Thanks Jokeyman123! It's good to know a teacher likes the action of these models. I still can't decide though. On one hand the CDP-S100 has textured keys and the same, newer action of more expensive PX models... on the other, it seems there's much less complaints about the action of the older CDP series...

Hi! I was able to try a CDP-S100 on a store, and while it did feel good overall, I confirmed the issues of the different weight on black keys, and also the difficulty of playing deeper into the keys. The keys also "wiggle" horizontally more than other pianos I tried. So I thought of buying the older CDP-135. Some online stores are still selling CDP-135, but there's none available to try anymore where I live. On videos, I like the sound of the 135 much more than the S100, but I'm afraid of buying it without testing first. Because maybe the action is worse than the S100... So, can anyone here who has used both models give me some info about how different their actions feel? Are the issues I mentioned about the S100 present on the 135 as well?

Thanks a lot for the response, Brad! Didn't know about this function on digital pianos

Hi everyone! I'm thinking of buying a CDP-S100 to use as a controller, because although I don't like it's sound, the price is too good where I live. I know it can be used as a controller, so I will be able to use headphones and hear the sound from the software while playing. My question is, is it possible to hear the VST sounds through the onboard speakers of the piano? It has a line in connection, but is it possible to mute the sounds from the piano itself and hear only the VST on the speakers? The obvious solution would be to use external speakers, of course, but given the added price it would be better to buy a more expensive digital piano with better samples. Also, I would like to confirm whether the action on the CDP-S100 and the S350 are the same. I have searched about it and found different answers.
