Yamaha YDP 160 Arius Digital Piano




Manufacturer:Yamaha
Label:Yamaha
EAN:0086792880174
Model:YDP160

A year ago, I was looking for an inexpensive digital piano

very good quality

After sampling several options at places like Guitar Center and the like, I reduced my choices to three: the YDP-160 and Casio's PX800 and AP200

Built-in AWM stereo sampled instrument Voices faithfully reproduce their complete range from the soft, dark lows to the glistening, bright highs.

Despite costing a lot more, I went with the Yamaha

Rating 5





After almost daily (OK, nightly) use, I can say in full confidence that I'm happy with the choice I made

2009-06-03





Unlike the Casios, the Yamaha piano is sturdy

The Arius series digital pianos feature Yamaha's sophisticated AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) with Dynamic Stereo Sampling for the ultimate in instrument realism

Built-in AWM stereo sampled instrument Voices faithfully reproduce their complete range from the soft, dark lows to the glistening, bright highs.

Taken at different 3 levels of soft, medium and loud each key is comprised of multiple stereo recordings of an actual grand piano. This provides subtle differences in volume and timbre depending on how you play the keys, and gives you full expressive control over the sound

I can't say that this keyboard, though a toy, isn't worth the going price

Not for gigging

I picked it up at the urging of a bandleader who is convinced the sound of its bass matches his electric bass on his double-neck guitar

76 Graded Soft Touch keyboard

If I want to make the rest of the band hate me, I simply turn on the automatic songs on break

The keyboard doubles as a "juke box" with keys / karaoke machine and a surrogate piano

2009-06-14

I've used it outside with batteries and find the speakers occasionally convenient

Aside from it now being affordable (I bought it when it first came out at around $900), this is a high quality digital piano

Top of the line

Neotech Accordion Harness Strap

Model:3101002

This just shows you how personal a thing like straps are

It's a personal thing

I'm delighted with my Neotech straps

Fits most accordions

I find them quite comfortable---but probably the best thing about them is that the material they're made of prevents them from slipping around on my shoulders, like leather straps often do

Rating 4

I think it's just a great design

2009-04-01

Plus, these are professional-quality, wide accordion straps that are at least HALF as expensive as leather straps this size

I would say that this harness is good, because it does support the weight well however, if you are small like me (woman 5'3) it is loose

Good, Not Great

I think they could have made it to be a little more petite friendly!

Fits most accordions

I tried this Neotech strap along with the Neotech Mega Accordion Harness, Black

2009-01-25

I like all the different tones you can choose from

If you are a beginner and want a few songs to play along with or rhythms to improvise to, this keyboard will do the trick

Barely Adequate Keyboard for Beginners or Children

It's OK for young kids, but could use some improvement

61-Key Digital Keyboard





The positives:

* Lots of songs, tones and rhythms (rhythmic patterns), and a piano bank, essentially a group of pre-recorded pieces using the piano sound

* Fairly long battery life (takes 6 AA batteries or a 9V Adapter, included here)

* Shuts off automatically after a few minutes

* Lightweight

* Somewhat sturdy

* Includes USB General MIDI function in order to use it as a MIDI controller with a computer (with music notation software such as Finale or Sibelius, for example)

* Metronome function



The negatives:

* Songs not alphabetized on list printed on keyboard, so finding songs takes longer than it should

Rating 2



* Somewhat worthless, overly complex "Music Information System" information on the front screen (including a keyboard diagram showing which keys you struck - is that really necessary?)

* Keys not weighted, so if does not really feel like a piano, but you get what you pay for

* No velocity sensitivity (loud and soft)

* No native Apple Macintosh OSX support for USB General MIDI (see below)

* No way to prevent the volume slider from being pushed all the way up all the time, so if a children are playing this and they figure out how to adjust the volume, there's nothing you can do other than to keep reminding them to keep the volume at a low level



Unlike a previous reviewer, I didn't encounter any keys out of tune, but the piano sounds (let alone the most of the others) hark back to the 1980s in sound quality

2008-12-29





Regarding the lack of support for Apple Macintosh OSX, you can find an Apple Macintosh OSX MIDI driver for ALL Casio keyboards here:

Another amazing thing is that this keyboard is 76 keys (as compared to standard 66 keys), and it is *really big*, giving you the full scale ranges as if you've had a real piano in front of you! I simply cannot believe the value we've got with purchasing this product for just $199 - also comes with free stand and the power adapter

Headphones-- This keyboard can go really loud and if you're around others, you may want to consider headphones so you can enjoy all the sound :) If you use regular stereo-mini phones (like iPod jacks), you will need a Stereo Mini Jack (1/8") to Stereo Standard Plug (1/4")

may be i was a fool expecting this keyboard to be a wonderful instrument, cause this is far not the best keyboard among all of these crapy cheap keyboards

i was rather disappointed but still..

with its 61 keys it has a beautiful setting that u can extend octaves

I really like when people ask about it since it's such a cool product and is small enough to carry around with me

I highly recommend this to anyone

I don't have much room but wanted a Synth that would also provide MIDI control functions within my cramped PC work area

Size Matters

I lowered a hidden keyboard drawer under my desk that I wasn't using, and it fit there out of the way

When I go to pull it out, I had to clamp the wires with some "give" so it won't get pulled off the back

Due to its size, it's very convenient with my PC keyboards and monitors just above it

I got the PDF version of the manual, which was easier to read and also allowed me to magnify it (for my poor eyes)

I bought this unit, and I was immediately on my way to making new music

great vocorder/synth, especially for the money

The wood panels and knobs give it a retro look, but don't be fooled, as it kicks out the latest jams with ease

If a vocoder is not found in your current gear, then this would be a great addition

I found that it was very interoperable with my existing equipment, so that I could make new fat tunes

The knobs and controls are almost all cross compatible with my Yamaha synth

bucks but, this product is frekin awesome, i bought it and i am glad i did, the synths are full programmable, the best thing about this synth is that it is SO versatile, has many banks to make and save sounds on, comes with a manual thats clearly laid out

so itll set you back about 400

it has a headphones out (1/4") stereo out L & R (2 1/4") dynamic 1/4" and included condenser mic (with mic in) line in and a midi in, out and thru

i am glad because i can use some other midi device to control its tiny keyboard

one of the coolest things i didnt know about the keyboard when i bought it, was it has a 6 AA battery panel to power it, so u dont need wall outlet, the sound quality is fantastic, i had it hooked up mono so im sure stereo is phatty

2008-11-18

the synths have a wide range of dynamic controls, and sound like big bucks, for the money you pay for it

If you're looking for a synth, you can stop now

Rather Wonderful

Buy this
