DP-26 : Pretty Good Piano (for beginners)

8 years ago

Pros: can't say much as we are beginners and can't compare to much else, but we love playing it, and can barely walk past it without having a tinkle.

Cons:

- MIDI does not work* with Android / iOS (a lot of beginners will be using apps on these platforms, such as Simply Piano or Flowkey)*

- User interface, controls and manual is 'a bit 90s' from a time before UX and UE got good.

- Really annoying config for cable sockets at the back meaning the piano can't be pushed up against a wall and needs a 50mm gap (more, if you don't like squishing your cables)

*MIDI works with Windows, a workaround is to connect the tablet/phone to a laptop and connect the laptop to the piano and use a program like MIDI-OX to route the midi signals into the device. Quite awkward and annoying, but might be worth it if you've already purchased a subscription to an app or service.
