#Andertons #casio #yamaha
It sounds to me that the Yamaha sounds Bright, the Casio sounds even, down the middle and the Nord sounds Dark. None are better than the other, all down to what you like!
Indeed, but it's quite striking to hear the Nord after the Yamaha, they are like complete oposites! I suppose the Yamaha should cut better through the mix and the Nord would be too muddy?
Awesome video, exactly what I was looking for a few weeks ago - I went out and picked up the Casio after watching! I bounce between grand piano and Rhodes for the most part, so these two keyboards will serve me very well. I think the piano sound of the Nord Piano 5 is by far the best of the three. And while the Nord and Yamaha might be better representations of what an actual Fender Rhodes sounds like, the Casio has that 'lo-fi' sound that I love. So the Nord is my go-to for piano sounds, and the Casio is my go-to for Rhodes sounds. As an added bonus - both come with a triple-pedal included in the box, which is a high priority for me.
In general, the Yamaha has way more treble in the samples than I like, especially for playing at home solo. But it probably cuts through the mix of a band the best of the three. I'd love to try one out some day.
Great little vid ! Thanks a lot 😊
The Casio does it looks wise and the trusty Noed design is still a great one.
I think the all sound great whilst each having its personal top sound ... 👍
Great video! They all sound great. I've bought Casio and Yamaha in the past because Nord is never in my price range, but in this video I liked the Nord the best overall. I bet the Yamaha does the best CP, though, which I love.
Looking for the pitch bend on the Nord Piano, lol! Interesting to see the different character in each of the presets. I am sure in most cases these could be fine-tuned to the needed result and they all have character
You guys make the best vids.
I was actually surprised by how much I disliked the Yamaha sounds in this demo. They usually sound better to me, although I prefer Korg generally.
sick beats, falcon !
Nord is still the boss here to my ears
I own a CP88, the transients in this video sound way more intense--and I see everyone calling these sounds bright as well--than my own experience. I'm not too big of a fan of the default CFX sound, and I wish Yamaha would let us know if they're going to include sympathetic resonance, but the Hamburg Grand they put out in last year's update was a *complete* gamechanger for me.
If y'all get the chance, I highly recommend you try it out.
I completely agree!
Certain sounds on the Nord sound very good eg. Grand piano. However, my observation is the Nord is very mellow, the Casio seems a bit more balanced while the Yamaha is way too bright. That's just my opinion. I guess in every case you could adjust the sounds to make them a bit more to your liking, but straight out of the box, I would have to go with Casio on this one (if you're comparing all the sounds that is).
No nord e yamaha você consegue mixar os sons e dar o timbre que quiser, mais agudo mais fechado ou mais brilhante e ainda escolhe a frequência de médio e grave
Surprised how much of a difference there is. The Nord once again seemed better in most categories but I thought the the grand sound great on the Casio and too bright on Yamaha and Nord. The upright was superior on the Nord and the rest of them as well I think
I find Yamaha to be a bit harsh at times for a solo instrument. I tend to just EQ it out for the performance. But in full band settings it’s better to not have as much mud in the mix.
in order: nord wins, then casio (impressed!) ... yamaha sounds a bit dodgy to me lol
Casio is the best in acoustic piano sound. Put some good headphones on.... The Casio has a very slight ringing while playing, very slight. The Nord has more ringing while being played, and the Yamaha has the most ringing. (IN THIS VIDEO) - LISTEN CAREFULLY FOR THE RINGING NOISE YOU HEAR AS EACH IS BEING PLAYED. If you play these instruments with headphones, like I do, that ringing (ting noise) can be aggravating! I bought the Casio px s6000 and the piano sound is very good with hardly noticeable ringing. I had the MODX in the past, and every single piano, after spending hours adjusting the setting, the pianos all had aggravating ringing in the background. If you adjusted that, the sound just became dry and lifeless. I will stick with my Casio!
Don't know why everyone is praising the Yamaha. It's way too bright, although it's Grand was quite good. The Casio/Nord were great in all samples.
Their CFX grand is normally bright. It's a sound preference
I’m struggling trying to decide between a Nord Piano 5 and a Yamaha CP88. These videos are not helping… because I LOVE THEM BOTH!!!
Very helpful 😊😊
Nord sounds amazing.
Watch the video with your eyes closed and listen and overall Nord is on top. Casio I would say close 2nd.
Casio sounds like a good all around keyboard. Nord definitely warm and some patches sound like better micing. Yamaha is good in its own way but seems not as balanced in overall patch quality. Not bad though. Casio and Nord seemed more evenly balanced with sound overall as a unit.
Agreed. Casio pretty much won every category here accept the upright piano which actually sounded best in the Yamaha. Casio, nord, than Yamaha in this video
Why did you used the brightest preset on the Yamaha??? Even Jack said that the Yamaha's wurli was the closest to the real one...
Yamaha cp 88 is the competitor to those other two, not the yc. Cp has the same piano sound, a great keyboard, no organ but much cheaper
Yamaha and Casio for solo playing. Nord for being band/mix ready; easier to picture vocals sitting well over the darker Nord. Yamaha and Nord for sound shaping. Casio for home decor.
Yamaha has the best E.Pianos by far, the example jack used for the Rhodes is the 67 bright but theres a 73 studio and 73 which sound incredible. The effects are very good as well. I own a CP73 and i far prefer it to the Nords for e.piano
I have an 88 but same
Yamaha sounds so harsh compared to the other two which both sound great. Maybe works on the clav sound for some scenarios but that's it for me. Casio giving nord a run for their money there I think though.
You folks commenting about the YC sharp sound etc, do realize that The YC has multiple ways to tweak your piano sound to your own taste, Some of you act as if what you are hearing OVER THE INTERNET is the final sound. Personally, I owned the Korg Grandstage and LOVED it so I agree with one guy on here that they have some of the most beautiful piano sounds but after playing the YC 88 and comparing it to the Korg and the Nord Stage 3, the YC88 Pianos were fantastic and very comparable to the Korg with some I like even better. The action is SUPERB! The Nord sounds good, no doubt but the key-bed felt like a child's toy piano. I realize the Nord Stage 4 is going to hit the streets soon and they have made some changes taking from Yamaha's lead [I love it!!} with Organ Drawbars and LED, sound effects to be assigned to each channel separately, and yes, a much better action from what they say. Overall, particularly after Yamaha's 2 updates adding a better Leslie Sim and the coveted Hamburg piano, you could not drag me away from the Yamaha. It is the best stage piano I have played IMHO. Play on friends.
Yamaha all the way, but the Casio is nothing to laugh at. Glad to see them getting some attention. Always had a soft spot for them. I have an XW-P1 and used it on a couple of my albums.
yeah but the XW is in no way comparable to the Privias Air++ engine ;) It's excells as an unique retro lowfi machine for 80th Vince Clark type synth pop :)
@@higgy7762 the yamaha sounds too bright and tinny
I have both the Nord and the YC. The YC in your comparison sounds even harsher than mine - though I have tried to mellow it out a little. I gigged both together for a while, and both myself and the band thought the Nord was warmer and richer, and blended into the mix better. Have to say, the Casio is s strong contender now though - I'd even go so far as to say I prefer some of its sounds over the YC.
I have a YC61, and mine is warmer than here in the video.
I have owned many Yamaha digital pianos, with the so called best piano sound, all sounded tinny and too bright, if settings were changed so I would not hear the tinny ringing with it, it just sounded lifeless like singing with a rag over your mouth. I bought the Casio sx6000 - the piano sound is very good!
@@Johnherlihy1 I also have the Casio SX-1000 as a home piano - primarily because it is about the slimmest model out there and we're pushed for space, but I am more than happy with the piano sounds (though some of the others are a little weak).
What were you playing for the Rhodes sample, it sounded so familiar 😩
Sounds like Michael Jackson - Rock With You
Hey you guys do a great job overall. This comparison is top notch and quality of production is on par as always. Got the Nord myself and can attest that it sounds excellent in person. One thing to note in this test that makes it skewed and not 100% comparative is that sometimes you have reverb on and for others off in the same comparison. Next time please check and make sure either all Reverb is off and no other post processing is happening on the sound or have the same for all.
My word that Yamaha piano sound is swimming in reverb and the Rhodes on the Casio was so muddy with no character.
The Casio does stand to the Yamaha and Nord in the other categories though.
No, it has this weird funky mid range at times that I really don’t like. The Yamaha just does not impress me at all. I think it’s Casio by a country mile. And it looks so cool.
nord grand piano: wich one ?
Not piano player, but Yamaha sounded nasty. Casio & Nord way way better. I'm guessing the Nord is more expensive though?
Nord Piano 5 ❤
Nah the casio for me wins apart from the clav that goes to Nord and im a yammy fan boi
I mean there’s just no comparison when you get a Nord involved 😂🔴
agree
Functionality: agree.
Free sound library: agree.
Keyboard and action: no, the Yamaha YC88 and CP88 are (in my opinion) way better than the Clavias on this point. I can’t say anything about the Casio.
Plus, I think Yamaha managed to take all the good things from the Clavia’s interface and improve it even further.
Sound quality: I think both Nord and Yamaha do a really really good job on certain types of voices. The Casio seems nice for a certain type op users, but not for the (semi)pros I think.
Yamaha electric piano sound better than nords
Soundwise Nord is fantastic, but the built quality is ridiculously bad considered the price paid.
@@nickh4025 yeah, I hear people breaking their keys and even the pitch bend on their Nords. But then again, I don’t hear very joyful stuff about the Yamahas with 73 keys too. I’ve never had any trouble with either the Nord (waterfall keys and 76 hp keys) or the Yamaha (88 wooden keys).
Yamaha all the way for me, especially Grand Piano which is the deal breaker. I've never quite understood why Rhodes/Wurlitzer are given parity as benchmark sounds in these tests (on all UA-cam channels not just this). I get that they're extensively used but most ROMplers mastered a decent emulation of them years ago...a bad piano sound will really stick out, Rhodes/Wurlitzer not so much.
No, that depends on the music you play on your keyboards. For jazz, funk and soul music the Rhodes and Wurlitzer samples can be more important as the grand pianos.
What you call "decent", most call crap.
serious: play YC live: YC/CP Grand is a 'cut down' Yamaha Grand. It has no sympathetic resonance, a rather 'mediocre' damper resonance and sounds - well - 'very Yamaha', not to say 'digital' in the decant (you won't hear this from some YT noodling videos). While these are no issues in a noisy Rock or Blues band (what the YC is made for), it's a '2022 nogo' for 'home digitals' or solo-/duet pianos where one plays more sophisticated music.
@@higgy7762 Exactly.
No new gear ,????
Nord...by a country mile!!
Praise the Nord
Nord Piano 5 kills it at everything IMHO.
I still think the Casio acoustic pianos sounds a little cheap. The mid region sounds nasal in my opnion. I would not go with Casio because of this.
I think Yamaha has more beautiful Rhodes than the one you played.
exactly what I experienced owned 2 of them that nasally mid range bugged the frikin hell out of me ended up selling them tried the 7000 same shit
Amazes me why companies bother to produce keyboards with onboard sounds anymore. As evidenced by the comments below, just no way to please a majority, given we all have different opinions on what sounds best to our ears! Might as well just offer us a well built keyboard with a great action, great connectivity and download links for the DAW and VST Pack of our choice.
This is why I gig with a midi keyboard and laptop not a Nord like everyone seems to do nowadays. For acoustic pianos I seriously think Pianoteq is the best piano VST on the market and I've seen people run it on a Raspberry Pi. They have great e-pianos as well, but the beauty of having a laptop is using ANY sound library/VST you want.
Still waiting for a company to produce a keyboard that can load VSTs by itself without needing a laptop.
@@FrantzesElzaurdia That's a great idea, but that would require them to put much better cpu/memory/storage solutions in their boards than they do now. Not sure how the pricing would balance out, considering the circuitry they could remove?
Headphones on here. Yamaha sounded awful compared to the other two. Nord better on some, and Casio on others - to taste
For me:
Grand piano: Casio/Yamaha /Nord
Upright piano: Nord5/Casio/Yamaha
Rhodes: Nord5/Casio/ Yamaha
Wurli: Yamaha/Nord/ casio
Casio grand piano wins. Nord close 2nd then distant third is the Yamaha.
1 Casio, 2 Yamaha
Grand piano: Yamaha
Upright piano: Yamaha (great one!)
Rhodes: Casio
Wurlitzer: Nord (great one!)
Clav: Yamaha
My opinion obviously.
Thé wurly IS really betternon thé nord
Yamaha is the best.
What will you give for me. thank you.
I mean Yamaha electone keyboards.
First?
Cassio is lower level
Everything sounded like crap except the Yamaha/Nord acoustic pianos. Nord warmer/thicker. Yamaha clean/bright but lacks depth.
Casio is using those same ole' Roland-like plinky harsh piano samples.
Really depressing how weak all of them sound in 2022.
The acoustic piano on the Casio sounded very good. The Yamaha is always too bright and tinny, and the Nord sounds good in piano, but the Casio sounded better.
