While looking for a nice home keyboard, if you have been in a music store lately, you have probably come across a term from time to time that perhaps you've never really understood which is the so-called the arranger keyboard.You might have wondered if there is any difference between an arranger keyboard from a regular home keyboard. What would follow is a review of a Yamaha digital keyboard which is colorfully called the Piaggero NP-V60. For those serious amateurs, they describe it as an arranger keyboard who would like to upgrade to something better than your everyday keyboard.
When the advertisements would refer to a keyboard as an arranger, what they actually mean is simply what you always thought was described by the term "home keyboard". You can pretty much whip up a whole band's worth of music at the touch of a few buttons as it comes equipped with all the styles you need along with intros, fills and variations Only a grander scale than you would be expecting, the Piaggero Yamaha digital keyboard does exactly this. To begin with, rather than the 61 key keyboard that you normally come across in our keyboard, it comes with a 76 key keyboard. The Piaggero is pretty great with nearly 500 sounds, 160 styles, a six track sequencer or recorder to help you record complex arrangements, and powerful speakers when it comes to composing your own tunes or recording your own versions of existing ones.
When you have a keyboard this big, it would really be such a shame when you do not play the piano with it, now wouldn't it? The Piaggero comes with a Portable Grand button that gives you instant access to a great piano sound as with some other models of the Yamaha digital keyboard. The fact that it comes with a graded soft touch action is what makes this keyboard especially well-suited to the piano. The keys on the lower end of the register are designed to be stiffer to the touch than the ones on the higher end of the register just as in a real piano. But still, with the Piaggero, you do not get an actual weighted action. This keyboard is designed to be portable after all. Musicians who are travelling will surely appreciate how it weighs all of 14 pounds.
The home keyboards can be really entertaining to play with a wealth of preset styles. With dozens of styles you can be able to choose from though, one might have a tough time picking the right one for a given song. That is where this Yamaha music keyboard is trying to bring in a little innovation. The innovative music database of the keyboard offers predetermined combinations of styles, voices, tempos and effects for any song that you would like to perform. In the least possible amount of time, it helps you make the right settings.
By endowing it with USB instead of MIDI, they make a great choice in this keyboard. You can easily connect to a computer this way in order to edit your compositions and even load more music styles. For the $330 asking price, the Piaggero makes for a great choice all in all.
