N1X is a dust magnet I thought my apartment was dust free compared to the previous ones, since we live on a high floor, far from busy roads and indeed there’s much less visible dust on the furniture than before, it’s much cleaner than what I’m used to. Well, I realized I was wrong after I got the N1X It seems to collect and somehow suck all the dust in the universe...
Hi all. I'm still awaiting my N1X - Yamaha just advised my dealer it will now be a few weeks later than expected so looking at mid May I believe. Can I ask, and sorry if it's been asked before, has anyone found a decent cover for the N1X? Or anyone that would make one to size online? Nothing too old fashioned or frilly preferably!
My dealer is advising mid-late June delivery despite we are on the same island. Guess this is also why our price are heavily discounted.
I am going to stitch a few towels together to make the piano cover.
I have "not" watched this video yet... I guess this will be an interesting comparison to watch. Thanks, Bonners!:

I watched the video and both the piano's sound great! I am assuming they are direct in recorded.
I "think" I preferred the N1X for my style of play or my hearing. The N1X seems to have a little bit more "bite" to the samples and the NV10 is slightly more mellow in tone. This makes sense since the real AP's sound that way in real life.
Now, it is just your own personal flavor of sound that you prefer. I am so happy that the hybrids have come out now and these days of playing DP's and their inferior sound are going away.

One of the benefits of the N1X is that it comes with 2 distinct samples - the Yamaha CFX that is indeed "bright" and the Bosendorfer that is a lot more mellow. The NV10 has just one sound, but provides a number of different filters to make it brighter
I haven't been able to watch the video above - it is comparing NV10 with N1X or the N1?

N1X. It is only the second N1X video on Youtube since NAMM (after Chrispy's!)

While true for the SK-EX rendering engine, the NV10 comes with ~17 different pianos (probably 5-7 samples distinct samples) including EX Grand, SK-5, and upright pianos. You'd be forgoing the advanced rendering engine, but IIRC the N1X reserves some of its features for its flagship CFX sample only, too.

Well, yes and no. On the N1X both the CFX and the Bosendorfer use 4-channel sampling. I would assume they are equally premium and make use of all the possible engine effect like resonances, smooth release, etc. It was on Clavinova pianos that the Bosendorfer lacked some features. On the NV10 you have only one rendering piano, the SK-EX, whereas the others are stereo samples with the older engine.
Dust and cat hair. And then more cat hair. And the cats themselves.
Maybe piano_kat_123 has no cats ;-)
Haha! No cats, but a dog, and two small children... often (always?) with sticky hands. Any extra form of protection can only help! Whilst they're young anyway, I totally agree it's a shame to cover it as it's a beautiful instrument.

Ah - I see a brand new video - I will look forwards to watching it later - but I am pretty sure Bonners have already put out an N1X video (and of course an NV10 one).
YMMV, In my opinion the “older†samples of the SKEX, EX, and especially the SK5, are still very good. Playing SK5 on speakers in a room just sounds so realistic to me.

In the NV10 you have several settings to configure the sound output. Since this is a sample-based instrument there are obvious limits, but, nevertheless, you have some room for adjustments. And then you have the "characters" in pianist mode that work as kind of presets using different "microphone" position and mix settings. These also significantly change the sound profile. The N1X seems to be more limited in this regard (unless the external app unlocks additional settings).

Is it confirmed that the Bosendorfer is also multi-sampled?

They have, of course, put out videos on both. This new one is a head-to-head comparison of the N1X and NV10, though.
