Yamaha PSS-A50 (Review/Demo) PIANO, ORGAN, GUITAR, LOOPING, LAYOUT

[@davidetambuchi5722]

I have one and it is fantastic! I use mainly for classical music, especially Bach and Baroque period, as a piano or organ portable. I hope to find in the future the same model with 49 keys.

[@stanleysheppard8464]

PSS-A50 does loop recorded phrases. Please see review by Keen on Keys.

[@plantpoweredmuscle]

I love this little thing to fiddle around on. The same batteries have been in mine for months and I play mine at least 3 times a week!

[@Elazarko]

What battery brand were you using? Which do you recommend?

[@plantpoweredmuscle]

@@Elazarko The ones that I’ve been using are Duracell because I got a bull pack at Costco. I’m sure maybe rechargeable batteries might last even longer.

[@WxkR]

HOW IN THE WORLD DIDN’T YOU EVEN MENTION THE INTERNAL PHRASE LOOPER??? Yes, I’m screaming bc this is an entertaining review. Your viewers might believe they absolutely need to buy loopers or se sequencers to make some music with this.

[@peterjamesmmbago2773]

This looks and sounds so fantastic

[@pepefroglive]

Good review. I been looking for the best sounding portable keyboard and this is it.

[@tabletappedgameplays7475]

I love your reviewing style. Very entertaining video.

[@lofinesse]

I really like your review and your type of humor :D Also how your dog was barking and you incorporated it into the video. I was cracking up quite a bit and I ended up buying this keyboard ^^

[@BoneZone]

Part 2 coming soon

[@alexanderf2121]

Amazingly played! Made me eager for a loop pedal. 😊

[@ritchiebarber]

Pretty sure if you press shift and play the phrase recorder will loop.

[@fiditunka]

it CAN loop the recorded "song" ... when you press shift and play. ;)

[@rebelrevolution22]

I'm trying to figure that out I know this I think you have to begin playing as soon as you hit record cab you help me with this?

[@fiditunka]

@@rebelrevolution22 when you press record. tha phrase is "armed" ... the recording starts wirh the first note youn play on the keybed. ... thats the easy part. the difficult part is to stop the recording just in time. .... so now when you hold down shift and then press play the phrase recording will run in a smooth loop.

[@rebelrevolution22]

Thanks! I'm workin on it. it's harder than you'd think 😂

[@genebrady]

Another review said you can transmit per voice reverb and chorus settings via MIDI. Sounds possibly clunky but awesome!

[@NFS-shade]

I got this last year. And i just got akai mini mk3 because this yamaha only single layer recording and akai is different platform

[@1683clifton]

This pos keyboard found your channel for me, and I'm stoked. Thornton boy here.

[@sirpetrov3945]

Hi. Based on my conditions at the moment, will need to practice with headphones on almost constantly. Could you tell me please, based on that, which keyboard will be better for me - PSS A50 or PSS F30 ? Thank you.

[@BoneZone]

Well they have the same sounds except I think the pss a50 has more sounds. I feel like you would get more fun out of the pssa50

[@paulyllow]

F30 has more sounds and auto accompaniment functions but keybed is not touch sensitive. It’s more fun. But if you plan to use the keys as controller, A50 is better because it has velocity keybed and arpeggios which you can use in your music software.

[@tristan6509]

F30 is a much better standalone keyboard for playing music While the A50 is better as a tool for creating music The F30 has auto accompaniment features like you'd expect on an arranger keyboard The A50 has arrpegios and recording features, plus it can be used as a midi controller So they're not really comparable. Use the right tool for the right job If you want both then you have to splurge the cash on a more expensive PSR.

[@aemilia2313]

I was on the fence with this keyboard but your video convinced me to get it! Btw can you elaborate on the “cheating with reverb pedal” part? Never used one before, do you plug it into the headphone jack? If I want to use the pedal and headphones, do I need a splitter cable?

[@tri5556]

If you go out the headphone jack to a pedal (a stereo reverb is almost twice the cost of this keyboard), you will need to go into another headphone amplifier- they are built into small mixing boards, and most battery powered guitar mini amps.. I think a small behringer mixer like the 1002fx or 1202fx (79-99 bux) is the easiest route. They have built-in effects and a headphone output, along with microphone inputs and outputs to hook up to an amp. It'd come in handy if you want more instruments playing at once :)

[@avokevo5394]

Ok the riff/song at ~4 minute mark was 🔥🔥

[@avokevo5394]

Yep, I feel like you could make a pet rock sound funky, but I’ll be damned if I don’t want one of these now

[@aktempland]

Hi there, awesome review. When I plug mine into effects or amp, there is quite a bit of white noise. Did you have that as well?

[@dwsel]

Yes, it has kinda low level on output and high noise floor. I gave mine multifx pedal with noise gate at the first stage.

[@aktempland]

@@dwsel Thanks for the reply. Somehow for me that problem disappeared somehow ...

[@Web_82]

Nice video,thanks!

[@joyfulvision]

WHERE CAN I FIND ONE?! To buy?

[@2uentertainment373]

How! Nice, it is

[@NataliaEriksson]

Hi, what is the melody at 2:10?

[@othinus]

what is the lowest note on this piano without transposing? is it a c4?

[@bob3808]

I came here for a Keyboard review!! I did not expect to leave a fan!

[@yeoldefoxeh254]

Phase recorder DOES loop!!!!

[@gustinagoientertainmentstu7997]

Good toturial

[@nilessundstrom4213]

Can I connect this keyboard to my ipad and us it with my playground session app

[@plantpoweredmuscle]

I think I messed with a setting and can’t figure how to make the loop actually loop. It plays one time and ends.

[@BoneZone]

Yeah. It's not a looper. It plays once. It's more of a song recorder than a looper. I was suprised when I found that out too

[@plantpoweredmuscle]

@@BoneZone Yeah, I must’ve been thinking of the arpeggiator hold.

[@ildo]

actually it does loop, as it mentions in the "Owner's Manual" (page 11), under Record/Playing>Repeat Playback, "Playback the recorded phrase repeatedly. While holding down [SHIFT], press [▶/■]"

[@staticklingon2182]

Can you line out of the looper pedal with headphones without an amp? Trying to decide my next purchase because I really want a looper pedal but don't have an amp yet.

[@BoneZone]

I haven't tried that yet... With certain loopers I think you can boost the volume high enough for a headphone though

[@gustinagoientertainmentstu7997]

Super kebod good sound

[@jonathanbrettyoung5749]

nice!

[@leoyleosss9949]

Brass...? Demo

[@BoneZone]

Pretty sure it's in part two

[@hanlinhanlin1811]

More Play song with pss a50.

[@lionking3886]

it doedn't sound continously even pressing button .short sound .

[@billkillernic]

100 bucks is too expensive though especially if you take into account that its made in india (very cheap labor) and it has like 2 small PCBs and 1 speaker and only 37 keys... the F30 costs $50 but they nerfed it so that it wont canibalize sales from the a50 by removing the midi usb function (they have the same exact pcb but 1 10 cent chip is absent which allows the midi function... ) For 100 bucks it better should have rechargeable solid state battery and be like 54 or 61 keys loll (and obviously all the other specs the same not nerfed/worse including the slim body)

[@NFS-shade]

The 1st like

[@BoneZone]

Amazing

[@paulojose9694]

its not a synth and its very terrible to play with this small keys

[@kelvinsmith6854]

There's always one knob head

[@marceloalejandrovarela6131]

bad review
