[@rohitmehta7666]

Woah! You need to make a full tutorial on this! Super impressive!

[@Juliaflo]

I am considering adding this to my "possibilities" list. I have done extensive reading and research on both the 49 and 88 key models, and while I admire the 88-key model, I am learning towards the 49-key model because it has an octave selection feature, unlike the 88-key. Thank you.

Happy Holidays Jeremy. Hope you are doing well. I love your videos. I was wondering from your massive keyboard experience, is there a keyboard with a mic input that records vocals and at least 16 tracks? And possibly allows you to sample and edit the vocals? What is the lowest price keyboard with those capabilitilies that you can think of? Thanks, Appreciate your insight

Hello Mr Jeremy, I have been interested in learning how to play keyboard but i still don't know which keyboard to buy . I have no experience with which one is the best and i need your help or advice to which one to buy. If you read this thanks for your time

[@dwsel]

Please review Artesia MA-88 keyboard. It's a cheap one, but has a dynamic keyboard, sounds surprisingly good and it has a lot of good reviews. If I'm not mistaken it also appears to be the same as Ringway TB100.

[@jeffeason853]

Looks fun Jeremy. How was the keyboard latency? Most bluetooth-connected keyboards I've tried so far have a delay between pressing the key and creating the sound. Did you have an issue with this?

[@cedrickivits4682]

[@wendybagley6775]

Amazing, viedo, but can you use this without a device?

[@huntma3787]

How did you get the USB-C version...all the online says mini-USB as of today

[@rxlifter4016]

I just got one of these and the "shift" button feels different to the other two "Octave" buttons, it doesn't click the same and feels a bit like it's stuck down whereas the others all have a good bit of travel and a satisfying click when you press them. Does anyone else have this unit and if so could you tell me if yours is the same please? Trying to figure out if its defective or if it's meant to be that way...

[@robertoyamakata6672]

If you are a singer and you want to sing a romantic song like can't help falling in love at a full stadium just playing simple chords connected to the stadium pa system the foldable piano will do the job.

[@rubenzcaliento-lr1jb]

Hi Jeremy, I live in Europe, what is the brand and name of the keyboard?

[@Vijay.Poranki]

Which software and vst/sample/tones did you use? I really loved the guitar strumming one.

[@matthewallen1715]

Also curious about that particular sound

[@matthewallen1715]

Same!

[@demagic7791]

If you plug this directly into a 8 track recorder, like the 'Zoom R8' (instead of into a PC) how do you choose the different sounds?

[@xijinchan]

Wouldn’t work, there’s no on-board sounds, this is a controller only. You could connect via Bluetooth midi to your phone, control sound libraries on the phone, and record within the app

[@joecruz9377]

Where can I buy this online? And why are there no 61 key models...

[@gangadharkoneru1914]

Hey Jeremy. Love from India. I'm thinking of buying an e473. Is the LCD PROBLEM solved ? Are the new units having this problem?

[@jeffeason853]

No one knows (or is saying) if the display problem is solved. But so many of these keyboards have been made and are in the supply chain at this point you should assume anything you buy right now was probably manufactured several months ago (when there was definitely a problem). You may or may not get a bad one - but since Yamaha Customer Service is NOT GOOD you need to make sure you buy from a reliable dealer with excellent customer service (even if you pay a little more for the keyboard) who will accept returns during the warranty period and let them deal with Yamaha! Good luck. I hope you can find a good dealer in your area.

[@DesaveryProject]

I have E473 with LCD problem. It still under warranty, so I sent the E473 to the Yamaha service center. It took about 2 weeks until I got the unit back. Now the LCD is good as new. In my country, Yamaha held the sale of E473 until the problem solved. I think now all new units in sale should not have this problem anymore.

[@inesmartinez5943]

what is the software that you use

[@illusionyx907]

Dear Jeremy, according your huge experience, can you pls help to chose e-piano only for classical music: Korg b2, Casio px 1100, Yamaha p125, Roland fp 10 with a best key's mechanism durability for years as the appropriate sound one can add from Android apps. Thank you )))

[@Zoco101]

Nobody should make the decision for you, and at these prices you'll have to accept some limitations. The FP10 probably has the best action of the ones you listed, though I would buy the Alesis Prestige Elite, because it is bristling with nice features, and I'm OK with the action. The Yamaha P-121 (73 keys) is pretty good, and cheaper than the P-125 which has 88 keys. Do you really need 88 at entry level? The action on the P-121 & P-125 is a bit slow, but a lot of people still like it. These pianos have great sounds and speakers too - so they are probably the safest bet. The PX-S1100 is excellent, but the key sticks are a bit short for some players. You do need to try these instruments if at all possible. The Korg B2 seemed quite nice to me but not as nice as the Alesis Prestige Elite. The new Kawai ES120 looks promising, and so does the Gewa PP-3 which features a Steinway Model D sample. I suspect the PP-3 is the best one of all of these for classical music practice.

[@Lance514]

Great review. May I ask where you purchased this? I can't seem to find it available anywhere in the US

[@izzard]

It's a "Carry-on Folding Controller 49" (aka FC-49), with the Blackstar brand, which is really a rebranded Midiplus "Vboard 49" - although there are some differences in the firmware. The manual for the Midiplus Vboard version has many more pages and it seems to have quite a few more features hidden behind the Shift button.

[@KingMaraxus]

Having the same problem, did you ever find a distributor?

[@reoscorpio]

Hello.. Can i start by asking how were you able to download the app (you showed here 6:35). i checked on the website and they show a photo, but no link to download. i just bought the Midiplus Vboard 49 .. it looks exactly identical to your keyboard (they are the same), but it doesn't say "Carry on" (it says Vboard). With Chinese products you can often find the same item with different brand names.. (clones). In any event.. i'm trying to find out if this keyboard can RECEIVE BACK MIDI signals?? (not just send out). And if it can, how would i enable it to do so. i'm using it as a controller for my DAW (on my laptop) and what i play into my DAW (Native Instruments Maschine) i want to have the MIDI data sent back to the keyboard controller, to play the sounds on an app i'm using on my iPad. (Those sounds play when connected via bluetooth to the controller - but i have not found a way to sync my iPad directly with my Laptop). Do you know if this Keyboard can also RECEIVE MIDI BACK after its played/sent MIDI?

[@djs134]

Anyone know why u can’t buy this keyboard? All links are to the non Bluetooth version that’s not touch sensitive.

[@toddwmac]

I see reviews of this Carry on FC-49 from people who have purchased it and they say its garbage. I just wonder if people are getting confused with Carry-On and the Carry-on midi controller. most people have found the purchased keyboard is broken on unpacking. Just wondering how Jeremy says it's so good.

[@reoscorpio]

it is very good. i just bought one that is very identical (has the brand name VBoard but in every way they are the same) and its cool.. it can connect to an iPad and play apps via Bluetooth, and there's virtually no latency at all. Thats amazing. It can also connect to my Laptop via USB cable. & work as a controller with my DAW. i also have an M-Audio, and an XKey 49 key, but i like that this one folds up and fits in my backpack. They keys on it feel different, but after my 2nd practice.. my fingers were use to it. Trust me its worth it. and not so expensive.

[@carlinlemon5884]

Hey Jeremy, this keyboard is apparently made in partnership with Blackstar Amplification, but I'm unable to find anything even on their website or any other place to purchase it, including your links. Thanks for the great review and any help in finding this product for sale!

[@cedrickivits4682]

I got the 88 and 49 version but this one is a newer model. I do NOT have midi over USB. Therefore i got this question: does this version also make “computer keyboard” type of sounds when you type the keys? The previous versions are very “clicky” and kind of make noise when you try to use this when e.g. My girlfriend is sleeping in the living room or when i am practicing somewhere with headphones where other people are reading for example. The Previous ones are NOT touch sensitive and therefore i hope that the keys on this model sound a LITTLE less “clicky”. @jeremy See (or other buyers). Can you give me more information on this topic? I really really really want to know this because i want to make the upgrade.

Jeremy, your link on this post for the 49-key controller is actually a link to a Carry-On 49-key piano WITH SOUNDS AND SPEAKERS! The 49-key MIDI CONTROLLER you are demonstrating does NOT appear to be on the Amazon site. Please update your link, if possible, to the CONTROLLER, if indeed it is listed on Amazon. Thanks!!

[@ibetcruellsizquierdo8096]

How’s the velocity sensibility of this keyboard ?

[@izzard]

It's a bit twitchy and granular. It feels like there are maybe 3-6 levels of sensitivity. It's hard to play softly, because below a certain velocity/pressure it simply doesn't trigger notes at all. And it's quite easy to accidentally leap up to a loud note. There are different modes for the sensitivity though: soft, default, hard and custom. The first three don't seem to make much difference but I haven't tried a custom curve. The velocity sensitivity can also be turned off.

[@reoscorpio]

@@izzard i used it on my iPad and depending on the app, the velocity (touch) sensitivity can be so so, or excellent. i also used it on my Laptop with Native Instruments Maschine Expansions, and the Spectrasonics Keyscape that he has listed here.. and the Velocity Sensitivity is excellent. When i touch the keys softly the sound is low, lay on it harder, and its loud. So it could depend on the source (the app you're using it with). There is a way to adjust it.
