Yamaha PSR-530 retrospective: Still showing power and potential!
The PSR-530 is an XG feast (XG being Yamaha's standard sound map originating from the mid 90's, for those too young to remember!)
This particular PSR-530 has a wrecked screen but it's still possible to go through plenty of the XG sounds and discover some really sweet layers and other great results with only minor editing.
Then It's over to 25-years-newer PSR-E463 to cram some complex midi data and filtering into the old 530. Can it cope?

Yamaha SEQTRAK sequencer and SO much more!
Переглядів 41219 годин тому
Well if you ever wanted to see a true all-rounder, the Seqtrak from Yamaha ticks every box: Sequencing, Sampling, FM and PCM synthesis, effects, dynamic control - and it can do it all independently of a computer. The role of the computer is basically organisational. There are a few bonus effects and features, but really the Seqtrak carries all the goods anywhere you want to go.

Yamaha PSR-E383 15 minutes of some new styles

Yamaha have really re-worked the style content for this new generation. The old ones were getting a bit too familiar but suddenly they've almost vanished, giving the PSR-E383 a really fresh feel for 2024 :)

Yamaha continues its reputation for improving on every model in its respective series. Building further on the impressive PSR-E373, Yamaha brings additional sounds and beats, a more efficient control panel workflow and plenty more subtle improvements to the PSR-E383. Really proud to bring you the first review of this one!

Roland J6 Chord Synthesizer: On its own, and with MIDI
Переглядів 47728 днів тому
This little tool from Roland is a real song-builder. Its ability to set up chord progressions is an excellent speaker for composers who want to reach our for something new. In this video, though, I focus a bit closer on its more spontaneous application as a synth module.
Yamaha YSP-1400 Sound bar trialled with synthesizers as if it was a pair of studio monitors
Переглядів 343Місяць тому
"Why not try a soundbar with my synths in the studio?" I thought to myself. "In theory a soundbar with decent bass has everything you need, and the long flat shape might fit on the shelves a bit better." And if you don't need masses of volume, the Yamaha YSP-1400 might just tick all your boxes.

    Kawai in all it's wonderful weirdness, I wish there was some software to help program this thing and act as a librarian. The 'chorus' and 'top note' and to a lesser extent the 'vibrato' functions can really bring to life what otherwise can be a little lack lustre sounds, but pass that through some old multi effects units and it can be very interesting indeed.

    Este teclado/sintetizador de Casio de los 90 fue una joya para la época, sin mucho esfuerzo podría atreverme en mi humilde opinión decir qué podría haber competido con el Yamaha DX7 , salvando las diferencias por supuesto, un sistema de banco de sonidos bastante completos, con efectos que podrían competir con cualquier sintetizador de alta gama. Esto es una demostración que Casio cuando quería sacar teclados buenos no hacía solo juguetes. Saludos desde La Rioja, Argentina.

    In sample zone A, I'm finding that the pitch shifting is also affecting the tempo. Is this expected? I am aware that's a typical audio effect (as to shift the pitch up, you speed up the audio) but also that it's possible to process audio tones without affecting the tempo. I think I hear the same in your samples (ie 8 minute mark). Can anyone confirm? Is this possible to fix, as it really limits being able to use samples with a rhythm in a song. Thanks so much!
