This is Yamahas best sounding Rhodes. It sounds so much more authentic than the ones in the cp73. I want them to make this in a 64 key hammer action.
CP - 73 is an electric grand and not a Rhodes
He's probably talking about the current CP73, which is not an electric grand but a digital piano specializing in things like Rhodes.
@@dfreeman120 you’re thinking of the 1970s CP-80 and CP-70 electric grands.
They’re taken from the CP4 Stage. There should be a few floating around the used market from time to time.
yeah ! its very good ive got the old p35 piano with hammer action and it got a "rhodes" on that and it isnt bad either but i am only here because i just watched a blind test video..man this here flipped me over. Also thought it actually sounds as rough as a classic rhodes and not this slick tame sound of todays machines.
I love how the time adjustment on the delay works like a tape loop speed emulation, and the depth goes all the way to unity gain. Epic.
The breadth of your musical knowledge means your demo using examples across multiple generes makes for a fun watching experience.
At 4:08 when he adds the effects to Rhodes 2 it sounded so good that I made an audible breath of astonishment. Then he made the same exact breath sound seconds later. The tone of this little keyboard is just that good.
It’s not that serious man
Ditto. Gorgeous keyboard.
Just got one today. I was really waiting for this. Just played about 4 hours in a row. This piece is sensational. The sounds and possibilities are marvelous. The demo just gives you a sneak preview. Already L.O.V.E. this. I have been looking for a very mobile form factor - also running on batteries. That is it - absolutely. MiniKeys are no problem for me - even as a piano player. Big LIKE.
Yessss!!
I think Yamaha could easily put all 4 of their Reface keyboards into one unit with regular size keys, and they would sell a lot of units.
Dean Evangelista they have already! Here is a keyboard that is just like this but with full size keys and four octaves. I own one and it's absolutely perfect. th-cam.com/video/Juy7ZeAfIhY/w-d-xo.html
@@zacpiya No. The MX sounds for EP's and Organs sound nothing like the Reface units. They sound fine, but the MX is better at digital synth sounds.
This is the YC61, for sure: th-cam.com/video/_4bd-snNXK0/w-d-xo.html
How cool would that be.......
@@leonardodutra8787 that’s great for the YC/CP but doesn’t go far into synth and FM sounds to compete with the other 2.
I've had one of these for two years and I never even considered using the toy piano but you made it sound magical!
Let’s get this man’s video to 1 million views. He’s too wholesome not to deserve it.
Another fabulous demo. These Reface keyboards sound fabulous when you play them!
My favorite of the Reface series. I wish Yamaha would issue them in a rack module. And thanks for the great demo!
best demo of keyboard I have ever seen. I have been around for ever and have seen a lot of these demos. This really great.
Thanks for watching! :)
Im not a keyboard player by any means but the cp has helped become a better in so many respects and plus i got all the sounds that my inner 90's child loves! Thank you!!!
This is probably the best sounding e-piano emulator in the format
So nobody here knows about the easter egg? There's a PIANO in here! Switch the keyboard off. Place the sound wheel BETWEEN two sounds. Switch the device on. Voilà! One of the best piano sounds. Beats me why the wouldn't include this in a regular way, for example instead of the Toy Piano.
The Toy Piano sound always gives me that old uneasy feeling I get every time I watch Akira.
Thanks for the great demo, with good audio. Yamaha love right there :) Cheers mate.
cuckoomusic Cheers! Appreciate the shout out.
Yamaha Corporation of America Yesssssssssss
Yamaha Corporation of America You're welcome, mates. Thanks for entering this quirky space again! ❤️ In the end, when the Raface has sunk in, I think the one that impressed me most was actually the organ!(!) I could easily see the organ one covering most of my organ needs :) This one would be number two on my list. I totally expected my list to be reversed. But the most faithful to what they are, and the most enjoyable in my book were the Organ and this one. They're really nice :) Compliments to the team.
cuckoomusic Glad we can help - compliments are much appreciated and will be passed to the team!
same
Switch it off, put the voice selector halfway between any two sounds, switch it on again and there is a very nice hidden acoustic piano!
I just love the Yamaha Reface family!
These demos are great, man.
Elsif Thanks for the love! You're welcome
One of the best for me, so musical, so true, so fun.
I love this board and use it often. I hope Yamaha continues with the series and adds a Reface MX or MO as a tribute to their Motif line. This Reface would be more of a workstation.
4:27 it's logical
My go to instrument to play on bed at 2 am with some rhodes and tremolo
The toy piano sold me. That attack is begging for compression.
Absolutely, it sound very good. I don't understand why people hate it. In rock music, you can use it for intro, bridge, creative things... and you can use it as bells if your turn down the octave.
rhodes sound must be my favorite sound ever
You guys do a really good job at selling these, awesome playing
A skilled person could make some chill lo-fi tunes with this.
I don't even play keyboards, and I want all 4
+Brad Garrett Haha, you're certainly not the first to say that ;)
+Doctor Mix What tune were you playing at 2:44? It was magical :)
It sounds like some of the chord progressions from Rick Wakeman's Journey to the Centre of the Earth
Brad Garrett right? I play a little bit of piano. I actually like the reface YC. I like that one because it has the Organ and you can control it.
Snap. I got a MicroKorg for a steal back in 2009 even though I don't play keyboard just to play about with the sounds. Big fan of Yamaha products, just spent a lot of money on a CD-S2100 CD Player and I have 3 Pacifica guitars
Tears in my eles, Claudio. Thank u. Simply thank u for those great emotionz
Blows me away with the sounds! Amazingly lush. I want to pick up one of these one day.
The way he says "Wurlitsaaah".... in love! LOL
I hope these will be made in modules. I don't fancy playing on such small keys, but it would be great to play them through a bigger midi keyboard.
Eight years later and it’s still only a dream :’-(
There is a midi in on the back of the unit. so you can use a bigger keyboard if you want.@@concorde__
Dr.Mix: Turns down distortion
Me: *MOAR DISTORTION*
More
Hell yeah, my christmas gift will be fire.
I got mine 3 weeks ago and I'm still excited about it lol...Im overjoyed. Thanks Claudio for these demos..I watched them often and shared them leading up to the purchase. I've needed this for a long long time. Worth every God damn penny!
"Wooah! It's 1978, my time machine works!!!"
Better than the old toy pianos I remember, that's for sure!
Here it is, the video that got me hooked on doctor mix 2 years ago
I love Yamaha audio products and instruments - and Doctor Mix too! :)
Man this thing sounds smooth
I don't understand the constant complaining about mini-keys on these and other such instruments. I play minikeys all the time as you can see and hear on my channel. Korg microarranger, casiotones etc. No problems with smaller keys. A good player can and needs to adjust to all kinds of keyboards.
These reface keyboards are great because of their size - you can take them to anywhere and play when you get some inspiration. And if you need those extra octaves, just use MIDI and connect to your digital piano or whatever. Simple. Haven't bought any of these yet but I'm most interested in this CP and YC models. A bit too expensive for me but will buy at least one of them sometime.
You are a fucking clown. These keyboards are very responsive and easy to play.Get off the internet fool.
because you have tiny girl hands lol
@L Marks "not liking toys when I have the real thing"
Ah yes, because a difference in size and portability makes something a toy. Not build quality, power, or usefulness. You wouldn't call a battery powered hand drill a toy just because you have a drill press.
The toy piano at 6:49 sounds like that in Yann Tiersens Priere n°3 :P
and the dynamics are awesome!
The "I love it" at 3:49 kills me 😂. I NEEED ONE!!
Man I wish we could take a Dr. Mix class on playing keys!
You can always get any small MIDI controller keyboard and run it through your DAW and you can achieve most if not all of what's going on here. But I have to admit this is pretty tight. I'm already thinking about the small, intimate gigs where these would be perfect. I'll take the DX and the CP and I'm good.
What vst is as good as this? I'm new to making music.
Except EVERY digital crap recording device has unacceptable latency. It's almost impossible to track with these "modern" garbage.
@@doom5895 Try Scarbee Classic EP-88s, that's pretty realistic
@@BennieTarrMusic sounds like you need to download the Asio4All drivers. Never had any noticeable latency.
@@BennieTarrMusic "every" no... thats on your end pal.
Man! Thanks so much for this demo. There's so much to love here.
Clavinets usually don't sound so good on keyboards, but damn. I thought that this would be the most useless one since there's literally millions of free EP vst's, but damn, it sounds soooo good
I just suddenly realized that after watching both reface yc and cp, the new yc and cp logo on reface series also come to the new yc and cp series stage keyboards!
I'm amazed this sounds so good, had to order one
04:05 SOLD!!!! Keep up the good work funny Dr Mix :)
I don't understand, why people are bitchin' about the Reface line... "Small keys!, too expensive!, shitty sound!". Show me ANY PRODUCT that delivers so many options in so small, portable and CHEAP package!
Where would you find anything similar to eg. CP? Native instruments Scrabee Vintage Keys - 150 Euros, than you have to add midi controller to your rack - at least 100 Euros, than you need laptop. And that's it. You can go this way, or you can just buy Yamaha CP, which gives you EVERYTHING you need in one, elegant, logical solution. No mouse clicking, no presets, no cables, just few knobs, intuitive layout and BIG sound. You can take it anywhere and in an instatnt you have pro sounds at your fingertips. Not to mention great sounding FX on board.
Ref CS? It cost about the same as MiniBrute. Well, Minibrute has normal-sized keys, but Yamaha has three octaves. Which, I think, you would prefer, if you had experience with POLY SYNTH! CS has 8-note polyphony! Show me 8-note poly synth with FM modulator and onboard effects. Show me anything that cheap with so many possibilities. MiniBrute, MS-10 and so on? Mono synths needing other stuff to just to turn it on, not to mention playing with it.
DX? No comparison to anything on the market. Simple, small FM synth with amazing sound. Not understanding how FM synthesis works? No prob, just play with basic 4 sliders. Wanna create your own sounds from the scratch? Get a degree and then click Edit. Boom! What else could you get to have FM synth? NI FM8+controller+laptop+speakers. Again, you have to invest much more. And you don't have portability you have with any Reface product.
Reface YC? Again, nothing like that on the market. simple, small solution with 5 organ models, drawbars and onboard effects. 500 bucks? That's CHEAP. Wanna play Farfisa organs while taking a dump? No prob. Then wanna compose a track in your super-duper home studio? Plug it to your DAW via MIDI, plug outs to your soundcard and you have complementary, pro, studio solution.
Need bigger keys or/and more octaves? No problem, you have MIDI In. Just plug any midi controller and you're good to go. And then wanna go on vacation with some instrument to have fun with, compose while sitting on the beach? Wanna play with your guitarist friend at night by the fire? Try to do this with Korg MS-10 :)
I think people forgot what's important in music. It is playability and creativity, not the way it looks on your desk. You don't need bunch of stuff to play music, you need complementary intrument, who cares how it looks? If it doesn't look like Doepfer Eurorack synth, it immidietely is bad? No. Who cares about looks, size, what's importatnt - what you can do with it. Basically, with any of Refaces you can do exactly tha same things you could do with much bigger and more expensive insruments, which probably wound never leave your hosue due to their size.
I had chance to play these instruments. aNd I immidietely fell in love with these. It releases so much creativity, when you have simple, small and complete solution with you. These instruments have the same spirit as an acoustic guitar or any other acoustic intrument. All in one solution, just take it on your lap and play. It is so much fun, when you don't have to turn on your computer, than your speakers, than you DAW, than your virtual instrument.
No matter how much these products will be critisized, I think they will over time become legendary. Just like Yamaha DX7, Roland TR808/909 and so much more other instruments. At the begginning they were critisized, and then... they became legendary :)
I think the only competitor to the DX would be the Volca FM, which I honestly prefer. Other than that, they really are great packages.
Wait , does midi in mean I can play this through a midi keyboard ? What cable would u need to do this?
0
@@LennySugiono a 5 pin midi cable I believe.
the only competitor is buy a midi keyboard and use the neo soul keys studio app.....
What a sweet clavinet sound!
I plan on getting both this and reface YC for my hobbyist home studio at some point.
So cool.
This sounds incredible.
This is that 70s soft rock sound I've been looking for.
Yet another great demo from the only Doctor I like. My first impressions were, what does this little thing with lack of control knobs do?. I'm pleasantly surprised. it's amazing, Great classic key sounds. thank you so much doc.
I thought it was average quality because it's small.
I was wrong, this sound really good!
Man that tone at 8:00🔥
oh wow...never thought this little thing really sounded like 70's ...damn.
Reface CP my favorite emulation wurly!!! I love it
This is so cool . . . Even if it did take me 9 years to hear this!
This was the one that caught my eye for jamming at home along with the dx
Great work.
If you set the knob between presets and then turn on the keyboard you will get an amazing acoustic piano
Wow...a little itty bitty teeny tiny rhodes...I remember helping my bandmate carry his across town in 8th-9th grade. You could put this thing in your back pocket!
Surprisingly 3D a great modern take on the classics! I'd love to hear this through the distressor and h3000 :-)
I bought this because my triton and casios made me want some real depth that so prevalent in 70s music. Yes fun🌻
Play this Yamaha mini CP via midi true 7 or 8 octave hammer weighted midi keyboard and you win.
Wow, beautiful sound on this keyboard
hahaha the toy piano sound was so accurate to a real good toy piano
Damn. I think I'm in love. A tasteful masterpiece of design homage. This COULD prevent a guy from acquiring tens of thousands in vintage e-pianos. Or at least delay it.
Love that SuperTramp btw.
Love at 1st note! 😍
Awesome, I love those sounds. Started taking piano lessons just to be able to play mine some day.
Do you know there's an easter egg when you dial the sounds knob between to settings, then turn it on? It's perfect.
Sounds so smooth and very musical
I absolutely love the chorus on my reface
Love the vintage looks.
So good, I had to watch it twice! Cheers!
Yamaha should put all of those CP sounds plus acoustic pianos and bass splits in the piaggero. This would be the perfect stage piano!!
look up reface cp acoustic piano in youtube
One of the best rewiews you done bro´ after i saw that i bought one and is so satisfied with the sound , i used to have both Rhodes MK1 and the D6 the original ones, and this CP do the job well ;) Thanks
This is maybe the best one... or the organ? I can't decide. Great sound coming this little thing.
This is far more versatile than the organ one. Still cool as hell.
great sounds and great vid Dr Mix! love it!
The quality of the review is far better than the CP's materials and build quality)))
Thanks so much for the sampling and demo. 👍
With both dials of the Digital Delay turned to 10, the length of the loop is one bar of quarter notes at 162bpm.
My daughter would love this.
Your playing is awsome mr. dr. mix
Love it. Wish it were full size.
How else can you fit a whole decade in a backpack?!😎
I wish they would combine all four that would be amazing
Dude_ your content is legit. I love your icon. Well done.
we could buy all the gears, but could we buy the skills?
Even some of his gears can't be bought with money unfortunately. :(
deal with evil is the answer dude...
Practice practice practice is the only currency to buy the skills😉
that's precisely the trick... none of these devices will really make you a better musician. However, you do need an instrument that inspires you, otherwise you'll end up losing interest. But an OK piano or something mechanical works best -for me in any case. These synths basically require you to already have something you can be "ironic" about :D
@@omgsolikevalleygirl I don't quite agree: the reasons why each one of us end here are as many as the people here. What l mean is that being skilled or music knowledgeable is not a reason why you would take this little piano ironically. This says more about you, l would say.
Great demos on these!
Love your demo.
Also, it's so Logical :)
6:13 that riff 😎
Funky and heavy at the same time
This keybrd sound really good. I think it is good for perform & recording
Man this keyboard sounds better than my Roland Juno DS.
I love the idea, but with keyscape, it directly emulates those keyboards with the software that it offers such as the rhodes, wurlitzer, clavinet, etc.
yeah ok,will this software be available after 20years?The hardware,if you buy it and take care of it will stay intact.And besides that for keystep you need a computer and a modi keyboard,not bad but you are tied to a computer.
Yamaha is passion. Yamaha is music. Yamaha is love. Yamaha. :)
3:06 the melody was super nice
what pleasure it must be to play like that
Just seen one in shop , first time , against lots of others looks great , wanted to see video sounds just right
owno it's doctor mix again
