A versatile little keyboard. Deceptively low cost, but loads of features. Works as a MIDI keyboard and external instrument too. Very neat. Original article at : coolcatukes.co... Amazon link : www.amazon.co....
I got one 2 days ago. I'm a beginner, practicing piano on my own ... it took me an hour of fiddling around to be able to make a track with one drum, one guitar and one synth. It's so much fun.
I recently got one to practice fingering and chords, I'm a complete novice and want to get a full size digi piano, I figured this would be a greay way to test my commitment to learning as well as offer a way to practice on the go as I have to travel regularly and fitting a full size piano isnt exactly easy. Great video and love the cards you printed, something I'd like to say for others who are interested in this, is that you can also tune the keys as well as turn off control output from the keyboard, so if you have this hooked up to a pc as a controller the sound can come through your pc output but not the keyboard speaker using just usb, I use this as a controller for some software so I found this to be useful.
Thanks for the review and the cheat-cards. Got my A50 for 50€ (pre owned) yesterday and now am fiddling around. Comes with me on vacation next week as my personal little easter-egg. :) .... besides my uke. :)
I love the cards. I think I should make one with just the set list for songs for quick looping with my rc2 or send it to the zoom r8! I prefer simple and dawless setup and some of these sounds are super dank! Be posting soon.
Sounds great, I'm a bass player but have a damaged wrist and this little keyboard could enable me to still play bass notes but would I be able to play it through a PA?.
I have a PSS-A50, JD-Xi, black CT-S1 and an original Go:Keys. I will probably get the new Go:Keys 5, maybe a Casio CT-S500, and later an RD-08 and Yamaha CK61, which is essentially a full size 61 key Reface series keyboard in one and a lot more.
Hello and thank you for the review and cheat sheets. Can a50 work as a sound module through usb-midi to control the a 50 sounds from another controller? Thanks
Dear Simon! I have also a pss-a50. Did you notice that if you use it in sensitivity 1-2 or 3 some sounds are louder than others? And you have to press very much the buttons to her the sound of the isntrument. If you switch off the sensitivity it works fine. Does anyone lese have the same problem?
I think it would depend on what you are looking for as a step up. A few more sounds are the main thing you’ll get. You might be better to look at something with full size keys, as they are easier for playing chords. More money, but might be better for you. Casio have some great options with full size keys.
@@phootoI agree. For the price, very decent. Don't expect top tier quality, but years ago, much more expensive keyboards were the same. So for the price and portability and that you can use this as a controller keyboard for a DAW is awesome, too. You just need a micro USB to whatever USB cable to what is equipped on your other device.
