Korg SV-1 Stage Vintage 88 Key Stage Piano Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Amazon is, perhaps, not the best forum for this review, but what the hoo. I've done so many reviews here that i may as well not stop now.
I acquired this instrument about a month ago and have taken it through its paces (including updates). You'll read elsewhere that the SV-1's sounds are mostly superb with the minor disappointment being its organ sounds. I do agree with those reviews and because of the updates I've been able to replace some of the sounds. The two transistor organs (the Vox Continental and Farfisa) are history. I have no need for 'em. The 6 organ sounds I now use are three of the Hammond jazz type and three of the 3/4 to full bar/registration type. In essence I can go from Jimmy Smith/John Paul Jones cool to Jon Lord/Rick Wakeman thunder.
I haven't replaced the stock pianos (Yamaha C7 & Steinway) because they sound fine - not great but fine. I still recommend these ppianos because I've auditioned several hi-end sampled pianos and NONE of them sound like the real thing. About the only "electronic" paino I've heard that makes me shiver me timbers is the modelled piano Pianoteq. It's chock full of character, depth and warmth that simply cannot me "snapshot" sampled. At least Korg makes an attempt by using a "hologram" 3D sound concept. Which brings us to their electronic pianos.
The included clavs (a little thin but still recommended), the Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzer 200A sounds will make you **** your pants. They sound so realistic - warts and all - that it's scary. When you play a tune on one of the pianos then switch, for instance, to a Wurlitzer it's as if you've simply just played a real piano, turned on your bench to the right, and started playing a Wurlitzer. Eerie.
Much has been said about its digital effects and real tube sound. A keyboard with an actual built-in tube pre-amp/power amp. How cool is that? So far I've made this keyboard sound like the holy grail of stage pianoss, right?
It's of personal taste but some organ players might be turned off my the real weighted piano keys. They might also be turned off by the lack of drawbars. I'm confident that as more sound sets are developed by Korg, and as its editor gets improved upon, the shortcomings in the organ will be lessened.
Unlike, say, Korg's own M50, you need a computer to edit the internal sounds. Kinda inconvenient if you're not attached to one out in the field. It's, of course, impractical to build that many knobs/parameters into the SV-1. Korg is hoping that you'll simply edit the sounds to your liking at home then take it out on stage as is. That concept may or may not appeal to all. This particular keyboard suits me (and my band) perfectly because its focus is real organic sounds not synthesized ones. I actually did have the 73-note version thinking I wouldn't miss the other 15 notes from the 88 version - but I did. I couldn't live without the full piano-sized version. I felt like I was selling myself short.
So, really, just for the Wurlitzer and Rhodes sounds alone the SV-1 is worth the price. The 88-note Yamaha & Steinway is simply icing on the cake. Highly recommended.
P.S. One final but extremely important note. It doesn't matter how great your keyboard sounds if it's played through a crappy or inappropriate system. I've read where users have lamented about the piano's one-dimensional sound on a guitar amp. Duh! Actually, even through some keyboard amps, the sound is still lacking. In my home I plug the SV-1 directly into a pair of Alesis powered monitors (USB 520). The sound is excellent. Live on stage I plug into the mains so the sound is clear. I can't understate the importance of a good sound system. 'Nuff said.
Addendun: January 15, 2011. Oops! Amazon has a photo of the Korg SP-250 above instead of the the SV-1.

Elegance 61 Keys Full Size Electronic Keyboard Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a beginning piano student, so I figured I could use a simple keyboard for practice. I paid the extra money for expedited shipping, as I needed it quickly for my class.Upon turning on the device, I was worried. There was a constant feedback noise that occurred. At first I thought it was just faulty speakers. However, when I put in headphones, the feedback continued. Playing any song with chords also sounds HORRIBLE, as the notes are all slightly out of tune. How an electric keyboard can be so badly out of tune is beyond me. I'm sending this product back, even though it will be a big hassle. I'm going to have to break down and buy a casio or yamaha...at least they're dependable. Do yourself a favor and invest a little more money for a better board. You'll be saving money in the end (shipping, return fees, price of product, etc.).

Casio LK-270 61 Key Personal Lighted Keyboard with MP3 Connection, USB Port, SD Card Slot, and 570 Tones Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had my LK270 for about a month and am extremely pleased with it. This is a great family instrument with very good sound. Easy to add midi files with the SD card and do they sound great. The lighted keyboard picks up on these files and plays along. Only downside is that to get the wait for key lights for an entire tune takes a few changes and button pushes every time the the keyboard is turned on. Not real intuitive buttons at times and requires using the manual every time for awhile. Casio telephone support experience was very positive and a lot of help. This is not a toy but a musical instrument with a very reasonable price and the lighted keyboard only way to go as I see it for family use keyboard. Be sure to order SD5 power supply imediately !

Nord Electro 3, 61-Key Electronic Stage Piano and Organ, (AMS-NE361) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I sold my Electro 2 so I could partially buy the latest model. After using it a few weeks it's clear how much better it could have been. Here are the good and bad:
Good:
- New sounds including Vox Continental, Farfisa, harpsichords and samples.
- Better Hammond organ sound.
- Better piano sounds but they take up a lot of memory and do not have keyboard resonance features of the Nord Stage EX.
- Sample software allows you to create your own sounds, organize your patches and is easy to use.
- More built-in effects including reverb, compression and 3 different amplifier distortions.
- USB (not MIDI) interface to download patches.
Bad:
- Limiting up/down buttons plus A/B patch selector makes it difficult to get to the sounds you want quickly. The Electro 2 had 8 buttons plus bank up/down which is more useable.
- Unergonomic button layout makes navigation difficult. For example, the shift button is too far from the organ presets making it impossible to play and switch presets at the same time.
- Lack of effect amount knobs as on the Electro 2. You are stuck with toggling through only 3 preset amount settings.
- Ring modulation should not be an oscillator like tremelo. The Electro 2 is correct.
- New Vox and Farfisa sounds aren't that accurate.
- Expression pedal always effects organ volume so there is no way to do Wah-Wah organ.
- Only 64 MB of onboard sample library memory means you'll be limited to how many sounds you can use at a time.
- Sample software is limiting and doesn't allow for more than one sample per key, assigning polyphony, glide (portamento) or other patch functions.
- No pitch wheel. Nord provides many synthesizer samples but, there's no way to control them. The Electro 3 cannot receive pitch bend MIDI commands from another keyboard either.
- No modulation wheel. Why bother having any synthesizer sounds without modulation.
- Same non-weighted keyboard feels junky.
- Expensive.

Yamaha DGX200 76-Key Electronic Keyboard Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have plyed piano professionally and have a degree in music. i have a very expensive Yamaha Clavinova (as well as a real piano)
i bought this thinking of it as a toy for my 22 year old who suddenly wants to play. it has a fabulous piano sound (better than the expensive triton). the built in piano lessons are really helpful. my favorite part is when i taught piano, i could never get kids to practice one hand at a time. this keyboard will play the left hand for you as you play the right and vice versa. my daughter loved that it would record and play back what she had just played.

i always discoraged parents from having their kids practice on keyboards but the touch of these keys is very realistic. i would recommend it to someone starting out in piano not wanting to make that huge investment until they were sure they would continue.
but, as a keyboard (not a tiny piano) there are enough sounds and gimics for a beginner in keyboards but not for someone who really is into all the synthesizer effects.
But, what is this? no power cord? and no sustain pedal. the pedal i can understand but no power cord - that is just too cheap. they should at least put a huge notice on the front of the box that you're going to have to buy one separately.
still, i was shocked at the quality considering the price.

Yamaha PSR-E423 61-key Touch Sensative Portable Keyboard with 482 Voices Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this item as a reserve for concert and home use. I already have and use Yamaha MM-6, Roland A-70 (Midi Keyboard), Kurzweil SP2XS and I can compare this item to others. My previous synth (for home use) was Casio CTK-691 and it was cheap. It was so cheap, I can't use it's output connector because of the noise.
So, Yamaha PSR-E423 have a pretty tight company. It provide a solid sound with a vary little noise level (but still more than the competitors). The sounds are... not so good as in MM-6 or Kurzweil, but it's much better than in Casio -- this must be the best sounds for the price, but still have a reserve of improvements. I think, yamaha can safely delete 400 of 500 sound and use the free memory to improve quality of the remaining 100. For example, Acoustic Grand Piano (Yamaha pride) have a metallic sound for the notes upper than F2).
The keyboard and a functional elements are quite good -- the keyboard looks and acts like in MM-6, two knobs are the same as in MM-6 and also can be used as a resonance filter, or to adjust the synth parameters. That's interesting, but I can't find a puporse for it. I never ever use sequencer or lessons -- don't ask about them. Harmony, arpeggio are working as expected, styles are not as expressive, as in MM-6, primarily because of too few variants. Again, this is not the point I use it for. The keyboard is easier to use, than a MM-6 or Kurzweil -- because of a big screen with an options shown on it and a digital pad that doesn't exist on MM-6 (except transpose and split point functions -- they are deep in menu). Comparing to Casio, it is also easier -- because some of the features are accessible with a special buttons, without scrolling the menu.
The keyboard have an USB connectivity and provide a standard midi-over-usb interface, so I don't need any drivers. Be warned, that the keyboard does not have any MIDI ports!
Overall score is: the best sounds for the price with a full set of features. Pro: touch-sensitive keyboard, pitch bend, kontrol knobs, arpeggio, harmony, tap tempo, USB-to-computer, clean output, 6-channel sequencer. Contra: sounds can be better, transpose functions are hidden in "functions" menu, no MIDI connection, accessories are sold separately.

eMedia MyPiano Electronic Keyboard and Learning Software Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This kit will help a child become somewhat familiar with a keyboard instrument, rhythm, notes, rests and the music staff. Some moderate and usually fun practice with the interactive MyPiano software will have the child progress from 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' (lesson 15) to 'Jingle Bells' (lesson 106). The keyboard interacts with the MyPiano software through the provided MIDI to USB cable.
By the way, the keyboard can be used on its own and similarly, the MyPiano software should be usable with any MIDI-enabled electronic keyboard - I wrote 'should' because I was unable to use it with our VERY OLD (10 years old) MIDI-capable electric piano but I am blaming the piano at this time.THE KEYBOARD
The 49-key keyboard comes with all the bells and whistles expected from the upper end of the 'inexpensive' class. All the detailed specs are available at the Amazon page so I won't repeat them here. It is powered by either a DC adapter or batteries. An soft but audible hiss can be heard when turning on the device.
One somewhat uncommon enhancement is the LCD display showing which keys are played both on a staff and, for some reason, on a small representation of the keyboard. The notes played appear on the LCD display as small dots, not always easy to see.
The 2 outputs are a PHONES OUTPUT and the MIDI OUT. There is no MIDI IN which was a disappointment but not totally unexpected.
The keys are significantly smaller than those of a true piano. This is presented as a feature meant to accommodate children's small hands but I personally have some doubts that it's a good idea to have children practice with small keyboards if the goal is to make proficient keyboard players. The keys travel a long way and some force is required to press them all the way but the sound is produced when the key reaches 1/3 to half-way down. Hitting the keys harder will not produce a louder sound.MY PIANO SOFTWARE
The goal of MyPiano is not to produce a concert pianist in 108 easy lessons but, hopefully, to help parents determine if their child is talented and sufficiently motivated to take professional lessons and study the instrument beyond "Jingle Bells" or "Pop! Goes the Weasel". To the extent that the scope of the software is well understood and accepted, both parents and children should have a mostly enjoyable experience.
As I mentioned on the first paragraph, this is an introduction to piano playing and not a lot of time is spent, for example, on the proper sitting and hand position. Yes, there is a lesson on each but a professional instructor will spend months if not years, constantly correcting the student. Lessons are dedicated to identifying the notes on the keyboard, presenting the treble and bass clefs, the music staff and so on. There is only very little practice at playing both hands simultaneously or playing chords.
Technically speaking, the interactivity of the software consists on its ability to monitor whatever is played on the keyboard via the MIDI connection. After the song is played, the software will display a score in the form of a percentage, the assumption being that the higher the percentage, the better was the song played. In practice, this works most of the time but I found that simply pressing the first note of the song and then doing nothing would return me a perfect 100% score.
Other features include a pop-up metronome that duplicates the 'Metro' key on the eMedia keyboard. Most lessons pages come with buttons that would display little videos, play the featured song while a keyboard pop-up display shows which keys are to be pressed by which fingers and, as mentioned before would analyze the student's play and provide a score. While learning a song, the tempo can be slowed down or accelerated to achieve the suggested optimum.THE LEARNING PROCESS
Studying piano this way can be fun for the child and the child will make a lot of progress, quickly, gaining the ability to play simple songs. However, the ceiling is pretty low - without a true instructor and an understanding of music theory going beyond the basics (no chords or scales are taught here) the student will not go very far. He/she may be able to learn more simple songs or fragments of songs but 'simple' is they key word and, in my view, 'more' is not a synonym for 'better'.MY EVALUATION
For a basic keyboard teaming up with a not so ambitious piano learning kit, this is an okay package. Our kids learned a couple of songs already but, overall, a 3-star rating should be fair - Amazon's translation of 3-stars is "it's Okay".

Deluxe Piano Tuning Kit w/ Book / Piano Tools,book& Cd Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received the tuning kit, and the parts all seem to be of decent quality, although I have not yet tried them out. The book is a joke. While I expected a "how to" step by step tutorial, I got whimsical, flowery-speak gibberish that sounded like it came straight out of Elizabethan England. Nothing I could ever force myself to read, let alone use to learn a new skill. The CD made me laugh out loud. First of all, I thought it was a DVD (my fault) then saw that it was audio only-so at least I expected to be "talked through" the steps. No, it is a series of pitches throughout all registers of the piano. I have absolute pitch, so that is not what I need. If you know of a book that tells, in plain English,(not the King's)how to turn the wrench and place the mutes accurately I'd be interested in hearing from you.

Behringer U-Control UMX610 61-Key USB/MIDI Controller Keyboard with USB/Audio Interface Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)MIDI keyboard controllers in general fall into a gray area between computer controller and musical instrument. Most seem to focus on the integration between device and DAW and fall very short on playability. I am a piano and guitar player and have reasonably good quality equipment in my recording studio. I wanted a keyboard that I could use in a different location, primarily for polishing up previously recorded tracks during the editing process. I settled on this 61 key unit because it has a sufficient number of scales to play a composition but is not so large to make it non-portable.
Here are the things I like about the keyboard:
1. It's light (about 10 lbs), so is easy to move about
2. Because it has limited MIDI controls, it is also thin, allowing it to be placed on a desk easily, then removed. In contrast, most other MIDI keyboards are twice as deep and require a permanent stand or position.
3. With Logic 9, the keyboard is plug and play. Logic recognizes it easily (an additional scan seemed to help the volume level). I haven't spent any time trying to assign controls, but the basic stuff seems to work nicely with Logic.
4. Full size keys. These keys are full size, or very close. They are not as large as the ones on the Roland stage piano I have, and not weighted, but they are large enough so that fingers are not tripping over each other.
Here are the most significant shortcomings of the keyboard.
1. It's light. Not titanium light, but cheap plastic light. This makes it portable but also quite fragile. I have the feeling that it will break. Soon.
2. Build quality. The rotary knobs are actually quite sturdy, but the little black plastic buttons make a loud and cheap clicking noise when depressed, as if I am doing something that they weren't designed for. The red color may be eye catching (or gaudy depending on your perspective), but it's already scratched in a few places even with delicate handling.
3. The keys, though full size, have very little feel or weighting, despite the company's claim that they are semi-weighted. I imagine that there are boards with even less feel, but this one offers next to no resistance to the touch. It's not a problem if you're entering a two finger bass line, but definitely is if you're used to the normal piano weighting of an acoustic or a good stage piano. I also realize that the lack of weighting keeps the unit light and portable, so I can accept this inherent limitiation.
4. Key sensitivity is also weak. There are three settings only-light, medium and heavy, where the keyboard responds with more or less sound. On the heavy setting, I have to literally smash the keys to get much sound, and on the light setting, everything played registers as the same volume. These are not keys that one can modulate at all.
5. As a MIDI controller, it's acceptable, but for someone using a full featured DAW, the eight knobs and a few buttons will be woefully inadequate to control complex parameters. I have a separate MIDI controller, so this is not an issue.
6. There is little documentation with the unit. I had to go online and dig about to locate a pretty sketchy manual on the product. I have not tried the included software, and do not intend to.
For what is available right now, this unit is not bad. It has no sounds of its own, but plays everything that Logic has in its audio library. Just plug in the USB connection and it is ready to go. In order to get a good keybed, such as one made by Fatar or Roland, one has to not only spend significantly more money (probably well worth it) but also has to put up with a footprint that is much bigger. It is this last part that really is the Behringer's strong suit. It's pretty svelte, while the rest of the bunch are enormous. Yet, in the final reckoning, I will not keep this unit. It just doesn't seem to be that well built, and I am not optimistic about it lasting. Moreover, while the size of the keys are nice, the playability leaves a lot to be desired, at least if one is used to real pianos.

Yamaha DGX230AD 76 Key Portable Grand with power Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I borrowed DGX230 from a friend and was pretty happy with it for a couple of months (till the end of the loan). Happy enough to order one, which turned out to be defective. The lowest "B"-key was much harder to press than its neighbors and took about twice as much pressure to go all the way down (yes, I did measure it with weights). It did "make a sound", that is why I put "(mechanically) defective" in the title.
I did like the first keyboard, though.
Its touch, though not weighted and softer than typical piano touch, might still sometimes remotely resemble piano touch for the following reason. When the key is being pressed, the point of "maximum resistance" occurs near the top position, then the key goes down more easily (sorry for this clumsy description). Of course, nonweighted keys do not have any noticeable inertia, but that hardly mattered to me when playing slowly. The touch was much better than in Casio's WK200 or WK500.
(By the way, the defective key on DGX-230 did not have this feature: I would have to press harder and harder as it went lower.)
Other than that, DGX-230 is light and good-looking, and there are some nice voices among roughly 500 XGlite patches.

Akai Pro MPK mini Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you have spent any time reading the reviews of the LPD8 and the LPK25, rest assured you can apply them to this product as well. The MPK Mini is literally a combination of the LPD8 and LPK25; nothing less and nothing more. Which is a great thing if you've been considering both!
This is my first MPC product but I am an experienced keyboardist. The Pads are pretty nice. I enjoy how they light up when you hit them. Like others said regarding the LPD8, they aren't as sensitive as some might prefer, and I'm inclined to agree. It tends not to register some of might lighter hits, so I'm having to get used to how hard I have to hit it. No big deal. It's also nice to have the knobs. They aren't as nice as professional grade knobs, but they work nicely for such a compact unit. The keyboard has mini keys and they are very sturdy. Some complain that it feels like a toy keyboard. Of course it does, they are mini keys! The keys are fine for their purpose of capturing ideas. I do not consider them performance worthy.
For those comparing this to other 25 key midi controllers, please know what you are comparing. There's a reason this is $100. It's simply a combination of two other products. Don't complain about the lack of pitch/mod wheels. The purpose of this product is portability and to allow you to capture ideas when you don't feel like lugging around larger equipment. For these reasons, I find it to be an excellent product.
Definitely pick this product up if you're looking for something extremely portable with acceptable mini keys and very playable MPC pads.

Korg nanoKEY 25 Key USB Controller Keyboard, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Korg Nano Series is, quite simply, among the most useful sets of tools ever produced for the COMPUTER... Let me say that word again: "COMPUTER."
I write, arrange and orchestrate music for a living. The nanoKey, in particular, is a lifesaver! It's portable, so I can stuff it into my laptop bag when I'm on the road. It works seamlessly with Finale, Encore and - my personal favorite - Sibelius (the "Big 3" of notation programs). It isn't as convenient for real-time sequencing, unless you've developed "the touch." It took me a while to get used to that, but I do play scratch tracks in Logic and Sonar, on occasion.
Anyone considering the purchase of this device should realize up front that it isn't really designed for stage performance, etc. It's best suited for computer entry. In fact, it's PERFECTLY suited for computer entry.
...and for fifty bucks it's WAY ahead of anything else!

Native Instruments Alicia's Keys Virtual Piano Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This product sounds amazing. My setup is a Casio PX 130 for Midi input with Alicia's Keys running on a MacBook Pro. When buying the PX 130, I read the piano samples were less than ideal. Connecting it to the Alicia's Keys software fixed that.
The tones are rich and clean. There are many setting to fine tune the sound of the piano. I prefer the Big Studio preset. I believe the install is about 9GB. It took about 30 minutes to install.
I recommend this. Windows users should read the Native Instruments site/forms before purchase as I believe you need to make sure your sound card will not have issues.
