Again great video and it shows how you can utilise these sounds especially put through an effects processor like you have done and it certainly enhances the options. The PSS 570 as you say, and rightly so, it is similar but the subtle difference is, it uses PCM drum sound and there are a total of around 32 different drums. Like the 470, it also features the digital synthesiser but in addition, the digital synthesiser 570 can be utilised with the on board accompaniments. Again, they’re actually not too bad models and again, enhancing the sound capability through an affects processor and multitrack recording with these type of keyboards and others brings out the best within the capabilities and again, the sounds are not bad including the cosmic sound, organ sounds et cetera. I’ve owned many different models of keyboards over many years including these mentioned. I’ve recently salvaged the big brother PSS 680 which again is fantastic, I owned one of those years ago and regretted selling it but I’m going to hang onto this one which is in mint condition and I ended up only paying £30 though the previous owner was looking for £25, I gave her an extra five as she met me at her local train station and she bought batteries so again, I thought I’d give her a bit extra which is well appreciated and of course, the power supply is included.. The PSS 680 was the flagship portable small sized keys keyboards back in 1988 and there’s a smaller brother in that series called the PSS 480 which is like the 680, but there are a few drums missing, only 49 keys, no pitch bend wheel or stereo symphonic. Again, it features the same digital synthesiser facility as the 680. A year or so later, the PSS 780 was introduced and it looks exactly the same as the 680 with different accompaniments and some the same and the colour of the drum pads et cetera are different but apart from that, it is virtually the same as Yamaha used to do this back in the day, they would bring out models, a rehash of predecessor models. Yes extremely interesting and again, it goes to show, these small mean machines certainly sound so professional put through an effect processor and yes, a lot of these small models which some folk class has toys, have even been included on popular, music recordings.

Had one and loads of music on it. It got stolen from my home-along with my music. Great gear for the time. The AD converters were solid, too.

It goes to show, when you put these portable keyboard/synthesisers through effect processor, it’s amazing how enhanced the sounds become. Well done.

ipad is a computer moron

Very Niceto patterns!,😮😮🎉

Useless stuff. Neither for little kids.

maybe, maybe i would buy it at twice its $50 price if it had a MIDI-in jack for an external keyboard. otherwise, no thanks

Where can I get the stuffed toy on the side ❤🎁

I've had one of these for several months now and I can vouch that it makes some fantastic noises. It is a shame it has no midi in because the tiny keyboard is extremely difficult to use. And so is the tiny interface. I wish they could have made it Volca sized with a bigger keyboard and screen, then maybe I could live without midi in. But midi in would make it much more useful. Nonetheless, it is a lot of fun for $50.

Wow a complete rip off of bad gear even down to the way u talk about it 😂

So what was the distortion then?

Just read the bloody manual!

Tried to update using Synthtribe software (Win) But now Pro_VS is useless. Got 10% into update and froze up. Pro-VS now has --BOOTLOAD-- displayed on LCD at power on and will not start. Would really like to know how to boot this instrument up before it receives a fix with sledge hammer.

Greg was my music technology tutor for a while in 2006-2007. An absolute expert and genuinely top bloke, plus a brilliant teacher.

This is probably by the dumbest question I’ve ever asked…but can any tablet be used or does it have to be a iPad?

An iPad is a computer. Such horseshit.

RTFM

I have a PSR-36 which is a full-sized version with 32 voices including the ones in the PSS-470 and also uses the YM-3812 two-operator FM generator. It also has a rhythm and chord loop recorder and has 5-pin MIDI in/out ports. I connected a midi keyboard to test the operation and added a delay/reverb stereo pedal to the stereo audio output and it really has awesome bass and bell tones! I also have a new PSR-E473 and its 290 rhythms are way too song-specific to be used in general keyboard playing for the most part. This old 1988 FM synth with 16 rhythms has a more fun set of drum patterns and useful rhythms not to mention cheaper, simpler and all without any electronic display.

I have Ableton Live, which is great, but I have never got the tight MIDI timing that I used to get with my old Roland R8, which is still a great machine (it came out in 1989, but was very advanced, in fact it's sequencer is at least as good as anything made today). I made a couple of house-ish tracks in Ableton, it was okay but I couldn't get it sounding tight. I remade the track in my Korg Electribe 2 Sampler, yes! I've got that tight sounding rhythm like I used to get with my R-8! It's really a night and day difference! By the way, I've got s background in IT, so I've turned everything off in Windows such as the system sounds, and removed everything that isn't needed for music production- I made this PC myself with really good components for music production only. But even with all this power, the timing is off, very frustrating!

❤ thank you for your kindly advice yes, an iPad is a computer... BUT so is the JT-4000... or any other "virtual-analog" synthesizer.

Thank goodness for the brave souls who put up these videos...I'm chuffed with my VS, just as I was with my Modal Craft, but why oh why don't manufacturers make clear instructions for players to follow, and as someone else has said, legable (SIZE), so far I've spent more time finding out about how to use it than I have actual creating...but to be fair it packs a punch, and it will be part of a live setup...thanks for a concise overview...

Do all of them have that awful hiss and scratch? Ive got 3 different pss models and they all have varying degrees of poor output quality

Love it!

“Without using a computer” uses an iPad 😭😭😭

…Without the camera adapter and therefore without an interface to plug my cans into? The plot’s stupidity thickens… NECESSARY DISCLAIMER DUE TO NEARLY EVERYONE ON THE PLANET COMING DOWN WITH WOKE/I’M SUCH A VICTIM AND I LOVE TO BE BUTTHURT SYNDROME OVERNIGHT A FEW WEEKS AGO: I mean Behringer being “stupid”; I wasn’t calling you “stupid”. Even if I wanted to suddenly shed 110 IQ points in order to be a troll and call you “stupid”, this video lacks anything which would afford me any sort of foothold insofar as providing me with any substantial reason to do so.

Although I knew the traditional MIDI genitals most synths have was strangely and straitjacket-deservingly omitted from this…bless Behringer’s hearts…I bought it hoping to assuage my grief over my Roland JP-8000’s succumbing to AIDS recently. Yeah, no. I think I may shell out for that Korg app, so maybe I’ll “experience” this synth a little deeper, but I don’t think I’d better hold my breath waiting for Mr. Spock to happen, or anything.

Just lucked up on one left on the side of the road in box 😮🤷🏿‍♂️

Now do it without an ipad (which is a computer, somebody should have told you that ;))

Clickbait and false title

I notice a PO unit in the frame there, have you attempted to sync them??

Dang, I didn't even get a usb cord with mine. You must be a special kind of guy.

"I'm not going to look at the manual" ... "what does this do?" #Priceless!

DUDE! You’re killing me with your pronunciation of arpeggiator. Stop baiting, there’s no way you are demoing music gear and you don’t know how to pronounce that 😂

Please reveal, it has been months :)

I have the Behringer Pro VS mini. Am thinking that is the same one from the video.. i saw a video that said Pro VS Soul. Is that the same one? Am trying to update the firmware but the App only shows ver 1.1.1. How do I get version 1.1.5? Or at least 1.1.2 loaded?

Turn on the... say what , now ?

Welcome to Mad Gear, the show about the world's most craziest audio tools!

Arpaggiator

Just ordered one. Can’t wait to make pro music for release with it :)

Sounds a bit as the old Ensoniq SQ80

Behringer, please make a Rhodes/Wurlitzer model. I will buy one.

Aren't you a bit old to be biting your nails?

arPAJiator? 😅

I am looking for a dedicated latched Arpeggiator and could'nt find a cheap one.. Then I found your video... I have the JT-4000 and didnt know it could do this.. Thank you for this guide..

There is another variant called the 560 which is identical but with a different color scheme. Basically no gray bars behind the controls

where does the sound come from? jt-4000 itself?

I get lots of nice sounds out of my Source Audio Multiwave Distortion.

Who wants to buy an overpriced teenage engineering product?

Geil man 😎 danke 👍

DOPE! Loving it! Cheers from Suffolk!
