These are actually digital pianos, not keyboards or synthetizers. So why do we not hear the piano sound, which is the main purpose of these instruments
Technically, a digital piano is a type of keyboard, and so is a synth. It is weird that the video doesn't showcase any of the acoustic piano sounds though
I think is most important to listen the main sound of these instruments. I don't buy a new piano thinking on a pad or strings sound. Remotely, I can be thinking on a piano + pad effect, no more.
Both are 88 keys, come with basic sustain pedal, in either black or white and the Kawai also in grey. The Kawai has two Bluetooth (BT) interoperabilities: audio playback by the piano or MIDI. The Yamaha has no BT. The Kawai supports an add-on three pedal unit that uses optical sensors. For wired MIDI both offer USB only. Both have mid-range keys with two sensors per key and no escapement mechanism. The sound engine in both cases offers 192 notes polyphony. The Yamaha has 24 "sounds" and the Kawai one more. Both have a sampling based digital engine - the quality of sampling does not have to be less than a so-called modeled virtual piano, though. It's a matter of the amount of samples and their recording precision and appropriateness combined with smart techniques to make switches between samples disappear in playback. Today, sampling just means that we start with larger volumes of data and potentially still a lot of processing. Development of a modeling instrument starts with samples too, but these are converted into formula descriptions from an extrapolation/interpolation of the samples - call it data compression. In playback the parameters that the modeling can facilitate are fed into a model and then playback ensues, recreating the original samples but potentially at a volume that was never physically recorded. A sampling based virtual piano does that extrapolation in real time. Both Kawai and Yamaha have gone to great length to encapsulate - consequently reproduce - some of their best acoustic instruments in these tiny keyboards with tiny speakers that certainly will not physically be able to make the lowest octave sound like the real thing. But they will make you think of that octave ;) I guess they are about between 0.75K and 1K in Western currencies.
As far as I know, the P-125a is NOT an upgrade to the P-125, but a downgrade. It's the same as the P-125 except for its lack of a built-in audio interface in its USB to Host port and lack of an audio in port. This makes the P-125a's USB to Host port only able to send MIDI data, unlike the old P-125 which is capable of sending MIDI data _and_ audio. So if you want to record the P-125a's built-in sounds, then you will have to plug it into a separate audio interface using an audio cable. You also can't stream audio into the P-125a because there's no audio in port, so you can't play backing tracks through its speakers.
Well, I've tried those brands of keyboards, and that's why I made the comment, I don't need to refer to any brand in the derogatory way that you comment, maybe your criteria is biased according to your preferences
@@Sci-Fi-THC You are right, well, leaving aside the misunderstanding, try to compare them according to their level in category, so you will see the differences and the similarities according to the cost of the product! Cheers

I may be the only one that looking at this kind of video/shorts😅
For future purposes

I was also hoping to hear the piano sound on both these keyboards, the Yamaha was very 'synthy' sounding.

Es lo malo de lo Shorts, ponen cualquier cosa para "llamar"
U presented them as 25 key midi keyboard
for introduction one must play a classical thing because the essence of this machine is PIANO but not a simple synth
I have 3 questions, are they 88 keys, are the keys weighted and how much do they cost

Hate it when someone demos an organ on a piano....Therees a reason there are keyboards made for that, with drawbars
Those are rlly nice! 😮❤
horrible video not demonstrating core piano sound😵💫

Sem dúvida de que o kawai, é superior, ao Yamaha p125.😅😅😅😅😅
a very cool synthesizer I also have a yamaha
The roland fp30x is better, the kawai es120 is overpriced
Sounds good, but I prefer Casio brand keyboards

@@andresmauriciosuarezbarrer4030 that’s true didn’t mean disrespect but I tried the Roland and I’m in love

I would deffo get a Casio but it's not the best for harder classical pieces since their keys get stiff near the keybed
Yes Casio keyboard not a piano 😂
