It includes a polyphony of 64 notes, ensuring smooth performance even during complex passages.

The piano offers a comprehensive selection of voices, allowing musicians to explore diverse soundscapes. It also includes reverb and chorus effects that enhance sound depth and richness. The CLP-230 provides layering and split functions, enabling users to combine different voices for creative expression. Its built-in metronome and recording capabilities support practice and composition, with the ability to save performances internally or transfer them via USB connectivity.

The design features a sleek, elegant cabinet with a polished finish, incorporating three pedals that replicate the sustain, sostenuto, and soft functions of a traditional grand piano. The user interface is intuitive, with a clear LCD display that facilitates easy navigation through the various functions and settings. The Yamaha Clavinova CLP-230 combines aesthetic appeal with functional excellence, making it suitable for both home use and educational environments where quality and durability are paramount.
