Korg Liano - All playing, No Talking by Dvorkys

[@parati1309]

I ❤ Liano! It's so good for the price. Amazing.

[@edgrigsby8610]

I love how you played that pianissimo octive B right around 1:17. Exquisite. In addition, it gives a good representation of the Korgs touch sensitivity.

[@Dvorkys]

Thank you! ;)

All your Korg Liano videos inspired me to order one a couple days ago just to have as a battery powered alternative to the Kawai ES120 I plan to get sometime in the first few months of next year. My last keyboard was a Yamaha YPG-235 that bit the literal dust a year or so ago and I sort of gave up for a while. But the keys are calling and I must return. Thank you for your excellent Liano videos. Couldn’t justify the cost of the ES120 as rusty as I am and the fact the Liano can run on batteries will be useful to have.

[@Dvorkys]

You're welcome! Have fun with the Liano! :)

[@johannahyttinen8899]

Hello @Micxhxael your comment is like a recap of my thoughts the past few weeks. I suppose you have received your Liano since then, what do you think of it? Any regrets not going straight for the Kawai ES120, or maybe the Liano is so satisfying that you don't even consider the Kawai any longer? I hope you are enjoying it!

Exquisite playing, stunning talent! Thank you! I had to listen again and saved to my best of keyboard and piano collections so I can revisit anytime. 😍🎹🎶

[@Dvorkys]

Thank you! :)

Incredible skill. Was thinking of an alesis concert but after hearing this. Im going korg liano no question, it sounds fantastic.

[@Dvorkys]

Thank you, have fun with your Liano! ;)

UPDATE: I bought the Korg Liano!! Thanks in part to you Pavel. It was your video that showed its attributes so well. Including its versatility. I must say i couldn't be happier. I used to have an older Yamaha P120. I sold it one day because I developed carpal tunnel and my fingers went numb after 10 minutes of playing. Because the Korg has a light touch, I CAN PLAY FOR HOURS!! no numbness at all. I can once again find my happy place, behind my piano! I haven't played in 10 years, but its amazing how fast I'm knocking the rust off my fingers! Thank you SOOO much for this video Pavel! Im not sure i would have made the decision to buy it without this amazing video!

Pleasure to read this! Have fun! ;)

@@Dvorkys Do you prefer to play on weighted or light keys? If you play piano and various sounds when connected as a midi keyboard.

[@Dvorkys]

@@e0236 It depends on the sounds I play. I like to play pianos on the weighted keys, and the rest of the sounds (organs, leads, ...) are great to play on light keys. Greetings. :)

[@fredjones100]

If Korg aren't paying you they should be! I was debating between the Liano and Roland FP-10 which were both available with good discounts but your demos helped convince me that the extra £70 for the Roland wasn't worth it for me. The lack of hammer action doesn't bother me as I'm not interested in becoming a "pianist" - you can still get a lot of expression out of the keyboard compared to other velocity sensitive ones I've used in the past. I'm never going to make it sound like you do but it still sounds good to me and I'm having fun playing it and learning a little more each time... shame it doesn't have Bluetooth but the USB MIDI & audio is nice to have.

[@Dvorkys]

Happy to read this! Hope Liano will provide you a lot of fun during playing! :) Greetings.

[@prashantmishra5691]

Nice. Love it. I'll get one soon and come back to update this comment Pavel.

[@Dvorkys]

Looking forward! :)

[@ekpiyalichai]

Thankyou for this ☕

[@Dvorkys]

Thank you too! :)

[@edgrigsby8610]

You just made my decision on this Korg instead of a Yamaha NP35. Do you have an album?? I LOVED your playing style!

[@Dvorkys]

It is nice to hear, thank you! Sure, I have some compositions done - if you have time, check my youtube channel! :) Greetings, Pavel

[@rex6rocks]

I'm just about to start on my Piano journey and have decided to go with the Liano for my first choice, your playing really made me solidify it, researched a lot for it and i think this would be the best choice.. feels like this is it. Getting it next week! Hope i like the "semi weighted, light touch" feel xD i dont even know what its supposed to feel like, ive just heard it in words from people online lol

[@Dvorkys]

Have fun with playing! ;)

[@bharat5194]

Nicely played ! As a former acoustic piano player, I'm looking to get back to playing a Digital piano now. Hows the keyboard action and the feel of the keys overall?

[@Dvorkys]

Hi there! The keybed on Liano is a very light weighted - comparable to the synthesizer/hammond organ keys. It means it is very light compare to classical hammer action keybed (pianos). But overall I like this one - you're able to set the dynamics level. If you grew up on acoustic piano hammer keybeds, I think Liano is not what you are looking for. Try to go for a models containing "piano like" hammer keybed - Korg B1, C1 D1, G1, LP380, Poetry,... Greetings! :)

[@paulyllow]

Hi. Awesome playing. I am curious which touch setting you used in your playing?

[@Dvorkys]

Hello! Thanks a lot! :) Regarding touch sensivity, I think I used the hardest one (less sensivity) 😀

[@Dvorkys]

@@e0236 Unfortunatelly I did not have a chance to try those you mentioned.

[@KillersWalkFree]

Awesome playing. Did you record with the headphone jack through an interface or did you use the USB port? Is there a difference in sound quality between the two?

[@Dvorkys]

I used the headphone jack. :)

[@myselfmusicworld5284]

Hello, what gear do you using to record this video ? Have you mix the piano sound ? Thx

[@Dvorkys]

Hi, I am using very simple setup - audio Interace, DAW, camera and a video editor. :) Cheers! :)

[@yslavova]

I am interested in the name of the first performance

[@Dvorkys]

Huh, I don't know.. Maybe "Piano improvisation #1"? 😀

[@yslavova]

​@@DvorkysIt sound like film music and is very inspiring.

[@Dvorkys]

@@yslavova Thank you very much. :)

[@kaisfp]

How responsive the its semi-weighted action feel? Do you have other keyboards (without fully weighted hammer action), how would you compare the Liano's keybed's responsiveness/expressiveness compared to other non-weighted keybed keyboards? I'm planning to order one, but the nearest shop that has this piano is over 400km from me and I would have to sleep in a hotel just to try the Liano out in the piano store, not to mention the gasoline and additional costs of this trip, so your input on the keybed responsiveness (in comparison to other keybeds too) would be very helpful input for me. Thank you so much for your help!

[@kaisfp]

I forgot to mention sorry, I'm asking your opinion about the keybed's responsiveness specifically for the default "Piano 1" sound on the Liano. Can you play expressively with it when using the Piano 1 sound? Thank you again!

[@Dvorkys]

Hi there! The keybed on Liano is a very light weighted - comparable to the synthesizer/hammond organ keys. It means it is very light compare to classical hammer action keybed (pianos). But overall I like this one - you're able to set the dynamics level. :) Greetings!

[@emmanfdt]

Hi, do you use midi?

[@Dvorkys]

Hello, I use the MIDI especially for programming the drums. It is a time saver! :)
