I think Yamaha could easily put all 4 of their Reface keyboards into one unit with regular size keys, and they would sell a lot of units.

[@zacpiya]

Dean Evangelista they have already! Here is a keyboard that is just like this but with full size keys and four octaves. I own one and it's absolutely perfect. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKbcaI2bdst8nrs

[@richnewman]

@@zacpiya No. The MX sounds for EP's and Organs sound nothing like the Reface units. They sound fine, but the MX is better at digital synth sounds.

[@leonardodutra8787]

This is the YC61, for sure: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWXFlWCpo7OLgZI

[@frankboelens7168]

How cool would that be.......

[@HotStrange]

@@leonardodutra8787 that’s great for the YC/CP but doesn’t go far into synth and FM sounds to compete with the other 2.

[@tylerthompson1842]

This is Yamahas best sounding Rhodes. It sounds so much more authentic than the ones in the cp73. I want them to make this in a 64 key hammer action.

[@dfreeman120]

CP - 73 is an electric grand and not a Rhodes

[@zachreilly247]

He's probably talking about the current CP73, which is not an electric grand but a digital piano specializing in things like Rhodes.

[@ejmusicofficial]

@@dfreeman120 you’re thinking of the 1970s CP-80 and CP-70 electric grands.

[@Alan_Chapman]

They’re taken from the CP4 Stage. There should be a few floating around the used market from time to time.

[@KingCrimson82]

yeah ! its very good ive got the old p35 piano with hammer action and it got a "rhodes" on that and it isnt bad either but i am only here because i just watched a blind test video..man this here flipped me over. Also thought it actually sounds as rough as a classic rhodes and not this slick tame sound of todays machines.

[@dwindeyer]

I love how the time adjustment on the delay works like a tape loop speed emulation, and the depth goes all the way to unity gain. Epic.

[@ktreier]

The breadth of your musical knowledge means your demo using examples across multiple generes makes for a fun watching experience.

[@tom_ash33]

Just got one today. I was really waiting for this. Just played about 4 hours in a row. This piece is sensational. The sounds and possibilities are marvelous. The demo just gives you a sneak preview. Already L.O.V.E. this. I have been looking for a very mobile form factor - also running on batteries. That is it - absolutely. MiniKeys are no problem for me - even as a piano player. Big LIKE.

[@Doctormix]

Yessss!!

[@notneedingwings]

At 4:08 when he adds the effects to Rhodes 2 it sounded so good that I made an audible breath of astonishment. Then he made the same exact breath sound seconds later. The tone of this little keyboard is just that good.

[@concorde__]

It’s not that serious man

[@bradgarrett5786]

I don't even play keyboards, and I want all 4

[@Doctormix]

+Brad Garrett Haha, you're certainly not the first to say that ;)

[@SirReggie]

+Doctor Mix What tune were you playing at 2:44? It was magical :)

[@K1llerTunes]

It sounds like some of the chord progressions from Rick Wakeman's Journey to the Centre of the Earth

[@kayandaeddings4803]

Brad Garrett right? I play a little bit of piano. I actually like the reface YC. I like that one because it has the Organ and you can control it.

[@Mouse2113]

Snap. I got a MicroKorg for a steal back in 2009 even though I don't play keyboard just to play about with the sounds. Big fan of Yamaha products, just spent a lot of money on a CD-S2100 CD Player and I have 3 Pacifica guitars

[@andtothewestamerica]

I've had one of these for two years and I never even considered using the toy piano but you made it sound magical!

[@madness8556]

Another fabulous demo. These Reface keyboards sound fabulous when you play them!

[@truecuckoo]

Thanks for the great demo, with good audio. Yamaha love right there :) Cheers mate.

[@YamahaMusicUSA]

cuckoomusic Cheers! Appreciate the shout out.

[@Doctormix]

Yamaha Corporation of America Yesssssssssss

[@truecuckoo]

Yamaha Corporation of America You're welcome, mates. Thanks for entering this quirky space again! ❤️ In the end, when the Raface has sunk in, I think the one that impressed me most was actually the organ!(!) I could easily see the organ one covering most of my organ needs :) This one would be number two on my list. I totally expected my list to be reversed. But the most faithful to what they are, and the most enjoyable in my book were the Organ and this one. They're really nice :) Compliments to the team.

[@YamahaMusicUSA]

cuckoomusic Glad we can help - compliments are much appreciated and will be passed to the team!

[@tlazohtlalia]

same

[@PaulFJarnes]

4:27 it's logical

[@RandyR4eva]

Im not a keyboard player by any means but the cp has helped become a better in so many respects and plus i got all the sounds that my inner 90's child loves! Thank you!!!

[@wavecast64]

You guys do a really good job at selling these, awesome playing

[@marksangster6690]

Switch it off, put the voice selector halfway between any two sounds, switch it on again and there is a very nice hidden acoustic piano!

[@DanielSalazar-nf4kr]

I just love the Yamaha Reface family!

[@tvsuncanilijek7477]

rhodes sound must be my favorite sound ever

[@AstroZon1]

My favorite of the Reface series. I wish Yamaha would issue them in a rack module. And thanks for the great demo!

[@Furui93Shin]

"Wooah! It's 1978, my time machine works!!!"

[@andrecarioni1]

Tears in my eles, Claudio. Thank u. Simply thank u for those great emotionz

[@infn8loopmusic]

Man! Thanks so much for this demo. There's so much to love here.

[@LiberLotus]

I got mine 3 weeks ago and I'm still excited about it lol...Im overjoyed. Thanks Claudio for these demos..I watched them often and shared them leading up to the purchase. I've needed this for a long long time. Worth every God damn penny!

[@els1f]

These demos are great, man.

[@Doctormix]

Elsif Thanks for the love! You're welcome

[@studiopierrot4745]

One of the best for me, so musical, so true, so fun.

[@ogasi1798]

This was the one that caught my eye for jamming at home along with the dx Great work.

[@stevepotts4891]

best demo of keyboard I have ever seen. I have been around for ever and have seen a lot of these demos. This really great.

[@Doctormix]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@lordundhimself1310]

This is probably the best sounding e-piano emulator in the format

[@jeredalmeida1880]

The Toy Piano sound always gives me that old uneasy feeling I get every time I watch Akira.

[@adityapurwanegara8292]

Sounds so smooth and very musical

[@moogdome2562]

Yet another great demo from the only Doctor I like. My first impressions were, what does this little thing with lack of control knobs do?. I'm pleasantly surprised. it's amazing, Great classic key sounds. thank you so much doc.

[@RolandBossio]

Wow, beautiful sound on this keyboard

[@capricornpicnic4915]

great sounds and great vid Dr Mix! love it!

[@cnltaf4532]

One of the best rewiews you done bro´ after i saw that i bought one and is so satisfied with the sound , i used to have both Rhodes MK1 and the D6 the original ones, and this CP do the job well ;) Thanks

[@zajxperia3983]

I plan on getting both this and reface YC for my hobbyist home studio at some point. So cool.

[@MosEisleySpacePort1138]

I love this board and use it often. I hope Yamaha continues with the series and adds a Reface MX or MO as a tribute to their Motif line. This Reface would be more of a workstation.

[@sdbracht]

Love your vids, you’re a pretty awesome musician and dude. Thanks for the wonderful reviews!

[@willmatthewsmusic]

Great demos on these!

[@nickcarter4006]

Here it is, the video that got me hooked on doctor mix 2 years ago

[@YruamaZepol]

I absolutely love the chorus on my reface

[@TheOrphicLyre]

I'm amazed this sounds so good, had to order one

[@yurthouse.]

Let’s get this man’s video to 1 million views. He’s too wholesome not to deserve it.

[@markowalski1]

Man this thing sounds smooth

[@tomaatti3684]

What an awesome piece of gear! Deffinitely going to buy one.

[@ericpvk]

Truly awesome demo!

[@radnet7695]

What a sweet clavinet sound!

[@NateThunder]

Dude_ your content is legit. I love your icon. Well done.

[@ZeeZeeBun]

Such smooth sound.

[@hausofvishy8695]

I bought this because my triton and casios made me want some real depth that so prevalent in 70s music. Yes fun🌻

[@dirkwalther2354]

I love Yamaha audio products and instruments - and Doctor Mix too! :)

[@dioricergy6931]

My go to instrument to play on bed at 2 am with some rhodes and tremolo

[@craigshiman1442]

Thanks so much for the sampling and demo. 👍

[@stevenhosszu2016]

Surprisingly 3D a great modern take on the classics! I'd love to hear this through the distressor and h3000 :-)

[@LuisEduardoBraschi]

Love the vintage looks.

[@LyricsCube23]

This keybrd sound really good. I think it is good for perform & recording

[@raycordmusic]

Great sound! Little keyboard! Merci Doctor!

[@Idogomusic]

Your playing is awsome mr. dr. mix

[@doyleedog]

So good, I had to watch it twice! Cheers!

[@timharris5393]

This sounds incredible.

[@markpettigrew3482]

Better than the old toy pianos I remember, that's for sure!

[@cesardpd6099]

congrats dude! you are and amazing and funny keyboardist! I really enjoy these kind of demos.From now you got a new suscriber..all the best!

[@Doctormix]

Thank you for the positive feedback my friend! Glad you enjoy our videos! Groove on! :-)

[@SOBINTAXIDRIVER]

Hell yeah, my christmas gift will be fire.

[@guusvandegarde5902]

Awesome, I love those sounds. Started taking piano lessons just to be able to play mine some day. Do you know there's an easter egg when you dial the sounds knob between to settings, then turn it on? It's perfect.

[@ardiris2715]

The toy piano sold me. That attack is begging for compression.

[@studiopierrot4745]

Absolutely, it sound very good. I don't understand why people hate it. In rock music, you can use it for intro, bridge, creative things... and you can use it as bells if your turn down the octave.

[@lasid21]

wow.... great beautiful tone~!!! nice instrument~!!! thank you~

[@karlbass7004]

Wow !!! Love it !!! Thank you for post !!!

[@ThatsABiggon]

The way he says "Wurlitsaaah".... in love! LOL

[@squeakysneakers6685]

Love at 1st note! 😍

[@diji5071]

Love that SuperTramp btw.

[@arnlmndza]

Love your demo. Also, it's so Logical :)

[@solon_music]

this is a great demo - thanks

[@jonegroove]

Man I wish we could take a Dr. Mix class on playing keys!

[@Flying_Karsten]

thx for the Demo, nice work!

[@Marcus538]

Just seen one in shop , first time , against lots of others looks great , wanted to see video sounds just right

[@AudioReplica2023]

oh wow...never thought this little thing really sounded like 70's ...damn.

[@apostatatheprovost3041]

Sounds great, love it.❤️✌️

[@philipduck9192]

04:05 SOLD!!!! Keep up the good work funny Dr Mix :)

[@drunkunc83]

My daughter would love this.

[@FantasticGuitarChannel]

great demo

[@darrengoodenough8064]

I wish they would combine all four that would be amazing

[@GrayWolfPaw]

The toy piano at 6:49 sounds like that in Yann Tiersens Priere n°3 :P and the dynamics are awesome!

[@LelandHasGames]

Damn. I really want this.

[@GraNolanfnkhaus]

The "I love it" at 3:49 kills me 😂. I NEEED ONE!!

[@dustys5512]

A skilled person could make some chill lo-fi tunes with this.

[@firstnamelastname8197]

I just suddenly realized that after watching both reface yc and cp, the new yc and cp logo on reface series also come to the new yc and cp series stage keyboards!

[@gabrielpaille2903]

What a nice keyboards from Yamaha!

[@whiterottenrabbit]

You sold me this thing AND a subscription!

[@SG-cf9zl]

what pleasure it must be to play like that

[@YTbeber]

Nice and efficient demo. Thx :)

[@Doctormix]

Really glad you enjoyed it! Thanks

[@youngandrew66]

Nice. Funky playing helps demo it at its best. I have the organ now i want this.. and im a guitarist..

[@samsanimationcorner3820]

This is that 70s soft rock sound I've been looking for.

[@hitendramahida]

great playing man..

[@Doctormix]

***** Thanks man!

[@BTsMusicChannel]

Wow...a little itty bitty teeny tiny rhodes...I remember helping my bandmate carry his across town in 8th-9th grade. You could put this thing in your back pocket!

[@user-nb7hs8sx5u]

Reface CP my favorite emulation wurly!!! I love it

[@OceanMagnus]

I hope these will be made in modules. I don't fancy playing on such small keys, but it would be great to play them through a bigger midi keyboard.

[@concorde__]

Eight years later and it’s still only a dream :’-(

[@bobsbiggestfan6281]

There is a midi in on the back of the unit. so you can use a bigger keyboard if you want.@@concorde__

[@LerLoons]

3 out of 4 sound insane so far . on to the 4th .

[@chupathingy5862]

@6:12 I threw my head back and shouted "aw fuck yeah". That gives me so many ideas, thanks man.

[@johnnulf624]

Chupa Thingy Same. I let out an audible "Mmmmm!"

[@JohnfuckingColtrane]

Chupa Thingy ooh a clav it’s brand new

[@NuclearLulluby]

the sounds on this thing is str8 nut

[@orcite]

sound is amazing

[@austinstyles6393]

This is maybe the best one... or the organ? I can't decide. Great sound coming this little thing.

[@noahmay7708]

This is far more versatile than the organ one. Still cool as hell.

[@flipteezy]

holy crap i'm sold

[@sejtaridiss]

I don't understand, why people are bitchin' about the Reface line... "Small keys!, too expensive!, shitty sound!". Show me ANY PRODUCT that delivers so many options in so small, portable and CHEAP package! Where would you find anything similar to eg. CP? Native instruments Scrabee Vintage Keys - 150 Euros, than you have to add midi controller to your rack - at least 100 Euros, than you need laptop. And that's it. You can go this way, or you can just buy Yamaha CP, which gives you EVERYTHING you need in one, elegant, logical solution. No mouse clicking, no presets, no cables, just few knobs, intuitive layout and BIG sound. You can take it anywhere and in an instatnt you have pro sounds at your fingertips. Not to mention great sounding FX on board. Ref CS? It cost about the same as MiniBrute. Well, Minibrute has normal-sized keys, but Yamaha has three octaves. Which, I think, you would prefer, if you had experience with POLY SYNTH! CS has 8-note polyphony! Show me 8-note poly synth with FM modulator and onboard effects. Show me anything that cheap with so many possibilities. MiniBrute, MS-10 and so on? Mono synths needing other stuff to just to turn it on, not to mention playing with it. DX? No comparison to anything on the market. Simple, small FM synth with amazing sound. Not understanding how FM synthesis works? No prob, just play with basic 4 sliders. Wanna create your own sounds from the scratch? Get a degree and then click Edit. Boom! What else could you get to have FM synth? NI FM8+controller+laptop+speakers. Again, you have to invest much more. And you don't have portability you have with any Reface product. Reface YC? Again, nothing like that on the market. simple, small solution with 5 organ models, drawbars and onboard effects. 500 bucks? That's CHEAP. Wanna play Farfisa organs while taking a dump? No prob. Then wanna compose a track in your super-duper home studio? Plug it to your DAW via MIDI, plug outs to your soundcard and you have complementary, pro, studio solution. Need bigger keys or/and more octaves? No problem, you have MIDI In. Just plug any midi controller and you're good to go. And then wanna go on vacation with some instrument to have fun with, compose while sitting on the beach? Wanna play with your guitarist friend at night by the fire? Try to do this with Korg MS-10 :) I think people forgot what's important in music. It is playability and creativity, not the way it looks on your desk. You don't need bunch of stuff to play music, you need complementary intrument, who cares how it looks? If it doesn't look like Doepfer Eurorack synth, it immidietely is bad? No. Who cares about looks, size, what's importatnt - what you can do with it. Basically, with any of Refaces you can do exactly tha same things you could do with much bigger and more expensive insruments, which probably wound never leave your hosue due to their size. I had chance to play these instruments. aNd I immidietely fell in love with these. It releases so much creativity, when you have simple, small and complete solution with you. These instruments have the same spirit as an acoustic guitar or any other acoustic intrument. All in one solution, just take it on your lap and play. It is so much fun, when you don't have to turn on your computer, than your speakers, than you DAW, than your virtual instrument. No matter how much these products will be critisized, I think they will over time become legendary. Just like Yamaha DX7, Roland TR808/909 and so much more other instruments. At the begginning they were critisized, and then... they became legendary :)

[@cortinoias]

I think the only competitor to the DX would be the Volca FM, which I honestly prefer. Other than that, they really are great packages.

[@LennySugiono]

Wait , does midi in mean I can play this through a midi keyboard ? What cable would u need to do this?

[@thomasehrlich6465]

0

[@cortinoias]

@@LennySugiono a 5 pin midi cable I believe.

[@robertsteinberger5667]

the only competitor is buy a midi keyboard and use the neo soul keys studio app.....

[@dnch]

damn, that sounds lovely
