Yamaha Reface CP User Review

An in depth look at the sounds and features of the Yamaha Reface CP.

The Demo is split into 3 sections.

0:28 - Overview of unit.
4:50 - Operation of unit.
17:11 - Playing unit via MIDI keyboard.

Markus Fuller has uploaded two very interesting videos on the Reface range one of which I make reference to in this review.

===UPDATE===

As of the 7th of April 2016 firmware version 1.30 has been available for the Reface CP. The main revisions of this update are the option to set the master tuning, transpose and MIDI send and receive channels.

I have installed this update on my instrument and can confirm it does appear to work as expected; solving my main complaints about the instrument. The MIDI receive and transmit channel can now be set via the units keyboard by powering the unit in a special "advanced settings" mode. Setting the channels in this mode is very straightforward when following the updated instruction manual and, most importantly, all settings are stored throughout power cycles.

Bravo Yamaha for excellent implementation of a much needed update.

The updater is available from Yamaha's website
