Yamaha CP-50

[EricDB007]

Holy fuck this is my first day with this board and must say it's awesome. The feel of the keyboard makes me totally not regret going with a more affordable mm8 or same-priced but more feature packed mox8.  It's a pain in the ass at first and not totally intuitive and the manual sucks but editing effects and changing between all the sounds is easy after you dig in for a day. Playing with hammer strike positions and effects on the Rhodes has been heaven. :D

You guys do piano demos than you drum ones.

I waaaaaaaant

[Helvete38]

I don't know if it's a good idea to buy it, I have one question :

I love symphonic music, so to make my songs I must have a harpsichord, church's organs and chorus (priest style), it has already great acoustic piano and strings for this, good ! But I can't buy it if i'm not sur it has the things remaining above.

Please someone can tell me if this keyboard has those instuments ? In the doubt I can't buy this I think you understand.

Thanks you for answering me, it's vital !

[TheMorphrick]

@Helvete38 Of course it has that voices. However you need to go to a Yamaha Store and prove it yourself.

[EricDB007]

@Helvete38 Has all the sounds you need, but ill admit the pipe organs arent that great. They're usable but they really lack that powerful magestic sound. I love the pianos in it so im more than happy with it though. The harpsichords I think are pretty good, and the clav is ok. Hammonds are bad.There's some decent synth bass/synth pads and leads too. Strings sound classy enough, good string machine sound too. There's 200 some sounds in it its got all the bases covered without being overkill.

@EricDB007

OK thank you very much for your answer !

[bibbisbibbis]

I gotta say, the quick-demo you are giving of all those sounds is EXCELLENT!

It's interesting and fast-paced! :)

[bibbisbibbis]

Hi there!

Have you made an english video/text review of this piano?

[DoomCity202]

Yamaha makes quality instruments.

You dont have to worry about your screen blinking for the next 5 years at least

It will continue to do what it was meant to do for a good while.

I'm getting the Cp33 after about 2 weeks searching for a weighted controller.

Have to go with a piano if you want good hammer action under $1000 with

lasting quality.

I cant wait.

[yukio321]

what stand are you using?

[pedecia]

I have been watching keyboards and digital pianos for a month now and nothing cached my interest! The expensive clavinova, P155, P95, P85.... but for this I am in love! So beautifully made! Looks amazing and sound even better.

[00DirectorsCut00]

yep.. he's also saying : cry a lot and your parents will buy to you one of this :D

[andreicamataru]

the old models far better then this.....cp 300 its much better! the sound its like the mo 8.....to digital for my taste!

[TheEagleOfTheNight]

i want this piano



[Angel94angel94]

I love this demo just because he didn't play the usual idiot pop banal song in the intro.

[ThatsABiggon]

Okay, can someone please explain the logic of Yamaha designing a stage piano that has only one acoustic piano, one Rhodes, & over 150 useless & poor sounding crap patches & stupid pointless features like backing tracks? Then they charge $200 more for it than their least expensive workstation, which at least has multiple piano & Rhodes samples, extensive editing, & quality sounds that fit into genres people actually play! I would never pay more than $600 for this joke.

[ThatsABiggon]

The Casio PX-3 is the only board this thing is fit to compete with & that’s only $799 almost $1000 less. Sure it has one nice piano, buy a V-Machine, Keyperformer, & a PX130 or KX8, & you'll blow this thing away. Do the research, people.

[tyleryesta1]

not a bad idea. I have a casio px 320 and I was looking to upgrade cause I need a better rhodes sound and wurly sound. does the v machine have those kind of sounds?

[daverich2]

@ThatsABiggon Sorry but all that stuff on a gig? - nah can't be arsed. I just want a great piano in one unit with no hassle. Keyperformer is OK, but his other instruments are faaar better.

[datmpham]

@ThatsABiggon Consider yourself lucky that your ears are not able to differentiate between Really good piano sounds and so-so Casio piano. Your disability will help you saving so much money since you would never outgrow a cheap casio :-) LOL... You would probably walk up to a 250K concert grand and said .. wow all of this just for one piano sounds !!!!!

[ThatsABiggon]

@datmpham, If you think that this thing is worth $1700 then you're well deserving of your SSI. Any fool can decipher that this is a rip, esp.if you've played it.If you've talent it doesn't matter what brand you play. I can see you're obviously one of those brand sheep...always looking to jump into a fight for your company...Get off of your knees, dislodge Yamaha's piece from your ass, & grow up. & yes I believe whole heartedly that only a damned fool would spend 250K for a pile of wood & metal.

[EricDB007]

@ThatsABiggon the mox8 keyboard feels like total shit though.  the difference between the ghs and gh keyboards is really noticible

Can't understand German but I love watching this guy's demos

[theDracoIX]

For everyone who doesn't speak German - he's basically saying, "This is one pimp ass instrument!"

[avq5]
