  • Yamaha Portable Keyboards are famously popular. Exciting features make them great for casual musicians and electronic musicians alike. The newest PSS line features the PSS-E30, PSS-A50 and the PSS-F30. The three keyboards share a number of similarities, 37 key, battery or USB powered, under 3lbs, built-in speakers, head phone output, and they are all under $100. However, each of these small portable keyboards brings their own mix of features to the table and will appeal to different buyers. Tim Root compares the features of each keyboard to help you decide the best option for your next keyboard purchase.

  • @mbchannel1037
    @mbchannel1037 4 роки тому +81

    I have both A50 and F30, and this is my honest review if someone still couldn't decide which one you want to buy.
    PSSA50
    Pros
    - Can be use as a Midi controller
    - You can adjust the Octave from -04 until 04
    - Have 3 motion effects ( To me, they're not important )
    - Can record and play a track( in Loop ).
    - Touch sensitivity
    Cons
    - You only can record ONE instrument sound.
    - Only 42 voices
    - a little bit complicated to use( You have to hold SHIFT everytime you want to adjust anything.
    - a little bit expensive.
    - Very thin Cheap plastic Body Panel.
    PSS F30
    Pros
    - Many voices.
    - Not complicated to use( Just straight to the point )
    -Many demo/ built in rhythms (songs)
    - Octave can be adjust from -02 to 02 (61 keys standard keyboard)
    Cons
    - Can't be use as Midi controller
    - No touch sensitivity
    - Can't record and play track
    - No Motion effects
    - Very thin Cheap plastic Body Panel
    I would recommend for beginners or none beginners that looking for a portable keyboard to use as just for fun. It's better to get PSS F30, because it has many voices.
    If you want a portable keyboard that can be use as Midi controller PSS A50 is the good option.
    Anyway, I am a little disappointed with Record and Playback feature from PSS A50. User only can record a Single instrument sound.
    Note: Please do not put these keyboards in hot room temperature. Otherwise, the body panel will crack easily due to its thin plastic body panel.

      E30 is for kids. F30 is for all ages. E30 has animal sounds and interactive quizzes. F30 has more instruments and music styles.
      But they both have the same build and chip. Both are good and it all depends on what you want

    I think a keyboard without key sensitivity is not a proper instrument.. You just can not express the feelings without control on the volume of each note.. I think A50 is the clever choice.

    That A50 could have 61 larger keys, just a little bigger speaker .. multiple record banks and some more synthesizer tricks.. In a proper body with robust buttons and knobs..
    Would it cost a fortune?
    I dont think so..
    It is a pain to think.. getting so close to perfect and... just missing..
    A50 could have been legendary with a little more effort

      A50 is just a smaller version of yamaha keyboards. Why look at the pss lineup if you want more features?
