    Thanks for taking all the time and effort to make these videos.
    I decided to purchase one of these keyboards largely as a result of your review and being able to hear it in action.
    I love it. Amazing value for money imo, even though I'm a guitarist more than a keyboard player.
    I got it to help with my songwriting and it rocks.
    Cheers mate. Great job. :)

    Hi, thanks for the comment. There's only minor differences between them. The song / style stop, start buttons have been put where the registration / song memory buttons are on the 403. So in effect these buttons have been swapped over. There's some different styles, extra entries in the music database list and 50 extra arpeggio patterns. Is it worth paying the extra for this over the 403? Probably not in my opinion, however the choice is yours.

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  13 лет назад

    @lukashuk You're welcome. They've updated the models now, so the latest version is the PSR-E423. I doubt you can buy the older PSR-E403 new now, however the PSR-E413 might still be available. No major differences between them, just more voices, styles, arpeggios and case styling in the new models

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  16 лет назад

    Further information that you may find useful. E403 has 504 voices including the drum kits, sound fx etc, 155 styles, 30 built in songs. There are 50 arpeggio patterns. Connections at back are headphones, DC power, foot switch input and USB to host. There is no lyric display function like on the PSR-K1. You can transpose the keys up and down to extend the bottom range of notes, however you may run of keys for the higher notes.

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  13 лет назад

    @princeicio Style is the background music as you play the melody (that is the drums, bass, chords). Midi is a form of communication between instruments or computers and instruments which send details of note pitch, duration, loudness, type of instrument etc as a series of a string of numbers along a cable. A standard set of commands and numbers is used to represent the musical information. The midi file just consists of this data and can be decoded, played back as a song by a midi enabled device

    @iMAKEvids56 . Hi this model has been replaced by PSR-E413 which in turn has been replaced by PSR-E423. The E423 is around $230

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  11 лет назад

    The E403/413/423/433 will have arpeggiators and two control knobs for controlling the sound such as cutoff, resonance, release etc. I believe the 433 now has a USB to device feature which makes loading styles and saving your own performance a lot easier. I guess the sound of the instruments is basically the same throughout

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  16 лет назад

    Hi, it is ideal for a beginner who wants extra features such as arpeggio, pitch bend wheel and synth control knobs. If you're more serious with the piano playing side, want proper piano touch with 88 keys then look elsewhere. The YPT-410 is just another name for PSR-E413.

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  15 лет назад

    There's 30 built in songs, though I'd say about 11 are for actual learning. There's a further 70 on a CD. Songs include - Ave Maria, Fur Elise, Maple Leaf Rag, Amazing Grace, Scarborough Fair, Nocturne op.9-2, Arabesque, Turkish March, Entertainer, Little Brown Jug, Ode to Joy, Canon in D, O Christmas Tree

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  15 лет назад

    Both models don't have a USB to device slot, meaning that you cannot plug in a USB pen / drive to load or play midi files like for the more expensive DGX / MM / Motif / tyros model range. The YPT's have a USB to host connector for linking up to a PC via a standard USB A to B lead. You can also purchase a USB to midi 5 pin din type of lead if you want to connect the keyboard to midi controllers or other keyboards which have the standard 5 pin din midi conector. I haven't tried this myself.

  • @etharyiel
    @etharyiel 13 лет назад

    thank you, I found your reviews extremely helpful. was looking to possibly buy one and didn't have on in stores around me to test out in person. thanks!

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  15 лет назад

    Hi, yes you can buy a pedal. I have the Yamaha FC5 which should be available from music shops or Ebay

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  14 лет назад

    @realjuvelive It should sound the same as the E403 but it will not have the synth control knob functions cutoff, resonance. It does have 76 keys which makes it easier for piano pieces which have lower bass notes and higher treble clef notes. The keys and not weighted though like on YPG-635 and MM8 etc. Styles are close to the E403 with intro and endings

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  15 лет назад

    Hi,
    This is a good keyboard to start off with, however please note that the keys are soft touch and do not feel like a proper piano and there are only 61 keys compared to 88 on full size instrument. The feel will take some getting used to. You may find a used PSR-E403 better value than a new PSR-E413 - there are only minor differences in spec between them.

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  13 лет назад

    @princeicio Hi, it is basically the same. They just added more syles, flash memory and arpeggios, different key layout and colour.

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  15 лет назад

    Hi, yes, you should be able to use it with FL Studio. I had a quick go with the program demo.

  • @lurholm
    @lurholm 15 лет назад

    The flute sounded great, the alto sax so-so. How are the brass sounds on this keyboard? Trumpet, trombone and so on.

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  14 лет назад

    @realjuvelive Yes. You may also want to look at the Yamaha NP-V60 and NP-V80. It seems most of the demos I've seen on youtube are non-english speaking versions.

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  13 лет назад

    @princeicio If you're going to play piano type pieces more, go for 76 keys. Larger memory only useful when transfering new styles or if you want to play midi files

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  15 лет назад

    Hi. The sweet trumpet is ok, trombone is reasonable. Remember the price of this keyboard compared to the demos of other models in the Yamaha range. It is 1/10th of the price of Tyros3.

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  14 лет назад

    @anilk70 . Hi, it is the opening part of Beethoven's Fur Elise. Thanks for your comment

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  14 лет назад

    Hi, Out of the two the E403 is the more flexible as it has pitch bend and four synth knobs. The voice quality should be the same. A used E403 at a good price will be a better buy than a new E413 or E323. The E413 doesn't not offer much more over the E403. The E403 does have some drawbacks if you purely want to learn piano. First the keys are not weighted like on an acoustic piano and there are only 61keys instead of 88. A piano teacher would advise to get a digital piano with weighted keys

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  13 лет назад

    @elgoose2003 I'm not familar with this software, however if it handles midi devices then it should see the keyboard as a midi input when the 403 is connected to the PC via the USB cable and the program should then read the midi note data when you press a key and play it's own sound

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  13 лет назад

    @whitelia92 Hi, Try turning the data wheel instead of +/- buttons and as you're turning keep pressing the same note to see if the note changes pitch.

  • @BM0701
    @BM0701 16 лет назад

    thank you, i have bought yamaha psr 403 too, and i hope it has a nice piano sound .

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  11 лет назад

    I'm not familar with a macbook or garageband, but I guess you'll need the USB driver for mac which is under the support section of yamaha's website, so that the software will see the keyboard as a midi device. Latest version of the USB driver is 1.3.2 for OS 10.5.8 / 10.6.8 / 10.7.8 and 10.8.x. There are other versions of the driver for earlier mac os

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  16 лет назад

    Hi, It is Bitter Sweet Symphony by The Verve

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  15 лет назад

    I believe that the first 3 demo songs are different and that the 410 is a darker colour. Otherwise they are the same.

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  14 лет назад

    @realjuvelive Not on this model. Nearest would be Yamaha DGX500/505/520/530 or DGX620/630/640 but these do not have the synth functions. Otherwise Yamaha MM8 but no intro/endings in the styles

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  14 лет назад

    Hi, it is part of Infinity by DJ Guru Josh. I prefer the original 1990 version to the 2008 one

    @anilk70 14 лет назад

    Your presentation was really good. What is the name of the song you have played for the "grand piano"?

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  14 лет назад

    @LIBINPB2 It is a version of Lambada, though probably not 100% accurate

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  13 лет назад

    @princeicio Yes, but you may be better off with a dedicated midi controller especially if you can get one with 88keys for the same price as a used E403

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  15 лет назад

    Personally, I would get a used E403 rather than a new E413. The newer model has more apreggio patterns, more entries in the music database and probably a couple of extra styles / voices(or revamped ones). However if you're not going to use the arpeggio and music database much than the E403 is better value.

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  13 лет назад

    @Dlavernia Yes, voice number 474 on the E403

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  15 лет назад

    Hi, It is part of The Entertainer by Scott Joplin

  • @Dlavernia
    @Dlavernia 13 лет назад

    @keithy501 I see, but the question remains, does it have a dog barking SFX? This is critical information.

  • @hammerfallnr1
    @hammerfallnr1 14 лет назад

    very nice vid what song do you play on the alto sax ? i love that song (5:38 5:55)

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  14 лет назад

    @realjuvelive It seems ok. To be honest, I'm probably not the best person to ask as I don't know much about their products. To me it has the advantage of being portable and the 2 headphone sockets is a nice feature. Looks like they're offering the flexibility of a basic digital piano and a midi controller in one unit. The keys are only semi-weighted so they would seem light, but it's down to personal preference and you'd need to actually play one in a shop to see how good the sample sounds are

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  15 лет назад

    Hi, Thanks for watching the demo. I like Sabbath, Priest, Dio. I don't believe this keyboard would be suitable for you as heavy metal guitar sound is not a strong point on this model and you may be limited by the polyphony. It will record as fast as you play. Check out the demos on MM6, Motif ES/XS as they may be more suitable. I'm not familiar with Roland, Korg.

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  15 лет назад

    Hi, it has several electric guitars, however, in my opinion they are a bit of a letdown. Go for the MM6 model if this instrument sound is important to you.

  • @burpo
    @burpo 11 лет назад

    Yamaha is notorious for compatibility issues, so be careful when shopping for an audio interface. Google for specific problems encountered with your particular elements. If you're going into Garageband, the keyboard is merely a controller triggering GB sounds. May as well get a cheap Casio (worse baked-in sounds but, better compatibility) on Craig's List.

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  16 лет назад

    Hi, I think it's just a different model number for some parts of the world.

  • @realjuvelive
    @realjuvelive 14 лет назад

    @keithy501 sounds good ! what do you think of ypg-235 ?

  • @princeicio
    @princeicio 13 лет назад

    @keithy501 Actually the psr-e423 looks like this one it's nice but I'm really confused cause I was thinking about getting the ypg-235 but the ypg-235 is only 373KB internal memory psr-e423 is 1.8MB internal memory but the ypg-235 is 76 keys :S

  • @princeicio
    @princeicio 13 лет назад

    @keithy501 You mean to transfer sounds,tones,styles bla bla etc. into a memory of the keyboard?
    what if I'm going to use the keyboard on a software like reason sonar or cubase do I need a good internal memory on the keyboard to play some different sounds on the keyboard running on a software record some music with different voices?

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  14 лет назад

    @TheAmazingProduction - @TheAmazingProduction - Thanks. For the voice just a basic PC Microphone which was recorded after the various parts on the keyboard (hence the background noise). The keyboard itself was connected from the headphone socket to the PC's line in on the sound card and Steinberg's Wavelab was used. Video was from a Logitech Quickcam Fusion webcam. I had to synch the sound of the keyboard to the video of playing it using XP Moviemaker, so it may be out of synch slightly.

  • @keithy501
    @keithy501  14 лет назад

    @ausbegosh Yes, I agree. It's hard to read the music notes on the display

    How do you change the time signature? The manual doesn't give enough steps.

    • @keithy501
      @keithy501  7 лет назад

      The manual on pages 63 and 64 explain how to do this with a 5/8 example. You cannot change the time signature of a style. Basically hold down the metronome on/off button until timesign appears on the the display. Turn the dial wheel to the required number of beats in a measure e.g. 2,3,4,6 etc. Then press category up and down button to show timesigd on the display and use the dial wheel to select what beat each note will be e.g. 2,3,4,6,8 etc

    @keithy501  14 лет назад

    @SilentGProduction If you're an experienced musician at making this kind of music then an advanced model would be better. I know Yamaha tend to push the MM6 for this kind of application. You could also go down the route of a midi controller and use the sounds within Reason / Ableton etc

  • @oOSamuraiOo
    @oOSamuraiOo 16 лет назад

    whats this model's relationship to the YPT-400?

    Its tough to part with this wonderful keyboard after I had it for two years (in US) and now its time for me to go back to India, taking it with me on flight will be costly,, and even if I ship it back home, I don't trust the postal service in my country to deliver it safely.

But the sound of my keyboard still remains in C. Is there a button I am suppose to click to activate it? I also tried saving it the bank. But it still remains in C. Is it just my keyboard? Thanks.

    You pay for what you get. It cannot or expect to match a MM6 (motif sounds). It's aimed at novice players who want a bit more than a basic keyboard can offer. I wish it had a USB to device slot and better guitar sounds. You can always upgrade once you've learn the basics of playing
