Modartt user forum » Pianoteq user forum » Does anyone have experience using Pianoteq 8 / 9 with a Yamaha P525 ?
Dear Friends,
Tomorrow I should try out several digital pianos in a local shop :
Yamaha P525
Roland FP 90X
Kawai ES 920
Korg D1 (?)
And I've found many examples online of how they work with Pianoteq (many user videos).
I haven't found any of the Yamaha P525...
Does anyone have one? How's it going with Pianoteq?
Thanks in advance for any comments and suggestions.

If you have a laptop, perhaps the best is to go with it in order to test with Pianoteq itself ? Olivier W, a member here, wrote a script to resolve the fixed note off issue.
It seems it gives some nice results. Maybe could he help you ?
Have a nice test !

Greetings! It should work fine with the P525 (though test it in the store if you can).
I don't have a Yamaha P525 but used to have a P121 (73 key version of the P125). My P121 had a USB audio interface and worked well with Pianoteq - either on Windows PC or Linux (Raspberry Pi). There was no iPad version of Pianoteq back then.
I have a Yamaha CP88 which also has a USB audio interface. I just tested that with Pianoteq 9 on an iPad mini. With a buffer size of 64 latency is 1.5 milliseconds. This is audible if you play Pianoteq and the internal sound engine simultaneously (a very short "slap echo") but with Pianoteq alone I don't notice it.
The P525 also has a USB audio interface - like many Yamahas. You just need a USB data cable (with suitable connectors) from the piano to the computer or iPad. This sends midi to Pianoteq, and receives digital audio back which plays through the built-in speakers of the piano. On the Pianoteq side I found that the software generally "found" and automatically used the piano's audio interface.
There is one last thing: you need to turn off "local control" on the piano (the manual will explain how). This will prevent the internal sound engine from receiving note messages from the keyboard, so that you only hear Pianoteq's audio.
Good luck and let us know what you decide.
Sorry, I wanted to say (for the P525) : to resolve (or to "fix") the note off (velocity) issue. A bit tired and it's impossible to edit a post after 24 hours.

Hi Carmelo,
How did your testing experience go???
We'd be happy to hear what you thought of each piano.
Warmest regards,
Chris
Hi! I have a P515 and, together with Pianoteq 9, it's a delight.

Hi Cris,
unfortunately I had a fever this weekend and wasn't able to test them.
I think I'll be able to give you an answer next weekend, no doubt, if my health is good.
I'll update you soon.

Thank you so much for your comment and information, Jesus!!!
I haven't tested the P525 yet, but I hope it performs like your P515... Have you noticed any problems with the note-off velocity issue?
I'll update you when I try it... but not until next weekend anyway...

Hi Carmelo (Bach @ home?), have you considered the MIDI controllers of Studiologic (SL88 mk2 and mk2 GT)?

FWIW. I've tried it via IPAD. At least at the time neither the keyboard's software menus nor the pianoteq midi display indicated the sometimes-claimed high res/14 bit velocity midi. I passed because of that, and because a high b flat was not responding quite right on the floor model. My sharing this information here on this forum was met with claims that the keyboard indeed supports high res midi protocol, but I still have not seen a Pianoteq screenshot or other proof confirming that, so... Maybe it does but didnt back then? The action felt good to be fair to the yamaha fans, and the sound quality of the keyboard was also good, although it was not the best keyboard action I have felt. Check out higher cost nord and probably the other main brands' work stations for the midifeature-action-sounds trifecta.

Hi Amitev!
Bach @ home is my youtubechannell...
To tell the truth, I didn't consider pure MIDI keyboards and controllers but always digital pianos or stage with speakers because I might need a native sound and speakers if I decide to take it with me to play without a pianoteq and computers.

Hi, Carmelo.
I checked out your YouTube channel and when I found it, I realised I'd heard some of your performances before and been very impressed. I have subscribed. Thank you.
I'm also in a position of considering a new digital piano. I currently own a PX-S7000 but find the action very challenging. I don't have a car so am not able to demo instruments. Therefore I'm very interested to hear your opinions on the pianos you are able to try and your ultimate choice.
Keep playing Bach. You play it very well,
Warmest regards,
Chris

Is it this one? I suspect not, but that's the only one I found with that name, but the player seems a different person? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P...XRfAjiturb

Thanks. Very sad that YT returned a bunch of stuff but not the appropriate one.

Thank you so much for your comment Chris !I'm still undecided between two models: the P525 and the ES 920... The former is superior in sound and voice quality, while I like the action of the latter more...
It's a tough choice, but I'll figure it out within the next week.
