Got the Korg B2 for a year now, coming from Yamaha Psrs from 20 years ago, coming also from arturia midi keyboards and for a beginner like me, the B2 is perfect for all events, whether band practice, practising and recording in a DAW. Now my psrs are retired with the midi keyboard because this can do everything with my PC.
To my ears the Korg B2 sounds much better, I would have to try them on my hands for a final decision.
Facts
Better samples yes, but both sound like studio recordings with poor resolution. Earlier I listened to DP's up to 3k and nothing sounded close to an acoustic, though some tried harder than others, and price didn't guarantee a better sound. As you say, pick the one you like based on feel, not sound necessarily.
In reality non
In RUclips yeah✌️
@@circedge speakers will suck on most of those, they didn't "sound like acoustic pianos" based on their shoddy internal speakers or did you give them a listen with something like a Sennheiser HD650?
@@Jason75913 Some of those have line outs though, so it's not a speaker issue alone. In the case of some of them, I suppose they might not want to hurt their cloud sample sales, but not all of them have that excuse. I'd say the 90's had some convincing piano samples, even modules dedicated solely to that, but somehow we've regressed in quality in 30 years.
Thanks for the vid
Really underrated channel
I'm a learner and I trained on both. During lessons I play on a real piano. The feeling of keys are much closer to real piano on P45 than on B2. Keys on B2 are very heavy, which helps to improve strength with fingers. But there is nothing like feeling the strings under the keys on the P45, like real piano.
all digital pianos have keys more light than a real piano, so digital pianos like b2 or cdps 100 are close to real piano cause the keys are heavy than others
@@mateusmnps1 hey you! Thanks for your comment.
Though, in my humble opinion, the feeling on a P45 is much more realistic than on the B2 😉
P-45 is great. If it was good enough for Chick Corea, it’s good enough for you lol I actually own one now. Recently moved, and wanted to simplify my setup until I can get a nicer cabinet digital piano for use in my living room. So, I sold both my CP4 Stage and Montage 8 along with a couple of pairs of HS8’s. I thought I would really miss the higher quality of the CP4 samples, triple sensor wooden keys and more advanced editing options. Honestly, I love the fact that this turns on in less than a second, still sounds beautiful enough to enjoy and practice, the GHS action feels as good as all but the most expensive digitals, it has no cable management mess behind it, and none of the constant distractions of 5-band EQ, preamp, split/layer, dozens of voices, resonance and effects settings etc.
That being said, there are things I wish could be better, such as the Rhodes sample. I also agree that these have been selling for several years without an update. I can think of several small updates that should be cost effective but might sacrifice the fast startup time, or maybe push the price too high due to additional memory requirements.
Chick Corea used a p45?
I love the sound of the P45. And own one. It may not have as many bells and whistles but sound makes up for it.
Suara P45 lebih nyaman ditelinga..
Got myself a used p45 for 260$
Couldn't be happier :D
Hmmm what's the first keyboard that you both started on? Small memories I think
What is the name of this music that you played?
What is that beautiful song you are playing? It is haunting
When is the p125 getting an update this year?
Trying the korg i feel the keys are very linear and mushi, i honestly didn't really like it...
Didn't try the p45 enough to know if it's better
I understand who already has a p45 and defends it, but if we have listened carefully to what the Boss said about polyphony we realize why the KORG B2 sounds decidedly better than the Yamaha p45...(and then by ear hears):-)
Quite critical of newbies id say try to be pleasant to those on a budget..as it doesn't mean they are not motivated. Really appreciate otherwise.I have an older Motif XF
P-125 brutally slaughters any synth workstation at piano sound, even all the Motifs. And it is not even the flagship portable stage piano.
P-45 is not that great, but definitely good enough for the price.
I honestly wanted to like the Korg more, but other than one or tow of Korgs piano sounds which were just as good (or maybe even slightly better), I thought the Yamaha won most of the sound shootouts (EP's, strings, ect). I don't think the Korg sounds bad, especially for the price, just not quite as good as the Yamaha here. If it weren't for the fact that I've hear a number of people complain about problems with the P45 and P125's having issues when being used as a midi controller (one of the primary applications that I will be using it for) , I would definitely be buying one of these if it was just based on sounds.
I played both pianos for approximately two years and I had the B2 first. When I switched to P45 I immediately noticed the difference; the B2 is better and I missed it a lot. What they said about polyphony and sustain is true, the B2 is a much better experience in terms of sound and playing.
My question, are the keyboards using their built-in speakers or plugged into a keyboard amp ?
They are recording the line-outs instead of mic'ing the rubbish onboard speakers or any others. Line-outs will render the best sound for demonstrations (by a massive margin) and eliminate the need for the extra equipment necessary to record speaker sound.
Keyboard amps are bad memes. Keyboards need regular full-range PA speakers.
P45 sound's ah bit more sharp and raw 💥✨

I've been happy with my P45 honestly, but I play quite casually
Just curiosity, what piano do both of you have at home?
I have a Kawai GX-2 in Cherry!
DGX-660
Now you know why I work at Alamo Music Center!!!
Going to the store to make my final decision between these tomorrow, this video could not be more timely
Which one did you choose?
For christ sake what did you choose?
WHAT DID YOU CHOOSE!
I use the P45 for many years and it was a great choice for every step of my learning.
For practice , it boots up immediately and you can start practicing.
The sounds , i never cared , because it can be used as a midi keyboard and you can "upgrade" the sound as much as you want. .which leaves us to the action , and that is the most important one .
Its great for every level.
That is why I don't upgrade .
I could spend 1500-2000 for better sounds , but instead , i purchased VSTs for 500 . No one will notice.
If you need pitch/ mod wheels , aftertouch , onboard EQs and more sounds , then its not for you . ( Although you could just get another 49-61 keyboard to have those features. Still cheaper).
Hey There! Can you just brief how do I use vsts in the yamaha p45? And do i get the output of the external tones in the inbuilt speakers itself or external audio output? It would be a great help if you just guide me. Even I do want to play some high quality grand piano sounds in p45.
@@Dxrshu hello there ! No problem.
You can use the p45 as a midi keyboard. Which means , connecting to a computer and use it to control virtual instruments. You connect it via the USB B to usb A to the computer/ laptop and hear through its output i.e headphones , its speakers or external speakers connected to the computer or audio interface ( optional ). The p45 has no option to load vsts or any sound in that matter onboard.
Now , about VSTs , there are standalone virtual instruments ( for example , on the desktop and you can open them and play ) or as plugins to use in a DAW. For example, i use standalone VSTs ( which can be used in a DAW too ) like pianoteq and addictive keys. I mute the volume on the p45 and only hear through the computer as mentioned above.
Hope that helps.
@@demetriuspaschalides4622 Thank you for you precious reply brother. I do use fl studio, but m not getting grand piano sample which resembles same sound as a grand stage, also i don't want my audio output in external speakers
@@Dxrshu but again, its not possible to load then ONBOARD the p45 if that's your goal.
@@demetriuspaschalides4622 yaa😭❤️
Didn’t know George Carlin knew so much about pianos
Hahaha
Yamaha P- 145 Yamaha P - 125A What is better?
Hell yea Ted and pat, top doggies
Just came after ordering my P45…
Hope I made the best decission!
How are you liking it?
I can say I couldn’ t be happier.
It is important to mention that I am currently learning, but I am sure I will have a great instrument for years and years, without need of upgrade it.
The feeling while playing is professional, as good as the sound, from my honest point of view.
It could look a bit simple at the first sight, but there is plenty of settings you can make by reading the user manual.
@@truffott that’s awesome!!
My 5 years old son has started learning Piano and I have been offered to buy P45 or Korg second hand at $250. I have zero knowledge about Pianos so which one should I buy?
My son has been playing the piano since he was 8 (he's 16 now) and we've gone through several electronic pianos. If you want an easy to use piano (no weighed keys) the Yamaha PSR-EW310 is quite economical and it's a great beginner piano will lots of extras. I also recommend the semi-weighed Roland:Go Keys which also has many things young (aspiring) musicians will enjoy. After many years we're upgrading from a Williams Allegro III to the Korg B2 as I believe it has all the features my son needs to play as a serious pianist. If I had the room I wouldn't hesitate on getting a real baby-grand piano, but for now I think the Korg B2 will meet our needs. I hope this helps.
Whichever, P45 or B2. Skip the ladder climbing the other gent mentions. And they can fetch nice prices on resale later when you want to upgrade for any reason.
Korg. Have much more softer sound
Can you also compare with Roland FP 10?
Roland is daddy of these both😅
The Roland is an upgrade, also more expensive. P-125 is the model that competes with the Roland FP10 and FP30X. Competes and loses by a bit, lol, but many folks pick up P-125 or a Roland as their first piano or as a rehearsal/practice piano or whatever else. Excellent choices, in any event.
@@akash_bn Clicky keys on Roland
As I understand it, the P45 does NOT have USB Audio capabilities, only MIDI. Whereas the B2 has both USB audio and midi, eliminating the need for any kind of interface. That's a big advantage in my books. Also, the B2 has much better speakers.
Good video, thanks! However, a terribly analogy of freezing in a cheap sleeping bag vs learning to play a piano. No one ever risked their physical safety by giving up on playing the piano. Just saying. To the naked ear, the Korg sounds richer than the Yamaha... even just on my Macbook speakers.
I have no idea why but for some reason I've never warmed to either the Yamaha sound or feel in digital pianos despite it being well regarded.
Edit: I have a Kawai at home. Still like the sound and feel of Kawai probably best but like Roland, Nord more than Yamaha in general.
Same, I’m a beginner and so far have not leaned towards the Yamaha’s neither. I tried a couple of Korg’s today at a local music shop, was very impressed with the sound. One was a Korg B2 and the other I think was a Korg C1! Liked the sound and feel of both!
Korg !
La sensibilidad del korg es mejor, y en cuanto al sonido de piano es mas parecido a un piano real, yamaha suena muy bien pero suena mas a teclado que a un piano electrico
piano digital =/= piano eléctrico
@@Jason75913En diferentes términos pero son lo mismo
Лично я бы выбирать Роланд если учиться играть на цифровом пианино .
The korg sounds cooler
Yamaha P45 is better
Good review shtty piano piece... I would've prefer some elron john song...
Ямаха последнии выпуски ( модели )звучат круто для эстрады . Другие мне не нравятся . Корг чисто для космических звуков и Роланд . А также Роланд для классических произведений играть .
