All user reviews of 5/5 for the Korg SP-170

88 keys, speed, touch that resembles a piano for the handyman that I am.
SMALL JACK 2 headphone jacks, a power MIDI, taking power-supplied, a sustain pedal jack-supplied.
A white plastic desk the most beautiful effect when the cache with a score-not included.
No kick, stand, anything to put the piano top.
No USB port that would have liked, however, nor from noon IN / OUT / THRU, or exit BIG JACK mono / stereo.
Good, entry-level price and attack force, so the score of 8 reflects the price.
Oh, and also, mine is white or black or wood. I should look for to match my guitars!

UTILIZATION

The keyboard is very pleasant for me, I seem to play a real piano, with keys that are resistant, that bounce and that look real piano keys if you do not look at the rest of the instrument. Well, I'm not a pianist, but I still hit the pianos in my life and that, that it looks good.
Manual: essential because the configuration is done at the keyboard, no buttons visible. Well, in two pages you know everything.
So if we know in two pages all is that the general pattern is simple: you press the last three buttons on the right to enter selection mode (you can hear a click instead of notes), press a button selections of his or midified piece, and if we really want to address in something turning the volume knob from behind.
Well, actually, there are thirty-six alternatives, all the keyboard: reverb / chorus, pitch, transpose, pitch adjustment (handy for harpsichord accompanying an oboe or other instrument not tunable).
Selection noon: then I am not there yet, I did not even interface with proper outlet, so I do not know. In view of the manual, everything is done on the keyboard, of course. To learn by heart if it has use.
9 because everything would be so simple, but certainly much less beautiful, with buttons, simple pimples!

SOUNDS

The sounds I agree entirely, the effects, I do not use it, I have everything I need on the computer and the Toneport when needed.
I like the pianos, because they sound realistic enough, and HP and the amp is enough to live up to what I hear.
Other sounds I do not dislike them, except maybe the strings, it's weird to play the strings on a keyboard like this, it seems more normal type on a keyboard synth, and they do not sound very realistic.
The words surprised me by its proximity to that of a real piano, but hey, I'm still not a pianist, there must be a trick.
The use of the pedal, for cons, it does not hit in the foot is too soft and artificial, but the result in terms of sound corresponds to what is expected.

OVERALL OPINION

I have recently, I have not tried before to avoid to get into something than 1000 € and more, I just wanted a piano as realistic as possible for not too expensive.
I like the value (495 € with German VAT, more expensive than here).
I find it somewhat resembles a real piano to satisfy me, and it makes you want to work and learn to play nice on by his side.

With experience, I probably would do that choice, I do not think you can find both the price otherwise. But I would look at the color because white is white ...

UTILIZATION

Touch is very pleasing that what may be a little hard but it's not necessarily a default.
Configuration is dirrect with buttons, no buttons except for volulme and on / off. There is nothing complicated but personally I never use the functions (chorus. ..)
Small default, the maximum level speaker crackles a bit which is unfortunate given that often plays at the maximum level (which is no exaggeration to get a good feel of real piano)
Other default, the headphone input is misplaced, if one has a headphone a little short of impossible to do so passed from below and above it hinders when playing.

SOUNDS

I find the sound very convincing, very pretty, at least for the 1st, after I do not much but some others are quite correct (it should be about 10 sounds I think) .
There is a good reaction to the power with which we attack the key power that can settle it seems to me (again I did not really dwelt on the settings).
Customers who bought this piano on occasion I have not had the pedal Sutaine with and I must say that its a bit lacking. Without the pedal sound is a little too square.

OVERALL OPINION

It did 2 months that I have and I am fully satisfied, very realistic sound rather bleufant to my taste anyway, I take great pleasure to play with especially after having spent time on a synth. bought 350 euros in almost new opportunity, it's a very good piano for not putting large sum in which the piano korg sp-170 can easily compete, for people of all levels, personally I play pretty well and it suits me perfectly, a small budget does not necessarily mean product expert.
