Yamaha YPG-235 How to Record - Keyboard

[@tripleg2513]

Thanks! Now I can do the saddest thing on piano ever! Play a duet alone.

[@doctorjaymoe3442]

Thanks for the lesson bro'! You are good teacher, I actually was able to understand this for the first time. I usually follow some long explanations but grasp nothing. This video is shot and straight to the point.

[@Films128]

Glad it helped! Thank you for watching!

[@AnonymityIx]

Ive had this keyboard for years but always recorded the tracks for my different instruments on the computer. This was helpful to learn what it can do within the keyboard itself

[@celmarjiffy9939]

It's the best tutorial video on how to record a song on keyboard with multiple tracks! You left nothing behind. Thank you!

[@sindollface]

HUGE THUMBS UP!! Just bought 2nd hand YPG 235 in excellent condition for $70 from offer up. Looked for months. This easy recording is why I was patient ..THANK YOU!!!!!!

[@jwaddle102]

Finally!! I've had a 235 for a few years now and had been searching for video help. Thanks millions!! One thing I still have trouble with is saving voice to the memory banks. How about a video showing how to do that? Your other vids have helped tremendously!!

[@noitallmanaz]

great job... some tips... move the camera out further so you capture the whole area so you dont have to move the camera to show things. In post production, you can zoom in using software. Also, maybe add in how to lay down a whole song using the 5 tracks to show how you set a beat, add the different music and keep it timed correctly.

[@nickelanddime7134]

Thanks for doing these, very helpful. However cannot seem to get a drum loop to record, all of the other track recordings work exactly as described in your video. I setup acmp for the desired drum loop, select song, press "rec - a" keys and it says rec, the acmp icon is flashing. then I hit start, loop plays, the record process appears to start, it even says at the end "writing" but when it's done there is no icon retained indicating it saved it. playback has no sound. Any thoughts are appreciated.

[@carlosjimz]

Let's say you want to record drums riff at the beginning of the song, to then continue with the accompaniment recording , can this be done?, been trying and still can't figure out

[@Films128]

Coincidentally (like VERY), I just recorded a video on this topic that will post soon! But here's the quick version- One option is to play ONLY on the top half of the keyboard, then cue in the accomp when ready by hitting the lower chord notes. Another option is to go under functions, to settings, and put the split point to zero, allowing you to play on the full keyboard without triggering the accomp. sounds. You could potentially play the whole song with just the drum rhythm, and no accomp sounds. Then, because your tempo is basically locked, you could re-record the drum style, waiting for the right moment to cue in the accomp sounds. Hope this helps a little. I know it seems like it's sort of a "all or none" situation with this keyboard, and it really is. My methods are really just "work-arounds."

[@carlosjimz]

@@Films128 thanks a lot for the advice, I have the YPG 535 basically it's the same as the 235, it's a simple kboard but the sound is real good, specially if you know how to operate all those setting, I will try those instructions thanks for your work

Thanks, but do you know how to clear all recordings because I’m trying to record and it says.” Mem full “

[@kranwallace]

How do you make a recording with just the drumbeat. Every time that I try to record with just a simple drumbeat, it completely changes my bass notes to some random poppy sound with a completely different beat.

[@Films128]

Go into functions, scroll through until you see split point. Turn that all the way to zero! Now when you record, the bassy sounds won't turn on.

[@sconione3580]

I was hoping you could record on of the provided rhythm tracks onto one of the 5 tracks for overdubbing but it seems you like you cannot.

[@EverythingsConnected.]

Excellent instruction. ...just curious; are those weighted keys?

[@Films128]

yes the keys are weighted

[@julianaburgess7356]

Thanks! is there any way to have the recording loop/repeat without the intro of 2 measures of the metronome? I will record without the metronome but when I play it back in a loop, it will give 2 measure break in between each repeat...

[@Films128]

I don't think so. I don't think there's any way to loop things.

[@gastoncouriel4332]

hello, i need to record only the drums of the style, with no accomaniamient ( in one track) so in the other tracks y would be able to record what i want using the drums y choose from the style menu. how can i do that? thank you

[@Films128]

Sadly, the keyboard won't let that happen. It insists on having that accomp sound when recording, not just the drums by themselves. The workaround is to record the drums and anything on track one (even if you just record over it on the next run), without hitting any of the lower keys. Then once that's in recorded and done, you'll have the plain drums all set, and now you can record as normal. Hope that makes sense.

[@sagej.3105]

I was recording my songs and it would no longer record. I would try to push the 'record' button it would be greyed out on the screen as if I have disabled the function. Can you please help?? 😣

[@Films128]

It could be that you are out of memory. If you have some songs already recorded, you may have run out of space.

oh well... I guess I will have to repeat a rhythm over and over, which can be hard.@@Films128

[@rodmael5410]

You show a lot of "layered" stuff.....but what about the basics of recording a set of chords and have them loop?? On your other video I saw a LOT of people asking how to loop (repeat) without the frustrating "lead in " beats. We can silence the beats but the time still lags in between repeats. How can we loop cleanly (repeat recorded chording in a loop)

[@Films128]

You can't loop with this keyboard

[@Wrongfullyright]

do you know if you can loop it in time with the previous recording or do you have to make extra long tracks?

[@Wrongfullyright]

for reference : i record something it ends then i have to press start again and it doesnt sync well

can u add styles to this yamaha keyboard ? because i searched on the whole web and on youtube that it need a usb but theres no usb in the keyboard is there any other and plz if there is make a turorial on how to add style thank u

[@Films128]

There is a usb on this keyboard. You can't add styles to it. You could however make a style a midi file and transfer that to the keyboard.

[@ovidioguillen2457]

Once I've recorded. What can I do to be able to see the musical notation of what I've just recorded?

[@Films128]

I haven't found a way to do that yet. I've connected via USB to my computer and told Noteworthy Composer to record. But every note displays equal length. As in, it does bring in the notes as the keyboard plays and Noteworthy records, but every note will be a quarter note, which creates nothing but a huge mess.

You can either record a quick second of silence on that track... as in, start recording on that track, then stop, not having pressed a note. OR, you can just record completely over the track, playing whatever you want.

Kindly tell how can I transfer the recorded data into usb or tranfer to my computer or phone

[@Films128]

It may be possible to record from the keyboard to midi software via, USB. However there is no way to transfer a recorded song you made on the keyboard as a file, to a computer. I use audio recording software and run a line from the headphone jack of the keyboard to a microphone jack on my computer.

[@fahimdawer]

films128 so it's mean the recorded data can only be played on keyboard inside u can't transfer it and if one cannot transfer then I don't think there is any use of this feature.

[@Films128]

I completely agree with the frustration of not being able to export a recorded file to a computer. It's a terrible missing ability of this keyboard. To be able to save recordings, and load them back on to the keyboard at a future time would be great, and is certainly a required feature the next time I purchase a keyboard. Keep in mind though, if you're just looking to output your recording one time to have saved as an audio recording, that is very doable; just watch some of my cover song recordings I've done. You CAN do fantastic things in that aspect. But to not be able to export/import your recordings as a simply file... yes, terrible that this keyboard can't do it.

[@fahimdawer]

films128 thanks a lot for your help

[@tommyhaynes521]

I'm trying to record a song while one the with a drum accompaniment ( just drums no other instruments) is playing but not record the drums. This is just to keep me in meter ..(and I cant work with a metronome ).How can I do this ? This was easy to do with other Yamaha workstations I've had.

[@Films128]

The 235 seems to be weird about this. You need to record at least one note on another track, while the drums are recording. Then basically just record over that track with the one note.

[@tommyhaynes521]

OK ..thanks alot

[@georgegillespie5424]

I just start the tempo and adjust the meter before I began recording the tracks. It doesn't play back. I play the meter while recording the individual tracks. When I pay back the tempo metronome doesn't record. I hope that I've understood and answered your concern.

How do you record drums with no auto accompaniment, just plain drums. I have been trying but to no avail

[@Films128]

The only work around I have found is to turn the "split" no, where the accompaniment begins below that note, use the functions to turn that note all the way to the very bottom of the keyboard. The lowest note. That prevents the accompaniment from being queued, so you'll just have the plain drums in the background recording

the limit isn't time related, it's the memory itself. I love this keyboard, but it's memory is VERY small. So if you have other tracks recorded and filled up, it will limit what you can record.
