I have a YDS 120. It is a great investment for any sax player. I love the fact that you can practice in private anywhere. Once amplified the sound is of great quality. As a saxophone player for the last 51 years I give it two thumbs up!!

Can you play any of the sax voices in concert pitch? Thanks

@noskanow 14 күн бұрын

Don't think so, and you can't use the tuning function because it hasn't got the range to pull transposing saxes into concert pitch. Good point though, it seems like a C Melody sax isn't catered for.

@ewitor9547 3 күн бұрын

Using the YDS Controller program installed on your smartphone, you can transpose the sound to any key and save it in the instrument’s memory. I created user instruments for playing the soprano in concert pitch.

That is a shame. With the work you have done on it, you might as well go the extra step and put a proper hobby grade receiver in there and a couple of cheap ESCs. Maybe even an internal motor and a rudder.

@noskanow 18 күн бұрын

Yes I might get round to doing that. It's down to the motors and props on this little model, they're not up to what I'm asking of them. Nothing here has cost anything though, all the voltage reg parts were in my bits and bobs box, and it's only cost a couple of hours in time, so disappointing for sure but not shedding any tears over it! My 'Nessie' models has packed up which was my main concern to be honest and it looks like the ESC has died so want to get that fixed now.

Hi Peter, thanks for the great Video. Unfortunately i've taken the securing pin out but the barrel won't budge. it will turn a half turn but absolutely no forward movement, any ideas mate.

@noskanow Ай бұрын

Not really. There are just two O rings on the barrel which should pull out under moderate pressure. You might try putting a couple of drops of silicone oil around the joint and leaving it upright to seep in for an hour. As far as I know the barrel should just pull out, there are no other restraining mechanisms, just the pin you've knocked out.

Nice explanation. One question - how do I connect it to VL70m ? Is there any midi out like wx7 or wx5 etc?

@noskanow Ай бұрын

I had a VL70m back in the '90s and from what I remember I don't see how it could be connected to it. There's no MIDI out from the YDS120 and there are only two ways into it. There's an AUX IN 3.5mm jack plug and as far as I can tell all that does is play an audio input over the internal speaker or headphones. The other way in is via the micro USB connector and this is used to connect to a device which is running the YDS120 App produced by Yamaha and available from Play Store. I've got the app on my mobile phone and when connected it allows you amongst several other things to load synth voices into the custom voice slots. I haven't explored that function because I'm not interested in doing that and I think it's pretty restricted for the kinds of things you're looking to do with it.

@MP-ek6vo Ай бұрын

I got it. Thanks for your response. It does not have any Bluetooth either. I think Yamaha really need to think about their products . Have a good day Sir.

@ewitor9547 3 күн бұрын

To connect the YDS 120 to the VL70m you need the USB to MIDI interface. I am using KENTON (MIDI USB HOST). Set the display to CRL mode. Connect the USB output of YDS 120 to the USB input of the interface. Using a MIDI cable, connect the MIDI output of the interface to the MIDI input of the VL70m. Perform transposition on VL70m

Great review! I just got one. I‘m a guitarist/singer and don’t play the sax yet but I have a list of about 20 songs I intend to learn to play while backing myself with my guitar with the help of a looper. I‘m going to busk and and play cafés and restaurants and small gigs with it which makes its‘ sonic versatility very handy. It’s also great for practicing at any time of the day with earphones in an apartment, a bus, a train, a plane, an airport.... An enormously practical tool!

Apologies to viewers, I had a bit of brain fog during this video. The last of the functions you can set up is REVERB, not vibrato as I said. Vibrato is fixed and can't be changed but if you want to sound like you're playing in a cathedral, turn up the REVERB setting!

@JesusIsKing96 2 ай бұрын

Great video thanks. I have had my YDS120 for just over a week now. There is so much that I love about up, but THE most annoying thing, and U am wondering if it is just me, as I have little hands, is the octave key.! If I don’t have the sax resting on my leg when I play, I am finding that the sax seems to want to turn and so I find it extremely difficult to keep the octave key on. Especially if I am using my palm keys the come back down onto the higher register of c,b and a, I have to REALLY press the octave key. It is so frustrating, because apart from that, the sax does exactly what I hoped it would do. Any advice please?

@noskanow 2 ай бұрын

Yes I too found the octave key a bit troublesome initially. It's positioned about 45 degrees right of centre and even though it's 20mm long it has to be pressed in the middle to activate its digital switch, if the octave touch piece is pressed at its ends the digital switch will not activate. This means that your thumb must be a long way over to the right all the time and I sometimes failed to activate it until I got used to it. It's just a case of being aware of this feature and working with it in the same way you might have to do with a new acoustic saxophone, you have to get used to it.

Another comment regarding the rebuild. I recommend using loctite 572 thread sealant on the regulator cap. It's a proper gas sealant rather than a threadlock. My first attempt with regular loctite 243 blue threadlock didn't hold up under pressure. The 572 has to be cured for 48hrs or so, but it fills the relatively coarse threads and does the job. It's also easy to disassemble again. I rebuilt my Varmint in 2020 and it's shot 11.4 - 11.5 ftlb consistently ever since.

@noskanow 3 ай бұрын

Thanks Andy, fair point and good suggestion if anyone has to buy the thread locker/sealant. I happened to have a bottle of Loctite thread lock so used it and the gun is still leak free, but as you say, getting the reg cap off again if required might be a struggle!

I am not a professional, insured repairer and therefore would never work on anyone else's air rifle even if I could. If you don't feel confident enough to do this yourself then my advice is don't ask a non professional to do it for you. If you don't want to do this yourself my very strong advice is to take or send your gun to a registered professional repairer in your area and I've just done an Internet search and found 10 of them in and around London.

I noticed the lenses didn't have blackened edges, I don't know if you blackened them, if not, you should. I've done this, by using a black, permanent marker to just give them a few coats, it really helps contrast. I've also done this on my eyepieces which didn't have blackened edges. You can get certain paints that would work, but I've had good results with a black marker.

It tested 15 ft lb after this mistake, and that would be the problem with such a video.
