Actually
I was looking for just a handy and cheap MIDI keyboard with as many
buttons to work with virtual instruments (Pianoteq and co.) to the PC. Because
this product in the same price range is how many 76/88-keys MIDI master
keyboards without sound production, I have times the risk a look and
was not disappointed.
The keyboard keyboard is impeccable, the velocity is absolutely evenly on all 76 keys and can be adjusted in three stages. Support an analogue half pedal may be unique, but not delivered with. Piano
players should know however that the keys are not the full size, but
are slightly shorter and slightly narrower than standard piano keys.
The
piano sound is decreased by the Yamaha wing beats everything I have
heard so far in this price range, comes through the built-in speakers
but not fully to bear. Here, the use of high-quality HiFi headphones is recommended. The boundaries show only when using the pedal. Although the notes kept strings swinging with, how to hear them at a right wing, are not modelled but.
The dual function, which for example the piano sound in addition inferior embarks with strings is also nice. Which man however quickly the limits he finds polyphony of NP 31 only 32stimmingen. The classic demo piano pieces installed in the device have been properly recorded and sound convincing.
From
the MIDI input can be controlled to the NP-31 as tone generators,
thereby striking a criticism is however: Although the keyboard has a
built-in metronome, no percussive sounds are available via MIDI, making
it difficult to record with an external MIDI metronome. On the availability as a MIDI master keyboard on the MIDI output, there are nothing but to suspend. I have it about an ESI MIDI INMATE II is connected to the USB interface. The cheaper USB adapter is not recommended.
Overall, the Yamaha NP-31 is equipped although quite Spartan, but what there is, makes a convincing impression. The functionality isn't enough who gets a full workstation with the NP-V80 for EUR 100 more.
Yamaha NP-31
The perfect solution for those looking for a lightweight, simple, stylish and portable piano-oriented instrument. Yamaha's legendary , sampled in stereo wing produces a really realistic sound,
while the compact dimensions and light weight of NP 31 making this
instrument a truly 'personal' instrument. Enter,
the NP-31 arm and play - that's now always and everywhere so
easy thanks to the new, slim, lightweight and compact design.
