Wow!!! The new Yamaha CP88 & CP73 keyboards sound amazing!! Love the CFX grand and electric piano sounds..very authentic and rich sounding. Can't wait to get my hands on one when they hit the stores.
Now this is a stage piano, Yamaha! The CP4 had great piano and EP sounds, but it was severely lacking in the UI department. This, however, is exactly what I was hoping to see as a successor to the CP4. I think a stage piano should have the capability of being able to modify and change sounds with very little effort, and this definitely does that! This is very reasonably priced as well, especially compared to the Nord pianos. The only thing I’d like to hear more in these demos is a good representation of the how the strings and pads sound by themselves, and when layered with the pianos. Great work guys! I will be buying one.
Hell yeah! Yamaha woke up finally! I swear for Kronos, but that's the piano I'm going to buy, definitely! Pity, that a 76 version has different keyboard than 88.
Wow this is amazing. I just got a Yamaha mx88. Over 1000 voices, it's an amazing Piano for 999$, Keybed is great, sound quality from the Motif awesome, looks like another keyboard I'd gonna be in the works soon. I need this CP88!
A Yamaha dessa vez acertou bem neste novo CP. Tudo na mão, timbres ótimos e controles descomplicados. Muitas possibilidades de combinações de sons. A concorrência que se cuide.
What a sound and wonderfully played in a variety of styles demonstrating the versatility of this fantastic instrument. Maybe I'll find the money for one eventually!
Of all the Electric Pianos I have owned Roland, Yamaha, Kurzweil, Kawai, and Korg Keyboards... For me... Yamaha makes the best action feel and acoustic sound hands down!
@@YamahaSynthsOfficial How are the organ sounds? Never great with Yamaha> Are they better than the CP4 ? I know there are only a few organs available in the CP88. The CP 4 had 50 and only 2 were usable. Please respond.
@@Nightworkband The organs are just basic samples in the CP88 it seems. sounds as dull as any Clavinova has done for the last 2-3 decades. I thaught Yamaha just took the same engines and made 2 different instruments in the CP88 and YC-61 models, but from what I've heard of the YC-61 demos, Yamaha finally pulled the fingers, head and toes out of some dark place and designed a quality single board clonewheel. I am a satisfied owner of a Mojo61 wich is one of the best single board clonewheels you can get right now, but i am very impressed with what I have heard of demoes of the YC-61. You will have to go for that if you want decent organs. It has some of the same pianos, e-pianos and other samples as Yamahas other boards and what looks to be a quality in house Yamaha built waterfall keybed. Can't wait to try it out when it becomes available this summer. If its as good as it looks to play I personly think ts gonna be a total Nord Electro killer and sounds as good as the best clonewheels out there. Nord had a good Organ sound when they came out, but most clonewheels have caught up and today sounds better than the Nords wich have utter horrible non modded Fatar keybeds that feels like a cheap kids toy keyboard to play on. And only thing I kinda miss in my Mojo61 is the posibility to have both an organ sound and piano sound split or stacked and some user presets. Its different engines sounds good, but its one engine at a time, and the YC-61 have more sounds kinda like the Electro, and I hope that Yamaha will come with some updates so you can load samples from their vast library of AWM Motif/Tyros/Montage/modx/Genos library. But it seems Yamaha have woken up and started to listen to their custommers about several features they felt people didn't need from the old Motif line wich plus aditionally new nice features to their Montage/Modx/Genos has finally come available that would propably have made me choose a Montage over a Kronos, if it had been available when the Montage launched. ANd they have added new sounds to the CP88 with every system update, so I have hopes that Yamaha is moving the right way again. Todays keyboards are going to have to be more open ended with regular feature updates if they are gonna stay competitive against computers and VST plugins. The days of static keyboards and modules wich cost you 3-4 grand every second year when a new model arives is over
Jag tror att hans fru kommer tycka att ett Nordpiano 4 är snyggare. och darren Wayes kommer bli helnöjd med att tvingas köpa ett Svensk tillverkat digitalpiano i toppklass. (synd att stora kapitalstarka Yamaha väljer att försöka konkurrera bort lilla clavia nord bolaget. med att kopiera designen rakt av.)
Jeg er faktisk til dels enig med deg, men er det en ting som Nord behøver å gjøre så er det å forbedre tangentene på sine keyboard. Her er de faktisk milevis bak Yamaha, og vil fortsette å være langt bak helt til de bestemmer seg for å lage tangenter in-house og slutte med fatar. Jeg har selv et Nord Stage 3, og mens jeg elsker både lyden og funksjonaliteten så savner jeg tangentene på Yamaha Motif (som jeg akkurat har solgt). Jeg tror dette må være akilles-hælen til Clavia.
While it might be true that "nothing beats a real piano", real pianos have become so expensive that most people don't have a chance at owning a high end one. This is a great substitute.
I'm so happy I discovered this, was about to get a nord but the CP88 is so much better / more aesthetic with great electric piano patches andddd is way less expensive
@@analogearthquake1984 Which Nord? This is a Nord Piano or Electro competitor. For me Yamaha gives much more support in sales process and maintainance at most countries...
CP 88 is really nice; but I din't think it is a Nord Piano killer. Yamaha of course will limit their acoustic piano sounds to Yamaha and Bosendorfer, while Nord has no such commitment or limitation. The Rhodes on the CP 88 sounds terrific! So does those on the Nord Piano. The pianos on the Nord sound a bit more dynamic. IMO what the CP 88 has going for it in comparison to the Nord Piano is keybed, audio over usb, and the price.
I really love Yamaha digital pianos. I love the feedback you get from even their lower end keyboards. And they aren't pieces of crap that sound good for 4 months then bust a key or two from normal pounding. or worse, have the whole keybed get noisy.
I really enjoy this new philosophy of live performance oriented products! I hope for joystick istead of the wheels for the synth and more memory. It would be also great to have a pre-installed live setting for the master eq to have the instruments ready for a PA system (I've to adjust a lot the settings moving from the studio to the gig). Anyway, Great product!
This piano blows Nord off the map. Nord sounds good but, the worst ever action for a stage piano ever. This CP88 plays like a real acoustic piano, it is incredible. A game changer.
NEED IT!!!! Gave up my Roland rd 800 a while back because it was extremely heavy and awkward to move and it sounded more and more artificial the longer I played it. I think this one will do nicely.
well, i found an "authentic open box" with a 2 year warranty for a couple hundred less than list, so I pulled the trigger. We shall see! I'm more a pianist than an effects guy, but I wanted something where down the road, I can grow with this.
it's a Dminor11. Play a D minor open voicing in the left hand, and a C major in the right. From bass to treble: D A F G C E. Sound so juicy because it's coming from Eb major which isn't exactly related.
@@thekindlyfriend I'm hearing a Cm7 to Fm progression, with triads ascending, then descending in the harmony of the Eb scale in the right hand: C in the bass and G Bb Eb, Ab C F, Bb Eb G in RH, then F in bass with C F Ab, Bb Eb G, Ab C F in the RH.
I had such high hopes for this board. The piano sounds and ep sounds and really all the sounds are top of the line . The controls are what I have been waiting for years ,but I am a piano/ keyboards slash left hand bass player. While this board exceeds the pianos and eps and a few pads and brass sounds. It fails in the bass sound department. One electric bass, one acoustic bass, and a very poor thin synth bass sound. No slap bass no alternate electric bass sound. Yamaha went to a lot of trouble to put an awesome control panel, but left out the sounds . There have been a few updates but still no new bass sounds. I know you can play sounds from the virtual library but unless someone can show me otherwise, you can't download those sounds from the library which means having an external sound source. Which defeats my purpose of having a 73 key weighted action board that is light and doesn't take up much room in my vehicle.. I am looking at the yc 73 which has more of the bass sounds and a few others I need, but it is considerably more money.. I have a cp 40 now , if Yamaha had put all of the sound in the cp 40 into the cp 73. along with the sounds already in the 73. I would have my board.
Most of the EPs are kind of heavy on the vibrato - I hope it can be reduced or turned off. I played the CP88 and I love the action a lot. Very realistic piano feel, just a tiny bit on the light side, which I like.
I just heard the S6 from the S90sx. I actually like it better than the S700. Would love to see it in.a future update. Maybe another upright or 2 as well.

This is why I am a Yamaha fan. Btw kudos to whoever's playing.

The CP4(400+ sounds) still has way more sounds than the CP88(I think 57 sounds). And same keybed,not sure if I will upgrade!
