NASHVILLE, TN—Yamaha Corporation of America, Digital Musical Instruments, will debut the P90 Digital Piano at Summer NAMM 2003.

The 88-key P90 features triple Dynamic Stereo Sampling (DSS), plus special sustain and note-off samples which reproduce an incredibly natural and accurate piano timbre-the same piano sound found on the P250 Digital Stage Piano. Exclusive Graded Hammer action emulates the touch, feel and response of an acoustic grand piano, where the weight or resistance of the key becomes gradually heavier from the top to bottom registers.

The P90 contains a generous 64 notes of polyphony and 22 MB, a selection of 24 of the best voices available today, and eight integrated digital effects, including Yamaha's acclaimed reverb technology. Two voices may be played simultaneously in two separated keyboard ranges using Split mode, and combined in unison or layered using Dual mode.

Additional features include a 2-track sequencer and dual headphone jacks. Connections include MIDI IN/OUT/THRU and an integrated TO HOST interface.

"The P90 is an extremely well-balanced instrument," states Michael Martin, marketing director, Digital Musical Instruments. "The combination of features makes the P90 ideal as a teaching tool, a master performance keyboard, or a controller keyboard for computer-based music production."

Accessories include a power adaptor, music rest and sustain pedal. The P90 is currently available.
