Loving my Yamaha CP88! Looking forward to the next future update. Hopefully more intimate character pianos keep coming, with woody sound… Great addition with the fine touch curve tuning. Thank you, Yamaha!

JESUS CHRIST died for you on a cross for our sins. 3 days after his death he resurrected and is The TRUE LIVING GOD. In a prayer repent from your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and also ask for the HOLY SPIRIT to come into you in that same prayer as well. Have FAITH in CHRIST. You could come to Jesus Christ as you are, but once you accept Him, you have to become new, change, and be born again, and turn away from all wicked ways. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. God Bless You. JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK SOON.

Is that Hamburg Grand perhaps a model D?

[@hvarskloxofficial8969]

The tone, especially in the lowest and highest registers, seems nearly identical to every model D I have played on, including a few in Salzburg and Vienna. Also, it seems to fills a tonal space between the CFX and Bösendorfer 290 samples, where the former is bright as in real life and the latter is dark and woody. A combination of the CFX's crisp brightness and Bösendorfer 290's resonance makes the Steinway D-274 versatile in sampled form as in real life, in my book.

[@florinpeter4239]

Hello. What speakers are used to play the sound?

[@benjaminacargen7799]

what keyboard amp did you use on/with this CP88, I suggest that you also include the amp that sounds well with the particular keyboard. . . . Benjie/Philippines.

[@LeeBlaske]

I would be pretty sure they just recorded the CP88 here directly, with no amp. If you want a really great amp for keyboards like this, I'd highly recommend checking into the Mackie DLM8 and DLM12 units. Very compact, and VERY powerful. If you want a good piano sound, you really need a pair of amps for stereo. Keyboards sound lifeless in mono.

[@nusstu]

Does anyone know how to record out from the keyboard like this? Thanks

[@restorationconcrete]

I’m not an expert but I think you will need an interface to go between the keyboard and your midi cable to your computer. You will need a recording program commonly called DAW as well. There are free programs you can use. Google the details.

[@azuro8168]

There are two ways of recording your CP88. 1) You plug in your Cp to a Audio interface and the record this trough the Interface which is sonnected to your PC. 2) the cheaper Version: Get a USB MIDI cabel (USB-A to USB-B) and plug it into a PC. Download the SOftware from Yamaha and you are free to go :)
