hey guys, looking at the comments, I just wanna clarify something.. 🤓 These are mostly Turkish and Arabic sounds and a bit Greek. I doon't know about Greeks but in Turkey 🧿 we consider ourselves Middle Eastern, or Anatolian, but not Asian (only bcoz Asia seems soooo far away from here). The word "Türkçe" on the left side of the keyboard 0:40 simply means Turkish (the language - although, I think they didn't mean to specify the language, but the culture/people; so it could have just said "Türk").
I enjoyed watching. Looks like a oriental version of the psr e313. Whenever Yamaha makes a psr e383 they can put a pitch bend wheel. And (still waiting for the e473) very fun 🤩 keyboard 🎹
BuickGeek24 Yep, that’s what I think, too. I had the E313 (my first Yamaha keyboard) for some time but I sold it again because it had no register so all settings were completely lost when powering the keyboard off. Not very convenient. Other than that, this A300 has nice sounds and rhythms.
I don't know how you get your hands on these oddities, but dang, that's pretty cool! I'd give my eye-teeth to have my own personal digital Hossam Ramzy! *Do a youtube search for him and listen to Tabla Solo - man he's awesome!*
Well, I found the answer myself. It is all explained on page 29 of the Manual: fr.yamaha.com/files/download/other_assets/9/333779/PSRA300_en.pdf#page29
Another idea just crossed my mind: since the PSR A300 has MIDI in and out, this tiny programmable keyboard could be used to set custom scales and then control any other MIDI device. Could it be coupled to a Yamaha DJX I wonder...?
Woah, now you're really thinking outside the box! I guess it's a question of whether the slave keyboard wants to play ball. I think that small keyboard is faulty on this particular one, I couldn't get anything out of it...
Gearfacts Too bad, it is probably the nicest feature of this PSR A300. By the way, you can’t play anything from this tiny little keyboard, it is just there to set your custom tuning, which you can then store in one of the four dedicated buttons on its right.
That's right, I beleive it's 17 notes in the Arabic "octave" is that right? Anyway, on that subject I should say that I did find it tricky to specify the kind of tuning I wanted, it seemed to hop around a bit randomly depending which voice was selected. Pressing the "Portable grand" button seemed to always reign it in to western tuning.
Gearfacts Hi, it works the same way as arpeggios on other PSRs I believe. This means that when you choose a particular tone, there is a default tuning going together with it, for instance if you choose a Sitar, by default you will get an Indian tuning. But you can always the choose equal temperament, any other tuning or - and this is where this becomes really funny - program your own custom tuning.

Interesting comment - thanks for sharing that, and thanks for watching my video :)
@@gearfacts Thanks for making them! Im sure I'll have watched them all soon 🤩
Kindly give information about memory and oriental scale
It's all here, Abhi: europe.yamaha.com/en/products/musical_instruments/keyboards/portable_keyboards/psr-a300/index.html
@@gearfacts Thank you
I have this, this is really good

Somehow, I am5 not able to play standard chords
The Easy Chord features is not correct
Please if anybody can guide
Thank you
So this just seems to be an arabic version of the PSR-E303

Good luck sir 🎉
Cheers :)
Do you have any idea how to echo the sounds?
If you go into the function menu and look at the reverb section, there might be an "echo reverb" but to be honest I don't think it can be done.
Mr.Gearfacts, those rhythms are bhangra, etc. Indian music.
Did you perhaps get my Xio reset links ?? I know UA-cam can be screwy at times.
Yep I got 'em :) My xio is long gone, though. Other viewers will find them useful
Haha, interesting keyboard^^ I like it
Yep I love it

Pro Tabla playing is something I've always admired. People say "oh but it's just a drum" ...no way, I think it's an artform in itself :)
@@gearfacts I couldn't agree more - and those 12 beat time signatures! Makes me want to get up and jump around. Crazy!

Hey i have one i got for 70 euros
How to make echo
Try pressing FUNCTION many times until you see REVERB or DSP. If you are lucky there might be an echo option.:)
Hi, interesting video. What is the usage of the small keyboard above the left side of the main keyboard?
Well, I found the answer myself. It is all explained on page 29 of the Manual: fr.yamaha.com/files/download/other_assets/9/333779/PSRA300_en.pdf#page29

@@HubertEtAlice thank you for user manual
Yamaha and Roland make a lot of keyboards for the Asian market.
Barry Pethers Well this one is for Arabic countries thus not Asia actually.
True I'm just saying keyboard manufacturers make special versions for those markets, like my Roland Juno DS is known as a XPS 30 in India
Barry Pethers yes this is true.
@@HubertEtAlice middle east
What is the country of origin?
Designed in Japan, probably assembled in China (but I’m open to be corrected on that)

Sounds a bit out of tune :/
Wilykat it’s not out of tune, the Arabic tuning is different than our occidental equal temperament tuning.
That's right, I beleive it's 17 notes in the Arabic "octave" is that right?
