For live applications, I'm just about as happy as can be with the CP4 at present and really can't see replacing it with anything in the foreseeable future. However, even if I was more impressed with the NP3, I'm not sure how it would fit into the studio, or live scheme of things. Unless you just really are a huge fan of their piano sounds and the player connection with the instrument. Still, even with the short time on it, I don't think it would be as strong as the MP11 for home use. I would like to play the NP3 again in a more favorable listening environment then that of NAMM. And because of the horrific ambient noise and bad headphones, I wasn't in the mood to spend much time with it.
How does that stack up against your CP4/CP5?Dennisĭennis, I was a bit underwhelmed by the NP3. Have you ruled it out?Ī Yamaha I haven't played yet is the CP300. I remember reading in a post you made in PianoWorld that you were underwhelmed with the NP3 when you tried it at NAMM in January. However, I am eager to try out a Nord Piano 3 in May. I will do some tweaks on the editing, but I'm not one of these guys that will spend hours trying to sculpt the *perfect piano sound*.Īlso, are the Jazz piano and Concert piano exactly the same as the MP7 ?Īnd are the action and piano sounds the same as the home CA95 console model ? Basically anything that you don't like about it- mainly in regards to sound and feel. Also if there were, or are, any problems with the quality of the keyboard. I know there are more users over on Piano world, but thought I'd ask here about satisfaction with it. It was a brief play, but I was very impressed in the short time I had with it. It works pretty well and I still dig the sound of it, but I'd like a more substantial action where I can feel like I can dig in more, like on a real piano. I really don't want to hassle with setting up the DPA 4011 mics for the D, and then breaking them down every time I sit down to practice vocals. Mainly for accompanying my vocals while I practice with headphones.
