The difference put simply is the CLP500, now CLP600 Series ( just released) is for the pianist whom wished to have a piano that mainly has piano based sounds with some other features, simple recording, headphone option and the two top end models CLP675 and CLP685 have a newly designed wooden keyboard action. The CVP700 Series is for the musician whom wants a piano based instrument plus all the features of a keyboard with hundreds of sounds and rhythms which follow the player. It also features a screen where the information is located and readily available. On these instruments you can even record your music and it will play it back with the full notation on the screen. The CVP701 is the entry model and does not have a wooden keyboard, but still has an excellent feel. The next model up would be a better comparison if we are talking keyboard action and sound system. It really comes down to a piano replacement mainly, CLP Series or a complete ensemble piano with incredible options for the musician who wants the lot!

CLP 600 series is not released in my country yet , so i actually can't wait to buy a piano but i'm asking about which has a better sound , like close to the acoustic pianos .. @Leith Ewert
If you want the best sounding piano and this is your priority then you cannot go past the CLP675 or CLP685. The technology is astounding and feel and touch of a real grand piano is amazing. You also should look at the Yamaha Avante Grand N1 which is the ultimate as it has an actual real piano action but no string!
The problem is that for a fraction of the cost you can purchase decent orchestral samples and software that are far superior to anything a cvp or clp could deliver and, with a bit of practice, are just as easy (easier in fact) to implement. CLPs and CVPs have good piano sounds nowadays, but the other samples are generally very poor and inflexible. Thus anyone seriously interested in building orchestral or band tracks will not use this, except for the decent piano sounds. In that case you can buy a much cheaper CLP with virtually the same quality piano samples, but without the poor samples of everything else.
Lmao what are you talking about? It's a great instrument that can function anywhere from being a straight piano to a full on arranger workstation. You probably won't be buying it when building a studio on a budget, in fact it's the kind of instrument you get the most out of when it's not connected to anything except electricity. These types of instruments usually don't integrate well into a studio environment, yet can still be useful. For inspiration at least, sometimes even prototyping. Don't knock 'em, they have a very good reason to exist.
fingerhorn4 I believe the opposite: there is no vst as flexible and easy to use as an arranger. And even some of the sounds: take the concert guitar, as an example. Name one vst where the articulations are so well implemented across the keyboard range and easy to play. Vst are good but not for live performing without extensive preparation.
I agree 100%. I'm glad somebody finally said it. Yamaha Clavinova is overrated and overpriced. Even the piano sounds are not that great. Our church purchased a CVP701. I've heard cheaper digital keyboards with better sounding pianos. The EP sounds are also crappy, strings sound artificial. When I play at church I connect my laptop because the VST sounds are much better.
Je l'ai acheté !
I bought it !!!
these sell around 1500 to 3000€ depends which version

Can MP3 files be played to accompany singing, for example, for a church service without a pianist?
