This is the more sensual keyboard´s review I´ve ever seen XD great job to standard boring videos

[@LaBeatrie]

Thank you a lot for that comment haha 😊 🙏 yeah I tried to do something different, funny and still instructive

[@nicholasmaroni3107]

I have a PSR-16 myself and have used it on several track, with some eq work some of the organ sounds can really sound exactly like beach house.

[@LaBeatrie]

Drop some links so we can listen to that !

[@BellXllebMusic]

i just bought one of these and it's absolutely a lovely instrument

[@LaBeatrie]

Enjoy your time with it my friend ! ✌️

[@bamboos]

I just got this little gem from Facebook marketplace for free!!! I

[@LaBeatrie]

Oh nice deal my friend 👏 ! Enjoy 😀

[@nonameyet7162]

I just picked one up 5 minutes ago off the side of the road. Garbage day. Got the power adapter too. Will try it later tonight. Hope it works good.

[@LaBeatrie]

Lucky day ! Have fun my friend

[@CO5MA]

FM sounds

[@LaBeatrie]

Thanks ! Do you own your own DX7 ? I see you've got the sweet Digitone, seems pretty nice ! Love your Veridis Quo interpretation

[@squishmusic]

PSR-36 is the MIDI equipped version. Check out PSR21/22. No MIDI but the very nice YM3812 chip. I think this sounds better then the 36. I had them both for repair in the same weeks.

[@LaBeatrie]

Nice ! Thanks for that, I'll check those synths out 😁 Are they as cheap and as findable as the PSR-16 ?

[@squishmusic]

@@LaBeatrie Findable. Well they pop up randomly. Some insane prices. Some cheap. Ive fixing up a PSR21. Just some wonky keys. 30€ paid. Nice buzzy but warm FM sounds

[@SidBarnhoorn]

I just bought a PSR-16 for €15,- locally! Needs a good cleaning but it sounds great!

[@LaBeatrie]

That's a nice deal ! Enjoy

[@samusordicus]

i was looking to get a cheap vintage synth and come across your videos so i ended up grabbing one on ebay for £40. i love it’s little quirks ! have you run it through rings and clouds yet ? highly recommend !!

[@LaBeatrie]

Hey dude ! So nice to hear that 😃 I'm glad you like this beast. Nope I never tried it fed to my modular synth, I have to do that right now !

[@DJSpaceRetrotunes]

Very nice presentation! Does this keyboard has the YM3812 chip?

[@LaBeatrie]

Hey, thanks for your comment! To be honest, I cannot answer to this question, I don't know

[@1zoaele]

Does psr-16 supports a sustain pedal?

[@LaBeatrie]

Hmm there is a RCA socket for "Aux. Out/Exp. Pedal". But that's all I can tell you, I never used it

[@fernand0114]

can that piano sound like a grand piano?

[@LaBeatrie]

No, It's really not it's purpose. Maybe it can sound like a heavily processed one, mixed in a bunch of reverb and delay

[@WellBeSerious12]

Wow!

[@LaBeatrie]

Wow yourself!

[@davidbarrada3]

Did you use some external effect ? I suppose you did

[@LaBeatrie]

Yep, I don't remember precisely, but smooth compression, some eq, delay and reverb to make it clean ! 😁 Only Ableton Live devices

[@davidbarrada3]

@@LaBeatrie Well done man

[@LaBeatrie]

Thanks my friend !

[@rnbjayp]

Does it needs speaker or earphone to be heard?

[@LaBeatrie]

Noap ! 🙂 Onboard speakers are pretty decent. And you have a mono jack output to plug headphones, link it to a mixer or whatever

[@rnbjayp]

@@LaBeatrie appreciate your quick response brother! Thank you so much

[@rnbjayp]

@@LaBeatrie hope you can have a video or like a cover using this one

[@LaBeatrie]

@@rnbjayp A pleasure, mate !

[@LaBeatrie]

@@rnbjayp actually I did ! I use it pretty often 😊 I made big Aphex Twin "covers" and some jams with it, all are on my KZbin channel

[@mwarsell]

Ext. reverb used in the demo?

[@GuitarP0RN]

Yes, he stated this in another reply

[@commodore74]

To my ears it sounds like the ableton stock reverb

[@pasanmallawarachchi1611]

Can you tell me how to sound it like a piano

[@LaBeatrie]

Everything is explained in the video. If you have more specific questions I'll be happy to help you ! 🤜💢🤛

[@milanpopovic9685]

Did you figure it out,help please i want to buy it but just as a piano

[@sonicaids]

the PSR-36 has midi

[@LaBeatrie]

I never had the chance to put my hands on it

[@MrPaulmc1981]

@@LaBeatrie if you can get the 36 it's really good. Has a detune slider as well as all those ones. I was fortunate to get one for£40 as its starting to gain a lot of retro value.
