A reliable stage keyboard that will not get in the way of the music.
4 of 4 found this helpful As a reliable niche product targeting the basic needs of professional stage performers, it does it's job well.
Portable, solidly built, controls easy to use in live mode, consistent action, acceptable sounds, especially after the last OS update (thanks for the CF3!)
Overall, I am satisfied.
A suggestion for future models: the keys should depress an additional 2 or 3mm, in order to emulate the range of movement and expression of real grand piano keys. the CP88 hits bottom just a bit too soon.
Also, I suggest a new CP88 OS update to address the following:
Add a few of the excellent samples that Yamaha used in previous models, such as the P250. For example:
- The Rhodes had distortion audible ONLY when a key was hit hard. This was a welcome expression tool, and is absent on the CP88.
- The Imperial sounds different between sectors of the keyboard, almost as if different techniques were used at the low, mid, and high range, and the shifts happen from one key to the next, not subtly.
- The S700 decay has been deliberately cut too short.
- The C7 sounds too metallic in the low range, almost as if the "hammers" had less felt.
- The acoustic bass sounds like a deeper bass guitar, very metallic. The sample on the P250 was better, with the softer sound of plucked gut strings.
- The B3 sample on the P250 was also closer to the real thing.
I hope this helps.
Best,
