Kraft Music - Yamaha CP4 STAGE Digital Piano Demo with Blake Angelos

[@keyboardsynergy]

Finally a great stage piano presented with a comprehensive overview and skilled musician/sales rep.This is stupendous! Thank you team Yamaha and Blake Angelos.What a welcome addition to their line of instruments and demo videos.BRAVO!

[@blakeangelos]

The DX pianos are sampled, but they are VERY good! There was only so much time so we couldn't cover everything but there are lots of FM pianos in the CP4.

[@jakejacobs126]

2:40 Rootless C#9 13 #11 Spelled F-B-Eb-G-Bb Stolen. I normally use Rootless C#7 b9 b5 Spelled F-B-D-G-B Slight variation on my part but both chords get the point across. Kinda like his version a little better.

[@J._Campbell]

Absolutely the best digital piano I ever heard! Awesome.

[@SimplyTomasTheCollection]

You have made this super easy for me. I'll be purchasing one very soon. Thanks!

[@ivanmay7890]

A lot of Toto members use these. Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac uses it too

[@Lumios_UA]

Thanks for the demo! I really enjoyed the video! So many awesome keyboards appeared on the market - Yamaha CP4, Korg Krome, Kurzweil Artis... Have no idea which one to choose because I like all of them!

[@craigchivers3518]

Fantastic Demo. Great playing and wonderful personality.

[@sifud3268]

Besting. Kurzweil gotta come up. That chord at 1:36. Beautiful

[@MerlinsMelody]

sounds almost better than a real piano. those new stage piano's are blowing my mind

[@kraftmusic]

I believe the CP4 has a sampled DX piano…sorry, we didn't get a chance to demo that particular sound. Thanks for watching! - Dave McCullough Kraft Music Marketing [phone]

[@lindasfree1]

Kraft Music has bundles with the pedals. Price is about $799 without bundles. Adding bench, speaker, pedals adds to price.

[@monsterjazzlicks]

Is the CP88 much better?

[@Anvanho]

Great video! Sounds wonderful!

[@pianistjustforfun]

nice demo & great playing !

[@dannyhsiahaan7173]

hi, what is the best choise between MONTAGE8 and MX8 and how much is the price of MONTAGE8 and MX88? we need one the best one for our church

[@stoichoXS]

Please write how to set the sustain pedal to manage the work of only one sound. thanks

[@xiec]

It looks a bit boxy and cheaper but it sounds very good. Wonder why the number went down to CP4 and not up to CP6? Is this some sort of compromise model?

[@incuriainre01]

Nice demo. Thanks.

[@NASAVstudios]

Blake, does the dedicated [TRANSPOSE] buttons up on deck work the same as they do on the MOX8 AND MOXF8?

[@Shadowshamer]

He plays beautifully.

[@carlosmaximo2390]

A sensação q se tem é de se estar tocando num piano de verdade é incrível já toquei num desse é realmente muito bom

[@xerosperex]

Thank you for the great demo. I am very interested in this stage piano. I play classical music, I would like to know: is possible to connect to this piano a triple pedal unit with sustain, sostenuto, SOFT? Again, Thank you...

[@Pianosmichel33deNuit]

very nice démo , many thanks , michel

[@xerosperex]

First, thanks to the team Kraftmusic for upload these great videos. I want this piano for Christmas, but I'm playing classical music. is possible to connect to this stage piano a pedal unit with sustain, sostenuto, soft? Because in the Yamaha CP-1 is possible.. This is very important to me. I await your reply ASAP. Again Thank you..

[@manugarroustejazz]

Hi Blake greetings from France, I am a jazz pianist and I recently bought the CP 4. What would you use to amplify it for small gigs?

[@superiorsam]

iSeraphor you can't meet the cfx and s6 acoustic grand piano sounds on cp40 :( , the cp40 also have a great piano sound, but only have 1 acoustic piano sound, but in cp4 have a 3 different distinctly acoustic piano sounds

[@tlepiano]

What about CP1, please give me a piece of advice between CP1 or CP4 if I want only Piano sound, regardless to the price. Thank you for your time and opinion !

[@instrumentalistjade8367]

TLE Piano cp3 is a houston rockets player now

[@antonionupi]

Does anyone know which voice assign as a layer @15:11? Thanx in advance!

[@JordanBranthwaite]

Are any of the sliders MIDI assignable in software such as MainStage / Logic?

[@sepulchred]

Hi Kraft, how does the CP40 compare to this?

[@LeobertJarina]

can I control the volume of the instrument using volume pedal?

[@locs74]

Are the non-piano sounds from the motif xs or xf?

[@milanveles6820]

And where are fantastic Yamahas DX pianos? Has CP4 original FM generator, or only DX sample imitations?

[@JosephAkins]

Can you have the sustain pedal only work one one sound/side when you do a split?

[@stoichoXS]

+Joseph Akins Please write if you understand how to make the sustain pedal to work only one sound. Thanks

[@jamesgeiger4795]

How do the pianos on the CP5 compare to the CP4?

[@arnobertogna4718]

What speaker(s) or amplifier are using for this demo?

[@spada60]

Wonderful demo. Does anyone who owns this piano get a weird sounding overtone like an irritating ringing sound when you strike the C#2, D2, & D#2 keys when using the S6 piano. I think it's a bad sample and it is on all the CP4s & the Yamaha MOXF S6 piano as well. Please let me know if anyone hears this.

[@JuzzlinOSS]

+spada60 Yes. This also happens on the lowest A#1 on CFX.

[@vizardstorm]

Price? im really interested

[@Espectro101]

this demo is more of a demo on compression that the piano sound!

[@michaelhartmann9971]

Yamaha S90 SX is all that and more

[@markjaylandes]

And it weighs like 90 lbs. 😱

[@VikaKim]

I've just played 'Super Mario Medley' with yamaha CP4 It sounds really good. kzbin.info/www/bejne/injMoXuNhtGMd9E

[@lmaestro]

Thanks for sharing this performance.

[@thepianoplayer416]

Sounds impressive. How does a Yamaha stage piano compared to a similar stage piano from Roland? Such as a V-Piano for instance? Is Roland overpriced? Anybody got any opinion?

[@Wistbacka]

Yamaha is the overpriced brand. I love Yamahas, but when comparing them to their rivals you usually get the same quality for less money. Usually others also have more features for the buck.

[@brianclemensmusic]

I love how he can't just say "rhodes" and has to say RD1

[@steffanjansenvanvuuren5061]

A stage piano should have build in speakers which acts as monitor speakers...

2:30 - Left hand you say!? :D

[@instrumentalistjade8367]

What is wahwah?

[@blakeangelos]

My other left!

[@Wistbacka]

How is this piano compared to Roland RD-800?

[@JohnJanssensDeVarebeke]

Much better action than the RD-800 IMO. Wooden keys as well; sweet! It was going to be the Nord Piano or the CP4, and I chose the CP4, slightly more affordable.

[@tartan11463]

No actually is YAMAHA CP1

[@firstimpression9399]

tartan11463 SOLD ROLAND RD..the middle c of the keyboard is flat as h&%$#$%ll! I lost money big time on that one. The ep piano's are great and some sweet guitar sounds but hell...o I'm a piano player.. You can not fix RD. Roland piano's even if you stuffed a Steinway in its aspiring!!!! The Moxf s6 piano's did not catch me, but then thats a workstation. The best is the Cp4 save money don't buy cp1 because its not enough difference between the 2..# jazzy ascanb123

[@johnalfieri1613]

Beats the Roland in the action{ LOVE the action ! } AP sounds are better. Took a lot of work to get the RD to sound less muddy or processed. Hard to explain. User friendliness, the CP4 wins there too. Very easy to get to everything in a split second when on stage. All sounds are easily edited. once you get the routine down. There are a few steps but then it becomes second nature and you really tweak every sound to your liking and save for performance mode. Love the compression button for extra punch when I need to cut through the band. The casing is not as sleek or as sturdy as the Mp7 but it looks nice, and it is light. I have had it for a year and gigged almost every weekend with NO issues of any kind. Only compliments on the quality of sound. My point is, that it is road worthy by all means. Just get a decent case. I padded my Gator case which was sturdy all around except on top. Just Velcro'd 3 strips of sound proof foam {sponge } in the case to protect the top of the piano. Works great !

[@Oleg__]

USB Audio Recorder? If no, so I say thank you, but NO. Your competitors have one, as well as 256-note polyphony and less price.

[@brianbernstein3826]

am I the only person who prefers the P255 action? I know the CP4 has real wooden keys but they feel kind of flimsy to me... it's harder for me to control them with precision in classical pieces. thing is, I'd much rather buy a CP4 because the piano sound is better, and I love the electric pianos, synth leads, etc, and the P255 only has a few basic sounds. every pianist I've ever met in my life prefers the CP4 and I just don't get it... the P255 just feels so much nicer to my hands...

[@kraftmusic]

You might consider the Yamaha CP40. It's got the same key action as the P255 but is more closely related to the CP4. It doesn't have as many sounds or features, but you might find that it's a good compromise that is well suited to your preferences. -Ben x4052

[@davehorne7207]

I prefer the action from the P250 and P300.

[@goognamgoognw6637]

This keyboard is a turn backwards. Does not have samples for each 88 keys instead it uses sample stretching to create the missing notes. Uses looping to make a sound last, does not have sympathetic string resonnance, is too bright in sound. is cheaply built.

[@Mooncalf2012]

If Yamaha can model authentic 'Electric' piano sounds, why can't they make decent and expressive, FM/DX sounds in their products, (without an expensive add-on board ala S90)? I would consider the DX electric pianos an essential sound in a stage piano that mimics everything else, especially with the name Yamaha on the front. Is Yamaha ashamed of their roots?

[@ergbudster3333]

U play too good, bro. How bout a demo fro us shlubs that can hardly play? U too intimidating.

[@TheMoonchild1969]

This man can't tell left from right. Should revise his videos before pressing the send button.😂

[@mikethekeys]

I bought this keyboard last year and I absolutely hate it. I can't quite put into words the total disappointment... and what a fool I was to rush into buying it! This truly is an awful excuse of a keyboard. As other people have commented previously, the sounds are totally lifeless and I don't know how I managed to convince myself at the time that it was gonna be a game-changer. If you are new to keyboard playing you may think it's excellent, but it isn't. I rank it somewhere between dreadful and abysmal.... In my opinion it's best used for playing background restaurant Jazz. (I notice all the Yamaha demonstrators on KZbin also seem to elect to play exactly that style on the C4 piano presets) There is a useful half-decent double-bass preset, but all the other sounds are far from ground-breaking. In fact they are dreadfully dull. It's a horrible keyboard to play and don't be fooled by the demos. I'm speaking as a forty year old musician that has been playing keyboards all my life. Yamaha - your clavinovas of the late 90's were more fun to play than this so-called best digital stage-piano Yamaha has ever produced!! What a load of cobblers! I am selling mine if anyone wants it? Based in Essex.

[@4tkStudios]

mikethekeys Really appreciate your comment. Will cross this off the list of what I'm looking at. Thanks!!

[@F0nkyNinja]

+mikethekeys The best digital stage piano by Yamaha would be the CP1.

[@mikethekeys]

+Dilly Vue Yep, that's fine....it's taking up space in my hallway! Yours for £1000 It's only been played a couple of times. Where are you based?

[@instrumentalistjade8367]

i bought a cp4... we all have different taste, thats your choice.. so don’t complain ✌️😀.. i love mine and i use it alot.. i also have a nord stage 2 and a kronos 2 and a rd-800.. 😀 and the cp4 is my favorite

[@yeahuri4724]

Let me get it right. You're complaining about style is it? If yes you are getting into the wrong category I believe. This is a portable stage piano/synthesizer meant to play with other performers (from my perspective). It give you all sort of abilities and effects to shape your sound while you play in a band or in a pro studio recording. If you still consider Yamaha's product, you might as well check out some of their new Clavinovas as you mentioned. Or the NP series for portability.Also, do ask the sales guy for advice and tell them exactly what you want before purchase something so pricy. Hope it helps.

[@straizys]

It's one of the real disaster stage-pianos ever. Very bad synthetic sounding like piano sounds. Avoid this model - it's terrible.

[@robcrisp6875]

I think it sounds great especially hearing it against all the other pianos. What are you playing through. I'll have to hear it for myself I guess.

[@NisseOhlsen]

Which one(s) do you recommend instead?

[@straizys]

Try Roland FP-80, RD300sx , RD300nx, or RD700nx (my least favorite of those) for an amazing piano sound.

[@stasiso]

Could you explain more detailed, why is it terrible?

[@ab3947]

Those are the most moody piano i have played from Roland. i never seems to like Roland always they sound muffled to me.

[@jsprite123]

How does the CP4 compares to the CP300?
