This is hands down the best keyboard review/demo I have ever seen. The production values are amazing - sound and visual quality are better than most commercial videos. And your approach - what to show, and how you explain features - is so simple and straightforward. Thank you SO much for your content and efforts.
@@dandvoracek8692 the voice AND the tone! perfect for this kind of demo videos! and he speaks just as much as needed, not a word too many! this gentleman knows very well what he's doing: a true pro!
Man! This channel is brilliant. Very good taste in every detail. the video, the art direction, the graphic design, the musical skills, the audio, the voice... Congratulations on who is behind this amazing content. Very very good job!
Cool, I bought one! It's the limitations that make these little keyboards useful. With all the options of the big DAWs and fancy synths I don't know where to start, this little thing forces me to be creative!
Yes its sounds really nice, but in this video he's sending the audio signal right out into his computer, it would be interesting to hear the sound directly from the speaker
Wow, this was one of the best demos I've ever seen. I love the aesthetic, the pleasant voice tone, the style of the demonstrations and the smooth presentation overall. There's no fluff and it's exactly the kind of information I wanted. I will probably buy one of these keyboards now because I understand its abilities. I just subscribed even though I'm not really a piano/keys kind of person. Thank you! Well done! :)
Blown away by the excellent production on this video and so surprised you don't have hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Loved hearing all the different sounds
Dude! This video is amazing. Incredible review/tutorial/music-making lesson in such a straightforward, clear, sound, and professional manner! I’m following this channel right away! Thank you!!
I spent hours online looking for a decent liitle Synth, when ever I saw something within my price range I'd put the name into RUclips and watch a review. I watched this review twice and bought one. Thank you. I'll be no doubt watching a thousand times again to copy what you do in this vid haha
That's the best video I've seen about this funky little keyboard online, and the best video I've seen about ANY keyboard on youtube. 10 outta 10 for presentation!! That was really great. Thanks so much. I hope Yamaha get to see this video and listen to this guys thoughts about how this fantastic little keyboard could be improved. Imagine if Yamaha added the things he mentioned in the video, with more quality sounds, and dual crystal clear speakers. This little keyboard could even better.
I was looking for something small like this to learn to play while doing nothing at work. Is much time i am just setting around looking down the hall. Its my job, I am a night time security guard. Nobody around, just watching a building all night. So it might be a good time to learn something.
It's shocking how good the bass and drums sound are. I don't know how much you processed them for the video or your Soundcloud, but I've heard worse from $1k+ keyboards. And of course your talent really makes it shine. Thanks for sharing with us!!!!!
Big like on this one, I really appreciate the details you provide and the fact that you re not limiting on showing some simple harmony, you re actually creating on it, which remembers me how I learned piano the first... I had a Fujiyama, 37 keys as well and I wished at that age of playing a PSR. Meanwhile I grew up and I got professional gear, but I think you still found a way to make this little instrument so desirable. Cheers.
I have never seen such wide review, brilliant, really this mini keyboard has basic and some advance functionally that could make any music sketcher do wonderfull creativity, it has in built phrase recorder, but you czn add external lopper pedal to paint wonderful picturesque on canvas, thank to this guy,
Great demonstration of this little workhorse. Just add a looper pedal and all your dreams will come true. I watch this video years ago, it was one of the reasons I still purchase the A50 and its still part of my busking kit.
I have a thing for Yamaha's small home keyboards! This gear seems amazing and if only yamaha could make a modern pss 470/570. Very informative demo and nice playing skills btw! Subscribed.
I wasn't expecting some of these features at this price and size. I was just looking for a good mini keyboard that a kid could enjoy, but that could still be used for MIDI. Would be nice if they added some more I/O, but still, it's pretty impressive.
A great review . This looks like just the thing I can use in my writing as I have little space and its portability and quality sound might be a perfect fit ! Plus the arpeggio functions sound great !
Thanks for this cool review. It is straight to the point and the language is very clear - for me as a non-native English speaker very easy to follow even without subtitles. Great job!
Wow Such a wonderful Video Thank You!! I've watched 20 vids on A50 & read the Manual & still didn't really know this thing. What an Awesome Lesson this is on a very fun Keyboard! Your Midi Vid on A50 is also Fantastic!! 🎉❤👍
Thank you! Ordered mine. It arrives Sunday. Feeling slightly bad for my Casio SA 46 that was doing travel duties on the road, but this looks more up to the task.
This is awesome, I had no idea these existed! I'm glad Yamaha remade these vintage keyboards so younger generations can enjoy them too. The form factor reminds me a lot of the Casio SA 46 actually.
I also like this extended review a lot, thank you! Searching for something to play with in these bad times ... Sometimes I did not catch how you called some function, so quick it was :-D
I can't understand why I keep watching this video over and over. Maybe is the Van Halenesque vibe from "The Wild Life". Your immaculate timing and perfect voice progression makes this thing sound good.
The last song was like a Go West that was never released. Awesome. Please play any Depeche Mode song in a future video before the whole humanity is wiped out by the corona virus.
Hi there, bought one, after seeing this, december last year, almost 20y without an instrument,, I was thisrty :) i used to play guitar,, never touched a keyboard,, now im playing 3 good songs already,, You really got a hold on me - smokey,, Changes - B Sabbath and I Want you - Marvin Gaye. Now looking to leram brazilian ones like old Carmen Miranda sambas,,, very happy with it,,, watched this vídeo like ten times,, thank u Keen, luv from Brazil. I’ll post some questions,, simple but maybe can help others too
After watching several videos about keyboards , I decided to spend up to $100 and get one . The PSS-A50 was my choice . There were several larger keyboards in the $50 -$75 range , but I wanted a more compact keyboard . I do not play any musical instrument , so I'm not familiar with keyboards . This video really helped me getting started learning the functions of this new "toy" . There are lots of functions packed into a very compact keyboard . More functions with very few buttons makes this a challenge at first . Videos like this eases that challenge . Thanks for such an informative video . I've only had this pss-a50 a few days and love it already . Glad I chose this fine Yamaha keyboard .
one of the best review i've seen on last years. It should be very useful if he make a video manual, with slower instructions and examples, most of all about arpeggio and sound on sound recordings. Anyway, thanks for this good work|
It’s a great review and I bought a same piano after seeing it😊.Hopefully I will enjoy. Sir’Many thanks for uploading such a good video 🙏🙏and hope to see you more in the future😉
4:03 That little run right there shows you just how awesome this little thing can sound. I'm at work but I wish I could try that run down the keyboard on my lunch break but I don't have a little portable keyboard, hence why I'm watching this video. lol
I came to figure out which old casio I wanted but got this instead. It's super fun to jam on the couch! Tip: hold shift to toggle through the groups of arps or effects
Omg, I recognize a few of those drum patterns from my digital piano. Never occurred to me that Yamaha would reuse beats between models, but it makes sense.
Mein Gott! $99 for the A50? That's a ton of functionality and very good sounds for that price. Sounds like a wonderful starter board for youngsters/beginners. 100X better than what I started with: a used Casio MT-500 & a new Casio SK-1 ...both which I kept for nostalgia's sake 35years + later :P

those songs sound amazing! you did a great job! i would support you but i dont have money...
Hi. I looked for the song at 4:17 but I didn't find it there. Is it something I can find somewhere? I really like it.

100 % agreed...
yamaha should hire this guy to demo their products lol.
very nicely produced and professional-looking review you got there !
+ the voice!
I second you
Do not open!

You're an uniquely competent human being, this level of production truly stirred my soul.
for a second i thought i was watching some documentary or the show how its made. quality stuff.
How it's played
Nick P lmao exactly
I need to avoid these videos, because now I need this
Yeah me two
Me too
its a sickness
Same here😥
Good thing this is a modern one, you can actually buy it
Cool, I bought one! It's the limitations that make these little keyboards useful. With all the options of the big DAWs and fancy synths I don't know where to start, this little thing forces me to be creative!
M vV you're so damn right
Exactly! I love limitations!
this in a looper would be awesome
True, I’m here after all the midi controllers review…Finally I just want something to have a break from staring at the monitor 24/7 😩
Can it play single notes without any patterns? -ie I want to be able to play bass notes only to replace my bass guitar
Duude, nobody's talking about how beautiful his voice sounds
I find it really annoying.
@@AndreaAustoni ok
I find his voice very relaxing. I can hear it all day.
Yes its sounds really nice, but in this video he's sending the audio signal right out into his computer, it would be interesting to hear the sound directly from the speaker
@@dixonnegron1083 he sounds like a nut
Wow, this was one of the best demos I've ever seen. I love the aesthetic, the pleasant voice tone, the style of the demonstrations and the smooth presentation overall.

Clearly an underrated channel.
Blown away by the excellent production on this video and so surprised you don't have hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Loved hearing all the different sounds
Dang, that's a lot of performance for 99 bucks. I'm impressed.
Just $99? That's it?!?
JoOngleGamer 3 octave midi for 99. I’m down
I paid £85 post free from Amazon UK
4 times the price and you can get a professional PSR series keyboard
Please help me in making loop, when i record phrase so extra 4 beat pause coming in loop. Sometimes perfect loop but sometimes 4 extra beats.. 😊
Dude! This video is amazing. Incredible review/tutorial/music-making lesson in such a straightforward, clear, sound, and professional manner! I’m following this channel right away! Thank you!!
I can't believe how much sound shaping they've managed to fit in this form-factor. Pretty amazing if you ask me.
I was blown away by your review
and how you drew out all the juice
this little board has to offer.
I'm getting one - I can't wait!
Blown away by the quality of this review. Probably the best review of anything I’ve ever watched.
These things are actually really powerful, useful, and FUN! You've sold me!!!
Outstanding review and an incredibly talented chap to boot. Thank you for taking the time to create this masterclass in how to use the PSS A50.
I spent hours online looking for a decent liitle Synth, when ever I saw something within my price range I'd put the name into RUclips and watch a review. I watched this review twice and bought one. Thank you. I'll be no doubt watching a thousand times again to copy what you do in this vid haha
HAHAHAH SAME I KEPT LOOKING FOR HOURS TILL I FOUND THIS VID. I will be ordering mine soon, so excited !
Me too. I bought a50 instead of the e30. I ♥️ the sounds.
how do you like it?
I really like how he uses the sounds from the keyboard he's reviewing in the intro tune and the background music throughout the video!
That's the best video I've seen about this funky little keyboard online, and the best video I've seen about ANY keyboard on youtube. 10 outta 10 for presentation!! That was really great. Thanks so much. I hope Yamaha get to see this video and listen to this guys thoughts about how this fantastic little keyboard could be improved.

The best review I have seen so far of any product on RUclips. Love your style.
I’m now subscribed.
Thanks for the upload.
Was looking into buying a keyboard for fun. This seems fun indeed but i'm also hyper-intimidated by all the skill. Great video.
This video is the best ever user manual. I already have one of these, but I wouldn't be able to figure out so many functions by myself 😅.
i showed up here again for the third time just to listen to this wonderful tune in the end of video.
No exaggeration this might be the best product demo video I’ve ever seen..
I was looking for something small like this to learn to play while doing nothing at work.
Is much time i am just setting around looking down the hall.
Its my job, I am a night time security guard.
Nobody around, just watching a building all night.
So it might be a good time to learn something.
Go for it! you will never regret!
agree , go for it, this little keyboard will get you started & you'll have a lotta fun. You will at least get an idea what music technology is doing .
you are lying
@Phil Babb = Troll 👤
Imagine some robbers trying to break in and all of a sudden they hear some dissonant chords played at a piano
It's shocking how good the bass and drums sound are. I don't know how much you processed them for the video or your Soundcloud, but I've heard worse from $1k+ keyboards. And of course your talent really makes it shine. Thanks for sharing with us!!!!!
I would pay money to watch this guy reviewing anything at all! Congrats!
Brilliant review 10/10 and (as someone else also commented) a very good voice delivery - voices are important!!!
Great review--very professional. You're an excellent musician and composer as well.
I stumbled upon this channel whilst looking for Yamaha pss130 review
This is a great channel

Great narration voice by the way

Bought it thisafternoon! Now checking this vid! No regrets, what a great little machine! And a perfect tutorial, thanks 🙏
The look and the sounds are pretty good for the small keyboard that is ;) Nice channel . Subscribed!
Best keyboard, musical instruments review of all time !! Thank you !! #1 !!!

@@Charlie19501 Roughly the equivalent of $100. Used I'd guess you could get it for half that if not less.
That song in the end was ROCKING! buying it
Watching this video after some months again. It‘s so impressive what you are doing with this tiny keyboard.
A great review . This looks like just the thing I can use in my writing as I have little space and its portability and quality sound might be a perfect fit ! Plus the arpeggio functions sound great !
Wow the yamaha pss series has come a long way, thanks for sharing
Jesus. I just wanted to know if i should by it for my kid. You have made me want to learn all about keyboards
Way more advanced than my Casio SA-46. I will be watching, thank a lot for the top notch reviews 🙂
A very 80's sounding device. I love it.
thats exactly what it is!
@@gabepenn7386 The Pss series never sounded like that in the 80's
@@zibbezabba2491 but the 80's sounded like that anyway
You wouldn't say that if he played Beethoven the whole time
Well, you have been successful in making me curious and making the competitors maybe rather furious. Thanks!
I've found a gold mine of a channel. Fantastic presentation, pacing and playing. Your videos brim with style and quality.
Absolutely stunning review and awesome jam at the end! 💙
Hey there! I have to tell you I am so impressed with your Soundcloud music with all the different little keyboards. Pretty damn cool
Thanks for this cool review. It is straight to the point and the language is very clear - for me as a non-native English speaker very easy to follow even without subtitles. Great job!
One of the best and more complete reviews I've seen so far. Thank you!
No
Wow Such a wonderful Video Thank You!! I've watched 20 vids on A50 & read the Manual & still didn't really know this thing. What an Awesome Lesson this is on a very fun Keyboard! Your Midi Vid on A50 is also Fantastic!! 🎉❤👍
I've seen one the other day and I consider buying one and at the same time you posted this.
It's a sign, buying one today :)
Thank you!
Now that is a professional review...and voice..ASMR !
The quality of your video is so amazing! Thank you for all details, I wish Yamaha payed you for this incredible work. Thanks a lot
Wow, that's one nice, practical, in-depth presentation.
Thank you! Ordered mine. It arrives Sunday. Feeling slightly bad for my Casio SA 46 that was doing travel duties on the road, but this looks more up to the task.
Which one do you like better?
This is the best looking review of anything I have ever seen
And if you think it can't get even better than ... but it does! Well done, Yamaha. Well done, @keenonkeys!
Your excellent review sold me on one : - ) Love it, including the fact it doesn't need power to retain the recorded phrase.
I love the review-and-tutorial-in-one style!
This is awesome, I had no idea these existed! I'm glad Yamaha remade these vintage keyboards so younger generations can enjoy them too. The form factor reminds me a lot of the Casio SA 46 actually.
You wouldn't expect such a quality sound out of this toy looking keyboard!
this thing sounds way better then roland g1000
Yamaha portasounds have always been remarkably good keyboards, i have a PS 1 that looks like a brown brick but for some sounds its brilliant.
im just jealous of todays kids getting their hands on great tech compared what i had to start with 30 years back. pretty incredible!!
I also like this extended review a lot, thank you! Searching for something to play with in these bad times ... Sometimes I did not catch how you called some function, so quick it was :-D
