Polyphony is the number of notes a digital piano can produce at the same time. When connecting the P-115 to external speakers or an amplifer you can choose whether to shut off the onboard speakers or not. You can always connect the piano to an external amplifier or a PA system to get more powerful sound if you need to. The onboard speakers are sufficient for casual home usage and small performances in front of your friends or family. Two dedicated true-circle speakers convey full, rich low frequencies, and combined with the tweeters offer clear and well-balanced sound. For the size and not the most powerful amplifiers the speakers sound surprisingly good. The onboard speaker system consists of 2 x 12cm + 2 x 4cm speakers ( 7W + 7W amplifiers). The depth of the reverb can also be adjusted from 0 to 20. There are 4 types of reverb on the keyboard: Recital Hall, Concert Hall, Chamber, and Club.
It will make the sound bigger and more expressive, simulating various acoustic environments. Reverberation is the only sound effect available on the P115. They all sounded pretty authentic to me, though the piano tones were my main focus. 3 Grand Pianos (including the CFIIIS 9′ concert grand sound).In total there are 14 instrument sounds available on the P-115:.The white keys are glossy the black ones have a matte finish on them, which prevents fingers from slipping when they become moist. The keys of the P-115 are made of plastic and don’t have synthetic Ivory & Ebony key tops like some of Yamaha’s higher-end action keyboards (GH, GH3). To my taste, the default “ Medium” setting feels the most natural and close to a real piano. The “ Fixed” setting on the other hand will make the keyboard not touch-sensitive at all the piano will produce the same amount of volume regardless of how hard or soft you play. You’ll need to strike the keys really hard to produce the loudest sound.
The “ Hard” setting provides the widest dynamic range from the softest pianissimo to the thunderous fortissimo and allows you to play with great expressiveness. There are the 4 preset settings available: Hard, Medium (default), Soft and Fixed. You can also adjust the level of touch sensitivity to better suit your playing style. The keyboard is touch (velocity) – sensitive, which means the harder you play the keys, the louder the sound. The keys on the P-115 are weighted similar to an acoustic piano, low-end keys are heavier to the touch, and high-end keys are lighter. The touch of the GHS is quite heavy and feels close to an acoustic piano, which is great for building proper finger strength and technique needed for playing smoothly on a traditional instrument. The GHS action is found on pretty much all Yamaha digital pianos under 1000$. The keyboard action is called the Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) and it’s the most affordable hammer-action mechanism of Yamaha for today. The P115 has 88 fully weighted keys, which are the same size as you’ll find on an acoustic piano. The P-115 is available in two colors, black ( P-115B) and white ( P-115WH). The app will allow you control various parameters (voice, mode, reverb, recording/playback, metronome, etc.) with an intuitive, on-screen interface. The P115 has no display, but you can use the special Digital Piano Controller app, which Yamaha has designed for iOS devices (see “ Connectivity” section).
XDREAM P115 MANUAL
To access the rest of the functions and settings, you’ll need to press a certain Button + Key combination.Īll combinations are listed in the User Manual (Quick Operation Guide). There are 14 dedicated buttons for recording/playback features, metronome, accompaniment styles and some of the instrument sounds on the P-115. I like the sleek, simple design of the instrument with a nice red lining on top of the keys. It’s easy to move around and there are plenty of keyboard bags that will fit the piano. Moreover, the P-115 is a popular choice for gigs and live shows. The piano is easy to put away when not in use, which is particularly useful if you have little kids or pets. One person can easily carry the keyboard without any extra help. The piano is not only compact, but also pretty lightweight ( 26 lbs.).
