To be honest I've never "dived into the synth pool" yet; I don't really know anything about synthesizers, probably will take the leap one day. I'm loving the Yamaha YC-61 and the Roland A-49 is by far the best key action MIDI controller I've ever played.

@ Unfortunately for some strange reasons, Roland does not have a 61 key MIDI controller and its 88 key controller (that I had in the past) uses PHA-4 action. I actually prefer semi weighted action these days. Playing real piano is different than and hammer fully weighted digital piano action ever gave me.

I don't have a copy of Cubase so I can't test that for sure. But if you used a cabled connection (which I would recommend anyways to avoid lag) then it will work great and send audio back through the USB cable since there is a built in audio interface.

@PianoTone thanks alot. Have you used any software with laptop?

Thanks so much, very appreciated! And thanks for checking out the channel, feel free to subscribe

Piano voices are super personal, everyone likes something different - I usually prefer Yamaha over Casio or Roland, but there’s tons of people with the opposite opinion lol which is all good. Thanks for checking out the channel feel free to subscribe

@@PianoTone I definitely agree piano tones are subjective, but I also think there is an element of objective quality to everything. You probably wouldn't be saying that the Meike piano sound is a fully-fledged choice deserving to be compared with Yamaha, Korg or Roland :D Casio has definitely made good progress, but they're still only as good as they feel they need to be for the price point

There are tons of voices - they never name the organs “Hammond”, “vox” etc (I’m assuming for licensing); im sure there are Vox voices in there (there might be farfisa - I’m not familiar enough with farfisa to recognize it for sure). Thanks for checking out the channel feel free to subscribe

@@PianoTone I think it's called the F wave. I gotta know for sure, so I'm getting the Yamaha YC for that exact reason. I'm so tired of searching. Thanks for responding 👍

@@PianoTone I'm looking at the Tone List and it says Vox Pad under Organ settings at 29 . I just wonder, I'll have to take a trip to Guitar Center to find out, I guess.

Hmm . . . I don't see any voices in the organ section named Vox; there are a bunch of "Vox" in the synth section, but I just tried those out and those are NOT organs (I think they may be vocoders). There are some organs in the organ section that sound "vox'y" to me (they could be farfisas too, like I said I'm really only familiar with hammond). Some examples that sound like vox to me include: 96 Years (211), Glory Us Rock (212), 60s organ (109/110). And there are ton more organs in there. I'm not sure what "vox pad" you're referring to, I searched the tone list for that and couldn't see anything. Hope that helps!

@@PianoTone Thanks, I found the sound list at Roland but it was for the Gokeys 3 , but yeh, that would be 96 years' or 60s organ on the version 5 probably.

Thanks a lot! The app doesn't add any sounds, and doesn't give you the ability to modify any of the sounds either. It does give you a nice graphic interface for doing all the things/settings you could already do with the piano's key combinations though (layering, splitting with bass, modifying reverb types and levels, relative volumes etc) but that applies to all of the sounds. Hope that helps! Thanks for checking out the channel, feel free to subscribe

Thanks so much very appreciated (and pretty exciting!) I'm 5 away lol but should hit that by tomorrow :) Thanks for being such a great supporter of the channel!

@@PianoTone its pretty neat, took a lot of hard work, good job

@ we need a free give away to celebrate. How about a tee-shirt? If I don’t win one, I would buy one in your merch store…not kidding.

@@cinepost LOL I am looking into a merch store - I'll keep you posted!

Both the 3 & 5 have 74 built in drum kits; I can't offer an opinion on them since I haven't used them at all though, sorry! Thanks for checking out the channel, feel free to subscribe

LOL yeah I know :) I was originally doing this video with Norwegian Wood then switched at the last minute and misspoke. Thanks for checking out the channel.

It is a shame Yamaha didn't make it simpler. Thanks for checking out the channel, feel free to subscribe

Thanks so much! And the speakers on the GO:Keys 5 are ok, but they pale in comparison to the EW425; those are easily the best portable keyboard speakers I've ever encountered. It's not just the added power, Yamaha just makes awesome speakers; but the power does help even if it's not being used - bigger speakers even turned low can handle bass and low end better (in my opinion). Thanks for checking out the channel, feel free to subscribe

The app will follow what you are playing as long as you are connected to the app's from your keyboard's USB port. To hear both through your headphones, you need to just follow one the options I outline in the video. Thanks for checking out the channel, feel free to subscribe.

Hi there! Glad you like your EW425 (it is an awesome keyboard). And I use SongBook Pro daily and it is a great app, but every time there's an update it LOOKS like your backing tracks have disappeared. They haven't, it's just the link between the app and the file is somehow lost. All you have to do is (from within SongBook Pro) delete the link and reset it. So long press the PLAY button on a song, and the little window pops up, click the trash can to delete the "link" and then just click the PLAY button again to re-establish the link. I've been meaning to reach out to SBP and ask about this for awhile - I will and if there's any other solution I'll update this comment. As far as the Samsung thing, maybe this issue is only on the iOS version (I use an old iPad). Thanks for checking out the channel, feel free to subscribe

That's good to know thanks for sharing. And thanks for checking out the channel, feel free to subscribe

Any significant updates?

@@cinepost the midi renaming bug is fixed; the new features may be useful to some

Since you included organ in there; definitely the Numa's action is the best all round. It actually IS semi-weighted (Fatar) and as far as I know they have made organ actions for Hammond, Nord & their own discontinued Numa Organ as well. The CK's action is fine, but the Numa felt super similar to action on my Hammond SK Pro. But it's still easy to get used to playing piano and EP on as well. I do think the organ sounds on the CK are a bit better, but they're good on the Numa too, and they both have organ controls like you said. Hope that helps!

@ thanks!

That waas Jamzone. Did a review here: th-cam.com/video/tU9sGJzdcB0/w-d-xo.html Great app but FYI the pricing model has changed since I did the review; you no longer "buy" tracks for life, it's now a subscription model. Thanks for checking out the channel, feel free to subscribe

I've never seen one, I don't think it was a commercial success for Yamaha; when it was first released it was insanely (in my opinion) priced - it was more than twice the cost of a DGX-670 which made no sense to me, and I thought the "falling lights" / synthesia light up keys style feature was gimmicky. No stores where I lived ever brought them in so I never saw one. But it sounds like the price has dropped a bunch so maybe it is a good choice but to be honest I can't really offer a fair opinion since I've never even seen one. My gut reaction (since I know the DGX would be to go that wat instead), but again; probably not fair to say since I haven't seen the P-S500. Hope that helps! Thanks for checking out the channel, feel free to subscribe if you haven't already :)

The CK88 has an audio interface built into the USB port, so both MIDI and audio will be sent to the app through a USB connection. What you record at the app side depends what kind of track you are recording - if you choose a midi track you will get midi if you choose an audio track you will get audio. Thanks for checking out the channel feel free to subscribe

If you have and like a P-125 and there's nothing wrong with it i would say no, unless you REALLY want the CFX Grand piano sound and the BlueTooth audio; beyond that . . . you're probably good with the 125 to be honest (unless you have a P-125a which doesn't have the audio interface in which case I would say yes upgrade) Thanks for checking out the channel, feel free to subscribe.

Yeah it's really just meant to be an add-on to a digital piano to give you the great organ sounds and functionality

Thanks for checking out the channel, feel free to subscribe

I don’t think the app can receive any kind of input from a keyboard like that. Thanks for checking out the channel feel free to subscribe

@@PianoTone Hi. Thank you for your repply. As I suspected, that software doesn't such options.

I agree - loopMidi does help alleviate it though. Thanks for checking out the channel, feel free to subscribe

The CK only has 1 MIDI in, but with a device like the DOREMIDI USB Host box you might be able to: th-cam.com/video/tCPGI17cly8/w-d-xo.html It has a USB MIDI in as well as a 5 pin MIDI in; and the USB MIDI in can have a hub connected to combine multiple MIDI sources. How that would manifest itself in the CK I can't guarantee; I would THINK/HOPE that the 5 pin MIDI in and USB could be routed in the to 2 different sound backs (B&C etc) but I honestly can't say for sure. Hope that helps! Thanks for checking out the channel, feel free to subscribe

I’m super curious about those speakers too; my local stores aren’t stocking them yet but if they do I’ll rent one for sure. So I can’t say for sure about these speakers vs the Liano, but I will definitely prefer the action on the Liano. Thanks for checking out the channel feel free to subscribe

@@PianoTone I know you can't compare speakers until you've tried the new 76 key Casio, but I'm really interested to know how you compare the acoustic piano sound of the Liano with that of the 61 key Casio, as presumably it will be the same on the 76 key model? That's something I meant to ask you in my previous comment! Thanks Tony.

You would need an external audio interface like a Focusrite Scarlett, you connect the keyboard to that and then connect the interface to a device (tablet or computer) with DAW software to record. Thanks for checking out the channel feel free to subscribe

It does work super well!

@@PianoTone nice... but it looks like I cannot buy it from Germany :( I will check again!

No worries! Thanks!

I don't think they're officially "noise cancelling" but they do cover your ears and would reduce outside noise. Make sure you also check out the "Pro" line (which is WAY better especially for music production); I've been using Pro 50's for a year now they are awesome: th-cam.com/video/KC4raa0RX2Y/w-d-xo.html Thanks for checking out the channel, feel free to subscribe

@PianoTone brought them Amazon thanks

It's a great idea. Thanks for checking out the channel, feel free to subscribe

It will be interesting to see what Yamaha does with their new versions. I really want to see them add chord fingering modes (full keyboard detection especially); they've been lagging behind with only 2 for way too long. The E383 didn't change much in that area, so not sure we'll see a change with the E483 but I guess we wait and see. Thanks for checking out the channel, feel free to subscribe

Thanks so much (again!) for supporting the channel!

@@PianoTone would be a good video to show the Blues Style Pack you pick up from Roland cloud. How much are the style packs?

As far as I know, the USB-C only sends MIDI out, it does not accept incoming MIDI so it could only be used to control another keyboard, not BE controlled by another keyboard. The CK61 has a proper 5 pin MIDI in port so it works perfect. Thanks for checking out the channel, feel free to subscribe

Thank you very much for your quick response, it’s a shame for the midi in, but I will keep both of them which are very good and different! Of course I subscribe to your channel....

It will either say either P-125 or P-125a on the top panel of the keyboard. Thanks for checking out the channel feel free to subscribe

Thanks so much! And I'm LOL'ing at "Green Chicken 32" . . . .
