Subject:Yamaha CP-1/ CP5 / CP50 sightings, anyone?

We have all the new CP series at our store here at our music store and I haven't yet had the time to review them in depth, but after a quick listen I like the sounds, but hate the user interface..  very unfriendly.. typical of Yamaha.. (my humble opinion).  I find the keyboard action is quite light for a weighted keyboard..  which for some is a very good thing.
 
Regarding the user interface, it's just not easy to quickly switch from different categories of sounds.. (unless I'm missing something). It seems to require multiple steps rather than just spinning through a dial or inputting on a keypad..   I'll spend some more time with them over the next week or two, when we're not too busy, and see if my opinon changes as I start to figure out the interface.  If so I will provide a further update.

Craig MacDonald
