I work on a psych unit and did a fundraiser for them for my 30th birthday. And this is what we used the funds on ❤️ So many of my patients have wanted a piano/keyboard and I present it to them on my birthday on Monday. Fingers crossed!
This is so sweet to hear! I’ve been admitted to a psych unit several times and remember one hospital had an upright piano I played that helped me and others feel at ease there. So this is a wonderful gift for your unit 💜
Why beginner’s? What if I am an advanced pianoplayer looking for a 61-keys keyboard with good action and to interact with my DAW? Preferably not one that eats batteries for lunch.
hi there! online it says this keyboard can be connected to an external audio system however i notice u didnt mention this in ur review? - i'm a little inexperienced with keyboards but im trying to get one to gig with, and i need to know whether this keyboard, which seems amazing!, would be able to connect to speakers or PA systems etc? thanks !
@@nickvledder Go to last C - press the metronome and strike the key you want to play in at same time, right before the last C - or to lower the key, say 3 half steps, you'd be on A. I'm no expert and just learned myself, so feel free to correct me.

@@nemanjamarjanovic3839 I think it means she is requesting a video on "how to transpose on this keyboard" as the manual is confusing. If you're asking what transposing is I suggest google that's what I used to learn what that meant. ;)
Is it possible to use the built in speakers when I plug headphones? I’m asking because if I have a small gig I want to be able to use the built in speakers to monitor myself and still plug to a small PA system.
If I get this keyboard, can use this as a midi keyboard or just run all my sounds through ableton live??? Cause before this whole pandemic happened I passed by guitar center looking for a new midi controller/auxiliary... I just happened to see this keyboard on sale... the internal sounds are okay but the feel of it is what really got to me... so before purchasing this I just wanna know if I can run all my sounds through ableton 10 on it. Also, just wondering, is this semi weighted, weighted, or velocity sensitive???
Yes, you can use it for that! I just bought the bigger version of this a couple weeks ago, the piagerro NP32. I use it for both learning piano as well as composing music. And for both, I use it pretty much exclusively as a MIDI controller. Although the built in sounds are decent, yeah its more fun to use plug-ins/vsts. I use ez keys with studio piano, which uses recordings from a Steinway. Sounds like I got a 10k piano in my home studio now! It's a fully functional MIDI keyboard with excellent, velocity sensitive keys. It works great for electronic music especially. I record in studio one and I've used ableton in the past. You do have to buy a USB cable for it (its MIDI over USB, doesn't have actual midi outs, but works just as good). Its one of those square ones a lot of audio devices use. They're only about 8 bucks on Amazon. Definitely buy the power cord for it, too. You power it on to use the MIDI (USB does not provide power to the keyboard). And just turn the volume on the keyboard to zero when you're using USB and don't want to hear the sound coming out of the piano.
Edward Boot wait so when I run all my sounds through ableton right... will it play through the speakers itself on the keyboard?? Or do I have to get a jack and connect it to a speaker?
@@Shikamaru1873 Hi! Did you find out? I think I wanna buy this one but I'm very interested in the speakers since I like to record myself on camera singing and playing. Thank's!
@@edwardboot3431 sounds like you know your stuff. I don’t. I’m gonna get one of these but it sounds like I need to buy a power cords and a MIDI to USB cord. If you would be as kind as to guide me how to get that 10k Steinway sound out of her I’d be forever greatful.
I just got this keyboard a few weeks ago and I’m not sure if I just got a defective one but it makes an ugly clicking noise whenever I press the keys. It sounds like I’m playing with long nails but mine are short as I also play guitar and can’t have long nails for that. Any suggestions? Should I return it or get it replaced?
what is a key’s width? most of the time the keys width on compact keyboards have smaller keys compared to a piano or digital piano and that messes up with my fingers
Great review, thanks. Looking for options on midi controllers (usb powered, no sounds just ok), but really looking for the semi weighted keys and the quality of digital pianos. Was also hoping for something compact as this (61 keys). Any other option matching these? The perfect set would be this one with no sounds, usb powered. Thanks a lot in advance.
@@kionmusic1494 Thanks for prompt reply. It's just a light hobby for me, so I just do logic pro and a basic focus rite (scarlett usb) interface. So wanted a quality keyboard to play/learn/midi record on a compact keyboard that feels good (not cheap plastic with weird wight). Thanks again
@@maurodiaz1393 I would suggest you should go with Alesis v49 ( midi keyboard)it has great features for key velocity and drum pads are also fun to play
@Jonathan LaPointe i did try but it didn't work for some reason. also i don't like to jam it in all the way because i am afraid it might get stuck. should i force it in and jam it like really forcefully?
If you look up the manual it details all the features for transposing key and octave and a bunch of other stuff. It's too hard to explain verbally, you need to see the diagrams.
Can you tell me what the model is for the music rest is for the yamaha np12. I just bought one to learn. But it doesn't have the must rest attachment. IS there a name or model for it so i can find it?
@Trekz dumb question, but i have seen people have different sounds from their keyboards like the video "Famous EDM Piano and Synth Riffs" where he has multiple different types of sound but how do i do it on my NP-12 hooked up to my pc?
The piano is terrible. Received it a week ago, sound is great, but you can barely play it because of how light the keys are! The keys really are way too light, making it impossible to play scales and complexe or easy pieces. Do not buy...
Nobody mentions that this product doesn’t come with the power supply and it needs to be from Yamaha and no other brands. Also you didn’t mention anything about the usb connection. Just the same shit review everywhere else
Yes! It has a USB B port. So you need a 'USB B to USB C' cable to connect it to your laptop. If you want to connect it to a phone/tablet you need an additional 'USB C to lighting' cable.

That's a great idea. There is definitely need for music in psychiatric facilities. I really hope it went over well.

Can I transfer audio files via Bluetooth to Samsung phone?

Yes, you can just connect it to ac adapter.

does this come with sustain pedal ?

to compare NP12 and NP11 , is the width of the keys the same?......thanks
I think it has the same physical characteristics, but the piano sound in the NP12 is much better, in the NP11 they were very old
Where do I transpose? I got the piano today and I don’t see how to transpose.

He probably ran a 1/4 inch cable from the audio jack on the back of the piano into an audio interface or mixer hooked up to his computer.
Not weighted keys like P-Series?
sadly no
Where is the headphone jack? I have been looking for a long time for the jack but still cannot find it

Joyce mine doesn’t do that, and I’ve had it for two years. So it may possibly be defective.

Speakers are in the WRONG PLACE....making the whole rig too long! So much for having a shorter 61 key, keybed!
Exactly, I thought the same. Any other digital piano with 61 keys you recommend looking at?
