Thanks Jeremy. Faguinho Chaves is one of the best keyboard players in Brazil and in addition to music producer and samplers. He presented this keyboard on his channel and gave a good impression, but in yours hand , everything turns to gold
Medeli has been making his own brand‘s keyboards and e-drums for nearly 40 years. But their brands are mainly targeted at the low-end market and are very popular in Africa. Even most Chinese musicians don't know them. And Medeli's another main business is to help Kurzweil, KORG, M-Audio, ALESIS, ddrum, Simmons Drums, KAT Drums......and many other brands to manufacture instruments. It's like a builder who has built too many houses, he can also become an architect to design some blueprints. I think some techs or UI in this unit are not copied, but authorized by Yamaha. It may even be that Yamaha wants to use Medeli to seize the low-end market, and share profits together. It happened before, some Medeli keyboards use the same Kurzweil sound library. By the way, the management in OEM factories nowadays is very, very strict. For example, Foxconn, which makes iPhones, can't even secretly make one more iPhone itself. Apple can track every single chip and motherboard. Not to mention plagiarism, losing huge OEM orders for unknown markets. In fact, the relationship between the OEM factory and these world-famous brands is very good. There will be a lot of problems in the manufacturing process (just like an architect's scheme, may easy to draw but hard to build in the real world). These OEM factories will help these brands a lot to solve a lot of problems. In return, these brands will also provide Medeli with some tech support. Why do I know these? My friend's factory makes headphone for Sennheiser, SONY, BOSE, AKG and so on. Even some new model, SONY just came to the OEM factory and choose the speaker unit. They just design the shell. XD
Based on the price of this unit, it looks like Yamaha is making a very sweet profit on their arranger keyboards. I hope Medeli sends you a test unit. Excellent reporting, Jeremy.
I'm sure Yamaha is certainly making good profit. But there is still nothing in the class of the PSR-S/SX series. It's so easy to make music with them.. Just that they are too expensive. You'll need more effort with, say, a Roland BK or Casio CT-X.
and AKX10 operates very close to SX900 / Genos, only the styles and voices quality need to be improved with firmware upgrades. AKX hardware look very good.
At last my dreamy wish has come true. Indeed I have been waiting for almost last 15 years to see Cheap China clone Workstation Keyboards but in good quality for musicians as they mostly do with smartphones and I am sure this will end the monopoly of Korg, Roland and YAMAHA..Thanks for breaking this news JEREMY!
Hi Jeremy, I have been distributing Korg keyboards in my country for many many years, and I do know that the Korg factory publishes a list price named something like "Medeli factory", so I am 100% sure that Medeli manufactures many Korg pianos and keybords. And my friend that distributes Yamaha in another country told me that Medeli also manufactures keyboards for Yamaha: both Medeli and Yamaha share the same main circuit board. I have also distributed Medeli keyboards for 10 years or more and I can assure you that they are highest quality!...after hundreds or thousands of pianos and keyboards sold in 10 years, almost 0% come back for technical service. The quality is incredible good!!!
10:46 - It's the same Live! Classical/Nylon Guitar present on PSR-2100 (I still have my PSR-2100) and released first on PSR-9000. This guitar sound was present until Tyros 1 and PSR-3000. This Medeli AKX10 is a copy from previous Yamaha keyboards such as PSR-S, Tyros 1 and legacy top models, but I consider that this keyboard can be an attractive choice. I was studying its owner's manual and I could see that all voices are 100% compatible with GM/GM2 standard, many of them can be copy from special Yamaha voices such as Live, Sweet and Cool.
Medeli is really good, I have a Medeli SP400 which can be considered a "clone" of the Alesis Coda Pro, but no, is a really good digital piano. It has 88 fully weighted keys, it has front headphone jacks which I love, frontal usb, nice screen. And it's roughly $400-$499 USD not bad at all.
Medeli AKX10 has "chord velocity" feature that I could not find on Tyros, Genos. With chord velocity, the style is played with soft or loud volume based on how hard one play chords with left hand. Pretty useful feature as it allows the style to be played with some dynamics, similar to touch response for right hand playing. This feature makes a lot of sense. Correction about: "Yamaha can certainly add this feature with a simple firmware upgrade BUT .... as usual, Yamaha holds it OFF for "next generation" keyboard forcing us to buy new models". YES, Yamaha keyboards also have this feature, I start using it from now on.
You are such a great source of experience and advice and you have made great comparison videos that made all of the difference for me to be comfortable with my purchases.
Nice keyboard and a lot of really great sounds. I just wish the speakers were rear mounted. Top mounted speakers always make the keyboard look like a toy.
I'd be really interested in this keyboard(though I do prefer traditional workstation keyboards.) Perhaps Medeli could make their version of the Korg Krome EX??
Well, most are already singing it's praises however I will withhold my opinion until Jeremy actually gets one, tests and reviews it. It may or may not do so well then. I also play accordion and am familiar with some Chinese ones. Lots of glitter however when you get under the hood, they sometimes don't glider as much. At this point. there are to many answered questions. Yamaha needs to upgrade the E series and fill in the gap between then E473 and the SX700 perhaps by fixing the aging S670.
Hi Jeremy, thanks for the great review. I am playing with the idea of getting an Arranger Keyboard and watched many of your videos on Arrangers. It is very helpful to get your unbiased opinion and I appreciate you always also pointing out the things you do not like about a specific device. No machine is perfect and there are always compromises to be made. I have a question: You present the AKX10 as a competitor to the SX900. But isn’t it a much more a competitor to the SX700? The price gap to the SX900 is huge, but the SX700 is not too far away. Speaking of the SX700: Would you recommend to pay the extra money (720€ vs 1160€ in Germany) to get the SX700 instead of the AKX10? I would be willing to pay that if the sounds and styles and maybe the quality of the keyed are significantly better. One thing that draws me towards the Yamaha is the access to many additional styles (free and commercial). I really like the AKX10 panel though. The three real time knobs with switchable assignments remind me of many workstations (Korg Nautilus, Krome, Kross,…) and are pretty useful I guess. Keep up the great work.
Very nice look, but what about the quality of the keybed ? And the sounds ? And the speakers ? I have the impression that Medeli have put a PSR-E463 in a PSR-SX body... So I'm not sure it's better than a PSR-S670...
But what about its material quality? Such questions should also be raised for other famous brands! Because I have seen many of my friends who purchased costly famed brands spending their hard earned money and at a later stage came to a hault facing issues from keybed, joystick, soft buttons & so on !!! For myself even, I had to shove- off a Yamaha psr 295 which started showing issues with its unresponsive keys! It is us who bow down to these famous brands & never doubt their internal qualities but face problems short time after purchase!!!
If Medeli can provide more support, fix some minor software issues on the AKX10, provide "pro voices" pack, "style" pack, Medeli can compete hand on hand with Yamaha. Of course, as long as the price is low as it is now.
Medeli making a Yamaha clone is not a new thing. They have been doing that stuff since the PSR-S950 era (2012-13). Go check out Medeli A1000 and A800. As usual, they "stole" some of Yamaha's sounds, with obviously lower quality samples. Medeli also made some digital pianos containing Yamaha clone samples
Ciao Jeremy complimenti per il video , chiedo la keyboard visualizza anche midi karaoke e mp3 karaoke ? non trovo nessun riscontro in altri video thank by by
Exactly same sounds and Styles from Yamaha. At 9:15 you can listen to the StudioKit drum set and the Sweet Soprano sax both from Tyros2. At 10:25 same British Pop Style with the Standard Kit drum set. At 11:28 the DanceKit drum set. All sounds come from Tyros1 / 2.
@@logicnext9230 For your knowledge, they also design stuff. They have universities with new engineers coming out as pop corn. The government promotes invention and creativity on young people so, they don't need to copy. Sure they did copy a lot but things are changing. That is why usa is worried of competition. Just look for ASM Hydrasynth and JDI to name a couple.
I listened to the demos and I think it's just priced right for how it sounds. It sounds likes a toy to me. It's centuries away from the real deal, the Yamaha PSR-SX900.
Thanks J.. Nice to see competition... Good luck to them...look at the car market and how well Eastern Europe and China have done!! Could do with a copy of a korg with the EK's OS. Another year or two it will all be on apps. and we will only need a controller board and tablet, so they are just sweeping up the last possible sales opportunities ... Keith
Hi Jeremy, can AKX10 play MP3 files? so if I download a MP3 file on to the keyboard, will I be able to play it? and how does the Bluetooth work in this?
Здравстауйте аппарат обалдеть по функционалу хватит ли его для оранжировк? Молодцы отожгли так отожгли... И даже если есть какие то недостатки это программные ньюансы респект Мedeli ... Я думаю через некоторое время они будут в первыми на мировом рынке.
Looks good but... I will want too put a sticker over the name and pretend it is something else..., but... If it means lower prices on keyboards and a bit if competition, yes...bring it on. Due to exchange rate in my country keyboards like yamaha, roland, korg are extremely expensive... But i would still rather save and have the real thing and not a clone. Would love to see the full review.
Hi Jeremy, great review. In your opinion, Medeli, could you release an update to visualize the lyrics and chords of the midi files or is it technically impossible on this keyboard?
Medeli Styles Compared With Different Names With Yamaha's Original 9:15= Cool8Beat (Came On The S710 As the First Style) 9:46= ContempRock (Arrrghh My Favorite Style) 10:21= BritPopRock (Full E4 Series First Style) 10:47=Sernetejo (E263,E363,E463, I Don't Know Yamaha Will Add Different Names) 11:48= FoxRot (Very Rotten Classic Style lmao) 12:12= Cool8Beat (E Series and The PSR Portatone Original Arranger Workstations) 12:42= Tango (A Variation) 12:59=Hardrock (E And PSR Portatone Original Arranger Workstations Series) Clone Of YAMAHA That Keyboard Looks Wierd Though, Way Lesser Detail Then SX900/SX700. OOF
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 !!!
I only saw your video today. I have bought Medeli A1000 (which I found 5 years ago on a local music store, and it impressed me so much that time). The Medeli A1000 had one of those styles that were mentioned. I think this model (Medeli AKX10 is an upgrade of Medeli A1000, on top of what they had features, but this new one impressed me so much. I have been wondering is there any way to make custom sound samples or instruments on Medeli A1000 and I had been searching around the Internet, but found nothing. I would be very interested to get the Medeli AKX10 once I have saved enough money for it. Very impressive keyboard and workstation. Thank you for the video, Jeremy!
What is really missing. No lyrics e.g. when you play with midifiles or as a *.txt file to a style. Also Sync Start seems not to be possible to save in a performance. Sorry, these things needs to be fixed. Also a 76 key version would be great for more professional use.
So, how this compares to Yamaha PSX600. If Medeli had some learning modes and lyrics display mode like Yamaha, it would be just great. How is the quality of the sounds? Number of them doesn't really matter.
We are now 1 or 2 years later, I was able to play on the Medeli AKX10, but there are no other styles for sale or extra sounds...and that makes Yamaha, among others, so attractive, I don't see anything on their European website either , no updates and extra packs... finally I can report that Yamaha styles (with the .sty extension) don't work on the AKX10, it just doesn't read them. Have you tested all that? Jeremy??
Hello sir jeremy, i am one of your fans here in youtube. I baught medeli aw830 aspire 76keys organ online. But unfortunately, there was no manual inluded in the package sent to me by the seller. I am a visually impaired person from the philippines. I would like to ask big favor to you sir. Can you please make a complete tutorial on how to use this medeli keyboard? The sound of this organ is very much beautiful than the other competitors with the same amount of price. But I'm not familiar the many functions of the organ. I hope that this favor will be granted by a yours, Sir.. thank you very much and more power to your channel.
We seems to have another Behringer lol. I just need a stop-gap keyboard until I can afford another analogue. I'm just currently stuck with a bunch of monos. Out of the cheaper medeli keyboards like the M17, MK100, or others please Jeremy, do you know if they're reasonable I've only heard UA-cam video so far? Really mostly after some half-decent piano sounds. And maybe some strings. They cloned Kurzweil and now Yamaha
Two of the things that I like about the PSR-900SX are the way you can record sections of a song and then rearrange them, and the chord looper. Both seem to be absent on this?
Since you already have the PSR-S970, my gut feeling is to go for PSR-SX. Going for PA, it's learning everything all over again. But if you're willing, it's fine as well.
sincerely you think that for a first arranger keyboard it is good to take this one ?? I will not be disappointed with the piano sounds? or guitar or sax?
The layout is better than on Yamaha PSR, especially those plus and minus for tempo, and octave and transpose. I need to test this myself, I believe it will have some options Yamaha does not have in 2021. As for internal sounds, it does not sound good but who cares about those as any serious player will use professionally sampled sounds and drum kits. Style names? Well, Classic Rock, British Rock Pop, those are not Yamaha's invention, right? :) Compared to Korg with its horrendous sound reproduction, it is a no brainer.
Why should they be sued? Looks like Medeli might be making several other keyboard models for Yamaha, Roland, Casio, and Kurzweil. For instance, Kurzweil puts their company logo and KP300X designation on Medeli AW830, Kurzweil puts their logo and Designation KA79 on Medeli SP4200, Roland puts X-E20 designation on Medeli M361. You want me to continue on other Casio and Yamaha products, and digital grands? Sure, Kurzweil puts their piano sample in the KP300X, so it might be slightly different than the Medeli AW830, but I doubt there are any major hardware differences, if any at all. I suggest you westerners start learning Mandarin now, and plan for $5,000 a yearly salary, because the reality might struck sooner than you expect.
Хорошо бы его опробовать руками тогда бы можно было бы сделать вывод. А пока не попробуешь судить можно только по обзорам. Я думаю если в проф руках он очень хороший
Thanks for quick sharing As we know now a days almost every tech side these types of revelutionary updates happening butt it's hard to get good stuff nd for a long time Anyway this have to be happened to taste the stuffs that unaffordable to ordinary people
Looks nice, just hope they didnt do the same mistake, as they did on an earlier keyboard model and took (cloned) yamaha sounds right off, and put in their keyboard, they got sued by yamaha, Levi
Hi Jeremy, Definitely looks like an SX but sounds more like an E series. 10:45 Are those birds are singing or something along with the acoustic guitar? Sounds that something is trying to emulate a super articulation voice with no success. Lot's of features indeed but the sounds, well... Just listen to your playing with an s670 and then check again the voices of the AKX10 and what you are hearing. More than descent sounds though, I agree to that. I hope Mendeli will send you a model for a review.
I will have a more thorough listen and in-depth review when I get my hands on unit. It will definitely not be as good as a Yamaha SX, but for $800, I think it gives some serious competition.
Firm ware issues, issues with arrangers is bug fixes need to be done no matter the brand. Yamaha is the best of the bunch. You pay for what you get. Quality vs quantity.
Haha so hilarious. I like the way those Chinese people respond quickly to expensive new stuff and throw in more than everything, and deliver more or less a good value cheaper, if not so often reliably. Curious how this will turn out, and how they designed/implemented the internals.
It's not so hilarious if you are a competitor of the Chinese. They dump 'copy' products into the marketplace at a loss to try to gain a foothold. They specialize in unfair trade practices.
@@stratcat4461 Exactly. I guess their turn will come someday - they'll eventually struggle with next copycats to come - but in shorter terms that's a serious problem for their competitors.
This is exactly the same method the Japanese used in the 1950’s & 60’s. Copy everything. Their initial attempts produced lots of junk, just like the Chinese do now, however they gradually improved until other parts of the world, like Malaysia, others and now China started. They will eventually produce some quality products and another country will start it all over again.
Normally, I would think that yes, Yamaha should be worried. BUT, the AKX10 will NOT be available in the USA. It will be impossible/impractical to get one shipped here.
The sounds, as they came through, didn't seem to quite match the Yamaha quality, but that could be due to being sourced from another video rather than directly. I will certainly be interested in seeing and hearing a review from you although I'm not sure if Medeli units are available in Australia. A direct review from you would also allow assessment of build quality. One observation on other comments. While I'm sure Yamaha are making a comfortable profit, they are doing the original research and development of their products. If Medeli are somehow ripping off Yamaha, then that's a massive saving for them, so naturally they could market the product at a much lower price. In criticizing the prices of Yamaha (or Korg), people should take this very significant factor into account. (At the same time, in regions where incomes are low, the appealing price of the Medeli will outweigh any issues of the possibility the instrument is a rip-off.)
Yes! You're right Geromy! They used some Yamaha sounds! You say it's a Chinese keyboard? Yamaha definitly should be worried! Yamaha should make one that will outdo Medeli, and scare Medeli to death!
Isn’t Medeli contracted with Yamaha and others? Medeli boards commonly use older Yamaha sound tech. I don’t think Medeli is going to get sued either. Yamaha is one of their large contracts. There are several Medeli models that share case designs with older Yamaha models.
I want to know more about the sequencer. I'm an mpc guy, but I'm always checking out how well other sequencers work. Workstations are the only thing that ever come close, so if this can sequence external gear well, then yeah it probably has a ton of utility at it's price

looks like a psr-s but sounds more like a psr e343 (not bad tho cuz i generally use PSR-E keyboards) Imo they sound great!
Thanks J.. Nice to see competition... Good luck to them...look at the car market and how well Eastern Europe and China have done!!
Could do with a copy of a korg with the EK's OS.
Another year or two it will all be on apps. and we will only need a controller board and tablet, so they are just sweeping up the last possible sales opportunities ...

Thanks for sharing, Keith. You are right. Even the Steinway grand pianos comes packaged with an iPad preloaded with Steinway's apps.
If something sounds too good to be true. . .
Yeah I bought a Medeli and found out the hard way.
Hi Jeremy, can AKX10 play MP3 files? so if I download a MP3 file on to the keyboard, will I be able to play it? and how does the Bluetooth work in this?
Excelente, explicación. Me podría decir si este teclado tiene a función de LIRICS para visualizar las letras de las canciones.
I had a try out already with the medeli keyboard its quite good
Trying to get one time to come maybe i will
Здравстауйте аппарат обалдеть по функционалу хватит ли его для оранжировк? Молодцы отожгли так отожгли... И даже если есть какие то недостатки это программные ньюансы респект Мedeli ... Я думаю через некоторое время они будут в первыми на мировом рынке.
Looks good but... I will want too put a sticker over the name and pretend it is something else..., but... If it means lower prices on keyboards and a bit if competition, yes...bring it on. Due to exchange rate in my country keyboards like yamaha, roland, korg are extremely expensive... But i would still rather save and have the real thing and not a clone. Would love to see the full review.
Thanks for this Great Video. What Kind of Software and Mikrophone did you use?
Hi Jeremy, great review. In your opinion, Medeli, could you release an update to visualize the lyrics and chords of the midi files or is it technically impossible on this keyboard?
Maybe it’s the UA-cam compression but this doesn’t sound as good as the yamahas to me
When I get the Namm Im going to Both YAMAHA & MEDELI and ask them About each other I know all the PSR & Genos Programers Personaly
Medeli Styles Compared With Different Names With Yamaha's Original
9:15= Cool8Beat (Came On The S710 As the First Style)
9:46= ContempRock (Arrrghh My Favorite Style)
10:21= BritPopRock (Full E4 Series First Style)
10:47=Sernetejo (E263,E363,E463, I Don't Know Yamaha Will Add Different Names)
11:48= FoxRot (Very Rotten Classic Style lmao)
12:12= Cool8Beat (E Series and The PSR Portatone Original Arranger Workstations)
12:42= Tango (A Variation)
12:59=Hardrock (E And PSR Portatone Original Arranger Workstations Series)
Clone Of YAMAHA
That Keyboard Looks Wierd Though, Way Lesser Detail Then SX900/SX700. OOF
For home user, what u consider, yamaha sx600 or medeli akx10
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 !!!
I love the AKX10 sounds. I play a lot for church and funerals, etc. Could I hear some church music before I buy one.?
I only saw your video today. I have bought Medeli A1000 (which I found 5 years ago on a local music store, and it impressed me so much that time). The Medeli A1000 had one of those styles that were mentioned. I think this model (Medeli AKX10 is an upgrade of Medeli A1000, on top of what they had features, but this new one impressed me so much. I have been wondering is there any way to make custom sound samples or instruments on Medeli A1000 and I had been searching around the Internet, but found nothing. I would be very interested to get the Medeli AKX10 once I have saved enough money for it. Very impressive keyboard and workstation. Thank you for the video, Jeremy!
Akx10 is the global name. Its Chinese name is A2000. It's in the same series as your old one.
What is really missing. No lyrics e.g. when you play with midifiles or as a *.txt file to a style. Also Sync Start seems not to be possible to save in a performance.
Sorry, these things needs to be fixed.
Also a 76 key version would be great for more professional use.
Hi Jeremy, sorry for the hard question, better medeli or roland bk9 even if "old?
Thank you for your opinion.
Arrigo
So, how this compares to Yamaha PSX600. If Medeli had some learning modes and lyrics display mode like Yamaha, it would be just great.
How is the quality of the sounds? Number of them doesn't really matter.
We are now 1 or 2 years later, I was able to play on the Medeli AKX10, but there are no other styles for sale or extra sounds...and that makes Yamaha, among others, so attractive, I don't see anything on their European website either , no updates and extra packs... finally I can report that Yamaha styles (with the .sty extension) don't work on the AKX10, it just doesn't read them. Have you tested all that? Jeremy??
Hello sir jeremy, i am one of your fans here in youtube. I baught medeli aw830 aspire 76keys organ online. But unfortunately, there was no manual inluded in the package sent to me by the seller. I am a visually impaired person from the philippines. I would like to ask big favor to you sir. Can you please make a complete tutorial on how to use this medeli keyboard? The sound of this organ is very much beautiful than the other competitors with the same amount of price. But I'm not familiar the many functions of the organ. I hope that this favor will be granted by a yours, Sir.. thank you very much and more power to your channel.
We seems to have another Behringer lol. I just need a stop-gap keyboard until I can afford another analogue. I'm just currently stuck with a bunch of monos. Out of the cheaper medeli keyboards like the M17, MK100, or others please Jeremy, do you know if they're reasonable I've only heard UA-cam video so far? Really mostly after some half-decent piano sounds. And maybe some strings. They cloned Kurzweil and now Yamaha
What do you think about Medeli's electric pianos ? Like sp 4200 and sp 201 .They are good?
I didnt get any comments on the vide on what styles this uses. Are they .stl like Roland or .sty like yamaha and will further styles be available .
Would be interesting if it can play Yamaha Styles? I have a huge collection of them. And how about voacal harmony/vocalizer?
Sir pls help me to buy medeli akx10... Theres no available here in our place
I swear the styles sound extremely similar, if not, identical to some styles I've heard in my Yamaha keyboard.
Its sounds as Yamaha Tyros 1
Two of the things that I like about the PSR-900SX are the way you can record sections of a song and then rearrange them, and the chord looper. Both seem to be absent on this?
Yes, at $800 quite a few things will be missing.
Sir i have yamaha psr s970...
And i want to upgrade...
What should i buy yamaha psr sx900 or korg pa1000....
I am confused....
Plz help....
Since you already have the PSR-S970, my gut feeling is to go for PSR-SX. Going for PA, it's learning everything all over again. But if you're willing, it's fine as well.
Better to go with psr sx900
sincerely you think that for a first arranger keyboard it is good to take this one ?? I will not be disappointed with the piano sounds? or guitar or sax?
The layout is better than on Yamaha PSR, especially those plus and minus for tempo, and octave and transpose. I need to test this myself, I believe it will have some options Yamaha does not have in 2021.
As for internal sounds, it does not sound good but who cares about those as any serious player will use professionally sampled sounds and drum kits. Style names? Well, Classic Rock, British Rock Pop, those are not Yamaha's invention, right? :)
Compared to Korg with its horrendous sound reproduction, it is a no brainer.
Medeli gear is also sold by Thomann under their own brand.
Why should they be sued? Looks like Medeli might be making several other keyboard models for Yamaha, Roland, Casio, and Kurzweil. For instance, Kurzweil puts their company logo and KP300X designation on Medeli AW830, Kurzweil puts their logo and Designation KA79 on Medeli SP4200, Roland puts X-E20 designation on Medeli M361. You want me to continue on other Casio and Yamaha products, and digital grands? Sure, Kurzweil puts their piano sample in the KP300X, so it might be slightly different than the Medeli AW830, but I doubt there are any major hardware differences, if any at all. I suggest you westerners start learning Mandarin now, and plan for $5,000 a yearly salary, because the reality might struck sooner than you expect.
Хорошо бы его опробовать руками тогда бы можно было бы сделать вывод. А пока не попробуешь судить можно только по обзорам. Я думаю если в проф руках он очень хороший
Can up make a comparison video for medeli a300 and Yamaha PSR E363
Its medeli AKX 20 best arranger. Where can get
Hi Jeremy! Can the AKX10 play .kar files and display the lyrics on its screen (just like the Korg PA series)? Thanks!
Thanks for quick sharing
As we know now a days almost every tech side these types of revelutionary updates happening
butt it's hard to get good stuff nd for a long time
Anyway this have to be happened to taste the stuffs that unaffordable to ordinary people
Mr. See. I am intermediate at my church. What do you recommend for a basics piano and an EP sounds for my church.
Im interested, but where to buy here in davao city philippines?
Looks nice, just hope they didnt do the same mistake, as they did on an earlier keyboard model and took (cloned) yamaha sounds right off, and put in their keyboard, they got sued by yamaha, Levi
Should I buy sx900 or this
??
Hello,
Please can you advise on MEDELI M17 vs CASIO CT X700?
Thanks.
Ciao Jeremy can you consider to review Medeli Sp4200 I think this is a interesting keyboard and a super price of 399€. Thank you
Hi Jeremy,
Definitely looks like an SX but sounds more like an E series.
10:45 Are those birds are singing or something along with the acoustic guitar?
Sounds that something is trying to emulate a super articulation voice with no success.
Lot's of features indeed but the sounds, well...
Just listen to your playing with an s670 and then check again the voices of the AKX10 and what you are hearing.
More than descent sounds though, I agree to that.
I hope Mendeli will send you a model for a review.
I will have a more thorough listen and in-depth review when I get my hands on unit. It will definitely not be as good as a Yamaha SX, but for $800, I think it gives some serious competition.
Hola! entre un Yamaha PSR 373 y un Medeli M221K ¿Cuál me recomendarías?
Can you show us all electronic pianos presets of the aswell pls? am very curious
I hope Medeli would make a comeback to Indonesian market
Hi master I want to buy medeli M331 what do you think about this model? For beginner
Firm ware issues, issues with arrangers is bug fixes need to be done no matter the brand. Yamaha is the best of the bunch. You pay for what you get. Quality vs quantity.
Haha so hilarious. I like the way those Chinese people respond quickly to expensive new stuff and throw in more than everything, and deliver more or less a good value cheaper, if not so often reliably. Curious how this will turn out, and how they designed/implemented the internals.
It's not so hilarious if you are a competitor of the Chinese. They dump 'copy' products into the marketplace at a loss to try to gain a foothold. They specialize in unfair trade practices.
@@stratcat4461 Exactly. I guess their turn will come someday - they'll eventually struggle with next copycats to come - but in shorter terms that's a serious problem for their competitors.
This is exactly the same method the Japanese used in the 1950’s & 60’s. Copy everything. Their initial attempts produced lots of junk, just like the Chinese do now, however they gradually improved until other parts of the world, like Malaysia, others and now China started. They will eventually produce some quality products and another country will start it all over again.
So we have only 3 types of vocal harmony and on sx 900 they are many rigth?
Normally, I would think that yes, Yamaha should be worried. BUT, the AKX10 will NOT be available in the USA. It will be impossible/impractical to get one shipped here.
It WILL be available globally.
The sounds, as they came through, didn't seem to quite match the Yamaha quality, but that could be due to being sourced from another video rather than directly. I will certainly be interested in seeing and hearing a review from you although I'm not sure if Medeli units are available in Australia. A direct review from you would also allow assessment of build quality. One observation on other comments. While I'm sure Yamaha are making a comfortable profit, they are doing the original research and development of their products. If Medeli are somehow ripping off Yamaha, then that's a massive saving for them, so naturally they could market the product at a much lower price. In criticizing the prices of Yamaha (or Korg), people should take this very significant factor into account. (At the same time, in regions where incomes are low, the appealing price of the Medeli will outweigh any issues of the possibility the instrument is a rip-off.)
Clone of the design, interface and many features. Samples are definitely lower quality.
Very good instructions 👌👍👏
Hey jermy,
Can we use the styles of yamaha sx serees on medeli akx10?
Im in India... Where should i buy this
Can you info the shop who sell this item ini Singapore please ?
How to get this keyboard? Halo I m from Malaysia
What is the Indian cost of this Keybord
please tell me where it for sell the keyboard medeli akx10
Yes! You're right Geromy! They used some Yamaha sounds! You say it's a Chinese keyboard? Yamaha definitly should be worried! Yamaha should make one that will outdo Medeli, and scare Medeli to death!
Isn’t Medeli contracted with Yamaha and others? Medeli boards commonly use older Yamaha sound tech. I don’t think Medeli is going to get sued either. Yamaha is one of their large contracts. There are several Medeli models that share case designs with older Yamaha models.
Clone of the design, interface and many features. Samples are definitely lower quality.
I want to know more about the sequencer. I'm an mpc guy, but I'm always checking out how well other sequencers work. Workstations are the only thing that ever come close, so if this can sequence external gear well, then yeah it probably has a ton of utility at it's price
Nice.i like this brand.same as yamaha
is similar to kurzweil?
hi i am one of your subscriber can you help me how to avail korg microARRANGER ,my keyboard stole someone so i need keyboard brother cheapest one i think Korg MicroARRANGER is enough for i cannot find here in the Philippines need it badly thanks
