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, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the

cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where

anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.

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

required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.

• Use the speciﬁed adaptor (page 31) only. Using the wrong adaptor

can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.

• 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, or place containers on it 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

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

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

accidentally fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.

• 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.

• Use only the stand speciﬁed for the instrument. When attaching the

stand or rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could

cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument

falling over.

• 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

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha P-95B/P-95S!

We recommend that you read this manual carefully

so that you can fully take advantage of the advanced and

convenient functions of the P-95B/P-95S.

We also recommend that you keep this manual in a safe and

handy place for future reference.

Main Features

Graded Hammer Standard Keyboard

Thanks to our experience as the world’s leading manufacturer of acoustic pianos, we’ve developed a keyboard with

action that’s virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Just as on a traditional acoustic piano, the keys of the lower

notes have a heavier touch, while the higher ones are more responsive to lighter playing. The keyboard’s sensitivity can

even be adjusted to match your playing style. This Graded Hammer technology also enables the P-95 to provide

authentic touch in a lightweight instrument.

AWM Stereo Sampling

This instrument offers unmatched sonic realism and natural grand-piano type playability as well as Yamaha’s original

“AWM Stereo Sampling” tone-generation technology for rich, musical voices.

In particular, the Grand Piano 1 and 2 voices feature samples painstakingly recorded from a full concert grand piano,

while the Electric Piano 1 and 2 voice features multiple samples for different velocities (Dynamic Sampling); in other

words, it uses different samples depending on the strength of your playing.

Before Using

Turning the Power On

1. Connect the AC adaptor to the power sup-

ply jack.

WARNING

Use the speciﬁed adaptor (page 31) only. The use of other adaptors

may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the instru-

ment.

2. Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

CAUTION

Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument, or

during electrical storms.

3. Press the [ ] (Standby/On) switch to turn

on the power.

The power indicator located to the left of the [] (Standby/On)

switch lights up.

Pressing the switch again turns the power off.

CAUTION

Even when the instrument is turned 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 AC power adaptor from the wall AC

outlet.

Setting the Volume

Initially set the [MASTER VOLUME] slider about halfway between the

“MIN” and “MAX” settings. Then, when you start playing, re-adjust the

[MASTER VOLUME] slider to the most comfortable listening level.

Using the Pedal

[SUSTAIN] jack

This jack is for connecting the included pedal. The pedal functions in the

same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. Connect an optional

pedal to this jack and press the pedal to sustain the sound.

An optional FC3 foot pedal or FC4 foot switch can also be connected to

this jack.

If you connect an optional pedal of FC3, the half pedal function* can be

used.

* half pedal function

While you playing the piano with SUSTAIN and if you need to delete the

cloudy sound, release the foot from pedal to half position.

[PEDAL UNIT] jack

This jack is for connecting an optional LP-5A

pedal unit. When connecting the pedal unit, make

sure to also assemble the unit on an optional key-

board stand (L-85/L-85S).

Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing this

changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed

footswitch operation.

Make sure that power is OFF when connect-

ing or disconnecting the pedal.

Pedal Unit Functions

The optional pedal unit has three foot pedals that produce a range of

expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic

piano.

Damper (Right) Pedal

The damper pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on an

acoustic piano. When the damper pedal is pressed, notes sustain longer.

Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes.

A “half-pedal” effect lets you use the damper pedal to create partial sus-

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

Sostenuto (Center) Pedal

If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto

pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will sustain as long as you

hold the pedal (as if the damper pedal had been pressed) but all subse-

quently played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible to sus-

tain a chord, for example, while other notes are played “staccato.”

Soft (Left) Pedal

The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of

notes played while the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not affect

notes that are already playing when it is pressed.

LP-5A

(optional)

L-85/L-85S

(optional)

NOTE

When you press the damper

pedal here, the notes you play

before you release the pedal

have a longer sustain.

When you press the soste-

nuto pedal here while holding

the note, the note will sustain

as long as you hold the

pedal.

Before Using

P-95 Owner’s Manual

ENGLISH

Using Headphones

Connect a set of headphones to one of the [PHONES] jacks.

Two [PHONES] jacks are provided.

You can connect two sets of standard stereo headphones. (If you are

CAUTION

To protect your hearing, avoid listening with the headphones at a high vol-

ume level for long periods of time.

Transposition

The Transpose function makes it possible to shift 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. For example, if you set the

transposition amount to “+5,” playing key C produces pitch F. In this way, you can play a song as

though it were in C major, and the P-95 will transpose it to the key of F.

Setting the amount of transposition

While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [METRONOME] buttons, press

one of the F#2–F#3 keys to set the desired amount of transposition.

To transpose the pitch down (in semitone steps)

ENGLISH

MIDI Functions

You can make detailed adjustments to MIDI settings.

MIDI Transmit/Receive Channel Selection

In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and

receiving devices must be matched for proper data transfer.

This parameter enables you to specify the channel on which the P-95

transmits or receives MIDI data.

Setting the Transmit Channel

While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [METRONOME] buttons, press

one of the C1–E2 keys.

Setting the Receive Channel

While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [METRONOME] buttons, press

one of the C4–F5 keys.

Local Control ON/OFF

“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the P-95 keyboard controls its internal tone gener-

ator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard. This situation is “Local

Control On,” since the internal tone generator is controlled locally by its own keyboard.

Local control can be turned OFF, however, so that the P-95 keyboard does not play the internal

voices, but the appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal when

notes are played on the keyboard. At the same time, the internal tone generator responds to MIDI

information received via the MIDI IN terminal.

While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [METRONOME] buttons, press the

C6 key. Pressing the C6 key repeatedly toggles between Local Control On and

Off.

In Dual, Voice 1 data is transmit-

ted on its speciﬁed channel and

Voice 2 data is transmitted on the

next greater channel number rela-

tive to the speciﬁed channel. In

this case, no data is transmitted if

the transmit channel is set to

“OFF.”

ALL:

“Multi-timbre” Receive. This

allows simultaneous reception of

different parts on all 16 MIDI

channels, enabling the P-95 to

play multi-channel song data

received from a music computer

or sequencer.

1+2:

“1+2” Receive. This allows simul-

taneous reception on channels 1

and 2 only, enabling the P-95 to

play 1 and 2 channel song data

received from a music computer

or sequencer.

Program change and other like

channel messages received will

not affect the P-95’s panel set-

tings or the notes you play on the

keyboard.

Data for the demo song and

Program Change ON/OFF

Normally the P-95 will respond to MIDI program change numbers received from an external key-

board or other MIDI device, causing the same numbered voice to be selected on the corresponding

channel (the keyboard voice does not change). The P-95 will normally also send a MIDI program

change number whenever one of its voices is selected, causing the same numbered voice or pro-

gram to be selected on the external MIDI device if the device is set up to receive and respond to

MIDI program change numbers. This function makes it possible to cancel program change number

reception and transmission so that voices can be selected on the P-95 without affecting the external

MIDI device.

While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [METRONOME] buttons, press

the C#6 key. Pressing the C#6 key repeatedly toggles between Program Change

On and Off.

Control Change ON/OFF

Normally the P-95 will respond to MIDI control change data received from an external MIDI device

or keyboard, causing the voice on the corresponding channel to be affected by pedal and other

“control” settings received from the controlling device (the keyboard voice is not affected). The P-

95 also transmits MIDI control change information when the pedal or other appropriate controls

are operated.

This function makes it possible to cancel control change data reception and transmission so that,

for example, the P-95’s pedal and other controls can be operated without affecting an external

MIDI device.

While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [METRONOME] buttons, press

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

The insturment does not turn on. The instrument has not been plugged in properly. Securely insert the female plug into

the jack on the instrument, and the male plug into a proper AC outlet (page 9).

Noise is heard from the speakers or head-

phones.

The noise may be due to interference caused by the use of a mobile phone in close

proximity to the instrument. Turn off the mobile phone, or use it further away from the

instrument.

The overall volume is low, or no sound is

heard.

The Master Volume is set too low; set it to an appropriate level using the [MASTER

VOLUME] control (page 9).

Make sure a pair of headphones is not connected to the headphones jack (page 11).

Make sure that Local Control (page 26) is ON.

The pedal has no effect. The pedal cable/plug may not be properly connected. Make sure to securely insert

the pedal plug into the SUSTAIN/PEDAL UNIT jack (page 10).

The footswitch (for sustain) seems to pro-

duce the opposite effect. For example,

pressing the footswitch cuts off the sound

and releasing it sustains the sounds.

The polarity of the footswitch is reversed because the footswitch was pressed when

the power was turned on. Turn off the power and turn it again to reset the function.

Make sure to not press the footswitch when turning the power on.
