Advice? Yamaha TX-1P vs. Roland P-330 piano modules
Carl Cleaver
two used models:
Yamaha TX-1P - $199 - seems in good shape.
Roland P-330 - $280 - I have not seen this one yet.
About the Roland - has anyone used one? Is the
price reasonable? How are the sounds? What kind?
About the Yamaha - I played it a little - it seemed
a little noisy, but useable. Any opinions from users
of the module would be appreciated.
Have either of these been reviewed that anyone has seen?
Thanks for any help!

Find yourself a used Emu Proformance. I liked the TX1P back in 1990 but
it was quite noisy until the built-in noise gate (sure sounded that way)
kicked in.

Same sound exactly. I love mine. Wouldn't be without it. It is
NOT samples but S/A synthesis. The Rhodes and Vibes kill on this
thing.
Biggest drawback is that it is Mono except for the chorusing.
Buy It. Much better than the Yamaha. For me the Proformance is way
too static although sounds much "Grander".
Over.

I was also searching for a piano module a while back. I was interested in
the TX1P also because the local music place was blowing them out, but it
didn't sound as good as the pianos in my SY77 in my opinion. It wasn't
_bad_, but nothing great, either. I compared it against the Roland P-5 (I
think that's what it's called, the SoundCanvas piano module) and the P-5
absolutely sounded beautiful.
What did I buy? Neither -- I ended up getting a JV90 (am happy with the
piano sounds in it, but am seriously thinking about getting the piano
expansion board if those sounds are better) ...
