      @synthartist69 9 років тому

  • @jdsmith1063
    @jdsmith1063 9 років тому +1

    It took me 40 years of frustration since I played my first Yamaha grand at Electric Lady to find a digital piano to match that experience. The CP4 is IT!! Besides it's the ONLY piano to identify the exact grand and electric pianos by their proper name.
    This guy sold me on this.

    For the first time in many years, Yamaha takes the lead with Piano. Roland can claim greater technology, and rightly so, but Yamaha is unmistakably more musical to my ears. Kawai takes no prisoners with unmatched quality of keybed, second to none. Clavia equilibrates with good-to-mediocre Fatar keybed, but also sings the praise of great realistic tones. After CP1, I’ve changed my feelings for Yamaha’s Pianos. CP4 is the most reasonable choice at the moment: Keys communicate superb intimacy with absolutely adorable character of piano sounds.
    But the CP1, although on highest qualitative level, leaves subjective assessment (whether it is worth, or versatile to enough for your taste and needs) is simply unmatched in the sheer brilliance. On superb speakers and monitors, CP1’s preset APmeetsDX has life of its own, to be explored for days, without stooping!
    CP4 is a great buy! I just regret leaving ingenious elegance and intuitive feel of CP1/CP5 interface. I hope Yamaha will not forget this interface for the next CP flagship generation.

      Keybed ??! It's mechanical action not keybed that makes the difference, you need to take a tutorial in piano anatomy. And all, digital piano today CP4, RD2000 action is intolerable except the Kawaii.

    Played this in the Yamaha Music store in London, one word....... Awesome! I'm not a patch on Ujiie but the CP4 encourages you to become a better player in every which way. I've always been a Yamaha man but recently switched to Nord but I'm seriously thinking of ways in which to own this. The CFX over the Itopia is angelic and worth the asking price alone.

      I played this piano three days ago and the dynamics and action dramatically altered my performance. The only other time I've felt that way was when I've played real grand pianos. Yamaha grands are my favorite btw.

    • @tonytouchzz
      @tonytouchzz 7 років тому

      Nord seems nice but simply isnt worth the double+ of the cp4... The cp4 sound exacly like 3 real accoustics... With nord you can put different patch... Thats the only +.. More choices of piano, not better just more sorts for that much money.

The gritty sound in the bass of that 69 wurlitzer was also cool. First and second last DX sound were awesome as well. I dont really need anything else as have good strings and clavs on another synth

    I'm going to pick one of these up this week, I just hope they don't come out with a cp7 in a few months. It's a little late in the game but at least all the bugs will have been worked out, if there were any bugs. Things I wish it had -- ability to record midi data as the p255 can, and a metronome that can be set without a one beat tone. Just a straight click.

      Still the best sounding stage piano out there, IMO. For APs and EPs, that is. Forget the CP88, another UI, but NO comparison, as a matter of fact, the APs suck big time on the CP88, no SCM … Would still buy the CP4 ! Highly recommended, if you can find one of those!

    @musicaldracula2017 8 років тому

    Dear All: Body/String resonance effect is not dominant, actually seems to be barely exist and even it is there, it can not be adjusted I guess... I can hear that effect on CP-1 easily. Please correct me if I am wrong... Thank you for this demo BTW.

    • @goognamgoognw6637
      @goognamgoognw6637 8 років тому +1

      I think what you meant is there are no sympathetic resonance between open strings. Put it in a different way, on a real piano any string will resonate common harmonics it has with other strings when several keys are played together (which occurs all the time). This effect is important and significative of the piano sound creating a richness of harmony. But the way the CP4 works it plays the same recorded sample of each note no matter what other note is played together. That is not quite true since each key is recorded at different dynamics from piano to forte but always a single note. If you want sympathetic resonance you cannot have a recorded sample. Only a synthesized piano sound like the Roland RD-800 supernatural piano engine can generate sympathetic resonance. The problem is that it is no longer the recorded sound of a real concert grand piano but a sound created from scratch from the computer engine but it will have sympathetic resonance. You cannot have both : sympathetic resonance and realistic sound, you have to choose. Well.. unless you buy a real piano.

    • @kyma1999x
      @kyma1999x 8 років тому

      +goognam goognws don't say stupid stuff....you can simulate easily resonance even with samples....kurzweil forte, korg kronos and nord stage/nord electro/nord piano ALL have sympathetic resonances, and ALL are based on sampling! even roland rd800 has samples, is a acombination between physical models and samples.

    • @kyma1999x
      @kyma1999x 8 років тому +1

      obvious is a simulation but if you old down a key in nord stage or every nord except lead, or kurzweil forte or kronos and then holding down you play a note ex c2 and then c3 you can cleary hear the hamonics, same as on a real grand (I own a kawai grand) it works perfectly wont be 100% authentic but it does the job, if you do same on cp4 or cp1 ( I have also a cp1) it doesnt happen.....so when you say it's impossibile to have resonances and harmonics using samples you say an incorrect thing.
      secondly, best piano simulations and also acoustic are all based on samples eg vienna imperial or nord library....because phisical modelling (pure phisical like pianoteq or viscount physis) all sounds weird that's due to cpu limits maybe in future we will have a synthetic piano sounding like a grand....but nowadays high definition sampling is the best way to catch an acoustic sound.

    • @musicaldracula2017
      @musicaldracula2017 8 років тому

      Thank you for your contribution. I think sympathetic resonance feature sounds a little bit luxury for today's technology. It is nice to have it but the digital pianos with current technology do not caliber of producing real effect as it is supposed to be... Thank you anyway :)

    • @musicaldracula2017

    Does the CP4 basically have the entire MX engine inside it? Can it do everything the MX61 can do? Oh and remember folks, that great sound is not coming from the keyboard alone -- it's coming from Ujiie's hands.

      You got it right, Paul. Ujiie San is an excellent pianist, and by far this has to be the best online demonstration of the CP4. Every now and then I've come across people making comments on the internet saying that this piano is 'lifeless' and not made for 'real musicians' and all I can think is how real artists never blame their tools. The CP4 doesn't have the hype and gimmicks, it isn't sexy looking like the Rolands and Nords of the world--it just does it's job to the best of the pianist's ability. I'm so stoked to buy one.
