Newly developed GHC (Graded Hammer Compact) keyboard offers a realistic playing feel One of the main concerns that piano players have when purchasing a digital piano is the feel of the keyboard when they play. Some of the issues that players are specifically concerned about include: • whether the keys feel like a weighted acoustic piano keyboard • whether the keyboard will respond accurately when they play quicker passages • whether there are any inconsistencies between how hard they play the keys and the sound that results • whether the keyboard offers a sufficient soft-to-loud dynamic range. Yamaha’s previous P Series digital pianos have received high praise from customers for the excellent balance and feel offered by the GHS keyboards. Compared to its predecessor, the all-new P-145BT features a much shorter and slimmer body design with a simple yet more modern , compact style. The newly developed Graded Hammer Compact (GHC) 88-note keyboard is built to uncompromising standards and offers the same weighted acoustic piano-like playing feel as the GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) keys used in previous models of the P Series. Adjustable Touch Sensitivity – Regulation with the press of a button! Pianists will appreciate a regulated piano action. Whether experienced or a beginner, it means a piano that feels, performs and responds to their playing style. Regulating a piano can result in a touch that is soft, with little effort required to make a sound or, hard with a broad dynamic range. The volume level changes very widely from pianissimo to fortissimo, facilitating greater dynamics and dramatic expression. Regulating an acoustic piano is time consuming and, can be expensive. You can change the touch sensitivity of the P-145BT easily from the front panel or with a Smart device by using the Smart Pianist app. Touch Sensitivity Settings: 1) Soft: The volume level does not change much when you play the keyboard soft or hard. 2) Medium: This is the standard piano touch response (default setting). 3) Hard: The volume level changes very widely from pianissimo to fortissimo to facilitate dynamic and dramatic expression. You have to hit the keys hard to produce a loud sound. 4) Fixed: The volume level does not change at all regardless of whether you play the keyboard soft or hard. This is set for the pipe organ and harpsichord voices. Offering the sound of a full grand piano This model features the sound of a Yamaha full concert grand, the CFIIIS: the origin of Yamaha’s premier concert grand pianos, the CFX. The sound was sampled from a piano with a bright, transparent tone with a spacious treble and an overall solid sonic feel. In addition, the P-145BT features a damper resonance function that reproduces the rich resonance sound you hear when pressing the damper pedal, for an even fuller sound. The P-145BT comes supplied with a damper/sustain pedal/footswitch. We hope that you will enjoy the profoundly deep character of this instrument’s sound, so characteristic of that of a real grand piano. It goes without saying that this instrument doesn’t require tuning. Place the instrument wherever you like, or even take it with you One trouble that plagues pianists is that the acoustic piano is not an instrument you normally carry with you wherever you go. Another issue is that traditional pianos are often too large to fit into a room. The P-145BT provides a brilliant solution to these problems. With its stylish design, this compact model blends well with the decor of any room. With the optional soft case, you can take the P-145BT with you to the studio, to a party, to live gigs, or on a trip—whenever you need it. Access the features of this instrument with greater ease from the app By linking the P-145BT with Yamaha’s dedicated “Smart Pianist” digital piano app, you can intuitively perform all operations on the P-145BT from the screen of your smart device. There’s no longer any need to pull out the manual to see how things work. *When connecting a smart device to a musical instrument to use the app, you can either use a cable or connect wirelessly using the Yamaha UD-BT01 (sold separately; for iOS only). Minimalistic design featuring only carefully selected functionality The P-145BT is a design that perfectly embodies the expression, “less is more.” Most people who love playing the piano as their instrument don’t want a lot of rarely used features. The P-145BT offers a simple, modern form factor to meet the needs of such people. Balanced, clear sound The position and angle of the speakers on the back of the P-145BT have been adjusted to replicate the sounds reflected from the soundboard and lid of an acoustic grand piano as closely as possible. These adjustments let you enjoy playing with sharp and clear mid- to high-range tones and a prominent low-end for a well-balanced sound, even when the P-145BT is set up against a wall. Practice with 303 free pieces of classical sheet music The Smart Pianist app mentioned above comes with PDF scores of 303 classical pieces for practice such as Bayer, Burgmüller, Czerny, Hanon and more, which you are free to display and use on the screen of your smart device.
