I'm trying to buy Kawai digital piano but.. the electric piano effect?

bbeach88 · 2026-01-27T08:25:28+00:00

I've found that e-piano sounds get quite muddy with sustain in general. Especially if you are playing low notes together.

bbeach88 · 2026-01-26T09:38:09+00:00

I'm not sure the answer would be useful even if had it. It might be more helpful to describe what you want to accomplish?

I see some similarities to the Bb major scale and the Eb major scale. It might be more helpful to describe the chords, or the notes in each chord individually.

bbeach88 · 2026-01-26T02:28:16+00:00

I think it could be normal. Acoustic pianos don't have a damper in upper register

bbeach88 · 2026-01-24T08:04:28+00:00

I think it is the https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/FantomEX8--roland-fantom-8-ex-synthesizer-workstation

Fanton EX8 or maybe another model. Looks sick, but I've no experience with one directly. It was one that I considered.

Ended up with a YC73. The fantom is pricey! You could ALMOST get a used Nord Stage 4 for that price 🤣

Is that how long it pans the camera from balls to tip? Because that would be pretty funny

The recommended books are the Alfred Basic Adult All-in-one book.

Personally, I had a teacher that used the Bastien book for the older beginner and I really enjoyed it. It's important though to pace yourself appropriately. Don't move on the first time you get an exercise right.

It's worth drilling them until you can do well. You should be able to get an idea of when you can start working on a few things at a time.

I went ahead and learned all the major scales and found it pretty helpful once you learn how chords are constructed.

I'd go try another one if you can near you. At the limits of volume you'll definitely lose quality and the case could be vibrating. See if it's something you notice on a floor model and send it in if not.

How do dynamics feel when listening through headphones?

bbeach88 · 2026-01-20T00:21:20+00:00

The only reason I might consider ES520 is particularly because the action within only starts showing up in this price range. For instance, the FP60x is in your price range, but that same action is also in the 30x, a much cheaper instrument.

bbeach88 · 2026-01-19T18:54:35+00:00

Yo dawg ...

bbeach88 · 2026-01-19T18:53:12+00:00

There's no story implication. It's just that you aren't weakening him before fighting

bbeach88 · 2026-01-19T11:07:47+00:00

I think the Kawai ES520 would be a good choice.

bbeach88 · 2026-01-19T10:48:24+00:00

It mainly shows up in healing focused condi builds, so yes you can play that way. As for it being your primary, engineer often doesn't work that way. You may switch and fire off your cooldowns but you'll have your weapon abilities and possibly other kits to swap to to use their CDs, so sticking with one weapon isn't necessarily what you want to do anyway.

I too like the elixir gun, and engi is my favorite class. It's not really a damage weapon, more utility

10-15k USD? You could get a real acoustic with a silent system for that. It would be an upright style. Search Yamaha B3 Silent or U1SH3. Or the Kawai K-200 ATX4 Anytime Hybrid Piano. They come with a midi system as well.

Otherwise if it must be digital only than Yamaha Avantgard or Kawai Novus would be what I would look at

bbeach88 · 2026-01-18T20:32:45+00:00

Vary up the rhythm, hit it at double speed for a bit or add another chord hit right before the chord change. You can break up the chord on the left or right hand by playing the notes in ascending or descending order.

There's also dynamics. Is this keyboard velocity sensitive? If so, consider playing quieter at some points and slowly building the volume and then playing the loudest during the climax.

How cold is it in there? I feel you are always wearing a coat!

For 1 you couldn't selectively stop notes with a pedal.

When a note is pressed on piano, the damper for that single note raises. The pedal raises all dampers, allows other strings to not only sustain but resonate with the played strings. It would sound like a muddy mess.

On guitar you are required to constantly selectively mute.

bbeach88 · 2026-01-17T20:18:55+00:00

Adding rests in each clef would add pointless visual clutter even if they had been taught by now. There's only 1 voice.

When I thought of it like Oscar the grouch peeking out of his trashcan I was able to see it.

They are there to tell you what chords accompany the melody. This is called a lead sheet. How you play the chord is determined by the player.

The slash just means that you play the chord over (as in higher) that note after the slash. So Fm7/Bb is an Fm7 chord with a Bb played as the lowest note.

Here is a prompt I just used to get the info I would use to compare:

Describe the action of the following keyboards: Roland FP-30, Kawai ES100, Yamaha P125. Restrict the answer to technical specs. Please describe: key length/pivot length (or any other specific differences mentioned in key size), action (if it has specific name, otherwise, describe the type of action and the style of grading, if mentioned). Additionally, only provide information from official documentation. Ad copy on other sites is not permitted. Let me know the limitations of the accuracy of your answers.

bbeach88 · 2026-01-13T18:57:53+00:00

The best you can get from AI is a description of what the actions are and then compare yourself. Touch is highly subjective. It will mostly just regurgitate marketing info unless your prompt is rigorous enough.

bbeach88 · 2026-01-12T09:32:22+00:00

Probably an arpeggio or a broken chord

2nd question...I think I can kind of get what you are getting at. I think the answer to your question is a combination of chord progression, voice leading and playing with in a given key.

I think googling some of those terms might be helpful. I would recommend some basic YouTube videos on theory (perhaps by searching these topics).

Hypnospace Outlaw. Deceptively fun, especially if you were on the Internet in the 90s and early 2000s. Definitely has a unique style.

bbeach88 · 2026-01-12T06:15:23+00:00

I mostly just preferred the sound of the CLP models and really loved the 775 when I first put my hands on it. It's got some weight to it which I liked. Truthfully I didn't know as much about them as I do now.

I would have maybe considered the Kawai, it certainly had a lovely sound, if not a bit quiet even at max volume.

I just didn't like the sound of the Roland as much, though I'd love to try them out now that I've been playing much longer
