I bought this recently based on yours and another YT’s recommendation. I bought it during the recent Black Friday sale, and I must say this is an amazing piano. I’m no professional-I play synths. I bought this so I can learn paino and improve my synth playing. It’s an amazing machine especially for my needs and purposes. Thank you for making this video.
Great in your face presentation. No stones left unturned. The guy really kicks it and nails the D1 right on the spot with a lot of great attitude. Lovely and highly credible demo🎉
Just bought one last week, it is awesome. Great different instrument sounds. Great piano sounds and Rhodes electric piano too. Keyboard keys are real authentic feeling. Try it out.
So happy I've discovered this product and this video has reassured me on my purchase, thanks!! Flagship key action in a sub £500 bracket is so easy for people to overlook. Nearly bought the Kawai VPC1 but this is honestly far more versatile not to mention portable, and to be realistic how often do you perform on a concert grand to justify the need for super "realistic" action? cant wait to get my hands on this board, an audio interface and some high end software piano sounds, this is a real gem!
Around 2012 I bought SP250 with RH3, for 650 euros, I play every day from Chopin to Jazz, and it still plays great. RH3 is great action and compares to a yamaha U3
Great Demo! Can't believe they didn't include Pitch Bend / Mod & USB connect... Would definitely have been worth the extra $ and met my needs perfectly.
Just bought the D1. I've played piano for over 20 years. The key action is awesome. I find the best sound in the machine is when you layer Piano 1 with an EP and lower the volume of the EP. It gives you the sustain and mechanical noise of the EP while giving the character of the grand piano. I love it.
Korg should release a D2 with more sounds, pitch bend and modulation wheels, usb connectivety, the ability to split the keyboard and an internal power supply and I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
It's nice to find this old review on the D1, which I see is still for sale. In many ways the instrument reminds me of the Yamaha P80 which had a very similar case and weight and no speakers, and even had the same sort of screen and all the cables bunched together at one end. Perhaps the sounds and action are more up-to-date on the D1 - dunno without trying it myself. This strikes me as a good instrument for hooking up to a voice expander like the V3 piano thing. Connecting to a voice expander might also be good way to get around the problem of not having a keyboard split on the D1 - I guess that depends on the voice expander. The D1 could also be used as a MIDI controller keyboard for VST instruments. Due to its superior RH3 action, I imagine that the D1 must be one of the cheapest keyboards which can do at least some justice to a quality VST piano. Can anybody else comment on that? And I wonder how the action compares to Roland's PHA-4 and PHA-50?
I was just about to buy the studiologic SL88 but this may be a better fit to add to my korg Kronos. I like the fact it doesn’t have too many knobs because I’ve been wanting to have the master keyboard on top but have it positioned as close as possible to get the same ergonomics of a organ. I’m sold on the fact it has the RH3 keybed! My biggest concern was buying a controller blind.
I bought mine second hand in great condition.. Plus: It looks elegant, solidly build, feels indestructible, very easy to operate, no menus, not too heavy to transport. The action is heavy for me which is good to gain strength, I am pretty much a beginner. Minus: I think the sounds are not bad but also not inspiring, it doesn't feel very warm to me. I wish there was a way to increase the overall sustain slightly before using the pedal, my favourite piano sound cuts off way too quickly compared to my upright. I think it's good for the price.
Great Demo on the EP sound! The sound is so realistic from what I heard in person. However, I do have a difficult decision on choosing between Korg D1 and Kurzweil MPS110, hope someone can share their view on this. Both has its pros and cons. Cheers!
I have recently purchased the Korg G1 Air. I am very happy with the instrument apart from one issue, namely a constant hiss (white noise) from the speakers with no keyboard input. This may be a design or manufacturing defect with the output amplifier.
I don't see why not having speakers is a problem. Does it have a big impact on the sound or what? Because based on other videos this piano has beaten other pianos that have speakers like the Yamaha p-125.
francisco herrera especially if you’re performing at a gig. No pianist is gonna use the keyboard speakers but external speakers when playing in front of an audience. Also, the headphones are perfect too.
There are people who use it for practice at home, and it is more convenient to have speakers built in. Not everyone is a performer, some just play for fun. I personally use my keyboard as midi controller, I do think that build in voices are useless just like you think of speakers. Don't get me wrong, all my keys don't have speaker build in, but I think if I as a customer just wanna have some piano practice might as well go for the most convenient one. Cheers bro.
Great review. I am facing decision which piano to buy so I would like to ask: CASIO CDP-S110 or KORG D1? Have some thought and just need to know expert choice.
Hey John, nice review as always, can you add the SV1 to the list of reviews? I know is an old one but still a very interesting instrument to deserve a review.
Hi, This or the Roland FP-30? Which one would you recommend better? personally, i dont care about the speakers on board. i'll be using it mostly with an amplifier. thank you.
I have the FP-30 and tried in the store the D1, way better keybed on the Fp30, it has a bit of texture syntethinc ivory and escapement, and feels more like a grand action ... the piano sound, again, the Roland piano has great long natural decay and the overtones are really close to a grand ... the D1 piano sound was dissapointing. But, there's another one you can try and I think you might like it more than both, the new Casio PX-S1000, check it out...
@@CornyChalky nice. i would want to try them out myself but the availability here in UAE is not that great. but alright I'll check this out maybe from review vids. thanks for the tip 👍
The C1 Air has recently come down in price. Which one has better sounds? I kinda like the fact that D1 can be easily moved out of the way and it looks more professional, but I'd have to play it with headphones only until I get a new pair of studio monitors, so I can use my old ones for the piano. It also only has 1 pedal. Which do you think is the better buy considering C1 is only about 200 euros more?
I'm replying too late to help you choose, but I'd like to add that if you have to move your piano "out of the way" you will play it a lot less and it might get damaged from moving it to a cramped location unless you put it in a case first, which is even more complicated. Basically, I'm saying that if there isn't room to keep a piano set up properly, that's a shame.
has anyoue used this piano and roland fp30？in my state this two piano have same price,iam going to buy one recently,but iam very torn about buy which one,i just want a better keyboard,if you know please give me some advices
Os sons são bons, parece ter boas teclas, mas aqui no Brasil pelo preço que a Korg vende compensa mais o Casio PX-S3000 que tem ótimos pianos e centenas de outros sons, tb tem ritmos, memória pra registros, seuqenciador, falantes, botões de controle na esquerda. A Casio é a única que vende seus produtos pelo mesmo preço que no exterior, as outras marcas vendem aqui com um sob preço de 40 a 60%!
Can anyone that has this keyboard tell me how to octave shift? I know how to transpose (from reading the manual) but information about octave shifting can't be found anywhere! Thanks
Hi, i bought one and it's very nice but i feel the sustain is a bit weak, compared to an acoustic piano. It is quite disturbing that i can not hold some notes as much as i wish. Is is normal ? I have the DS1H pedal. Anyone feels the same ?
@@Mobiluks Sorry for the (very) late reply... Your response didn't show up here. Thanks for sharing, yes, i meant sustain as in holding the notes, and my keyboard doesn't do it well. Got an m-audio pedal as well, which is a bit better than the DS1H; Even though it doesn't have the double-sampled pedal that the DS1H has, i use only the M-Audio for this reason :s. A tiny bit better, but still lacking for me.
@@peterremkeThanks for sharing, yes maybe the higher ends have this done better... for this reason i never play the piano only, except for things like blues... it's too dry, so i always add some strings on top. With strings though, this thing sounds very good imo 👍
ok for the RH3 touch but the sounds when your ear listens to the best grain you can't go back and settle for a few canapes superimposed in sample sorry but the piano sounds berkkkkkkkkkkk
Hi Fer, These are 2 pretty different price categories, D1 does have their high-end action which is really good if you like really heavy actions. Sound quality they are both on par. FP10 is a great piano for the price. Cheers - Rudi
Thanks Rudi, is the korg RH3 key action heavier than the Roland PHA4 Standard?, and which is faster, confortable and more responsive?, are you tried the Kawai MP7?, the older version, what about this key action and sound connection between these mentioned boards!... Thanks a lot!...
I'll try to answer this as well as I can. If you're asking if it can be used as a midi controller for playback of samples in your DAW, yes, it can, and you should be able to use software to achieve this. That said, because it only has a midi output, you will need a usb midi interface such as a Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 or Behringer UMC404HD to connect it to a computer. If you are wondering if you can record and export or playback samples on this keyboard, it cannot. You will need a separate sampler/sequencer to achieve this, be it software or hardware. Sorry if I wasn't able to answer your question, those two were what I parsed from your initial post.
Hi Canidous, We just like to chip in with a solution for you. You can use the KORG PlugKey as a solution as it provides MIDI + audio interface that lets you play your iPhone/iPad using any keyboard. Here is a link to the PlugKey www.korg.com/au/products/computergear/plugkey/
Korg produces some great boards,synths,and digital pianos( c1g1 air) . Now if they can come up with some useful apps for these pianos that would be nigh to awesome. Apps are ' in. ' for DPs now- just check out Yamaha,Roland,and Casio apps for digital pianos. The technology is available so when will Korg get on board? Rudi,you are one of my favorite Tube demonstrators- a cool key man. Thanks for the video on a basic yet useful entry level Korg DP!
I am looking for a piano but no USB, Bluetooth, speakers... i get that they need to cut cost but just add 100 dollars extra oh well, will be hard to convince myself to get it even though I like the sound.
Hello, friend master. Just a Question.....it is factible to connect via Midi to Pc through an audio interface ( of course whit Midi in-out ) or does it need some other device ? Thanks
Factible... I like it It's easy to go midi to pc.. Done it for ages before usb came to keyboards ..Factible is on the other hand brand new. I will spread the word
@@MusicMan121 I ordered one and the keys were broken on arrival. Could be delivery or could be manufacturer defect. But I've ordered pianos through mail and it's never been a problem . I would pass this off as a shipping problem, but when it happens to more people all over the world, I question the manufacturer.
In this video, we didn't use a keyboard amp. We just had the piano going straight into our UA Apollo interface, so the sound you are hearing in the video is the pure sound of the piano, without any colouring from an amp. Cheers - Murdoch
Kawai es110 or this piano. Are the action on both of these piano have the same feels? because i also like the fact that this piano have a rh3 action and ivory feel but the negative thing is that it does not have a speaker. Which one would you recommend more? There is no store in my area by the way to try this piano
I had a Kawai ES110, and replaced it with a Korg G1 (same key action as this D1). The ES110 keys had more bounce, but at the expense of more key noise, and I mean really noticeable thud sound at each press of the keys. But I guess that has more to do with the hollow cavity of the plastic casing of the Kawai not being "damped" enough, unlike the D1's much better enclosure. Also if it matters to you, on slow key press (soft notes) you would notice a bit of resistance point on the Korg like a simulated escapement but it's so slight and Korg doesn't even say it has it. Apart from being generally heavier weighted overall than ES110 keys, that is. But these nuanced things make the Korg key action a lot more realistic subjectively.
I was in the market for a Digital Piano this week and after watching a number of reviews was convinced I would walk away with the Korg! NOT SO! The keyboard on the Korg is EXTREMELY heavy . . . too much so making it actually very difficult to play :( The Roland FP-30 was the one I went for. FAR better feeling than the Korg . . . which really surprised. me. @@gwapster13
This DP is the best with DAW and external monitors. Inner sounds are so so. But what to expect for the price? Only great keys. So it's more like a MIDI keyboard with DP features
Tim Volk not sure what you are talking about. USB midi is for hooking into a computer, the classic pin connector is generally for hooking into other keyboards and sound modules.
@@spicecrop lol it isn't sarcasm, midi output is pure, similar price range keyboards use usb which introduces loads of latency to the system if you play out of your speakers, doesn't have ASIO and requires a computer to plug it in
If it had been made with a proper LCD screen, pitch and mod wheels, and internal power supply, it would be nearly flawless to me... Would be willing to pay 50-60 USD more for god's sake. I have no idea why designers and/or decision makers cut these kinds of things. I cannot understand. BTW, no need 30pce sounds, 10pce high quality ones would have been fine for this design. I would not miss those organ and guitar sounds.
It's called market segmentation. There are those who have 700€ to spend, then those with 1200€ to spend and then those with 2500€ to spend... their needs and spending power is segmented as well. Anyone professional would go and spend that 2500€ so they get best money can buy with all the whistles, but someone playing at home or accompanying the school choir doesn't really need that now do they? They cut features that professionals and advanced players need to they can sell different price product for different need.
@@Mtaalas The add-ons that I mentioned are really not price pushers... As I said, max 50-60 Euro may be... This is a nice instrument for what it is, I simply express my expectation for its following model :)
basic is good if you want something just to practice on/play around on, and just need good keys since you are using software/other hardware for sounds.
You don't understand. Sometimes you have to sacrifice certain things to obtain others . With this piano you re sacrificing all the bells and whistles however, you are obtaining superior quality sound .
I like this guy. I trust him.

loved it, like if someone licensed if you see her say hello for a soap theme
I can vouch for the RH3 as I have one in my SV-2. Superb feel. This D1 sounds like a great entry point/price.
3:03 Never thought I would cry during a product review :/
It's a shame they failed to record it in stereo
Korg knows how to sell their keyboards. This guy really knows his music.
Great Demo! Can't believe they didn't include Pitch Bend / Mod & USB connect... Would definitely have been worth the extra $ and met my needs perfectly.
Yeah those do sound like strange omissions for something marketed as a midi controller / stage piano
You can buy a midi to usb cable
when he says you can plug it into a midi --> usb audio interface, does that mean the korg d1 can be used as a midi controller?
@@archivedaccount2049 Yes, it is a fully functional MIDI controller. You just need a sound module or audio interface with 5-pin MIDI input.

Factible... I like it
It's easy to go midi to pc.. Done it for ages before usb came to keyboards ..Factible is on the other hand brand new. I will spread the word
Great keybed if you can get one that is not broken?
Meaning?
@@MusicMan121 I ordered one and the keys were broken on arrival. Could be delivery or could be manufacturer defect. But I've ordered pianos through mail and it's never been a problem . I would pass this off as a shipping problem, but when it happens to more people all over the world, I question the manufacturer.
hi. what brand of keyboard amplifier did you use? thank you :)
In this video, we didn't use a keyboard amp. We just had the piano going straight into our UA Apollo interface, so the sound you are hearing in the video is the pure sound of the piano, without any colouring from an amp. Cheers - Murdoch
Why the piano was demo in mono??? Not good..😥
3:24 Hehehe M1
Kawai es110 or this piano. Are the action on both of these piano have the same feels? because i also like the fact that this piano have a rh3 action and ivory feel but the negative thing is that it does not have a speaker. Which one would you recommend more? There is no store in my area by the way to try this piano
I have the same doubts....
I had a Kawai ES110, and replaced it with a Korg G1 (same key action as this D1). The ES110 keys had more bounce, but at the expense of more key noise, and I mean really noticeable thud sound at each press of the keys. But I guess that has more to do with the hollow cavity of the plastic casing of the Kawai not being "damped" enough, unlike the D1's much better enclosure. Also if it matters to you, on slow key press (soft notes) you would notice a bit of resistance point on the Korg like a simulated escapement but it's so slight and Korg doesn't even say it has it. Apart from being generally heavier weighted overall than ES110 keys, that is. But these nuanced things make the Korg key action a lot more realistic subjectively.
I was in the market for a Digital Piano this week and after watching a number of reviews was convinced I would walk away with the Korg! NOT SO! The keyboard on the Korg is EXTREMELY heavy . . . too much so making it actually very difficult to play :( The Roland FP-30 was the one I went for. FAR better feeling than the Korg . . . which really surprised. me.

This DP is the best with DAW and external monitors. Inner sounds are so so. But what to expect for the price? Only great keys. So it's more like a MIDI keyboard with DP features
QUAL E VALOR DO PIANO KORG SEM MÓVEL?
6:38 But do you know boogie woogie ?
Switches mode, *sudden casual grooviness*
it's an SP250 without amplifier ... no sound engine from Kronos .... :( ... why ?
It is NOT an SP-250 without amplifier. The D1 has totally different sounds. I have the D1 now and played the SP-250 before.
Which have better sounds?
Someone know wich keys is lighter: Korg RH3 or Roland PHA-4?
The Roland is lighter. The Korg is more realistic but also has a heavier action
I am also torn with these two keyboard,plese give me some advices
No USB! Yay! Someone is finally moving away from that obsolete standard.
How is USB an obsolete standard? It's still present on Korg's more expensive models.
korg seems to be listening to the musicians: we need proper MIDI connectors.
@@Gamez4eveR It's called sarcasm genius.
Tim Volk not sure what you are talking about. USB midi is for hooking into a computer, the classic pin connector is generally for hooking into other keyboards and sound modules.
@@spicecrop lol it isn't sarcasm, midi output is pure, similar price range keyboards use usb which introduces loads of latency to the system if you play out of your speakers, doesn't have ASIO and requires a computer to plug it in
Eu consigo tocar um piano com pad e abaixar o volume do pad
SV-1 has the RH3.
Jason Walpole Yeah, but it costs three times this one.
wilde77 Yeah, true. This is pretty good value.
Sp250 as well.
@@growtogether Last good Digital Piano of Korg.. That has speakers at least.. On the new ones, we have this D1 or the Grand Stage..
nice but I don't have any idea how to connect it to my radio amp for instance, or must i buy a sort of guitar amplefier ?
The output will be line level, so no preamp is needed. Any Hifi or self amplified speakers with an aux in or line in will work.
How can adjust volume of layers sound?
cant
Use with vst's and get a DAW controller
I'm really dumb but am looking at this keyboard. Does it have speakers? If not, what would I need to connect to it? Thank you.
Either external speakers or headphones.
Fuck the fm and m1 pianos give me more vintage Rhodes. Mk2 Mk5.
no usb lol
Use a midi to usb cable.
Too many M1 pianos
If it had been made with a proper LCD screen, pitch and mod wheels, and internal power supply, it would be nearly flawless to me... Would be willing to pay 50-60 USD more for god's sake. I have no idea why designers and/or decision makers cut these kinds of things. I cannot understand. BTW, no need 30pce sounds, 10pce high quality ones would have been fine for this design. I would not miss those organ and guitar sounds.
It's called market segmentation. There are those who have 700€ to spend, then those with 1200€ to spend and then those with 2500€ to spend... their needs and spending power is segmented as well. Anyone professional would go and spend that 2500€ so they get best money can buy with all the whistles, but someone playing at home or accompanying the school choir doesn't really need that now do they?
They cut features that professionals and advanced players need to they can sell different price product for different need.
@@Mtaalas The add-ons that I mentioned are really not price pushers... As I said, max 50-60 Euro may be...
This is a nice instrument for what it is, I simply express my expectation for its following model :)
pointless.WIth no speakers on its obvious the sound will depend on the amp and speakers.
If you have a good amp for monitors and you should be happy right? You can only tell so much for a RUclips video anyway.
BASIC...............no thanks!!!!!! I think they forgot what year it is. I'll stick with KAWAI.
Which Kawai? I mean the price on this is only 575€ so.... it's not meant to replace those 2000€ stage pianos... not by a long shot.
basic is good if you want something just to practice on/play around on, and just need good keys since you are using software/other hardware for sounds.
You don't understand. Sometimes you have to sacrifice certain things to obtain others . With this piano you re sacrificing all the bells and whistles however, you are obtaining superior quality sound .
Del guerrero Couldn't care less for the sound, all I want is that RH3
all I want is excellent key action and a killer acoustic piano sound; everything extra that the D1 brings is already a wonderful bonus.
