Regarding the comment in the video about not being able to send out a signal using Bluetooth: I was able to connect my YDS-150 to an amplifier via Bluetooth (BT) using a BT Transmitter adapter. I plugged the BT transmitter-adapter into the YDS-150 aux-out jack (phone jack) which transmitted the sound to my amplifier. However, the only issue was that there is audio response lag/latency from the YDS-150 when sending to the amplifier or a wireless headphone via BT. This is not an issue unique to the YDS-150 but also many BT connections and audio equipment. It is just that the latency is more evident when you’re playing a musical instrument and you need immediate/simultaneous audio response from your amplifier or headset. Instead of using BT to connect to an amplifier, I use a mini Wireless Transmitter & Receiver (the kind typically used for electric guitars). Plug the Transmitter into the Phone-out on the YDS-150 and the Receiver into your amplifier. For the Transmitter to fit and plug into your YDS-150 you will also need 3.5mm-to-6.35mm adapter to accommodate the plug size. There are different models and prices for the transmitter/receiver set. I bought the Lekato wireless Transmitter & Receiver (comes as a set) and a Monoprice 3.5mm adapter. I bought this whole setup on Amazon for about $50. Since this isn't BT but a type of radio signal, there was no noticeable lag or latency while playing.
No connect to pa via bluetooth??? :-( I have a JBL and a Mackie Portable PA and was hoping to connect the YDS 150 to them via bluetooth. I'll have to wait and see if they fix that in version 2.
@@jaysee27 I spoke with someone at Yamaha and they said they did not put bluetooth on the YDS-150 because there would be a lagg. I am not that fast so I would enjoy the bluetooth out just fine. If the YDS-150 was targeting the student sax player and not the pro I have a strong suspicion that Yamaha will be coming out with a professional version soon. Just a suspension.
please do you know how many extra fingering can put on , becuae i benn trying to do and extra notes , I do a D5 and Eb5 but when I ty to put the E5 the otheres finderings goes out thanks
This video doesn't show how to connect YDS-150 with Mac (apparently shown in the video). My MacPro 2017 did not see YDS in Bluetooth Pref and no software or app like in iPad (use iPad Pro 2019). While I could connect via Bluetooth in iPad and Windows, it did not show as audio output like in the video.
Found it and tested on iPad and MacBook (Big Sur). There are YDS-150 (for App) and YDS-150 AUDIO (For Audio).

"First, you’ll need to turn on Bluetooth by holding down the Function button (circled in red in the illustration on the right) while pressing the low E♭ key. Use the up arrow to set this to “on” and release the Function button.

I have a connection via BT but I hear the background sound only on my iPad speakers not in my earphones. Only when I connect the iPad by Aux I can hear the background sound. What is the reason that BT cannot be available on the YDS150?
Please help. I just got my YDS-150 today and could only got one same sound coming out of it no matter what key or keys I pressed. I thought it just needs powered up and ready to play out of the box. Did I miss some setup or installation step? Thank you

Hi Sonny. I managed to get mine working yesterday, kept pressing the side keys near my right hand and eventually I got some sound. Then I did the same on B, A, G etc. Then also plugged earphones in, and boom it worked!
@@tabathaforbes6856 Hello Tabatha. Well that's good to hear and thank you for letting me know. Do ALL the keys work now? And what do you mean kept pressing "the side keys near my right hand"? Do you mean just choose one particular key and keep pressing until it changes the sound similar from the previous key to a corrected sound?
Did you ever get this resolved? I got one and it sounded like a cheap flute. Where is the range and difference in voices, they all just sound cheap and basically the one same instrument. I took it in for service immediately. I want this to work. When they call me to come and get it I want someone to play those different voices I heard in the Yamaha videos. Everyone raves about this YDS150 so I was not expecting a dud.
2:22 Are you serious? Why!? Why would they add bluetooth to a digital instrument, but not let you output the sound of the instrument via bluetooth? Or use it as MIDI over bluetooth. Such a missed opportunity.

What would you recommend as a portable amplifier most suitable for YDS150 ?
Nice

bonjour, quel amplificateur utilisez vous,merci.
How is the sound being amplified? Is it via a wired connection?
Yes

What is the range of breadth pressure compared to the Aerophones?
It is fully adjustable from asthmatics to big bad wolf breathwork.

I got mine today. Exactly the same thing going on. Did you find the solution? I’ve tried a factory reset, but that won’t work either.
