New Yamaha NU1XA

Hello, A scoop by @ClothEaredNincompoop on PW: Press release: https://www.yamaha.com/en/news_release/2023/23091301/ Some short promo videos on YouTube (more might come): https://www.youtube.com/@yamahaglobal/videos "There's something new regarding the key/hammer sensors: Originally Posted by https://www.yamaha.com/en/news_release/2023/23091301/ Dual sensors detect key and hammer movement separately Yamaha's Articulation Sensor System is used to detect key and hammer movements, offering more accurate interpretation of subtle musical expression during performance. New hammer sensors have been added to more accurately detect timing and strength of hammers hitting the strings. Sensors under the keys accurately determine the stopping point of sounds and other nuances of performance, ensuring that even the most subtle musical expression is preserved."

With all due respect, sir, it has already been said that N1X is almost perfect, yet not quite perfect, so that alone necessitates some ‘changes’!

Unlike Roland, Yamaha doesn’t simply rehash old tech by renaming it, “SuperDuper, PureAcousticBS, PianoUnreality,” etc… and if Yamaha does release ‘a sequel’, it usually turns out better than the original, and their current sensor-tech-II will surely surpass the original; not to mention, the new sound engine (RGE-II), speaker reconfiguration, and nice-and-modern, quasi-touch screen.

So yes, I maintain that it would be a mistake not to update the N1/3X now, for if they don’t, it will backfire (making these instruments look obsolete).

David has already sold his elephant, and I have it from a reliable source that CG is listing his as we speak, “selling barely played N1X….!”

How dare you question my authoritah!

Sir, I implore you to reconsider your position and don't further degrade the situation thus making our peace negotiations untenable.

Uhhhh … they most definitely do.

Perhaps I should soften my stance in the name of peace!😇

$7400 at my local dealer, have to wait for reviews to see how good it is.

I'm setting up my sports bet section here. Can place bets now. The new P-series. Not many sleeps to go now.

I’m betting my van on a new P-S700 to be released “soon.”

Pete14 oh geez pete. You're going to clean out my sports bet finances.

With the new RFID hammer sensor for upright pianos already present in the NU1XA it is clear that changes are coming and there will probably be a new hammer sensor for grand pianos with this technology. Also all SH3 uprights are being sold without a hammer sensor! Silent buyers please wait for Yamaha to clear up this mess.

The AvantGrand series seems the ideal series to test this kind of novelty as there is no alternative to sound production as in the true hybrids: Silent and TransAcoustic . For these series the sensors are not critical, buyers still have a full acoustic piano in their home. The problem of the loud note has been associated with the NU1 and NU1X when they share it with all Yamaha Silent SH2's and I think it is because in the Silent upright acoustics it goes more unnoticed as the digital is a secondary system.

…….another “bomb” soon to drop on Roland…..stay tuned for more……..🔮🔮

QuasiUnaFantasia

Isn't it about three years since Yamaha launched the CLP7xxx series? Maybe the next one is actually due now?

That might ruffle some feathers over at Roland, but it don't think any hybrid piano will do that, since they are not active in that market themselves.

Pete14

Please try again later……I’m not allowed to say more at the moment, but rest assured, we appreciate your patience!

I hope it will be N1XA related 😅 (I have been waiting for it for 12 months already)

Haha yes. Still i 2023 they will leave there its 5 button 10x50pixel screen and panel, which my grandma used in her teen. And will leave those 6 sounds.

Khuja Wangtishvili

Sure. Even if tbh, I am perfectly fine with the N1X the way it is. It's just that I don't wan't to see the value of my piano divided by 2 the day following the release of the next model.

Imagine if Chopin had a Kawai with a touch screen. What music he would have composed! But he was left with a one-sound piano with no buttons and no screen 😭

MacMacMac

I guess KW is a knobs and buttons man.
For me those aren't important criteria for a piano. But for a woman ... ? 😁

Pete14

CyberGene Imagine if Chopin had a Kawai with a touch screen……

Surely, you meant to say a Yamaha?

QuasiUnaFantasia

Pete14 That is an exciting question to ponder. My guess is that given a Yamaha digital piano (and the necessary powerplant to fuel it), Chopin would only have written music for the violin.

He would throw out that piano-like-shaped cymbals through the window.
