The Yamaha Arius YDP-S35 features an improved sound engine of the flagship Yamaha CFX Concert Grand piano and renowned GHS keyboard action, bringing the most important elements of a piano together—touch and tone—in perfect harmony.

The CFX Premium Grand Piano Voice recreates the power and tone of the flagship CFX concert grand piano from Yamaha. GHS weighted action is heavier in the low keys and lighter in the high keys, just like an acoustic piano. Three piano-style pedals offer authentic sustain, sostenuto and soft pedal performance. Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) allows for vivid and richly varied expression to reflect the limitless number of factors that create the sound of a concert grand piano. Stereophonic Optimizer adjusts the spatial distribution of sound in the listener's headphones, creating the sensation that sound is coming directly from the piano, rather than from the headphones. Key-off samples deliver the delicate change in sound the instant the damper falls back to the string. Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC) automatically adjusts the EQ of the built-in stereo speaker system to the player's setting, ensuring the richest tone at any volume level. Half-damper pedal control allows for continuously increasing amounts of sustain as the pedal is depressed.

The Smart Pianist app not only gives you full control over your piano's major functions, but also analyzes your favorite songs right out of your music library using chord tracker technology. The USB TO HOST port allows players to connect to and interact with a wide variety of educational, creative and entertaining musical applications on a computer or mobile device.
