Yamaha CP-60M - Moments in love piano intro

I am proudbly being the very first person to send video of Yamaha CP-60M to youtube! The reason may be that it's far more rare than it's grand versions, althought all never M models are pretty rare anyway. It's the most compact acoustic piano ever. It's the upright version of legendary electric Grand CP-70, except CP-70 is 73 keys while CP-60M have 76 keys. And M -model means MIDI!

The song I played is one of my favourite songs: Moments in love, composed by The Art of noise, but be noted that's only piano intro. First I played it with normal sound but then I pressed Equalizer on (having my own adjustments) and then played live version of piano intro (Live version was indeed played live with CP-70M or CP-80M! About the original version, I am not sure if it's CP piano at all...). The reverb is external, Lexicon Alex.

Sorry about the video quality... I just used my mobile's video camera. However, as I am really "sounds freak" and almost professional one ;D I recorded professionally full audio quality from my systems and just replaced video's audio with it. I always keep audio quality as primary thing.

Originally CP-70 and CP-80 (full 88-key version) were made in 1978. But later in the 80' (84-86?) Yamaha updated them with more advanced graphic equalizer and build-in midi!!! Although only midi out, but It's capable of full velocity and sustain pedal messages... plus there's even midi split option which means you can split keyboard having for example higher notes layered with synth sounds while lower keys are not sending midi messages!

Can you post a tutorial? I would love to play this at my brothers wedding. He loves this song. Awesome job by the way! You rock dude!!!

Sorry, this is too simply song to be bothered for just tutorial. Just try to find the midi file with this piano intro and then download this handy little midi player called 'MegaMID' which I use for learning songs without notes as it shows you the keys indicating what are being played! And it's freeware too!

I love the sound of this piano!!! Is not exactly the same sound of the CP-70 that Vangelis plays in his performance but sounds great!!! I have discovered that I like the electro-acoustic pianos!!! Thanks for posting this videos.

[ptpt88]

In fact the sound IS exactly same! It's just different processing how and what Vangelis used and that makes it a bit different... besides this CP-60M have already build-in graphic equalizer.
