A Yamaha U1 upright piano is part of the library, too.

Intuitive User Interface

The Yamaha CP88 features one knob settings that allow you to fine tune synth parameters with one touch. Yamaha's focus on an intuitive, hassle-free live performance workflow is evident in the control pattern, linking every element on the instrument's surface to exactly one function under the hood.
