The Yamaha CP-30 Electric Piano was released in 1978. It is sturdy with its case-that-turns-into-legs and heavy at around 100 pounds. Despite its name, the CP-30 has relatively little to do with the Yamaha CP-70 and CP-80 series pianos as it has neither the mechanical keys nor the electro-mechanical harp and strings. The CP-30's sound is electrically generated with analog components (namely divide-down technology common in combo organs in the late 1960s and early 1970s). Most of the "piano" sounds are mellow like a Rhodes or a Wurlitzer, while the "harpsichord" sounds are reminiscent of a Clavinet.

The piano has two voices with four presets tabs (which can be mixed together), an adjustable tremolo effect on each voice (speed, intensity), and a pitch for each voice (chorus).
