Yamaha | CP Series OS v1.6 Sound Demo

The new update to OS v1.6 adds new modes to the already impressive feature set of Yamaha CP88 and CP73. The three functions grant more versatility, especially for synth lead purposes. It is now possible to switch between monophonic and polyphonic operations, allowing for different play styles for lead sounds. With the second new option “Portamento”, users can adjust the time of “glide” between two sounds, giving it a completely different feel and aesthetic. Finally, “Pan” enables the positioning of sounds in the stereo spectrum. Employing these new functions allows users to customize the behaviour of sounds to optimize them for the application at hand.

thank for not forgetting the cp series

[calebitilley]

This is great to see. I had thought Yamaha had left us hanging on CP updates, so this gives me hope. Thanks!

[airgum]

Please add a "tap" function to adjust the tempo/effects! We've been waiting for this for years :)

[hinkelbeatz]

Finally! Super excited, thank you Yamaha!

Still happy with the 2010 KAWAI MP10

It's still absolutely phenomenal

[dimmarproductions]

Thanks for the update! The cp with the new features comes closer to a complete instrument. The cutoff and resonance filters in the three sections for shaping the tone of sounds are unfortunately still missing.

Nice.Now if only they could give me the organ update as in the YC series would be perfect

[_classic_rob_]

I didn't know that CP didn't already come with these options. Glad I got YC instead

Thanks for the Update. Ist there any possability to control an internal Sound only by an external midi Keyboard?

My plan:
Having e.g. an Piano on the Left Side of the cp88, a e Piano on the right Side of the split point and a synth on my external midi device.

Thanks :)

2.5 years and this is all they could've done? Come on...

[paulallenMacca]

It was well over due, but no new sounds.

[paulallenMacca]

I thought Yamaha would have added more New Piano Sounds, is OS v1.6 the very Latest Firmware Update.

[thenetworkmystery]

We need the new CFX sound that's on the Montage M v2.0.

[danmasterson]

a bit of a catch-update. disappointed not to see the CP70 voice come to the CP line tbh

[arnaudchabo]

Next update, could you put something else than this cheap unreliable keybed in the CP73 ? Thks..

[massissousa]

É uma pena que aftertouch não dá para implementar via firmware

[raincells]

Really good improvements but way over due.

[chrisgibbons]

Disappointing. These may very well be great new features, but after all the waiting Yamaha had to know that CP owners were hoping for more from the next update. Even just a couple key new sounds would have gone a long way towards making us feel less forgotten. A missed opportunity, Yamaha.
