88 notes
A score of sounds (3 pianos, 3 Rhodes, Piano + Strings, Organ, Harpsichord, Clavinet, Strings, Vibraphone
Connecticque reduced and atypical: RCA, no auxiliary inputs, no USB.
Practically unacceptable: the volume does not control the output but only the internal amplification ...
UTILIZATION
Touch:
It must be very clear on this point. As pianist and keyboardist not, I think will be quite focused, but also pretty clear: NO, NO and I mean no digital piano approaches the touch of a piano. And this one nor the other. Not even the GT2 that I own and is a wonderful instrument ...
If you work on a digital, one fine day you find yourself in concert on an acoustic piano, when you ask your hands on the keyboard, you will probably say that you are embedded in a very dirty story ...
That said, it's not an unpleasant, far from it. It depends on what you expect from the instrument.
The configuration of the split is not very intuitive, and even off-putting.
The manual is decent, nothing more.
SOUNDS
The pianos are correct, and sounds are well suited to the amplification, unlike the P60 which is nice on its own HP and absolutely despicable when it is amplified.
The Rhodes are satisfactory, especially 2 and 3 and the effects add a nice touch. (Try the Wurlitzer with the rotary speaker, and forward to Logical song ...)
The Clavinet is average, and also improves the phase does not really.
Any string.
OVERALL OPINION
A strong argument ... would, in fact, is the weight ... It is taken under the arm and off you go ... Significant for a keyboard touch heavy, especially if one "turns" a lot.
In this price range, I also tried the Roland FP 2 (hoping to find the feel of FP8), but I was extremely disappointed in this respect, as well as the quality and accuracy of sounds ...
The P 140 is certainly not a machine that will leave you "butt on the ground" but the value for price is right, especially when we know the reliability of Yamaha products. I had no problem at the moment of mechanical keys, unlike the P80, and my keyboard is no wrong ...
