absolutely not. The p515 piano patch is mid-range (the sx900 piano is superior)
Hi Mark,
I can’t tell if you are addressing my comment. Admittedly I have never played a P515 or a CP piano, or a Genos, and know even less about Roland and Nord pianos, so I’ll take your final word on this.
I do agree that the MODX synth should not be considered a top tier portable piano sound, there are definitely some issues with it. I do wonder how the Genos CFX piano voice compares with my MODX CFX piano voice, as there is little discussion about that online, probably since one is an arranger and the other a synth.
It was my understanding from a serious reviewer that the P515 was essentially the same piano quality as a Clavinova just in a portable casing. So I am confused that you are calling the P515 “midrange” quality.
Also confused that you are saying the SX900 arranger piano is “superior” to the P515? I had an SX900 and traded it in for a MODX7+ because I thought the SX piano, though it was a very nicely processed piano sound, still was quite thin sounding in the mid-range and perhaps didn’t decay and sustain correctly enough for me when playing serious solo pieces.
Long story short, I now want to sell my MODX7+ and re-acquire the SX900 because I discovered I really prefer arrangers to synths, and think the SX piano is sufficient enough for me
so was curious about your comments.
