    I sometimes wonder if this is a reactionary measure; it's easier to mix in low end, but taking it out is tricky because the overtones cloud up the mids. Generally, I *think* that my argument is to go for pure authenticity, but I don't think that's necessarily the best case all the time unless it's something like a TS-808 where, in isolation, it's easier to mix and has always been more of a foundational structure to reinforce with more exaggerated EQ as you go. Conversely, I feel like the advent of "bedroom guitarists" resulted in guitar amps having so much low end that it amazes me how many people I've played with that don't know how to cut some lows for a live bassist to be audible.

    The Reface Cp sounds so good! Yes with good headphones i can definiately hear the more richness of the real e-pianos. But once you effect on that, and imagine listening to it in a band-mix, those differences because so small. What i am saying is: as an listener, or audience member, i would be moved and touch by the Reface CP.

    I bought it I keep it. And yes I have Keyscape, a real Feurich 1,90m Grand Piano at home and a Kawai ES-8, so I am not in need of something cheap. This thing is a beast and is worth every penny. 1. You can use it as a midi controller for example for Keyscape, LogicPro 2. You can connect with a 3€ midi cable with an 88 midi keyboard and use just the sounds 3. If you use on D.Delay full open two knobs, you have a simple cool loop function 4. If you switch on while the know between two instruments, you can play a very nice clean piano sound 5. You can use 6xAA betteries/accu and you can play for hours 6. Internal speakers are for its site amazing, ten times better than Akai mini Play for example 7. All knobs and faders are solid, super overall built quality 8. Keybed is so far best I had under my fingers with 3 octaves... 9. I DONT get paid for this, I payed with my hard earned money and I am happy some months already. This is like the ES8, it will stay at home, quality, sound and feel are great.

    Recently got a Reface cp, always wanted one since they came out but couldn’t justify it. Have to say it sounds incredible. I have a Montage 6 and honestly the ep’s on the Reface sound better especially the grunt that you want from a rhodes when you dig into the keys. Running it to a midi controller is a must but even on full size synth keys because of the sound it is so rewarding to play, that’s the best word I can think to describe it. Worth every penny

    I own and it is surprising how good it sounds. I can't stand those mini keys. I either midi it up to my main keyboard - Yamaha MX88, or use my Roland A-37 controller. The onboard speakers sound like a bad transistor radio. You can shut them off by powering down the Reface CP, then holding down the lowest D note, power up the unit and that shuts off the onboard speakers. The unit sound great through nice sound system speakers.

    On the Wurlitzer, the CP cuts the sound too abruptly on note releases, but in a mix, no one would notice. And for a fraction of the price of real pianos, you get a very convincing emulation. BTW, there's an easter egg in the Yamaha Reface CP: if you put the piano type selector in between two models, and power on the unit, you get a Grand Piano sound!

    To me one of the biggest difference are the low and high ends of the instrument, the reface lacks some weight in the lower register (especially the Rhodes modes) and maybe some brightness and punch in the high end. But it's so marginal, that the form factor, probability and price more than make up for it.

    Yeah the reface definitely seems a bit thinner/less bass-y, but it also sounds a bit quieter/lower output in some of these comparisons, so pushing the gain on it a bit might help that to some degree (obv not completely though). But then I also see plenty of people running the reface through pedals, so there's extra opportunity there to shape/sculpt the sound a bit too

    As a Rhodes MK1 owner I'm Impressed with the Reface in this video, but you can tell it's synthesized with a close ear because every Rhodes has different characteristics from tine to tine and voicing alone is never perfect. And the Reface has a very consistent sound note to note like a synth. In a mixed track with effects you might not notice the difference but I don't think it'll feel the same as sitting with a Rhodes. Keyscape is pretty amazing though, especially through a big system, it can really feel like my Rhodes aside from fact that it feels pre mixed where my Rhodes doesn't unless I'm tracking it with effects

    I agree, but I think it's one of the strengths of the CP. Playing a real rhodes, those inconsistencies are part of the charm, but those types of inconsistencies quickly become irritating when I hear them in samples. It's why I adore the rhodes found in the CP1, CP5 and CP4. Authentic, but kind of enhanced at the same time.

    @@dynoroad yeah I can agree, there’s positives for both, the CP is cool too because you have so many tones on hand really quickly, paired with pedals or effects it’s even better and it’s a sound we’re becoming used to on modern music. But I’d say it depends on the Rhodes itself, the inconsistency should be super minimal if it’s a good Rhodes, like some tines have a little more bell and some sound a little warmer but very minimally, it just brings it to life a little more, if it’s starting to sound irritating then I’d say that Rhodes probably needs a good setup and restoration haha. I fully restored mine and you can hear it in a video on my channel, it sounds brand new, beautiful stereo tremolo, upgraded preamp, internals completely redone etc. I’ve thought about making it into a Kontakt instrument but there’s so many Rhodes out there already, I dont know if there’s a RetroFlyer Rhodes though so maybe I’ll do it some day!

    I thought about that too...And the truth I suspect is we should be happy we can get these sounds now for 399$. Its basically a brain that you can midi to. Id love a keyboard with the CP and YC combined...But how would its sell? Its a more niche market I think. I mean look at Vintage Vibes original tine EPs. They're 5000$ USD but they're amazing. They're not pumping them out like hot cakes I don't think. It does suck, and maybe they'll finally put one out, but for now there's always a midi controller

    @@LiberLotus I mean I use MIDI controllers and been thinking about getting a Reface CP and YC and modding them into modules but I don't really like using a MIDI controller in the first place, I like "whole" instruments with keys or pads. Not to mention controllers tend to be butt-ugly and focused on DAW (this is now finallly changing with Novation and Arturia) when some of us are interested in hardware and Eurorack. So for rhodes, organ, clav, acoustic piano we still need romplers but they haven't really made them fun to use. except for those Yamaha Reface... I know a lot of song or score writers opt for these mega workstation type keyboards with internal sounds like the really expensive Yamaha and Roland ones but those things may have the sounds you want and beautiful sounds but they're just not fun. With thousands of presets and shit. Give me a Rhodes with an analog monosynth and an acoustic piano and organ sound and I wont' ask for much. Imagine a double-decker 61-key board were the bottom deck is weighted and the to no. So you have all your pianos on the bottom and the top used for organ and synths. Pianos could be ROMpled (modelling is total overkill), Organ modelled (or ROMpled), and a real analog engine for the synth. And comes in its own box. Like the super funk gig machine. I've been wanting this keyboard for years! And it would have controls like the CPs. Aaaaanyway

    @@LiberLotus I forgot to say that you can find the reface for like 350 each, because of course the intro price was too steep. So that's 700 euros. If Yamaha were to take those panels connect it to a decent keyboard with split capacity and options for semi-weighted or hammer action and 61 or 73 keys style and how much more would you have pay 700 would be a huge premium. So the whole board would be 1400, the price of a Crumar Mojo 61 and loads more user-friendly. Yamaha have done some cool things lately with the YC61 and the CP pianos so tehy probably would feel it might encroach on that market but virtually any manufacturer could make a board like that for such a price.

But I was looking for something small and light that I could just place on my lap. Too small, too light. My search for a keyboard will continue.

    Nice video - I have a reface CP as well as a similar collection of vintage keys. (Except for the D6 - haven't had an opportunity to pick one up yet) While the sounds are good - they don't really compare to the real thing. But to be fair - I only spent $400 on my reface CP while I've got over $10k in my Rhodes, Wurlitzer, CP-70b, and Hammond B3. And I took my reface CP camping!

    To my ears the most noticeable differences are between the Reface Wurly and the real Wurly: The real Wurly is much warmer and has more tonal subtleties depending on how hard/soft the keys are struck, while the Reface is very bright and basically sounds the same tonally regardless of the player's touch. I'll also wager that the Wurly used for the Reface samples probably sounds/plays differently from the one used in this video, as each Wurly tends to have its own unique tonal and sonic quirks. But then, you can't have everything given the Reface's price point and portability...at least not yet. Great demo BTW, thanks for posting.
