One of the defining features of a CVP Clavinova is the multitude of different Styles that can be controlled in real-time by playing chords on the keyboard. Accompaniment Styles introduce ensembles of virtual musicians to your performances in a variety of musical genres. From small jazz ensembles to full orchestras, you control what chords or harmony they play by what YOU play, plus you control the dynamic of the ensemble. Developed by professional session musicians from around the world, Styles add authentic, studio-quality backing players to your performances - even when you play by yourself. You can use Styles to add embellishing Intros, Endings & Fill-Ins and even arrange songs in real-time.
Now anyone can play a hit song, one light at a time.
CVP Clavinovas are very patient: if you dont play the right notes, they wait until you do! This is made possible with the CVPs unique Guide feature. As the easiest way to play a song, the Follow Lights library teaches you popular melodies in a way only possible on a CVP Clavinova. Just follow the lights one note at a time, and fully-arranged orchestrations and arpeggios embellish your playing. Here, you dont play along with a recording, the recording literally plays along with YOU. Visit www.yamahamusicsoft.com/followlights to browse the entire library today.

Alternatively, you can connect a portable music device such as an MP3 player or smart phone to enjoy listening through the Clavinovas high-definition speaker system.
An Exciting day with Yamaha! Staff Review by Justin Myerscough
Every now and again myself and colleague Keith Rawlinson get to escape the shop for the day to preview new products with Yamaha , on this occasion it was for the August 2015 launch of the new PSRS series Keyboards - PSR-S670 - PSRS-770 - PSR-S970 and the new CVP700 series Digital Pianos - CVP701 - CVP705 - CVP709
First Impressions of the Yamaha CVP709.
The most obvious difference I think was the basic Piano sound itself , having now received the Bosendorfer piano sample, this is a completely different sound to the main Yamaha Grand Piano sample that we have been used to , a sound that is more mellow and full of character is the way that it comes across to me. The combination of this and the new speaker system really makes a big difference to the core sound of this product. We saw a an amusing and interesting demonstration of the new Spruced Cone Speaker and Twisted Flare Port using a large bottle of water !, basically if you tip the water out and hold it still, it takes a lot longer to get rid of the water than if you twist or spin the bottle, this translates to more of the bass being punched out quicker, producing a much nicer and tighter bass sound. The Spruced cone will also have a benefit in improving the tone.
Piano Room
This was an interesting new feature of the previous range that gave you lovely clear images of your chosen piano type ( grand, upright etc ) and the ambience from your desired location ( stage, hall,room etc ). This time they have made this feature into what I think is the most exciting and will be the most used feature of the product , because it is so simple and clear and intuitive. What happens is that if for example you start off with just the piano , you have a very clear image of the piano on the screen , you can then very easily just add your bass player and drummer or the complete backing band , it works so beautifully people are just going to love this feature , it also means you can use the instrument without even having to touch a single button, just operating it from the very clear touch screen, it even crossed our minds when we tried this that if you had some kind of " blanking plate " to cover all the buttons you would still be able to use it very nicely.
