PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe 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, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the
cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where
anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over 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 31) 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, or place containers on it 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.
• 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 stand 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.
• 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.

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha P-95B/P-95S!
We recommend that you read this manual carefully
so that you can fully take advantage of the advanced and
convenient functions of the P-95B/P-95S.
We also recommend that you keep this manual in a safe and
handy place for future reference.
Main Features
Graded Hammer Standard Keyboard
Thanks to our experience as the world’s leading manufacturer of acoustic pianos, we’ve developed a keyboard with
action that’s virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Just as on a traditional acoustic piano, the keys of the lower
notes have a heavier touch, while the higher ones are more responsive to lighter playing. The keyboard’s sensitivity can
even be adjusted to match your playing style. This Graded Hammer technology also enables the P-95 to provide
authentic touch in a lightweight instrument.
AWM Stereo Sampling
This instrument offers unmatched sonic realism and natural grand-piano type playability as well as Yamaha’s original
“AWM Stereo Sampling” tone-generation technology for rich, musical voices.
In particular, the Grand Piano 1 and 2 voices feature samples painstakingly recorded from a full concert grand piano,
while the Electric Piano 1 and 2 voice features multiple samples for different velocities (Dynamic Sampling); in other
words, it uses different samples depending on the strength of your playing.

Before Using
Turning the Power On
1. Connect the AC adaptor to the power sup-
ply jack.
WARNING
Use the specified adaptor (page 31) only. The use of other adaptors
may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the instru-
ment.

Using the Pedal
[SUSTAIN] jack
This jack is for connecting the included pedal. The pedal functions in the
same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. Connect an optional
pedal to this jack and press the pedal to sustain the sound.
An optional FC3 foot pedal or FC4 foot switch can also be connected to
this jack.
If you connect an optional pedal of FC3, the half pedal function* can be
used.
* half pedal function
While you playing the piano with SUSTAIN and if you need to delete the
cloudy sound, release the foot from pedal to half position.
[PEDAL UNIT] jack
This jack is for connecting an optional LP-5A
pedal unit. When connecting the pedal unit, make
sure to also assemble the unit on an optional key-
board stand (L-85/L-85S).
Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing this
changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed
footswitch operation.
Make sure that power is OFF when connect-
ing or disconnecting the pedal.
Pedal Unit Functions
The optional pedal unit 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.
A “half-pedal” effect lets you use the damper pedal to create partial sus-
tain effects, depending on how far down you press the pedal.
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 subse-
quently played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible to sus-
tain a chord, for example, while other notes are played “staccato.”
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.

When you press the damper
pedal here, the notes you play
before you release the pedal
have a longer sustain.

the note, the note will sustain
as long as you hold the
pedal.

Combining Voices (Dual)
You can play voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard. In this way, you can
combine similar voices to create a thicker sound.
1. Press two voice buttons simultaneously to engage
Dual.
According to the voice button position on the panel, the voice on the left will be
designated as Voice 1, and the other will be designated as Voice 2.
You can make the following settings for Voices 1 and 2 in Dual:
Setting the Octave
You can shift the pitch up and down in octave steps for Voice 1 and Voice 2 inde-
pendently. Depending on which voices you combine in Dual, the combination
may sound better if one of the voices is shifted up or down an octave.
While holding down the [METRONOME] button, press one of the A4–D5 keys.
Setting the Balance
You can adjust the volume balance between two voices. For example, you can set
one voice as the main voice with a louder setting, and make the other voice softer.
While holding down the [
METRONOME
] button, press one of the F#5–F#6 keys.
A setting of “0” produces an equal balance between the two Dual voices. Settings
below “0” increase the volume of Voice 2 in relation to Voice 1, and settings above
“0” increase the volume of Voice 1 in relation to Voice 2.
2. Press one of the voice buttons to exit Dual and
return to the normal single-voice play.
Reverb in Dual
The reverb type assigned to
Voice 1 will take priority. If the
reverb assigned to Voice 1 is set
to OFF, the reverb assigned to
Voice 2 will be in effect.

Transposition
The Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in
semitone intervals to facilitate playing in difficult key signatures, and to let you easily match the
pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if you set the
transposition amount to “+5,” playing key C produces pitch F. In this way, you can play a song as
though it were in C major, and the P-95 will transpose it to the key of F.
Setting the amount of transposition
While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [METRONOME] buttons, press
one of the F#2–F#3 keys to set the desired amount of transposition.
To transpose the pitch down (in semitone steps)
While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [METRONOME] buttons, press
any key between F#2 and B2.
To transpose the pitch up (in semitone steps)
While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [METRONOME] buttons, press
any key between C#3 and F#3.
To restore the normal pitch
While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [METRONOME] buttons, press
the C3 key.
Fine tuning of the Pitch
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.
Setting the Pitch
To raise the pitch
in about 1cent steps (100 cents
= 1 semitone):
Hold down the A-1, B-1 and C0
keys simultaneously and press
any key between C3 and B3.
To lower the pitch
in about 1cent steps (100 cents
= 1 semitone):
Hold down the A-1, B-1 and C#0
keys simultaneously and press
any key between C3 and B3.
To restore standard pitch:
Hold down the A-1, B-1, C0 and
C#0 keys simultaneously and
press any key between C3 and B3.
TERMINOLOGY
Transpose:
