19 Care should be taken that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the

enclosure through any openings that may exist.

20 This product, either alone or in combination with an amplifier and headphones

or speaker/s, may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause per-

manent hearing loss. DO NOT operate for a long period of time at a high volume

level or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or

ringing in the ears, you should consult an audiologist. IMPORTANT: The louder

the sound, the shorter the time period before damage occurs.

21 Some Yamaha products may have benches and/or accessory mounting fixtures

that are either supplied as a part or the product or as optional accessories.

Some of these items are designed to be dealer assembled or installed. Please

make sure that benches are stable and any optional fixtures (where applicable)

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.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might

accidentally fall over.

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

prevent damage to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip

over them.

• When moving the instrument, be careful to avoid catching your

hands or feet on the instrument.

• Move the instrument slowly with extra care to keep the instrument

from falling over, or bumping against the surroundings. We

recommend that you consult a qualified carrier to transport or move

the instrument.

• 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.

• 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 or

opening on the main unit, fallboard, 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.

• Close the fallboard when the instrument is not in use. Hold the

fallboard with both hands when opening or closing it. Be careful to

avoid catching fingers (yours or others) between the fallboard and

the main unit.

• Do not go near the instrument during an earthquake. Strong shaking

during an earthquake could cause the instrument to move or tip

over, resulting in damage to the instrument or its parts, and possibly

causing injury.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status (power lamp is off), electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level.

When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

Features

• A real acoustic piano that lets you freely change the volume or Voice as you want

Yamaha’s innovative TransAcoustic™ technology lets you adjust the volume or change the Voices—without

affecting your performance at all, just as when playing an acoustic piano (TransAcoustic mode). The

instrument also features the Silent Piano™ mode in which you can play silently while listening to the sound

from the headphones.

You can take advantage of these functions and get more enjoyment with the piano, such as playing in a lower

volume to enjoy with people near you, or in silence to concentrate on practice, or playing with various Voices.

• Natural expressive feel possible only with an acoustic piano

In the TransAcoustic mode, TransAcoustic technology vibrates the entire soundboard and causes resonance of

the strings and the piano body allowing you to enjoy playing with an exceptionally natural acoustic feel.

Even in the Silent Piano mode, advanced technologies such as Binaural Sampling gives you the impression of

the sound as if it was actually emanating from the piano when listening through headphones.

• Realistic resonance enhances your performance

This instrument puts the sound of 20 luxurious, authentic Voices at your fingertips. These include Yamaha’s

flagship CFX piano—which delivers dynamic sound, from a brilliant high-range to powerful bass—and the

Bösendorfer* Imperial, a world-class piano renowned for its subtle and warm sound.

In the TransAcoustic mode, the resonance of the strings and the piano body lets you enjoy the rich ambience

even when playing with the built-in Voices.

* Bösendorfer is a subsidiary company of Yamaha.

• Real acoustic piano touch for maximum expressiveness

Naturally, since this is an actual acoustic piano, it is exceptionally expressive. Moreover, the sensors which

detect the movement of the keys are non-contact optical sensors, so they do not affect the playing touch. They

catch keystroke information precisely, enabling you to perform with rich nuance and extraordinarily subtle

expression.

• Elegant, integrated design

The control unit has been given a graceful design that unobtrusively blends with the piano itself. Moreover, the

simple controllers allow you to operate the instrument easily.

• Playback and recording functions for enjoying music anytime

You can record your performance to this instrument and a USB flash drive, and improve your performance by

listening back to the recording.

This instrument also features a Bluetooth audio function, which allows you to play along on this instrument

with audio from a Bluetooth-equipped device, and even record the audio as an audio Song.

Smart Device App “Smart Pianist”

The smart device app “Smart Pianist” (available as a free download) enables you to use the functions such

as selecting Voices, controlling the metronome intuitively with the visualized interface, or display the score

on your smart device.

For information about this app, access the following web page:

https://www.yamaha.com/kbdapps/

The connection wizard of the Smart Pianist helps you to connect this unit to your smart device properly. To

start connection wizard, tap [ ] (Menu) located upper left on the Smart Pianist screen to open the menu,

then tap “Instrument” followed by “Start Connection Wizard.”

2 Playing the TransAcoustic™ Piano

This instrument can be played as a normal acoustic piano, and you can also use the following three modes

depending on the situations. In these modes, you can use the various functions such as playing preset Voices

built into unit and recording your performances.

• TransAcoustic mode: You can play with the digital sound and hear it through resonance of the soundboard

of the piano by the TransAcoustic technology (page 18).

• Layer mode: You can play with the digital sound as well as the acoustic piano sound (page 19).

• Silent Piano mode: You can play with the sound muted and listen to the digital sound through the

headphones (page 20).

TransAcoustic technology

On acoustic pianos, as you play the keyboards, the hammers strike the strings and then the vibration is transmitted to the

soundboard to emit the sound. On the other hand, on this TransAcoustic piano, the tone generator sends audio signals to a

transducer that converts the signals to vibrations and transmits them to the soundboard. The sound resonating from the

soundboard is just like that on acoustic pianos. The TransAcoustic technology allows you to adjust the volume, while the

natural and rich resonance characteristic of acoustic pianos are maintained.

Playing as an acoustic piano

If you want to play as a normal acoustic piano, you do not need to turn on the power to the instrument.

• For upright pianos:

Turn the power off, and pull the silencing lever forward to return it to the back position, or press the center

pedal to slide it to the right, allowing you to play it as an acoustic piano.

• For grand pianos:

You can switch the instrument to play as an acoustic piano while the power is on. Pressing the [VOLUME]

control lights up the [Aco.] lamp and enables you to play as an acoustic piano. When the control is pressed,

the Voice is automatically set to “---” (Off).

Pressing the [VOLUME] control again switches the instrument to the TransAcoustic mode.

NOTE

If you select a Voice other than “---” (Off), both the [Aco.] and [TA] lamps light up indicating that the instrument is in the

Layer mode (page 19).

piano sound is emitted (page 17).

For grand pianos, press the [VOLUME] control to turn the [Aco.] lamp on (page 17), and then rotate the

[VOICE/VALUE] control to select a Voice other than “---” (Off; page 21).

NOTE

• This instrument is finely tuned before it is shipped. However, the pitch may gradually go out of tune, depending on

circumstances such as temperature and humidity. When you detect a difference between the pitch of the digital sound and

acoustic sound, tune the piano mechanism, or adjust the Master Tune parameter in the Function settings (page 41). For

tuning, consult a professional piano technician.

• The volume of the acoustic piano sound cannot be adjusted by using the [VOLUME] control.

• When the Voice is set to “---” (Off; page 21), you can play only the acoustic piano sound. The digital sound is not emitted.

 Reproducing a natural sound distance sensation (even when using

headphones)—Binaural Sampling and Stereophonic Optimizer

This instrument features two advanced technologies that allow you to enjoy exceptionally realistic, natural

sound, even though listening on headphones. These functions can be turned on or off as desired (page 44).

Binaural Sampling (CFX Grand Voice only)

Binaural Sampling is a method that uses two special microphones set at the ear position of a performer and

records the sound from a piano as it would actually be heard. Listening to the sound with this effect through

headphones gives the impression of being immersed in the sound, as if it was actually emanating from the

piano. When the CFX Grand Voice is selected, binaural sampled sound is produced.

Stereophonic Optimizer (Piano Voices other than CFX Grand)

Stereophonic Optimizer is an effect which reproduces the natural sound distance, like with the sound of

Binaural Sampling, even though you are listening to it on headphones. When one of the Piano Voices other

than CFX Grand (page 64) is selected, the Stereophonic Optimizer is enabled.

• Adjusting the Playback Tempo

You can change the tempo of MIDI Song or the speed of Audio Song during playback. It can

be adjusted in the same operation as the metronome tempo. For details, refer to page 34.

MIDI Songs: The tempo can be adjusted from 5 to 500 beats per minutes. It can also be

adjusted while the Song is paused. When the Song stops, it reset to the default setting.

Audio Songs: Compared to an original speed of 100%, it can be adjusted over the range of

75% – 125%. The setting value is maintained until another Song is selected.

NOTE

• For MIDI Songs having tempo changes in the middle of the Song, changing the tempo alters entire tempo relatively. For

example, in a Song that is set to a tempo of 100 at the start and changes midway during the Song to 120, changing the

starting tempo to 110 (10% faster) will result in a midway tempo of 132 (10% faster).

• When the MIDI Song tempo is changed, the metronome tempo is also changed to the same tempo. The Audio Song

speed does not affect the metronome tempo.

• While the Audio Song is paused and the metronome is played back, this operation changes only the metronome tempo

and the Audio Song speed is not changed.

Enhancing the sound with Reverb

An actual piano sounds differently depending on the size of the room, or the material of the building in which

it is played. The reverberation is the major reason for this difference. Using the Reverb effect and simulating

the reverberation in a concert hall, etc. gives you the feeling of the being at a live performance.

Although selecting a Voice will call up the optimum Reverb type and depth for the selected Voice, you can

change these settings as desired.

Press the Menu button several times

until the [UTILITY] lamp lights up

in orange.

Press Button 2 [Reverb].

The current Reverb depth appears on the

display.

Make the desired settings as follows.

• Adjusting the Reverb depth

Rotate the [VOICE/VALUE] control to

adjust the depth in the range of 1 – 20.

Pressing the [VOICE/VALUE] control can

restore the default setting of the selected

NOTE

When “OFF” (Fixed) is selected, the velocity can be set in F2.2 (Fixed Velocity).

 Fixed Velocity

Determines the velocity with which the sound responds when Touch Sensitivity is set to “OFF” (Fixed).

 Keyboard Transpose

Shifts the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals to facilitate playing in difficult key

signatures, and to let you easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments.

NOTE

Your keyboard performance data will be transmitted with the transposed note numbers while MIDI note numbers received from

an external MIDI device or computer will not be affected by the Transpose setting.

 Master Tune

Fine tunes the pitch of the entire instrument in 0.2 Hz steps. This lets you accurately match the keyboard pitch

to that of other instruments or music on a portable music player.

NOTE

The hundreds digit is omitted for the value shown in the display (e.g., “40.2” stands for 440.2 Hz).

 Scale Type (Temperament)

Modern acoustic pianos are tuned almost exclusively in equal temperaments. Likewise, this unit employs equal

temperament, but you can select one of various scales for playing in custom tunings for specific historical

periods or music genres.

Setting range

A3 = 414.8 Hz – 466.8 Hz

Default setting

A3 = 440.0 Hz

Setting range

1 (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.

2 (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.

3 (Pure Minor)

4 (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.

5 (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.

6 (Werckmeister)

This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger

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.

7 (Kirnberger)

Default setting

1 (Equal)

TA2 Owner’s Manual

 Base Note

Determines the base note for the Scale selected above. When the base note is changed, the pitch of the

keyboard is transposed, yet maintains the original pitch relationship between the notes. This setting is

necessary when Scale Tune is set to something other than “Equal Temperament.”

NOTE

In the display, the note is followed by a high bar if sharp, and the note is followed by a low bar if flat.

 Metronome Volume

Adjusts the metronome volume.

 MIDI Song/Keyboard Volume Balance

Adjusts the volume balance between the keyboard performance and the MIDI Song playback. The higher the

value, the Song playback volume decreases, the lower the value, the keyboard performance volume decreases.

To adjust the balance with Audio Song, adjust the Audio Song volume in F4.4 (page 43).

NOTE

Some PianoSoft Songs have their own volume balance settings. These settings take priority to the balance setting here.

 Song Transpose

Shifts the pitch of the MIDI Song or Audio Song up or down in semitone intervals. For example, if you set this

parameter to “5,” the note of key C is played back in pitch F. In this way, the F major song is played back as if it

were in C major.

NOTE

• MIDI note numbers received from an external MIDI device or computer will not be affected by the Transpose setting.

• Applying transpose to an Audio Song may change its tonal characteristics.

 Audio Song Volume

Adjusts the volume of Audio Song playback.

 Half Pedal Point

You can sets the degree to which pressing the damper pedal applies the half-pedal effect. The larger the value,

the wider the half-pedal range. Larger values give you greater leeway in controlling the half-pedal effect.

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 (murkiness).

TA2 Owner’s Manual

 Binaural On/Off

Turns the Binaural function on or off. When this function is on, the sound from this instrument changes to the

sound of Binaural Sampling or the sound enhanced with the Stereophonic Optimizer (page 22), allowing you

to enjoy more realistic sound even when listening with headphones.

NOTE

This is effective only when headphones are connected.

 VRM On/Off

Turns the VRM effect (see below) on/off. When set to on, the VRM effect is applied only to piano Voices (PF.1

– PF.5). Damper Resonance, String Resonance and Aliquot Resonance produced by VRM can be adjusted

separately in F5.4 – F5.7.

NOTE

Only the sound output from headphones is affected.

Setting range

On, OFF

Default setting

Since the sound of Binaural Sampling and the sound enhanced with the Stereophonic Optimizer are

optimized for listening with headphones, we recommend that you set this function to “OFF” in the

following situation.

You should turn these functions off when:

• Playing the sound of this instrument with an external powered speaker system or a mixer, while

monitoring the sound output from this instrument on connected headphones.

• Making an Audio Recording (page 27) and then playing the recorded Audio Song through speakers. (If

you want to play the Audio Song recorded on this instrument through speakers, make sure to turn these

functions off before using Audio Recording.)

NOTE

Before connecting an external audio device, be sure to read “Connecting to external audio devices” (page 51).

Setting range

Default setting

VRM (Virtual Resonance Modeling) technology

On an actual acoustic piano, if you press the damper pedal and play a key, not only does the string of the

pressed key vibrate, it also causes other strings and the soundboard to vibrate, with each influencing the

rest, creating a rich and brilliant resonance that sustains and spreads. The VRM (Virtual Resonance

Modeling) technology featured in this unit reproduces the complicated interaction of both string and

soundboard resonance faithfully using a virtual musical instrument (physical modeling), and makes the

sound more like a real acoustic piano. Since instantaneous resonance is made at the moment according to

the state of the keyboard or pedal, you can vary the sound expressively by changing the timing of your

pressing the keys, and the timing and depth of your pressing the pedal.

English

TA2 Owner’s Manual

 Damper Resonance Depth

Determines the depth of the resonance effect produced by VRM which is applied when the damper pedal is

pressed. This parameter is effective only when VRM is on (page 44) and one of the piano Voice is selected.

NOTE

Only the sound output from headphones is affected.

 String Resonance Depth

Determines the depth of the string resonance effect produced by VRM which is applied when a note on the

keyboard is pressed. This parameter is effective only when VRM is on (page 44) and one of the piano Voice is

selected.

NOTE

Only the sound output from headphones is affected.

 Aliquot Resonance Depth

Determines the depth of the Aliquot resonance effect produced by VRM which is applied when you release

your hands from the keyboard. This parameter is effective only when VRM is on (page 44) and one of the

piano Voice is selected.

What is Aliquot?

Aliquot is a stringing method for pianos that uses extra, un-struck strings in the upper octaves to enhance

the tone. These strings sympathetically vibrate with other strings in an acoustic piano, resonating with

overtones, and adding richness, brilliance and complex color to the sound. Since they do not have a

damper, they will continue sounding even after you release your hands from the keyboard.

TA2 Owner’s Manual

 Body Resonance Depth

Determines the depth of the Body resonance effect which simulates the resonance of the piano itself, i.e.

soundboard, the sides, the frame and so on. This parameter is effective only when VRM is on (page 44) and

one of the piano Voice is selected.

NOTE

Only the sound output from headphones is affected.

 Key-off Sampling Volume

Determines the volume of the key-off sampling sound (simulated the subtle sound that occurs when you

release a key) which is available for some Voices. For Voices to which this effect is applied, refer to the Voice

List (page 64).

 MIDI Transmit Channel

Determines the MIDI channel with which the MIDI data of the keyboard performance will be transmitted to

the external MIDI devices. When this parameter is set to “OFF,” MIDI data is not transmitted.

Troubleshooting

If you have problems with the unit, here are a few troubleshooting tips. If you cannot solve the problem easily

yourself, consult your Yamaha piano dealer. DO NOT attempt to repair the piano yourself.

Problem Cause Solution

The power does not turn on. The power plug may not be properly

connected.

Connect the plug of the power cord firmly

into the AC outlet (page 15).

The power is automatically turned

off.

This is normal and due to the Auto Power

Off function.

If necessary, disable the Auto Power Off

function (pages 16 and 47).

The overall volume is low, or no

sound is heard.

The [VOLUME] control may be turned to

the far left position.

Adjust the volume to an optimal level

(pages 18 and 20).

Local Control is set to off. Make sure that Local Control (page 46) is

on.

The acoustic piano emits sound

when playing in the TransAcoustic

mode/Silent Piano mode.

Playing with extreme force may result in

sound being emitted from the acoustic

piano.

Moderate the strength of your playing.

The balance or volume varies

between the included

headphones and the

commercially available

headphones.

Headphone properties differ depending

on their type, so different headphones

may have different balance or volume

characteristics.

Use the same type of headphones for

optimum performance.

A rattling sound from the piano

body can be heard when playing

in TransAcoustic mode/Silent

Piano mode.

This is not a fault. It is the sound of the acoustic piano’s keystroke.

When playing a rapid series of

notes in the TransAcoustic mode/

Layer mode/Silent Piano mode,

a sound louder than expected

(considering playing strength)

occurs.

This is not a fault. The structure of the TransAcoustic Piano causes this to occur in

some cases.

Sound is not output properly or

evenly.

Since the keyboard was pressed when

the power is turned on, the keyboard

position is detected incorrectly.

Turn off the power and turn it on again to

reset the function. Do not touch any keys

when turning the power on.

No Reverb effect is applied to the

sound.

The Reverb depth may be set to

minimum.

Increase the Reverb Depth to apply an

appropriate amount of Reverb (page 35).

The sound lingers excessively. The Reverb depth or the Damper

Resonance effect depth may be set to an

excessive level.

Set these parameters to an appropriate

level (pages 35 and 45).

Noise is heard from the

headphones or speakers.

The noise may be due to interference

caused by the use of a mobile phone in

close proximity to the instrument.

Turn the mobile phone off, or use it away

from the instrument.

The headphones or speakers may not be

connected correctly.

Connect the headphones or speakers to

the corresponding jacks firmly (pages 16
