Yamaha KX5 KX 5 KX-5 Keytar Remote Synth Keyboard For Sale

***THIS ITEM HAS BEEN SOLD***

This is a video showing my for sale (auction here: http://bit.ly/bMPZow ) Yamaha KX-5 Keytar in operation on June 20th, 2010 both to prove to potential eBay purchasers that it works and to show some of the expressive potential using the pitch bend ribbon and modulation wheel in combination with one another.

Backing guitar and bass were also performed with the KX-5 (drums performed on a Novation Xiosynth), and all the sounds you hear are Software Instruments in GarageBand '08 being generated by Native Instruments' free Kore Player, using only the free instruments they bundle with the player--get it here: http://bit.ly/tI2Sg

Shame that i had to be sold..........

@deathslice60 instruments come and go--the real thing that matters is what you do with them, and so far the AX-Synth has been way more useful for me due to its onboard sounds

Hi! I have a question! Is it possible to use Yamaha KX5 on macbooj to work with logic pro or garage band ?

Thank you,

Ronnie

[jesselsbond]

@ronnied1 yes, as long as you have a 5-pin MIDI interface for your computer you can use it with Logic and GB

[zzzxtreme]

are the keys enough for most songs? (for guitar solo)

[jesselsbond]

@zzzxtreme yes, I've found the number of keys on the KX-5 to be sufficient for most one-handed playing... for two-handed playing, 49 keys (like on the Roland AX-Synth) is definitely better

@jesselsbond

I see, Well that was a very nice instrument

[jesselsbond]

@mouthyweasel ha, amazing comment...

[mouthyweasel]

don't sell it. It's better to be broke and yet have this thing with which you can obviously distribute beauty and bury the drab with vibrancy.

@ThePerlude I actually did successfully build a 49-key keytar with a lightweight wood body as I described, and it's pretty great, but I've started playing open mics and so I needed something with onboard sounds--thus I've come around and bought a Roland AX-Synth... Not sure what I'll do with the one I built--maybe modify it to be a 36-key keytar instead for more comfortable/exclusively one-handed playing (since the Ax-synth has the 49-key two-handed thing covered)...
