So funny how they don’t say the actual names of the instruments...if anyone is worried about copyrights, those companies need to actually do something with their properties.

@alanduncan19806 ай бұрын
I doubt it. They just choose to be ridiculous. Maybe they have actual Rhodes pianos that they want to sell because they're more expensive, so they don't want to advertise the Yamaha as being capable of sounding like a Rhodes, even though that's exactly what it does and it really should be mentioned that it has the classic Rhodes / Wurly sounds.

You have this with many simulations of these two. I came across "Roads" or "Worli" names. So I think it's still a trademark issue.

Can it play lower octaves and sound like organ pedals or like a Fender Rhodes Bass Piano? I love playing my bass for fun, but at my age, the poor ergonomics of playing a bass guitar are just wreaking havoc on my hands, wrists forearms and shoulders and back. I'd like to try something different before I give up on music completely, but I'm very partial to bass and anything with a vintage vibe.

Is there a looper, too? If not. Why does not Yamaha licence a proper looper technology from Phil Tipping? Sequetron by Phil Tipping is a phenomenal looper, so contact Phil and check if you can license this original technology? All reface users who do not want to wait for Yamaha licensing or adding a powerful looper into reface, simply check Sequetron by Phil Tipping. It can force to scale, chords, held notes and much more, there is nothing like it I know. Vangelis and Tangerine Dreamers will love it.

Hi kdgfg, while you certainly can play keys through a guitar amp (especially if you want the distortion), you'll get a much more high-fidelity sound from a dedicated keyboard amp or full-range PA speakers. In this video you're hearing the Reface Audio Outs combined with a mixer and then sent directly to the video camera Audio Ins. Thanks for watching!

It meant to be modular synth at first, but they decided later to give it a keyboard. You can plug a midi keyboard with the feeling u like the best (so you ll have a great synth + keyboard for about 600$) and you can just take you yamaha CP by itself and play it anywhere with bateries... So, this to me is not a fail !

They also need proper 5 pin DIN MIDI In and Out sockets, instead of being forced to use a crappy little adapter cable that I know I'll lose or break, then have to re-buy periodically at a ridiculous Yamaha accessory price.
