All user reviews for the Yamaha CP33

Most connectors are present, some original sounds but the essence is there no built-in amplification.
Nothing is missing.

UTILIZATION

Excellent touch (this was one of my selection criteria)
Very easy to use.

SOUNDS

The game is very easy, the sounds are awesome (provided of course be amplified as good as this piano!) And realism is present.

OVERALL OPINION

What happiness!
Previously, I had an acoustic piano, and that is mobility issues that I made this choice.
No regrets, the quality / price seems optimum in this niche.
Beyond that, we need a great quality of amplification and a location near an auditorium to perceive superiority.

See manufacturer instructions

UTILIZATION

Touching the keyboard trs correct (I am a pianist)
Weight: It's OK. It is portable
Notice: Claire
Wheels: Bizarre, modulation wheel acting on anything. MIDI connection only works on software
MIDI connection: no problem

SOUNDS

Piano sounds: like all numriques; dcevant. But I have not found anything better.
Other sounds: There's everything you need for a keyboard player

OVERALL OPINION

Conclusion: I put a lot of time to find a proper keyboard. I tried Clavia Nord Stage, MP8, RD700, MOTIS ES. I did not want to play the bagpipes or the old da gamba, guitar I have a dj ....
My intention is to connect a PC with a virtual piano to try to get a piano sound like something. We'll see.

RAS see file.pdf Yamaha
no output to, connectors at the back instead of being on the left side, the p120 and p90.
no two headphone outputs and no input as to the p 250 and CP300.
if not complete

UTILIZATION

The touch remains the same as the p120 and p90, it's very good
volume control is a button that you turn as the P250, the possibility of
settle the volumes of two sounds separately a split or layer on the front of CP33 is practical, while the p120 or p90 was more complicated.

the adjustment of the brilliance of the sound is also more efficient than the potentiometer on the p90
and p120

SOUNDS

I find the opinion of the person before very difficult, but it's true.
a digital piano does not sound like a real piano. Sometimes it sounds better and sometimes worse. It all depends on what you play and where we play.
in short, to choose the CP33 is what is best for the moment at Yamaha CP33, p90, p120 here's the top three (remaining within the portable models).

OVERALL OPINION

Well it's been one month that I have, I played on p120, p90, p60, P250, Korg SP200, Roland FP8,
and feel of the PC 33 seems the best at the moment (this is because it is new?)
the sounds of pianos are excellent as usual, but Rhodes is even better
as the p120 and p90.
anyway sounds are more present in the grave, giving the scale and presence. Recommended for the discerning pianists.

The keyboard works great as a master keyboard. Reviewed midi out / USB with Cubase 4, Reason and some VST (EastWest). All works fine in a transparent manner without special adjustment.
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">For / Against:</span>

+: Touch piano
+: Pitch bend and modulation
+: Pedal close to a real piano

-: No support for partition
-: No speaker (see Yamaha CP300)
-: LED display (an LCD would have been more convenient to handle some functions)

UTILIZATION

The touch keyboard is very good. It attempts to replicate the best realism of a true piano feel heavier in the bass and lighter in the treble. Obviously it's not a real piano, but the feeling is very close game. The finish is very good keyboard, Yamaha's reputation is second to none. There are three sensitivity curves (soft, medium, hard) for adjusting the touch.

In comparison with other M-Audio Keystation 88, Fatar, CME ... the quality of this keyboard is not subject to appeal through the reviews on the Internet.

The manual is easy to use. Apart from a few points (management office), use of the manual is necessary. Otherwise the system is extremely intuitive.
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">For / Against:</span>

+: Heavy touch
+: Finish the keyboard
+: Intuitive

-: Some functions are difficult to use without the manual

SOUNDS

The sound quality is generally uneven. As a keyboard, the focus is on the piano. This is very good, very well reproduced. The bass are deep, the sustain is realistic. The main sound is very good. There are different versions of the piano (classical, electric, compressed ...).

Then, some sounds are goods such as harpsichord, choirs, electric piano ... Other really means: strings, guitar.

This keyboard has a set of very interesting effects:
- Reverb (hall, stage, room)
- Brilliant sound
- Split mode to split the keyboard with two instruments
- Dual mode to overlay two instruments
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">For / Against:</span>

+: Very good quality piano sound
+: Well-balanced and realistic reverb

-: Uneven quality of some sounds (eg strings)
-: Sustain applied to the two sounds at once in dual mode. Piano + strings, the strings "drool" so so unpleasant.
-: We must reconfigure the effects at each turning off the keyboard. The automatic backup function saves the settings as they are when the power is turned off. This point is poorly thought out. Why not save the default settings changed?

OVERALL OPINION

My choice was not complex. I wanted:
- A 88-key keyboard with a touch heavy, with sound internal
- Used as a keyboard as a keyboard (noon rolls ...)
- A renowned professional keyboard

The only keyboard that met these criteria was the Yamaha for:

+: Trust in the brand
+: The quality of touch
+: The quality of his piano

-: High price (1200 € on Thomann)
-: No speakers

When you buy a keyboard, a keyboard is sought precisely correct. So I removed the M-Audio Keystation keyboard for its uneven quality and some other brands (CME Fatar ...) to the views of opinion sharply divided.

The price is not negligible, but the quality is by appointment. There was no nasty surprises. It's pro, it works, it sounds good. In short, I will not hesitate again to make the election again.
