INTRODUCTION

The Yamaha NU1XAPWH AvantGrand Hybrid Piano in Polished White combines the genuine mechanical playing experience of an acoustic upright piano with Yamaha’s advanced digital sound, sensing, recording and connectivity technologies.

Unlike a conventional digital piano action designed to simulate an acoustic mechanism, the NU1XA uses a specialised upright piano action together with Yamaha’s sophisticated Articulation Sensor System.

Both key and hammer movement are continuously detected using non-contact electromagnetic induction sensors, allowing the instrument to capture subtle differences in the way the pianist interacts with the real mechanical action.

This makes the NU1XA fundamentally different from a conventional Clavinova.

At the heart of its sound are two world-class concert grands:

• Yamaha CFX

• Bösendorfer Imperial

Both benefit from Yamaha’s Spatial Acoustic Sampling, dedicated binaural sampling, Virtual Resonance Modeling and Grand Expression Modeling.

The NU1XA also features GrandTouch pedals with GP Response Damper, a powerful (40W + 45W) × 2 amplification system, Bluetooth Audio and MIDI, 16-track MIDI recording, WAV audio recording and Smart Pianist compatibility.

All of this is housed within an elegant, remarkably space-efficient upright-style cabinet finished in premium Polished White.

For pianists who want a genuine acoustic upright action but also value headphone practice, recording, volume control and modern digital connectivity, the NU1XAPWH offers a compelling bridge between the acoustic and digital piano worlds.

A REAL UPRIGHT PIANO ACTION

The defining feature of the NU1XA is its:

Specialised Upright Piano Action.

This is what separates an AvantGrand hybrid piano from a conventional digital piano.

Rather than using a digital-piano keyboard mechanism designed to imitate the behaviour of an acoustic action, the NU1XA incorporates a genuine mechanical upright-piano-style action.

As you play, the keys physically operate the action and hammers.

There are no acoustic strings for those hammers to strike. Instead, sophisticated sensors detect the movement of the mechanism and Yamaha's digital tone-generation system creates the sound.

The result combines:

real mechanical piano interaction

with

digital sound generation.

For pianists whose priority is authentic acoustic-style touch, this distinction is enormously important.

ARTICULATION SENSOR SYSTEM

The NU1XA uses Yamaha’s advanced:

Articulation Sensor System.

The system monitors both:

• Key movement

• Hammer movement

using non-contact sensors.

This allows the instrument to analyse subtle changes in how the pianist interacts with the mechanical action.

NON-CONTACT ELECTROMAGNETIC SENSORS

Both the key and hammer sensors use:

Non-contact continuous detection electromagnetic inductive technology.

Because sensing is non-contact, the system can monitor movement without physically interfering with the natural operation of the action.

This is crucial.

The pianist is able to interact naturally with the mechanical upright action while the digital system independently detects what is happening.

EXPRESSIVE REPEATED NOTES

The Articulation Sensor System is designed to recognise detailed key and hammer movement, including the nuanced behaviour involved in repeated notes.

This helps the NU1XA translate advanced playing techniques more naturally than would be possible from simple key-on/key-off detection.

KEY SURFACES

The NU1XA uses:

Acrylic resin white key surfaces

and:

Phenolic resin black key surfaces.

These materials are used alongside the genuine mechanical upright-style action to provide a premium tactile playing experience.

TOUCH SENSITIVITY

The response of the digital sound engine can be adjusted through:

• Hard 2

• Hard 1

• Medium

• Soft 1

• Soft 2

• Fixed

This allows the relationship between playing velocity and generated sound to be adapted to the pianist.

YAMAHA CFX CONCERT GRAND

The NU1XA features Yamaha’s flagship:

CFX Concert Grand.

The CFX is Yamaha’s premier concert grand piano, known for its clarity, tonal colour, projection and powerful dynamic range.

Its sound provides one of the two principal acoustic-piano characters within the NU1XA.

BÖSENDORFER IMPERIAL

Alongside the CFX is the:

Bösendorfer Imperial.

Bösendorfer is Yamaha’s historic Viennese piano marque.

The Imperial provides a distinctly different piano character, with a rich, warm tonal identity that contrasts beautifully with the Yamaha CFX.

This gives the player two genuine concert-grand personalities within the same instrument.

SPATIAL ACOUSTIC SAMPLING

The NU1XA uses Yamaha’s:

Spatial Acoustic Sampling

for the Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial.

The objective is to reproduce not merely the tone of these concert grands but the spatial character of the instrument as experienced by the pianist.

This helps give the NU1XA a more dimensional and convincing piano presentation.

BINAURAL SAMPLING

Both headline concert grand Voices benefit from:

Binaural Sampling.

This applies to:

• Yamaha CFX Grand

• Bösendorfer Imperial

When using headphones, binaural sampling creates a spatial presentation designed to make the sound appear to originate naturally around the pianist rather than simply from inside the headphones.

For musicians who practise privately for long periods, this can make headphone playing considerably more immersive.

VIRTUAL RESONANCE MODELING – VRM

An acoustic piano is far more than individual strings producing isolated notes.

Strings, soundboard, cabinet and other components interact continuously.

Yamaha’s:

Virtual Resonance Modeling – VRM

recreates these complex sympathetic interactions digitally.

The resulting sound responds dynamically according to factors such as:

• Notes being played

• Notes already sounding

• Pedal position

• Harmonic relationships

• Playing technique

This helps the instrument behave more organically as a complete piano.

GRAND EXPRESSION MODELING

Grand Expression Modeling focuses on the relationship between the pianist’s physical input and the resulting tone.

Subtle differences in playing technique can therefore produce corresponding differences in expression.

Combined with the NU1XA’s real mechanical upright action and sophisticated sensing system, this helps translate the pianist’s physical performance into a more detailed musical result.

KEY-OFF SAMPLES

Key-Off Samples recreate the subtle tonal behaviour that occurs when notes are released.

These small details contribute to the overall realism of the acoustic-piano experience.

SMOOTH RELEASE

Smooth Release helps reproduce the tonal changes associated with different note-release behaviour.

Together with VRM and Grand Expression Modeling, this forms part of Yamaha’s wider approach to modelling the complete behaviour of an acoustic piano rather than simply reproducing recorded note attacks.

256-NOTE POLYPHONY

The NU1XA provides:

256-note maximum polyphony.

This gives substantial capacity for:

• Complex classical repertoire

• Sustained passages

• Extensive damper-pedal use

• Layered Voices

• MIDI playback

28 VOICES

The NU1XA provides:

28 preset Voices.

Acoustic piano remains firmly at the centre of the instrument, but the additional sounds expand its versatility for practice, performance and creative playing.

GRANDTOUCH PEDALS

The NU1XA uses Yamaha’s:

GrandTouch pedals.

Three pedals provide:

• Damper

• Sostenuto

• Soft

The damper supports half-pedalling.

GP RESPONSE DAMPER

The damper pedal incorporates:

GP Response Damper.

On an acoustic grand piano, the resistance of the damper pedal changes through its travel as the dampers begin lifting.

GP Response Damper is designed to recreate this changing resistance.

The result gives the pianist a more nuanced physical pedal response for developing and controlling sophisticated pedalling technique.

POWERFUL SPEAKER SYSTEM

The NU1XA incorporates a substantial built-in amplification system.

Amplification is:

(40W + 45W) × 2

giving:

170 watts total rated amplifier output.

The speaker configuration is:

(16cm + 2.5cm dome with Bidirectional Horn) × 2.

This provides the instrument with the power and dynamic range required for convincing acoustic-piano reproduction in the room.

BIDIRECTIONAL HORNS

The high-frequency drivers incorporate:

Bidirectional Horns.

These help distribute the sound naturally through the instrument and into the room rather than creating an obviously localised loudspeaker effect.

INTELLIGENT ACOUSTIC CONTROL

Intelligent Acoustic Control – IAC helps maintain a balanced sound when playing at reduced volume.

This is particularly useful for home practice, where full acoustic output may not always be appropriate.

STEREOPHONIC OPTIMIZER

For suitable Voices used with headphones, Stereophonic Optimizer helps create a more natural spatial presentation.

Combined with the dedicated binaural CFX and Bösendorfer Voices, the NU1XA provides a highly sophisticated private-practice experience.

16-TRACK MIDI RECORDING

The NU1XA provides a substantial onboard MIDI recording system.

It can store up to:

250 Songs

with up to:

16 tracks

per recording.

Approximate capacity is:

500KB per Song.

This makes the recorder useful for:

• Practice

• Self-assessment

• Composition

• Multi-part arrangements

• Teaching

• Performance development

WAV AUDIO RECORDING

The NU1XA can also record and play:

WAV audio at 44.1kHz / 16-bit stereo.

Maximum recording time is approximately:

80 minutes per Song.

This creates an actual audio recording of the performance rather than storing only MIDI performance data.

BUILT-IN SONG LIBRARY

The NU1XA provides an extensive preset song library including:

• 50 Classical Music Masterpieces

• 28 Voice Demo Songs

• 303 Lesson Songs

This provides substantial built-in material for study, demonstration and practice.

BLUETOOTH AUDIO

The NU1XA supports:

Bluetooth Audio

where available in the region.

This allows compatible smart devices to stream music wirelessly through the piano’s speaker system.

Useful applications include:

• Playing along with recordings

• General music playback

BLUETOOTH MIDI

The NU1XA also supports:

Bluetooth MIDI

where available.

This allows compatible wireless communication with supported music applications and smart devices.

SMART PIANIST

The NU1XA is designed for integration with Yamaha’s:

Smart Pianist

app on compatible devices.

Smart Pianist can provide convenient graphical access to compatible piano functions and settings.

CONNECTIVITY

The NU1XA provides extensive connectivity including:

• 2 × standard stereo headphone outputs

• MIDI IN

• MIDI OUT

• AUX IN stereo mini jack

• AUX OUT L/L+R and R

• USB TO DEVICE

• USB TO HOST

• Bluetooth MIDI

This makes the NU1XA suitable for home practice, teaching and recording environments.

SOFT-CLOSE FALLBOARD

The cabinet includes a:

Soft-Close Fallboard.

This allows the keyboard cover to close in a more controlled manner and contributes to the premium feel of the instrument.

COMPACT HYBRID DESIGN

Despite containing a genuine mechanical upright-style action, the NU1XA has a remarkably compact cabinet depth of approximately:

462mm.

This makes it significantly easier to accommodate than many traditional acoustic upright pianos while retaining the mechanical playing experience that makes the AvantGrand concept distinctive.

NU1XA VS A CONVENTIONAL DIGITAL PIANO

This is one of the most important distinctions to understand.

A conventional digital piano uses a purpose-designed digital keyboard mechanism intended to recreate aspects of acoustic-piano feel.

The NU1XA instead uses:

A specialised mechanical upright piano action.

The key operates a real action and hammer mechanism, while sensors monitor what happens and trigger Yamaha’s digital sound engine.

This means the NU1XA combines:

Acoustic mechanical action

with:

Digital sound technology.

That is why Yamaha categorises it as an:

AvantGrand hybrid piano.

NU1XA VS CLP-895GP

Both are premium Yamaha digital instruments, but their design philosophies are very different.
