Sabes hablar español ? tengo un problema de hardware con mi psr-e403 sobre el yamaha usb mdi driver, que no lo reconoce en ningun computador de mi casa.
hey all of u, I want to ask u.. I have this keyboard at home, but the disc drive was lost, how so I can download this keyboard drive??? coz I need that.. if u have the drive or the place where I can to download free, please contact me in yora.sws@gmail.com , please I need your help..
can you please give us a tutorial in order to use effciently e403, I mean how to create a new style et particularly how to save it to e403 keyboard because this is not obvious and I serached Internet and have found no explanation of how to save a song or a style from PC to e403.
Thank you very much for the nice styles you showed us.
It's perfect for that: e403/413 has 1 USB for both input and output and it works better than common MIDI connectors. But to connect it to MIDI hardware (f.ex another keyboard, sampler, synth module...), a computer is needed.
I think it has really great piano, strings and woodwind samples but no onboard synth which is really a pity. and the organ sounds aren't really great either. I bought a Korg r3 for my synth needs and in combination these two are a great team.
thanks. i appreciate the info. ill have to try playin around with it some more. what beats are you using at 2.20 and 2.40?? i never cared for the beats that came on it. if your looking for a cool sound generator, try using "nexus" on FL studio. it doesn't come with the program, but can be added and has some really cool Arpeggios and loops.
not really beveling it. i have one and have had it over a year, now i have it linked to my computer and use it to make music through FL studio "producer edition" and ive never been able to get anything close to that from the keyboard alone. but if there is something im missing then by all means let me know. thanks.
I've just bought one of these and I'm really looking forward to playing it because it seems to have so many professional features at such a low price!
i'll buy an e143 too next week. I can't wait until next wk if i listen this "music", what you created. But i have a question, is there a lead guitar sound and some rock/hard rock style?
Yes there is, although realistic hard style is only available on very expensive keyboards. To get realistic guitar I mix "Dist. Gt #41" with 30% of "Hi-Q Bass#48" with
with high resonance frequency to simulate distrortion. I mean, built-in styles and sounds should be improved(IMO), so you'll have to experiment with sound combinations. Then, If you want to go further you can download new styles from the net or create your own styles.
Thank you! I'm not Yamaha seller nor partner (by now) but as soon as you get the e413, just contact me and I'll send you the two STY files of your choice. Consider it a present for your good taste.
Here are the new styles I created (not on this movie):
Oxygene 2, 4 or 6, Fade to Gray - Visage, Midnight Express - Giorgio Moroder, The Vision - Mario Piu, Mr X - Ultravox, Ultravox based techno, I feel love - Donna Summer, Night in Tula - Tangerine Dream, Magnetic Fields Part I - J.M. Jarre, Dolce Vita : Giorgio Moroder, Por que te vas - Jeanette, Enola Gay - O.M.D.
if you want to know how electro and trance can be played on e403/413 click on the blue link from suscribe frame (top-right)
NUEVOS EJEMPLOS:
Si quieren saber como emplear el e403/413 para producir música trance y electro, pulsen el raton sobre el link azul en el panel "suscribirse" (arriba a la derecha)
No se pueden meter más voces pero he conseguido mejorar los instrumentos añadiendoles vibrato para armonizar las voces, especialmente en dual. Al cargar los estilos sty que he creado, los instrumentos suenan mucho mejor mientras tocas. Para hacerte una idea, he conseguido imitar el famoso sonido del Polymoog llamado "Vox Humana" (mas adelante subiré ejemplos de patrones para tocar varios temas de Ultravox y Gary Numan y podrás comprobarlo)
Me encanta esa sintesis que tiene, y aparte las voces Cool! y Sweet!. buen teclado por buen precio.
Tengo una duda, yo quisiera expandir las voces usando una laptop para tocar en vivo. uso "Cackewalk Sonar" con instrumentos virtuales en una laptop 2g ram 2.13ghz y win vista. pero siempre tengo problemas de latencia, aun con los drivers asio4all. quisiera saber como se hace o que hago mal. gracias
mmmh, lo estas haciendo bien y es bena idea amplia los sonidos pero los instrumentos virtuales absorben muchos ciclos de reloj segun su calidad y son autenticos "quema portatiles". En cualquier caso, los instrumentos virtuales solo te serviran para strings o pads largos en los que no se nota mucho la latencia. Además, windows es demasiado inestable para usarlo en directo. Yo me plantearia adquirir un modulo de sonido de rack, con ello tendrías un teclado completísimo para directo y estudio.
El e4x3 solo tiene los sonidos del estándar MIDI e incluye síntesis (la verdad, por ese precio no encontrarás otro). Si lo que te interesa es adaptar el estándar a tus propias necesidades, comprate un módulo sampler (rack). El psr sería un teclado controlador excelente por incluir módulos de estilo automático del estándar sty que incluso puedes bajar de internet, o modificarlos como yo mismo hago.
can someone help me with this, im pretty noob at how keyboards work but i wonna record onto my laptop, atm i have a program called ableton but i cant get my computer to pick it up and record MIDI. i have the software to put songs onto the keyboard but i cant get the things i recorded onto my laptop. i just wonna record and put on my laptop, HELP!
If it is a PC you generally need to install a MIDI driver. Other than that, I haven't had too much trouble getting it to work. (Well, on my E413 I had to manually turn on the MIDI output -- it doesn't do that by default.)
Hey! I was wondering ... what's the right setting for the left knobs-thingy (pathetic, I know. I don't even know my own keyboard!) near the left speaker? To make it sound like a grand piano, I mean.
To get a "grand piano" put (A) knob at 0 = middle position and do the same for (B) knob. Then, push "portable grand" button.
A and B knobs assigned to cut-off(pressing "assign" button) can be used for realtime filter effects so, use it with synth sounds (not clasical instrument sounds)
in the song memory buttons, hold the record button and pres for exaple "1" to record the first line. in the song selection you can choose the user songs.
my sister got one for her birthday and loves it! is there a way to record something and speed it up using the synth? I'd like to learn so that i can experiment with it in my band (guitar is my instrument, so my knowledge of keyboards is limited)
Saw this on amazon and was wondering why it was so cheap (looking for a cheap but good board, not easy thing) and saw this. Then, by a huge coincidence my school mass ordered it and I was the first to use one, being the only specialising board player in the school. It is amazing and the synth functions are fantastic. The keys are silent when pressed unlike my bulky casio WK-3200 which is a big thing for me as I hate the clicking sound keys make when played in private. AMAZING board.
Saw this test and got e413 (e403 is hard to get) I know very little about keyboards, I can not play them yet. First 12 hrs I got a few midi files and put them onto it (USB). Then got the keyboard to teach me how to play them. Did have to convert a few from midi type "1" to "0" this was easy using "gn1to0". Also you have to tell the keyboard which track you want to learn so it can take some trial n error from the 16 possible tracks. Dual and knobs make creating synth type voices easy. Amazed.
You've got memory space for 5 user songs where you can record whatever you want but you can't add extra sounds (only built-in). You can record drums by hitting different keys, each key stars a sample (using drums). Then you can modify add delete any sequence and record another track, for ex. strings, and so on. Going to the point, e403 doesn't include tools for recording loops because you can do that with midi applications. There's also intelligent editors that record depending on insistence.
Thanks for checking that out man, I've recently ordered the E403 with the intention to teach myself, I have a lot of time on hand atm so I'm looking forward to persistant learning over the coming weeks.
I'm on amazon atm considering purchases, of course I've looked around as well but the E403 goes for £144 with free P&P and the adaptor whereas the cheapest I find the E413 is £165 without it and £10 shipping.
I'm assuming you know more than me so is the step up a significant step up for the amount of money, baring in mind it's about £30-40 and I'm already not sure about spending over £150.
I've read specifications and didn't find any diference except for the new control buttons. I think e413 is a revision to make easier music creation and real time playing.
You can add 5 midi of your choice. I think demo songs are only for demostrations. As I'm not a seller I prefer to make my own demo songs (midi files).
Hey, I think you know a lot of keyboards, do you know which synth it's better? the korg n364 or the korg karma? and can you recommend me some other of the same price?
Karma is better than n364. But, I prefer Korg Wavestation and it's cheaper (half the price I think). It's a pure synthesizer so you can't use create sequences or play styles but its sounds are great and amazing: you can morph a sound into another, create and play loops or samples forward and backward. Vangelis and Gary Numan use it (among a large list of famous musicians). The worst aspect is a somehow poor filter resonance but you can use morphing to solve the problem. 2b continued...
Nevertheless, there's another good "all-purposed and all-in-one" keyboard from korg... the PA (50, 80 or 1X), my favorite. You can compose, make arrangements and play full songs with all tracks with it.
Enjoy the following example, you won't believe it:
u made ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL Of that with that keybored??
does E403 have that thing where u record one bit.. and loop it so it keeps on playin and then u can play along to it in a different tune.. like hey ya by outkast has lots of different medlodies so u cud do that ..
and did u make all those sound on that keybored and record it?
Only E403 sounds are used in this demo. Some of the sequences were recorded directly on keyboard memory, some others using windows editor and the last one, using a midi program(I didn't mind about quality because I was trying my new keyboard). E403 is a very cheap kb, with minimum memory and a simple editor (you can only record songs, not loops) but connecting it to a computer with midi programs, you can create automatic styles like loops. then you can apply effects at runtime.
Yes, and filters and effects variations can be recorded in real-time if you want. Nevertheless, I prefer to use midi recording because notes and effects can be adjusted at any time in an easier way, and there is, practically, no memory limits.
There's also intelligent music editors that record loops getting notes depending on repetition insistence.
Then, you can send the midi file to e403 memory and play keyboard with loop accompaniment or convert it to a new style including variations.
I use musicsoft downloader, stylemaker and midi2style to record new styles (all are free). For editing midi files: I used Cubase but I prefer Cakewalk Sonar. If you don't want to buy a midi sequencer(they are very expensive) you can download Anvil Studio for free, it works pretty well but I don't know what happens with XG (extended MIDI).
Just bought this keyboard, had it on special at the music shop for £149 including stand and power adapter :) Sometimes we get a bargain in the UK david 01478. Now just got to learn to play it, having lots of fun with the trial version of Sequelized.
You can do it by recording new tracks to built-in sequencer but I prefer to record it on midi files or sequencer apps (on my computer) because it's easier and more maintainable. The best you can record on e403 are new styles for accompaniment.
If you refer to video: adobe after effects allows you to edit sound/music separately and macromedia flash allows you to synchronize video animation with music.
Hi 4Dsign. What is the different beetween the yamaha E403 and DGX-220?I am planning to buy with one of them. I am a beginner and living in Norway. The 220 cost around 170-200$ more than the the E403.
In the music store 220 cost around 700 $
E403 cost around 500.
Combine price and quality of them. Which one is best for a beginner like me?
Even if you're a beginner, with E403 you can play since the first day. It's a simple to use pattern keyboard (with automathic accompaniment). Step by step, you will learn to play music "by ear", without effort. If you want more, it includes a basic synthesizer system with easy to use realtime controls. Then, if you want to learn solfege, it includes a music learning system based on sheets that include exams.
Kaossilator can be very useful as a complement to create humanized effects but not to play with accuracy. Then, after a time using it, you'll miss a better chord and armony control in real time. For me, kaossilator would be very interesting to create drum and sound effects, not melody nor chords.
Arpeggiator types are built-in so you can't edit patterns. There are 50 types. It uses main and dual voice so it can be played with right hand (not with accompaniment).
E403 has an extensión to add synth possibilities to PSR standard. You'll find very good waves (saw, sinus, square and all realistic instruments can be edited with synth effects)
Resonance, Cutoff, Attack, Release
Effects(2-one for each voice): two types of Chorus, two flangers and nine reverbs.
Then harmony/embellishment effect can produce tremolos, duets, trios, block, country, octave, trill, tremolo and an echo/delay from 1/4 to 1/32.
Then you can add a Split voice from which key you want.
The worst: There's no LFO (for filter and oscilator vibrato) but some built-in instruments have a nice and realistic vibrato. Another inconvenient: tune is not voice independent(for doing sound beating) but you can simulate this effect.
...then, GaVox6, mine is not a song but a sequence of tests, my first ones. I hope you didn't write your comment to sell your Oasys keyboard... hehehehe!
GaVox, the Oasys of your Demo is one of the best synths, the player has talent, but the song isn't that interesting or creative for such an expensive synth.
with Dual voice. The best sounds can be done mixing 2 sounds (main voice and dual voice). Mixing a synth sound with a real instrument sound(sampler) is a good technique. for example try: voice=039(muted guitar) and dual=098(Saw.Lead synth) then set D.Reso=90 to 110(dual filter resonance) and that's all.
thanks :P i dont have it yet, but im asking for money (how bad lol) for my birthday so :P.. than i buy it incl. bag and X-standard thing, foot pedal etc.. (my english sucks idd :P)
dx is fm, e403 synth specification seems to be kept in secret because I didn't find any description on the manual and elsewhere. (My english sucks, sorry)
I'm not FM enthusiast because sounds are too metallic for my needs. FM is based on multiples waves and you can create very nice sounds with no needs of large amount of memory but, nowadays, memory is not a problem. I think e403 is better.
You can get very very good quality sawtooths. But if you want to get a fat "supersaw" (like virus synth) you cannot detune dual voice independently but you can simulate it by adding flanger or chorus fx to dual voice.
There's another amazing synth sound, the 141 = AcidSyn, I found it applying cutoffs to all sounds, it responds perfectly to filter fx. Thanks for your comments!
Hi. It was a secret but I'll revel it. The basis is voice:039 (Mute Gtr) + dual voice:265 and using the same octave. The effect (I'm sure you know it) is Echo1/4. I used also the bend wheel and cutoff filter (step by step). It's somehow difficult if you have to play the sequence at the same time (with right hand) but with practice it becomes easy.

what is the difference between the psr e403 and the ypt 400, I got the ypt 400 thinking it was the psr e403 =S
robertosunga 3 years ago
User guide is about both keyboards, so I think it's exactly the same but I've never tried ypt-400.

can this keyboard make a full beat...like hip hop beat...reply bac
shinnaraku2 3 years ago
You've got memory space for 5 user songs where you can record whatever you want but you can't add extra sounds (only built-in). You can record drums by hitting different keys, each key stars a sample (using drums). Then you can modify add delete any sequence and record another track, for ex. strings, and so on. Going to the point, e403 doesn't include tools for recording loops because you can do that with midi applications. There's also intelligent editors that record depending on insistence.

Thanks for checking that out man, I've recently ordered the E403 with the intention to teach myself, I have a lot of time on hand atm so I'm looking forward to persistant learning over the coming weeks.
Cheers again, Tom

I'm on amazon atm considering purchases, of course I've looked around as well but the E403 goes for £144 with free P&P and the adaptor whereas the cheapest I find the E413 is £165 without it and £10 shipping.
I'm assuming you know more than me so is the step up a significant step up for the amount of money, baring in mind it's about £30-40 and I'm already not sure about spending over £150.
Thanks
PCgamer06 3 years ago
I've read specifications and didn't find any diference except for the new control buttons. I think e413 is a revision to make easier music creation and real time playing.
4Dsign 3 years ago
Don't buy e403 now, psr e413 has just appeared on the market. (there is not a great difference but the price is almost the same)
4Dsign 3 years ago
One Question. How come a smaller keyboard, the PSR E313 has 102 preloaded songs for demo and this one only 30?
Is there a way to load the rest?

You can add 5 midi of your choice. I think demo songs are only for demostrations. As I'm not a seller I prefer to make my own demo songs (midi files).

Hey, I think you know a lot of keyboards, do you know which synth it's better? the korg n364 or the korg karma? and can you recommend me some other of the same price?
kernelcoem 3 years ago
Karma is better than n364. But, I prefer Korg Wavestation and it's cheaper (half the price I think). It's a pure synthesizer so you can't use create sequences or play styles but its sounds are great and amazing: you can morph a sound into another, create and play loops or samples forward and backward. Vangelis and Gary Numan use it (among a large list of famous musicians). The worst aspect is a somehow poor filter resonance but you can use morphing to solve the problem. 2b continued...
4Dsign 3 years ago
Nevertheless, there's another good "all-purposed and all-in-one" keyboard from korg... the PA (50, 80 or 1X), my favorite. You can compose, make arrangements and play full songs with all tracks with it.
Enjoy the following example, you won't believe it:

u made ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL Of that with that keybored??
does E403 have that thing where u record one bit.. and loop it so it keeps on playin and then u can play along to it in a different tune.. like hey ya by outkast has lots of different medlodies so u cud do that ..
and did u make all those sound on that keybored and record it?
kinglynx 3 years ago
Only E403 sounds are used in this demo. Some of the sequences were recorded directly on keyboard memory, some others using windows editor and the last one, using a midi program(I didn't mind about quality because I was trying my new keyboard). E403 is a very cheap kb, with minimum memory and a simple editor (you can only record songs, not loops) but connecting it to a computer with midi programs, you can create automatic styles like loops. then you can apply effects at runtime.
4Dsign 3 years ago
right...
so i can record my songs.. and then play them back.. and wen i play them back i can filter effetcs with them and stuff?
kinglynx 3 years ago
Yes, and filters and effects variations can be recorded in real-time if you want. Nevertheless, I prefer to use midi recording because notes and effects can be adjusted at any time in an easier way, and there is, practically, no memory limits.
There's also intelligent music editors that record loops getting notes depending on repetition insistence.
Then, you can send the midi file to e403 memory and play keyboard with loop accompaniment or convert it to a new style including variations.

By the way 4Dsign what program do you use on your PC? Sounds good :)
ElroyHarvey 3 years ago
I use musicsoft downloader, stylemaker and midi2style to record new styles (all are free). For editing midi files: I used Cubase but I prefer Cakewalk Sonar. If you don't want to buy a midi sequencer(they are very expensive) you can download Anvil Studio for free, it works pretty well but I don't know what happens with XG (extended MIDI).
4Dsign 3 years ago
Just bought this keyboard, had it on special at the music shop for £149 including stand and power adapter :) Sometimes we get a bargain in the UK david 01478. Now just got to learn to play it, having lots of fun with the trial version of Sequelized.

How do you record something to what you recorded already? Like add stuff.
jheat239 3 years ago
You can do it by recording new tracks to built-in sequencer but I prefer to record it on midi files or sequencer apps (on my computer) because it's easier and more maintainable. The best you can record on e403 are new styles for accompaniment.
4Dsign 3 years ago
If you refer to video: adobe after effects allows you to edit sound/music separately and macromedia flash allows you to synchronize video animation with music.

Hi 4Dsign. What is the different beetween the yamaha E403 and DGX-220?I am planning to buy with one of them. I am a beginner and living in Norway. The 220 cost around 170-200$ more than the the E403.
In the music store 220 cost around 700 $
E403 cost around 500.
Combine price and quality of them. Which one is best for a beginner like me?
The sound quality is really important for me..
I need your tips:)
wildhorse78 3 years ago
is this hard to operate and play if you have not that much musical knowledge
GrayFox14085 3 years ago
Hi GrayFox:
Even if you're a beginner, with E403 you can play since the first day. It's a simple to use pattern keyboard (with automathic accompaniment). Step by step, you will learn to play music "by ear", without effort. If you want more, it includes a basic synthesizer system with easy to use realtime controls. Then, if you want to learn solfege, it includes a music learning system based on sheets that include exams.

cool man how much does this badboy cost
GrayFox14085 3 years ago
From 220 to 300 eur in Spain.

ok should i but this keyboard or the korg kaossilator
GrayFox14085 3 years ago
Kaossilator can be very useful as a complement to create humanized effects but not to play with accuracy. Then, after a time using it, you'll miss a better chord and armony control in real time. For me, kaossilator would be very interesting to create drum and sound effects, not melody nor chords.

thanks i just ordered one of these keyboards
GrayFox14085 3 years ago
Great vid!
How does the arpeggiator work? Can you use it like a real synth or what?
Orchid85 3 years ago
Arpeggiator types are built-in so you can't edit patterns. There are 50 types. It uses main and dual voice so it can be played with right hand (not with accompaniment).
E403 has an extensión to add synth possibilities to PSR standard. You'll find very good waves (saw, sinus, square and all realistic instruments can be edited with synth effects)
Resonance, Cutoff, Attack, Release
Effects(2-one for each voice): two types of Chorus, two flangers and nine reverbs.
4Dsign 3 years ago
Then harmony/embellishment effect can produce tremolos, duets, trios, block, country, octave, trill, tremolo and an echo/delay from 1/4 to 1/32.
Then you can add a Split voice from which key you want.
The worst: There's no LFO (for filter and oscilator vibrato) but some built-in instruments have a nice and realistic vibrato. Another inconvenient: tune is not voice independent(for doing sound beating) but you can simulate this effect.

GaVox, the Oasys of your Demo is one of the best synths, the player has talent, but the song isn't that interesting or creative for such an expensive synth.

robcoaster2 4 years ago
with Dual voice. The best sounds can be done mixing 2 sounds (main voice and dual voice). Mixing a synth sound with a real instrument sound(sampler) is a good technique. for example try: voice=039(muted guitar) and dual=098(Saw.Lead synth) then set D.Reso=90 to 110(dual filter resonance) and that's all.

hi im tgettin a talk box and im wonderin if i should get this or somthin older like dx series and this is a fm synth right?
hallal55 4 years ago
dx is fm, e403 synth specification seems to be kept in secret because I didn't find any description on the manual and elsewhere. (My english sucks, sorry)
4Dsign 4 years ago
so you would reccomend dx or e403 for talkbox
hallal55 4 years ago
I'm not FM enthusiast because sounds are too metallic for my needs. FM is based on multiples waves and you can create very nice sounds with no needs of large amount of memory but, nowadays, memory is not a problem. I think e403 is better.
4Dsign 4 years ago
so can i get good sawtooth sounds with the e403 for talk box
hallal55 4 years ago
You can get very very good quality sawtooths. But if you want to get a fat "supersaw" (like virus synth) you cannot detune dual voice independently but you can simulate it by adding flanger or chorus fx to dual voice.

There's another amazing synth sound, the 141 = AcidSyn, I found it applying cutoffs to all sounds, it responds perfectly to filter fx. Thanks for your comments!
4Dsign 4 years ago
Hi. It was a secret but I'll revel it. The basis is voice:039 (Mute Gtr) + dual voice:265 and using the same octave. The effect (I'm sure you know it) is Echo1/4. I used also the bend wheel and cutoff filter (step by step). It's somehow difficult if you have to play the sequence at the same time (with right hand) but with practice it becomes easy.
