This channel is very underrated. The quality in these videos is incredible.
Definitely!
agreed
Absolutely!
Out of all the things in this video. The plant sitting on top is my favourite 🙂
I was just gonna say!!🤣🌱
I never noticed it, I was trying to work out what the FX pedal was lol
I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or a dig, lol! But I like the plant, too...
@@Syntaur Here is a little video of fun gear and jamming...

Cheers!
Finally a video about the CP35 that doesn't have potato audio! I've always wondered what it sounded like!
Though as for the Hall and Oates usage, I think that was the CP-30, as that's what it shows in the actual music video and it sounds more like the 30 to my ears. (I could be totally wrong though)
Yes it was a CP-30
Note Daryl Hall playing the CP35 in his basement! czcams.com/video/rpAYNAdfQGQ/video.html
all my homies love Syntaur
I like these videos where you feature a particular keyboard. Very interesting.
i dont understand you dont have a million subscribers. this is the bob ross of the synthesizers.
where's the chromium white, and that little bit of ochre? Not to forget, a happy little tree and his happy little friends here and there...
Thanks for this! it looks very similar to my Yamaha GS2 (FM digital KB), which came out the same year.
Love this and the CP25 more than the CP20 and CP30 tbh.
Much more usable sounds.
I was never a fan of the piano sound on the CP-30. Yamaha made some improvements with the 35.
Thank God they invented the dx7 later on.
I used to gig with a CP-30... Super Heavy, but worth it. The fulcrum set back into the body makes the keys feel like a real piano.
yeah I giged my cp30 for the first time last week its so worth the hassle
Gigged with the CP30 with a Vox Jaguar organ sitting on the top. (Had to make a Dexion gantry to hold up the rear overhang)
The CP30 felt great to play but sounded terrible. Heavy but as a 20 year old that was ok but I did replace it with an Arp 4 voice piano. A maligned model but I loved it. It sounded better and although large it was a lot lighter but with a larger flat top for fitting second keyboard.
This CP35 does sound better than the CP30 though.
Cool piano! I used to play one back in the day. The 2 piece cover once removed, were the legs or stand If I remember correctly. Thanks for the vid!
Nice electric piano.
Thank you so much for posting this video! I had one of these when I was in high school/college. Used it with the jazz band. Great sounds!
Interesting how close they came to that Fender Rhodes kind of sound. Not that the flanger effect sounds bad...but why they didn't use the ensemble effect from the GS2 or the SK range on that machine is above me.
I feel a channel coming named If this was your only instrument.
Starting at 4:00 to 4:45 I'm getting some serious Alan Parson's Project vibe.
Thought the exact same thing.
I robot?
@@RamaPrabawaAji That must be it. They don't sound the same at all as songs but the vibe comes through for me.
Has Syntaur considered making boutique synths? It seems to me that the components have come way down in price, and in the hands of people who know what they're doing, it might be lucrative.
ooooh.. lovely !
saw one of these at my local thrift shop last week but there was no power cable (ungrounded) around to test it. plus there's no midi and it was incredibly huge and heavy. not so pracrtical for my small project studio.... left it for someone else's lucky day
soundin great guys!!!!!! cheers!@
As I understand, a CP-30 was used on "Kiss On My List" - one of my all time favorite keyboard sounds, whatever it was. Any chance a CP-35 can sound like that?
Daryl Hall used a CP30 on the album....not a CP35
Seems like velocity but not Aftertouch. Reasonable
I dunno... I am sure I am in the minority thinking the CP30 sounds better. It has the weird, haunting electronic piano sound which is truly unique whereas this one sounds like Yamaha was really trying to emulate the traditional Clavinet/Rhodes/Pianet sounds and kinda nailed it.
You might be in the minority, but I agree with you. I liked the 30 but to me the 35 always sounded kind of cheap.
3:23 Hell yeah!
Darly Hall And John Oates Is My Inspiration 👐🔥👐 !!!!!!!
Did Syntaur ever record anything?
What camera/lens was used in this
...looks like a twin of my GS2 but (of course) sounds totally different...
May I ask, what do you think the song, of that mysterious internet 80s song,
What synth does it use, it sounds like a dx7, but has some weird vibro effects.
The resonance sounds like it it would of been made from the dx7 flute preset or the prophet-5.
Hi, does anyone know what is the exact weight of this piano? I have a crazy affordable offer, but it seems too heavy to move and carry to my my appartment (I'm on 2nd floor). It is announced to be around 50kg on the website, but the seller told me it was not that heavy. Since I live alone, probably I'll have to move it by myself if needed. So I just want to confirm wether it is possible for 1 person to handle with the weight?
I have one and it is incredibly heavy. Definitely at least 50kg
Max I’d recommend one person try to carry is 10-15kg
I have one. Will never sell
Sounds more like an organ rather than a piano
