capturing the articulation of every performance, with up to 1024 dynamic levels of key and hammer velocities and 256 unique pedal positions.

Video Sync Technology

Record recitals, concerts or rehearsals, sync them to video and play them back on your piano. Then save them and share with family and friends. Disklavier makes every live performance come to life.

Quiet please

Quiet Mode turns your acoustic piano into a purely digital instrument that plays at your chosen volume through fully-integrated speakers. Or turn off the volume and turn on SILENT Piano™. Our proprietary binaural recording method recreates every nuance of the sound and presence of our flagship Yamaha CFX in your headphones.

Connects with your smart devices

The world’s most advanced piano is remarkably easy to use. Disklavier connects wirelessly with your smartphone, tablet or laptop for quick access to the ENSPIRE Controller app.

World's top artists in your living room

Disklavier faithfully recreates exclusive performances from Yamaha artists including Sarah McLachlan, Bob James and Jamie Cullum as if they were sitting at your piano. Plus their band, ensemble or symphony will be right there with them in the fully-integrated speakers. Download thousands of performances in all genres of music, from solo piano to piano accompanied by world renowned philharmonic orchestras.

Disklavier Premium Pass delivers your favorite music to your piano through three unique streaming services, DisklavierRadio, Disklavier OnDemand and DisklavierTV. Delight in expertly curated selections, personalized playlists, or visually immersive performances for a piano experience unlike any other. LEARN MORE

Transcend acoustic.
Yamaha TransAcoustic™ is unlike any piano you’ve ever heard. A true acoustic piano that uses its soundboard to naturally amplify digital sounds, turning your instrument into the world’s most incredible acoustic speaker. Transform your acoustic piano into a Yamaha or Bösendorfer concert grand, an electric piano, harpsichord, organ and more. Then record a track and play along on your acoustic piano. TransAcoustic stretches the imagination and opens up a new world of possibilities.

 

The soundboard is your amplifier

When a hammer strikes a string, all elements of the acoustic piano resonate together to amplify the unique sound of the instrument. TransAcoustic Technology uses these acoustic elements to bring digital sounds to life, allowing you to adjust the volume and experience the piano in a whole new way.

 

Let there be light transducers

We created a state-of-the-art, ultra-light transducer that can turn digital sounds into vibrations and apply them directly to the soundboard. All without sacrificing the remarkable acoustic tone you’ve come to expect from a Yamaha piano.

 

Every nuance, every note

Our advanced non-contact Articulation Sensor System continuously measures the movement, timing, depth and force of every key attack and release to faithfully capture and reproduce the subtle nuances of your performance.

 

Pure, natural sound

Three proprietary technologies work together to emulate the natural feeling and sound of an acoustic piano in your headphones. Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) recreates the resonance of the strings, soundboard and case. Our advanced binaural sampling method simulates the sound you hear when sitting at the piano. Smooth Release Technology models the subtle interactions of the piano strings with the damper.

 

Find your voice

The world-renowned Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial concert grands are two of many digital voices available in your headphones including electric pianos, harpsichords, organs, strings, choir and synth pad.

 

Plays well with others

It’s easy to connect TransAcoustic with your audio and MIDI devices for recording, live sound or broadcast and it works seamlessly with computers, mixing boards and Bluetooth®-enabled devices.

The remarkable sound of the AvantGrand is sampled from multiple positions on a piano soundboard using our proprietary Spatial Acoustic Sampling process. Beautifully sculpted speakers shape the natural tones, colors and harmonics to deliver the true sound of the original acoustic instruments.

 

Natural feel, no strings attached

Our innovative Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) simulates the way the strings, soundboard and body resonate to reproduce the presence of an acoustic piano. Our Tactile Response System (TRS) recreates the subtle sensation you feel in your hands and feet while pressing the keys and pedals.

 

Turn off the sound, turn up the headphones

By day, it’s a world-renowned digital piano. By night, the neighbors won’t hear a thing. Our advanced binaural recording process recreates the tone, nuanced colors and resonance of our flagship Yamaha CFX or Bösendorfer Imperial in your headphones.
