I’ve seen some of your comments on other channels and I’m curious…what DP under $1k has the best stock piano sounds plus the option to add excellent piano sounds across other brands?
@@raymcnemar764 The only keyboards that allow adding piano sounds to their internal memory are professional stage pianos and workstations. For example, you can add a Steinway D patch to a Yamaha CP88 stage piano. Digital pianos don't have the capability to add sounds to their internal memory. However, any digital piano can be used as a MIDI controller. You can buy a quality virtual piano, such as Garritan CFX or VSL pianos and trigger those samples using a digital piano. Regarding the best stock pianos in a DP under $1K: it is really subjective. I personally prefer Yamaha. However, Kawai, Roland and Casio also offer nice piano sounds in several of their models.
@@Instrumental-Covers thanks for the insight! I’m a noob. I like the ck88, but it’s pricey. If I stick to under $1k, I’m leaning towards the fp60x, but I’m open to options.
@@raymcnemar764 My pleasure :) Those two that you mention are great options. The FP60X is a digital piano while the CK88 is a stage piano. I would personally choose the CK88, mainly due to the quality piano sounds. The CK88 has 3 distinct grand pianos: CFX, S700, and CFIII. In addition, it has the U1 upright. The S700 was a very famous patch around 15 years ago, taken from a $250,000 handmade Yamaha grand. Roland pianos ultimately don't sound as good as Yamaha digital pianos, in my opinion. I had two Roland digital pianos in the past with the SuperNatural engine, and they focus on a long list of parameters you can tweak, but no matter how much you try to improve the sound, it is never very satisfying. They also give a long list of like 20 different "piano" sounds, but they sound mediocre. If you are after quality and realistic piano sounds, I recommend Yamaha over Roland. To me, Roland is more about hardware and lots of connections, which is fine for a stage musician that needs convenience and will run the piano sample through a large PA speaker or keyboard amp. In that environment, Roland will do very well. But if you want a piano sample that you will listen to using studio headphones or studio monitors, I think the CK88 is a better choice than the FP60X. If you have the chance to test both instruments in person, I think that is the best way to figure out what will ultimately work for you.
Hermosa melodía, emociona escucharla!! 🎹🎶💖👋
