I am no stranger to demos or sweetwater, so I had to take a second and comment. That was a brilliant demo all around! Someone get this dude a raise!!

Jacob Dupree is really starting to become one of my new favorite keyboard players...like LEGIT! Dude! I can't play a lick of keyboard, but the only reason I'm watching this one is because you're playing it... Honestly! Great skills! Keep it up! You've gained a fan!

just receuved mine today,.. super excited.

Best keyboard demonstration I've watched showing such a wide range of capabilities! Thank you for sharing this!

Your Mellow Pad sounds like an Organ ! I cant believe you did the whole video without noticing that the Modulation wheel was turned on for every preset

I played the CP 73 at the music store in town... I liked the pitch bender... I would like to get the CP 88 but to many bells and whistles on it all I need is the mod and pitch bend... I just want to use it as a midi controller for Logic... ☮🔥

Sounds very nice! A+++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hi friend, excellent review!!!..., for you, the best key action (more balanced, faster, same weight at back of keys, best for classical practice, reliable and less noisy) and sound connection (accurate, fast response for jazz and classical repertoire), between these options: Roland RD-2000, Kawai MP7, Yamaha CP4, Yamaha CP88 and Yamaha P515. Thanks...!.

Hello and thanks for the informative video. What is the quality of the keyboard of the CP73? Is this quality better than the simple GHS from Yamaha? Thanks a lot

Thx

It would be awesome if the split point had that x-fade feature they have on the nords. (not that I'm really into nords)

Nice! The playing reminds me of Chick Corea.

Me from the UK, that organ sounds incredible, what does this keyboard feel like to carry, say after a sell out concert at Wembley, Madison Square. Is it heavy. Nice video

Wow.

This is maybe an ignorant question, but do these pianos come with a VST version of the samples, or would you have to record it as an analog instrument if you were going to record into a DAW?

Got to admit that Yamaha designed it also for stage presence. you can see it in the back the knobs and switches giving it that old kind of keyboard feeling.

What octave range is default? Is it like a 61 key with more notes on either end, or is it different?

Hi, Caleb (nice name, by the way 😉)! Thanks for your interest. The default note range on the CP73 is E1-E7. It can be transposed up to two octaves in either direction. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any further questions! Caleb Lowrey, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1620, caleb_lowrey@sweetwater.com

Anything like this that starts on C? I tried the Korg EX73 but didn't like the piano sounds or the semi-weighted keys. All other 73 / 76es that I've seen start on E. I'd rather lose the top 4 keys and start on C.

Never mind. I'm buying it. Adjusting the octave down, it'll be kinda like a 65 key board starting on C, or like a 68 key board starting on A. Or like a 73 key board starting on...

Does this keyboard produce its own sound without a daw ?

Hello! Yes, the CP73 has a large swath of internal sounds it can produce - it sounds terrific! It doesn't have internal speakers, but you can connect it to headphones or an amplifier / PA system. Of course, you can also connect it via USB to a computer and use it as a MIDI controller inside of any DAW. If you'd like to go into more detail, please call my number below.

how do you change the sensitivity of the keys? mine when I play soft and 'too soft and when "push" .. pushes too much

Hi there. That is a great question! If you press the "Touch" button, it will bring up a display screen that allows you to alter how the velocities will be generated according to the strength that you play the notes. You can also access it from the "Menu" - "General" - "Keyboard/Pedal" - "Touch Curve." From there, you change change between Normal, Soft, Hard, Wide, and Fixed curves. Let us know if you have any other questions! Maryann Shirley, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1774, maryann_shirley@sweetwater.com

Somehow sounds really cheap in the synth sounds, reminds me of those awful GM modules from 80’s. Definitely strong in the keys sounds.

It's a piano - the synth sounds are just an extra

I just read on Harmony Central the reason they start on E is because guitar players design them LOL!

Didn’t like the mid tone eq that my CP73 gave out... left a bitter after taste. Tried playing it through different speakers and still no change. Very disappointed in this purchase.

Hi

montage is better. or get the modx

Disappointing to see Sweetwater ignoring most of the questions posted here.

As good as Nord? But I guess it's cheaper

I am totally underwhelmed by the acoustic piano sounds. They sound shrill and too upfront to me. Looks like I have to buy a good hammer action controller and use a plugin, which I hate. Come on Yamaha, you can do better!

ORGANs and CHROM. PERC. are dreadful!

Right? Like how hard can it be to just throw some halfway decent PCM samples in there, a Hammond is just triangle waves stacked on top of each other. Logic Pro has one of the best virtual organs out there with full leslie emulation, the entire suite is $200 and you can run it on a $500 computer. I shouldn't have to spend 3 grand on a Nord or Hammond just to have a damn organ that sounds like an organ! I can make a better organ sound from two oscillators on a cheap korg analog synth. I don't get it.

A Nord Electro without the organ.

I find this thin, boxy, artificial and with a mid range boost that is not well. No depth whatsoever. How in the world is this intended to be a "Nord Killer"?. They just copied the looks, but they included 5 times LESS sounds than Nord, and the quality is sub par. Effects sounds like a toy. Who on earth would want to drop $2,000 for a keyboard with just 57 sounds?. Even Casio keyboards nowadays are putting out better options.

I kinda agree with you there. The piano and sub sounds is no different from other Yamaha digital pianos, while the electric piano and most effects are just taken from the 4-year old Reface synths. For me, the CP4 Stage is still better when it comes to sound collection And yes, Casio gives a better option at an even lower price. The new PX-S1000 and PX-S3000 really packs a punch within a $500 - $900 price range

I totally agree. All of the pianos sound alike. No depth. Tried to adjust the touch for softer playing. No variation at all. Those buttons and knobs are useless. The electric pianos are disappointing. I've owned the Nord Piano 2, and this doesn't add up to the Nord. The sub voices are dismal. Not worth the money. I ordered the CP88 and returned it a week later. Got the MODX8 instead.
