  1. I stopped by the GC in San Jose yesterday as I read they'd received a CP4 & CP40. Of course....the brilliant folks at GC had the CP4 mounted on a stand above my shoulders plugged into a Roland "crap" amp....I asked for headphones right away.... In the brief amount of time I had, I could tell the playability/ feel was above most DP's I've sampled. The CFX, CFIIIS & S6 models sounded very big & "full"....the 5 band EQ made some drastic changes (I could see the ease of having these hardware controls being a big asset onstage). I wasn't able to draw the "bite" out of the Rhodes models that I heard in an online demo. Like I said....I didn't have much time along with where the keyboard was positioned....it was a bit difficult to control. The other Motif sounds described as "based on our flagship Motif" sounded a bit weak and watered down compared to what I recall from the actual Motif. Unlike the Casio PX5s....where you can "feel" the filter sweeps on a pad....the CP4 seems like they weren't overly concerned with the extra Motif voices. However; the quality and variety of piano/ EP voices seem to make this package a very attractive offering! I definitely want to spend more time with this board!
