Concerning The Piaggero

By Leopoldo Paskert


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 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. In this way, you can connect easily to a computer when you want 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.

Now would it not be such a shame when you have a keyboard this big and you not play the piano with it? As with some of the other models of the Yamaha digital keyboard, the Piaggero comes with a Portable Grand button which gives you instant access to a great piano sound. What actually would make this keyboard especially well-suited 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 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.

It can be really entertaining to play for the home keyboards 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. The keyboard's innovative music database is offering for any song which you would like to perform, predetermined combinations of styles, voices, tempos and effects. It will help you make the right settings in the least possible amount of time.

When a keyboard is being referred by the advertisements as an arranger, what they 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. 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.
