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

So how can you record with the keyboard?

I appreciate your video. Just wanted to say that if $100 is for a budget sound card then I'm out of budget.🐸

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: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oraIZMyqzL_GpKM.html

i just need something i can hook up to my xbox that has all the keys on it. i want a midi with high and low octives

Well these all accessories are more expensive than an amp😂

Nice

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

Hi name of backround track and artist please

Do I need a laptop? Or can I just have an amp?

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

Thanks man for sharing this. Awesome

yes, next question

your sound itself isnt studio quality

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.

Check out Psychotic Larry, band from Boston in the late 90’s we gigged a lot with. Keytar at its finest!

Mate you are such a great teacher the best so far , you explained that so well , I'm 55 years old I am so glad we came across your channel 🎉

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 .

The keytar is not supposed to be played with both hand😊....its for keyboardist to have fun

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.

Incredible

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. 😂

Thanks bro 😊

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.

These things are a scam I don't know how to use a DAW this thing is useless.

Thanks for this

this is a great video

Thank you. Excellent explanation.

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

Ok sana eh hinaluan lang ng kakornihan. Nakakainis its like a jumping gays

i always wanted a to be a guitarist, fuck stationary instruments, i want to be able to play solos sitting on my knees with the public

Casio has some keyboards that are quality "inbetweens" CTS100 is great

What kind of speaker do you use to play live?

Comment how long did it take you to notice the dog on the table. Took me 2:30. 😄

Hi is there any latency on this setup? And for the speaker, what's the suggested wattage and volts for this setup? Avoiding damage to speakers and for safe use also for clear low mid high tones. Thanks

Do you need to connect a pc to it?

Bro, when you mentioned you couldn’t bring around your keyboard cuz… you don’t have a car 😂 that made me burst out laughing! Regardless of that, thank you for the info on this video. Keep it up!

Awesome demo started by the laugh for fun. Cool n thanks!

That poor USB has seen better days...

Why not just go to a pawn shop and get a cheap amp lol

Thanks for the history behind it , good video

Excellent video! Ive heard several cases of pitch wheel malfunctions, Whats your experience? Thanks!

Keytars are easy to play, I multi play piano and Keytar for the choir and it’s a breeze.

Of course no.. i prefer to sit down behind keyboard so i can play better..

normies hearing talk-boxes and vocoders thinking its autotune says so much about how musicians are the superior human.
