Yamaha PSR-EW400 home keyboard ...for pros too?

It's nice to revisit the great Yamaha PSR-EW400. The sampling feature of the PSR-EW410 decisively trumped the 400, equipped only with its synth engine. But what a great synth engine it is for the price! Nice key action too. Good work Yamaha :)

Yeah, I really REALLY need to NOT ignore the modern keyboards I see for sale at the fleamarkets when I visit Florida..

[@gearfacts]

Just sold it to a very happy family today

[@willo7979]

This is not just a 76key version of the 61key PSR E4x3, in addition it has 12w x2 amplifier too!

[@gearfacts]

That's true, there are a couple of minor differences

Stop please. You'll make me buy the world!!! Great video as always!!!!

Yeah! This man is a devil, always tempting us with something else!

[@josephkeck4752]

Great work, glynn.. you are a better demo man than most of those super big time guys...so the dynamic controllers function as a mixer??

[@gearfacts]

Thanks JK: There's no mixer function on the dynamic controls, they only do effects really. Good idea though :)

[@sivabala5425]

Thanks. Can't wait for the psr-ew420. Meanwhile if you can review the Korg Kross 2 that will be great.

[@gearfacts]

That's one I would really like to review :)

[@_LilacRoses]

I've connected the keyboard to my mac (for logic pro) via the USB port. How do I turn local off so the sound isn't doubled ??

[@gearfacts]

Press FUNCTION repeatedly until the right option appears on the screen

[@_LilacRoses]

@@gearfacts Ah you are a star thank you!

[@ilovekeyboards7830]

Gearfacts Yamaha sounds don't change that much good sounding keyboard

[@mollies13]

Get a tryo 5 then or psr s970

[@a.mandelli4602]

I have the PSR e463 and other Pro Synths... The EW410 has more Keys, L/R out, more sampling zones, Better Sounding Piano and "Louder" Speakers... Waiting for the PSR E420 and/or PSR E473 to come out 😀😲

[@gearfacts]

Ohhhh me too. Such a long and hard wait... soooo long! I'm losing hope that Yamaha will release them before Christmas :(

[@a.mandelli4602]

@@gearfacts Not sure WHEN it will be released... And... If it has good Specs... I might Buy it 😀

[@jerrybreen4774]

Hi Can you tell me if violin and steel guitar sounds are included Thanks

[@gearfacts]

yes, it has several versions of both

[@ilovekeyboards7830]

The yamaha keyboard is like new

[@NickyMitchell85]

Isn’t that keyboard 🎹 more akin to the DJX?

[@gearfacts]

Hmm not really, I'd say the PSR-E463 is much closer to DJX-style functionality.

[@Sedyon]

*Why does even an old PSR-280 have more DSP effects? :'(*

[@gearfacts]

I wish I could say. Both Casio and Yamaha are weird like that, skipping effects in some models then re-introducing them... weird

[@ragbran]

What is the registry to get these different sounds. I cant seem to get these. Appreciate help

[@gearfacts]

Many of them are sounds that I made up myself using the options in the function menu. I haven't got those sounds anymore, but this video shows how it's done (it's the same on the 410 as it is on the 400) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnOvcqN7pLeHi5o
