Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha Digital Piano H01!
We recommend that you read this manual carefully so that you can
fully take advantage of the advanced and convenient functions of the
H01.
We also recommend that you keep this manual in a safe and handy
place for future reference.
Main Features
Stylish and sophisticated digital piano
The H01 combines true piano sound in a modern, attractive cabinet that evokes the beauty of a real acoustic grand
piano—adding sophistication and musical expressiveness to your living space.
Authentic Acoustic Piano—like Touch Natural Wood Keyboard
The special Natural Wood keyboard uses real wood (on the white keys), to reproduce as closely as possible the experi-
ence of playing an actual acoustic grand piano. The authentic touch and feel of the keys goes far beyond existing elec-
tronic keyboards, realistically recreating the hardness of the keys, the balance between the weight of the key and
hammer, and the characteristic weight gradations of the keys—heavy in the low end, light in the high register—to
make you feel as if you’re playing a real grand piano. Moreover, this specially crafted keyboard lets you use techniques
only possible on grand pianos, such as playing the same note successively and having the sounds blend smoothly even
without use of the damper pedal, or playing the same key quickly and having perfect articulation without the sound
cutting off unnaturally.
AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling
The Yamaha H01 offers unmatched sonic realism and natural grand-piano type playability as well as Yamaha’s original
AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling tone generation technology for rich, musical voices.
The Grand Piano 1 feature totally new samples painstakingly recorded from a full concert grand piano.
And the voice feature three velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sampling), special Sustain Sampling (page 15) that
samples the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings when the sustain pedal is pressed,
and Keyoff Samples that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are released. The H01 comes much closer to the
sound of a true acoustic piano.

Some USB flash memory devices are equipped with a write-protect switch. To
prevent accidental erasure of important data saved in USB flash memory, slide
the write-protect switch on the device to the “protect” position. When saving
data, make sure that the write-protect switch is set to the “overwrite” position.
To connect the USB Flash Memory
Connect the USB Flash Memory device with the proper orientation; do not
force a wrong connection.
The playing songs copied to a USB flash memory from a computer
or other device, the songs must be stored either in the USB flash memory’s root
directory or a first-level/second-level folder in the root directory. Songs stored
in these location can be played as song data.
Songs stored in third-level-folders created inside a second-level folder cannot be
played by this instrument.

Using the Pedals
The H01 has three foot pedals: damper
(right) pedal, sostenuto (center) pedal,
and soft (left) pedal 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.
Sostenuto (Center) Pedal
If you play a note or chord on the key-
board 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 subsequently
played notes will not be sustained.
This makes it possible to sustain 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.
If the damper pedal doesn’t work,
make sure that the pedal cord is
properly plugged into the main
unit (page 24).
NOTE
When you press the damper pedal
here, the notes you play before you
release the pedal sustain longer.
Organ and string voices will con-
tinue to sound for as long as the
sostenuto pedal is depressed.
NOTE
When you press the sostenuto
pedal here while holding 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. While holding down the [VOICE] button, press two
keys in the range of C1 through A1 simultaneously
(or press one key while holding another) to engage
Dual.
Refer to “Selecting Voices” on page 15 for more information on the voices that
are assigned to the keys.
The voice assigned to the lower key will be designated as Voice 1, and the voice
assigned to the higher key 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 [VOICE] button, press one of the C5–F5 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 [VOICE] 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. While holding down the [VOICE] button, press one
of the C1–A1 keys (or press the [VOICE] button) 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.

Adding Variations to the Sound – Reverb
This control enables you to select four different types of reverb effect that add extra depth and
expression to the sound to create a realistic acoustic ambience.
Selecting a Reverb Type
While holding down the [VOICE] button, press one of the C2–E2 keys to select a
reverb type.
Adjusting Reverb Depth
While holding down the [VOICE] button, press one of the C3–G#4 keys to
adjust the reverb depth for the selected voice.
While holding down the [VOICE] button, press the A4 key to set the reverb to
the depth most suitable for the selected voice.
KeyReverb Type Description
C2 Room This setting adds a continuous reverb effect to the sound, similar to the
acoustic reverberation you would hear in a room.
C#2 Hall1 For a “bigger” reverb sound, use the HALL 1 setting. This effect simulates
the natural reverberation of a small-size concert hall.
D2 Hall2 For a truly spacious reverb sound, use the HALL 2 setting. This effect sim-
ulates the natural reverberation of a large concert hall.
D#2 Stage Simulates the reverb of a stage environment.
E2 Off No effect is applied.

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 H01 will transpose it to the key of F.
Setting the amount of transposition
While holding down the [BGM] and [VOICE] 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 [BGM] and [VOICE] buttons, press any key between
F#2 and B2.
To transpose the pitch up (in semitone steps)
While holding down the [BGM] and [VOICE] buttons, press any key between
C#3 and F#3.
To restore the normal pitch
While holding down the [BGM] and [VOICE] 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 the
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 and B-1
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 and A#-1
keys simultaneously and press
any key between C3 and B3.
To restore standard pitch:
Hold down the A-1, A#-1 and
B-1 simultaneously and press
any key between C3 and B3.
TERMINOLOGY
Transpose:
Changing the key signature. On
the H01, transposing shifts the
pitch of the entire keyboard.
Transposition range:
F#2 (-6 semitones)–
C3 (normal pitch)–
F#3 (+6 semitones)

1Hz=approximately 4 cents.
Pressing the key 8 times for
example, will set A3 at approxi-
mately 442Hz.
