TRANSACOUSTIC FEATURES


 

 

Transacoustic Sensor Close Detail

The soundboard is your amplifier
When a hammer strikes a string, all elements of the acoustic piano resonate together to amplify the unique sound of the instrument. TransAcoustic Technology uses these acoustic elements to bring digital sounds to life, allowing you to adjust the volume and experience the piano in a whole new way.

Upright Piano Soundboard with Transacoustic System

Let there be light transducers
Transacoustic's state-of-the-art, ultra-light transducer turns digital sounds into vibrations and applies them directly to the soundboard. All without sacrificing the remarkable acoustic tone you’ve come to expect from a Yamaha piano.

Key Sensor and Key Felts Detail

Every nuance, every note
An advanced non-contact Articulation Sensor System continuously measures the movement, timing, depth and force of every key attack and release to faithfully capture and reproduce the subtle nuances of your performance.

Acoustic piano hammers resting on piano strings

Pure, natural sound
Three proprietary technologies work together to emulate the natural feeling and sound of an acoustic piano in your headphones. Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) recreates the resonance of the strings, soundboard and case. An advanced binaural sampling method simulates the sound you hear when sitting at the piano. Smooth Release Technology models the subtle interactions of the piano strings with the damper.

Child playing acoustic piano silently with headphones

Find your voice
The world-renowned Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial concert grands are two of many digital voices available in your headphones including electric pianos, harpsichords, organs, strings, choir and synth pad.

iPad connected to Yamaha Transacoustic Piano

Plays well with others
It’s easy to connect TransAcoustic with your audio and MIDI devices for recording, live sound or broadcast and it works seamlessly with computers, mixing boards and Bluetooth®-enabled devices.
