Yamaha PSS A50 - first look

[@alexandredevert4935]

I got one 2 days ago. I'm a beginner, practicing piano on my own ... it took me an hour of fiddling around to be able to make a track with one drum, one guitar and one synth. It's so much fun.

[@TheTyisawesome]

Damn I'm excited to try this thing out. I just ordered one a couple days ago, it's yet to arrive...

[@jamesl8053]

I recently got one to practice fingering and chords, I'm a complete novice and want to get a full size digi piano, I figured this would be a greay way to test my commitment to learning as well as offer a way to practice on the go as I have to travel regularly and fitting a full size piano isnt exactly easy. Great video and love the cards you printed, something I'd like to say for others who are interested in this, is that you can also tune the keys as well as turn off control output from the keyboard, so if you have this hooked up to a pc as a controller the sound can come through your pc output but not the keyboard speaker using just usb, I use this as a controller for some software so I found this to be useful.

Excellent video!! And thanks for making the cheat sheets!

[@CristinaTeixeiraTV]

What a nice video! Thanks so much. Enjoying this keyboard. And your cat is lovely. Thanks. :From Portugal .

[@MrKreuzQuer]

Thanks for the review and the cheat-cards. Got my A50 for 50€ (pre owned) yesterday and now am fiddling around. Comes with me on vacation next week as my personal little easter-egg. :) .... besides my uke. :)

[@Littlefootization]

Thank you for the review and the cheat sheet!!

[@davidlancaster1974]

Cool. Thank you for the cheat sheets!

[@drumtwo4seven]

Nice review Thank you for the cheat sheets 👍

[@1683clifton]

I love the cards. I think I should make one with just the set list for songs for quick looping with my rc2 or send it to the zoom r8! I prefer simple and dawless setup and some of these sounds are super dank! Be posting soon.

[@robertomordenti6336]

Thank you! 🔝

[@kdt85]

Thanks for the sheet!

[@BYRON_says]

For the benefit of the viewers: What are the details of the 3 keyboards we can see in your video, please?

[@bikeham]

Thanks for the cheat sheets!

[@jello-tarzan]

Thanks for the video! I guess we can plug it into active computer style speakers and get sound without a computer? From the phones output?

[@phooto]

Yes, no problem, use the headphone jack.

[@a2roland]

Thank you.

[@hugomoreira616]

Thanks. Several stars near your name in heaven ! rsrs

[@1683clifton]

Any of my songs that have more than one part, eother I use the rc2 looper or the r8. No puter

[@whiskymacable]

Sounds great, I'm a bass player but have a damaged wrist and this little keyboard could enable me to still play bass notes but would I be able to play it through a PA?.

[@phooto]

Yes of course. There’s octave control, and the headphone output could be used through a PA.

[@TheTyisawesome]

Mind sharing those perfect little A50 cheat sheets you had?? Very good idea

[@TheTyisawesome]

Found them on your site, thanks!!!

Hola, recomendarías alguna aplicación como controlador midi para celular Android gratis. Por favor

[@chrismengos8379]

Hello and thank you for the review and cheat sheets. Can a50 work as a sound module through usb-midi to control the a 50 sounds from another controller? Thanks

[@phooto]

Yes, you can drive it as an instrument.

[@jjacob25101]

I have a PSS-A50, JD-Xi, black CT-S1 and an original Go:Keys. I will probably get the new Go:Keys 5, maybe a Casio CT-S500, and later an RD-08 and Yamaha CK61, which is essentially a full size 61 key Reface series keyboard in one and a lot more.

[@phooto]

I have a 80's Yamaha organ which is huge fun and now a Roland Fantom-06 as my main studio and stage keyboard.

[@elistvan]

Dear Simon! I have also a pss-a50. Did you notice that if you use it in sensitivity 1-2 or 3 some sounds are louder than others? And you have to press very much the buttons to her the sound of the isntrument. If you switch off the sensitivity it works fine. Does anyone lese have the same problem?

[@phooto]

I've never changed the sensitivity myself. But, I wouldn't expect it to be like a top-flight MIDI keyboard I guess.

[@toni2606]

Would it make sense for a beginner to buy this if I already own the yamaha pss f30?

[@phooto]

I think it would depend on what you are looking for as a step up. A few more sounds are the main thing you’ll get. You might be better to look at something with full size keys, as they are easier for playing chords. More money, but might be better for you. Casio have some great options with full size keys.

[@1683clifton]

I got mine for 75 usd! Let's see how goes Wednesday!😂🎹🔥

[@1683clifton]

High five and a shake?! How the heck did you ever get a at to do that?😂

[@phooto]

I now have our other cat shaking hands. Just training. I'm a secret cat whisperer.

[@1683clifton]

impossible. 😊

[@phooto]

@@1683clifton I thought so, too. But, it's happened.

[@인독서]

Piano sound not bad?

[@phooto]

It's very good, especially for that price.

[@jjacob25101]

​@@phootoI agree. For the price, very decent. Don't expect top tier quality, but years ago, much more expensive keyboards were the same. So for the price and portability and that you can use this as a controller keyboard for a DAW is awesome, too. You just need a micro USB to whatever USB cable to what is equipped on your other device.

[@1683clifton]

New sub. Cheers

[@Elazarko]

Worth $100 ?

[@phooto]

Easily.

[@hanlinhanlin1811]

More Play song with pss a50.
