Yamaha PSR e403's most extreme challenge: Gary Numan's Cars.

[68django]

I got one of these in 2007, I thought I would just mess around with it, but I have used it in the studio and been blown away by some of the sounds I got out of it. Nice video, shows me how much I still have to learn, I'm a bass player, but love the keys.

How on earth did you get the phased/unphased v.humana sound from a 403?

@electronicballast

You exactly understood the goal of the movie:

I used double filtering at different frequencies to simulate a "va-et-vient" phasing; the

subtle vibrato increases the effect.

I'll soon publish tips and styles on my website.

Thanks!

It's a good machine although factory styles require some retouches. If you don't find the styles interesting enough, let me know and I'll try to help you. Thanks!

I love this track.

You,ve done a good job playing this,sounds great :-)

Hey WELL DONE is the least I can say. NEVER mind those who don't like it, thay CANT do better. How did you record such an accurate & indeed BRILLIANT version? Nice keyboard. I have a handful of nice keyboards, I play a lot of Gary Numan, Kraftwerk, record bits of my own stuff, sing & play for elderly groups the old classics just as a hobby though. I'm about to get a Juno G that has a sound just like Gary N uses, wonderful synt so I looking forward to getting this stunner.

Cheers from Rich

Impressive none the less :)

[howardmarriott]

That, my friend, is very impressive!! Excellent stuff :-)

Cheers!

You're quite aware of difficulty level here, "cars" is one of the best examples to tests a keyboard. ;)

[liabivic]

is it possible to use it as a midi keyboard????thx m8

[4Dsign]

E403 cant be connected to Midi hardware directly except using a computer (as a bridge - because it only has 1 USB for input and output).

[Aaronator01]

You can't export on the 403, just import midi... which sucks for us composers. The biggest thing I dislike about the keyboard. Not only that, but there isn't enough customization on phasers, arpeggios, or instruments. The sound recording process leaves little options and can be a hassle to work around. I'm upgrading to a Motief xS7 when I get the money. Youtube that if you want to see some impressive keyboard work ^_^ This is just skill and time working within the confines of the unit.

It has to be said your getting a great sound out of that psr-403.somewhere in the house i have a yamaha psr510 old now but it was one of my first keyboards ,and wasnt cheap at the time.

[adamzPolski]

Wow !!! Cool style ;)

[fermio100]

Cool, did you make the style? Congrats!
