Overview

The Yamaha NP-V60 is a digital piano released in 2010. It is aimed at those primarily wanting a quality piano sound and keyboard feel.

The NP-V60 has 76 semi-weighted full sized keys with touch sensitivity but no aftertouch. It has 32 notes of polyphony, which is considered low for a modern digital piano but was common on older instruments with less advanced sound technology. It has hundreds of on board sounds including pianos and real world sounds, accompaniments and rhythms, and a sustain/damper pedal.

It uses Yamaha's AWM sound generation. Advanced Wave Memory is a classic high-quality sample playback and layering engine.

It has the ability to record and play back user performances. It has built-in MIDI capabilities. It offers an on-board learning system. It has a built-in amplifier and speakers. It runs from AC power.

It's very much an entry level model, making it cheaper but also with fewer functions or lower quality sounds than more expensive keyboards.

Description

In both design and playability, Yamaha Piaggero embodies the almost lyrical combination of "piano" and "leggero" - Italian for "light" - that constitutes its name. Piaggero provides go-anywhere portability and style while also delivering Yamaha's legendary piano touch & tone. Whether you're taking up piano for the first time or recapturing your musical passion, the Piaggero offers easy-going piano fun.

Touch of Class

To recreate the playability of an acoustic piano, Piaggero features Yamaha's own Graded Soft Touch (GST) keyboard, giving keys in the lower octave a heavier touch than those in the upper octaves. While this scaled level of resistance is graded for a piano-like response, the keys themselves are not weighted for the sake of portability. This brings the NP-V60 in at less than 14 pounds but still provides a touch that all pianists can appreciate.

Essential Voices

Along with superb grand piano sound, Piaggero features a number of popular instrument Voices, such as organ, strings, and guitar all recorded using Yamaha's AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) stereo sampling technology for amazingly true-to-life sound. And for a complete orchestra of sonic options, Piaggero includes XGlite Voices and drum/SFX kits. This ensures compatibility with the wealth of Standard-MIDI and XG song files available today.

Perform with Style

Piaggero NP-V60 boasts 160 preset Styles -- from the basic rock and jazz beats to contemporary electronic rhythms -- that follow and backup the performer with dynamically responsive accompaniment. Every Style is essentially a backup band of virtual virtuosos ready to follow your lead. Piaggero Styles all feature custom intros, variations, and endings giving you total control over your arrangement. Go ahead and play a couple of extra verses at the end of your performance... Piaggero can handle it.

Piaggero Takes Requests

At the touch of a button, Piaggero's Music Database offers pre-set combinations of Styles, Voices, effects and tempos based on the song you'd like to perform. Music Database is not jukebox or playback device... it's a feature that you use to quickly set up the PIaggero so you can play your favorite songs. As new songs become popular, Piaggero's Music Database stays with the times because additional titles can be downloaded from the internet on your PC and transferred via USB. It's the never-ending set list.
