Have The Piaggero

By Wilma Mortell


If you have been in a music store lately while looking for a nice home keyboard, you have probably come across a term from time to time that maybe you have never really understood which is called the arranger keyboard.You might be wondering if an arranger keyboard is similar as that of a regular home keyboard. What follows is a review of a colorfully called the Piaggero NP-V60 which is a Yamaha digital keyboard. For those serious amateurs, they describe it as an arranger keyboard who would like to upgrade to something better than your everyday keyboard.

They are making a great choice in this keyboard by endowing it with USB instead of MIDI. 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.

It would really be a shame to have a keyboard this large, and you do not play the piano with it, now wouldn't it? Just like some of other models of the Yamaha digital keyboard, the Piaggero has this a Portable Grand button that will give you instant access to a great piano sound. What is making this keyboard especially well-fitted to the piano is the fact that it comes with a graded soft touch action. Just as in a real piano, than the ones on the higher end of the register, the keys on the lower end of the register are designed to be stiffer to the touch. But you still do not get an actual weighted action with the Piaggero. After all; this keyboard is designed to be portable. The travelling musicians will surely be appreciating how it weighs as of 14 pounds.

The home keyboards can be really entertaining to play with a wealth of preset styles. With dozens of styles one will be able to choose from though, for a given song, one might have a tough time picking the right one. In a little innovation that is where this Yamaha music keyboard tries to bring. Predetermined combinations of styles, voices, tempos and effects for any song that you would like to perform are being offered by the keyboard's innovative music database. It helps you in the least possible amount of time make the right settings.

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". It comes equipped with all the styles that you need together with intros, fills as well variations and you can pretty much whip up a whole band's worth of music at the touch of a few buttons. The Piaggero Yamaha digital keyboard is only a grander scale than you would expect but does just 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. When it comes to composing your own tunes or recording your own versions of existing ones, 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.
