It shares the same GHS keyboard action and CFX-sampled sound engine as the YDP-146, but in a lower-profile design with a folding key cover that suits contemporary living spaces where a traditional upright cabinet would feel too bulky. If a sliding key cover and upright styling suit your space better, the YDP-146 offers the same performance in a classic Arius cabinet; for upgraded key action and more powerful amplification, the YDP-166 is the step up to consider.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTouch and Feel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe YDP-S36 uses GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) keyboard action across all 88 keys, with heavier resistance in the low register and a lighter touch towards the treble. Improved sensors respond to subtle variations in your playing, making it easier to develop dynamic control and expression as you progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSampled from Yamaha's CFX concert grand piano, the YDP-S36 delivers a clear and balanced tone at every pitch. VRM Lite adds resonance and harmonic depth, while Intelligent Acoustic Control and the Stereophonic Optimiser keep the sound well-balanced whether you are listening through speakers or headphones. The 12cm diffuser speakers are designed to project a full, focused sound despite the compact cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures for Learning and Practice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the key practice tools are present: 303 Lesson Songs, 50 Classic preset songs, Dual and Duo modes, 2-track MIDI recording and 192-note polyphony across 10 voices.
