The top 3 or 4 notes of the YDP-142 I played sounded awful, not musical. Is that a characteristic of the YDP142 or did I just get a bad sample?

I set my YDPl42R to play as a baby grand (I used to have one). I love the sound quality and am very pleased with my purchase.

I'm not sure how to attest to the loudness - what to compare it to, but comparing it to others I've had in the past, I do feel this one is louder. If you can think of something for me to compare it to, I'd be glad to do so. As to the eighth notes - yes, it does play them...as well as triplets, and others. I highly recommend this device.

I play it through my guitar amp. The chord is damn flimsy so be careful! Sound is good, if you can use a preamp or sound processor with reverb it helps a ton. A direct box should work just fine. It's way easier and sounds better than micing it IMHO.If you push the levels of your PA system you may run into feedback issues. Run a dress rehearsal and find the best spots on stage that don't feedback. Again that chord is very flimsy, one trip and it's game over. Have a backup plan like a microphone just in case.

The Martin-Logan literature says 42-22000 Hz +- 3 dB. So it misses the first octave. The rest of the spectrum sounds smooth and clean.

I love the shimmer effect but it can be hard to use. There's often times a hash clipping on the reverb if you play a really harsh note all of a sudden. Really depends on what type of playing you're looking to use it for.

https://m.reddit.com/comments/286hv7Check the above link out - video of someone who plugged in a violin and how exactly they tuned it to the game- like someone else said you'd have to figure out yourself how notes correlate to the tablature which will be a complication and also just a downside to the game as you won't be able to read music afterwards

Looking at it now, I don't find any oriental sounds. Other sounds over all are excellent. A few months after purchas I played a Yamaha psr950. The voices blew away anything I've ever heard except the actual instrument. It's 800 more money , but if you're future proofing it's the one. Also don't know if it has oriental voices sorry

Hi Jay. I don't thinks so. I have mine pretty well and I've never heard this kind of problem in 500. Maybe you can search it on Head-FI.org. I think sibilance should be unnatural in any headphones at this price... Does it happen for all piano and sax or just one song? Try more songs and make sure it's headphone's problem or not, and if so, burn in it more hours. If still, wish you a good luck...

I concur with exactly what jb said... I plugged it into an older Dennon recevier phono jacks and it sounded awful, as soon as plugged in to a aux input, sounded like it should. The only thing I don't like about it is that there is not a little needle lift/drop thingy :) I think the model that replaced the one I bought does have it.

Second thoughts - you might wantbto give me more thoughts on how you want to usethe SR16 in this configuration. I was thinking when I first replied that youbwanted to load it up with a midi pattern. But it occurs to me now you might want to be going in the opposite direction and loading an SR16 song back up to the Magix app. More info needed Rich.

My roommate had this system last year and he played them at a fairly loud level the entire year and didn't have any issues with it. It sounds like you may have not had some of the options correct or use you just had a "dud" system. Meaning one bad system.

Truly, it is a matter of taste. I use it on cello, banjo, and mandolin. They all sound fantastic. I tried a clip on condenser - too much feedback. This was a great middle ground between a condenser and an actual pickup. It also depends on the context you play in. If you play with live acoustic drums, get this - no feedback issues. Also, keep in mind that a good external preamp will work wonders. The 411 itself sounds a bit unnatural, but a good external preamp will fix that and allow you to shape the sound to taste and in context. That being said, a phantom power supply and an external preamp aren't cheap. External gear can be as critical as the source, though. Truly, it is a matter of taste.

Hi Cynthia, the notes are G, D, and F. I've not checked it with a tuner, but it sounds in perfect pitch to me. I posted a video review if you'd like to hear it!

Nina, I hit the wrong key, so this may be a repeat. But, yes it does. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I play Bridge and just love this Hoyle version. Cassie Maull

You might be confusing this with the 110? Anyway, I have several classical guitars and the string spacing seems normal to me. I would add that the whole feel of the neck is just exactly what I'd expect from a normal classical guitar. I would add that it sounds different, but great. I love mine.

I am questioning this purchase. My son uses it for vocals. It used to sound better but now it is all Bass. I suspect the high frequency driver is blown and am in the process of replacing ($80).Does it produce quality high frequencies at all? If not, may be the same issue.
