To transfer MIDI data, you need to purchase an A to B USB cable, once connected, the keyboard will be the MIDI controller.<\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><p>Plus you can take advantage of software such as Mixcraft and FL Studio to record, mix and edit your performances live.<\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3EFc42v\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-lasso-id=\"247\"><strong>Check The Latest P45 Price Here<\/strong><\/a><p><\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Yamaha_P-45_Review_Design\"><\/span>Yamaha P-45 Review: Design<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p><\/p><p><\/p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/instrumentalglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Yamaha-P-45-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"541\" height=\"164\" \/><p><\/p><p><\/p><p>The P-45 uses the GHS key action, which means that as you move downwards in the keyboard, the weight of the keys becomes heavier.<\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><p>Players refer to this key action as the real feel, because there are real mini hammers inside the piano engine.<\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><p>In comparison, most digital piano models use springs to facilitate key actions.

It allows you to focus on the next note.<\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><p>You don\u2019t have to be physical as you press the keys, the four levels of hammer actions take care of beginners.<\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><p>It gives you a seamless transition as you increase the weight of the keys, which provides you with a sensation of playing a real <a href=\"https:\/\/instrumentalglobal.com\/best-digital-pianos-for-classical-pianists\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"classic style piano (opens in a new tab)\" data-lasso-id=\"248\"><strong>classic style piano<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><p>We found the touch sensitivity of the P-45 to be good and completely adjustable.<\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><p>It is worth noting that the touch sensitivity is heavily dependent on how hard you press the keys. When you hit the keys hard, the note will be louder and harsher. In short, the velocity controls the timbre and the volume.<\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><p>When using the organ sound, you should turn off the sensitivity mode, so that no matter how hard you punch the keys, the velocity remains unchanged.<\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><p>For beginners, you should use the soft and medium sensitivity modes because the touch doesn\u2019t affect the velocity that much.<\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><p>Advanced players can use the hard touch sensitivity mode, and it gives them the challenge when balancing the note volume.<\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><p>One advantage of playing using the hammer action keyboard is that the hammer action is not too loud. It is a distinguishing feature with other Piano models.<\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><p>The piano keyboard weighs 25lbs, though the key tops are not made from ivory or ebony. Which means they are not moisture absorbing key tops, hence a bad grip by players.<\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Yamaha_P-45_Review_Sound_Quality\"><\/span>Yamaha P-45 Review: Sound Quality<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p><\/p><p><\/p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/instrumentalglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/yamaha-P-45-soud.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><p><\/p><p><\/p><p>If you love simulated piano sounds, then purchase the P-45.
