@@ALINKG1 The sound selector switch outputs a signal to a line that sets the selected sound. Now, when you do the "piano trick" of setting the selector in between two settings, the rotary switch gets disconnected, and the CP falls back to a default sound, which is the piano. I drilled a hole in the front panel and installed a simple switch that does the same: I wired it, so it disconnects the rotary switch. Easy to do and very effective.
@@valuemastery Based on your experience of having been inside the circuitry, do you think it is possible to route the aux input to the effects chain and then have a switch to send/bypass? Please say yes.
There is always this balance to find I think, especially as someone who is interested in gear. Of course it can inspire ideas, but it's not always necessary. I learned to play/produce in the box, finding myself going back to it more recently. Also your music is now added to my playlist, great listen dude!
Totally agree, it’s all about finding that balance. Sometimes going back to basics is the most inspiring! And thanks so much for adding my music to your playlist, it means a lot! 😀
I had the DX in 2018, but didn't get much use out of it since it's aimed more at beatmakers, then I sold it and got the CP a year and a half ago...love it!
Got one of these on sale from Sweetwater a few months ago, really fun purchase! Have used it for recording as well as for playing parts in choir rehearsal.
I love this so much man. Thanks for keeping it simple! Super inspiring. I always struggle with the same thing: having 5 synths staring at me overwhelmingly. Sitting down with just one center piece really helps getting started again.
I love my Reface CP. It goes with me almost everywhere inside my suitcase. It is my go to keyboard for fun and smiles. If only Yamaha had made it with another octave ........
The reface series of synths was the inspiration for midi goblin! You might find it interesting. It can save patches for the reface synths and also adds an arpeggiator (a REAL arpeggiator that arpeggiates the notes you play on with the reface keyboard) a sequencer, a chord/scale generator, midi lfo, midi controller...pretty useful for reface fans
Great video! & smooth playing! The reface CP really is a fun instrument… but for anyone GASing: You don't NEED it…there are free E-Pianos in Ableton ;)
I think all serious musicians know that when GAS hits, the real solution is to go practice with what you already have. But, sometimes gear acquisition is fun too… 😅
Such a great video! AWESOME tones! Thanks 👍🏼 I personally find that having a high-quality keybed in a keyboard is crucial for unlocking my full musical expression, which is why I tend to prefer larger digital pianos. They offer the feel and responsiveness I need to really bring out the best in my playing.
Definitely a great little board. Touch sensitivity is so nice and the sound is great, as well as the FX. Portability is good, build quality is good, and aesthetics reminiscent of an old rhodes. How can you go wrong? Id love a nice ahiny sparkle top wurlitzer version with multiple wurly models but this is great. They could make a 49/61 key version with fold out legs and if it looks sharp they could ask $900 for it, no problem.
Hey thanks for watching! For sure definitely something to think about thanks for sharing. I do share videos on Patreon but not a full course of anything aimed at beginners. Maybe some day - food for thought!
Cool video. Love my Reface CP. Would be cool if you showed the fingering for the chords, or the note on a piano graphic. I like your sofa - where did you get it?
I guess you already know that there’s although an hidden acoustic piano sound. If not, a quick search will show you the commands to access that piano ;)
Hey Matt! I'm in love with the color of your movies. How do you color grade your videos? Do you use Davinci, premiere pro or something else? Amazing videos man!
Thanks! I’m using a single jack from the left output to instrument in on my audio interface. Then I have my audio interface connected to my laptop running through Ableton. Hope that helps 🙏🏼
Hey man thanks for tuning in! I started learning simple arrangements of tunes that I loved and over time gradually progressed 🙏🏼 learning songs you like is a good start. I found it to be the most engaging. Hope that helps 😃
Quesiton, if i have a midi track with notes, can i plug the CP and make that the midi track reproduce the sound of the CP? or i have to play it directly from the CP?
Yes, it has midi in and midi out. In your case you just have to choose a piano on the CP and use the effects to find the right sound and tone for your midi track. Although you might still want to record different versions of it as audio files because you can't save presets on the CP. Maybe you want to use different versions of it later on or combine them in some fashion.
I’m new to your channel, really like your playing style, how did you get to the playing ability you now possess? Obviously a good amount of work but did you have a particular approach?
Hey, thanks for joining us! I share a little about it in a previous video. But in short I started practicing piano and fell in love with Jazz and improvisation. Listening to lots of records etc. Feel free to reach out to me on IG if you have any questions :)
It's great, you're great. But I think for producing, plugins are just fine for keys. Where the reface CP shines is truly just as a portable jam machine even live with an acoustic jam. No need for it if just producing really.
I think if you can play well you can play on anything 😊🎉 great video❤
11:37 casually just adds the sickest break
There's a secret piano sound on this. Turn it off, put the sound selector between two presets and then power it on.
I modified mine and put an additional switch on the panel to easily select the hidden piano.
@@valuemastery Nice! How did you do that?

Given it runs on batteries and even has passable speakers, its a fantastic instrument for campfire sketches.

Thank you man! Definitely relate to that haha 😃 keep making music 🎹

u need to make a class about chord progression Matt. good job !
haha i just watch it till the end of the video
Thank you! Glad you saw that bit 😊
r u indo?
Always happy to videos from you, Matt.
First time seeing your channel, you’re very inspiring keep it going 🫶
Great to see you here 😃 thanks for watching ✨
Fantastic video again ! That tune you composed sounds marvelous ! Amazing as always ! 😊
All the refaces are great. The CS is really cool with the analogue modelling.
For sure! 🙏🏼
Great video man! I have a Yamaha reface CS and it's such a fun little bit of kit, great for traveling!
Great video! & smooth playing!
The reface CP really is a fun instrument…
but for anyone GASing: You don't NEED it…there are free E-Pianos in Ableton ;)
Didn't know Ableton is free.
BTW, there's a free E-Piano in the reface 😅
@@valuemastery True, but a lot of people out there already have Ableton!
@@SONWU Or even just Garage Band
I think all serious musicians know that when GAS hits, the real solution is to go practice with what you already have. But, sometimes gear acquisition is fun too… 😅
@@TaboraMusic TRUE!
the song came out so good! the chord progression got me amazed, sounds to me like a comfort beat. loved it!
Thank you for listening / watching 😃🙏🏼
Shout out to Nahre Sol for introducing me to Reface CP~
First saw it in her video :)
Been loving it ever since
👀
Same!
sweet groove!
dang, such a solid video. educational story telling, thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you for watching!! ☀️
The reface always sits by my couch. So fun to pick up and noodle on it. Great keybed, sounds/fx and the onboard speakers are great.

Thanks 👍🏼 I personally find that having a high-quality keybed in a keyboard is crucial for unlocking my full musical expression, which is why I tend to prefer larger digital pianos.

So dope Matt. You’re a monster bro. You need a Discord server.
Definitely a great little board. Touch sensitivity is so nice and the sound is great, as well as the FX. Portability is good, build quality is good, and aesthetics reminiscent of an old rhodes. How can you go wrong?

Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
The little piano is really great! I want one. I have a question. How do I learn to play piano like that?
They are really great. In terms of playing, I'd suggest learning tunes that you like at a level that pushes you but doesn't overwhelm! hope that helps
@ Thank you! I’ll try that!
really enjoy your music! beautiful
Nice one man! Could you possibly make a video on how to get to this level keys playing as a beginner?
Hey thanks for watching! For sure definitely something to think about thanks for sharing. I do share videos on Patreon but not a full course of anything aimed at beginners. Maybe some day - food for thought!
I love the tone of your films! Would you be able to share any insight into how you create them? Thanks
Thank you! Feel free to message me on Instagram - I’ll try my best to help :)
Masterful
💛🙏🏼
I have this exact keyboard is pretty fun
Cool video. Love my Reface CP.
Would be cool if you showed the fingering for the chords, or the note on a piano graphic.
I like your sofa - where did you get it?
great chords! I'm now following you on Tidal
How do you not have more subs m8? Glad I found your channel and keep vibin' ❤✌️
Haha idk! Just love making videos and music. Thanks for tuning in 😃
I subbed just because of the mention of that. 👌
@markfish8403 Ayy thank you! 😃
That last sound added took me straight to a Sonic water level.
love the refaces!
Yessir!! Thanks for watching man 🙏🏼
Just found your channel, thanks to The Algorithm! The Algorithm knows! Great stuff...love what you're doing!
Great to hear. Thank you for joining us 😃🙏🏼
Another great video 👌👌👌
Whoa, Kenny!
I adore my reface. It slots into the studio nicely but is great on-the-go with just an SP404 mk2 or OP-1. Sometimes I play solo by the campfire
Sounds lovely!
I guess you already know that there’s although an hidden acoustic piano sound. If not, a quick search will show you the commands to access that piano ;)
Yes! Amazing 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hey Matt! I'm in love with the color of your movies. How do you color grade your videos? Do you use Davinci, premiere pro or something else? Amazing videos man!
Hey, thank you! I shoot in Log and convert to Rec 709 in Premiere Pro. I then adjust contrast and colour temperature to taste 😃
big up yourself Matt!
so tight.
Thank you ✨
Big up Matt
💛🙏🏼
love the vibe. Matt. by the way what camera do u use for TH-cam??
I’m using an FX30 and recently trying an X-S20 😃
Beautiful! But how do you transfer the sound to Logic Pro? With cable, of course, but mine isn't connecting...
Thanks! I’m using a single jack from the left output to instrument in on my audio interface. Then I have my audio interface connected to my laptop running through Ableton. Hope that helps 🙏🏼
Hey man! Great video. How did you learn to play the keys like that?
I wanna be able to play like this but can't figure it out yet.
Hey man thanks for tuning in! I started learning simple arrangements of tunes that I loved and over time gradually progressed 🙏🏼 learning songs you like is a good start. I found it to be the most engaging. Hope that helps 😃

@@Dubbudha Hi, I was trying and I was able to do it. Thx for the answer!!!

Thank you! Got to check out that album 🙏🏼
I knew it sounded familiar, but couldn't quite place it

I need this keyboard...
i love my CP ❤🧡💛💚💙🥰😍
Hey man ,thanks for the video 😊. What are the comp specs?
I want to start with m1 air 8 gb ram. Thanks beforehand 🙏
Sounds so much like Yoshinori Sunahara’s Lovebeat album.
wooo
It's great, you're great. But I think for producing, plugins are just fine for keys. Where the reface CP shines is truly just as a portable jam machine even live with an acoustic jam. No need for it if just producing really.
Yes but the keyboard itself was.inspiring him to create, and that's the point.
yep. this is only keybaord that I will never sell.
Thoughts on Novation Launchkey mini 25 keys mk4?
Not tried one, maybe someday - looks good!
Is the bass being an octave chords normal thing?
Probably not! But I liked the sound in the moment 😃
@@mattwildemusic it sounds cool indeed
Mais c'est Jimmy Somerville..!!!??? 😆😂
I Just Need an E-PIANO simulation app... i got a ton of midi keyboards
Are you not on bandcamp?
I am! Have an album on there, records and other goodies 😃✨
you were using Ableton?
Yessir! 😀
im using only laptop, though I have akai lpd 8.
So you got a new gear to do more with less... Why we all love gear that much ?!😅
Lmao good point! 😅
Twice as nice in stereo
Love that - will try it!
Guitar, Arturia Keyboard that's it
Bass shoul be in gaps
I get away with even less. I dont use midi controllers. Just keyboard and mouse
Could not stand the sound in comparison to pianoteq…
