In this video, we’ll be taking a deep dive into Yamaha’s hugely popular YDP-144 Arius home digital piano. As one of the top selling home digital pianos on the market in 2020, there’s literally thousands of YDP-144’s out there in various homes, teaching studios and institutions. With that in mind, we’re excited to take a peek under the hood so to speak and see this instrument is all about. If this is the first time to the Merriam Pianos channel, please subscribe, we’d really appreciate the support. Background: The YDP-144 is the entry point into Yamaha’s popular Arius series. The changes are significant as you move up the line to the top model with the YDP-184, which featured an upgraded action, sound engine, and speakers among other things. We’ve decided to start by looking at the YDP-144 because it is by far the most popular model of the line, and competes against the most popular models from other manufacturer’s, such as Kawai’s KDP-110, and Roland’s F140r. Piano Sound: The YDP-144 features Yamaha’s CFX sound engine. The main sample is the 9’ CFX Concert Grand Sample, and it’s immediately clear that we’re looking at a high quality sample here. It’s definitely very bright and stable sounding, which Yamaha is known for. Speaker wise, we’ve got a pair of 8 watt speakers for a total of 16 watts. For personal use, this is more than enough, though it’s noteworthy that both the Roland F140r (24 watts) and Kawai KDP-110 (40 watts) feature more powerful amplifiers. Polyphony tops out at 192 notes, which again, is more than enough for solo pianos playing. Going through the rest of the sounds (10 total), and it becomes clear that the various patches are consistently good, especially the E. Piano tones. 10 on-board sounds is a little light compared to the pianos the YDP-144 competes against, but the all of your essentials are covered here. There’s a Piano Room setting which can be applied to the two main acoustic piano samples which allows you to toggle between several preset reverb configurations to change some of the subtleties of the piano sound. Other editable parameters include damper resonance, individual key setting (volume and tuning), and touch curve. Piano Action: Yamaha’s GHS action is present here in the YDP-144. For anyone who's seen some of our other reviews where we cover this action, you’ll recall I feel that the GHS action is an action that everyone should play and form their own opinions of, as for my personal preferences, I feel the action has some obvious drawbacks as well as strengths. Here’s what’s good about the action; the GHS action is very solid meaning there isn’t much side-by-side give to the keys, which is very helpful for more intricate playing. I also like the feel of the keybed - it isn’t too hard or too soft, and kind of in the middle feel-wise between the KDP110 and F140r, and there’s also a nice matte finish on the black keys, Now for some of the things I feel are missing; the GHS action features a double sensor as opposed to a triple sensor found in the more advanced models of the Arius series, as well as the KDP-110 and F140r. The double sensor may be fine for most, but you may run into some accuracy issues. There’s also no texture on the white keys, which may be an issue for folks who play in a more percussive manner, though your mileage may vary. Piano Features: The YDP-144 comes standard with a well built cabinet, which also includes an integrated triple pedal unit. There’s also a built in music desk, as well as a USB port, and 2 ⅛” headphone jacks. There’s no discrete line out, so while you can use the one of the headphone jacks, this may not be ideal. Thanks so much for watching! We’ll have some upcoming comparison videos featuring the YDP-144 in the weeks to come so please stay tuned!
