PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

Please keep this manual in a safe and handy 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. Also, do not

excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, or place heavy objects on 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 53) 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, place on it

any containers (such as vases, bottles or glasses) 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 power switch and

disconnect the electric plug from the outlet. Then 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 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 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 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 instrument to set the desired listening level.

• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel 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.

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

Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status (display 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.

P-255 Owner’s Manual

Main Features

Exquisite sound of a concert grand piano faithfully reproduced by the Pure CF Sound Engine

In order to give the P-255 the best possible piano sound, we started by selecting the one Yamaha

concert grand piano with the highest quality tone and acoustic properties. Expert tuners then pains-

takingly ensured that the selected piano was perfectly pitched, and finally, our Pure CF Sound

Engine technology was employed to meticulously sample the full lifespan of every single note.

Graded Hammer keyboard with synthetic ivory keytops for an authentic feel

Developed with the aim of reproducing the sensation of playing a real grand piano, the Graded

Hammer (GH) keyboard features naturally weighted keys, with those in the low range feeling

heavier than those in the high range. As a result, the keyboard feels perfectly balanced over its

complete length. What’s more, the synthetic ivory finish applied to the white keys has excellent

moisture absorption characteristics, meaning that you can play in comfort for as long as you want

without fear of the keys becoming slippery.

Ten different rhythm tracks built in

Playing the keyboard along with one of the ten basic rhythm tracks built into your P-255 is a great

way to add spice to your performances, and as such, these automatic rhythms make playing more

fun. Featuring a range of different patterns from jazz, popular music, and the like, the digital

piano’s rhythm tracks are sure to include what you are looking for.

Live Music Toolbox for performing on-stage

Collectively known as the Live Music Toolbox, the P-255 features a number of functions that

come in handy when performing on stage. For example, you can use Sound Boost to make the

instrument sound louder and enhance its presence (page 18), and the Panel Lock function deacti-

vates buttons on the control panel so you won’t have to worry about pressing them by mistake

while playing (page 18). Meanwhile, you can also turn off the built-in speakers when alternatives

are provided on-stage (page 44). With these tools at your disposal, it is easier to set up your digital

piano on-stage and performing becomes much more enjoyable.

Operate the instrument using P-255 Controller on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod

With the specially developed app P-255 Controller running on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod, you can

remotely control your digital piano for even more convenience and flexibility. By presenting vari-

ous parameters on-screen, this app allows you to make settings in a visual, more intuitive manner.

Setting Up

Plug the appliance end of the AC power cord into

the bundled power adaptor as shown in the figure.

Plug the power adaptor’s DC cable into the [DC IN]

jack on the rear panel.

Plug the power adaptor’s AC power cord into a

domestic-use, AC wall socket.

Press the [ ] Standby/On switch.

The digital piano will turn on and the display at

the center of the control panel will light up.

To turn off the instrument, press the [ ] Standby/

On switch once again.

The Auto Power-Off function automatically turns off

your digital piano after a set period of inactivity in order

to save power. By default, it will turn off the instrument

after 30 minutes if it is not operated in any way.

Disabling the Auto Power-Off function

To disable the Auto Power-Off function, either set the

corresponding Function parameter to “Off” or turn on

the instrument while holding down the left-most key

on the keyboard. When disabled in this way, the

instrument will not turn off automatically.

Changing the Auto Power-Off time

Press the [FUNCTION] button to access the Func-

tion parameters.

Press the [FUNCTION] button repeatedly until Func-

tion parameter

F8.8

is shown. Then, press the [-/NO]

or [+/YES] button to select that Function parameter.

Set the desired Auto Power-Off time using the [-/NO]

and [+/YES] buttons.

• Available settings: OFF, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, and 120 minutes

• Default setting: 30 minutes

Press the [FUNCTION] button to return to the previ-

ous screen.

Turning on the instrument

• Be sure to use only the correct power adaptor (page

53). Other adaptors may damage the instrument, cause

it to overheat, or create a fire hazard.

• Be sure to use a power supply at the correct voltage.

• Be sure to unplug the power adaptor from the AC wall

socket during electrical storms or if the instrument is

not to be used for an extended period of time.

• The digital piano remains charged and draws a small

amount of power even when turned off. Be sure, therefore,

to unplug the power adaptor from the AC wall socket if it

is not to be used for an extended period of time.

• Carry out the above procedure in reverse when disconnecting the power adaptor.

If you are going to use your instrument in a live

music situation such as on-stage, please read

the section Performing Live (page 36).

NOTE

Auto Power-Off

• Before the Auto Power-Off function turns off the instrument, unsaved data

will be automatically backed up. See page 46 for details of the data backed

up at this time.

• In certain modes of operation, the Auto Power-Off func-

tion will not turn off the digital piano when the set time

has elapsed. We recommend, therefore, that you

always turn off the instrument manually when you are

finished using it.

• If your digital piano is connected to other equipment

such as amplifiers, speakers, or a computer but you do

not intend to use it for some time, we recommend that

you turn off all devices as described in their owner’s

manuals. Doing so eliminates the risk of damage to the

other equipment. If you do not want the instrument to

turn off automatically when connected to other equip-

ment, disable the Auto Power-Off function.

If you are going to use your instrument in a live music

situation such as on-stage, we recommend that you

disable the Auto Power-Off function. (See page 37, 39.)

To adjust the volume, use the [MASTER VOLUME]

slider at the left of the control panel while playing the

keyboard to check the setting.

To set up the music rest, insert it into the groove at the

back of the control panel.

Your digital piano features two [PHONES] jacks,

allowing two sets of headphones to be connected at

the same time. If you wish to connect only one set,

either of the jacks can be used. No sound will be out-

put from the instrument’s speakers when headphones

are connected to either or both of the jacks.

When plugged into the [SUSTAIN PEDAL] jack, the

FC4 Foot Switch that came with your digital piano

functions in the same way as the damper pedal of an

acoustic piano—that is, it allows notes played while it

is operated to sustain for longer than normal after you

release the corresponding keys. You can also connect

either an FC3 Foot Pedal or an FC5 Foot Switch (sold

separately). The FC3 supports half-damper playing.

Half-damper playing

Your digital piano can adjust the length of sustain in

response to how much the pedal is operated. In spe-

cific terms, the more the pedal is operated, the longer

the notes sustain. If, for example, too much sustain is

applied when you operate the pedal, reduce the level

(and make the sound clearer) by allowing the pedal to

return slightly.

NOTE

Setting Up

P-255 Owner’s Manual

An LP-255 Pedal Unit (sold separately) can be con-

nected if you wish to play the digital piano using a full

set of three pedals. In such a case, please set up the

instrument and pedal unit on an L-255 Keyboard

Stand (sold separately).

Damper pedal

Located at the right of the pedal unit, the damper

pedal allows notes played while it is operated to sus-

tain for longer than normal after you release the corre-

sponding keys. This pedal supports half-damper

playing—the more you operate it, the longer the notes

sustain.

Damper-pedal resonance

Yo ur digital piano’s damper resonance function recreates the

effect of resonance between individual piano strings when

the damper pedal is operated. The depth of this resonance

can be set using the corresponding Function parameter

(page 40).

Sostenuto pedal

The pedal located at the middle of the pedal unit is

known as the sostenuto pedal. If you play a note or

chord on the keyboard and operate this pedal before

releasing the keys, the corresponding notes will sus-

tain until you allow the pedal to return. Notes played

while the pedal is operated are not affected, meaning

that you can play a staccato melody over a sustained

chord.

Soft pedal

Located at the left of the pedal unit, the soft pedal

slightly lowers the volume and softens the timbre of

notes played while it is being operated. This effect

lasts until the pedal is released. Because the soft pedal

has no effect on notes already playing, you should

operate it just before playing the notes to be softened.

Using pedals for Play and Stop operations

Yo u can configure either the center or left pedal to operate in

the same way as the control panel’s [PLAY/STOP] button

Main Operations

Selecting & Playing Voices

P-255 Owner’s Manual

Using Dual mode as described below, you can layer

two Voices on the keyboard and play them together.

By combining Voices of different types in this way,

you can create a composite Voice of greater richness

and texture.

Select the two Voices you wish to layer

using the corresponding Voice buttons.

Your digital piano will get the selected Voices

ready for playing.

For details on selecting voices, see page 13.

Activate Dual mode.

Press the Voice buttons for the two selected Voices

together and verify that they both light up.

Voice 1 and Voice 2

Of the two Voices selected for layering, the one

selected using the Voice button closer to the left

will be designated Voice 1; the other, Voice 2.

When you activate Dual mode, the Voices’ octave

settings and volume balance in addition to their

reverb and effect types and depths will be auto-

matically optimized. If necessary, however, you

can change these settings using the corresponding

Function parameters (page 40). Furthermore,

these settings can be changed individually for

Voice 1 and Voice 2.

Leave Dual mode.

Press any Voice button to return to normal play

mode.

Using Split mode as described below, you can divide

the keyboard into left and right sides and assign differ-

ent Voices to each. You could, for example, play a

bass part with your left hand using the Wood Bass or

Electric Bass Voice while playing a melody using a

different Voice with your right hand.

Activate Split mode.

Press the [SPLIT] button and verify that it lights up.

By default, the Wood Bass Voice will be assigned

to the left side of the keyboard at this time.

Set the split point.

The split point is the location at which the key-

board is divided. To set this point, press the corre-

sponding key with the [SPLIT] button held down.

Alternatively, you can move the split point by

pressing the [-/NO] and [+/YES] buttons with the

[SPLIT] button held down. To restore the split

point to the default F#2 setting, press the [-/NO]

and [+/YES] buttons together with the [SPLIT]

button held down.

Whenever the [SPLIT] button is being held down,

the display will show the current split point.

Examples of split points as shown on display

Layering two Voices with Dual mode

• Two different voices corresponding to the same Voice button—such as

Grand Piano and Live Grand—cannot be layered.

vidual Voices. Whenever you select a Voice, the most

suitable reverb will be automatically set; however, you

can freely set the reverb type and depth.

Setting the reverb type

Whenever you press and release the [REVERB] but-

ton, the current reverb type will be shown on the dis-

play. You can then cycle through the different types by

pressing the [REVERB] button the required number

of times.

Using the digital piano’s Effect function, you can add

a range of different audio effects to individual Voices.

Whenever you select a Voice, the most suitable effect

will be automatically set; however, you can freely set

the effect type and depth.

The Transpose function allows you to shift the pitch

of both the keyboard and song playback. In this way,

you can match your playing to the key of another

instrument or a singer without having to change what

you actually play on the keyboard. Transpose settings

are made in semitone units. For example, if you set the

transpose amount to “5,” the key C will produce the

pitch F. You could, therefore, play a song as if it was

in C major and the digital piano would transpose it to

the key of F major.

Setting the transpose amount

Use the [-/NO] and [+/YES] buttons while holding

down the [TRANSPOSE] button to set the transpose

amount in semitone units. To restore the non-trans-

posed default setting (0), press the [-/NO] and

[+/YES] buttons together with the [TRANSPOSE]

button held down.

•Available settings: -12 (one octave lower) to 0 (normal pitch)

to 12 (one octave higher)

Turning transpose on and off

You can press the [TRANSPOSE] button to toggle

transpose on and off. The button will light up when

the instrument is being transposed. Its light will go out

when transpose is turned off or the transpose amount

is 0.

Using the Tuning setting, you can fine tune the pitch

of the entire instrument. This can be extremely useful

when playing your digital piano along with other

instruments or recorded music.

Tuning is set using Function parameter F1. Refer to

page 41 for details.

The degree to which the instrument reflects differ-

ences in the strength of your playing in the sound pro-

duced is referred to as touch sensitivity, and this

setting can be adjusted. (Changing the touch sensitiv-

ity has no effect on the weights of the keys.)

Touch sensitivity is set using Function parameter

F6.8. Refer to page 45 for details.

Using your digital piano’s Equalizer function, you can

adjust the tone of overall instrument by increasing or

decreasing the gain in three different frequency bands.

The [EQ] section of the control panel contains a slider

for each of these bands, making it very easy to equal-

ize to your liking.

• LOW slider.....Used to adjust the tone in the Low

frequency band.

• MID slider ......Used to adjust the tone in the Mid

frequency band.

• HIGH slider ...Used to adjust the tone in the High

frequency band.

When you move a slider up, the volume of the corre-

sponding frequency band will be boosted and vice-

versa.

• Move the LOW slider up and down to adjust the

sound’s thickness and punch.

• Move the MID slider up and down if you wish to

adjust the clarity of the sound.

• Move the HIGH slider up and down to adjust the

brightness and brilliance of the sound.

Using your instrument’s Sound Boost function when

playing along with other instruments, you can raise its

volume and enhance the presence of your perfor-

mance without making it any less expressive. This

function is particularly useful when you want not only

notes played very loud, but also those played softly, to

be clearly audible.

The [SOUND BOOST] button can be used to toggle

this function on and off. The button will light up when

the sound is being boosted.

Boosting the overall sound

Display/Type Description

Producing smooth dynamics, this type is ideal

for solo performances of uplifting songs and

the like.

This type produces a smoother, clearer sound

than Type 1, making it the perfect choice when

singing and playing at the same time.

In addition to a brighter, more-powerful sound

than Type 2, this type also has a clearer attack.

As such, it is an excellent choice when, for

example, performing as part of a band.

• If necessary, you can use the Equalizer (EQ) to further accentuate the effect of the

Sound Boost function (page 17).

NOTE

Locking the control panel

• Locking the control panel has no effect on the [ ] Standby/On switch, the
