how long keyboard will last is question , maintainance, services, repair and parts availability is also question!!!
Can I buy from You in Vietnam ? How much is the AKX-10 ? Thanks
Where can I order it from ?
I am looking for a 88 key Arranger keyboard which can serve me as a digital piano also. It should have good own style creating feature. Is there any?
Did I missed your mentioning on Tap tempo? I hope they have it.
I am not a brand snob but we have seen over and over that you get what you pay for. Our experience has been that most Medelis are ok when brand new out of the box - but keys stick and stop working after several months. Also saw problems with power supply and display screens. We no longer accept them in trade so you may only spend $779 for a new one now, but unfortunately within 2-3yrs you may be stuck with a broken completely worthless thing so you have really wasted ALL your money. We advise our budget-challenged customers to avoid the temptation of low end brands like Medeli Williams and Donner and to keep saving and wait for a good deal on a used or older model Yamaha/Korg/Roland that usually are reliable for 10+ years of service. Actually I guess I am a brand snob as I just hate to see people get throw their hard earned money away on junk
Wow Mr. Jeremy See I just received my Medeli AK-X10 Keyboard and I have to say 1st this keyboard is awesome; I am basing it on your review., I am very impressed with the style and sound. The main thing I like is the touch screen. and for the price $799 , it is worth it unlike Yamaha $2200, BTW I still have the Casio CT-X5000 very pleased with it as well, I am a beginner. and want to play the Keyboard. thank you so much for the insight on these Keyboards.I will say it is heavy! but aside from that. I am very pleased,
Looks gorgeous and sounds absolutely AMAZING for the price! Am sold! Just ordered one in the UK to replace my trusty Casio CT-X 5000. Although I love that keyboard this is no doubt a considerable upgrade. Cannot wait to check it out and get it under the fingers! Thanks, Jeremy, for this in depth - and convincing - review!
Don't throw your CT-X away (or sell it) unless you hit the limitations of Medelis Style recording and MIDI Playback and are willing to deal with them or/and wait for further updates. At the Moment, with the FW1.3 there are quite improvements, but still far away from what you can do with the CT-X5000. That's what Jeremy missed in this video, and why there is much confusion about the AKX-10. I've made quite a lot of videos 'bout the AKX-X10 now. Maybe you wan't to check them.
Yes the Medeli Akx10 is quite an upgrade from the Casio CTX 5000. Jeremy makes anything sound good. But I'm sounding pretty good on my Medeli.
How did you go with your move from Casio to Medeli?
@@ManuelHernandez-bg8bldo you still love it?
I love both korg pa series and yamaha sx and now iam going buy Sx900 For our church purpose and its my dream keyboard and i dreamed it for 4 years and also saw your video of sx 900 love it jermy
You’re absolutely correct Jeremy regarding the Trinity Exam Syllabus,
The Yamaha PSR E 473 unfortunately does not include the Fingered On Bass facility,
as you are well aware inverted chords are very important in Grades 6 , 7 and 8.
Thank you for a splendid review
Grades 6 , 7 and 8: where can I get information about these test grade ? Heard about them a lot, like to have more info.
Great review, Jeremy See. Where I live (The Netherlands) the Medeli AKX10 is priced at €689. The Yamaha PSR SX600 is even cheaper, costing €615 only! But I’m actually convinced by your review that the Medeli would be a better option. Only downside are the built in styles that are lacking behind competitors. This is the case for any Medeli keyboard. Luckily it has the function to make your own styles.
Jeremy, I gotta say, thanks to this particular video I purchased this keyboard and have no plans on getting rid of it soon. It is amazing for a beginner like me. Thanks you
What features do you enjoy the most?
Gee whiz, Medeli is crazy - but good for our benifits when competition will profit us. Thanks, Jeremy.
I use this as my stage keyboard and have not have had any problems I have put over 1000 in less than a year and it stills performing like the day I got out the box
Wow! What a surprise from a brand I don't usually think about a lot. I would love to own one of these. Amazing sound and capabilities.
They did throw a curve ball. 😉
I am in France
I bought this keyboard after seeing your video
this is a great keyboard with awesome features for the price, i find it beautiful and sounds good
there were some bugs with the saving of effects in the firmware but I contacted medeli by mail who immediately sent me a new firmware with the instructions for the update
I spend hours day and night playing with it
Oliver, is the Medeli AKX10 available in French market? Here in Italy I'm waiting and waiting. New time for delivery now is scheduled for the end of September... It is really a good keyboard? Thanks I can't wait more, I'd like to try this new keyboard.
@@khriss75 I ordered the keyboard in the netherlands from klundertmusic
much cheaper, you can also order it in Germany at musicstore
I bought the AKX10 at the end of last month - unfortunately my one turned out to have some quality and some bug issues. 2 key notes started making a clunky noise after just 2 days of playing and when I clicked on one of the 3 assignable buttons above the pitch bend joystick the 2nd button would also light up for some reason, I would have to restart the AKX10 to make this issue go away. So it has some bugs. BTW I believe the AKX10 has bluetooth? but I haven't found where in the menu it's listed?
I ordered mine from Music store Germany and they are happy to replace it with another unit under the 30 days return policy. However I am double minded because even though I like this keyboard my first impression was not good as after just 2 days the 2 keys started making a clunky noise which was getting a little annoying when playing.
So I am wondering should I just order a Yamaha SX700 instead of asking them to replace it with another AKX10? Prior to ordering the AKX10 I owned an old Yamaha PSR640 which I bought brand new at the time and the build quality on that was very solid. That PSR 640 keyboard took 5 years of hard playing for a few of the keys to lose the original brand new feel and another 5 years before one key eventually stopped working. So it lasted 10 years of regular use without any major issues.
Any advice is welcome!
Salut Olivier chanteur français moi aussi je suis de France et content de discuter avec une personne qui comprend notre langue, j ai une question stp, je voulais m acheter le medili akx 10 et en regardant un peux sur le tchat beaucoup parlé de bug, firmware pas a jour, pour les styles il faut les créer soit même où tu peux quand même lancer un style est jouer et stp peut tu me dire si la langue française est bien a l intérieur,si je veux lui brancher un Roland JD-XI sa passe ou pas merci beaucoup pour me répondre cordialement Hérode
Ive been scouring over UA-cam trying to find the best balance for my classical, jazz and edm production and I think this is like one of the best laid out and lit up boards I have ever seen
Jeremy could you please do a more detailed in depth review of the Medeli AKX10 highlighting how to get the best sounds out of this Arranger Keyboard? I am sure that many of your channel viewers and myself would love to see a video similar to the ones you did for the Yamaha PSR-E373 which showed us that keyboards great features. Thanks for what you do to help us make informed choices before we purchase a new keyboard. I hope you realize how greatly appreciated you are and may God bless you and your family.
Until March, when Medeli said they will release a major update, the AKX 10 can't have any good review, because the keyboard is a mess and a lie. From Mixing style, edit style, to midi, even sounds.
I have comment with details.
If You want the AKX10 for sounds only, and You got good samples, it's ok. If You want to play live with styles, make your own styles, without knowing a DAW, forget about this keyboard.
A short real review? Did anyone wrote that You can't modify the pan of an instrument from style, live?
It can be done only in edit mode, and there, not even in play?
You can't listen in play (editing the style) and modify something.
And in live, You must be very precise when touching volumes. 1mm under the volume numbers and boooommm... The volume jumps to maximum.
I have this toy keyboard. I know what i wrote.
@@florincminor you are right, I bought two of these on an impulse, but they also have a problem when you record your own user styles, the keyboard freezes a lot when you try to record the fill section, as for my samples it’s great since it comes with a little bit over 700 mb of ram memory.. I was able to store my sound from the Yamaha DX7, Roland D50, korg M1, my gabbanelli accordion, and other sounds that I use for Mexican music, but other than that has a lot of malfunctions, I’m hoping the upgrade comes soon otherwise I just spent 1500 dollars on both for nothing.
The Medeli delayed to 1-15 april the update.
@@Beto_de_laredo_texas Why do you need two?
@@Beto_de_laredo_texas did they roll our the update?
Yes that's what I've been saying since I bought my first Medeli. These guys are getting in the competition with the big boys, like Yamaha, Korg and Roland. This keyboard looks and sounds beautiful. Need to get me one
Right on!
Share the url please.. can't find it for$699 as Jeremy mentioned :(
@@jasontan4730 You can find it on Thomann aswell. It's called Thomann Ak-1100 It's the same one but named different. It is 570 euros for me but It's different for every country for some reason. But it's cheaper then 600 for sure.
I'm sure Medeli licensed some of the technology from Yamaha and others.
Was waiting for this
It sounds very similar to a Yamaha PSR-2000/3000 and many features are similar. That isn't a bad thing, since Medeli has improved on that with a modern user interface, better polyphony and modern connectivity.
No. It sounds very similar to the Yamaha PSR-SX700 and even the PSR-SX900
Hi Jeremy, I have to thank you for your great work. During the passed 2 weeks I watched some hundreds of keyboard demos & reviews from your and other reviewer and shop channels. My old Yamaha CP5 is probably still one of the best pianos but carrying 25 kgs is not at all funny for an old man. So I was looking for something easier and also with more contemporary features, sounds and operability. And - surprise, surprise! - after quite a few sleepless nights on YT I made my decision and ordered a "Thomann AK-X1100" which is a Medeli-built 1:1 clone of the AK-X10 but with slightly nicer design and even a nicer price. Since I'm not considering myself as a keyboarder but just a pianist I hope that the thousands of keys and knobs and functions etc. will not drive me completely nuts (old man, you know... 🤯) and that I will not miss the 88 keys with natural piano action too much....
Anyway, thanks again for your excellent work and support and all the best from Germany!!! 😁🤘
Thank you for sharing and keep striving!
@@JeremySee UPDATE: After 3 days of intensive testing, I have now come to the conclusion that this keyboard unfortunately does not suit my needs for 2 reasons:
1. The mic input might be OK for karaoke once everyone has had enough alcohol, but not for more as it always sounds kind of artificial and tinny. 😖
2. The 61 keys are definitely not enough for me, because I would have to massively change my playing style.
So I will return the Medeli AK-X10 (or the Thomann AK-X1100 respectively) and hope that I can get along better with a Yamaha PSR-EW425 and its 76 keys... 🤷🏽♂
I got my AKX10 yesterday. I LOVE IT I tried Roland Juno, sent it back, tried Korg Kross and Krome sent it back also. I'm a Yamaha man, but saw you playing that Medeli AKX10 by accident, and I wanted to try it. GOT IT AND KEEPING IT. Thanks so much for sharing it on line. I play it with my Yamaha at Home, Church, (even at furerals ...quietly lol) and at a gig with some guys. I watch you on UA-cam, keep on playing !
How much did you pay for it?
@@gloriapinto4100 I paid $699 3 months ago. Thinking about selling it, though. I need something a bit simpler. It's extremely nice!
How do you like the sounds...? Are they as good as the sounds in the video...? I purchased the AKX10 because of this video - and after trying everything I could (not a pro) it doesn't sound nearly as good as the sound samples in this video...
One reason I like Yamaha arrangers is the user community to share ideas, files, sounds and styles, tools and help each other. I particularly love compatibility of sounds and styles.
This Meledi may be cheap, being new will there be a huge user community. Are styles and sounds easy to make?
Man I want this keyboard here in the USA!! Looking forward to a series of videos on this Medeli like you’ve made on Yamaha and KORG models 😁!
where can we get this in the USA?
@@robertbarfield4250 i guess Yamaha and Korg don't want that keyboard in the USA 😅😅
Unfortunately, this does not appear to be available in the USA. Hopefully soon.
You won't find Medeli keyboards at Guitar Center but Sam Ash carries them. There are a few stores nationwide but they probably do shipping.
@@Elositofluffy I emailed Medeli and they said they expect to have a distributor in the U.S. by September, but they didn't give much more info to me. I'll check out if Sam Ash can help. Thanks for the tip!
I just contacted Sam Ash and the person I chatted with did not seem to think Sam Ash would carry the AKX10. I wrote to Medeli a few days ago but haven’t heard back. I will probably go with the Yamaha SX600.
@@djba So I understand the Medeli AKX10 WILL be available in the U.S. soon. The only store I've heard so far is Jim Laabs Music in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. It is taking pre-orders and says on its website that it hopes to have it in stock late this month or early August.
a little trick to use the phrases and pad with wav sounds, I have this keyboard for several weeks, just create an instrument with the medeli granduite software, on each key you can put a wav sound like a jingle and then use the instrument with the phrase pad
Hi Jeremy, I have an sx600, a pa700, a juno ds but...but...but...maybe I'll try an akx10 too, as this video is very surprising. I think this keyboard will doing a big storm in the keyboard market just like the xiaomi mobile phone in the mobile phone market.
More competition is always good for us. 😍
@@JeremySee Can I connect an 88 MIDI keyboard to control the AKX10?
@@4KSnSLifestyle You always leave a comment at Medeli videos... I'm curious about that 😄
Great review...precise and concise, accurate, and well shot. This video is a great blending of form and function...logical, yet, greatly aesthetic. I will be buying this when it comes out in August.
Thank you for your kind compliments.
Just a quick update. I received my Medeli AKX 10 a couple of weeks ago. I am so very happy with it.
Posted this in two spots since i have seen so little in English on the AKX-10. Plus, Jeremy is king of all arranger reviewers, hands down. I just got this keyboard at Alto Music, Middletown NY. As most of you know, high end arrangers are in short supply due to Covid induced shortages. Wanted a PSR SX900 but took a shot with the AKX-10. My first impression is that the sounds are very good generally (listen here). That being said, I would give the stock acoustic pianos a B+ at most played as solo instruments, at least so far. Note, I am comparing this to my Kronos (not totally fair). The styles and combination sounds are very good, however. If you play The AKX-10 through a decent set of speakers (I had it going through my Presonus board to Yamaha studio monitors), it sounds fabulous. By common consensus, Its capabilities are off the hook but I have seen capable machines go unsupported and die. Hey, I took a chance. Just learning this unit and I am expecting perhaps to load other sounds. Nevertheless, at this price point it makes everything else I have heard sound pitiful. I traded a lowly Yamaha E463 (LOL) for this and the AKG-10 simply blows that out of the water in terms of sounds, capabilities etc. Yes, it is double the price of E463 but in terms of what is can do, it easily competes with the Yamaha PSR SX600/700 boards (see Jeremy See here for confirmation). Having the 7 inch touch screen alone is a joy at this price point. Speakers are very decent and probably suitable for background music in a small restaurant environment. Durability is the question. At $700 U.S., I am not too worried. Not saying anyone else should feel the same way, however. Finally, be aware the keyboard, as Jeremy notes, has no real ecosystem to support it at this point (help Jeremy!!!), so you are on your own for a bit. Finally, I went to Staples to print out the comprehensive (190 + page) and surprisingly well written online PDF manual to great benefit. It comes with a typical Quick Start PDF manual about 60 pages. John Roks and Jeremy See are the only people I have seen demoing this machine in English, so thanks guys. Best to all.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
@@JeremySee Jeremy thanks for ther shout out. Can not emphasize how much I value your input on arrangers. You are the authority in my mind and really deserve credit for your educating others and elevating arrangers. Be well.
Good review thanks
Can you please post a link to the PDF manuals for the AKX-10? Thanks (Jeremy's links do not work for me)
Intresting review - as always. But... For me, music is primerly sound, and I will always look for the best sound - for my ears - I can afford in an instrument, and rather get less tech. Sound is everything... 😉
Yup. That's why Yamaha made the Genos. In affluent economies, money isn't a problem. 😉
@Cebee. The Medeli sounds great and I have a Yamaha MODX8 too at home, so I can compare it. The AKX10 at 699 it's just crazy.
The price now is $899 from most places. Since there is very little support for the unit, I think it would be a risky buy. I do like some of the sounds on it, and the color touch screen looks good.
You got me there! I always found the high end keyboards Korg and Yamaha too much expensive to get one at 2000 + ... I just found a slight used one for 594$ USD! THANKS!! ; )
Wow, and from a brand I've never heard of before. 😀 Cool! I've always appreciated challenging "underdogs", a d keeps up the competition, & down the price, for best ROI.
Thank you so much, I don’t even have to watch the video completely to make my decision, Within the first 8 minutes I bought it, thank you God bless you. Greetings from Laredo Texas
Another great review! Thank you so much for all of the reviews you do!
Thank you. It makes all my hard work worth it.
Medeli is very receptive to customer requests ... I received an answer to my requests ... So, from March, keep an eye on Medeli AKX10 ... big changes in the operating system (OS) are announced. Thank you Medeli !! !
My concept is that Yamaha is a great company with many years of experience in the market and every product that lansa has been fully tested by sound engineers and professional musicians who are the ones that give the approval, in addition to the guarantee for failure or defect of manufacturing. As for Medeli, I think it is a good company, which is just growing, but it is far from being a competition for Yamaha.
well maybe in a few years it will be, if their instruments are as dependable.
well, you forgot to tell Yamaha is over 2200$ while this one is at 700$.. SO.. This is the keyboard for us intermeditate peoples who wish to have a high class keyboard at an affordable price but cant afford or want to put over 2000$ on a keyboard today. for that reason, Yamaha needs to not underestimate as many people, the underdog.
9:37 that style sounds uncannily similar to the Yamaha style of the same name. And it doesn't sound that bad too. I think for the price, it's a feature packed arranger.
At this rate, I won't be surprised if future Medeli flagship lead the market...
@@JeremySee bonjour vraiment je suis très intéressée mais je comprends pas l'anglais veuillez m'aider de comprendre ce piano psr SX 900 le prix ce combien et comment acheté moi je suis en République démocratique du Congo
Hello again Jeremy, I bet I've watch this video "20" times and the more I watch it the more I want the AKX10....
I have no idea when the keyboard is going to be available in the US....I heard maybe in October...we shall see.
I hope by then they have worked out any problems the keyboard might have...after waiting this long, one would hope the AKX10 will arrive perfect...
Thanks again buddy...you're the best....
Thank you for your kind compliments buddy. There'll be stock to go round soon. 😉
Ever get a akx?
Wow...mind blown. I am not sure how Medeli was able to pull this off. Amazing keyboard. Almost too good to be true. I must give this a try due to portability and serve as a backup if needed. Thank you for sharing this.
Couldn't agree more!
@@JeremySee Hello, I have finally pulled the trigger on a Medeli AKX10. I am very impressed with the Quality and sounds. I was able to replicate all the patches I had on my Motif ES. I have one question though, is it possible to configure Split points differently depending on a Performance on Voice? I think the only option is a Global Split point could impact ALL voices and performance Banks. I really hope that is the not the case.
First am hearing about this brand..but it does sounds good...will check it out.
GET AN MPC ONE AND DOWNLOAD ALL THE SYNTH APPS FOR FREE AND AUTO SAMPLE THEM. TRUST ME YOULL BE SOOOOO HAPPY. ITS INSANE HOW DOPE THE MOC ONE AUTO SAMPLER IS. AND YA CAN DO IT BLUETOOTH.
This is my advice to literally everyone lol I use it as my main keys voice. Even the Rhodes emulator isn't to shabby. It's the backbone of my keys studio. It sequences all my hardware, plays all my keygroups! I'm using a live so I even have the option to use the extra outs to send individual instruments back out for mixdown after I record them as a loop. With a good midi keyboard it's the full package, live or one. Can't stress enough too just how god damn much I love the sequencer. Always love spotting others out there who are part of the cult lol
Oh, I also don't need any other drumachine with samples and drum synth on board D:
This keyboard has shot to the top of my list...soon as I can afford it I'm having one..! Yamaha and the rest should take note.
I'm confused. Where is the $699 keyboard?
At for instance 6 mins in, & elsewhere you are looking at Medelli, apparently. Ot has an appreciably sized screen which is normally not seen on a "$699" keyboard so that 'might be' the confusing aspect to you. Possibly you may have to re-"view" some parts twice to clarify (?) I'm new to this keyboard's look also.
It was $699. For the longest time at all the music stores. But Medeli has resently raised thier price to $779.00. I just bought and received my Medeli akx10 from zZounds. I love this keyboard!
@@ManuelHernandez-bg8bl hi, r u still happy with your keyboard? I am in the market for a keyboard 🎹. Is it as good as it seems?
You appear to be easily confused 🙈
@@ManuelHernandez-bg8blhow is your Medeli? im leaning towards it or the yamaha SX600
Greetings, I own Medeli AKX 10, got it from AltoMusic, Middletown, NY.
Best thing plug and play Linux, general midi compliance. IT WORKS!
No Apple or MSFT needed, if you want to have a pro rig cheap.
I learned that Yamaha doesn't support android. Their boards are bricks to me.
No to proprietary software, most especially proprietary file extensions
BTW. I play my youtube music through a browser and the speakers on the Medeli alone I place at 400 retail.
Thank you Jeremy
Peace of Christ be with you
Wow that keyboards sounds incredible. Not sure it it has megavoices. But also curious if styles still use sty extention. I enjoyed the video. It;s a solid machine.
Nice that the AKX10 has so much expansion memory, but where can you buy packs? And Yamaha styles do not work on this Medeli, I have been able to test it myself at my music store and have been told that it contains an old sound chip from the PSR s900 from 10 years ago.
Great video as usual Jeremy, I really appreciate the efforts you put into this UA-cam channel! Does it have a chord sequencer/looper as in the Korg PA or Yamaha PSR-SX900? I can't find anything about that in the description on their website?
I already had the opportunity to test the keyboard on my channel and fully approve the MEDELI AKX10 is a very good instrument
Wow! Fantastic value! I want one
Build quality important, especially if you haul these things around with other gear. Looking forward to see it...
This sounds good, love the step sequencer, shame that Yamaha this not have no step sequencer.
I like it that you welcomed the quality of keybed and build, and many design thoughts put in this model. Based on your impressions, Medeli seems to be serious about making good products and becoming a more recognized brand - rather than doing easy ripoffs. Too bad I don't think I'll ever find it sold/used in Japan, anytime soon, coz the arranger market is basically non-existent here
Yup... The Nihon-jin don't seem to have much interest in Arrangers.
You're in Japan...
You have the best of the best:
YAMAHA
KORG
Roland
and instead, looking for this rip off ?!
You can't find Yamaha Genos or Tyros 5 in Japan ?
You can't find Korg Pa4x in Japan ?
You can't find the latest Roland Arranger keyboard in Japan?
Based on what actual proofs you're saying there is no market for Arranger keyboards in Japan?!
@@Talia.777 Sounds too silly to be true? I agree, but it IS true! You can't buy anything in the most premium range like Genos, Tyros 5 or Pa4x, unless you get a rare import (unofficial, unsupported.) Just a few of mid- and low-end models are quietly marketed here - but if you want to try out, you'll need to desperately look for one! Arrangers are so unpopular here, to that extreme. One reason I guess is Yamaha doesn't want to cannibalize its own Electone sales.
Medeli already has a distributor in Japan.
@@hcb3636 Medeli is already sold in 90 countries. Their model A2000 is exclusive with Chinese instrument sounds.
Finally I wanted to see someone playing on this cheap copy of the SX900. Good Play🍻
Excellent job Jeremy for reviewing this Keyboard as I own music Medeli A1000. Time to upgrade as soon is available in South Africa, 🤝🙌👏👊
Hello
I bought a Medeli AKX10 keyboard.
AKX10 don't have EQ for style tracks.
Not even Pan. Why isn't this option in the mixing console? (Any arranger with higher espectations have this options)
Or modify the effects of a style in the mixing console while I am playing live?
I tried to edit a style, but it doesn't change the instruments in the style while it's playing, to be able to hear how it would sound.
Is there a menu that I don't know?
And in the Style editor, how can I see in the Event List more?
It is shown only the note and the note lenght .
COntrol Change are not shown. The Reverb send, the Chorus send, the volume.. program change..
I want to make the pan moving inside a track. How can I do that?
How can I insert in a style, a program change? I need to change at half of a Main (Main C), to be other program change.
How can I insert it in Edit Events?
I have a Yamaha PSR A3000 Oriental.
If I record a formula on Bass, Phs1 or 2, it's played as recorded.
On AKX10 I can't even record it, because it only takes the C E G ,as C major chord.
Other notes are recorded as Event edit shows, but not played.
I try to put a line from my Yamaha PSR A3000 Oriental. THe Akx10 doesn't play the same line.
Why?
I try, exporting from Grand Suite, a style as midi file.
And to edit it in AKX10.
But in the song, it only have the option Delete or Quantize.
How can I modify notes, or controllers?
I am waiting for response from Medeli. Thank you.
Great review and comparison. Chinese musical instruments makers already captured the acoustic piano market. They improved a lot in specially acoustic pianos and now they are like driving the market. This keyboard can surely make a headache for already established companies. But I still believe in Japanese products and a German pianos. Japanese can definitely change the market as they have long experience and they can do anything. Keyboard look interesting 🤘
If China can build the iPhone, China can easily build electronic musical instruments just as good as the Japanese. After all that's how the Japanese killed all the American brand electronic instruments. The software and IP can be bought and licensed.

Hello Jeremy, love your reviews! Where can I purchase this in the US?...can't seem to find. Thank you
It will be available in more markets soon. Supply can't keep up for now.

Jeremy your reviews are just so good. Thank you.
It's been awhile since I sent a comment, but I have been watching your videos with great interest..thank you for all you work....The Medeli AKX 10 has made me a believer...for the price in my opinion, after watching your video, it will be the one I buy...I only wish I wasn't retired from performing, because I know I could make money with this great keyboard.. I will have to be content with entertaining myself...I know I will enjoy it..
Once again thank you my friend..and God Bless...
Thank you for sharing buddy. 😊
Jeremy, once again I have to thank you reviews on all the keyboards you present..You may remember that I showed great interest in the Medeli AKX,
and still do...As I mentioned before I've been a keyboard player all my life, and now retire
I have watched so many of your reviews on all the newest keyboards that have been introduced lately, that I find myself confused on which one to buy...but I seem to keep coming back to the Medeli AKX.
Like you mentioned, for what it offers for the money I feel it will be the AKX .....Who knows the AKX JUST MIGHT PULL ME OUT OF RETIREMENT....but for now I await a call from one of the music stores I've talked to regarding the arrival of the AKX.
I thank you for all you do to keep us informed on what's going on the world of keyboards...You're the best the friend...and ...God Bless....
Hi Jeremy, hello from your friend in Chicago....
Well, first of all I am happy to report that I am in striking
distance to purchasing the MEDELI AKX 10....It looks like my patience for this keyboard has paid off....I have made contact with a music center in the state of Maryland who have them in stock...I had a conversation with one if their sales reps and I hope to put the deal together by the first of next week...if so, they will be shipping it to me free of charge....I must admit Jeremy I'm excited about finally
getting the MEDELI AKX 10...
I can not tell you how much I appreciate you for your info
regarding the AKX10....
I WILL show my appreciation sir.
This I promise...I'll keep you informed on my progress regarding my purchase and getting the MEDELI AKX ...
Thank you again for all you do...
Your Friend....Ronnie ...God Bless....
Wonderful. God bless you... As the dear ... This Christian song that you have started playing is wonderful
Would you please do a complete breakdown of this keyboard? In particular, I'm interested in learning whether there are multiple modes of recording available like step sequencing and overdub, or if there is a plan to add these later if not currently available.
Hello again my friend....well I'm here to report that I took delivery today on my MEDELI AKX 10....I was able to find it at a music center in Maryland call Chuck
Levin's Washington Music Center....I know it will keep me busy for a few weeks just getting to know what this keyboard can do...I'm watching your videos on the AKX10, I know they're going to be a great help....Thank you again buddy for all your help...God Bless...
Have fun, buddy!❤️
same place i got mine. I do suggest you invest on a good set of studio monitors like rokit K5 to unleash its sound quality.
I bought one in Europe two weeks ago, and I have had to return it due to a defective keyboard: the C7 key, the sharpest one, the last to the right, slightly but clearly sinked, misaligned and with abnormal bounce ¿Wasn't this AKX10 going to be the beginning of a new standard of quality for Medeli?😞
Edited: I contacted Medeli Spain.. they told me that the AKX10 is expected by July, therefore what probably happend to me was that I bought a test or demo item; they assured me that they are paying a lot of attention to the quality control...
I hope so, we will see...
I would like to see more review of the akx10 with the new firmware.
Wow Hallelujah is write thank you mr.J for this video a game changer I’m selling my ctx-5000 . The akx features are incredible
hey jeremy
I follow your channel for a while now and very nice explanation of every piano or keyboard you show.
i own the psr sx600 and now i doubt the medeli AKX10 for the sound quality??
it has more features and stuff, but do you recommend it over the psr sx600?
if its possible to go more in debt on the medeli AKX10,
to know more before buying
Hi Jeremy I'm using medeli akx10. Can you tech me how to change the factory voice and save the New voice.
Thanks
Excellent review. Casio cts400 next, please
Coming soon!
Awesome keyboard ! 100€ more than a PSR-SX600 here in France but this big and bright screen looks fantastic. Thank you for all these informations, I am reassured about the quality of this instrument...
Jeremy gets you ready to purchase a keyboard then shows you something else that changes your mind and the cycle starts over 😃 I will check this out. The lord pa 700 and above keyboards have all the features I want but then it’s hard to pull the trigger on the price.
Hehe... The PA700 is quite a bit of money...
Awesome Review! Wonderful Job, Jeremy. is it available already available locally?
Hi,
Why didn't you talk about the oriental sounds of Iranian and Arabic instruments and chromes? Does the device not have this capability?
If anyone is wondering, this is the Medeli AKX10.
It showed that at the beginning or a little after
It's literally impossible to find this keyboard anywhere. But looks and sounds good for something, that costs only around 699 bucks.
Supply challenges should ease soon.
Medeli is saying that it should be available in the US in August 2021
Hello Jeremy, congratulations, great review! How would you compare this AKX10 to Korg PA700 in terms of sound quality? Thanks.
Can you do live looping?
Awesome review...thankyou Mr See
Sick drum and trumpet loops. Sure to have your family and friends partying to your music in no time
Jeremy HELP this one or the DGX670???? Tnx bro (not relevant x me 88 keys)
Same question
This is an incredible arranger keyboard fir the price. Very impressive. Though it may not be a well known name brand, it shiws that people that know their stuff, including visualizing and creating they overall design function, sound, features and production and material composites and such can rival or surpass the performance, price and quality of products that cost much more if they do not need the resources to build at a higher production volume level as thise bigger brands. They just may not have as good dustribution and availability.
Again you covered all points well. Great design and connector interface rear oanel, aesthetic design, quality controllers, and vast amount of tones, styles and various settings ane data storage capability for such. And the ambience lighting is a nice touch. It's hard to scrutinize the sound quslity of the voices from a video, but they sound pretty good. To me, unless they are obviously lacking, my most critical attention goes to tge acoustic and electric piano, organs and other keyboard tones, strings and acoustix guitars and wind instruments.
That's all I can think of, and can't imagine much to be finicky about except the joystick controller. I would prefer the Roland type pitch bend/modulation lever.
But I would rather get the new Casio CT-S1, as this, the arranger keyboards and even my Roland Fantom X6 I prrviously had as such a steep learning curve and capabilities. Besides the few things I wish it had, it's the best non arranger keyboard for $200 in my opinion, and a great improvement over the Casio CT-S300, except for lack of the pitchbend wheel.
One of my pastors, the worship leader at church just tokd me this Sunday he is looming into getting a new keyboard, so, I don't have to get that, but he akways consults with me, since he knows I am much more knowledgeable about what is available. His old $500 Yamaha is showing age, wear and tear, though still soubds good, but I recommended the Yamaha DGX-670, and the Roland RD 88 as a more pricy akternative I eould even pay the difference for. And I also recommended the Casio CT-S1 for him to take home and to outreaches and elsewhere.
So many choices of quality instruments at different price levels that are reasonable and affordable.
With either 88 key digital piano I mention at church, my Go:Keys and JD-Xi, there's just 3 more keyboards I would want fir different purposes. The Casio CT-S1, the Yamaha Reface CP and the Roland VR combo VR-09 B. Sweetwater includes a USB fkashdrive with custom design voices to double what comes in the keyboard.
Great insight! Thanks for sharing. 👍🏼
Medeli will be more appealing when it implements audio ( .wav ) in styles and especially more flashram than yamama and why not, having a portable module will be the winning move !!!
Jeremy you are stellar in driving us to the truth. I live the « if you are not able to make music on a 700$ keyboard no chance to make it on a 1500$ more ». I havé Yamaha PSRs since 90’s years plus synths and never a problem. So it is probably in the service after sales that Yamaha makes the difference. Also in Europe if you want to save again 100$ you can buy Thomann mark which is same except lower memory for samples. Thanks to ne there
Can you do pls a style review 1-280 styles
Excellent, glad to see detailed examination of keybeds...much appreciated
Thanks for watching!
I really enjoyed the video Jeremy and the software you showed in the video for sampling for Medeli is looking really helpful caz YEM always sucks and very limited
Very helpful video
God bless you bro
Yes, Medeli software is easy to use.
It's sort of impossible to buy anywhere, nobody stocks this.
Right…I tried but not available
You can find it on eBay I saw it there.
@@chavitafloresmusictv3468 Share the url please. $699 ? That's just a marketing hype as can't find it in market..
Jeremy I was looking at the Medeli .x10 AK two years ago , I would still like to buy one ,, and look at some more of Medeli synths and if they make 88 key pianos ,
Modern looking keyboard with a PSR 3000 soul
Thank you Jeremy for the comprehensive review!
I had not even ever heard about the name Medeli but Wow...., it looks impressive for the price. The screen resolution and responsiveness are great features too; I really don't like the one on the Korg PA-1000, with the graphics quality of a PacMan game from the 80s.
Anyway, when will it be available in tlhe US?!. I would like to pre-order as soon as possible!
Also, will it be able to play yamaha's psr 950 or Korg styles from a USB stick??
Got me hooked! Only issue is I can't find this in the US. Only two things that I would like to see. The first is my Korg PA800 has 'Digital Drawbars', the ability to control the drawbars from the screen. The second is I would like to see a 76 key version.
Yeah, my Korg PA800 is getting long in tooth, but this is a pretty good sounding keyboard.
😉
Jeremy, I used to believe your keyboard reviews were honest and informative and without bias! I bought a Medeli AK-X10 and quite frankly I am more than disappointed!! It really isn't a patch on the Yamaha PSR sx900 (my main keyboard) or even my PSR sx700. Why? Well, one reason is that if doesn't display lyrics when playing midi files, Both the Yamaha PSR SX900 and SX700 do! Many other cheaper/older keyboards also have this facility. Another is that GM midi files don't appear to work on this keyboard. Therefore I cannot play my midi files through the keyboard. The sounds of instruments are, er um, nothing like as authentic as on my PSR SX keyboards or even my Korg EK50.
Your thoughts would be very much appreciated.
Mike
The keyboard is a joke. And an expensive joke. A big fraud.
Read my comment above. That is a real description of AKX10.
@@florincminor I bought Medeli AKX10 ... Conclusion: If you really want to be a Professional Arranger you urgently need a lot of improvements on the part of Creator Style (I will list them all in an email addressed to Medeli), otherwise it will remain only a toy with a very good sound. We are waiting for UPDATE
Thank you Jeremy for your expertise.
Can you make a review for Max KB6 Piano? You can find it on Amazon, I just wanted to know if it's worth the money
This was super helpful! In my home studio, I've always had an 88 weighted key midi controller and soft synths but recently I've had need for a gigging keyboard for some gigs and didn't want to lug my MIDI controller, laptop, etc. This KB seems like a great choice for a gigging KB that won't break the bank but has good sounds! Thanks for your in depth review!
Which midi keyboard do you recommend?
Hi Jeremy, great review but I don’t share your enthusiasm.
Whereas this keyboard is jam packed with features on paper, for me there are to major issues:
1) the sounds. When I am listening to your video, I am hearing boring Yamaha patches from 15 years ago. The Grand Piano patch of the PSR E373 and the Stage Piano of the Casio CT-X800 sound better to my ears! Same thing with the styles. They feel as if they’ve been programmed ages ago. I find that the sounds and styles of my CT-X800 are fresher. And I’d buy the DGX670 anytime over this Medeli.
2) The second issue is the ecosystem. I am strongly doubting that Medeli would ever give the same support to their users as Yamaha and Casio are giving, for instance through their very friendly and active user forums.
The durability of this keyboard is also questionable. If there is an issue, will it be easy to repair the keyboard? What about the spare parts disponibility?
If I upgrade my CT-X800, I’ll probably go for a Casio CT-S400 or the upcoming mysterious red model with control Knobs... hopefully a revamped CT-X5000 with improved user interface?
Or else I’ll trade in my DGX650 for the new DGX670.
Have a nice day 🌈
Indeed, that's why there are many keyboards to choose from. 😉
I see a lot of potential for me with this over all those you mentioned. I’m not so worried about old sounds seeing the features it has. I can upgrade via computer/iPad plus the sound and style expansion. If this keyboard holds up over time I think musicians better grab it quick for that price. I thought I saw 3 part harmony on website. Not sure if that is vocal but the sounds he played are very usable.
I flipping love these videos. Some of the best demos of keyboards I can actually afford!
Thank you!
Now im curious..... i like the yamaha psr sx series because already play it twice, but this keyboard...
Man mr jerremy nice review!!!
I hope someday this keyboard will be available in the USA.
It is available in the USA, just demand has outstripped supply
@@JeremySee your affiliate links are not linked to this keyboard.
Yup. It is ridiculously backordered. So the links will point to an alternative. Check back later when stock is in and the links will point you in the right direction.
Hi Jeremy - it's been a while and I've been busy elsewhere. Methinks this keyboard is really going to upset the market. From what I could see and hear it really impressed. I disliked a couple of sounds (some trumpet-like voices were a bit thin for example) but at the price . . .well! You didn't have a lot to say on the overall quality of the styles, an area where Yamaha is usually significantly above the rest of the competition, but neither did you really voice any complaints. I don't know how widely this is (or will be) available on the international market, but it should give the majors a fright (and Yamaha for one, tends to be slow to respond to new challenges. When a new product eventually emerges it's often worth the wait, but I think the time has come when their product development divisions need to put on some pace when faced with competition like this). As they say in the classics - v-e-r-y interesting!
An absolute pleasure to hear from you Bryan! Hope all is well down under. I've got vaccinated so things are looking well. Indeed, Yamaha better not rest on their laurels. The AKX10 was supposed to be launched last year but Medeli decided to take more time to get everything right and it show.
@@JeremySee It shows indeed Jeremy (and good to be in touch) Get vaccinated next week and from Monday we are almost 100% restored to normal - although I think 'normal' will never be quite what is was anywhere in the world.
Sorry, my attention must have drifted during one section at my initial viewing. I did you an injustice as you discuss the flexibility of styles and style creation in detail and you also preface that with a comparative comment of the quality of the styles. It was first thing in the morning (5am) when II first watched this review and somehow the coverage of the styles quality didn't sink in. Sorry Jeremy. Watching again also reinforced the great versatility of the unit - a worthwhile exercise. The question now: I am finding little time to spend with my Yamaha 900 so I'm not getting value for money. So do I sell the Yammy and buy one of these?? I guess not. [PS. As an organist - pipe organ - that brief example of a pipe organ sounded quite authenticaly like a small baroque instrument.]
Hi, Jeremy. You are a good guy and have tried many different keyboards, including the one shown in the video. I have a question: is this model capable of replacing the PSR-3000 that has fallen into disrepair, on which I have been playing for many years? I couldn't decide on the sound after listening to the video, I want to know your opinion.
Jeremy need another keyboard, should I get the Medeli SP4200 Hammer Action Digital Piano, 88-Key the Dgx670 or Medeli akx10. I am a song writer and composer. I play jazz shows, church and country and western original songs. I will use your link of coarse? Thank in advance by the way you look great! Love your channel, I have been watching you for years. Wait tried to follow link to buy Medeli akx10. Is it the right Sweetwater link? Ok. Medeli AKX 10 is not available yet? Link took me to the Medeli 4200.
