Logos

"XG" greatly expands "GM System Level 1" by defining the ways in which voices are expanded or edited and the structure and type of effects.

"GM System Level 2" is a standard specification that enhances the original "GM System Level 1" and improves song data compatibility. It provides for increased polyphony, greater voice selection, expanded voice parameters, and integrated effect processing. Tone generators and song data that meet the "GM System Level 2" specifications bear this GM2 logo.

GS was developed by the Roland Corporation. In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major enhancement of the GM specifically to provide more Voices and Drum kits and their variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects.

Tuning
Unlike an acoustic piano, the instrument does not need to be tuned. It always stays perfectly in tune.

Transporting
If you move to another location, you can transport the instrument along with your other belongings. You can move the unit as it is (assembled) or you can disassemble the unit.
Transport the keyboard horizontally. Do not lean it up against a wall or stand it up on its side. Do not subject the instrument to excessive vibration or shock. When transporting the assembled instrument, make sure all screws are properly tightened and have not been loosened by moving the instrument.



Main Features

Stylish and sophisticated digital piano
The instrument combines true piano sound in a modern, attractive cabinet that evokes the beauty of a real acoustic grand piano-adding sophistication and musical expressiveness to your living space.

NW (Natural Wood) with synthetic ivory keytops
This type of keyboard features the feel of real ivory. The special Natural Wood keyboard also uses real-wood white keys. The key surface is soft and slightly porous, giving the keys added grip and a natural friction that lets you play easily. The authentic touch and feel of the keys goes far beyond existing electronic keyboards, it makes you feel as if you're playing a real grand piano. This specially crafted keyboard lets you use techniques only possible on grand pianos, such as playing the same note successively and having the sounds blend smoothly even without use of the damper pedal, or playing the same key quickly and having perfect articulation without the sound cutting off unnaturally.

Moving Key
The H11 features an impressive moving keyboard-with the Moving Key function. Whatever songs you play back on the instrument, including the included 50 piano preset songs (Classic and Jazz), songs saved to USB flash memory, or songs from the Internet using the streaming service, you can enjoy the performance visually as well as aurally. This makes the H11 a wonderful instrument to have at home, as well as an eye-catching, ear-catching instrument for a restaurant, store or any public space.

AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling
The H11 offers unmatched sonic realism as well as Yamaha's original AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling tone-generation technology for rich, authentic voices. The GRAND PIANO 1 and 2 voices are completely constructed from samples painstakingly recorded from a full concert grand piano. The Grand Piano 1 voice features three velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sampling), special "Sustain Sampling" that samples the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano's soundboard and strings when the damper pedal is pressed, and "Keyoff Samples" that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are released. These sophisticated features and advanced technologies ensure that the instrument sounds and plays virtually the same as an actual acoustic piano.

Internet Direct Connection (IDC)
Yamaha provides a special streaming service on its website that enables you to automatically play back a wide variety of songs (song data) in various musical genres as background music directly on your instrument.
