• Reverb effect (Reverb effect)
• Metronome (Basic study element to study and practice the tempo of a piece of music)

• Both have metronome and transposition capabilities, as well as a USB MIDI connection that allows them to be connected to a computer to be used as MIDI controllers in a music composition or production program. The Yamaha can be connected to iOS devices such as iPhone/iPad for use with Apps such as Flowkey, to enhance learning.
• Both have a sustain pedal input, on the NP32 this is not included, while on the CDP130 it is.
• The Yamaha NP32 has a very light weight of 5.7kg and measures 1244 x 259 x 105mm, while the Casio DP130 weighs 11.4kg and measures 322 x 286 x 129mm (W x D x H).
