Yamaha P45 vs Roland FP-10 Digital Piano Review, Comparison, & Demo

Welcome to another piano comparison at Merriam Music. Today, we are comparing the Yamaha P45 vs Roland FP-10, two absolute titans of the entry-level market, both with tons of fans and lots of potential shoppers all around the world.

This comparison has been requested many times by our readers and viewers so we're happy to cover it here, and in the accompanying video. In a part of the market that also has compelling options from Casio (Privia and CDP series) and Korg, the P45 and Roland FP-10 still manage to be among the best sellers, the P45, particularly on Amazon.

We'll be comparing the actions, sound engines, and main features to see exactly how these two oft-compared pianos stack up to one another.

Opening Thoughts

These two pianos are very similar in some respects, the most obvious being price. These are both priced in the United States for under $500, and in Canada, both are available for under $750. Visibly, they appear to be very similar in terms of their size and stature.

At a quick glance, you might think to yourself, "Well, the Yamaha P45 and the Roland FP-10 are essentially equal offerings from two different companies, and, I've always gone Yamaha before, so I'm not really missing anything by not taking a serious look at the Roland,"  This is where you would be very wrong.

Hiding under the hood of these two instruments are some remarkably different specs that ultimately result in divergent musical experiences. Let's start by checking out the sound engines.

Piano Sounds: Yamaha P-45

The piano sound consists of some different aspects when we're in the digital piano realm. The first factor is of course the computer that functions as the tone generator. The second aspect is the onboard speakers.

We'll start by checking out the sound on the Yamaha P45 88-key digital piano first. Right away it's clear, even in spite of its affordable price tag, that it's a pretty responsive piano.

P-45 Advanced Wave Memory (AWM)

The P-45 features the Advanced Wave Memory (AWM) stereo sampling sound engine here.

The grand piano sound is certainly on the brighter side, but that's fairly expected since apes the timbre of their real pianos. Yamaha tends to have a brighter, clear sound on both their acoustic pianos as well as digital pianos.

Speaker System

The speakers on this are 6 watts apiece, so it's a total of 12 watts of power. For an instrument of this price and size, that's plenty. In fact, it's hard to build an instrument that's this light with much if any more power.

The speakers on the P45 are on the bottom of the instrument, so they are downward-facing. The sound quality is good, but you do get a better playing experience when playing with headphones.

64-notes Polyphony

We're getting 64-note polyphony here on the P45 which is definitely quite dated considering what most other options in the price point are offering.

In terms of other instrument sounds, the P-45 has 10 on board. Accessing them is really easy with a very user-friendly interface. There are a couple of nice electric pianos, organs, strings, harpsichord, and vibraphone. The pipe organ is particularly nice.

Piano Sounds: Roland FP-10

Let's now move over to the FP-10. If you're a Yamaha person and have never thought of a need to look outside of the Yamaha lane for a product, this particular matchup should give you some pause. We try and be as objective as possible in these reviews, but to be honest, the FP-10 blows the P-45 away in virtually every respect.

96-notes Polyphony

The FP10 has a polyphony of 96 versus 64. This 32-note difference gives the Roland a bit of an edge, especially if you're going to be doing some layering, but it's also indicative of a more complex tone generator.

The FP10 has a polyphony of 96 versus 64. This 32-note difference gives the Roland a bit of an edge, especially if you're going to be doing some layering, but it's also indicative of a more complex tone generator.

Super Natural Piano Sound Engines

SuperNATURAL Sound Engine

The FP-10 is using Roland's SuperNATURAL Piano Sound Engine, and it's actually incorporating and allowing you to access and tweak all kinds of synthesis parameters such as damper resonance, string resonance, and others. The SuperNATURAL sound engine is available in different levels throughout the Roland lineup, but even this more basic version has a lot going on.

Objectively, you can argue that there's just more technology going on here behind the piano tone itself. But then we get into the number of tones, and instead of 10, as long as you're using the piano partner app wirelessly, you're given access to more than 30 on the FP-10, including some really nice synths. The quality is definitely higher across these other tones as well.

Speakers

In terms of onboard speakers, you're not getting much of an improvement. They're literally the same with 12 watts of power on both. Still, it's pretty hard not to come away feeling that the FP-10 is delivering a much more realistic piano tone, that also happens to offer more polyphony and more sounds.

Piano Action: Graded Hammer Standard vs PHA-4

Now let's talk about action because if you are a parent enrolling your child in piano lessons, the action is probably going to be the most important thing to get right to ensure that the new student is building good habits right away.

Fortunately, we're dealing with two weighted action digital pianos here with full-size graded hammer actions, which is crucially important if you actually intend to learn piano.

Yamaha's Graded Hammer Standard (GHS)

The action on the P-45 is Yamaha's Graded Hammer Standard or GHS for short. This is an action that Yamaha has been using on their instruments for quite some time. There are things that are likable about it, and others that are undoubtedly drawbacks at this point in time.

The GHS action has polished white keytops, so that gives it a good grip in some situations, but it also makes it a little less comfortable to play in more humid situations. Fortunately, there's a matte finish on the black key which feels nice.

It's missing escapement, but for somebody who has never played piano before, this will be a non-factor. But if you are using this as a practice instrument and going back and forth between it and an acoustic, it would be a little more helpful to have both instruments with escapement for familiarity.

The other thing about the action which is a bit of a knock against it is the presence double sensor. If you had any intention of using this as a MIDI controller, and you were wanting to trigger some really high-quality samples on a DAW, the double sensor does not really deliver a particularly accurate MIDI output for professional use. For beginners, it shouldn't really matter, but of course, it will be less sensitive than a triple sensor action.

Some positives are the weighting which feels good, as is the repetition speed. They also use this action in the Yamaha P125.

Roland's PHA-4 Standard Keyboard Action

Over to the FP-10. If there's one thing that set's the FP-10 apart from everything else in the class, it would be the action. The PHA-4 Standard Keyboard Action that the FP-10 has is the same action that Roland puts on their RP-501, F-140, FP-60, and FP-30, which in the case of the RP-501, is an instrument that's 3x the price of the FP-10.

That's an incredible value that you're receiving on the FP-10 for this price because it's not some stripped-down version of the PHA-4. You are getting a triple sensor for better touch sensitivity, escapement and nice ivory feel on the keys.

On paper and in practice, despite both being weighted key actions, the PHA-4 simply outguns the GHS action as a borderline high-end action available at an entry-level price.

Yamaha P45 vs Roland FP-10 | Features & Connectivity

There's quite a bit of overlap between these two when it comes to features and optional accessories.

They both come with an included music rest, footswitch style sustains pedals, and power adapters for the power supply.

Both are available with a matching keyboard stand for an additional cost, though neither one has an option for a 3 pedal unit.

Bluetooth MIDI vs USB to host port

Now, a big difference between the two is that the FP-10 has built-in Bluetooth MIDI connectivity. The Yamaha P45 does have a USB to host port, so you can hook this up to a computer and output MIDI to it, but it's really nice being able to do things wirelessly.

Headphone Jacks

Neither one of these instruments has official audio line-outs. They both are equipped with headphone jacks though,  so you can use the headphone output to connect to an amplifier.

Both pianos have all the basics covered like a metronome, dual mode, duo mode, and transpose.

Closing Thoughts

Here are some closing thoughts and general takeaways on the comparison here. First of all, you may just have a subjective preference between the tone P-45 or the tone of the FP-10. There's nothing invalid about that.

But beyond that, the FP-10 really does pack an objectively superior piano sound, both in terms of specs and how it works in practice, and the same can be said about the piano action. The Bluetooth Connectivity for connecting to Apple and Android devices might be a big deal too.

That said, the P-45 is a tried and true instrument, and the fact that it's almost impossible to find in stock really says something.

Thinking of getting a digital keyboard once I'm back at graduate school to go into lab! I need a MIDI keyboard anyways, and with COVID I imagine getting into the music practice rooms will be impossible. Plus, now that I'll be (almost) done with classes, I'll have more time to practice so that I can stop importing MIDI from sheet music 😅

The Yamaha P-45 looks decent and nicely priced compared to similar keyboards. Any thoughts, folks?

Best Piano player

music in Orem Utah and I'm going to demystify how the pedals on a grand piano work there are three petals on a grand piano there's the UNA Corda petal we call that the soft pedal the middle pedal is actually kind of a mystery pedal to a lot of folks it's called a sostenuto pedal the pedal on the right is called either the sustain or the damper now I'm going to show you the inside of the piano for a second you'll notice that there are different types of strings different lengths of strings different gauges different thicknesses of strings and also you'll notice on the far left where the bass strings are there's actually only one string per note then it doubles up then we have triple / note now this is important when we get into how one of the pedals works so let's talk about the damper pedal first these are called dampers it simply dampens the string when I press the right pedal down it lifts those dampers off the string allowing the string to resonate freely  casio ap420 review  when I let go of the pedal it actually drops those dampers on the string and it mutes that string it's simply a piece of wood with a little bit of felt and a little piece of metal that raises that when I press the string or press the the pedal kind of gives a cool sound if you if you hit it hard so you'll actually notice as a quick point there are some strings up here on the top that don't have a damper that allows the piano to keep this nice little shimmery sound as you play the piano so again just to demonstrate that's playing a chord sustaining those notes with the damper pedal without that damper pedal held down the notes are very short okay so now the next pedal I'm going to talk about is actually the middle pedal the sostenuto pedal I say it's a mystery because when you press it it doesn't do anything until you press a note down as soon as you do and if you continue holding that key down notice the damper raises as you play that note I'm going to press the middle pedal now what I've done is I've locked the damper up for the one note that I was holding when I pressed the pedal now the cool effect is only the note that I held down when I press the

pedal will sound sustained while the others are short ok so here's an example of how you use this there is some music which has this written right into it you'll hear a lot of classical pianists use it because it gives you the illusion of three hands at the piano now I'm going to hold these two notes press the middle pedal it locks them in place now I can play other notes staccato and short while these are sustained really cool effect okay last pedal I'm going to talk about is called the soft pedal now this is unique to a grand piano as well because watch what happens when I press that left pedal the whole keyboard shifts to the right don't put your finger in there that's going to hurt I've done that as the keyboard shifts watch what happens inside the piano like I mentioned there are three strings per note for the majority of the notes on the piano now this helps the soft pedal have more dramatic effect because watch what happens as I press that soft pedal the whole keyboard and action assembly including the hammer shift actually missing one of the strings yamaha p45 vs p115  so not only do I lose the volume of that third string when I play this note but it also changes the color changes the sound and classical pianists definitely use that to their advantage as a way to paint and give a lot of expression through color shift as they play so changing the color of the sound that's how the three petals work on a grand piano upright pianos also have three petals the petals actually work quite differently you do have a damper pedal which sustains the notes you have a soft pedal the middle pedal we'll talk about that in a future video

I finally got my piano and started practicing ahhhhhh so excited ♡♡♡

Yamaha P45 vs Casio PX-160 | 88-Key Digital Piano Review & Comparison

Welcome to another piano review here at Merriam Music! In this article and accompanying video, we’ll be comparing two absolute titans of the entry-level market for 88-key digital pianos with weighted actions as we look at the Yamaha P45 vs Casio PX-160. We’ll be comparing the actions, sound engines, speaker systems, and peripheral features - everything you'll want to know about these instruments before making a decision.

Let’s kick off our discussion by focusing on sound engines.

Digital Piano Sound Comparison: Yamaha P45 vs Casio PX-160 Casio PX-160 Polyphony

The Yamaha P45 and Casio PX-160 are really well-matched when it comes to price, but when we take a closer look at the sound-related specs, it becomes immediately apparent that the PX-160 is delivering some exceptional value. Just look at the polyphony counts for example - there are 128 notes of polyphony over on the PX-160, whereas the P45 has half of that at 64 note polyphony.

Speakers

The same thing continues when it comes to the speakers - the P45 has dual 6-watt amps/speakers for 12 watts of power versus dual 8-watt speakers for 16 watts of amplifier power on the PX-160.

Sound Engine: AiR Sound System Yamaha P45 Advanced Wave Memory Engine

For the price, it really is quite remarkable what Casio has brought to the table here in terms of sound quality with their AiR sound system. Since sound is a super personal and subjective thing, however, at this point we’d recommend checking out the video as Stu Harrison takes us through a playing comparison of both pianos’ default grand piano sounds.

In terms of the actual acoustic piano tone, both instruments are definitely bringing something satisfying to the table. If you demo both pianos with headphones (which we would recommend) you’ll notice that the PX-160 has a lot of air surrounding the sound, which maybe shouldn’t be a shock given the name of the sound engine.

This is a really great feature as it gives the player a sense of being in a larger room behind a real piano. The Yamaha P45 has a more simple tone courtesy of the Advanced Wave Memory engine (AWM stereo sampling), but it's still delivering a satisfying playing experience.

Yamaha has sampled their CFIIIS concert grand piano for the core piano sound, and while this piano has been replaced by the newer CFX concert grand, this is still a super high-end grand piano to be working from.

Additional Sounds

Beyond the core acoustic piano sounds, both pianos have some additional instrument sounds worth exploring, with 18 total sounds on the PX160, and the P45 has just over half as many with 10.

Even though there are only 10 sounds on the P45, all of the essentials are covered, such as some electric pianos, strings, organ, and harpsichord. The P-Series pianos always have nice electric piano sounds, and that holds true here.

The PX160 has all of the same types of sounds, plus several more given its larger count overall. The quality is high for the price points on both pianos in terms of the onboard voices, but the PX160 obviously gets an edge here due to the greater number of sounds. Both pianos offer some user control over the Reverb settings.

This sums up our discussion on sound. Let’s move on to action now.

Yamaha P45 vs Casio PX-160 | Piano Action Review and Comparison Full-size, Weighted Keys, 88-key Keyboards

We certainly had some big differences in the sound systems of both pianos, but when it comes to the action, the differences become even more obvious, even if both pianos are using full-size, weighted keys, 88-key keyboards. This is apparent right away when you first play the PX-160’s Tri-Sensor Scaled Hammer Action Keyboard II due to some really dramatic textures on the white and black keys.

Yamaha P45 Graded Hammer Standard

The Yamaha P45 Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) action on the other hand doesn’t employ any type of texture on the white keys and instead features a glossy feel, with a matte finish on the black keys.

For the P45, this has been an area of criticism within the industry for a few years now, as the piano player’s fingers can slide on the keys in playing situations with higher humidity, which of course aren’t uncommon for portable digital pianos.

Casio Privia PX160 Tri-Sensor Scaled Hammer Action Keyboard II Casio Advanced Triple Sensor Action

Neither action has escapement or let-off as it's sometimes known, and only the FP10 and its PHA4 action boast this particular feature in the price point. The Yamaha P45 action uses a dual-sensor which is typical for the price, but the PX160’s action features a more advanced triple sensor action meaning it has a greater capacity for touch sensitivity.

A beginner looking for an instrument for piano lessons won’t really feel a difference here, but an experienced musician looking for a good value practice or secondary instrument probably will, as will those looking for an accurate MIDI controller.

The weighting is good on both pianos, with the Yamaha feeling a little bit lighter.

As far as weighted action digital pianos go, both of these feel good overall for the price. Are you going to put either one on your wishlist if you’re looking to dive into advanced classical repertoire? No, but that’s not the point, and you’re probably not looking for a portable keyboard in that case anyway.

Yamaha P45 vs Casio PX-160 | Features/Connectivity Comparison

Both the PX-160 and the P45 have all of the basics covered when it comes to normal digital piano features. Both have a metronome, transpose, dual-mode (Layer), while the PX160 has Split mode, and the P45 has Duo mode.

USB-MIDI Connections: Yamaha P45 and Casio Privia PX-160 USB/MIDI Connectivity

There’s no built-in recorder on the P45 like there is on the PX160, but thanks to USB-MIDI connections both pianos are easily connectible to computers for recording anyway. The PX160 has discreet 1/4” line outputs which is a very nice bonus for the price point, while you’ll have to use the headphone jack on the P45 which isn’t ideal.

Keyboard Stand and Pedal System: Yamaha P45 vs Casio PX-160

Both pianos include a basic footswitch sustain pedal, though we recommend upgrading to a more substantial damper pedal. Also included with each are a power supply (power adapter) and a music rest.

Both are available with optional matching keyboard stands, while Casio also gives you the option of opting for a triple pedal system as well.

Casio PX-160 Keyboard Stand and Pedals Final Thoughts

At the price both of these pianos are available, there aren’t too many other compelling options out there, aside from spending a little bit more and jumping to the Roland FP10 with its superior tone and touch (no triple pedal though!.)

Between the P45 and PX160, the PX160 definitely out-specs it on paper and makes a pretty compelling case for itself. That said, there are plenty of folks who will simply prefer the tone and touch of the P45 for their own personal reasons, not to mention the comfort that comes with selecting a Yamaha product.

Tough to find in stock, even on Amazon, but if you can, both are among the best digital pianos available in the entry-level class.

Yamaha Piano Reviews 2018

yourself or share with your friends and family that looks like this lastly you can connect the MP 12 to your iOS device for even more fun and features Yamaha offers a bunch of apps

like digital piano controller metronome and note star for use with the PIA 0 series you will connect those via the USB port on the back of the keyboard now

for the moment you've been waiting for it let's take a listen to the 10 different sounds we've got two pianos - EP a nose - organs strings vibes and two

harpsichords well that was the look at casio cdp 130 vs yamaha p45  hey this is Erskine Hawkins here Sweetwater and today we're taking a look at Yamahas lightweight pa0 MP 12 digital keyboard now I've seen

some concerns online with people asking is the MP 12 a toy or a tip this thing out of the box they sat down with it and I can tell you it's definitely not a toy weighing in at only 9 pounds the MP 12

is designed to let you just concentrate on enjoying the playing the piano it even features the pure tone of one of the best grand pianos that Yamaha has ever made I would say this keyboard is

for everyone right off the top I can see practical uses for parents who want to get their kids into playing piano but aren't sure if this is something they'll

continuing but the price point you really can't beat the quality of sound that comes right out of the speakers but if you also want them to practice in silence there's a headphones input on the back of the keyboard.

so no one else in the house has to hear I also reallym like the simple design since it only has  a few buttons that makes it a lot easier for beginning students to stay on task with their practicing where people just starting to play the piano.

  I normally like to recommend something that has 88 weighted keys and the MP 12 only has 61 unweighted keys but if there were ever an exception to the rule this would be it you can absolutely yamaha p45 vs p115 start to learn to play the piano on this keyboard I would also say that this board is great for anyone needing something portable again.

it's 9 pounds and as 10 sounds and USB capabilities so if you need to use it as some type of controller it can definitely keep up with whatever you need it to do right out of the box the MP 12 is nearly ready to play you will need either a 12 volt power supply or 6 double-a batteries.

it doesn't come with either but you are able to choose from a black or a white finish to suit your taste or playing environment going across the front of the keyboard we've got the volume knob power on and off button the demo and metronome buttons the voice buttons and then the record and play buttons the record button lets you easily record your practice sessions as your performances or your original
