It’s a cool feature and does help beginners (or those who cannot read music) to know what note to play and it helps with eye to hand coordination as well. The CSP-150 has a similar feature called “streaming lights” so that you can also visually follow the music and be able to see what keys to play, but that feature is yamaha digital piano done in a more advanced way on that model. The pedaling mechanism in the CLP-785 as well as in the CLP-775 is called the “GP” triple pedal. The GP means “Grand Piano” and what Yamaha did is add a feeling of physical resistance when you press down on the pedals like a person would feel pressing on grand piano pedals.
With an MSRP of only $499, this is a great piano for the aspiring pianist or beginner on a budget. While many of the features have been trimmed down on this keyboard, the necessities that remain are concise and well made. Serious classical pianists will find the 64 note polyphony on the Yamaha P45 to be inadequate. Advanced pianists will be frustrated with note drop-offs when playing demanding music. While this will not be an issue for beginners, similarly priced digital pianos from other brands now have 128 and even 256 note polyphony. You would need to look at the more expensive Yamaha P125 or digital pianos from Casio, Roland, and Korg if you need bass instrument sounds and the ability to split voices across the keyboard.
If you are looking for a digital piano with dual power options, I have a few recommendations for you. The CVP-809 also has a “grand piano” response damper pedal which gives you the feeling that you are pressing down a real “grand piano pedal” as far as pedal weight and response are concerned as opposed to the CVP-705 pedal which is more like a standard upright pedal movement. The CVP-805 damper pedal movement and response is very good but it’s not to the level of a grand piano damper pedal movement in the CVP-809. There are 525 amazing music styles (accompaniments) with 4 different variations each for a total of 2100 accompaniment styles and each of the music styles has 3 professional introductions and 3 professional endings to the song accompaniments.
Budding composers will enjoy many interesting features that add realism to their arrangements. Super Articulation Voices recreate the natural expression of non-keyboard instruments (great for saxophone). Like any good arranger keyboard, it comes yamaha piano keyboard with hundreds of high-quality sounds. Although the flagship voice is the Yamaha CFX concert grand, the other sounds are very good. While we don’t rate it as highly as the CFX engine, it’s still excellent (especially in that price range).
This piano’s keys feel really authentic and realistic, thanks to a feature called escapement. This is what causes acoustic pianos to have a faint “click” at the bottom of the key stroke and allows players to rapidly play repeating notes on the same key. The YDP 144 offers a few impressive features that contribute to the keyboard’s great sound and tone. When most yamaha electric guitars conventional digital pianos are played at a low volume, they tend to lose some of the richness of their tone, especially in the treble and bass. With the help of the IAC, you can play at any volume and still maintain a great tone with definition in the high and low registers. One of Yamaha’s most inexpensive digital pianos with weighted keys is the P-45.
Yamaha recently introduced the CP73 and CP88 giving a lot of new features to an old lineup – NW-GH with synthetic ebony and ivory key tops, brand new sounds, and additional ports/jacks, to name a few. Many of the features you will find on a stage piano will be things that you can quickly change during a live performance. Piaggero keyboards have far fewer tones to play with, less bells and whistles, and a much more streamlined appearance.
