Yamaha PSR-500 Keyboard Part 1/3

[@Robin_S78]

I bought this new back in the days and after so many years (and many Tyrosses/Genos en Motifs later) I still LOVE this keyboard. So simple and intuitive!

[@KeyboardKrazy49]

Thanks for your comment! I think this keyboard is better than most of the entry level yamaha keyboards of today, the keyboard that was released about 2 years after this one is the PSR-510 which I also got but I still think the PSR-500 is better and I agree with you, this keyboard has better features than the entry level keyboards of today and it is more fun to use, if I didnt have this keyboard and I had a choice between this one and a later model, I would definitely go for the PSR-500!

[@synthworxswx8709]

I loved this keyboard sold it 21 years ago and just found one a week ago for sale 75 bucks used and bought it. Man I really missed this keyboard all those years now I am banging out those 90s sounding Jam Hammer hits again lol Cheers mate

[@gabrielirlanda]

My first Keyboard, it was very ahead from other keyboards in those times, sequencer included!! WOW!

[@avva3802]

Thanks! I like to watch real time composing especially on old keyboards

[@sedion]

Why is this video the most viewed one of the entire channel

[@KeyboardKrazy49]

Because this is a very old video, over 13 years old and this keyboard must have been popular back in its day

[@sedion]

@@KeyboardKrazy49 mmmh maybe, it's nice to see that you are still answering to the comments of this video 🤣

[@KeyboardKrazy49]

@@sedion I do my best to reply to as many comments as I can whether it’s from a recently uploaded video, or a video I have uploaded over 10 years ago like this one

[@BARRATA]

I still have my good old Yamaha PSR-600 is the same as the PSR-500 but was bringing mainstream a floppy disk drive ... (half of the people reading this will have no idea that is a floppy disk drive)

[@lastbornkahuika8216]

Price and is it available

[@BARRATA]

​@@lastbornkahuika8216 My keyboard is no longer available in stores for many years and mine would not sell it, because it is worth very little and sentimentally worth more.

[@amandelli2293]

I owned so many keyboards with Floppy Drives 😀💾

[@Strap1205]

Had this for many years - was a really nice instrument (and very expensive back then!).

[@pigeonman1134]

How much was it?

[@KeyboardKrazy49]

The PSR-400/500 were released in 1991. Hope this helps :)

[@tearsinraine]

Nice series of demo videos! I love my PSR-500. It was fantastic for its time. If you're interested, I have a few old pieces posted that I made strictly using the keyboard (no outside anything). Anyways, I enjoyed your videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them.

[@agtutorsmusica5498]

i have one like that ....in 2016 !this keyboard it was released in 1991!,,im from brazil...

[@miltonparedes1909]

hi keyboard crazzy!, this is one of my keyborrasd that i have, cool nostalgia!. saludos from quito ecuador!.

[@KeyboardKrazy49]

Hello there, the PA-5 is an old adapter but if you can get one, you can still find them on ebay or the KPA-6 adapter will also work and also the newer adapter the PA-150 will also work. Hope this helps :) Kind regards Michael

[@SSoto_21]

My mom had a PSR-85 which is very similar to the PSR-500 so some of the stuff featured in these 3 videos is familiar to me.

[@Widdy5150]

Blimey mate, look how slick your videos look now! Keep up the fantastic work 😛🎹👍🏻😜

[@KeyboardKrazy49]

Hey dude! Ahh yes I like looking back at my older videos, this one is now over ten years old, I though those were great back then, but now I have much better quality videos and audio, I guess I have learned a lot watching other people’s videos over the years and putting the same quality (video and audio) on my videos, will definitely keep up my work, hope you look forward to next months keyboard showcase, the Korg M1 😉😜🎹👊🏻🎸👍

[@Widdy5150]

@@KeyboardKrazy49 I like all your videos & I don't even play keyboard 😁👍🏻🎹🎹🥳

[@KeyboardKrazy49]

Even though you don’t play keyboard, at least you still appreciate the sounds, especially the sounds from the DX7 that defined the 80s, such a brilliant synth and well sought after, I’m glad I got one over 10 years ago, and at least you have a keyboard yourself in which I believe you use the rhythms as backings for your guitar practice 🎹🎸🎹🎸👊🏻😝👌👍

[@leakesonasucs]

I miss the keyboard

[@KeyboardKrazy49]

@Penguindog55 I also have the Yamaha PSS-790 keyboard, picked one up quite cheap last year before xmas, I like the vector synth feature thats on the keyboard, I shall do a video of my PSS-790 sometime. Thanks for watching!

[@AlphanumerikRemixes]

Il love the sounds and beat !!

[@zicoskywalker]

good keyboard, ótimos recursos para um teclado para iniciantes

[@maestro300]

Owned this keyboard a long time ago-- no idea it had some LinnDrum sounding samples at 12:42!

[@jmadruga78]

Thank you man. GREAT vid. Loved the demo songs

[@JoseVieira-85]

Hello. I like you channel! I have a PSR-500. Unfortunately the volume slider knob and the battery cover are missing and it's hard to find parts for this keyboard. Regards from Portugal. 👋

[@junglejon74]

Wow, it really is interesting to see the quality difference between this and the newer videos. I still like this vid though. I love my 500 but I really wish the timing was more stable. The 4500 has perfect timing, as does the 680, whereas the 500 and (to a lesser extent) the 790 has quite wobbly timing.

[@joelguzmangg]

Ohh nice! I got one of those in 1992 and i sold it in 1998 to buy a 530. The feature i needed in the second keyboard was a 16-track sequencer that the 530 didnt have. My 500 was a great item. My bad was that i didnt took piano lessons.

[@EduardoWeidmanBarijan]

I so want to have this keyboard back. My dad used to have it, and I played a lot with it. Nowadays, I want to buy it again. A donation would be nice too. Oh, it is a great keyboard.

[@tampzbud]

If you want i have too psr 500

[@EduardoWeidmanBarijan]

@@tampzbud oh that is awesome. Yes I would like to have one. We can talk about it

[@meditativkilofon]

for long long times i have play this keyboard I remember old times

[@likolp6014]

Has it touch responsive?

[@KeyboardKrazy49]

LikoLP Hello, yes this is touch sensitive :)

[@cobb_thedrummer]

Could you explain to me how you are recording the billie jean beat? Im trying to record a drum beat to loop so i can play over the top of it. thank you! I noticed the "house beat" 'came in when you tried it the first time. i was having this problem until i noticed you hit the rhythm button? after that i cant seem to create a loop. thanks!

[@KeyboardKrazy49]

Yes the PSR-500 has the exact same voices as the PSR-400, few differences between the 2 keyboards are that the PSR-500 had a few reverb effects, it also had multi pads instead of drum pads and the PSR-500 had 4 page memories on the left hand side of the keyboard whilst the PSR-400 only had 2. Hope this helps :)

[@EmmyS247]

What voice is similar to DX Modern, or Venus EP on the PSR 500 please? I had these voices on PSR 295 but I don't seem to find anything like them on PSR 500. Thanks

[@mr.hurdur3235]

I just scores one a Yamaha PSR500 today for $100!! This is a very complicated keyboard for me :/ I was wondering if you can explain to me how you recorded a track when you played Michael Jackson?? Please, it would help me sooooo much.

[@fabricioaleixo9233]

Hey guys! Could this keyboard work as MIDI controller? Or it doesn't have this function?

[@kurucPista]

it HAS

Are this keyboard has grand piano sound?

Can someone tell me how to do the sequencing song loop he does to billy jean? i press the buttons but nothing happens what do i need to do!!!???? @KeyboardKrazy49

Cant find Plugins for this keyboard i want to use it with my pc using MIDI-USB cable is it possible?

[@LittleRichard1988]

It should be possible, the Yamaha UX-16 is a good USB midi interface.

[@Joelhormes2]

is the psr 400 or 500 from the 80's if not from wich time is it?

[@palmerpiano9884]

Nice

[@supdudecunt6404]

is that a fingerbox do you have there on?

[@bestrickie2]

Hi Mick. I received your feed back about my interest in your keyboards & whay you got a PSS470, 570 & so on. You seem to have museum of keyboards. I see you have a PSR510. I have a PSR2700 that has the exact same sound chip & backings as the 510 but the 2700 has a 7 trk record & the big plus is that it has an on board sampler WITH software included. For more detail you're welcome to get back to me as I'm selling that nice keyboard if you're interested. From Rich

[@KeyboardKrazy49]

@BioMind10 I have not used any MIDI software before so I have no idea how to do that, I'm sure it is possible but I dont know how to do it myself. Sorry but I hope someone else can help you :)

[@adromano6]

Do you know of anyone that will repair a PSR 500? Mine has been a gem all these years, and now the middle D key is not connecting right. It sounds too loud and not exactly when the key is pressed, but a bit later.

[@KeyboardKrazy49]

adromano6 I don’t really know of anyone that know how to repair keyboards but I can do a few things with keyboards such as cleaning contacts etc, it could be that the contacts need a clean and after that hopefully it will work again. Hope this helps

[@AmyLuAnne]

It's a worn out part (like felt or rubber under the key). Those parts have to be replaced. A repair person might be able to fix it, but you'd have to find someone dealing with vintage keyboards.

@@KeyboardKrazy49 crap so I'm stuck with it on permanently? I like the keyboard I had a 510 and 520 when I was growing up, I found this one for 80 bucks and It was clean for how old it is, no issues at all, but touch response kills me for some reason. Thanks though for your response.

[@AmyLuAnne]

@@mateochistoso3375 Do you hit some of the keys and they are LOUD and out of control? That would mean that there are worn out parts under those keys. A repair person (who knows vintage keyboards) could probably fix it.

[@mateochistoso3375]

No, the keys work fine, its just im not a huge fan of touch response on keyboards, piano sure, but not on a keyboard
