Nice comparison. Like you say, the differences in tone of each instrument type all boil down to personal preference. As an original Go-Keys owner I've found over time that, despite it's incredible range of instruments/sounds, I'll turn more easily to my Kurzweil or Yamaha keyboards (including the A50 🙂) because, although the range of options is less, the sampled instrument sounds are more engaging for me, holding me at the instrument for longer. That said, I do love the portability of taking a full size key keyboard like the Go-Keys into the Australian bush to play full size keys by a bubbling brook or river, rather than just the mini keys (It's a lot louder too LOL). I like all of your keyboards you play here, Masataka Kono, and would choose particular sounds for particular pieces (and I agree that frequently I do find Roland's Go-Keys sounds a touch over produced 😉).
Thank you for your wonderful comment ☺👍✨ I really sympathize with your comment. Today, I just recorded a short performance using GO:KEYS3's 14 styles and an original chord sequence. I plan to upload this soon♪
Thanks for the great test! It seems to me that Yamaha and Roland demonstrate what they always do - Yamaha has a very bright and slightly empty sound, Roland has a dense, slightly muddy sound, and the CTS-1 shows the greatest expressiveness
Great comparison Mr. Kono San. Could you please introduce that little duck sitting on your desk everytime you play? I wonder what her name is in japanese🤗🦆
I think the Casio CT-S1 combined with the Roland Go:Keys 5 would be an excellent setup for someone playing in a band. The CT-S1 has better quality acoustic and electric pianos. and the Go:Keys Zen-Core sound engine is wonderful for everything else (synth, strings, brass, organs, etc.). You could run an audio cable from the headphone jack on the CT-S1 to the Aux Input on the Go:Keys 5 and use the 1/4 inch outputs on the Go:Keys to connect to your mixing board or an amplifier. The Go:Keys 5 even includes a microphone input (if you sing). Here in the U.S. we can purchase both for less than $750 USD total. This is an incredible value!
Until recently, I discovered the NP to be far superior to the CTS in terms of timbre. Lately, I've been loving the CTS, especially when it comes to expression (the most important thing about the instrument). The GO Keys, on the other hand, seems to have a sample a little "short", stuffy. Just touching it to get a more precise opinion. Congratulations on the excellent demonstration!!!
Thank you fot this comparison. Piano: Gokeys feels more mellow to me.. In epiano, casio and Yamaha feels more similar . You missed one comparison, onboard speakers
Very nice demo and presentation, well done Masataka san! I suspect as an owner of the S1, having only very briefly played the other two that the Yamaha has the best piano sound, the Roland has the best EP and brass etc. while the Casio probably has the best aciton (the Roland does felt a bit unnatural to me in comparison to the other two). Cheers everyone and happy playing indeed !
Thank you for a very good review. It shows that I need to try the Roland action for myself. I have not played either of the other two comparison models. Have you played the Korg Liano? It is the best of these less expensive type of non hammer piano actions that I have played. It is light but expressive.
Casio sound quality was very good, and surprised me Roland very good overall, portable, mod wheel makes it more useful as a controller with a computer. Yamaha sound impressed me most: A richer sound.
A good jazz organ sound is important to me and I feel that the Roland is very much a poor third behind the other two which is a shame because its other sounds are good.
The samples of the Yamaha sound more rich, and full. Better modulation on the EP and strings! I have a GO KEYS, and it's got a few nice sounds, and for $300, it's fine, but I would buy the Yamaha if I bought another beginning keyboard again.
Thank you for your comment♪ I agree with your opinion✨ The strings on the NP-35 are a bit small-sized, and to me they sound gorgeous☺ I think it's amazing that GO:KEYS has such a large number of tones, sound quality, and functions at a reasonable price. Yesterday, I recorded a video of myself playing 14 styles and a chord sequencer that I had come up with and set up, and it was a lot of fun!
This is the video I have been craving. I wish Mastak had made a Piano test where he played a passage and tried to show from very soft (pp) to medium Mp, mf) to loud (f ff) and then back the same way to pp. I still don't know how their dynamic control and response is for Acoustic Piano which is my number 1 criteria.
I'm very happy with your comment ☺ As you say, I would like to check the touch information (velocity information) when I play the GO:KEYS keyboard strongly and softly, and later check the MIDI information.☺
This is the video I have been craving. I wish Mastaka had made a Piano test where he played a single passage and demonstrated how cooperative the response (crescendo) is from very soft (pp) to medium (mp, mf) to loud (f ff) and then back (decrescendo) to pp. I still don't know how the dynamic control and response is for Acoustic Pianos of each keyboard and that question is my number one question. By the way, setting the Casio CT-S1 Touch to Heavy is better for trained pianists, in my professional opinion. The Casio CT-S1 overreacts (it's too touch-sensitive) on its default (Medium Touch) setting, in my professional opinion.
Thank you for your comment♪ Just like you said, I also feel that the keyboard of the CT-S1 is more comfortable to play. This is additional information about me.In fact, I would like to tell you that I set the keyboard of the Casio PX-S1100 electronic piano to Heavy1 (a little heavy).☺
I liked the piano sounds of roland and yamaha better. Because casio piano sounds feel a little distorted when you play chords back to back or use sustain pedal for a while. Is it maybe because of roland has a polyphony of 256 and casio has 64 ?
Thank you for your comment♪ The phenomenon caused by the maximum polyphony mainly affects the phenomenon of the sound cutting off halfway when using the sustain pedal. The reason why you hear it distorted is probably due to the manufacturer's sampling technology, sound processing, and the know-how of electronic musical instrument production over many years. I also think that when playing chords on a Casio piano, the sound becomes a little too muffled and distorted.
@@pf_masa thank you for your response, it means a lot to me. So is it safe to say that roland is a better choice for someone who plays complicated jazz chords?. Because I like jazz genre very much. I am also amazed by your incredible piano skills.
Hello, I have a problem with my cts1. The sound of the black keys is smaller than that of the white keys at the same velocity. Is yours the same? Thank you🤗
Hello♪ Personally, I have never felt any difference in velocity between the black and white keys on the CT-S1. However, if I have the opportunity, I would like to measure the velocity value of the CT-S1 recorded in the DAW. Thank you♪
Thank you for your question♪ My favorite keyboard action is the CT-S1, but I still own all three of them because I think they are all excellent keyboards. thank you!☺

The Casio EP sounds like. a Fender Mark 1 1970’s Jazz Rhodes. The Roland and Yamaha have that 1980’s Dyno Rhodes bell tone attack,
I agree with you! That's exactly how I imagine it ☺👍✨
GO:KEYS3とても欲しいのですが、
購入を泣く思いで我慢（腕前、置き場所的に）しましたが、あきらめたところにまた燃料が・・・。
この中だとコードシーケンサーがとても魅力的で我慢できないかもです・・。
それにしてもサスティーンペダルは見事なヒール＆トゥでした。
私もコードシーケンサーはまさに、この楽器の魅力の一つだと思っています♪
今日はGO:KEYS3の14のスタイルとオリジナルのコードシーケンスを使って短い演奏を録音しました。 近々アップする予定です☺👍✨

これまた有意義で貴重な🎹比較有難うございます！
素人判断ですがカシオさんとヤマハさんは結構近い音質で、ローランドさんは独自でバイブレーションが強い印象ですかね？調整は可能かもしれませんが…
私自身は今は亡きリチャード・ティーさんのファンでローズの音色が好きなので加工的にはローランドぽい気もしますが、エレピの好みとしてはやはり私もカシオさんかなぁ…？
初心者としてCT-S1にするか、新製品のPSR-E383のどちらかにしたいとは考えてます…
ありがとうございます☺そう言っていただけると嬉しいです♪
5/30以降に、YAMAHAのPSR-E383が私の手元にきます🎹 レビューや全音色演奏をする予定なので、楽しみにしていてくださいね☺
これは朗報です！有難うございます！
初心者としてこれから始めたいおじさんにとって最高に参考になります。
動画アップを楽しみにしています。
🙏🏻感謝
毎回３台並べた時の足元が気になっていました。腰痛めてないかも含めて。
ご体調第一にしてくださいね。
私はGO:KEYS3と5のスピーカーの違いがおすすめに流れてきて、5の聴こえ方が好みで選びました。
グランドピアノの方がやはりバネが柔らかいのでしょうか？
ご心配いただき、ありがとうございます☺✨
私もGO:KEYS３と５を聴き比べしました。５の方が力強く感じました☺
ちなみにグランドピアノはバネではなく、一言でいうと、シーソーの原理を応用したちょっと複雑な構造となっています🎹

@@denizkaplan4988 I think the GO:KEYS is better for pursuing the tone, quality, and chords that you have when playing jazz. Thank you!☺
Great video sir! Just want to ask you something, do you feel the keybed of Go Keys 3 a little bit weird?
Thank you♪☺👍✨ The GO:KEYS3 keybed took me a while to get used to. Now I can play normally🎹♪
YAMAHA PSR-E383の新機種レビュ－ 373との比較 その他との比較を期待しています
承知しました☺👍✨
ショート見ました 期待と感謝です キータッチ アフタータッチ サスティン 過去動画で言われてたY社特有の良いクセ悪いクセや要望がどう成ったかもお願いします
DAW＋MIDIキーボードにするかMIDIキーの代りに373383を使うかポータブルキーボードだけにするか迷い中

GO-KEYS3 持ってないです（田舎は何処行っても置いてない😢）が、あちこちでデモを聴くとピアノの音の作り物っぽい感じが気になっていましたがやっぱり作り物くさい音ですね。それでも、これだけサンプリング技術が上がってきた中でこういうピアノの音、というのは、つまり好みや需要があるということでしょうか…… 或いはGoKeysの膨大な収録音数ゆえの理由か。
それにしても、プロの方が演奏されるとあまりにリアルに聴こえて、「俺の持ってるCt-s1と違う！」と思ってしまいます😅
コメントありがとうございます♪そう言えば、まだ私は原宿のローランド店以外で、GO:KEYS3と5を展示されているのを見たことがありません…
GO:KEYS3は、良い音色がたくさんあると感じています。来週、GO:KEYS3デモ演奏をアップするので、是非見てくださいね☺
유의미한 차이는 없는 것 같군요. 결국 플레이어가 중요합니다.
