N3/N2 Owner’s Manual • 3  Hybrid Piano ENGLISH Combining over one hundred years of superb piano craftsmanship with the latest advanced technologies, Yamaha is proud to introduce a true hybrid acoustic/ digital piano that meets the demands of contemporary musicians. Authentic Acoustic Piano Touch with Special Grand Piano Action and Piano Keyboard This brand new, innovative keyboard delivers the rich expressive quality of an actual grand piano, thanks to its finely nuanced touch and exceptional response. Drawing on our many decades of expertise in crafting grand pianos, Yamaha has created a unique and yet wholly traditional piano action mechanism for the Avant Grand—employing an action in which the hammers hit the strings from underneath, just as on an actual grand piano. The action of the hammers and the balance of each hammer weight have been meticulously adjusted to give this revolutionary keyboard an exceptionally natural and consistent feel. The keyboard also uses real-wood keys, just as on a real grand piano, and the white keys are made from the special material “Ivorite,” developed specifically by Yamaha to recreate the natural feel of ivory. The result is an amazingly expressive keyboard that lets your fingers dance lightly over the keys when playing rapid passages, and provides firm response when playing slow passages—for an authentic touch and feel that goes far beyond any existing digital piano. The Realistic Ambience of Grand Piano Voice The N3/N2 features Yamaha’s original brand new four-channel Multi Sampling tone-generation sampling technology for the grand piano voices. The voices are recorded at the left, right, center and rear positions of a grand piano, giving performers the rich resonance and sonic power heretofore only available on an actual grand piano. The instrument also utilizes a new four-channel Multi Speaker System, in which each speaker is equipped with its own dedicated amplifier. This is essential for preserving the sonic integrity of each frequency range and making sure that every musical part and all of its nuances are reproduced naturally with absolute clarity. In addition, the N3 is equipped with a special flat resonator inside the instrument to enhance the expressive response of the sound, providing a realistic response especially for the high notes. True Grand Piano Resonance The Avant Grand features a special TRS (Tactile Response System), which realistically reproduces the resonance of the instrument, or the vibration that you feel from the keys or the pedals when you play an actual grand piano. You can switch the function on/off, and the strength of vibration can be adjusted in three levels. Flexible Volume Control Unlike acoustic pianos, the Avant Grand gives you full control over the instrument volume, letting you adjust the level just as desired. Also, you can play or listen in total privacy through one or two pairs of headphones. The innovative TRS system enables you to feel the natural vibration of real acoustic grand piano even when using headphones. 2 4 • N3/N2 Owner’s Manual  Table of Contents PRECAUTIONS ..........................................................6 Listening to songs in USB Flash Memory..................31 Formatting USB Flash Memory.................................33 Getting started playing your new Avant Grand!

N3/N2 Owner’s Manual • 13 ENGLISH N3  Playing the Keyboard Using the Pedals ENGLISH The instrument 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. The damper pedal features a half-pedal function. 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 subsequently played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played “staccato.” When you press the damper pedal here, the notes you play before you release the pedal sustain longer. What is the 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). When you press the sostenuto pedal here while holding the note, the note will sustain as long as you hold the pedal. 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. Using Headphones (option) Connect a pair of headphones to one of the [PHONES] jacks located on the bottom left of the instrument. When the headphones are plugged into either of the [PHONES] jacks, the internal speaker system is automatically shut off. Two [PHONES] jacks are provided. You can connect two sets of standard stereo headphones. (If you are using only one pair of headphones, you can plug them into either jack.) The TRS is turned off when headphones are connected. Press the [TRS] button to turn it on (page 23). When the TRS (page 23) is on, sound can be heard to some degree even when the headphones are connected. CAUTION Do not listen to the instrument at a high volume level through headphones for a long period of time, or your hearing may be damaged.

Setting range: 414.8–466.8Hz (=A3) Normal setting: 440.0Hz (=A3) 23 ● To restore standard pitch: While holding down the [FUNCTION] button, press the [+] and [-] buttons simultaneously. Holding down all three buttons shows the current pitch setting. N3/N2 Owner’s Manual • 25 ENGLISH You can fine-tune the pitch of the entire instrument. This function is useful when you play this instrument along with other instruments or CD music.  Basic Operations and More Scale Tuning ENGLISH You can select various scales. Equal Temperament is the most common contemporary piano tuning scale. However, history has known numerous other scales, many of which serve as the basis for certain genres of music. You can experience the tunings of these genres. While holding down the [FUNCTION] button, press one of the C5–F#5 keys to select the scale. Holding down both controls shows the current scale setting. Normal setting: Equal F#5 C5 Display Key Scale Description 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. 1 C5 Equal 2 C#5 Pure Major 3 D5 Pure Minor 4 D#5 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 E5 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 F5 Werckmeister 7 F#5 Kirnberger 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. 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. Normal setting: C Determines the Base Note for each scale While holding down the [FUNCTION] button, press one of the C4–B4 keys. Holding down both controls shows the current base note setting. C4 B4 Key Base Note Key Base Note Key Base Note Key C4 C D#4 Eb F#4 F# A4 Base Note A C#4 C# E4 E G4 G A#4 Bb D4 D F4 F G#4 Ab B4 B Example: F~ F# (Followed by a high bar if sharp) G G A_ Ab (Followed by a low bar if flat) 24 26 • N3/N2 Owner’s Manual  Recording your Performance This instrument’s recording function enables you to record your performance.

You need a dedicated MIDI cable (optional) to make a MIDI connection. Since the transmission or reception of MIDI data can vary depending on the type of MIDI device, each MIDI device can transmit or receive only data and commands that are compatible with other connected MIDI devices. Please check the “MIDI Implementation Chart” on the Data List to find out what MIDI data and commands your devices can transmit or receive. Refer to page 5 for the “Data List.” Voice demo and piano preset song data are not transmitted via MIDI. Connecting to a Computer Connecting this instrument to a computer using the MIDI connectors enables you to transfer MIDI data between the instrument and the computer. For example, performance data of this instrument can be sent to and saved on the computer. You must install a software application on the computer to be able to transfer MIDI data between this instrument and a computer. CAUTION When connecting the instrument to a computer, first turn off the power to both the instrument and the computer before connecting any cables. After making connections, turn on the power to the computer first, then to the instrument. MIDI [IN] MIDI [OUT] USB port Instrument Computer A USB-MIDI interface (such as a Yamaha UX16) 35 Use an optional USB-MIDI interface (such as a Yamaha UX16) to connect this instrument’s MIDI connectors to the computer’s USB port. You also need to install the USB-MIDI driver on the computer correctly to use the interface. For more information, refer to the user’s manual that came with the USB interface device. N3/N2 Owner’s Manual • 37 ENGLISH MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a global format standard for performance data transmission and reception between electronic musical instruments. Connecting musical instruments that support MIDI via MIDI cables enables you to transfer performance and setting data between multiple musical instruments. Using MIDI, you can also achieve more advanced performances than using just a single musical instrument.  About MIDI Local Control On/Off ENGLISH “Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the keyboard of this instrument controls its internal tone generator, 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 keyboard of this instrument does not play the internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector when notes are played on the keyboard. At the same time, the internal tone generator responds to MIDI information received via the MIDI IN connector. While holding down the [FUNCTION] button, press the C6 key. Pressing the C6 key repeatedly toggles between Local Control On and Off.

N3/N2 Owner’s Manual • 39 ENGLISH Message  Troubleshooting ENGLISH Problem Possible Cause and Solution The instrument does not turn on. The instrument has not been plugged in properly. Securely insert the female plug into the socket on the instrument, and the male plug into a proper AC outlet (page 10). Noise is heard from the speakers or headphones. 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 Volume is set too low: set it to an appropriate level using the [MASTER VOLUME] control (page 12). • Make sure a pair of headphones is not connected to the headphones jack (page 14). • Make sure that Local Control (page 38) is on. Sound is still heard from the instrument even though headphones are plugged in. When the TRS is on, sound can be heard slightly even if the headphones are connected. Turn the TRS off to mute all sound other than the headphones (page 23). Sound is still heard from the instrument even though the volume is set to the minimum. When the TRS (page 23) is on, sound can be heard to some degree even when the volume is set to the minimum. This is normal, and is not a malfunction. The pitch and/or tone of the Piano Voices in certain ranges do not sound right. The Piano Voices attempt to precisely simulate actual piano sounds. However, as a result of sampling algorithms, overtones in some ranges may sound exaggerated, producing a somewhat different pitch or tone. This is normal, and no cause for concern. Sound is not heard on a particular key. Keyboard may not function normally if the key was pressed when the power was turned on. Turn off the power and turn it again to reset the function. Do not touch any keys when turning the power on. Sound input to the AUX IN jacks is interrupted. The output volume of the external device connected to this instrument is too low. Increase the output volume of the external device. The volume level reproduced via this instrument's speakers can be adjusted by using the [MASTER VOLUME] control. The damper pedal has no effect. • (N3) The pedal cord may not be properly connected. Make sure to securely insert the pedal cord into the pedal jack (page 42). • (N2) The damper pedal was pressed when the power was turned on. This is not a malfunction; press the pedal again to reset the function. The USB flash memory device has hung up (stopped). • Disconnect the device and connect it to the instrument again. • The USB flash memory is not compatible with the instrument. Only use the USB flash memory device whose compatibility has been confirmed by Yamaha (page 30). * The message list (page 39) is also provided for your reference. Maintenance When the surface of the instrument loses luster, wipe the instrument evenly with a cloth moistened with some special piano cleaner. For more information, contact the store where you purchased the instrument. 38 40 • N3/N2 Owner’s Manual  N3: Assembling the Unit CAUTION • Be careful not to confuse parts, and be sure to install all parts in the correct orientation.
