Kraft Music - Yamaha Piaggero NPV80 and NPV60 Demo

[FilippoVicarelli]

Hi, thank you for this demo! I'd like to know if the NPV80 can be used as a master (via USB) and if it does have Main and Variation for each style... thank you!

[Weedens93200]

I want to buy one cause it's cheap and very attractive ! But at 0:50 the sound is very perfect, does it really sound like that ? How did you connect it with your computer for have such a great sound?

[kraftmusic]

@Weedens93200

Glad you enjoyed our video demo. The audio was not treated or processed, just straight out of the NPV headphone jack into the camera. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

Hello my question is if this keyboard midi tracks playing from a normal pen drive USB port

[joeguitaro]

I'm looking to start my 8 year old in piano lessons. I dont want to invest too much just yet, so I'm looking at the NP31, NPV 60 and NPV80. Are they all the same, just with more features/sounds? Is there one you would suggest starting with?

Thanks.

[kraftmusic]

@joeguitaro

Yes, these models are all similar...just with more sounds and features as you move up the line. The NPV60 would be a good place to start...plenty of features, and still quite affordable. Feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

[thejoanedson]

thanks my friend for your answer, I really like the npv80 but now I have been researching the yamaha PSR S550B and I believe an excellent keyboard, I would be your opinion of the for and against the psr npv80 and s550b?

and what would you recommend to buy it. Thank you. regards

[pterodactilo]

I have just begun my piano lessons, and since a piano is too expensive for me I'm looking for a keyboard to practice. I think a model with this will be enough for first or second year. Just two questions: does this support sustain pedal? What about staccato notes? Can this simulate them?

[kraftmusic]

@pterodactilo

Hi,

Thanks for your interest. I would say the Piagerro would be a good student model, although it does not have weighted keys. You'll have many sounds and features to play with. It does support a sustain pedal and will respond to staccato notes. Please feel to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

hola amigo, me gusta mucho este piano pero tengo algunas dudas. por favor si eres tan amable aclaralas. 1.por el puerto usb para pendrive puedo introducir pistas o sonido midi? 2.tendrá entre sus pistas acordeón? 3.de que año es la fabricación de este play, osea cuando fue lanzado al mercado? 4.tiene almacenamiento interno? 5.puedo grabar en el mismo piano. gracias amigo

[kraftmusic]

@thejoanedson

I don't speak Spanish, but I can get the meaning of most what you're asking. I'll take my best guess and answer in English. 1. The NPV80 features a USB to host port (for connecting to a computer) and a USB to device port (for connecting to a flash drive). The NPV60 only has the host port. 2. You will find 3 different accordion sounds in the NPV. 3. Released in 2010. 4. No internal storage 5. Yes, you can record.

Thanks for watching!

You'o answero that'o veryo good'o!

[MotownRockinroller]

I've owned this keyboard (and about 40 others over my career as a professional performer). Here's my quick-take on the NP V60 or 80:

1. The NP series are a LOT like the DGX and YPG Yamahas. They look a little more "professional" but are basically very similar to the silver models in the other two Yamaha lines.

2. The keys, albeit full cut and appearing piano-like, are not heavy or weighted. This plays more like an organ.

3. There's about 100 quality sounds. The rest are crap. Organs suck

[boosuff]

@MotownRockinroller I own a dgx 305 and am researching keyboards for a student ...

your information is very helpful..thank a lot.

[Virgin2004]

USB to Host is fine but what about the fact I cannot connect it directly to a sound module with standard MIDI connectors. Is there any device (except a PC) that I can use to convert USB signal into the standard MIDI one? I think making the piano cheaper and cheaper they forgot very significant option: users have sound modules that sound much better than Yamaha NP V80. I want to use them with Piaggero. Help!

[jimi18032]

How does the NPV60/80 compare to the YPG series keyboards? Would you use the NPV on a live gig?

[jimi18032]

This keyboard sounds great! I have a few questions, though.

Would you consider using this keyboard on a live gig? I currently use a full-size 88 key weighted synth that is becoming too cumbersome to haul around. I'm looking for realistic acoustic piano sounds, electric pianos, strings, organs, etc.

Also, how does this compare to the YPG series keyboards? Until stumbling upon this keyboard I was considering the YPG-235. Now I'm completely undecided!

Thanks!!!

Jim

[zephirusvideos]

If I want to connect this keyboard to an audio system, so not using the keyboard columns, I have just the phones connector or does the keyboard have other interface? If there's only the phones connector, will I get a "bad" sound output?

[kraftmusic]

@zephirusvideos

Hi,

You'll need to use the headphone output of the NPV80. This gives great sound quality, in fact it's how I recorded this video. Keep in mind that when you connect to the headphone jack, you'll mute the on-board speakers. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

[zephirusvideos]

@kraftmusic Thanks Dave!!! Your answers here have been of great help. I think I will choose this keyboard but just to make sure, I'm not a professional, just want a keyboard to have fun but at the same time, one that gives me some sound quality. With this in mind, is there any other option that would do the same or similar? Before this one, I saw the Yamaha NP-31 that is 95€ cheaper. Is the difference worth? Thanks again!!!

[kraftmusic]

@zephirusvideos

Hi,

I think the extra sounds and features of the NPV80/NPV60 make it well worth the extra money. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions.

[ickomusic]

@zephirusvideos I watched a billion videos, and I read a hundred reviews, so could you tell me, does it have WEIGHTED KEYS? :D thanks

[kraftmusic]

@ickomusic

No, the Piagerros do not have weighted keys. They use what Yamaha calls a semi-weighted feel, closer to a synth or an organ. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

[AlyssaLMPenney]

I'm primarily an acoustic piano player, and am moving out of home soon and need something to take with me.

Most important is the feel and sound of the original piano sound itself, I'm not too concerned or interested in the extra tracks. You said this one does have weighted keys, yes? Also very important is affordability.

Would you recommend this digital piano, or is there something you feel better?

[kraftmusic]

@AlyssaLMPenney

Thanks for your interest. The NPV80 and NPV60 do not have weighted keys. You'd probably want to look at Yamaha's P95 digital piano or, for an upgraded action, the P155 digital piano. Feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

can i play heavy metal music with it??

[LaikanitaX3]

Does someone know what´s the difference between NPV80 and NPV60?

Also, which one is better or which one you preffer?

Thanks! :D

[kraftmusic]

@LaikanitaX3

Hi,

The NPV80 and NPV60 are very similar instruments. The NPV80 has a few more sounds, on-board arpeggiator, and simulated wood end caps. Feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

[RealyExcitingTv]

@kraftmusic and V80 has USB - to device...

[jasonkneil]

Hi, Which keyboard would you recommend. The Piaggero NP-V80, or the DGX-640 Digital Piano. I play in a band and so the quality of the sounds are pretty important to me, and so are some of the features. The weight doesn't bother me too much, because I know Yamaha like to boast how light weight this NP-V80 is. Thanks, any help is appreciated.

[kraftmusic]

Thanks for your interest. I would say the sound quality on the NPV80 would be pretty comparable to the DGX640. These are both considered portable keyboards with a wide variety of sounds. If you're primarily a piano player and would like a weighted key action, the DGX640 would be a good choice. Otherwise, I'd go with the NPV80 for it's light weight and portability. Thanks for watching!

[jasonkneil]

@kraftmusic Thanks for the reply. The keys on the NP-V80 are Graded, but not weighted. Is that right? And also could I ask for your personal opinion on the two. Thanks, much appreciated.

[kraftmusic]

Yes, it's a "Graded Soft Touch" action on the NPV80, so the non-weighted action gets progressively stronger as you move down the keyboard. If you are accustomed to the feeling of a piano, you would probably want an instrument with weighted keys.

[imonyourfacewoot]

I love this keyboard :)

[pro5896]

Can I use it as a MIDI-controller?

Can I use it with FL studio?

Is it good for trance music?

[niahaa]

EVERYONE is talking about the USB to device, but NOBODY is talking about the USB to host... Please, tell me : Can I record from the "usb-to-host" to my computer ?

[kraftmusic]

Yes, there is a USB to host port on the back of the instrument. You can use this port to send MIDI data from your NPV to your computer. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

[Lanaa75]

Hello! i have a question...

is it possible to let the sound of the piano come out of other boxes...

I dont really know how to explain..

that you can put something in the piano so the sound comes out the sound system we have at home...

do you understand what i mean? and if you do, please answer!

xx

[kraftmusic]

Yes, you can plug the NPV80 or NPV60 into any sound system by using the headphone output. You'll just need the correct adapter/cable. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

Ive noticed you've said this keyboard can be used as a MIDI controller, today i got the NPV80 and i can't find any MIDI in/out ports. How can i record music as MIDI data to my computer? Thanks

[LeMarsu4]

@Kraftmusic - I was wondering is the Yamaha Piagerro NPV80 compatible with Apple's GarageBand software?

[remixtin]

Hello, I would like to know the differences between NPV80 and NPV60, also, do they come with midi output??

[MitrovskiMilos]

hello, i have one question

Is filing like you play on real piano, keys are hard? i meand when you press it slow, sound is slow, when you press it hard, sound is hard? ( is this call grade piano soft? ) or its like play for ex on korg pa 50, keys are easy to press, and its hard to make diference with hard and soft sound ? please answer to me, tnx you very much :)

[kraftmusic]

Hi,

I think you're asking if the keys are velocity or touch sensitive. The answer is yes...the harder you hit the keys, the louder the sound will be. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

Hi, do you do do international delivery, to UK, I been to your website, you have very good cheap prices and good package deals which the UK don't offer?

If you don't would you consider, shipping it the UK for extra S&H fees.

[kraftmusic]

Sorry, our dealer agreement with Yamaha prohibits us from shipping orders outside the United States. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

Is this keyboard weighted key ?

thanks

[kraftmusic]

Hi,

Thanks for your interest in Kraft Music and the Yamaha NPV80 and NPV60. These instruments do not feature a fully weighted key action, but they do have a graded semi weighted feel. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

[nano4live]

Hi

Is it true that the NPV60 has no Arpeggio function, but a touch respons button??

Are that the only differences? (excepts the ones you mentioned to TheAwesomBrian)

[kraftmusic]

Yes, you are correct. the NPV80 features the Arpeggio function, and the NPV60 does not. The NPV60 and NPV80 have the same capability for touch response settings, but the NPV60 has a dedicated button to change the touch response. To change touch response in the NPV80, you just have to enter the main menu. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.
