The quest for a portable piano has been around since the invention of the Fender Rhodes and the Wurlitzer. Of course, neither of these actually sound like pianos\u2026 they have a pleasant sound that is \u2018piano-like\u2019 but in no way are they a substitute for the real thing.<\/p>\n
Several companies tried all sorts of things (including some fairly horrible electronic things) but it wasn\u2019t until Yamaha released their CP70 \u2018Electric Grand Piano\u2019 in the mid-\u201970s that we had something approaching a \u2018real\u2019 piano that could be toured around and amplified easily without any difficult mic techniques.<\/p>\n
There were three models in the product\u2019s lifetime\u2026 the original CP70 (73-note keyboard) which was superceded by the CP70B (with balanced outputs) and the CP80 (a full 88-note keyboard version). There was also a MIDI version allowing the thing to be used as a monster master controller. These were comparatively rare however. All of them featured true grand piano action keyboards which, if you were a real piano player, were a delight to play.<\/p>\n
In their brochures, Yamaha claimed their electric grand pianos were \u201ccompact\u201d and \u201cportable\u201d. I am not convinced! They measured at least 57 inches wide by 45 inches deep (front to back) and weighed as much as 313lbs! I guess that at a time when bands were going out with Hammond organs, Leslies, CS80s, multiple MiniMoogs, Mellotrons and so on, the CP piano was comparatively \u2018portable\u2019.<\/p>\n
Each instrument now features a complete control panel so that you can create your own unique sounds pretty much like using \u2018the real thing\u2019. There are three panels \u2013 MASTER, CONTROL PANEL and EFFECTS. In MASTER, you can set \u2018global\u2019 functions such as velocity sensitivity and curve, note range, pitch bend range and master tuning and transpose.<\/p>\n
In CONTROL PANEL, you can modify the tone of the instrument using the 3-band EQ as found on the original CP70. You can also add tremolo (again, like the original) with variable speed and depth. In EFFECTS, you can add a phase shifter effect with variable amount and speed and you can add (or remove) chorus and reverb. Any settings you make can, of course, be saved for future recall and it is also possible for a knobby hardware controller to \u2018learn\u2019 these controls for an even more hands-on experience. <\/p>\n
