All user reviews of 4/5 for the Yamaha P-120

Fairly comprehensive connections, possibility to deactivate the speakers with the switch on the side. The pedal included is of good quality (compared to others that go click clack).

UTILIZATION

You need to have the manual close at hand during setup.
With time you end up remembering which menu corresponds to "F8," etc. But, to be totally honest, it's not easy, it's not well-designed at all! But you get used to it all the same.
Very clear user's manual.
The keyboard is very good. A bit heavy for my taste and the key travel is very long.

SOUNDS

The main piano sound is great. Just like the Rhodes. The harpsichord is really amazing! The organs are OK, but the rest is pretty bad!
It remains a digital piano. And it's pretty good at that.

OVERALL OPINION

What I like best is:
- The connections on the side!!
- The sturdiness.
- An adequate music stand!! Sturdy and big enough!

The piano is heavy but it's easy to understand why.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again to play at home or on stage if I can't have a real piano.

What has not said elsewhere t:

Audio Output Jack Two, two RCA outputs, MIDI In / Out, direct connection to computer (MIDI interface intgre, Mac and PC), two headphone jacks, sustain pedals and pedals Auxiliary.
The pedals can be used as auxiliary CONTRL volume of activation of the "variation" on the sound of muted PDAL, sostenuto, and I think that's all.

UTILIZATION

The touch keyboard is fine for rock, Varita. But as a pianist plutt East Classic, I admit it's hard to really work with a keyboard numrique. Practice to play at night to dchiffrer ... However, it is by far the best I've experienced the touch of a piano numrique!
Gnrale trs simple configuration, but not empty if you want to go in rglages complex (ncessite to have the user manual in front).
The manual, however, is very well done.

SOUNDS

The piano sound is okay, but again, useless srieusement to play classic spices of the directory. I cons used by a rock band, and it is really good! The sounds of Hammond organ and church, harpsichord, piano Rhode are really good. Too bad we can not better paramtrer harmonics of Hammond, or the zippers of the church organ!
I never use effects.
You can forget the sound of strings and guitar ... It's a piano, all fawns!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two years as a matre keyboard, piano scne, and I intend to keep it for when j'emmnagerai apartment (the piano line two hours in the morning ', a does not ...).
Very practical tool, but does not replace a piano. Personally I advise beginners to buy a piano upright piano as a little soft touch of numrique is not good for the training of the hand.
Good quality price overall.
I do it again this choice.

Octave: 7 - we ask no more than a 88 keys!
A dozen sounds of good quality - specially mention the Grand Piano
Nothing wrong at connection: MIDI In / Out / To Host Outputs cinch, jack, headphones, etc. .. and I forget!

UTILIZATION

The touch of this piano is reason enough to sign the chque eyes closed. At this level of COMPTITE, the only true conccurents comes from the RD-700SX Roland home.

Gnrale configuration is very simple, whether to combine the sounds, effects, transposition, etc. .....

SOUNDS

I only use the Grand Piano, Rhodes and possibly the jazz organ. The rest sounds a little gadget. This piano is for musicians who do not need a gas factory sound and want to have a real heavy touch and a piano sound hyper practitioner. Point bar!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several months, APRS be thrown in Fatar and Roland.
J'apprcie particulirement touch, simplicity of use (I turn, I play), and three sounds that interest me (Grand Piano, Rhodes and Organ).
Aesthetics nothing wrong with its fake wood finish ca us exchange dprimants black keyboards.

The less body weight (mpf 25kg. ..) a bit difficult to carry rptition, but you get used to (ho climbed!).

In short: A keyboard that is the point.

[now sold]

88 heavy keys, keyboard GH2.
14 sounds, I'm only interested in pianos, especially "Grand Piano 1" breathtaking. The "2" is the earlier, and the other sounds are present almost as anecdotal than anything else! The piano sounds are accompanied by additional samples for return to best this huge creature that is living near the acoustic piano. The result was ok but it is much better now.
Connectivity is comprehensive, but placed on the left of the keyboard. Bizarre ... Note the presence of a "To Host" but I do not use.
Comes with a progressive pedal.
Comes with a desk, elegant but I do not use it.
The integrated amplifier is not transcendent but enough for a small room. It also allows for this small luxury increasingly absent in today's electronic music, such as "I turn, I play!" Moo it's good!

UTILIZATION

Two uses for me. Fake piano and keyboard master of my Triton Studio.
The general configuration is very simple, so in two cases brilliant, impeccable.
Minor drawbacks:
- The keyboard is so heavy that recording a guitar part with you bruised hands for a week, but hey ...! There are no free lunches!
- At noon, we have to go through functions such as the screen (but quite sufficient riquiqui) the offers, codes such as "F3.1". You can not Squizz the manual but it holds fast the numbers from those used the most. So it goes!
The selection of midi channels could not be easier, once you are on the menu, an arrow to go up, a down arrow.
Manuel essential, therefore, for functions, and clear enough.
Word of advice if you use your P120 to record sequences: Use the pedal Damper / Hold your workstation rather than delivered with the piano. It is "too" progressive and sends crowds of data in your sequencer, bringing to the same result in the ear, your understanding of 90 kb to about 200! A pedal type "DS-1H" Korg is more than enough!

SOUNDS

Its use as a fake piano was very good, I learned a lot of hard parts on it (especially Chopin).
There are some effects summary, but I do not use them. The only switch that works is his "Grand Piano 1" and the piano, all necessary effects into place automatically. What more?
GH2 The keyboard is definitely too heavy to be completely realistic, but here is a golden opportunity to work on his fourth finger! (The pianists will understand me!)
There is no aftertouch! Wonderful! No need to disable this function horrifying parasite that causes a myriad of trills and vibrato that I do not necessarily want by registering with my Triton! That there is great, that!
Do not buy the P120 to its sound of strings, it is as bad as my CVP-30 for almost 15 years ago!
Rhodes superb organ correct vibraphones classical choirs friendly ... Anyway, it's a fake piano or keyboard master pianist ... What we do not care for other sounds??

OVERALL OPINION

I kept a little over 30 months. It is a choice that was good at the time the list of pianos that were available. In "S" version, cherry finish / silver, the camera takes a mouth Infinia more upscale than the natural finish, and at the same price.
Currently, there are much better but hey, 5 years have elapsed since its sale, all the same! Maybe interesting occasion.
