YAMAHA N1X AvantGrand

The elegant and compact AvantGrand hybrid digital piano breaks convention and breaks down the boundaries between acoustic and digital instruments. The N1X combines traditional sensibility with modern practicality, resulting in an intuitive instrument with incredibly natural piano mechanics and state-of-the-art technologies that have been developed based on new trends and standards. The instrument is suitable for conservatory players and advanced players who demand the quality and natural sound of an acoustic piano.

The natural feel of real piano mechanics
The N1X delivers an authentic playing experience that is virtually indistinguishable from an acoustic piano. With the same natural wood keyboard found on the finest Yamaha pianos, the N1X offers a realistic playing feel that is sure to inspire. With AvantGrand playing, you have the sounds of two legendary concert grand pianos, the Yamaha CFX and the Bösendorfer Imperial. Whether you prefer the lively and expansive sound palette of the CFX or the warmth and richness of the Imperial's Viennese sound, switching between the two is simple. You can then enrich your chosen sound with natural reverb and five types of brillance effect that simulate the echo of large concert halls. The damper pedal also has a very authentic feel, allowing you to use the half-pedal technique as on a classical acoustic piano, giving you more control over sustain and reverb. You'll also get a great playing experience when you plug in your headphones thanks to advanced binaural technology. This technology uses piano samples recorded with special microphones that capture placement data and other nuances discernible to the human ear. The resulting sound is so natural, so enveloping, you'll soon forget you're actually using headphones.

Intelligent integration options
Hidden behind the simple control panel with its clear LCD display is a wealth of options for connecting and extending the functionality and integrating the instrument with other devices. The instrument can be directly connected to computers and mobile devices via USB, to audio and recording systems via audio cables, it also works as a Bluetooth receiver and can be interconnected with iOS apps via WiFi. The seductive elegance of the instrument fits into any space and will brighten up any home, classroom or concert hall.
