"..or at a campfire." Yeah, sure. That's the first situation that came to my mind as well. It's perfect for campfires.

Sweetwater provides the most practical reviews. They really think about the working musician.

I would love for Yamaha to release a flagship style 49-key version of this.

this is so amazing! ive been so much into keytars these days, ill definitely buy this!

Just bought one. Cheapest keytar in market n reminisce the old shs10. Play thru function is excellent for jamming along. I also hook it up to soft synth like Reason and you get endless sounds on it! Lightweight and cool looking but too bad it doesn’t have any funky colours like yellow or blue or green. Come on it’s 80s vibes !!

Daniel, you make every keyboard sound good. Awesome demo!

A sight-impaired gentleman and his completely convincing playing of one of the very realistic guitar samples on this thing-on TiKTok brought me here.

Wow, master musician! Excellent demo.

Saturday in the Park :)

Came for the review, stay for the sick solos

Damn I had no idea John Goodman was so stacked on the keytar

GREAT demo! thanks :D

Instead of another arranger, I might look at this for my next acquisition

I tried one of these at a local music store and little mice started to follow me around.

Have you tried the midi in on this? The manual is pretty skimpy - simply says it has it. I tried it figuring I could sequence any of the 30 voices but found instead that it seems to have a full 16 track 128 voice GM sound module! My guess is that the 30 front end voices are just presets with chorus etc from that module. I was influenced to buy this by your review and I'm glad I did. You felt that it was more than the overpriced glorified teen toy party trick that Yamaha seems to think is its market and I'm glad you did.I now route its midi out into my Axiom 49 and from there back into the Sonogenic's midi in. This allows me to wear and use it like a keytar while adding the faders, program changes etc from the Axiom to access that internal tone module. Thanks fro the thoughtful review and recommendation!

I'm pretty sure that with the addition of a DAW/VST setup that exponentially more than thirty sounds can be coaxed from it

I love keytars, but they are so expensive :/

We have come a long way since the SHS-10 ...

Great demo Daniel! 👍😎

Would have liked to have seen the MIDI break-out but I suspect there's a lot of Reface in this design with a similar break-out. Thinking it will require a safety loop in the MIDI lead on the hidden end of the strap.

Great presenter, very pleasant to listen to.

Nice bro ... amazing demo 👍

thanks this was very informative video.

I want one asap !

I’m Impress Thanks for sharing love the sound of this kaytar

My main resource for keytar info lol

Looks fun, I want one!

wow CrossCode background music 0:07 👍.

Me encanto Esta genial!!! Ultra poderoso yeah!

I’ve always wanted to learn an instrument, but I wanted to be different. I didn’t want a guitar like everyone else, or a violin or something. No, what I need, is a KEYTAR

That’s so cool !!!

See, I'm going for the 300, lol. Much lower in price, and when I pair it with Studio One, I'll be spoiled for choice of VSTs and such. Though, gotta say love the CSR. Bought a $13 egift card for myself, and got a call less than 10 minutes later where we just talked for a bit about things like our keyboard setups. It was wonderful.

Ben Chang would love this

I download the minus recordings to mp3 player and attach it to AV input of Sonogenic

Nice review! That's a cool instrument, but it's quite pricey here in europe

When i use the chord tracker for a Jam sessión how can I make the sound of the music song and the things I play in the keytar go out in the same speaker?... Must I connect the keytar with bluetooth with a wireless connector like a guitar? Must i connect the keytar at the same time by bluetooth with the ipad? and how can i do the song music and the keytar sound into the ipad speakers?

What is the name of the intro song? I think I'll buy myself a keytar

❤ SUPR CHILLIN ❤🎉

Some us remember the On The Run patch Daniel made for the K2500x

This thing may look stupid but I've never had this much fun with any keyboard in my life. I've owned about 6 keyboards......

Pretty cool I would have one!

I want one

Is there a way to store Chorus and Reverb level? Every time I turn off the keyboard or I change the instrument I loose Chorus and Reverb values.

Is this instrument able to connect via bluethooth to my music boxes for example? If this would be the case I would instantly buy this tho:D

this Keytar is very rare at 80's. Some band members from rock bands uses all types of Keytars sometimes.

nice prez thanks

My English was bad,wish you can understand my grammar Excuse me~ I have a question. I 'm live in poor sound insulation's place,but I want to play keytar when I after work. SHS-500's main speaker can it be muted after connecting the headset or not? I want play but I don't want disturb or distress to others Thanks! very much

Do I need an adapter to go into an amp? I’m mostly wondering what cable this comes with and if it is compatible with amps

Hey does anyone know if it has a good electric guitar sound? For shredding?

Does it only run on battery. Or can you plug it in with a power cord?

Nice

Can you hook up a microphone to sing alone?

Does it have like a pressure detector? I mean like if you press it hard it plays louder

Can I use this as a midi controller?

STREETS OF RAGE

so this is just the VKB-100 without Hatsune Miku? (and with the display in English)

How do I create loops? I found where it says loop but what do I press to initiate that function? As soon as I try to press on that button it takes me to another option… I thought it might be the play key whilst bringing up the ‘loop ‘ selection but it just plays the demo so any help is greatly appreciated ❤

oooh. interesting.

But for the money it does seem to have some decent sounds

Sir I want to know how loopback function works.. help me plz

hi, what would be a nice entry level keytar? you know, nothing too expensive but nothing cheaply made

question, did you connect the mp 3 player to the keytar or into the amp behind you?

Can it be played while walking down the street?

Can this function like those of Yamaha PSR? Build in styles patterns, full accompany, one man band? Looking for that keyboard with shoulder strap type. Play with both hands. Any suggestions?

John Goodman on keyboard, ladies and gentlemen! :)

How much is the price in Nigeria?

Where do I get the thing for backing tracks?

Does it have pressure sensitivity? Nice vid btw

3:57 Minecraft Song lol

Well, you're no Plasmic!!

A keytar would require small keys id think, i mean large keys just make it HUGE, and youre right about the guitar, no ones crying about a fender strat string width lol.....

Ok this or the KX5? My choice personally, KX5. anybody else wanna choose?

Song at 3:46? Very familiar

Can it be connected to a mixer for live shows?

can it be used as a midi?

Are there instruction books that teach you how to play? Or do you have to take private lessons? I took piano lessons and this looks like a good instrument but do not want to buy something that is too difficult.

Show me the speakers, please.

Does it require any sort of configuring beforehand? Or do I just put in the batteries and am able to play?

what did you have it plugged into to amplify the sound?

Just 30 sounds? Can more be added via a computer or an app?

Should I get this or the reface cp?

So I'm kind of confused. Does this need a computer to use? Are there internal speakers or something? Is there any way to use this without a computer? I ask because it looks like most other keytars need some sort of computer or module to use.

So I can play it without a PC or in free style?

Does it have his own sound?

Can I play some Rock guitar with it?? Like Bon Jovi, Scorpions rock etc... Please reply....

Can you add your Own sounds?

Calling of keytar a shoulder keyboard is an absurd submition. There are absolutally no reason for it first of all. Accordions are whearable keyboards older than guitars played since 18 century. It seems that guitarists have some unmotivated revulsion at keyboard players who use them as if they wish to eliminate competition, which other key players emulated by keyboards like brass don't. The strangest thing is that the clean sound is what guitar players less use since they always play trought effects, It is worth mentioning that they play through a manufactured tone. But they don't like to see keyboard players playing standed 'cos they are affraid of. We are now seeing the true evolution of this type of keyboard with better sound, technology, much more compact and bold. We are facing a revolution.

👍🎼❤️

Can you plug this into an amp?

Do you have to plug it in?

I have a question, can you send me one? 😂

Pity they can't include styles
