Yamaha P-85


The Yamaha P-85 is an entry-level digital piano introduced in 2007. It is the successor of the Yamaha P-70 and introduces a MIDI sequencer.
The P-85 features 10 different patches, some of which are in stereo and use multi-sampling. The action used is Yamaha's GHS. The P-85 weighs about 25 lbs and has two 6.3 mm headphone jacks in the front. It can be used in conjunction with the L-85 wooden stand and the LP-5 three-pedal unit.
The P-85 is alternatively also available in silver instead of black.
The successor to the P-85 is the Yamaha P-95, introduced in 2010.

End of Life and Service

The P-85 is now replaced by a newer model and parts and service are no longer supported. However a service manual is online with detailed schematics as well as a well-marked PCB to allow anyone with some electronics background to resolve basic problems as the products age.
