Michel Voncken on the PSR K1

[monia123kiss]

Das ist good keyboard;)

[piggemz]

it should have peformance assistant autotune for the karaoke

[Amissimal]

Hahaha just the kb for me

[2176goku]

HELLO ,,I AM ECUATORIAN BUT I LIVE IN NEWARK NJ ...I NEDD MEMORY CARD TO MY PSR-K1 .....ANY INFORMATION PLEASE ..( Romulo.86@live.com ) tankyou...

[deliquenme]

I don't get you, you say this is a joke of a keyboard, in my opinion a good musician can perform on any type of instrument or toy, on anything that can reproduce notes, those features are there but on top of that is a fully functional keyboard with voices and styles, you don;t need to use karaoke or performance assistance, you can only use it as a piano, and it performs great. Those are some bonus features, but you are to retarded to understand that.

[jaworskij]

It has a colour display?

[dejanews]

@jaworskij yeah! Blue and gray ;-)

[best1212121]

1:21 lol!!!!!!!

[mima14031985]

Michel clearly likes the Performance Assistant :-D

[sanforall]

Voncken sounds like Jim Reeves sometimes... Waw

[best1212121]

i have a yamaha psr s910

[dalviel]

ol' Michel's put on some weight =P

[cristiroland]

e un jaf de orga:))

[deliquenme]

@cristiroland De ce spui asta?

[cristiroland]

@deliquenme pentru ca nu are nici discheta abia merg ritmuri in ea sa le incarci iti ia ceva timp...sunete nu prea le are rasarite...mai bine decat asta iti mai pui bani si iti iei gw7 nou si e roland;) si sa fim seriosi la clapele fara sampler rolandu domina:)

[deliquenme]

@cristiroland Te contrazic, are un vecin Roland GW7 si sincer nu e buna de nimic, e o jucarie, sunetele alea nu sunt nici pe departe profesionale, pianul suna ca la jucariile alea facute de Delson, are functii mai putine chiar si ca PSR e313. Nu stiu ce sa zic de K1 pentru ca nu am vazut pana acum dar daca are sunetele pe care le gasesti si la e413 si e423 atunci merita fiecare banutz. Numai tonurile Sweet! si Cool! pe care le gasesti si la Tyros merita fiecare banutz.

[Oveyopp]

@cristiroland Te inseli foarte tare.

Eu am aceasta clapa din 2006 si credema ca e chiar asa cum o vezi in videoclip.

Iti mai spun ceva, PSR sunt destule, dar K1 a fost numai una, stii ce are interesant? ca chiar poti invata pe ea, cred ca a fost un model unicat, ceva gen serie mica si atat.

Am tinut nunta cu ea si cu inca o Yamaha, ceva gen 450, si a iesit ceva de vis (cu lautari bineinteles, cu nu afoni)

Daca vrei mai multe despre ea iti voi spune.

Numai bine si Pace de sus.

[clanwsdarkside]

thats such a fail the keyboard is cool but cmon playing fake?....

[jkp1967]

Hi. I am about to purchase my first Yamaha keyboard. Which is the better model to have, the PSR-K1 or the PSR-E403/E413? Thanks.

[Bethos1247]

The K1 is already out of production. If you don't need to connect a microphone, go with the E413. It's a great keyboard will loads of features. You can learn to play and if you are an advanced user, you have many options to play around with the styles and filter settings.

The E413 sounds great, too. You even have some so-called Yamaha Sweet! voices.

[jesusfreakmusic]

E403 for so far I know, had that one but still, switched to DGX-630

[ponokefalosify]

I know all the songs of this keyboard because is my keyboard!!!! :)

1). Against All Odds

2). Englishman In New York - (Time: 1.50)

3). Can Help Falling In Love - (Time: 0.32)

4). Hard Days Night

These songs is a sample of karaoke because is a karaoke machine

[ubersouthpark]

[GabrielKai]

UB40 version.

[Tkypianoman]

hehe ... sem comentarios ...

[mp3boss33]

this is BOMB

[saricapasa]

for only beginners! If you are proffessional musician, this keyboard is not suitable for you. because it is a toy!

[firewalled1951]

If you were professional you wouldn't be watching youtube demos like this.

You are so sophisticated.

[luigiperso]

that's bullshit, Voncken is a professional in his own way,and as far as taste, I have studied off Arnold Schoenberg's books and listen to anything. You are just a snotty egghead who thinks that 'sophisticated' means 'better' , especially when 'sophisticated ' means just ' I like ONE kind of music and I think I know better than anyone does'

[luigiperso]

Voncken is just doing a demo of a beginner's keyboard....it does not mean that he's not professional, the guy can play

[ChanticleerHegemony]

@firewalled1951 So I take it you are not a pro then?

[purt1f]

hahahahah,super Demo natural!

[remakejust4you]

HE IS GREAT!!!!!

[yuenne]

i want the englishman in ny, performed by michel voncken

[pornoloverman]

the guy is so awesome

great demonstrator, probably great salesman too

[alexinanutshell]

"You Can even CLEAN the keyboard while you play it!" WOW!

[ds409]

Well , I have the PSRK1 ...

But how can I improve it , I mean how can I add voices or styles ?????

~~DS409~~

[saricapasa]

Have you got a PC?

you can download styles and voices at the Yamaha internet site. Then you must connect your keyboard with PC. I have a psr K1. But I don't love it.

[ds409]

Well , I tried to , but only midi files songs worked !

by the way , I don't like PSR K1 too

Its only a standard keyboard

~~DS409~~

[mindorofan]

Wow - performance assistance? Why did I learn still the good old handwork on a hammond M-100? People who can't play without the help, they even can't do it with the computer help. My midis are in my head, not in the instrument...

Karaoke? You can have it cheaper by buying Videoke-VCDs in South-East Asia...

[saricapasa]

you are the an idiot

[musician788]

yeah IDIOTS ITS A LEARNING KEYBOARD OR JUST A HAVE FUN FOR A WHILE KEYBOARD, NOT A REALLY SERIUOS KEYBOARD LIKE THE TYROS 2 THAT IS REALLY A PROFESSIONAL WORKSTATION.

[saricapasa]

is the keyboard bad for beginning?

[Kingpinmaster1966]

No, for a beginner it's a quite good keyboard with lot's of functions that won't set you back the price of a decent second hand car like the Tyros models who costs here in the Netherlands up to € 4000,-

[saricapasa]

thank you very much.

[Kingpinmaster1966]

You're welcome.

The Tyros has much more functions but it has no learningfunctions build in it.

And as i have mentioned earlyer, i would not risk € 4000,- if playing a keyboard is not your cup of tea.

If it turns out that you got the feel for playing you can always switch to a Tyros.

But for a learning player i would not buy a Tyros.

You have to work your way trough 240 pages of manual instructions to figure out what the Tyros can do!!!!!

[saricapasa]

i have bought psr k1. but ı can't use midi connection. have you ever try midi?

[Kingpinmaster1966]

No, i never had a keyboard with a Midi connection.

[saricapasa]

thank you again

[Kingpinmaster1966]

In the manual is a topic about Midi.

Maybe that helps.

[Djustraait]

I have seen this video before, and I still don't understand how this ever got passed Yamaha's marketing management. I mean, the keyboard itself is a joke as far as the "Performance Assistant" goes, but then Michel takes that ridiculous "feature" and ridicules it by showing you "how you can even clean your keys while 'playing' the instrument."

I guess Yamaha was keen on destroying their image as keyboard-manufacturer that should be taken serious.

[Djustraait]

By the way, they further destroyed it to ground-level by introducing S700 and S900 models. Keyboards NOBODY understands why they were developed, since there is no logical succession whatsoever coming from PSR1500/PSR3000.

So what's next? "Tyros 3", which will be mainly a Tyros 2 with three more Megavoices? (Because that's basically what you get when you trade your 3000 for a 900. And loose a lot of money in the process.)

[Kingpinmaster1966]

There are millions of people who like to play music on a keyboard but hasitate because they think ist's hard to learn.

For those people it's a good keyboard to learn playing.

O.K. the Tyros models offer a lot more functions but it takes alomst up to a week to figure out the manual!!!!!!

The Tyros keyboards have so many features it's way to difficult for a novice to grasp.

[Enfeeblement]

What's so hard to understand...You have entertainer keyboards and workstations. The first is something like this or the Tyros to play at old folks homes (no offense tho) and the other to make music. Both do what they're ment for.

[BEEFYBAYONET]

I'm real glad I'm surrounded by such immense natural talent that those who are so critical of this video and keyboard no doubt have.

You should be pleased that people at least have a desire to learn and get enjoyment out of it and such patronising, smug and "clever" comments aren't helpful to anyone.

[mangoband]

Come on you guys dont "player Hate"

 ...Appreciate..!!!

[maxtopia]

guess those features were designed for drunks or mentally retarded people -- regarding the audience who must lack some senses to enjoy this, as well as the performer who, as suggested, doesn't even need to know what the hell he is doing.

[spicyswiss33]

I don't understand the point of this type of machine (I can't call this an "instrument".. Is it a piano? A jukebox? karaoke? Would be better to have the same machine without keyboard. Here everybody can play using any part of the body.. Michel could have use other part than the hand, that would have been more fun!! Thanks YAMAHA, that's how we distruct further the image of musicians playing on nice keyboards like the T2...

[ChibiWargy]

Emm, that keyboard is a LEARNING KEYBOARD. That's not for musical production, like MOTIF :P

[Superphilipp]

It's one fo those idiotic entertainer-keyboards that people can use to play at weddings to the sheer horror of people with a GOOD taste of music.

[Superphilipp]

And also, it's for dickheads who want to be the king dickheads at dickhead parties.

[pianoman06]

hip hop grove....ok thats nice lmao

[zoomckng]

Michel 'Usher' Voncken ...wohoo! :-) He's fun

[joffryarthur]

Your movie is really funny! I'm a pianist so my interest is more the Yamaha GT 2.

Good luck in love live and music!

[ezlow2]

easy easy song arranjer! i cannot sing that well.. xD
