4 NU1 Owner’s Manual

Thank you for choosing the Yamaha Hybrid Piano.

In order to make the most of the performance potential and features of the instrument,

please read the manuals thoroughly,

and keep them in a handy place for later reference.

This instrument, which combines the priceless value of an acoustic piano and versatile digital tech-

nology that provides exceptional flexibility to performers, is a true hybrid piano.

Main Features

Authentic acoustic piano touch with special upright piano action

Featuring a specially designed mechanism in which the keyboard action and the hammer workings real-

istically reproduce those of an acoustic piano, this instrument provides a realistic touch response that is

extraordinarily similar to an upright piano.

CFX Sampling technology

Sophisticated sampling using the latest technology was used to capture the luxurious sounds of

Yamaha’s flagship CFX, a full-sized concert grand piano. The powerful bass and bright, penetrating

midrange sound of the original CFX are reproduced faithfully, and give a particularly natural and well-

balanced overall piano sound.

Best Condition without Tuning

Unlike acoustic pianos, this instrument does not need to be tuned. It always stays perfectly in tune even

after long-time use.

Flexible Volume Control

This instrument gives you full control over the instrument volume, letting you adjust the level just as

desired. Also, you can play or listen in total privacy through one or two pairs of headphones.

Audio Playing and Recording from a USB Flash Memory

Audio files (.wav) saved to a USB flash memory can be played back on the instrument. Moreover, since

you can record your performance as audio data to a USB flash memory device, it is possible to listen to

your performance on portable music players, with the data transferred by computer.

PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-

circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators. Also,

do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, or place heavy objects on

it.

• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage

is printed on the name plate of the instrument.

• Use only the supplied power cord/plug.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have

accumulated on it.

• This instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not open the instrument

or attempt to disassemble or modify the internal components in any way. If it

should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it

inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions,

place on it any containers (such as vases, bottles or glasses) containing liquids

which might spill into any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into the

instrument, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC

outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.

A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.

• When one of the following problems occur, immediately turn off the power switch

and disconnect the electric plug from the outlet. Then have the device inspected

by Yamaha service personnel.

• The power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged.

• It emits unusual smells or smoke.

• Some object has been dropped into the instrument.

• There is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the

instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing

so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the

plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for

extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

• Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly process.

Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might result in damage

to the instrument or even injury.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.

• When transporting or moving the instrument, always use two or more people.

Attempting to lift the instrument by yourself may damage your back, result in

other injury, or cause damage to the instrument itself.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to prevent damage to

the cables or injury to anyone who might trip over them.

• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily

accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power

switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is

turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum level. When

you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power cord

from the wall AC outlet.

• Though the wooden parts of this instrument have been designed and produced

with care concerning the environment and human health, in some rare instances

customers may sense an unusual odor or develop irritation in the eyes, due to the

coating material and adhesive.

To avoid this, we recommend that you observe the following:

1. Specially ventilate the room for several days after unpacking and installing this

instrument, since it has been packed in airtight conditions in order to maintain

quality during transportation.

2. If the room housing the instrument is small, continue to ventilate it normally,

either daily or periodically.

3. If you have left the instrument in a closed room for a long time under high

temperature, ventilate the room, then lower the temperature if possible, before

using the instrument.

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the

power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components,

set all volume levels to minimum.

• Be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and

gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired

listening level.

• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the fallboard or instrument. Also

take care that the fallboard does not pinch your finger.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the

fallboard, panel or keyboard. This could cause physical injury to you or others,

damage to the instrument or other property, or operational failure.

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not

use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of time at a

high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss.

If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

• Do not place the bench in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.

• Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or stepladder

or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury.

• Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the

possibility of accident or injury.

• If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten them

periodically using the included tool.

• Keep special watch over any small children so that they don’t fall off the rear of the

bench. Since the bench does not have a backrest, unsupervised use may result in

accident or injury.

1 Set up the power supply.

1-1 On the bottom surface (page 8), insert the power cord plug into the [AC IN] connector.

WARNING

Make sure your instrument is rated for the AC voltage supplied in the area in which it is to be used. (The voltage

rating appears on the name plate on the bottom panel). Connecting the unit to an inappropriate AC supply can

seriously damage the internal circuitry and may even pose a shock hazard!

1-2 Insert the plug on the other end of the power cord to a standard AC outlet.

WARNING

• Use only the AC power cord supplied with the instrument. If the supplied

power cord is lost or damaged and needs to be replaced, contact your Yamaha

dealer. The use of an inappropriate replacement can pose a fire and shock haz-

ard!

• The type of AC power cord provided with the instrument may be different

depending on the country in which the instrument was purchased. (In some

areas a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin configuration of the AC

wall outlets in your area.) Do NOT modify the plug provided with the instru-

ment. If the plug does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qual-

ified electrician.

2 With both hands, hold the hand grip, then lift and

open the fallboard.

CAUTION

• Hold the fallboard with both hands when opening or closing it. Do not

release it until it is fully opened or closed. Be careful to avoid catching

fingers (yours or others, especially children’s) between the fallboard

and the unit.

Playing the Keyboard

NU1 Owner’s Manual 11

The instrument has three pedals that produce a range of expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on

an acoustic piano.

Damper Pedal (Right)

Pressing this pedal will sustain notes longer. Releasing this pedal immediately stops

(damps) any sustained notes. A “half-pedal” function of this pedal creates partial sus-

tain effects, depending on how far down you press the pedal.

 Half-pedal function

This function allows the sustain length to vary depending on how far the pedal is

pressed. The farther you press the pedal, the more the sound sustains. For example, if

you press the damper pedal and all notes you are playing sound a bit murky and loud

with too much sustain, you can release the pedal half way to subdue the sustain (murk-

iness).

 To set the Half Pedal Point:

While holding down [PIANO/VOICE], press one of the A#5–E6 keys. This operation

sets the degree to which pressing the damper pedal applies the half-pedal effect. The

smaller the value, the shallower the half-pedal point. The larger the value, the deeper

the half-pedal point.

Setting range: -2 (A#5) – 0 (C6) – 4 (E6)

Default Setting: 0

Sostenuto Pedal (Center)

Pressing this pedal while holding the notes will sustain the pressed notes (as if the

damper pedal had been pressed), but all subsequently played notes will not be sus-

tained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while the other notes are

played “staccato.”

Soft Pedal (Left)

Pressing this pedal will reduce the volume and slightly change the timbre of the notes.

The notes played before this pedal is pressed are not affected.

Using the Pedals

GP Responsive Damper Pedal

This special pedal has been designed to provide enhanced tactile response and, when

pressed, is much closer in feel to the pedal of an actual grand piano. It makes it easier

to physically experience the half-pedal point and more easily apply the half-pedal

effect than other pedals.

If you press and hold the

damper pedal here, all the

notes shown will be sus-

tained.

A#5

If you press and hold the soste-

nuto pedal here, only the notes

held at this timing will be sus-

tained.

Playing the Keyboard

12 NU1 Owner’s Manual

Since this instrument is equipped with two [PHONES]

jacks, you can connect two sets of standard stereo head-

phones. If you are using only one set of headphones,

insert a plug into either jack, shutting off the speakers.

CAUTION

Avoid listening to the instrument at a high volume level

through headphones for a long period of time, to prevent

hearing damage.

This function automatically adjusts and controls the sound quality according to the overall volume of the instrument.

Even when the volume is low, it permits both low sounds and high sounds to be clearly heard. Note that the I.A. Con-

trol is effective only from the sound output of the instrument speakers.

 To turn on/off the I.A. Control:

While holding down [FUNCTION], press the C0 key repeatedly (as necessary).

Default setting: On

 To adjust the I.A. Control Depth:

While holding down [FUNCTION], press one of the keys between A0–D#1.

Setting range: -3 (A0) – 0 (C1) – 3 (D#1)

Default setting: 0 (C1)

The higher the value, the more clearly that low and high sounds are heard at lower volume levels.

Transposing the Pitch in semitones

You can shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitones to facilitate playing in difficult key signatures

and match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if “+5” is selected,

playing the key C produces a pitch of F, letting you play a song of F major as though it were in C major.

 To transpose the pitch down:

While holding down [FUNCTION], press a key between F#2 (-6) and B2 (-1).

 To transpose the pitch up:

While holding down [FUNCTION], press a key between C#3 (+1) and F#3 (+6).

 To restore the original pitch:

While holding down [FUNCTION], press the C3 key.

The specified value is shown on the display.

Fine tuning the Pitch

You can fine-tune the pitch of the entire instrument. This function is useful when you play this instrument along with

other instruments or recorded music.

During the operation described below, you can check the Pitch

value shown on the display.

 To tune up (in roughly 0.2Hz steps):

While holding down [FUNCTION], press [+]. Holding down

both buttons shows the current pitch setting (Hz).

 To tune down (in roughly 0.2Hz steps):

While holding down [FUNCTION], press [-]. Holding down both buttons shows the

current pitch setting (Hz).

 To restore standard pitch:

While holding down [FUNCTION], press [+] and [-] simultaneously. Holding down

all three buttons shows the current pitch setting (Hz).

Setting the Scale Tuning

You can select various scales for the instrument. Equal Temperament is the most common contemporary piano tuning

scale. However, history has known numerous other scales, many of which serve as the basis for certain genres of

music. This feature lets you experience the tunings of these genres.

Selecting a Scale

While holding down [FUNCTION], press one of the C5–F#5 keys. Holding down

both controls shows the current value on the display.

Selecting the Base Note

While holding down [FUNCTION], press one of the C4–B4 keys. Holding down both

controls shows the current value on the display.

Default setting: 1 (Equal)

NOTE

The scale is restored to the default setting

when the power is turned off.

Display Key Scale Description

C5 Equal

The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve

parts, with each half-step evenly spaced in pitch. This is the

most commonly used tuning in music today.

C#5 Pure Major These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of

each scale, especially for triad chords (root, third, fifth). You can

hear this best in actual vocal harmonies — such as choirs and

a cappella singing.

D5 Pure Minor

D#5 Pythagorean

This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and

is created from a series of perfect fifths, which are collapsed

into a single octave. The 3rd in this tuning are slightly unstable,

but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some leads.

E5 Mean-Tone

This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean

scale, by making the major third interval more “in tune.” It was

especially popular from the 16th century to the 18th century.

Handel, among others, used this scale.

F5 Werckmeister

This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirn-

berger systems, which were themselves improvements on the

mean-tone and Pythagorean scales. The main feature of this

scale is that each key has its own unique character. The scale

was used extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven,

and even now it is often used when performing period music on

the harpsichord.

Playing Back Songs

This instrument can play back Songs contained in internal memory or USB memory connected to the [USB TO

DEVICE] terminal. There are two kinds of Songs that can be played back: MIDI Songs and Audio Songs.

MIDI Songs and Audio Songs

A MIDI Song contains data of your keyboard performance (such as which keys you played and how hard you played

them), and is not a recording of the actual sound itself. The performance information refers to which keys are played,

at what timing, and at what strength—just as in a musical score. Based on the recorded performance information, the

tone generator (of the digital piano, etc.) outputs the corresponding sound. A MIDI Song uses a small amount of data

capacity in comparison to audio recording.

An Audio Song is a recording of the performed sound itself. This data is recorded in the same way as that used in

recording cassette tapes, or with voice recorders, etc. This data can be played with a portable music player, etc.,

allowing you to easily let other people hear your performance.

Songs compatible with this instrument

Song Category List

* Shown only when USB flash memory is connected.

** When data does not exist, the song number is not displayed.

Song data formats that can be played

 SMF (Standard MIDI File) Formats 0 and 1

One of the most common and widely compatible MIDI formats used for storing

sequence data. MIDI Songs recorded in this instrument are saved as SMF Format 0.

 WAV format (.wav)

Audio file format commonly used by computers. This instrument can play 44.1kHz/

16bit stereo WAV files. Audio Songs recorded on this instrument are saved in this for-

mat.

User Songs and External Songs

Songs recorded by this instrument are

called “User Songs” while Songs created in

other ways or on other instruments are

called “External Songs.” In USB flash

memory, Songs in the USER FILES folder

are handled as User Songs while Songs in

a location other than the USER FILES folder

are handled as External Songs. When you

record a Song to USB flash memory, a

USER FILES folder is created automatically

and the resulting User Song will be saved

in this folder.
