Hello people. For beginners what should I buy? I don't know how to play piano. I am more interest about drums, but also some a bit sounds to create music, also I wanna using microphone. Also I need to save the music. Someone can give me advice about it please?
Thanks for this overview. Recently I have been watching a woman who plays 90s videogame tracks in her keytar, and that sparked my interest for this instrument.
Hi! One little thing: Steve Masakowski did NOT invent the Moog Liberation. What he did invent was a modified guitar that had keys on the frets which controlled a synthesizer. He called this the key-tar. Other than that, great video!
How exactly does this connect with a midi controller? Would be nice to see a diagram of the signal path. Also synths like the Microkorg, those are vocoders, so not the same as the talk box.
I‘m a bassist in a pop punk band (yes i know bassists typically fear keyboardists) but i think a keytarist and a guitarist would be REALLY nice instead of two guitarists Just imagine the guitarist giving a really nice powerful chord and the keytarist then do their magic and complement the chord so well with leads and just additional notes
Yes, keytar can be used as a strap-on keyboard (playing keyboard parts in a band or solo). However, there is another use; emulating a guitar. Here's what I mean: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lPX1iygYbto.html
Awesome clip, Ted and kel 😎 🎹 I’ve been checking out this keytar for quite some time. I’ve been thinking about purchasing this one. Especially since my brother owned a couple keytars himself
My biggest issue with keytars as a "jack-of-all-trades-musician" (but not a pro in any) the knowledge i have for piano handling doesent really match how i should play on keytars, i can play with hands in those positions on a guitar, but in a keytar i get my right hand way to much to the right to let muscle memory do its work. But yeah its cool.. Check out psuedo echos version of funky town.. Really cheese but i love it
Agree 100% . You are going to be uncomfortable and handicapped (doesn´t get better with time) but rocking a little tune will get you waaay more applauses than doing a great 2 hand performance on regular keyboard. Plus, you get to be on front (regular keyboardist are put on the back because is boring to watch them). So basically a keytar is like wearing heels: not practical, not cheap to buy but keeps audience eyes on you.
hello, maybe you can help me, when I record chord strikes with my midi usb keyboard on the second pass of the loop the notes remain to be played as if I had maintained the chord from the beginning to the end of the measure.... Where is the problem ? Thanks for your help .
I"m pretty good at walking around and playing with a keytar. I use it mostly for show towards the end of a gig. Especially if I'm soloing. Other than that I like to be stationary since I play multiple keys.
I think 💭 the KEYTAR is such a cool musical instrument 🎸. It is like 👍🏻 a guitar 🎸 and a keyboard 🎹 combined so you’re free to move around during the performance 🎭 of a song 🎶. I think 💭 that the KEYTAR is just _c r i m i n a l l y u n d e r r a t e d ,_ if you ask me.
I totally agree with you, buddy. It's a pain to hang this thing around the neck and play fluently like a normal keyboard. I own two Keytars (Roland Edge), and it gives me extensive shoulder pain and numbness after playing for just 5 minutes. This is too heavy a model for the purpose it's designed for. Only those guys built like a cow or bull can hang this darn thing and play for several hours or until the battery dies off. 😂
yo! What vocal processor/harmoniser did you use for the main vocals? I've been trying to fid one that sounds similiar to daft punk's from something about us and digital love, you seem to have captured the sound perfectly!
Our Yamaha keyboard is a gem. It has really loud speakers and heaps of settings so I can play Hunchback of Notre Dame or disco synth or turn it into a guitar or strings ... and it even has drums! Or whatever I want. Is it too heavy to lug around? Probably yes unless you are a large male. But that's what you have friends for, right? Two people can shift it no problem.
Coke-bottle glasses nerdy geeks? Knee high white socks and sandals? These boys need to go to a few red-light districts and drink a bottle or two. Is that dog next to him dead? It hasn't moved. What has this nerdy geek been doing to that dog?
Representing Bass gang here: playing keyboard with only one hand is what keyboard players in a band should be doing 95% of the time anyway. Mix sounds like crap if you have two instruments trying to fill the low end. Obviously you need both hands for parts when the bass doesn't play.
I'm a keyboard player, but also a self-proclaimed attention-wh*re. Getting a keytar allowed me to have so much more stage presence without having to change my instrument. Granted, having a keyboard on a stand will always be more practical: you can have more keys, multiple keyboards, you can change patches more easily... but whenever a song _can_ be done on a keytar, it is totally worth it.
As a guitarist and a guy who sorta can handle a keyboard, this feels like the absolute perfect instrument to me for it's portability (both while performing and during transport), way wider range of sounds compared to a guitar (discounting guitar pedals because they are extra gear and thus need their own transportation along with the guitar), it's midi capability, the fact that it's already a comfortable stance for me and the sheer cool factor
