MOX 6 Overall Great Sounds : Yamaha MOX6 61 Key Music Production Synthesizer

There are a lot of really nice sounds on this keyboard and it's a good all rounder whatever your style of music. It feels a little cheap and plastically, and the keyboard action isn't great. Try playing it with the sound off and you'll hear what I mean. Also the pitch bend squeaks and takes a while to return to the middle! There are hours of fun to be had with the performances that have built in bass and drum sounds and up to 6 variations. However, there are no intro, fills, and outros. They are labelled arp1 arp2 so for each performance you need to remember which of them sounds a bit like a fill or break. The problem with the fills are that they don't automatically move onto the next arp so you hit say arp4 which might be a drum fill and it stays like that until you then press arp1. Yes you can sequence all of this but as it's called a performance and designed to be used as a performance I find this and the general lack of intros and outros quite limiting to these performances. Polyphony is up to 64. Having sequenced one of the trance performances though I didn't seem to have enough left over for a piano without it noticeably cutting off notes. You can get round this by recording audio to cubase as separate tracks but I'm yet to fathom out how I'd do this and quantise all the tracks together. The USB out for DAW work is great and the provision of cubase excellent. Overall Excellent sounds based on the MOTIF range. Lots of buttons and nobs to play with and almost worth the money in my opinion. Cheers.

In 1993, I walked into Sam Ash Music in Paramus, NJ and let them know I was looking for the best drum set possible. I had been through a few kits and wanted something that I wouldn't feel the need to replace in five years. I had size and pitch specs for what I was looking for. Tom Sontag, (the drum guru there at that time) said the Yamaha Maple Custom would be just what I was looking for. It's 18 years later and his advice was spot on. Although I update hardware, etc. every couple of years . . . I still LOVE playing these very special drums. When I take them out for a show, drum fans go crazy for them. I bought the VN Vintage Natural Finish and they still look brand new.

I swear by this keyboard. I bought this 3 years ago, whilst still developing as a pianist but fancying something a little different. It\'s got all the sounds on it, great weighting- a beauty to play, the semi weighted keys are heavy enough to feel substantial but lighter than some stupidly heavy electric pianos. I hope to god that they still make these machines so others can feel the benefits that I did!

i\'m 12 years old, and i\'d been thinking about getting a 5 string for a long time, and when i tried the yamaha, i really liked it, and i was like \'it\'s yamaha, it\'s not gonna break\'. i then ordered one in dark oriental green. when it came, the plastic plate on the headstock was loose, there were a few knocks in the headstock itself, and both the eq knobs and the output jack were loose. one week later, it just wasn\'t making a sound. so i sent it back and got a refund. i wouldn\'t recommend this bass, it\'s really not worth just getting mediocre instruments, even if they are yamaha, cos they\'re cheaply made. get an ibanez btb or something.

Yamaha FC3 Sustain Pedal - AMAZING : Yamaha FC3 Piano Type Sustain Pedal

As my (Yamaha Portable Grand) keyboard will only accept one pedal input I decided to save my pennies and get the good one. Right Decision. The pedal itself is sold and doesn\'t slip, the action is lovely - really lovely. Stiff enough to provide feedback without being stubborn. The advantage of an expressive pedal over the binary on/off FC3/4 pedals is night and day. You can\'t compare them, it\'s the difference between a button and a dial. It\'s so ... expressive. One example, using it as a Breath Expression CC for the GSi Miles Tone trumpet simulator. My only regret is I can\'t plug two more of these into my NP-30.

Delivered to my home in Belfast in 2 days, very good service! As to the tenori itself its quite an expressive machine thats lets you explore sequencing in a more interesting method. It is also good for controlling your DAW or hardware synths. The sampling capacity is a bit limited and some say the sounds are limited as you cannot shape them. I think this is a good for forcing ideas and expressivness. Too many options can stifle the idea flow. An expressive item even though it is promoted as the budget model but once you get it, you will be glad you did. Be prepared for hundreds of lost hours! lol

Really good quality samples - superb when heard thro headphones (to please the neighbours!) - if thro an amp and speakers will depend on the quality of the amp and speakers! i like the way u can program a kit to your own liking - each sample can be altered in frequency (to make it higher or lower), u can add various echos ,change cutoffs etc etc - so tis possible to get a set of tuned percussion with a bit of work! when u hit the pads fast u get every beat (some cheaper kits miss hits) - the harder u hit the louder the sound - u can alter the positioning and angle of the pads to some extent to suit u overall im very happy with it !

I have bought a lot of musical instruments over the past 20 years but i would have to say that this is the best value for money i have ever owned.This is a lot of instrument for the money.I sat staring at it in wonder for the first couple of days thinking \"wow its genius, it\'s a normal classical headstock and a relatively normal classical neck stuck on to the body of a tenor uke, genius\". I restrung mine with a set of aquilas (high c) and then used some thin gauge martin wound a and d strings and it sounds ok compared to my other ukes ,some of which have cost me 500 plus. My only complaints would be that the sound board is thick ply so it loses a bit of resonance and one of my frets is not seated as well as it could be so i get the occasional grating but for 60 these thing are to be expected, and i\'m suprised of the high quality for the price but can generally expect a bargain from yamaha.

Though I put great store in personal reviews I\'m usually too lazy to add my own, but with the GL-1 I couldn\'t help myself. I\'ll get the bad news out of the way. It took 6 weeks to arrive, but that\'s Yamaha\'s fault not Dolphin\'s. I used to work for a large manufacturer once and I know how much customer\'s like Dolphin are messed around. The rest is all good news. This thing is brilliant! As a geeky technophile (\"Why do you NEED all this stuff just to play ONE guitar and why do you NEED so MANY guitars?\" to quote the good lady wife) with a music room room rammed to the rafters with recording stuff, electronic drum kit, digital piano, 5 guitars, 4 amps, outboard, blah blah blah, I absolutely adore this guitar. I\'ve got everything from a Tele and Strat to a Line 6 Variax 700, which is loaded with 25 modelled guitars, but I can\'t put this thing down! I\'m a stay at home dad (apart from a part-time job studio engineering) and my 9-month-old daughter and I play this at least once a day. To me it makes music simple again. It\'s so small and light, you can take it anywhere with you and just play. In order to protect my ageing, fragile ego, my live rig includes a 15 unit rack, road trunk, just the 1 guitar now thanks to the Variax, and various other flightcases, having the GL-1 has reminded me what music is all about.

Yamaha N12 : Yamaha N12 Digital Mixing Studio

Thu, 11 Feb 2010 15:00:54 +0000

User: Peter Brown
Rating; 10/10
I thought long and hard about the right desk for my project studio. It is for our Gospel group and used for making/mixing backing tracks. Finally I choose the N12 to be the backbone and boy am I glad I did. At First it was a bit daunting, the N12 shipped to me had the old firmware and so this had to be updated! I read the instructions and sweated as I watched the update praying there would not be a power failure so if you not prepared to go through this check the version you are getting. I have to say it went smooth. You have to install the software and have it all running first then a combination of switching on holding two controlls puts the desk into update mode and you send the update from the computer. If you read and understand all the instructions fully before you do it, it should be ok! Speaking of the software as my new computer is Vista 64bit I had to discard the disks that came with the desk and download my versions from Yamaha this was no trouble and it is running 64bit native perfectly. I\'m using it with Cubase 5.1 so I also downloaded and printed out the new section of the manual (about 10 pages but it was worth it) The manual with mine was for Cubase 4. Anyway what about the desk. Well, it is awsome. Looks fantastic in the studio and the sound is clean and crisp. the controlls are really intuitive and controlling cubase from the Daw remote control is a dream. Having the N12 multi template to choose from when you open Cubase takes care of all the Vst connections and your ready to record, ther is also other templates including 5.1. When it came to mixing I flicked the switch and my Cubase mixer channels switched to my N12 and I mixed with real faders and channel strips. I run the Speaker A to my Nearfields and then the others to a small desk and a speaker splitter which runs 3 other sets of speakers for referance. I also use it with a CC121 (also needed a firmware update just lucky I guess!) and both Cubase ready lights come on and work together no problem. There really is too many features to go into but check them out on the web and then believe me they all work sweetly. I have to say Dolphin\'s price is excellent and as usual the delivery was as specified. All in all if you are looking for a digital desk with all the feel of an analogue board then this is the baby for you. Its a lot of money but you will never regret it for years to come.

User: Niklas Zimmer
Rating; 8/10
I bought these speakers as a second pair to my trusted Yamaha NS10-Ms. Since then, I found that I switch over to them far more often, because they provide faster, crisper access to clicks and glitches during editing. For the final mix I\'ll still set them up against my old pair in order to get a comparison. I\'ve found their sound very clear while remaining agreeable through long edits. I did buy a sub to go with them at some point, but I often also only bring it in later when most of the work is done with them. I can highly recommend the MSP5A\'s, and, at this price the decision for Yamaha\'s undoubted rock-solid quality in studio speakers is a no-brainer anyway.

This is the best value for money. For under 400 you can expect the quality of a Yamaha Tour Custom without burning a hole in your pocket. This kit sounds really good. It comes with double braced hardware, a pedal better than the one that comes with the Yamaha Stage Custom Noveau and the bass drum comes with 2 black maple hoops whereby the bass drum resembles the Steve Gadd Snare. This kit can easily be compared to the likes of Yamaha\'s top of the range kits and is a kit worth investing in. Unlike other makes, Yamaha took time to ensure that the kits they produce at entry are on point whereas with other makes you can clearly discern between models. Yamaha never fails to please and is a make that professionals are in demand of. www.myspace.com/duaynesanforddrummerboi

guitar lives up to the description, does everything its supposed to, and amplifies superbly. I would recommend to anyone, What REALLY impressed me was the service provided by Dolphin. Ordered 11am 23 december,by phone, delivered by 9am the next day, Christmas eve! Not only that, but a query I emailed on the evening of the 23rd was answered on the 24th, the day when all business usually ceases. I will certainly use these again. Thank you Dolphin

I bought this piano on recommendation from a friend and have not been disappointed! Ideally I would have liked an acoustic piano, but money and space could not afford. This piano however really impressed me! It sounds so much like an acoustic and really feels like one too. The Yamahas YDP140C\'s simplistic nature with basic digital settings is ideal for my two young children who are keen to tinker around on it. There is of course the added bonus that you can plug in headphones and turn the volume setting down! I did read a review that said that the maximum volume setting was too quiet, but I could not disagree more. If used in a domestic setting it is more than loud enough and I often turn the volume down! All together an extremely good buy for beginners and children providing a piano that looks attractive and plays beautifully without too many confusing buttons that some more exprensive digital piano\'s come with! Thank you Yamaha!!

I have had my Stagepas 300 for 12 months. And I dont know how I did without it. I am the keyboard guy in a 10 piece soul, disco and motown band and I use it for my stage monitoring. Previous I had a Peavey KBA150. I can now play in stereo which makes my sound brilliant, both on stage and front of house through the main PA. I use a Yamaha S80 as my main and a Roland G7 and my top keyboard. I was worried about the small size speakers before I bought it but I get a lovely rich sound including plenty of bass. I get plenty of on-stage volume despite being in a 10 piece! I use the speakers in wedge format, sitting on some makeshift stands to give it some physical lift and keep the speakers close in to me. www.SoulDevotion.net

The Pocketrak CX looks rugged but once pulled from its wrapping you discover it is made of think plastic (the metal-looking microphone housing is similar quality to a cheap child\'s toy). It gives the impression that it needs to be treated like a princess not a tomboy if you want to keep it in reasonable condition. Along with the fixed line-in record (which I agree with the previous reviewer is limiting) I could not monitor thru the line-in which was surprising and frustrating. I would have sent this back this but regrettably missed Dolphin\'s excellent 7 day returns window so I hope this review will hope other customers avoid this at all costs.

This product is excellent for learning to play piano. It has a decent amount of keys and sounds. The few things I was not satisfied with were batteries not working for all the PSR-E203 electronic keyboards I bought in the past which made it difficult for me having to plug it into the wall so I can play, and there is no touch sensitivity setting. Now that I review this product I begin to think that it was made for children 10 years of age and under.

I have been an avid acoustic guitarist for 10 years now and along the way have built up a nice collection of guitars, but there was one thing missing and with this little Guitarlele from Yamaha I think I may have found it. First off I often write a lot of songs using a capo up above the 4th fret to suit my vocal range and this instrument seemed like a natural choice as it\\\'s essentially like having a miniture classical nylon stringed guitar with a capo on the 5th fret. It\\\'s got a great sound, much better than I was expecting and is easy to play and suits the average to the pro player. It\\\'s a perfect little songwriting tool thanks to it\\\'s size, it\\\'s so easy to take with you and just pick up wherever you may be and jam out a tune or two. Whilst I have no problem whatsoever with the sound of this guitarlele I have a couple of issues with the general finishing, therefore the 8/10. There are some nasty little nicks on the fretboard which is generally quite poorly finished and the top/front of the body on mine came with little marks, scratches and varnish runs on, which look pretty ugly and leads me to believe that not much care and attention was lavished on the prodcution of the Guitarlele, but the sound and easy playability more than makes up for these cosmetic gripes. I would recommend this to any lover of acoustic guitars, it may seem like a novelty at first, but it quickly becomes a very practical and useful studio/songwriting tool. I love mine and am very happy with my purchase.

Whilst itEURs easy to offer criticism, thereEURs no getting away from the fact the Yamaha MG166 represents excellent value for money. Dealing with the niggles first, the 19U rack ears are fixed, thereEURs no aux output monitoring, the faders are small, the switch buttons are noisy (thatEURs audible-noisy, not electronic noisy) the variable compressors (channels 1-6) only really have one setting (on or off) and finally the power supply weighs almost as much as the mixer! Is that the worst? Well, pretty much yes. On the plus side, itEURs great value, the routing is flexible, thereEURs three axillaries, a mid-sweep eq on most channels and each channel has an illuminated on/off button (meaning you can pre-set fader levels) Is there anything else? Well, yes; it looks good, all the inputs are on view which means itEURs excellent as an educational mixer, itEURs made by Yamaha and I really canEURt see it letting you down if you look after it. Oh, did I mention itEURs incredible value for money? IEURm now using my MG166 in video edit suite where I need to monitor multiple sources. Taking this piece of kit on the road or using it 24/7 might actually be asking a little too much so I would recommend it for a fixed installations with light to medium use. Verdict: If it ever died, would I buy a replacement?. Answer; Yes. Recommended as a EURdecent piece of reliable studio kitEUR Mark

I purchased a pocketrax CX to record from the line-in source. However I found that the record level only works with the microphone and not the line-in. The Line-in is a fixed level and hence my recordings were very distorted. I had to return the device as EURNot fit for purposeEUR. I canEURt believe Yamaha overlooked this. I have since purchased a Tascam DV-07 which does allow you to adjust the recording level on the line-in input. I also find the Tascam menu system easier to use. The Tascam is a slightly larger unit which I think is positive as it makes it easier to use and the display easier to read.

nice guitar. well made and arrived the very next day... so 10 stars. this is the second time I have been asked to review it so I will. I wanted to change the strings so that it can be tuned like a conventional guitar rather than like a guitar at the 5th fret. I asked the good people at Dolphin if they had or could obtain a set of suitable strings. they said they would get back to me but didn\'t........ which is unfortunate. I also recieved the stunning advice of \"use ordinary strings, but cut them shorter \" ????. Anyway, I have found some LaBella FG114 strings from Germany and it sounds great.

I needed a portable and lightweight piano for use in a church, mainly to play worship songs written for piano. The 76 key Yamaha was the perfect choice for our needs as the lack of the additional bass notes is not required. I was impressed by how light the piano is to carry and move(which we do a lot of) and of the sounds available. limited but very good quality. One added bonus was the fact the piano will run very happily on 6 AA batteries.. useful, if like me, you forgot to order a power supply!

I have recently returned to guitars - carpal tunnel syndrome put an end to my playing a while ago - but I have since had successful operations and regretted having sold my old guitars...including a lovely 1965 Hofner Verithin. I bought a Line 6 Variax 700 - and have been very pleased with it but now decided I wanted something acoustic and smaller to pick up an play without necessarily plugging it in. I chose the Yamaha APX 500 having done some research on youtube - partly for its playing qualities but also for the fact it looks good. I got a blue one to match my eyes and the lounge. I wasn\'t disappointed - kept out on a stand it does look good just as a piece of furniture. It plays well out of the box - I found the action a bit heavier than the Line 6 - but of course it is a an acoustic and has heavier gauge strings. You could fit lighter strings if you wanted. Being rather a small guitar the unplugged sound wouldn\'t fill a large space - but for home practice it\'s great. Plugged in - it sounds even better - bright sounding and clear with sharp intonation and dynamics.. The cut away shape allows easy access to the top end of the fretboard - and the guitar falls nicely to hand. It has a three channel EQ system and a tuner which is handy. Quality of finish is very good - some reviews I read were snobbish about the choice of woods - the back and neck are \"Nato\" which is a cheaper sustainable hardwood somewhere from the East - but that is reflected in the price of the guitar. If you want more exotic woods then you have to pay a lot more. The soundboard is spruce and the fret board rosewood with abalone inserts. White stringing round the body of the guitar is stylish and provides protection. Some people don\'t like coloured guitars. If you want a good looking semi acoustic with a bright sound that is reasonably priced then I think you could do much worse than this guitar. My guitar teacher likes it too.

These are my first pair of monitors, and i couldn\'t be happier. I record and listen to anything from classical piano to quite bass heavy rock. The clarity of the sound is quite excellent, and the room control switches are very useful (and come with a big booklet describing in very simple terms how to use them). Every review on the planet explains how these give a great reference, and if they sound good on here, will sound good anywhere, and after a few hours listening, i can see why. Poor quality mixes and bit-rates are exposed incredibly- quite upsetting in a way. I\'d get these, but read a lot of reviews first just so that you get the feel of what these speakers are about; particularly the bits about how the NS10s became so popular (these were built to better the ns10s...if you can)

The Yamaha MM6 review. I have only had mine for a few weeks and to start with I didn\'t like the sound of it at all, except when it was playing the 3 demo songs which sounded great. I found that the modulation wheel had a really negative effect on the pure instrument sounds and turned it down to zero and then by using the main voice also as the dual voice, this added a much better depth to the sound. Later, after playing with the effects settings the MM6 has produced some wonderful sounds and I am very glad that I bought it. Considering the price compared with the Motif Synths I consider the MM6 to be a very good first synth. I just wish I could find more time to use it!

These are superb. The thing that struck me aboutthem was the clarity and crispness of them when I first listened to them. I was going to buy some genelecs, but they sounded really muffled in comparison, and also checked out some fostex as well, and although pretty clear, they still lacked massivley compared these babies. Now I\'ve got them at home, they\'ve really exposed the quality of the recording of alot of my music collection. Some of it sounds pants, but alot of it sounds even more fantastic, I can hear all the effects that have been applied really easily and the cymbals shimmering, picks catching the strings etc, they have blown my brains , and I\'m so glad I got them instead of the genelecs. With my own music projects, again I can hear everything really well, and seeing as I was on a set of hi fi speakers before, they\'ve made a huge amount of difference, the biggest place so far being in the effects department because I can hear the tiniest amount of an effect I\'m applying. These really are excellent value for money in my opinion, are humungously loud, but listen to them first and make your own mind up. They have a good rep for a reason, and I\'m saving the pennies to get the sub. That makes em even more amazing!!!

I originally bought the Yamaha Guitalele as a travel guitar and to use to teach large mixed guitar and Ukulele ensembles. I also have used it for Wider Opportunities whole class (Primary aged pupils) instrumental tuition for Ukuleles. It works great as an acoustic instrument and in the Ukulele environment it gives extra volume and bass with the addition of strings 5 & 6. It has a sweet tone and good natural projection. It generally plays like a classical guitar capo\\\'d at the fifth fret. Its only downside is that it takes some turning up(pre-amping) to get the volume out of the pick up system when plugged in. I would recommend it to any one needing a Ukulele to teach with (providing 6 strings suits your needs)and as a travel guitar. It has good acoustic qualities and is well made.

I sat there for an hour trying to figure out why no sound would play, then dashed over to PC world to buy a speaker system (which now doubles up as my surround sound for TV yay). You can use headphones though, you just need one of those converters that make the small jack...bigger :) Great system! Great price! Fast and secure delivery. Brilliant! G

Lets get the cosmetic thing out of the way first. There is a point as which fancy woods and inlays stop being attractive and well presented and start to become a matter of ego embellishment. For me, this bass sits and that point. The configured maple top and headstock has just enough \\\"wow\\\" factor. On the other hand I\\\'m not so scared of damaging the finish that I won\\\'t take it to a jam night. Out of the box it looks a light pine colour but after 3 year mine has mellowed to a slightly richer shade so the contrast with the black hardware is less pronounced. The shape of the thing is ..... functional. A slab of wood. There is some contouring at the top for you forearm but the nice sculpting of the TRB5 MK1 is long gone. other wise it is a double cuttaway body with a long to horn to balance it on the strap ( and it does balance well) Construction? Well Yamaha are engineers to the core. They\\\'re not about to make something flimsy or rough or badly fitting so lets move on. The satin finished neck is easy to glide along. Naturally it is wider than a 4 string but no thicker. The string spacing is a little narrower than my old precision. I can do a four fret (?) stretch at the deep end no problem. It just takes practice. For some reason they decided to factory fit roundwound strings. They sound nice but if you don\\\'t want to carve up your rosewood finger board I suggest that flats are the way to go. I fitted Rotosound Trubass to mine for a more \\\"upright\\\" sound. Usual mwah -yudeedoo slides are easy. Not that you HAVE to. You can rock and roll too if you have to. Slapping is not its forte when you have it action set for speed, but how many players slap a frettless 5 string? Mine was setup great right out of the box. It just doesn\\\'t have any vices. Tone is the reason that you will want this. Its warm, rich and smooth. It is active but not over bearing. I have seen quite a few of the fretted variety in the RnB/soul fraternity. You might see them in places of worship too. I\\\'ve seen one in a rock band but I think that would be a rarity. The controls are as expected:- master volume, pickup pan and treble, middle, bass. The tone controls have a lot of range so pretty much ALL of your sounds will be onboard. I have read that turning up the treble results in hissy bass, but I haven\\\'t noticed. Certainly not like the old TRB5 MK1s. The electronics don\\\'t eat batteries like older models, which is good because it leads to this instruments\\\' only real flaw - the battery compartment. Its just slightly too small to fit rechargables (which tend to be a couple of mm larger.). Practical upshot is that the door bulges outward and doesn\\\'t shut with a satisfying click. digging the spent battery out is a chore too. Its a stupid fault. It doesn\\\'t matter in the scheam of things but its a niggle. Overall though, I would say that this is a \\\"grown up\\\" instrument. Its attractive while not a fashion statement. Its not a \\\"name\\\" bass, but its from a respected maker. Its dependable rather than boring. Its a multi purpose instrument for musicians who let their playing speak for them. P.S. the price has dropped through the floor - go get.

This was a present for my birthday from my wife and I was expecting something quite limited like the Pansonic digital dictaphone I had been used to using previously. This unit has more useful functions and a great frequency response- also you can switch off the ALC ( AGC) - the internal mics were pleasantly good and I will try it the next time with a pair of DPA\'s through a small Mackie - just to see how far the mic quality affects the performance. I recorded our rehearsal and then without need to refer to a manual - was able to transfer the files into the Steinberg AI-4 which come bundled with it - called up the Mastering Template and off I went - The guys were pleasantly surprised that all their chatter was edited out and with judicious use of EQ and Compression the rehearsal came out sounding not half bad- unfortunately the unit does not cover up playing mistakes :o) I can thoroughly recommend this little marvel as its simplicity in use combined with its flexibility - will certainly make it easier to identify areas which need improving in your sessions.

This is a nice sounding, easy to play and very affordable guitar. My cousin bought one of these and the first time I played it the sound was just so nice and round with enough bass and treble mix. I was so impressed by its sound and very low price I just had to go and buy one for myself! The action is really nice and low, much lower than my more expensive Takamine acoustic guitar but still gives the strings enough room to vibrate without hitting the frets at all. It is a pretty loud sounding guitar that is probably due to the deep body of it. I would definitely recommend this guitar to any beginners because it is really easy on the fingers, sounds really nice, stays in tune really well and isn\'t a huge amount of money so you really cant go wrong with buying one of these! I love it and use it for a lot or recording now instead of my old Takamine! I suppose the only thing I would like to see on it is a built in pick up so I can plug it in but for this price its understandable that they haven\'t fitted one.

An instrument that makes my whole family cheerful. : Yamaha Tenori-On

It\'s impossible to rate this instruemnt, since there is really nothing out there to compare it with. Iwai san wanted to create an electronic instrument that has it\'s own identity, beaty and special qualities like a well built guitar for instance, and he has succeded. The choice of materials and all the details are very well thought out (magnesium instead of aluminium for instance, reflects light differently), and it does have a \'feel\' of a very beautiful thing. In it\'s limited numbers it is probably more hand built than any electric guitars sub 1.000. If you\'re looking for a MIDI sound module and/or a simple sequencer for scetching out ideas within a mainstream pop/techno/trance idom only and don\'t care about the \'feel\' of it, you can probably get better value elsewhere. The Tenori-on does offer instant blip blop, and there\'s a growing numbers of YouTube videos to show just how boring that can be. The limitations is a part of the feature set, and it\'s when you start to work up against them that interesting things will start to happen. You do need imagination to get the best of this instrument. Myself I have a classical music education where I chose to focus on 12-tone and other mathematical music. Rather surprisingly it has helped me a lot to get outside the otherwise nave / banal paths you can be hooked into so easily. Even if the 16 x 16 matrix instead of a keyboard helps freeing you from traditional thinking, it surley has its own clichs. I think the tradeoffs are well thought out, generally. The soundset is limited with almost only short sounds. Mine runs on batteries for the 8th hour now, which I find great, and that wouldn\'t be possible with huge sounds. Things like that - very well thought out. This is not for everyone, and kudos to Yamaha to make it available to the general public at all.

The Tenori-on has been raved about on the internet, and it\'s been panned too. It can do a lot more than most step-sequencers, but it does have some limitations. The voice set could be improved and the number of sample banks could be increased. And there are other things too numerous to mention. That said, it can achieve a great deal all by itself, and as a musicians \'play tool\' it is unique. Expect more tenori-on-like instruments in the future, when it will be come a future classic. Cool, expensive, but worth it!

Yamaha YSS-475mk2 : Yamaha YSS475II Intermediate Bb Soprano Saxophone

Well it appears I bought this at exactly the right time from Dolphin Music as I got it in the sales at 799 which is superb value for money. I was very impressed with the Yamaha YSS-475 mk2. Although it is meant to be an intermediate model, it is very well made and has superb intonation and keywork. I have been playing for years, long ago completing the student Grades system, so although I would class my ability as beyond intermediate I do not feel limited in any way with this instrument. I must admit the supplied Yamaha plastic mouthpiece is nowhere near as good as the solid silver Selmer mouthpiece I am using with it though, so I would recommend players upgrade to a better mouthpiece and ligature when funds allow. One thing I was very pleasantly surprised at was the depth and warmth of tone. My last soprano saxophone was an old Selmer which had to be sold when I lost my job. Although I will one day upgrade again once I have another 3k, I am very impressed with this Yamaha YSS-475 mk2 for the money - vastly better than what I was expecting. It sounds beautiful actually - very velvety and really easy to play. Thoroughly recommended. I\'d always heard that Yamaha\'s were thin and bright sounding despite having fantastic keywork, but it is a myth - the sound is very rich and velvety as well as having excellent keywork and intonation.

I paid 79 for my guitar, what I got is a well balanced, good looking guitar, with great playability. The bits I\'m dissapointed by are; the tuners feel terrible (but hold tune well(even after giving the whammy bar extensive use)), the string tree is a bit \'minimalistic\', and the pick-ups \'could\' be a bit brighter in tone. All these bits can be upgraded reasonbly cheaply. For 79 you get a guitar that\'s good looking, well balanced and therefore extremely playable, with the usual high build standard of Yamaha. If you want to learn to play a six string, buy one. I can\'t put mine down for too long without wanting to pick it up again. Thank you Dolphin, thank you Yamaha.

I have just taken over a department at a jnr school where a set of KPA3s have been bought recently for the set of 11 electric keyboards. Four of them have case work that has come loose, due to the screw at the bottom going through the plastic rendering them highly dangerous yet still functioning. This is a serious health hazard and needs to be addressed promptly.

Honestly, a tenor trombone doesn\'t get much better than this. With a Bach 6 1/2 AL mouthpiece, I can get an incredibly bright colorful tone, a Yamaha 48 mouthpiece gives it an even dynamic tone, and with a 48 A, it sounds like a bore twice its size! Plus, with the 3 interchangeable leadpipes, you can tweak each of these sounds into anything you want. Perfect jazz trombone. I challenge you to find a better one. Seriously.

YCL221II review : Yamaha YCL221II

Wed, 31 Dec 2008 18:35:39 +0000

User: Steve Peloquin
Rating; 10/10
Let me tell ya, there\'s nothing like opening your Christmas presents and finding a new YCL-221II Bass Clarinet hidden amongst the sweaters and trinkets. I say hidden because the YCL-221II case is even smaller than an alto sax, because Yamaha designed the YCL-221II to come apart... and easily too. The tendon joint is corked with an o-ring for a tight seal while the bell joint has two o-rings. While I never saw one built like this before, much to my surprize the BC goes together quickly and easily everytime. After putting her together - I took a moment to admire the brillant shine on the nickel keys and bell. Very durable and pretty. The keys are solid. No springy-ness at all. Yamaha redesigned this BC a couple years ago, (I read somewhere...) and everything feels just right! Yamaha thoughtfully has also redesigned the neck angle so that finding your perfect emboucher is so easy. The neck angle and the beautiful matte black finish and sparkling nickel keys make this BC stand out and commands attention. It looks like a more expensive model, so nobody leak the price, okay? The tone is warm and full through-out the entire range. Unlike my last BC, all the notes from the top to the bottom blow freely and easily. I never knew how high you could go it the altisimo register until I got this beauty. I would surely recommend this to any begineer or intermediate player. You will not be dissapointed.

Yamaha N12 : Yamaha N12 Digital Mixing Studio

User: Rob
Rating; 9/10
I bought this mixer because i needed an all in one solution and because of the acclaim it recieved in the reviews i read. I really like this mixing desk and have not been disappointed so far. Its takes a bit of getting to understand but its not overly complicated. Manual is ok and the copy of Cubase AI you get with it does pretty much all you need unless you want surround sound then you have to have Cubase 4 or a DAW (digital Audio workstation) that supports surround sound. I think the sound quality is excellent and its seems what you put in (in terms of audio signal)is what you get out. The built in reverb is ok and the built in compressors are very useful. The pro\'s are you dont even need a sound card in your computer. You only have to connect to the computer via firewire, not loads of audio leads or a break out box. It works excellently with cubase 4 AI and i assume Cubase 4. I havnt tried it with any other DAW like pro tools or logic. But once you set it up correctly under those DAW\'s i think it would be fine. I run a 2GHz core duo with 2 gig of ram with a pair of alesis m1 active mk2 monitors and i havent experience any lantancy issues although i havnt really pushed it in terms of using lots of VST effects etc. I think the build quality is good. The only small gripe i would have with it is that it doesnt have any XLR outputs which would have been useful especailly if you were taking it out for live use. I havent used all its features yet, but I am very happy with it thus far especailly as its now over 100 more expensive than when I bought it 3 months ago. Make sure you do all the updates, when i first got it the cycle or loop button on the transport controls on the N12 wouldnt seem to stay on when pressed on the N12 after the updates were done this was sorted. I have found that a couple of times the N12 doesnt seem to work properly when you first boot it to cubase (but probably me not giving it enough time) but just reboot cubase and/or turn the N12 off then on again and everything is fine. It hasnt crashed on me once (touch wood) once its all booted up correctly and ive started working. So i would say stability is very good. Im not an expert on mixers or Cubase or recording for that matter but it seems i am not alone in praising this mixer. I hope this review has helped.

I bought this guitar just over 6 months ago when the price was only 179 and thought it was a real bargain. I had played other APX and CPX models but i thought this was the best. Has a very crisp and clean tone when played acoustically and when plugged into a decent amp is even better. I bought the natural look as it appealed to me most and it arrived when the delivery note said. Came packaged exteremly well and without harm to the guitar. The on board tuner is very useful as you don\'t have to worry about having one on you at all times. I would recommend this to anybody who wants a great guitar at an affordable price.

Some time ago I bought a copy Telecaster on the UK\'s best known auction site. All I will say is this was an unmitigated disaster! I,m working my way through Justin Sandercoe\'s on line lessons and he reccomended Dolphin as an honest company and the Yamaha Pacifica guitar. The Pacifica was a bit out of my budget but Paul at Dolphin suggested the EG112 as being very similar spec at less than half the price so I ordered one. The guitar arrived in a couple of days very well packed and I have to say I,m astonished and delighted with it. The build quality is superb, the neck,a dream especially for someone like me with smallish hands. My advice to fellow novices...... Do NOT buy a cheepo copy. It will break your spirit and probably you fingernails!! I can unreservedley reccomend tis guitar. Why not take a look at Justin\'s site justinguitar.com. Best wishes, Steve

To be honest, I was stunned at the amount of support the L-7S produced. You could bash out scores of bars at FF and the keyboard wouldn\'t move an inch! Strong, good looking, and it comes packed in a small box for easy storage. A word to the wise tho. Remember how it came out of the box, because that\'s the only way it\'ll ever go back! That, combined with the slightly confusing assembly instructions, make sure you have an hour to assemble it! It\'s not the easiest thing to do, and can be really frustrating!

What can I say? Well, I think it\'s best to start off with \"Wow\" I have played on the Tyros 1 and 2 before, and I really did enjoy them... so Tyros 3 had a lot to live up to, especially as I bought it without playing it or seeing it before hand. Naturally, it didn\'t just live up to my expectations, it completely shattered them! The machine itself produces rich sounds from the moment you switch it on, and some of the most amazing styles I\'ve ever heard from any instrument... so good in fact, that it made me glad I was sitting down when I was playing it. Usually I stand up, but I can safely say if I was standing, I wouldn\'t have been for long: the sounds turned my legs to jelly, they are truly stunning! Naturally I had to try everything; IDC, USB ports, Hard Disk Recorder, Song Recorder, Style creator, Multi pad creator, organ flutes... the list goes on! Faults? Well there are only 61 keys, but if you WANT 88 keys from your Tyros, just plug in another on the MIDI in ports... now if only you could record to the song recorder from a connected keyboard ... but that might just be me asking too much All-in-all, here we have one of the best digital workstations created to date... and even at that price, you get what you pay for! I have had my Tyros 3 for just coming up to a fortnight now, and still when I play some of the Super Articulation voices, I hit some wrong notes just to make the Saxophones and Clarinets do their glides and so on... A must-buy if you\'re looking for a top of the range keyboard!

Yamaha Pacifica112v : Yamaha Pacifica 112V Electric Guitar (Sonic Blue)

Sun, 30 Nov 2008 17:04:31 +0000

User: Steve W
Rating; 9/10
The Yamaha Pacifica 112v in my opinion is a superb instrument. Straight out of the box the instrument is eminently playable, the intonation was spot-on. The body is well balanced, and the neck with its satin finished rosewood fret board on maple has a beautiful feel. I felt the action was a little high for my liking. This is easily adjusted, however you must then readjust the intonation. The pacifica112v has been fitted with 2 single coil pickups in, neck central positions. A dual coil hum bucker has been fitted at the bridge. A 5 way selector switch is fitted giving, front only, front & centre, centre only, centre and rear, or rear only permutations. A pull switch is fitted to the single master tone control; this taps the hum bucker and effectively shorts out one of the windings. The pull switch selects the back part of the hum bucker closest to the bridge. I noticed that on my 112v I could not get the classic fender bell like tone, from the rear pickups. This effect is caused entirely by the phase relationship (distance apart) of the single coil units. I removed the back wiring plate and discovered that the 112v uses a double pole 5 way selector switch. Although a pull switch to select a single coil position is fitted, for some strange reason Yamaha have used the second half of the 5-way selector to switch in the coil taps when moved to rear plus centre pickup positions. This sounds like a reasonable idea, however the rearmost part of the hum bucker is just too far away from the centre pickup to produce the classic sound we all expect from a strat style guitar. I removed the wire links from this part of the 5-way switch and reversed the positions of the wires from the hum bucker. The result is perfect, and allows still more flexibility. I think overall this guitar is extremely good value for money. I think the quality of engineering, precision, and the standard equipment fitted is very high. I have seen many guitars costing twice this price, which quite frankly dont come close. Buy one you will not regret it. Steve W 2008

\"Walking into Dolphin\'s Gateshead Metro Centre store, I was presented with a massive range of guitars. Fortunately, and as a relative beginner looking for an electro acoustic model, resident expert, Andy Keogh, was on hand to help me through the options. Andy\'s caring & professional approach is worth 10 stars on its own! It soon became evident that one of the APX models would be the right choice. To my relatively untrained ear, there wasn\'t that much difference between the various APX models & I chose the APX 500 Sunburst. I find it hard to believe that this instrument is just over 200. Its looks, construction & sound quality would be hard to match by much more expensive models. Played just as an acoustic, it has a fine crisp sound, ideal for all types of playing styles, which comes to life even more when amplified. And the built in tuner is a real bonus. Beginners often buy cheap guitars. Sadly, sore fingers from a hard action soon put them off if the poor tone doesn\'t first! No such fears with the APX 500. Its looks alone make you want to play it & keep it in view for others to admire. The neck design & action make it ideal for learners & decent players too. The APX 500 is a no brainer. There simply isn\'t a better choice on the market. Congratulations to Dolphin Music for 10 star customer service & to Yamaha for yet another 10 star product.\"
