Authentic Vintage Keyboard Sounds

Each sound has been carefully voiced to provide a highly playable and expressive experience suited to live performance, studio production and songwriting.

Classic Stompbox-Style Effects

A dedicated onboard effects section provides vintage-style effects with direct hands-on control. Drive, tremolo, chorus, phaser, delay and reverb effects can be adjusted instantly using intuitive front-panel controls, allowing players to shape sounds quickly without navigating menus.

The carefully selected effect combinations complement each keyboard type perfectly, helping recreate the signature sounds heard on countless classic recordings.

Portable Design with Built-In Speakers

Weighing just 1.9kg, the Reface CP is designed for musicians who need genuine portability without compromising sound quality. The compact design easily fits into home studios, desktop setups, rehearsal spaces and mobile performance rigs.

Integrated stereo speakers allow the Reface CP to be played virtually anywhere without external amplification, while Yamaha’s bass reflex technology helps deliver surprisingly rich and full sound from the compact speaker system.

HQ Mini Keyboard Action

The 37-note HQ mini keyboard is based on Yamaha’s high-quality FS action design philosophy, delivering a fast, responsive and highly playable feel for expressive performance. The keyboard is particularly well suited to electric piano, synth and organ-style playing techniques while maintaining excellent portability.

Battery Powered Mobile Performance

The Reface CP can operate using six AA batteries, providing up to five hours of portable performance time. Combined with its lightweight construction and built-in speakers, this makes the instrument ideal for rehearsals, travel, backstage practice, outdoor performance and mobile music creation.

Flexible Connectivity

Despite its compact size, the Reface CP offers extensive connectivity including USB MIDI, MIDI IN/OUT, sustain pedal input, stereo outputs and AUX input for mobile devices. This allows seamless integration with recording setups, live rigs, tablets, computers and external sound systems.
