Pianoteq YFX Japanese Grand

A full-size 9' Japanese concert grand model: precise, balanced and remarkably expressive.

Inspired by the exceptional Japanese piano craftsmanship, the YFX is a Grand Piano with a distinctive character: precise, balanced and remarkably expressive.

The Pianoteq virtual model of the YFX brings a new voice to your recordings, live performances and everyday practice, through a dedicated software or as a DAW plugin.

The Modartt team invested extensive research and development into refining the physical model, which includes the latest soundboard refinements introduced with Pianoteq 9, all while preserving Pianoteq's lightweight design, quick loading times, and exclusive customization options.

Clarity that carries

The clear, beautifully singing voice of the YFX retains excellent definition and consistency across the entire keyboard. Its powerful, well-defined bass provides depth and authority while remaining clear and controlled, even in the most demanding passages.

A great all-rounder

Whether played live or recorded in the studio, the YFX feels immediately at home in all musical styles. Its clarity and responsiveness encourage musicians to play boldly, explore new ideas and discover fresh musical possibilities.

For playing, for recording, and more

Pianoteq instruments offer a wide range of carefully designed presets, each with its own tonal character and playing experience, from natural piano sounds to creative textures.

Warm, Player and Prelude offer natural, balanced tones that recreate the experience of playing a real piano.

Recording presets are optimized for studio recording and music production.

Sombre and Felt provide soft, muted, warm tones for delicate, expressive playing.

Pop and Mix blend naturally into contemporary arrangements and dense mixes.

New Age, Chorus and Cosmic create spacious, atmospheric textures and immersive soundscapes.

Each preset is also a starting point for further customization. Pianoteq Standard and Pro users can explore advanced features such as custom tuning, microphone positioning, instrument morphing and layering.
