Another great video! As I mentioned in another comment on your Korg GS- Roland RD 2000 comparison, the CP 88 was a huge letdown. My feeling is as an overall gigging keyboard it cannot compare to the Roland or the Korg. I prefer sound AP sound quality on the Korg over the Roland and CP 88. For a gigging musician of course out of five hundred or thousand sounds I will come away with about 20 to 25 max that I will use regularly if even that and the 25 I found on the Korg surpass the same sounds on any other board that I played except the organs on the Nord. The grandstage organs are very good though and have a nice Leslie effect. As far as the action. playability and expressiveness as another person on here mentioned, adjust the velocity curve to 9 and it's a game changer becoming extremely expressive and a pleasure to play. I had the CP4 for 5 years and it took me 10 minutes to become extremely comfortable with this action. The GS blows the CP4 away in AP sounds. GREAT GIGGING BOARD.

Wow. Nice Side-By-Side. I do a fair bit of orchestral composition and the strings pushed me over the top into the KORG camp. Strings: 18:28. Thanks for the video

I like the 3-part layers in the CP, but the Korg is a better value with the 32Gb of mainly piano samples, several modeled organs, and a workstation-level selection of other sounds.

Quick follow up; My only critique of this video is some of the sounds you selected to demo on the grandstage. For instance the organ sounds on the Grandstage which are a large variety mostly blow away the cp88 organs of which there are only 10 I believe. You chose one of the weaker organ sounds in the GS and probably the best on the Yamaha cp88 because I have played it. The best of yamaha's are barely usable for a rock band.There are so many to choose from on the Grandstage and you should have played some of the very strong ones which would blow away yamaha's. Other than that it's a very good comparison video.

For me Yamaha keyboards has old like sound, like mellotron. Its good but old. In the other hand KORG sound has life. Its like the real instrument its really present and not just a sample.

[@damytriton]

For me Korg piano sound..!! Beautiful and clear ..!!

[@Gangl10n]

How you record sound - from line out to what? And which parameters of sound 16bit or 24 and other. Because sound is very good vs others youtube bloggers review.

[@germanshepherdlover2613]

I prefer the look of the Yamaha but prefer the sound of the Korg. A mini light weight Grandstage with inbuilt speakers just like the Roland Rd-88 would be perfect

[@jeffreyreid6981]

If you put the velocity curve 9 u will see the g korg grand stage sounds way much better more richer more fuller I have both of them

[@h88sixtyone38]

Can u explain the velocity curve 9? I have the GS and the montage 8, the GS doesn’t sound nearly as good IMO.

[@adamecomp]

@@h88sixtyone38 In settings, the key response of feel is called velocity and it has 9 or 10 different setting choices. Plus, the Dynamics knob dials it in even further for a personalized feel! I'm sure by now you already know this, but I thought it was proper to give a response. :-)

The Korg sounds very nice. The CP88 is weak, even on pianos.

[@jeffreyreid6981]

But you must remember every six months they are updating the CP Yamaha with new OS they have a new CF three the new 73 Rhodes studio new 74 case and 73 suitcase

[@thatomodukanele1977]

Korg won

[@geoffk777]

I really don(t hear much difference here. But I have a Montage and a Kronos2 and I really prefer the sound and action on the Yamaha.

[@dirkkeersmaekers4343]

Korg!

@@ProficiencyMusic very cool! Like new track of trap

[@jeffreyreid6981]

Now the action on the Yamaha CP 88 is better The eps are tossup because both have good Eps
