@@gearfacts Yeah. Now learning to play again after 30 years! Got a quick question for you. The tempo for style seems to reset every time I change the style. Is there any way to 'set' or keep the tempo for a style?
Patrick Arend I totally agree. The only competition is Casio’s CT-X keyboards which sound great but are utterly painful to operate :/ Yamahas next generation is going to be incredible I think. GF
In sample zone A, I'm finding that the pitch shifting is also affecting the tempo. Is this expected? I am aware that's a typical audio effect (as to shift the pitch up, you speed up the audio) but also that it's possible to process audio tones without affecting the tempo. I think I hear the same in your samples (ie 8 minute mark). Can anyone confirm? Is this possible to fix, as it really limits being able to use samples with a rhythm in a song. Thanks so much!
Hi very nice job. I think that you are pushing the E463 way further than even the craziest of Yamaha engineers dreamt of. Maybe they should give you a job in their R&D departement 😎😉 Now I wished I had kept this keyboard...
Would you beleive they were offering a job in Melbourne last year for someone to make all their in-house demo and instructional videos ....drool.... I was actaully invited to apply for it - but 700km is a long commute....
is we can create a samle on whole keys? for example record a real piano note voice and add as sample to this keyboard and play piano musics with all 61 keys?
Hi !All the samples you have provided sounds like *industrial techno* style ? Is that right? so this sampling functionality is useful for DJ like minded guys. What about using it for a sax sound? As far as I can see it's not useful for the two reasons ; first, B-C-D-E zones are limiting the upper key range, and secondly, one recorded sample for the whole keys is not going to be good looking anyway... ?
Yeah I've found this and all samplers to be quite terrible when it comes to acoustic sounds like saxophone. A sampler is artificial-sounding by nature, you have to let it be what it is. So bleeps, noises and sound effects are usually the best things for sampling :)
@@gearfacts How much different sound samples can be active in the different zones across the keyboard at one time? In Each zone a complete different sample would be great? Or just one sample across the whole keyboard? So let's say a doorbell in zone A, a barking dog in zone B, a twinkling star sound in C etc etc
I am tempted to buy a E463. I read in the manual that you can save the samples on the USB stick and load them from the USB stick later when needed. Are the samples saved in WAV format ? Can we put our own samples (and rename them SMPLnnn so that the instrument accept them) ? If it's possible, do you think that if the sample contain loop informations the E463 is able to interpret them ?
This is a great question. Sadly, the sample files are VERY inflexible. You can't interchange with .wav so you can't import your own samples. You also can't edit the samples you create on the 463 at all. You record a sample, and that's how it will stay for ever, in .qsf format which can't be opened by any other software. UNLESS some cool person out there will create some software for this purpose. I would LOVE THAT!!! I still think it's a great keyboard though, purely because it's just so fun to use.
You can have a total of 6 samples at a time. One chromatic sample for the lower 49 keys, and 5 non-chromatic samples dispersed over the reaming upper keys.
@@gearfacts since the chratic sample quality decreases when we deviate from the root, i was thinking if there is a way i can assign modi sounds from co.puter individually into this and save it as a file. Can it be done?
Hey bro! Can you please tell me the difference of the keys fell and quality between this thing and my NP-32? In fact, I'm interested in the EW-410, that seems to be same building quality. But as I told you recently on your NP-30 video, I got upset with the NP-32 keys, and afraid for the same case on EW-410. If not, it could be almost perfect for me! Thanks for helping videos and comments, congrats and keep going! Best
Antonio Carlos ACSJR I’ve played the PSR-EW410 and I thought the keys were much nicer than the NP32. They have a less glossy, more grippy surface and a bit more weight /Gearfacts
Gearfacts Thanks bro. Very useful answer that I've been looking for so long... I was in doubt if the 410 could be heaven or hell, and you gave me the exact parameter I needed. Now its a goal. Best, bro.
Hello Gearfacts,, could please help me to decide,, im so, so confused about realistic piano sound,, Which keyboard has a realistic piano sound,, Yamaha psr e453 or e463.???
jun catamora Both of these models have exactly the same piano sound. Only buy the 463 if you want to do some sampling. Everything else is the same :) #geargacts
I’m surprised, but to my broken ears it sounds as if the 463 sampling engine is quite gritty?! I‘m not that interested in the keyboard itself but I‘m always on the hunt for sampling toys. Would you say that the 463 imparts a bit of character to the sampled sounds?
Hi Musique, yes I'd say it imparts a bit of personality on the samples. The stereo pickup is excellent I think. The management of samples is a bit painful, very slow and limited. And I really don't like its lack of trigger-recording and inability to set start/end times. But it's enjoyable to mix samples with the synth sounds. I personally love this machine, but I guess if you were 90% in the sampler business then you might find it too annoying to use :) #gearfacts
Out of interest how do you find recording out of headphone output on these home keyboards is there extra noise or can you overcome that. Kind regards as usual Heath Wiseman thank you
Recording from the headphone socket is a bit noisier but it makes it easier for me to synchronize my voice and what you see on the screen. It's good enough for youtube vids but in a studio I'd always use line out :) #gearfacts
Hi there - sadly no, batteries won't recharge that way. The only keyboards I've ever seen that can do that are some of the Novation models. It's a great idea though, all devices should do it! Gearfacts
@@gearfacts thank you, you already took my doubt, even if I tried, my prs463 keyboard was with the batteries used up, and I connected the charger, after a while I disconnected it and it turned off, the batteries were not charged.😣
@@gearfacts So, if i use the Mic In port, and get a microphone with XLR to P10 cable i can record my voice sound and input on the bank of sounds to use on zone A sampler like a tone? Understand that i"ll only buy the ew410 if i can use the mic to capture samples of ambient sounds, including my own voice. Because all the videos talk about a device like a smartphone in the aux in, but they never demonstrate with a microphone using our own voice as a sample...
In a Casio CTK 4400 or 5200 i can even use an aux input to plug in a mic with XLR / P2 adapter and use it for sampling, without a dedicated mic input. The problem is that this is used on the entire keyboard. I like the possibility of dividing the keyboard into 4 octaves in "Pitch Sampler" and an octave with Yamaha loops.
@@heliotron8042 Ok I think I can see what you mean. Yes you can record your voice as a sample. The only tricky part is that the sampling input of the 463 is just a tiny 3.5mm stereo socket. But I'm pretty sure that P10 will be fine - if not I'm sure you can get an adapter very cheaply from an electronics store. So yes, I think the PSRE463 will do everything you want it to. It can even provide a bit of input boost which will help if your mic is passive. Let me know how it goes! In fact if you send me some video I'd be happy to create a demo from it :)
@@gearfacts Very grateful for the prompt return! So, in this video (at 1min 50sec) the input is P2 (3.5mm) and this simple Casio effectively uses the mic with XLR adapter for P2.

@@yugeen1663 Hi Yugeen, time is limited so I suggest you refer to the manual (Google "Yamaha PSR-E463 PDF") or have a look at item 333731441035 on ebay. Or if you have a specific question I might be able to answer it instantly
Hello Gearfacts, in PSR E463 when I access FUNCTION MODE, what is the purpose of "LoadSMPL" or "SaveSMPL", and how do I proceed for this parameter. Thanks. Luis Pedrosa
If you have created a sample sound using the 'quicksample' function, you can save it to USB with the 'saveSMPL' option. I've made and saved lots of samples, so I can use "LoadSMPL" to get them back from the USB drive. The PSR-E463 can hold 5 samples at once. Hope that helps :) #gearfacts
vbdx66 Hmmm a playlist you say... I know you can load up a midi file from USB and play it but I’m not so sure about a playlist per se. I’ll look into it.
Gearfacts Go have a look at page 64 of the manual. You can play all internal songs or MIDI files that are on your USB stick, even audio files for that matter.
I finally got around to trying your samples and loaded the BGN Synth 2. Lovely! It's nice, fat, and resonant.
That outro was solid!
Yeah, I was quite pleased with it, thank you for noticing!
