Kawai FS-800 Superboard in-depth demo of sounds and features.

[@DuncanNairn]

Thanks, man. My mum (mom) gave me one in 1995 and yours is the most thorough review I've seen.

[@marsupial3ew]

Hey thanks to this review - very thorough! Cheers!

[@snare1156]

I just got one of these and I love it so much

[@andresitoch.]

Hi , I also have one but I think it was deprogrammed or something similar. All the lights are on and it doesn't play any sound

[@KlausBahnhof]

Haha, thanks this was highly entertaining. Helped me decide not to pick one up. Although those layered drum edit sounds were very tempting. Nice video!

[@graphene1487]

thanks for the vid. I'm sold

[@sssyntax]

Excellent video man!

[@paulj0557tonehead]

Wow, 25 year old sounds, but they sound EXACTLY like they did then. I rag digital, but the 80's soundtrack music was awesome using sounds like at 9:00, dig it! Hopefully picking up a 1984 digital/analog Kawai x330 today. As an organ player and tone head for 36 years now ( 20 guitar and 16+ organ) I prefer great analog tone generation. FM began the 'that sucks' era of the 80's. I am currently working with MEMS technology for tone generation by using electromagnetism and digital control, AND discrete analog components. Only analog can interact:) 12:00 LOL

[@4e4ehehe]

was going to use Sample Robot to make a soundfont, but never took the time to do it. Great review!!

[@musk771]

The passage at 11:40 comes straight off the DM album "Speak and Spell". Awesome

[@coolelectronics1759]

can it do d50 type synthesis? It sounds like you could take a sample and use it as partials that are in its rom and then there is the synthesizer

[@djilyaz]

No...d50 is deeper

[@kowahara]

It was trying to help you play Howard Jones' 'New Song' from 12:10 to 12:13. What an awesome set of keys.

[@GameOnSportsHub468]

How can you make a regular piano?

[@desreb740]

Nice., Primitive, and Fun.

[@djilyaz]

Thanks, that feature didn't really appeal to me, you hit one key and it plays a canned riff, each key in the ad-lib keys plays a different riff, kinda fun, very similar to an arpeggiator. It's not going to fool anyone into thinking you are Herbie Hancock..lol. Thanks for watching.

[@andresitoch.]

I also have one, I'm trying to fix it, I think it's deprogrammed, don't you have backup files for SysEx?

[@blazer_nation7718]

My grandma gave me her used FS800. Trying to figure it out lol

[@4e4ehehe]

as a controller, yESSSSS!! the drum pads are assignable to any note. Found one by the trash, been 3yrs. :: still going

[@desreb740]

Love mine. As a controller, it's nicer.

[@NLind]

I do believe Nintendo used that strings sample in the original StarFox game. (and SF2).

[@djilyaz]

$25...was too cheap to pass up, I wasn't particularly looking for one. Fun keyboard, but I have since given it away.

[@kaarla8205]

Hello! I would like to know how to put rhythms in turquoise only put those of Navy

[@djilyaz]

I love Benny Hill! RIP. The old bald guy was the man.

[@RobertoGinsburg]

At 6:20 n 6:36 *synth bass* sounds, cool.

[@Jorge_Organero1684]

Does this keyboard have a disk drive?

[@sterling2233]

Haha, you're right, you did -- and so abominably that I didn't recognize it. Apparently you had never spent much time learning this feature. It's okay, most of your demo was very good. Too bad Kawai didn't go further with that keyboard so you could Midi in some higher quality sounds. Anyway, thanks for the cool demo.

[@audiofamily5745]

I’m thinking of sale mine how much should i sell mine

[@synthyjohn55]

Hi there this must have competed with the Yamaha PSR 4600 FM DX7 like:)

[@HAZFRAME]

Was curious...how much did you drop on it?

[@djilyaz]

At 11:32 I went through that feature.

[@Cubeyvods]

I have one of these

[@bernardnickerson3170]

I have a FS2000 KAWAI keyboard.....looking for the ability to hook into an amp.

[@bernardnickerson3170]

As I recall it had two (2) male plugs that plug into the back of the keyboard (different colours i.e. white and red) which end up with (1) black plug allowing a cable to be plugged in and then into an amp. Bernard A Nickerson on fb or [e-mail]

[@marciorosebud]

The fs2000 is different to the fs800 ? More features, more sounds?

[@sterling2233]

Too bad you don't still have the keyboard. You not only can "play" each of a dozen or more riffs, but you can also CREATE your own riffs and store them. AND when you play a riff and then change the chording two or three times, then switch to a different riff -- you *could* sound very much like, uh,... Herbie?

[@billyboy5084]

Don't be a d!ck

[@hiphopblues]

Thanks for the run through, can it be used as a midi keyboard controller, as well? Let me know, I have my eye on it from CL too. Peter

[@romansheffield2354]

have you found out if you can yet? i've been looking everywhere and can't find out

[@muzzamilabdalla311]

Yes ,it has mid in and mid out, I have a brand new one for sale with the box

[@SquareWeirdo]

Kawai ? Kawai not !!! I just click buy it on Kawai FS2000 because of Your video, thanx

[@alisonlovell9284]

13:46 he plays megalovania

[@d4t4b4s3f4c3]

just traded my minimoog for one

[@djilyaz]

Minimoogs are a dime a dozen now.

[@danielortizdecaracas]

Jajajaj😂 kawai madness

[@billyboy5084]

10:48 - pr0n ;-)

[@crankyboiy]

I have the fs730 lol

[@PedroBoss007]

yea right yamaha dx lol

[@SPAZZOID100]

$35

[@djilyaz]

James Reeno hey bro, I gave it away years ago...

[@francishetharia6557]

medieval piece lol...

[@sterling2233]

What, all that razzmatazz and we didn't even get to hear its main feature, the one-key playing? It can make a chimpanzee sound like a pro jazz artist... and no other keyboard'll do it! How could you overlook that?

[@coolelectronics1759]

imagine keyboard cat on this machine
