With the Reface CP, though, we don’t see the lack of patch memory as a concern. In our Reface CS review, we called out that keyboard’s lack of patch memory as potential issue for some users. The biggest downside is the mini keyboard – we frequently found ourselves wanting another octave or two of keys. Dig in a little, and the CP responds with brighter more metallic sounds.
It’s a mini-keyboard, but it’s very sensitive and the CP’s sound engine responds beautifully to variations in how you play. Play the Rhodes 1 patch softly and the CP responds with delicate bell tones. The Yamaha Reface CP offers instant gratification – great sounds and effects, with everything very clearly laid out on the front panel. The interface is all dedicated knobs and switches, so you just flip a toggle to enable/disable the effect that you want and then dial in the effects settings. The effects are tailored to the CP’s keyboard types and bring to mind some classic 70’s effects pedals and an early digital reverb.

Of course, the Reface CS wouldn't be a CS if it didn't give you tons of tweakability, that's why each type of synthesis has its own set of Texture and Mod sliders that take simple oscillator types and let you turn them into gentle soundscapes, mangled sonic carnage, and everything in between.It’s a combo piano, in mini keyboard form, that lets you play the most iconic electric piano sounds.
Packed with five types of synthesis and onboard effects, the Reface CS provides you with a variety of lush pads, fat basses, and solo leads.
