[@haribehappy3487]

Hi Jeremy, I have been viewing videos to learn about buying a keyboard (electric piano vs electric keyboard) for my children. I watched a few (nonsense) videos and finally clicked on yours. You're straight to the point, no beating around the bush and very easy to understand by someone who has no knowledge about them. When watching your video, it is apparent that you are a very knowledgeable person. Thanks and greatly appreciate your video!

[@zian3694]

I am not a pro in playing, not just a begginer, I recognise sounds, I can play a song after giving it some tries, I can find out chords in less than half an hour. I also own a music studio. What do you suggest? a digital piano, or a keyboard?

[@NewBeginnings1000]

I just want to thank you for your knowledge and efforts to bring things right to beginners.

[@cesar_m.p.]

When I was a teenage, I bought my self a keyboard with money earned from little jobs and Christmas gifts from uncles and grandpa's. It was very very entry level in which I could barely practice, not full size keys, not full size keybed, etc, etc.... I think not even key sensitive lol. Later to college, later to a full time job, married, then kids, then raise the kids, etc..... I had to wait to be middle 40's to afford a good piano. So, please, don't call what your parents did "a mistake". They did it with their heart, and if they had the money to spent on you, good for them.... and therefore, good for you. 🤗

[@GThinks]

Who else here is also planning to invest their stay-at-home time in learning how to play the piano XD by the way you're doing a fantastic job Jeremy! I'm going to upgrade my super old PSR-172 to PSR-E363 after watching your videos.

[@arcanics1971]

An extra reason for workstations continuing to exist: a musician/producer can create something at home or wherever they are and not have to worry about it being compatible with whatever DAW or systems used at the next studio they work with; they can work in a hotel room without worrying about internet connection etc.

[@ronnyb5890]

each instrument has its own purpose,PA keyboards have almost everything on board,digital piano's are,you guessed it,good for pianos,synthesisers for sound design,and keyboard midi controllers for controlling VSTI's,so,every instrument has its place

Dear Jeremy, thank you for always doing your best to bring everyone your expert opinion to the public. The modern keyboard instrument buying public is a vast target at best. I trust your objectivity and appreciate how you leave the decisions up to us ultimately. God bless you in all you do. You’re a real hero to me!

[@isurucumaranathunga]

Superb video Jeremy, Last month I searched many places to just find the differences of these types of keyboards but non of the sources gave this much of knowledge in an easy way to understand. Again thanks so much.

[@hermask815]

Synthesizers come in 2 flavors: for sound design : many knobs , mostly 37 (seldom 49) keys perhaps mini-keys for performing : fewer knobs , 61 or more keys of standard size.

[@abhraneeloak2399]

9:30 You are saying that a synthesizer has 4 basic waveforms (Sine, Square, Sawtooth, Triangle). The latter 3 waveforms have been derived only from a Sine wave using FM (Frequency Modulated) synthesis. The best (and the most important) example was the Yamaha DX7 in the 1980's followed by other Yamaha DX/TX/SY series of synthesizers

[@abhraneeloak2399]

What is your opinion on the 1980s Yamaha DX/TX/SY vs Yamaha Montage's and the MODX's FM-X technology?

[@ChristianKoehler77]

One could easily make not just a video, but an entire series of videos about synthesizers. Subtractive, additive, FM, wavetable, various hybrid approaches,... Analog, digital, virtual analog, modular, software based. Special purpose synthesizers (string machines, synth bass, drum synthesizers,...). It's an entire universe on its own.

[@cavoneant]

Thank you so much for answering my question. You put a lot of work into this channel and it shows. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

[@JeremySee]

Thanks buddy.

[@eldreddsouza9813]

Hey Jeremy, I’m interested in learning music production, so would like to know if I could use my Arranger as a midi controller or should I buy a separate midi keyboard. Are there any significant advantages of a midi keyboard?

[@anthonytrivisonnojr]

It really depends on what your situation is. Most keyboards now have MIDI capabilities so find the keyboard that would suit you the best. :)

[@markw6136]

Jeremy, always appreciate your explanations! Super clear and to the point. I purchased a Kurzweil Sp6 a month ago and ended up returning the instrument. The keys were very heavy, too heavy. Otherwise I loved the Kurzweil ease of use and sounds. I'm having trouble deciding which way to go next.

[@BJ-fj6jw]

Great introduction to keyboards and midi to the non- keyboardist and non- midi!!!

[@speedunknown]

The thing I search for in an arranger keyboard is to be able to edit music rhythms with minimal effort. (It’s not a huge deal, but I like to break things down sometimes). The menu diving kinda sucks for me because of my eyesight is not 100%. The new Yamaha keyboard PSRSX series have a huge color screen and controls to navigate best with, but it’s all matter of opinion my friend. I would advise users to be aware of return policies, and to use them, initial they find the arranger they love. There are just so many great ones out there! Thanks Jimmy, you’re the best!

[@speedunknown]

Until = initially

[@ulfrinn8783]

I have an 88 key digital grand piano. It cost $500 and it's great to play on... when I have the space to set it up which with as much as I've been moving around, I certainly haven't had the space to do. So I haven't played in years for that reason. I've been trying to find something small enough and light enough that I can set beside my desk when not using, and use it on top of my computer desk. I may just get a 61 key midi controller.

[@Dannytyrellstudios]

Good discussion

[@harkerroland9750]

I agree with you, why strugling with limited polyphony, track sequencer, and memory? But sonetimes... i mean workstation synthesizer is more fast setup, more portability, and more powerfull output sound compare to the soft keyboard.... and yes nowdays people coming backto use analogue synth than a digital synth.. And in my opinion, piano upright was the best compare to all keyboard, free electricity, free output source, real wood touch feeling but lack of maintenaince the other electric instrument are just free tune maintain...

Great video Jeremy! Can you make a video on how to set your midi controller to play a performance live?

[@vizeath]

That's why I chose digital piano which seems to focus only on piano sound... I don't need any other sounds... But well, the digital piano that I got of course got several "other sounds" just for playing around. But they're mostly just sounds that are still "related" like acoustic guitar, violin or viola, I honestly have no idea about these things. The piano itself got 2 versions, grand piano and bright piano... Well I don't hate the "other sounds" built into it as sometimes it's fun to play with violin ... But still, I prefer the look of a digital piano...

I buy the alesis v25 because I want to get into music more and it has a beat pad on it so I can make some sick beats what do you think?

[@thephilosopher5799]

Yeah that’s a midi keyboard. Good choice for your intro to music but you make a very simple song because of the low key number but If you don’t care about that then you’re all good. I would go with the v61 with the drum pads for making actual songs with piano instead of the most basic of chords due to limited keys.

[@j-is-meas-you-see3210]

Great video!! Thanks for all the knowledge you provide!

[@bryangl1]

A worthwhile video with clear explanations.One point about digital pianos (which you possibly chose to avoid and to stick to the basics) with console digital pianos,the design can contribute to the quality of the sound. Some digital grand pianos actively use the soundboard for much the same purpose as an acoustic piano, whereas a small upright digital piano usually doesn't (or cannot) use an equivalent design approach as a grand console. I recall Yamaha releasing an upright ('spinet' size) piano with a specially designed soundboard on the back.

[@JeremySee]

Thanks for elaborating Bryan. I have a special interest in the Yamaha TransAcoustic Hybrids which uses transducer technology to amplify electrical sound frequencies using the soundboard of a traditional acoustic body. Generally though, for portable compact digital pianos and the usual Yamaha CLP Clavinovna, the console don't really do very much difference. Hope you are guys are coping well over where you are, buddy.

[@bryangl1]

@@JeremySee Yes, I've read about the hybrid model(s) but not seen or heard one. Out of my price range anyway, I'm happy with the CVP695GP! As for keeping well, we're on the downward curve (unless constraints get lifted too early) whereas Singapore is now heading in the wrong direction. I'm just hoping the virus mutates into a harmless variant - probably a vain hope so continue to be careful !

[@angrypepecancer5205]

Thanks man, you've help me allot in buying some keyboard and knowledge

[@bobbydhuths1059]

Thanks for the video sir!❤️

[@WarrenPostma]

What a great idea for a video. This is something that I feel people do not understand well before making a purchase. I absolutely LOVE my acoustic grand piano. Nothing can ever reach its sound. But some of the workstation keyboards sound absolutely fantastic. Future video idea; Best PC VST software piano sounds, review. The least expensive keyboards, plus a USB midi connection and a PC, you can sound like a professional. I disagree about parents and spending money. A good hammer action doesn't come cheap and is important for early muscle memory development in children. Spend enough to get a good hammer action, even if it's a controller only like the M-Audio hammer 88. Unweighted keyboards are a terrible way to start a person off who may want to be able to play real acoustic pianos one day. A good weighted keyboard will be a good muscle memory building base.

[@snooker9773]

The key hammering feel is only crucial to accoustic pianist. Not everyone aims at being an acoustic pianist. There are a lot more that a keyboardist can explore and do in the music career than a pianist, which is a lot more fun in my opinion.

[@sglynn]

Thanks for your work on these great vids. Help which keyboard for stage use. Good piano, organ and pad sounds that can layer 4 sounds on volume sliders and define in presets. No editing of sound. I’ve reading and studying but the answer is not popping out.

My parents did the same for me... They got me a $5,000 workstation/keyboard when I started showing promise... NOT ONLY THAT-it was some brand I had never heard of and the company ended up going belly up... I ****literally***** never left the home screen for over a year... Recorded one song on it once (6-track, canon in D) which took me over 4 hours, and I didnt save it I guess. It was gone the next time I turned it on (to be fair, it probably wasnt gone. The owners manual that it came with was literally a 3" 3 ring binder).

Hi Jeremy, Ive been trying to setup my Yamaha psr 957 to my daw and just use general midi. It seems as though Im stuck with the keyboard channel assignment. Do you know if a workstation can be used with general midi. Doesnt seem like I should be limited to just arranger mode when in a daw. The manual does not explain anything about a simple setup to use midi on computer with this board .I dont want to assign a bunch of different buttons because of channel restrictions. Any thoughts.???
