01-3 Synthesizer Pianos
The CP1 can also faithfully reproduce the piano sounds of the classic
Yamaha DX7 synthesizer. A synth produces sound by manipulating
signal waveforms using electronic circuits or digital signal
processing. Whenever this type of instrument is used as part of an
ensemble, furthermore, its line-output sound is processed using
pre-amplifier tone control in order to produce a frequency
characteristic that blends well with that of the other instruments. In
order to further enhance its synthesizer piano sounds, the CP1's
synth voices feature a tone controller capable of reproducing this
specific type of frequency characteristic.

Operating on the principle of FM tone generation, the Yamaha DX Series debuted at the beginning of the eighties as the world's first digital
synthesizers. The number of different sounds available and their sensitivity to different playing styles left musicians around the world in awe.
Singled out for particular praise and quickly finding a home in many different musical scenes were the electric piano sounds of the DX synths.
Produced by laying hard, high-order harmonic overtones that change delicately in response to touch over a warm, wide characteristic tone, this
totally new electric piano sound took to world by storm. The CP1 does not, however, limit itself to merely recreating the sounds of that time; rather,
a thicker tone more suited to today's musical scenes and optimized for highly-effective performance on a wooden keyboard can also be produced.
