Yamaha MODUS digital piano
In an appeal to upscale, design-conscious consumers, Yamaha has launched MODUS – a new digital piano featuring a sophisticated slim style that accents the finest living environments. Inspired by the ‘Clavinova’, this new design offers the same space-saving attributes and outstanding sound quality.
These artistically and architecturally designed pianos are suited to those wishing the quality and experience of a grand piano, but perhaps don’t have the space or interiors to facilitate a traditional grand or upright piano.
Best of all, these are connected to the web and can stream free music live from Yamaha’s Japan headquarters including ‘playing for you’ with the moving keys function – the equivalent of the old Pianola style.

“We are catering to the new design-conscious consumer and this instrument sounds and feels as beautiful as it looks,” Surround Sounds director Mark Jeisman says.
Design is not just about what the instrument looks like; it’s also about how it works, and this is where MODUS shines. The model features an 88-note natural wood keyboard for authentic grand piano feel and three-level dynamic stereo sampling AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation, which varies the volume and timbre of sound according to the user’s touch on the keyboard. The piano’s 64-note polyphony and 10 instrument voices provide a rich dimension of sound.
The LSI chipset technology found in the Modus is from the same Family as the RX series Home Cinema Surround Sound Receivers and Amplifiers so there is a great shared synergy between a musical creation product and re-creation product.
The MODUS also includes a USB input that allows users to connect the instrument to a home computer, three pedals (damper with half-pedal effect, sostenuto, and soft) and a built-in 40W (x2) sound system. A variety of finishes including amber glow, velvet rouge and deep brunette – all accented with polished ebony – are available across five different models.
