All user reviews of 4/5 for the Yamaha P-90

81 key...Midi in and out...Footswitch compatable and pedal compatable too...

There are not many sounds but that's the idea...This is a piano, no a synth...It's built well and feels like the real thing down to the proper weighted keys...

UTILIZATION

Use is simple...The manual spells it all out just fine...A child could learn to effectively use it in 15 minutes...There are more functions like a 2 track recorder, metronome, effects...But I use it and bought it to use as a piano...

SOUNDS

The piano sounds are amazing...Very rich, full, and non-digital sounding...It captures every nuance of your playing and translates it very nicely into what sounds like a well tuned, real piano...The other tones are what you might expect - Strings, Elec Piano, Organs, Wood/Brass, Choir, and, of course, a few exquisite Grand Pianos...Perfect for practice or studio use...Records very well...The producer in me loves it, the player in me appreciates it for the tone/feel/ease of use...

OVERALL OPINION

I like it's playability and piano sounds...Those were my two criterion going in...I got that....I really don't use the other functions enough to speak as to how well they function or sound....

I don't like that it's heavy but do like that it's solid so it's a fair trade...

The value is so so...By now it's worth crap since it's over 3 years old but I have no intention of selling it anyway...ANd when I say it's not worth much it's only because there are many newer models, that's all...

I tried many and settled here...The best tone and feel for piano...

I'd buy it again....

From the time I promise to write this review ... here we go. I must say that I was waiting to get my U1 Silent to address a little comparison.
<p class="bbcode-offtopic"> Off topic: <span>("wah the ôtreu, it has a Saïlent &#39;" yeah, but I crashed my bike and my insurance did cough up for that ... have to make sacrifices ...)</span>
Well, then just a nice matte black keyboard with 88 keys, very classy in sobriety, and given the mass density of Bouzin, it made me look tough.
Sound side, with 12 categories for each variation, or 24 sounds in the end.
Side effects: 4 reverb types, with a choice of intensity, then four effects (chorus / phaser / tremolo / delay) can not be combined, which is a shame.
The adjustment of the dynamic response to the keyboard (I hate to say the "feel" it is of course fixed): 3 levels plus one that allows a dynamic keyboard not exactly (same speed for each key, some is the force with which we play).
And ending with the console, setting volume, brightness adjustment, Part metronome, two part MIDI sequencer tracks, characters and screen display 3 red digital clock radio genre.
For connectors, located on the left side (which can be as practical as crap, depending on the situation ...), it&#39;s pretty classic: taking power supply / sustain pedal jack / two stereo audio outputs (2 * Jack + 2 * RCA) / MIDI in-out/TO HOST / 2 headphone jacks.
Oh, last thing, my shoulders remind me that the baby weighs 17 Kg, measuring 1m35, and that&#39;s fine.

UTILIZATION

So first of all, the test that is subject to moultes controversies, debates and other cyber-spats: touch. Sustense ...
Well I must be one of the most difficult puzzle balls never satisfied by this point, I must say it&#39;s not bad at all, I speak for the use piano. Position in medium (normal), pianist, was a good feeling, and the heavy touch can make a little finger. But I said a little. For by returning to the upright piano, I realize that the little touches are comparable, and that the "weight" and technology acquired with the P90 have the same return value on the piano. So in terms of touch, I would say to play it very well, very nice, but to work (the classic example), it is not enough, even though it is obviously better than nothing.
<p class="bbcode-offtopic"> Off topic: <span>By the way, I force myself to work on the Silent, although the report touch / sound is less enjoyable and less realistic. I hope that in three years (the mine), they changed it.</span>
The basic operation is quite simple and intuitive (settings sound / touch, split / dual ...). However, once you want to go into details, you better have a good memory or manual under the eyes: everything goes through a system of functions and display 3-character, so nothing appears in clear only numbers and codes. Besides this aspect, the available functions are also quite practical, both sounds (sound balance adjustment mode dual / split) and MIDI capabilities.
Strange then that is 2004 (2004! Yes sir) is that the P90 can not permanently store the settings: indeed, if the keyboard is unplugged for over a week, you take the risk of finding the reset, what brand new ... (&#39;Tain, we are in 2004 still ...)
My main regret is that there is no configuration backups for a quick and easy recall of settings specific to certain songs or uses: to fill this gap, there are only SysEx messages; So either you have a computer next door who can bring these data and re-inject the right time, or it must move towards archivers such as MIDI or MDF2 MDF3, solutions may be more suited to the stage.
No crash, as I have believed me or read elsewhere on this site: it&#39;s just connected to a MIDI sequencer software for example, it may be that MIDI messages are sent to P90, messages that switch some of its parameters. Typically, the LOCAL_ON: By default, some sequencers are changing the internal parameter to OFF, so hop over his coming out of the keyboard.
Normal but worrying when you do not know. Besides, if we go into the features and MIDI master keyboard is fairly complete, the documentation is well detailed, and there&#39;s way to the floor a few hours on it.

SOUNDS

For the piano, I use only the Grand Piano 1 no change, and I find it quite exceptional. Low calm their mother. Realism is good enough.
If I nit-picking, I would say that normal touch, at times, this position is too weak, but the problem is that from Hard in position, the contrast is too great, and the color of its much more ( too?) deaf. Hammer like a mule position Hard, you do not join the range of sounds Medium position, damage ...
For other sounds, Rhodes is more than adequate, the Wurlitzer (if any) bof, vibraphone great, the harpsichord, too. Otherwise, it can help, but I have not bought a synth therefore not expect mega-sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

That is the record after four months of living together with the P90: a very good stage piano, very enjoyable to play and hear. Portable in the measurement of physical or vehicular ... Indeed, "only 17Kg" yes, but at arm&#39;s length and shoulder to ride in the subway, I assure you that it uses ... it maintains or, as desired.
Before opting for the P90, I have long prowled, hesitating, in the store to try the P250 which I liked a lot, but it is 15 Kg and another EUR 1000 which were prohibitive.
I understand that Yamaha do not have a P250 without amplification, the size of the P90. Not understand ...
But hey, I&#39;m still happy with my compromise. Yes, yes ...

- It has 7 octaves, 88 keys, but not exactly.
- It sounds DIFFERENT 10 with modulations.
- Connection noon, and RCA jack.

UTILIZATION

- The touch is excellent, enjoyable trs ... may be too heavy on lightweight medium grades.
- The config is very simple, it is a basic keyboard trs with the bare minimum, BUT IT IS VERY VERY GOOD.
- Yes, the MIDI is no problem.
- The manual is very well and full rev.

SOUNDS

- The sounds are of good quality especially trs sounds pinos and imitation Hammond (Jazz Organ).
- Yes, with good speakers, the sound is good but rev it will never be like on a real Steanway.
- What effect?
- Good words, but always the same thing: there is not enough DIFFERENT levels hit a key.
- Prfres: Piano and Jazz Organ 2. Dislikes: electric piano and an organ.

OVERALL OPINION

- From 1 year.
- For transport, it's really good trs. It is lugs around easily.
- The Rolands I dtest and P60.
- Nothing fancy, the quality price ratio is normal.
- For the scne, yes for sure because it's REALLY a great keyboard, but the studio homo I do not know, even if it's also good for TRS use.

I've had a year

adj all t said,

88 notes
15 sounds (with minor versions, you could say 30 ...)
all the usual connectors (Midi, jack 1 / 4, RCA)

UTILIZATION

KEY IS INCREDIBLE
Note no wear up date

Extremely easy to use, two banks of memory compltes
(Small frustration, when making a pice replay recorded in the bank, there is only sound and no MIDI out. Impossible to loops)

SOUNDS

Sounds trsralistes on the other hand do not think that you will do with a synth, no button CONTRL, no sound synthetic ...
it's more a piano emulator, with some organ sounds and strings

Rverberation effects, Chorus, Flanger, Tremolo, Delay, transposition

aftertoutch but not good, just is not one but a piano Calivis mixed.

I put 7 / 10 because I have parasites that come out of the socket Earphone the attack buttons.

OVERALL OPINION

Well suited to the course as easy to transport, easy to use and contains good trs intgres its banks.

Otherwise, if you want to do the studio, it is possible to have a much better report qualitprix having to seek a Controller south of the same brand or another, with a bunch of buttons assignable Properties of a packet on a packet of synthtiseurs.

I would do this choice, if I had money

CHARACTERISTICS, see below, the sounds are not ditables

I do not serve, you will not need more non-

SOUNDS

The sounds they agree your style of music?
It's a piano numrique. The grand piano is great, the jazz organ is nice, as the e-piano

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
A few months

What is the particular feature you like best and least?
+: His touch, his Grand piano.
-: Its weight and size in its cover

How do you report qualitprix?
I bought it used with 700 flight case and port, and I must say I'm really pleased with the quality over price. In my budget, there was the nine P-85, but in between, there's no picture, the P-90 is 100 times better

Exprience with, you will do again this choice? ...
YES!
