Yamaha Piaggero NP-12 Overview

[@PepperHand]

Absolutely fantastic piece of hardware. I was gifted one from a friend who never much got into piano since I already played guitar and it’s been one of my best friends. Fantastic for learning and gigs, it sounds incredible , hard to believe the quality you get for the price imo. I learned on this with no understanding of piano and it took me forever to figure out I needed a sustain pedal when I finally sat down at a grand piano and knew what to do. Couldn’t be happier with it.

[@hiroaikawa3565]

I have this keyboard in black color. It is such a good instrument, the first one I ever owned and I love it. If you’re just starting out, I highly recommend it. I might buy the NP-32 next!

Trainer Aleks You hit the nail on the head.

[@zacpiya]

Exactly!

[@albertoaguilar9773]

Yeah but this one is good for people who are beginning, as im a begginer id like to have one of this, and when i advance in my skill ill get a real piano

[@leowillow]

get a real piano hun, really isn't worth it! maybe second hand?

[@zakramsey3508]

Agreed. I've seen a lot of those 100 unrealistic sounds, I actually have one of those big pianos with cheesy sounds at home from about ten years ago when I was a child, but I've grown back to my musical taste and seen the true awful unrealistic-ness of strings and pianos. Boy, those violins and harps sure sound like everything else, but with the strings on this, it's not even that bad. The organ sounds a bit cheesy but I won't be using an organ.

[@Blaisesongs]

Great little piano for the songwriting moment... don't need anything more than this. Simplicity. Less is more.

[@baddudesa-bomb1316]

So i just bought this last week, it's really great, i think it's a pretty good starter instrument, but i don't really know how to connect it with my PC. I mean sure, i got the USB cable, i plugged it in, but then what? What kind of software should i use? Is there something like Guitar rig but for pianos? Help?

[@baddudesa-bomb1316]

Hey, thanks for the zero replies guys! I actually figured it out on my own. I'm just posting this here so if anybody ever has the same problem i did, they can read this and make things work. So what i did is that i acquired a wonderful little program called AIR music technology Ignite, which is basically the same thing as Guitar rig, but for keyboards only. I know intermediates and master players will probably say it's baby software, or whatever, but this is my very first keyboard, and my first program for it, and i'm having a great amount of fun with them together. So yeah, get that, it's fun.

[@elins4143]

thanks for the info man :)

[@humbertoestrada231]

does it come with a thing to connect it to the wall outlet

[@baddudesa-bomb1316]

humberto estrada I guess it depends on where you buy it. Mine came as a full package with headphones, sustain pedal, stand, adapter and even a little cloth you can use to wipe it.

[@JoshieDotEXE]

BadDudes A-Bomb just a question since I can't find the answer anywhere, but are the keys weighted at all? and if so are they heavy? I've been looking into getting this piano haha.

[@BizarreAvenir]

Do you think they will launch a new one this year? Between the 11 and 12 there were 5 years. This year it will be 5 years since launch of the np-12. Wanted to buy this one. It will be my first keyboard and I am a total beginner.

[@pianostuff191]

The next piaggero needs to have 2 piano sounds, 3 e-pianos ( rhodes, wurlitzer and fm piano), 3 organs (rock, jazz and pipe), 1 clav and 1 string sound. Then it would be perfect!

[@Amykita]

You are sooo right! Why doen't this have a nice e-piano Rhode type sound OMG that's what I needed to travel! So frustrating. The best invention would be a keyboard where we could import our sounds.

[@Norinot1]

Its a really good device I have bought it but there is one thing I miss from it. There are no feature such sustain , I can only do that if I buy the sustain pedal part for it instead of there should be a button to just simply sustain everything . Atleast there is rewerb so I could play with it so it sounds like it sustains a little bit cuz I dunno I like to play while everything is on sustain but now I have to cost a few 10-30 eurs to get the pedals wich is a pain in the ass. Other than that the device is perfect for me ! I love it!

I am beginner, I play classical music and I'm searching for a sound as similar as possibile to an acoustic piano, in the limits of my budget which unfortunately is only 200$. Is Yamaha np12 a good choice?

[@Tricroman]

If you play classical go for a 88 key piano.

[@AndySalinger33]

Croman is right. But still, for your budget, the NP-12 is an excellent choice! Mine serves me well. It offers the essentials. Great regulation and true piano sound. Yamaha always delivers, and this simple keyboard is legit. I bought mine for $140 @ guitar center. As long as you can deal with 61 keys, you're golden.

If you're looking for a free program to record the sound (with a USB cable), I'd suggest Audacity. While I don't use it, it's a good free option. If you're ok spending some money for a license, I'd suggest the wonderful program GoldWave. Just set the microphone option to "loopback".

[@alansturgess1324]

Shame one of the organ voices isn't a Hammond or jazz-type sound. But still a great keyboard - there's also a full length 88 key version.

[@alansturgess1324]

Irrelevant. No. of keys has nothing to do with anything. There could easily have been two very different organ sounds but Yamaha chose two that were far too similar. I had the NP32 and the voices were the same. Alesis DO provide the two different options within just 12 voices. I didn't want all the fancy rubbish on so many digital keyboards & pianos so I changed the NP32 for the Alesis.

[@joycec153]

I just got this keyboard a few weeks ago and I’m not sure if I just got a defective one but it makes an ugly clicking noise whenever I press the keys.

In a real piano there are no lights on the keys, so with that premise you can rest easy in choosing the Yamaha. Although what I always say is that you choose the one that sounds best for you.

Why iOs?

Really? This software for piano is available on Android? Can't find them on Google play.
