That freaking rules! I love 70s keys and synths, and that little synth has some serious soul to it. Way to show it off as well, very expressive and the sounds are so comforting and familiar. Thousands of songs from the 70s are doable with this 🤩
@@JonathanRCross I have to dig in on the keys but it's very inspiring to play and to mess around with effects on the sound. Once I get my mixer I'll be back in the group challenges again. I can't really jam with a two channel interface.
Am not sure as I've never really played the reface's actual keyboard, I did consider it when planning a gig, but I'd be taking the big keyboard anyway so may as well benefit from the extra width and range. But no idea sorry.
I'm trying to decide if it's worth going right for the YC73 at $2600, or getting one of these as I save for the YC. I hate buying equipment I'm going to sell in 6 months, but the Reface CP seems to have it's own character worth keeping, even after I get the YC. Thanks again for a great demo.
Hilarious because I've been exactly the same about the yc! It's next on my list(edit: no it isn't, the reface yc is on my list, not the yc73😆) (mostly due to the Leslie sim!) I'd say the cp will also bring you lots of glorious warm sounds as well, but can't tell you one way or the other. Save to say, both are inevitable at some point!! 🙌
Thankyou! I have a number of synths and drum machines in my setup. In this case the outputs from the cp, go into a small mixer which has a usb audio out into my computer , but essentially yes the output is just what you hear from the cp (via a mixer)
Truly an awesome little device. Same as the yc awesome Hammond plus Leslie ! Keyboard is a Casio previa px330. I bought it cos it’s incredibly light to move about. So it’s not a proper midi controller but a pretty decent (lightweight) piano/keyboard. Still does the job
@@JonathanRCross Cool, I'm looking for a decent midi controller for the stuido, but want a nice action for low price. Probably gonna go with the Kawai es120 feels amazing to play, gonna take my reface cp to the shop and connect it to see how it pairs with the Kawai keybed. The recent Casio's are way better than they used to be. And they have a lighter action than most brands which I like. So many of the weighted midi controllers are fatiguing to play for more than short periods and it drains the fun out of it. Thanks for getting back to me
@@JonathanRCross I also have a Casio CTs1 but I need a usb hub to control the Reface CP. I'm not a pianist so don't want to invest in an 88 keyboard, 61 is enough. Reface CP is much brighter and livelier than the Rhodes tones on CTs1. I should invest in a usb hub.
Hi Lee. It’s a casio px330. Not specifically a midi keyboard (doesn’t even have amid wheel) but it works fine. And no issues I just plugged in the midi cable and off I went.
@@JonathanRCross I ordered a Reface CP and am looking for a MIDI controller (88/61 keys) with semi weighted keys to play with it. Heard that the CP has issues with M-Audio controllers so I thought maybe the CP is picky.
@@autismguy2060 you don’t need a mixer. I use mine cos I have a load of other gear. You can just use the audio out the reface cp. it doesn’t output usb audio tho. So if you want to record into a computer you’ll need an interface. ( my mixer also has usb audio interface that I use to output all my synths )
I like your style. It's refreshing to hear this in the synth-jams world.
Thankyou!!! 🙌 🎛 🙌 🖤

@markfish8403 yey!! 🙌 glad you enjoyed. And yes it's such a cool little keyboard. I also bought the organ version (yc) but I prefer the CP.
Fun, just got the CP for 2 hours and really got through the same kinda journey (including the looping) 😅Beautiful instrument. Cheers from Netherlands
THanks Mahu! It's a lush little thing!
Always impressed by your piano skills. That reface cp fits you like a charm. Good choice !
Thanks djk I agree with the cp! Now the only problem is I need the yc!
Cool jazz man as Im electrified by your talent
THanks Cuz!
Great jamming and going with the flow. That Yamaha Reface does a great job with those classic electric piano sounds.
Thanks Luke! How's your's doing? The real thing! 🙌

What a demo !! Very nice
Thabks a lot Gary!!
Wow~~ this is so nice Jazz sound. 👍👍 Very to good listen while working in the office with my cowokers😆😆😆
GLad you liked it! :-)
Thank you for this demo, beautiful sounds very inspiring and make want to try out Reface CP, but first reface YC!
Thanks and you're welcome! I am hankering after a YC too. Purely for the leslie sim 😂
Hi I finally got the YC! Took me long enough!
Can't stop smiling.You're amazing!!
And I need to get refaceCP too 🤤 (but actually there's no stocks on any shops even in my country Japan 😵)
Thankyou!! 🙌 🖤 sorry to hear there no stock. I think its similar here with the yc..
Nice Jamming. It sounds beautiful😀🎶
Thanks Michael!
Hi @jonathan
What MIDI keyboard are you using to connect with the CP please?
It’s a Casio px 330
Wow~~ this is so nice Jazz sound. 👍👍 Very to good listen while working in the office.
Thankyou! 🙌
playing yamaha reface with different keyboard, does it affect the velocity response positively ?

beautiful. How are you recording this? Direct out to computer?

Thanks Woz!
Love the reface CP... though I wished they'd gone with a vibraphone instead of toy piano
Ahh that would be mint. (Or the hidden piano as a main piano sound and the toy hidden) but yeah vibes would have been brilliant
would you share your settings for min 22:30 if possible? love that sound
If i can figure it out! I'll let you know! But no idea sorry! will see what I can do
sounds like MkII Rhodes + Tremolo about half speed and reverb.
@@bearkeysoriginals123 er... That sounds about right!! Sorry to @woz 301 I forgot about this!
sounds great!
Thankyou!! It is a lush sounding little keyboard.
I couldn’t believe how good this thing sounds, one of the best instrument purchases I ever made.

Ive had mine for a while, never realised the secret piano sounded so good, i should really plug it into something. 😂
😂
really nice !
Thanks mrzerr!! 🎹🎼🎹🎼🎹
Nice one JC! It's such a great sound keyboard. Do you know wabout the secret piano sound?
Oh, i see you do :)
@@stevecautious 😂🙌
Cheers!! 🙌
A bigger midi keyboard really expands the Reface with low notes available with mid high chords.
Yes, and polyphony is never an issue, unless you've got twelve hands 😂

Are all the fx made by the cp?
It sounds lush! Its not that little box or your daw?
Great playing, thanks
Yes as far as I can remember. 😂
Defo no daw. Just stereo out the mixer
Excellent!
Is the CP going out in stereo?
I think so at this stage I had it stereo-d
Now it goes into my looper along with my yc, I’ve only got it as mono but for this vid was stereo
What are you using as controller? thanks
It’s a Casio privia PX-330
@@JonathanRCross you know it's about the sensitivity, because I have tried on the M-Audio Oxygen Pro 61, but it was to harsh.
@@B3-R I bought it in a hurry for a gif one night because it was cheap and light ! And in stock
@@JonathanRCross fine😀👌
Nice man :)
Thanks CHL! 🙌🎹🙌

Thankyou!!!
What connectors do you have the cable plugged into (on both keyboards)
Casio (the big one) has midi out (and no audio.) connected to the midi in on the cp. cp audio out going to the mixer.
@@JonathanRCross Do you need a mixer for this or can you MIDI them without it
