The presenter is fantastic! It's such a treat to listen to someone who knows what he is talking about and can explain it such that a novice can understand. And such talent makes listening a pleasure.
Its funny. The keyboard sounds great and all, but the thing that really impressed me was the presenter. I'm glad that other people also recognized the guys skill in explaining the features.
One of the very best demos of a musical instrument I've ever seen. Played one of these today at GC (the 49), and I'll be back tomorrow to pick it up. Very cool.
He's dead on accurate. I bought it and I've figured out the cubase integration, and the keyboard really does offset the workload so that my 5 year old macbook air has no problem building a complex song. Just stick to midi tracks so that the computer isn't processing any sound. I'm happy with the mx49. And this was the video that convinced me
Me too! this guy is a legend! Good salesperson... never met him. Instantly like him... and he's amazing on the MX61. Looking forward to playing with this new puppy
this is way late but if anyone that wants to mod some of the sounds, the John Melas Sound driver is amazing for this Keyboard and really pushes this thing to the limits and does things that i didnt think this keyboard was capable of doing
From UK...a couple of hours ago I had a demo from a local shop and was v poor and I was disappointed with the MX... after this demo by a great pro....I'm gonna check it out again....many thanks John
This is the best product demo I've seen, and like others, I've seen MANY. Thank you for a perfectly explained video of a board I was on the fence about, but am now ready to buy.
Wow. The best, most understandable case I've ever heard for purchasing a synth like this instead of simply a keyboard controller. Excellent video. Excellent synth.
As a new keyboard player and wanting something light to carry with my horn gear, the MX49 gives me everything I need in such a compact device. The voicing are amazing.
This is honestly the best intro to/product demo video for a synthesizer keyboard that I've seen - Well done! I bought an MX 49 back in October 2013 in no small part because of *this* video.
Just got mine last week. As a fellow pianist/musician, I humbly thank you for sharing your knowledge, musicianship, and (obviously) your passion of instruments and "music making" with us all. Keep up all of your work! On another note, Wish I could have a jam session with ya! Your sound is phat man!
This is the best presentation of a product that i have ever seen. You just sold me a yamaha mx49 or mx61. Im going to buy 1 of the 2 as soon as i finish typing this.
I just want to reiterate what others have said- the presenter (I'll go back to learn his name- he earned it) is the best I've seen ... I never felt like I was being sold, but his presentation sold me.
Wow, I got chewed out for liking this man and his talent. Hey, I'm not married, YOU can't chew me out. It's all good. We don't all have to like this demo but I'd pay real money to see this man even as a soloist performing because He is cool and his talent is obvious. I don't know what anyone could do to present this keyboard any better.
I loved this so much. and if you wait to the very end you get the funniest bit, "Its sanity, the sanity button" just love the expression on his face! Good job man! I want one. Why have I been buying only Arturia keyboards all this time I'll never know. This is affordable and just brilliant sounds.
Great performer. Great explanation of the product. Great guy. Thank you so much for your time and your music samples are great as well. I'll definitely get one MX49 for myself.
Wow Phil is great! So glad l clicked on this video. A MUST listen in on layering sounds starts at 08.50 a dream this keyboard will soon grace my tiny studio in Germany
Excellent demo that would have been enhanced by overhead shots of what Dr. Clendenin was doing on the panel. And using a clip on mic rather than one in his face.
A far richer sound than the Korg Kross, no contest. I have heard that the MX has no Hammond overdrive setting, however you can do one of two things to fix this, run via external effects unit or use the YCB3 Hammond software comes with the keyboard. I only say this as I hate using laptops live so always plug external effects into my keys.
Something we don't talk about but need to. As you get older, and arthritis creeps in, you'll develop a real appreciation for synth style keyboards over piano style.
The connectivity (audio and MIDI) interface through a single USB at around 2:45 on this video was particularly helpful - more so than Yamaha's own web site!! I agree with other comments - excellent video and thanks.
Ok I dont care for Phil's playing. However, it does not help him that he is generating those aweful horn sounds and completely congested accompaniment. Does Yamaha believe these horrible tones help sell this garbage? His playing is choppy, at best. As for your being in a balloon. . . Chase all the rainbows you want. You are still you.
Cant believe i sold mines, I couldnt figure out how to record the built in sounds to my DAW but my dumbass was still a rookie and didnt know I needed to hook it up through midi to a pre amp smh. I miss it. Gonna buy another one.
What a great presentation! I just pulled the trigger on a Reface CP. I’m thinking about sending it back and getting this. If not this will be my next keyboard purchase.
When Phil says this is light weight he is not kidding. At 10 lbs. and ALL plastic construction with reduced keyboard key spacing a friend asked me if it took batteries. It doesn't. But if you use this thing at all you will all but want to cement it to your stand. This is because the design of the underside is molded and designed for tabletop use, much like a computer accessory. That said, the keyboard has some very compelling features and sounds. It is also clear that the reduced cost came, in part from a sacrice in structure.
I rarely comment... But, my hat is off to you sir... I've been looking for a good synthesizer for months now and almost All of the reviews that say in depth are Not actually in depth and I'm left with sometimes more answers than before I watched it...This time that is not the case... This was by far the Most helpful review/demo... This keyboard synthesizer is definitely top on my list along with a few from Korg and Roland. Thanks for this one...
I agree Mr Phil helped convince me to purchase a Moxf synth I used in Branson as my second KB. It's been a few years but I'm buying the next one for my daughter. Go MOTIF TONES. Love the B3 with rotary! He's got more soul than this white boy! Thanks Phil
Best demo ever. Thanks for showing the simple sounds like piano, Hammond organ (stereo) etc. So many demos show way too much synth nonsense. Love the "it's the attention to detail" that this keyboard has to offer. You sold me!...once I get it past my wife LOL
Yes..past demos with yourself have been with background noise and you cant really hear the keyboard...This is much better...Thank you so much you have made my mind up..i will buy an MX to accompany my Korg Triton...Ta
This demo was on point. 👍 Was deciding between this and the Roland GO KEYS... Yeah this is twice the price, but after this demo, I'm leaning towards this Yamaha.
The Yamaha MX49 is much better and has the better sounds! You can't edit anything on the Roland! Only the onboard 6 channel sequencer is interesting. But it only works in real time! The Yamaha is definitely the better keyboard 😊
@@ttt-toms_tipps_tricks Thanks for the confirmation! (Actually looking at the 61 key version as I'm looking at it for actually taking "piano lessons" and most local instructors are recommending 61 keys. ) So yeah, I just watched a demo of the Roland goKeys, I don't think I'll need random "swing jazz" rhythm accompaniment, a sequencer that any DAW software can do, or that horrible ribbon for a pitch bend wheel. Definitely getting the Yamaha!
I know this was 5 yrs ago. But this keyboard is in my Motif series of collections of keuboards and i use it daily. Awesome sounds. I also have the M06,MM6,i have this MX49 the MOXF6 and the MOX6 along with my MODX7. I also Pocess is a Hammond XB2,XK-1,XM1 Roland VK7 and Korg CX3 and BX3 2001 versions digital ones all my sounds
