The reface series is based around 4 Legendary Yamaha Keyboard ranges; The CS series for classic analogue Synths, CP Series for Stage Pianos, EY Series for Combo organs and and the DX series for Digital FM synths All featuring the same basic compact chassis, they each have their own flavour with both styling sounds, and internals taken from their original ancestors!
The reface CS
The reface CS is based on the Yamaha CS Analogue synthesizers from the late 70 s and early 80 s that featured the AM1X Resonance Filters It has a tremendous range of versitility, capable of being both mono and polyphonic, and it s suited and booted with all of the great synth controls you need to create some breathtaking tones from the classics to today s synth tones
It s a serious beast with monsterously low bass tones and self oscillation down from 100Hz that will make your speakers go wild!
Looks Like a Toy, Behaves like a beast
At first look, you may be fooled into thinking that the reface pianos are somewhat of a toy With their super compact design mini keys and in built speakers, it does seem reminiscent of a few mini-starter-keyboard instruments that i grew up with in looks
HOWEVER, in terms of both sound quality,playability and features, the Reface series completely blows those keyboards out off the water!
Thanks to its internal circuitry the sound is warm and rich and has all the artifacts and intricacies of the original If you wanted, you could plug the reface into a larger rig and just use it as a compact top quality sound module for a larger keyboard with fully weighted keys
Mini Keys, Mighty Control
With mini-keys becoming more prominent in a range of keyboards these days, many players have been disappointed by their lack of playability and responsiveness compared to a proper keyboard action Having been used to the proper hammer action of a real piano myself, I have in the past sometimes wondered whether mini-keys is that one step too far!
What s great about the reface key bed is that you ll find that the Mini-Keys are like none that have been before The keys not only feel better to play, there s a huge amount of expressiveness and sensitivity that is sometimes lost in other mini key setups In a reface promotional video a reviewer remarked It seems like a piano player actually made the keys !
There is obviously a reason why Yamaha decided to use mini-keys on the Reface series, and as soon as you start taking that keyboard out and about, you really start to see the benefits of its compact nature Whether your on your (usually dull) train ride to work with some headphones on or yo
