Korg B2 Digital Piano Review with Keyboard Talks 🎹🗣

[@medjugoracmarko007]

I bought it half year ago, and works really well. No problems with it, I didnt regret!

[@HedgehogStudios1]

Tried this at a shop today. It's too basic for my needs, but I'm seriously impressed with what you get for the money.

[@irbomusic]

The B2 is definitely an amazing midi keyboard and I love the weighted keys. But as a music producer, I don't find the tone of the piano presets to be desirable in really anything I've worked on besides lofi (which I don't make much of). I usually just stick to using it to control VST's.

[@channelmagenta8721]

But does it feel pleasant for midi and recording??? cause thats my primary goal

[@irbomusic]

@@channelmagenta8721 Been a while since I made this comment. The tones of the piano presets actually aren't that bad if you know what to use them for, and the keys are actually way too weighted. In the 11 months since this comment, I've played other keyboards as well as multiple real upright pianos and I hadn't realized how ridiculously weighted the Korg B2 is. I have an upright at home and not even that has keys as heavy as the B2. Also, the audio has begun distorting when you put the volume low which is a problem

[@channelmagenta8721]

@@irbomusic alright Thank you for the quick responce. I just need a keyboard with midi that feels real to play with speakers in so i Can practice without turning on the pc. Got any other keyboard options you would like to share??? It would be greatly appreciated!

[@irbomusic]

@@channelmagenta8721 Sorry, I don't know any good ones. I assume Yamaha or other Korg keyboards would be worth researching

[@irbomusic]

@@lespetitszoiseaux3774 I just find the extra weight unnecessary and counterintuitive when playing chords really fast or tremolo

Your review was instrumental (har har) in my decision to buy a B2 yesterday 👍🏼 As a beginner I wanted a piano that sounds good, feels nice and doesn't have to many distracting features. I also like the clean design. I believe it's fairly easy to wire up the Korg pedal connector to a generic "jack" pedal should the original pedal ever give out...

[@smoideen]

thank you so much for the review. thinking of getting this for my 12 year old daughter. thumbs up for mentioning the proprietary pedal connection

[@KeyboardTalks]

Glad to help 🙂

[@mirza1a706]

Wish that my father would also be like you. Truly want to buy this one but my father will never give me this. The Casio keyboard which I am having now is also the gift of my aunt not purchased by my father. 😭😭😭

[@wickedemperor]

Great review, mate! As a KORG dealer and long time fan of the brand, it's a real shame most people in the US are not willing to spend the money on one of these. Over here they go for $750. I usually end up selling for under $700 to finally get rid of them. Never make the money I'm supposed to. I still believe in the brand and their great line of digital pianos. Ty

[@traviss6564]

I'm in love! Piano is great too, think I'll pick one up finally. I've been looking at it for a while.

[@narts777]

Thank you so much for the review, I'm thinking of buying it, I played for years on keyboards and never had a digital piano. I'm always undecided which one I'll buy, yamaha, roland, casio, etc but I think this time you helped me decide it, Subscribed

What I did for the layering is connect it to my iPad and using KORG apps/GarageBand to have a dual voices.

[@grahamhumpage8850]

Well, thank you for that! You certainly helped me to make my mind up and I have now ordered a B2 from and online dealer in the UK for only £285.00 (560AD at today's rate) I haven't broken the news to my wife as yet, but with twelve guitars stored away in the attic, I'm guessing she's not going to be well pleased..........

The sounds come through headphones much more nicely than the piano speaker itself I find. The sounds in this KZbin video are not what you will get out of your piano speaker. Worth noting if you're buying.

[@dave-874]

Connect it to a good stereo set, it will Sound warm and bassy.

i have used korg for a while now, i just wish there was more you could do with it, i guess for the price it’s good but korg is really stepping up their game. i use the sp300 it isn’t the best but still has a great sound

[@PasserbyP]

7:32 You do not need an audio interface device or drivers to record music onto your computer This was big, i just ordered it and thought this would be an issue. I'm a complete beginner so thought it would be nice if i could send records to a friend of mine or even play live online. This makes it much more simpler!

[@lordcustard-smythe-smith9153]

I think audio/midi out is a great idea - stick this in my laptop and add in some vst's and that's awesome for live or recording.

[@KeyboardTalks]

Totally agree!

Sounds good, i've been a long time looking for a digital piano. This might be the one. Not so basic as as n 45 and cheaper than an p 125.

Splitting and layering features not required on gigs because of audio over USB? Many of us are very reluctant to take computers to our gigs. There's not even a separate line-out on the B2. You have to use the headphone socket, so that probably cancels your onboard speakers and makes it hard to find compatible cables which are long enough. The sound and action are pretty good, but I prefer the Alesis Prestige which I have tested alongside the B2. If you're stage oriented, like me, you might prefer the Korg D1. It has a better action a simple screen, a strong build and controls close to hand. Line outputs of course. It still has no keyboard split, and has no speakers, but it does have legacy MIDI connectors, which are better for gigs than USB is.

[@jayck3489]

Hey this is such a good review. I've been thinking about buying this because you mentioned the MIDI direct input into the computer without any audio interface. Just quick question, does the USB come in with the package or is it a separate purchase?

[@joachimkjellgren]

How do you change sound and how know what sound you are on in the bank? It might be hard to Hear the difference beteende the different piano sounds for example.

I'm an audio engineer, and I haven't heard anything that good below 800 bucks. I can get this for 400 cad right now on sale. No brainer! Also let's be honest : harpsichord sounds always sucks. It's just a meme at this point

[@KeyboardTalks]

Jas - I rate my keyboards on how many harpsichord sounds they have. If it doesn't have a harpsichord sound, it just isn't a keyboard. Jk. But it is a great value instrument. Probably they best value 88-note in Australia at the moment

[@enlightenmentjunkie1]

Hey there! Great video! I really like this piano too and I’m trying to use it for recording purposes.. I’m pretty novice at piano and midi instruments.. I’m super frustrated though.. I have tried a bunch of times to figure out how to get it to record via USB cable but the only thing that happens is that it winds up playing the recording on the keyboard speakers.. I have tried a bunch of stuff in both Cakewalk and Reaper and I cannot get the piano to record or play through my headphones. I am a skilled amateur at recording and feel like I’ve tried everything. Can you offer any suggestions? (This also goes for other commenters as well)

[@odealianaffairs9001]

hey im planning to learn the piano as a beginner and slowly work my way up to more advanced repertoire. Is the action on this good enough for me to transition to an acoustic at some point without too much difficulty? Im really torn between this and the fp10.

Hey the action is definitely great for transitioning. I have the B2 and an acoustic piano and the transition is fairly seamless. GL.

Dude, I wanted a "pow" intro to this electronic piano that would lead me to stop drooling over the Roland FP-30X (with a bigger price tag) I kept saying "it doesn't look like the Korg is better" but your review changed my mind big time. I'm absolutely impressed with the tones... But I don't want a piano for playing "games" we already have 3 that have hundreds of tones..I was just wondering if I really needed the Roland's bells and whistles and it doesn't justify the larger price tag, heck no! Drooling over the Korg now and counting my pennies for when I'm ready to get it. 😊

I’ve rolled off as much treble as I can, and boosted the bass as much as I can…but I’m not getting the “warm” sound I’m looking for, plus the organ sounds are only Church Organ or Organ, again not what I’m looking for. Do you have any suggestions on achieving the sound I’m after?
