Adjustable reverb + chorus / phaser / tremolo / rotary (optional)

Rglage on three levels of "brightness" of sound.

No output computer (USB or otherwise).

Midi in out connector, expression pedals (spoon type) supplied with the unit.

UTILIZATION

Super touch, the better I think APRS tests MODELS Kawai, Casio, Roland. The one is really close to the true trs touch piano.

Configuration catastrophic must have permanent record of the knees to make things as simple as a split keyboard (sounds DIFFERENT right hand / left hand). We are in the "Press F1, then the submenu, choose F1-3, and press the + and-to dfile sounds" it's impossible to retain and dirty, yuck ...

The manual is as confusing as it procdures Describes and it takes several readings to understand ...

SOUNDS

The sounds are good:

the piano 1 and 3 are recorded in "chantillonage dynamic" levels of 5 + 1 sample withdrawal button. It smells like pure marketing hype ... and yet, it's great. It's like flying a real concert grand piano (j'exagre a little, but not that much ...). The shades are fantastically rendered. The Piano 2 is not recorded using this technique, and although it uses a sample trs good, it sounds much flatter. I have supper the same ingnieurs Yamaha not to have been the only to serve as a foil to the other two ...

The electric pianos are good and Varis (especially 1 and 2), the organ jazz sounds quite frankly, the clavinet is very well (but is not usable trs, at least one), the other sounds are anecdotal.

on the other hand, FORGET the internal amplification of the device: it is misrable. I do not even speak in terms of power: 2x6 watts than sufficient in terms of volume. But the quality of sound is zero: no acute-it sounds "hollow" and "hollow" - a distortion and audible rsonances ds lowest level. With this piano, you play with headphones, or you invest in a good Systm amplification. What a shame to associate such good samples sound so bad amplification.

OVERALL OPINION

I possde this piano for two weeks now.

I bought the shop MUSICPROMUSIC (website MUSICPROMUSIC.COM) THE RAINCY -93 -. After three days of use, the joy had left a deep place dception, due the poor amplification and complexity of using the Yamaha P140. I wanted to change it after 6 days (10 hours of use and any break through supplment) against a P120, m'tais I realized (too late) that the amplification and the ease User taient much suprieurs. Tlphonique call the shop, and ... nothing. First sentence of my contact APRS exhibitions of my case, "Sir, we do not force you to buy" and "we do not practice meets or drawback in your case since you bought the piano in our shop and not mail order. " "If you are not satisfied with the sound, you can buy a system that amplified speaker." You understand the business sense in this shop o is practiced, for the unfortunate customers who shop in dplacent, the "satisfied or not ..." (word to the wise, all the time o Other AREMUS, PLAYBACK, MILONGA (etc. ..) practice "money remboursquot;, even outside VPC for those with physical stores).

I think the Yamaha P140 is really Designed as a P120 at a discount. It is pretty trs (unfortunately this has reflected in my choice), but the amplification and complexity of use are rdhibitoires. For information, if you are looking for a good piano sound, take the plutt P60: amplification sounds much better. For cons, the headphone, the P140 is better and more varied in its sound.
