Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Yamaha PF 80.

Setup and maintenance

  • Using MIDI cables directly to a Focusrite interface may be more reliable than a USB-MIDI converter, as some users find success with this setup.

    Source

Features and functionality

  • The Yamaha P80 does not require a Yamaha USB driver, which is only applicable for Yamaha keyboards with built-in USB connectivity.

    Source
  • The Yamaha P80's key weighting is notably heavier than other Yamaha digital pianos and acoustic pianos, which can cause finger joint pain with extensive play.

    Source

Software and compatibility

  • MIDI connection issues can arise if the "In" cable isn't correctly connected to the "Out" port on the keyboard, as indicated by the cable's LED light behavior.

    Source

Build quality

  • A design flaw in the P80 makes the back side of each key's lever prone to breaking under normal usage, leading to frequent repairs.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • The P80's weighted keys provide intense finger muscle training, making synth action keyboards feel easier to play afterwards.

    Source

User experience

  • Owners find the P80's piano sounds still usable despite its age, and it remains a reliable MIDI controller.

    Source

Comparisons

  • The P80's weighted keys offer a more authentic piano feel compared to the unweighted keys of the Yamaha PSR E373, suitable for those focusing on piano learning.

Critic Reviews

Yamaha PF70/80 Pianos (EMM Jun 86)

muzines.co.uk

The Yamaha PF70/80 electronic pianos bring a solid build and a decent range of FM-generated sounds, showcasing their strengths as MIDI controllers. The weighted keyboards feel professional, catering well to pianists. However, the sounds lean more towards electronic than acoustic, which may not appeal to everyone. The limited display and the absence of pressure sensitivity are notable drawbacks that could hinder performance flexibility. While the internal speakers and effects are commendable, players might find the preset sounds become monotonous over time. Overall, while the PF70/80 offers good value for MIDI setups, it falls short of being a definitive piano alternative.
