Essential Sounds
The P-140 brings users an exceptional range of instrument voices, from organs
and harpsichords to the new, all-in-one piano & string dual voice. Recorded
using Yamaha’s own AWM sampling technology, all onboard voices accurately
reproduce the subtlest harmonics of the actual instrument with stunning
realism.
Dynamic Stereo Sampling
To offer truly authentic sound, Yamaha takes piano voice sampling to a whole new
level. With three separate layers of stereo samples each set at a different
velocity, Dynamic Stereo Sampling changes not only the volume, but also the
harmonic structure of the notes depending on how hard you play the keyboard –
just like a real acoustic piano! An exclusive fourth sample layer recreates a
piano’s unique sustain resonance whenever the damper pedal is pressed, while
key-off samples add even the most subtle sounds of felt dampers coming to rest
on piano strings. Better still, the P-140’s newly designed, built-in powered
speaker system directs your music forward for unbeatable sound.
Realistic Piano Action
The P-140 features Yamaha’s highly acclaimed Graded Hammer Effect keyboard, the
result of more than a century’s worth of piano craftsmanship and ingenuity. It’s
designed so that the keys in the lower registers have a heavier touch than those
in the upper, which helps to create the feel of an acoustic piano. Just take a
look at the different-sized hammers under the lid of any grand piano and you’ll
see why Yamaha puts the Graded Hammer Effect keyboard in all P-Series
instruments.
Stylish Design and Matching Keyboard Stand
The sleek and stylish P-140 is designed to impress with rounded corners, built-
in speakers, and a new orange LED that is sure to turn heads. These new features
are all built into a compact chassis available in either silver or black with
wood top panels of maple or dark oak respectively. What’s more, these stylish
designs are perfectly complemented by the P-140’s optional, slim keyboard stands
in either color.
Build in sequencer for your very own music
The P-140 offers a little sequencer with 2 tracks - the perfect companion to
sketch your own musical ideas. Its memory holds up to 11,000 notes in up to 3
songs. Enough space for your musical creation.
50 Preset Piano Songs at Your Fingertips
Time for a break? A selection of 50 different piano songs is provided for your
listening pleasure. These recordings were chosen for their beauty as well as
their functionality. Since many of the songs are classic piano pieces, anyone
taking lessons can listen to them for reference. Feel like practicing? Mute the
left or right hand parts of any internal song for hands-separate practicing. You
play one hand, while the P-140 accompanies you with the other. Music educators
agree that this is an essential part of learning any piece of music.
