'Everybody Wants To Rule The World' on affordable keyboard

LOL that's funny because I didn't know there was a song named that, so basically this is my reason LMAO

Honestly had no idea my keyboard could do all of these things, figured they could, but never decided to look. Thanks for being apart of KZbin’s weird algorithm lol

[@Samlol23_drrich]

This is like tiger woods playing golf with a set of beginner Wilson golf clubs. Think he would suck? Or still shoot par? It ain’t the instrument, it’s the musician. You, sir are an awesome musician.

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

"It ain't the instrument; it's the musician..." that... _what?_ If you were going to say "matters," then yes, the instrument matters too, actually. That should be obvious.

[@Samlol23_drrich]

@@HelloKittyFanMan. that matters the most.

[@kaoe145]

samlol23 no it doesn’t if you put a top quality instrument in the hands of a novice vs a crap instrument in the hands of a professional guess who will sound better

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

@@kaoe145, it can overlap, actually. It really depends on how bad or good the instrument is vs. how bad or good the musician is.

[@Samlol23_drrich]

@@kaoe145 the crap instrument in the hands of professional would sound better

[@synthguy7774]

You can make any instrument sound good if you have great musicality.

[@urbanumbra6170]

SynthGuy777 there’s a limit to that, reason why you don’t see people making genuine music with meowsics

[@SpeedySPCFan]

Amazing how much life is still left in those old Yamaha XG and XGlite tones they put in these keyboards. I reviewed one of the old 90s synths that had a lot of these same sounds (the Yamaha MU series) and was impressed still by how good they sound! Great video as always ^^

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

THank you

[@tjfSIM]

Wow, I’ve had one of these for 10 years and never realised it could do all this. Will have to dig it out and have a play.

[@barilochebarracuda846]

fantastic! I love this idea of reminding us the fun we can have on a low budget. A lot of people can't afford top synths and most of us just started with one cheap keyboard. thanks Paolo!

[@andinbriwel1092]

You can make a video playing piece of music each day on just this instrument and I’d watch every video. It’s very inspiring.

[@TheMICMusicInspirationChannel]

But you gotta figure out how to hit the "fill-in" button real fast about every 8 bars in order to cop the song's occasional drum lick.

[@jameswenk7294]

I think I'm going to buy a Yamaha YPT360 and see if I can play this. My friends jam together with their guitars, but this could add a little something. It just takes me weeks to learn the songs (I've tried harmonica), but now I have all this extra time on my hands. Thanks for dumbing it down for me. You should make more videos like this for the beginner.

[@halphillips1775]

Man, how cool is this?!?! Great job! I have a PSR-423 and can't wait to try it!

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

That doesn't make sense, because if you have it at home, then the answer would be YES, not no. "Yes, we already do have it at home."

[@goldcoastj]

You make it so easy to learn. Thanks and look after yourself. Your special.

[@ghoppr71]

Thank you so much for taking the time and discussing each and every voice and patch that you used, as well as how to set them up. A lot of people that get on KZbin for these demonstrations do not do this. It sounds pretty close.

[@caligastiainfernus3877]

Dude, this sounds legit! Sounds great for an affordable keyboard.

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

It does!

[@arnavsawhney]

The bass really lit up the whole song! I am astonished you squeezed so much out of a puny keyboard!

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Thank you, Arnav

[@80s-wizard34]

I could listen to you play that forever... that song is 80s iconic... 🤩😎👍🏽

[@percussionboy4357]

Thanks for that. As a young musician, I could never figure the vamp out ... because of the D pedal in the bass, I somehow thought the right hand voicings (G to A) must be something more complicated....take care...

[@MachineThatCreates]

I own an E403 (excellent keyboard) but a few years later Yamaha bought out the E453 which is an amazing machine. A few subtle synth effects but the range of beats and voices are it's main feature. Brilliant for song writing and on_stage performance.

[@mc12358]

Wow, it's very surreal watching Paolo playing a synth that looks almost exactly like the one we have in our upstairs loft (also a PSR series, just a slightly lower number). And yes it's affordable (unless you're useless and unemployed like me hahaha) but it's also a great practice keyboard if you're not trying to do anything too fancy. Some of the patches actually sound really nice.

[@edwardmonkii1828]

my first keyboard is an earlier variation on these series a decade ago. here is Seattle things are a rollercoaster, but im survivin. practicing music and art help keep a proactive functional attitude to counter a lot of the fear and gloom going around right now. to be of service and appreciate those we care for is redeeming. keep yer head up Bud, and keep sharing your wisdom! (p.s. i'm thinkin about gettin the korg wave state)

[@StalwartTirith]

Honestly expected some kind of meme video, and instead it's just a very informative, well made, and interesting video. Awesome work!

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Glad you liked it!

[@andrewscott1253]

With that same keyboard make a multi-track recording and do all the overdubs for all the other sounds in the song. Maybe run the chords though a chorus or something. It was a great video.

[@queenpurple8433]

That’s what I expected to see when I saw the title lol

[@LEBOSH1ER]

This is an excellent concept Paulo. Would love to see you make more of these. Hope you and your family are healthy and well

[@jackspencer907]

Great tutorial! And good sound combo 👍 I started learning keys on a 403 and owned one for many years, still working good when I handed it on to a friend last year. Some great features and reasonably good sounds for a fairly low-cost board. Stay safe and keep them coming 👍

[@leonardoflorentin]

I have that same keyboard and I can't put into words the amount of joy the bastard has given me.

[@nimazsheik5152]

Yeah, it's pretty uncanny how this video came in my suggested videos because I have the exact keyboard

[@shadowhenge7118]

I think this is how almost all generic karaoke tunes are made. Very cool, actually.

[@MaxThompsonMusic]

I have a PSR-295, which was the older version of the E-403 (2004 for mine). That GM/XGlite bank is a treasure trove of sounds that aren’t terrible and fill out the sound selection nicely. Also gigged with a YPG-235 (basically the same thing in 76 keys, a few new sounds, and a pitch wheel). I depended on the GM pad, synth and string sounds for in the church band. They weren’t actually too bad in a mix. DX+Analg was a standby for backing the acoustic piano sometimes. The cheap Yamahas actually can be pretty flexible in certain regards if you can work with the overall sound and aren’t doing tons of parts.

[@ricomajestic]

[@DragonGrafx-16]

I had this very keyboard in 2007... it wasn't too bad really... it was nice that it actually had some synth controls! Especially a resonant lowpass filter. Yeah it wasn't very good but it was better than nothing. Now I have a bunch of synths but this started it.

[@adabofeverything7120]

This was my first keyboard i ever owned in my life! It was the first instrument i ever learned in general in my life, in the middle 2000s and now today, i play 12 instruments and run the theatrical music project PHYSICAL EMOTION. This exact keyboard started my ENTIRE music career! So yes. This video made my whole week! I still have this keyboard to this day, nearly 20 years later! Only half of the keys work on it, but i still use it every now and then!

[@IrrationalExuberance]

Some of the most fun you can have is with some old budget fixed-preset FM / PD keyboard. Had a roommate one time who had something like a Casio PT-1 or something like that and it was cool to mess around with it... I had access to modern VSTs and the little PT-1 was still more fun in some ways.

[@Xenthera]

Aw... this was the keyboard I had growing up... I learned how to play some of my favorite songs on it... Since then I've upgraded to a grand piano... but i'll never forget my roots.

[@russellamoore7756]

Great job in breaking the parts down. Fun stuff...

[@gasolineandwine]

Paolo! Just a suggestion: In those two repeating chords at the beggining, adding the F# to the E-A-C# really adds to get the original sound.

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Sure - you can add any embellishment you want, like the F# on the first chord, but the original doesn't have it.
