Even better after 1 month of use
2 of 2 found this helpful Prior to the CP4, I had a Yamaha S90 and a Nord Electro 3. I frequently played the NE3 piano sounds using the S90 as controller. I sold both and needed a replacement with great key action and piano sounds.
I picked the CP4 after trying it against the Roland R800, Nord Piano 2, Nord Piano 3 (not released at that time), Nord Stage 2 EX, Yamaha CP40, Casio PX-5 and Korg SV-1 88. I love the piano library and the direct controls of the Nord. However, I settled for the CP4 principally for the key action and the sound. I love this keyboard. It just inspires you to sit and play for hours. After a month, here are my pros and cons
Pros of the CP4
- Hammer action is amazing, one of my favorites out there with the NP3 (tried at NAMM). It's perfect for acoustic pianos
- Sound library is one of the best. AcPianos (mono, stereo, opened or closed lid, etc..), EPs (with different amps), Clavs and even the other sounds are solid
- Ability to tweak the sound. There are controls directly accessible on the front of the keyboard (5-band EQ, chorus and reverb). however, it's also possible to access 2 other effects in the menu like amp simulation, phaser, delay, etc... So basically, the CP4 is as tweak able as a Nord.
- Weight
- Simple but effective on-board metronome. no more practice without metronome
- Record to and playback from USB key. It's super time saving to keep ideas.
- Audio input to play tracks from my phone. Perfect for practice.
- Mod and Pitch wheels. Practical when controlling soft synths
Cons
- Plastic enclosure, feels cheap and wonder how it would survive traveling for gigs
- Nothing else to report
