Yamaha CP300 and Konnekt 8 demo

Just trying out my new Yamaha CP300 and t.c. electronic konnekt 8 for the first time. This video shows the very first power-up of the konnekt 8. First I connect a MIDI cable, balanced audio cables, and Firewire cable (to the ThinkPad). Then I launch the konnekt 8's control panel for the first time, which wants to talk to the Internet and then update the box's firmware. Then I'm ready to start recording music from the Yamaha! Hope you find this demo useful or at least interesting. Gawd I should've shaved! Hey, I'm just lounging around at home playing with my toys. XD

What software do you recommend for recording from the CP300? I'm getting this piano soon and I would like to connect it to my notebook to make records.

@R3uven I recommend getting a stand-alone digital recorder like the Tascam DR-07, I've given up on PCs for real-time tasks.

Hi,

Was that the standard/stock sound of your Yamaha CP300? The Grand Piano one sound? Or were you using a virtual instrument also?

Best Wishes

[HarvardHeinous]

Yeah, it's the stereo GrandPiano1 that's the default when you turn on the Yamaha, no virtual instruments.

[OilyTower]

Hi!

I'm curious if there is any function or program for learning songs on the CP300, like on the DGX630 since i don't know how to read notes this is really handy and an easy way to do it than by ear,

Thanks

Nice TP! Is it a T60? Great sound, I intend buying a TC Twin Impact ASAP =)

@HarvardHeinous : The little fellow sitting on your right speaker will affect the sound quality. ;o)

@Hetahl : Compared to some of the workstations on the market the CP-300 is fairly simple in comparison.

@jmac1334 internal speakers sound great, I use them whenever I play
