Yamaha Modus F02 digital piano red

General

If you're looking for the cream of the digital piano crop, then you'll definitely want to check out the Yamaha Modus F02 digital piano in red. Be warned though, this isn't your everyday instrument - although perhaps it is, if you listen to concert grands every day. With the F02, Yamaha offers the newest technology to produce a sound and performance that are sure to impress. Take for instance the wooden keys with synthetic ivory tops, and the Graded Hammer technology whereby the keys get gradually lighter as you move up the keyboard, just like with a real acoustic piano.

The sound

The Real Grand Expression technology by Yamaha is responsible for the sound, just as in the recent Yamaha Clavinovas. This technology, together with the Acoustic Optimizer, delivers a sound that is simply music to your ears. The character, rich intonation and expression of a concert grand piano will all be readily accessible in your home or studio with the addition of the Modus F02. Thanks to special-release samples, you can really let go and express your creativity with the extra-realistic keys that fully and accurately reproduce every nuance of your playing.

Extras

Even without any extras, this is already a magnificent digital piano, but Yamaha wanted to do even more. Along with the piano sound you also get some extra sounds to play with, and you have the option to layer them or split them up. With a polyphony of 256, you can press all of the keys down, even in dual mode, and still have 40 voices left over. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to understand that you're never going to have to deal with polyphony problems with this piano. Furthermore, you can use the built-in reverb to make your playing sound as if you're in a concert hall. And finally, you'll never miss a beat, because you can record it all in WAV format and save it to a USB stick to transport to your computer to listen to later.
