Yamaha MX49 / MX61 / MX88 Pianos and Electric Pianos Test (Rhodes, Wurlitzer, Clavinet, CP80)

[@deejuicemailbox]

I had a MX49 a few years ago, but by now I forgot that it sounds so well. 👍🎹

[@ALEJANDROTOIW]

Muy buen vídeo, me deja muy buena impresión de los sonidos, tocando leitmotif de temas conocidos. Muchas gracias Jaime. Dese Buenos Aires Argentina ❤

[@dustinscott5628]

Great taste in music! This selection of songs was fantastic, thanks for doing this.

[@arnelmendoza2408]

Love the music demoed in here. Our church got one of these but the kids didn't immediately appreciate those sounds until i used them on selected songs. Now the MX is quite a "star" :)

[@WallyPeterson]

Awesome! Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for to compare the sounds on the Yamaha Reface CP with the equivalents on the MX 49. Much appreciated!

[@WallyPeterson]

Just bought one! (49). Would you mind sharing which presets you used for each, or your adjustments to get each sound?

[@jaimemkii]

Hi! I just saw this, I did not use any presets, just the factory sounds :)

[@devyse_514]

Awesome video. Thanks for showing how to create those tones. I know it’s been a while but if possible I’d love to see what other songs that you have been able to make with this keyboard.

[@Enjoy_This]

Love it!! Great playing mate 😄

[@PianoMan-hx3ev]

The “I Can Read Your Mind” by Alan Parsons gave me pure chills.

[@Jupter964]

Hi, compliments for the video. Vich are the number in the list of the sounds of rodhes and fender? Thank you

[@johnsilva5020]

I've been looking for those patch numbers myself as obviously Yamaha cannot name those patches as Wurlitzer or Fender Rhodes. Suitcase pianos are not giving me those tones/sounds

[@Jupter964]

@@johnsilva5020 Thank's

Awesome!

Thanks...

[@System8127]

Great songs! does it have samples or wavetable based? TIA

[@heroknaderi]

Good job 👍 I also love the cute size of the keyboard 🎹 it makes it very portable. I have the same keyboard too😎😁😁

[@Keyboardman88]

I have a MX88 that's my main keyboard, but I also have the MX49 for lead work and fills. Great flutes, saxes, etc. The soprano sax is dead on for Ronnie Laws version of People make the World Go Round.

[@logipilot]

imagine you could take an mx49 and travel back in time! The 80s would call: "burn the witch" ;)

[@BladeJones]

Does the Yamaha MX61 have a honky tonk piano patch? I guess you could just add lots of chorusing. But does the MX61 even allow you to saturate effects?

[@wladitenorsax1448]

Hi mate. Does anyone know how to adjust the factory vibrato, which brings out the Transverse Flute sound of the Yamaha MX? I have moved several parameters but nothing happens. Greetings

[@Jack-fs2im]

thanx

[@jasonrhensius4733]

Any chance of a demo of the nearest sound you've got to the DX7 electric piano? I can't find any examples of that on KZbin for the MX88. Thanks

[@Keyboardman88]

I own a MX88 and there are a couple of really nice DX7 sounds.

[@servus7650]

1:35 What is the name of this song?

[@jaimemkii]

Hi! "The great pumpkin waltz"

[@danielcano7012]

Cómo hiciste para que el sonido de Grand Piano sonara con graves igual al CF de concierto de Yamaha digital ? A mi me suena como un PSR

[@jaimemkii]

Hola! pues no hice realmente nada "extra". Todos los sonidos están sin modificar. Lo único es que estoy sacando el sonido por estéreo y ese piano en particular, si lo sacas como mono, no suena bien. No sé si ese será el problema que tienes. Intenta sacarlo por estéreo. O si no, te recomiendo usar el que se llama "mono grand" (o algo así). Ese está optimizado para salir solo por L

[@danielcano7012]

Gracias por contestar, haré lo que me recomiendas, por cierto excelente video 👍🏻👍🏻

[@jaimemkii]

@@danielcano7012 Muchas gracias!! me cuentas como te fue!

[@ceciliabecerrilgomez4526]

Que bonitas manos

[@dylaniris]

Thanks for the demo! Is this capable of producing a '60s Farfisa sound?

[@nousche]

Hello, is it possible to put a USB stick with WAV files and play them on this keyboard? Great demo by the way

[@mwong987]

How did you get the Rhodes sound on this piano? Does it come with the piano or did you install it seperately?

[@bruceville_phd5523]

What aprticular patch of rhodes you use?

[@ryanrice]

I can't stop listening to the Pumpkin Waltz on here! So good! Speaking of, what voice is that exactly? I know it's the CP80, but it sounds so good...

[@jaimemkii]

Ryan Rice thank you very much!! The voice is “CP 2007”

[@ryanrice]

@@jaimemkii I'll have to try that voice tonight on the MX. Appreciate it greatly!

Comment faire pour avoir un piano comme ça

[@jadermusic1]

Hola, cuales son los nombres de los sonidos y en que listas están en el tecla mx 61?

[@AdrianBlackfire74]

Can you remove this tinny bell like sound from Rhodes using synthesis parameters?

[@churchofthesacreddrift3663]

Muito bom.

[@josemariacondecarmona1183]

Number of Road?

[@srvtsk]

Hello, and thanks for the video! Could you please answer which voice of MX you considered as Rhodes - as I know, there is no voice called exactly Rhodes there. Thank you in advance!

[@jaimemkii]

Hey! "Soft Case" is my favorite Rhodes voice on the MX

[@tubalublyudaak5736]

Are these built in sounds?

[@josemariacondecarmona1183]

Number of rhodes?

[@marghe0968]

Awesome! Are these sounds presets of the MX88? They can be found on the Modx8 as well?

[@Ambientnauts]

I double this request both have VCM - any MODX8 owners out there?

[@ElLanzeh]

Hola Jaime! Tengo un Yamaha P115, soy pianista profesional y tengo este modelo para directos. He visto el MX61 y el sonido es una maravilla, pero no sé si tiene mucha diferencia con el mío, y además pierdo muchas teclas, que como pianista profesional me hacen falta las 88. El MX88 se me va de presupuesto. No sé si merece la pena uno de 61 con ese sonido tan bueno... Qué me podrías aconsejar? Gracias. Buen vídeo!

[@jaimemkii]

hola! pues el mx61 está bastante bien, esos 3 modelos son lo mismo, solo varía el número de teclas pero pues cuando yo quiero tocar una pieza de piano, obviamente faltan las teclas. Incluso cuando son 61 teclas, no hay como tener las 88 o por lo menos 73. He visto varios mx88 usados a muy buen precio, de hecho estoy pensando en vender este y comprarme uno. Si te puedes comprar el mx88 estaría buenísimo, si no. Claro que te recomiendo el mx61. Saludos!

[@ElLanzeh]

@@jaimemkii Jaime, muchísimas gracias por tu respuesta!!!!! La vi hace 5 meses y se me olvidó contestarte, y aquí estoy nuevamente valorando mi decisión de compra. ¿Qué hiciste tú al final? Un abrazo!!

[@jaimemkii]

@@ElLanzeh Hola! pues yo tengo el MX49, hubiese querido uno mas grande, yo quiero el 88 pero este estaba en oferta y me decidí por este, pero para lo que lo uso, que en general son presentaciones de rock, me funciona bastante bien. Saludos!!

Amigo como estas, yo acabo de adquirir el mx61 bu, pero no encuentro los rhodes que tocas aquí, los bajaste de algún lado? Saludos amigo

Would yamaha mx61 be good for someone who has no previous music experience?

I think if you are going to begin with music studies, you always need a good instrument. So.. yes!

@@jaimemkii ok thank you very much! I'm going to but it next week. I saw your post, and hope that you'll get better soon.

[@SantiagoGirardini]

Are these sounds created by you?

[@jaimemkii]

no my friend, all of them are factory presets

[@rodneylee4026]

This is a nice little keyboard, wish there was a 73 key version.

[@Keyboardman88]

I have the MX88 - 88 note with weighted action. Not too bad of a keyboard and weighs just a tad over 30#.

[@ElLanzeh]

@@Keyboardman88 omg I would like to have a MX88. But its too expensive in Thomann, almost 1000€. It's a month working 8 hours every day here in Spain. May be I'm going to buy it. Now I have a P115 and I thought to buy a Roland FP-30 but the one I would like to have is MX88. Do you recommend it or another one cheaper?

[@OttosTheName]

@@ElLanzeh If you just want Rhodes, Wurli, Clavi you could get the FP-30 for €555, and maybe a TC Electronic M350 for all the FX for €159 (you also need a headphone amp HA400 is €20) and then your done for around €750. Rolands have fantastic keys, Yamaha MX does have way more sounds and drums and some other features. But I think the Roland sounds better.

[@manningcustom]

are the sounds the same in all 3 models? Just the size difference?

[@jaimemkii]

Are the same sounds!

[@officialWWM]

As a learner, I sometimes get discouraged watching videos like this. I don't think I'll ever be able to play that well :/

[@jaimemkii]

You will, just keep on practicing bro!

[@officialWWM]

Jaime Amílcar thanks man. I started on Jan 1 this year and practice at least an hour every day, sometimes 2. I can play about 4 songs but they are pretty basic but I'd love to be able to do play like you.
