@@jackduxbury1632 she has no idea what she's missing. The whole TH-cam community is rooting for you! I love your videos so much I bought a synth from Andertons and I'm not even a keyboard player.
Make it touch-sensitive and 73-76 key and you've got a nice travel practice controller. If you are working out at the far edges of 88, you aren't going to be using this thing anyway.
It's a space between this Carry On thing and the old folding VAX77 that could really use a product: www.synthtopia.com/content/2015/01/20/the-finest-midi-controller-ever-is-about-to-get-affordable/
yeh touch sensitivity a must have a pitch when or ribon would make it, I am fine with 61 keys/ Really like the Roland go keys, lots of fun, sound is great for what it is, portable
I RECENTLY BOUGHT A KAWAI CA79 PIANO. ITS NICE AND I PLAY IT BUT ID LIKE A VERY LIGHT WEIGHT KEYBOARD I CAN PLACE ON MY LAP WHEN IM IN MY RECLINER CHAIR WHERE I SLEEP. ID USE THIS LIGHT WEIGHT KEYBOARD AS A SPARE AND IF I WAS TO GO AWAY ON HOLIDAYS OCCASIONALLY.
Looks like you need a big table for it to work. Apart from that it looks a really fun product. I think you should have demo’d the midi over USB capability. Not sure if you even mentioned it.
Weighted keys would make it bigger and heavier. Im pretty sure this thing was designed to be cheap, portable, and good for laying out ideas, not to be used as your main instrument.
That's pretty impressive! I think I might have gone for some small Yamaha like the PSS-A50 because I think velocity is kind of important, but you could also definitely argue that having the full 88 keys is important too. Can't have everything, especially at this price range.
I note that Jack is hitting more bum notes than usual. Does that say something about the key action or has he just come back from the pub ? 😜 Good on Blackstar for having a stab at diversification though. They were already quite innovative.
If it was touch sensitive it would be a great rehearsal tool. When we use rehearsal studios, we take our guitar (bass) and pedals ... Drums and amps are usually provided.... But our keyboard guy has to hump his big heavy flightcased keyboard. I think with touch sensitivity and better sounds there's a niche for this..!!
@@robertmichalscheck3072 I'll take my 37 key iRig Pro over this any day. 37 properly sized, velocity sensitive keys let me at least practice one of my 2 hands properly and it has a pedal. This thing would screw me up and it sounds awful.
Got 1 of these for travelling that can fit into the hand carry and don't need to check an extra keyboard case on a plane. Even if you live in a small space, there are portable keyboards like the Casio Privia PX-S1000 & Roland FP-10 that are much closer to the sound and touch of a real piano with weighted keys. A good keyboard I came across while travelling in Asia goes by the name BSK (short for Busking Anywhere). The company has a portable splicing version (splits into 2 halves) DK09-Duo for travelling and the longer version BSK BP88. The bigger version is in 1 piece but still very light and portable and can fit into a small space (128cm x 17.6cm x 6cm). The keys of the BSK BP88 are much closer to a real piano than the splicing version with keys not much better than the Carry-on Folding Piano 88.
Yall people salty over the fact that its not touch sensitive, bro I'd still be happy getting this. Practicing fingering and hitting the right keys are a priority atm, dynamics and other things will be 2nd when it comes to beginner practice
I could see myself using this in a rehearsal room before a gig. How many times have you set up, done the sound check and left the stage, only to really want to go over something again before the gig? And then envied the guitarist who gets out his acoustic to do the same for his parts?!
@@aaronwalderslade I can give you a list of small keyboards better than this. all less than $300. No idea what this will cost but no. I have an iRig keys pro for travel.
Even if you're a teenager in a small room you can buy eg a Yamaha PSR-12 - beginners don't need 88 keys. At a pinch you could store it vertically when not in use. Still miles better than this thing.
@@darkshadow7709 The lack of velocity is practically unusable, I have no problem with the low quality sample because it can be solved with VSTs, but unable to play with dynamics it's a nightmare for musicians. Not great for beginners either. Only thing we appreciate is the portability, and the future it brings.
@@darkshadow7709 Well, it's a bit cringe worthy for musicians, because of the cliche theme of how it portrays musicians, but it's done well enough to be enjoyable, and the characters are likable. Many variety music in it too, they even featured Thundercat in it.
Perfect for practice! Just like you said young student, no house space, cheap piano. Will totally be buying this. Got a legit piano but all it's doing is sitting in my closet cause I got no space for it. Will be buying this now, can't wait for version 2.0 it will be even better than ever!
For 90 quid it actually is worth the price and usability in such a small package. No one else has really done it like this tbh. Perfect kids first keyboard in an apartment. Something like General Midi keyboard on the go but with actual access to 88 keys in a tiny room.
I wish that it could be connected by a magnet or some kind of sturdy connector , and there's an option if you just want to use a 25 or 61 keys...the piano sound is good though. i'm excited for the future development of this product.
yeah saw this in UK, including shipping about £30 and takes around 1 month to arrive! its the same price, but its a chinese language product on ali. not sure if any service/warranty support at all either.......safer from Andertons I reckon.
I could see this being the star of a retro-series Soundtrack. Honestly. That outro would have fit perfectly in Stranger Things. Speaking of which - the strings in this thing were amazing. No joke. Everything else... yeah...
Guys, word to the wise: get rid of that horrific table covering. Use a plain covering, ideally black, it will make everything look better. Videos are great though.
Oh God. Where to begin? Make it with 61 keys, add a USB-C connection, Bluetooth so you could send it out to a decent speaker, add a MIDI-In, touch sensitivity, add STANDARD cable jacks, and finally, dump those shit sounds and make it a MIDI controller, THEN, it might actually be a decent little keyboard. If they did even SOME of those things, it might be more palatable. As it is, it shouldn't be sold in any retail music shop. No disrespect is intended toward Anderton's (it's obvious that the guy doing the presentation is REALLY trying hard to come up with "positives" but it's just not there). Guys, this shouldn't be sold anywhere other than a back-alley import/export shop with a retail price of no more than about 50 USD. The fact that this "instrument" has been sold and resold under different brand names (and no, Blackstar did not make this instrument; a quick look on the back will say it's made "in partnership" with Blackstar) should tell you all you need to know about the quality of this ...thing. Don't get pulled in to this whole "folding" gimmick. Go buy a decent Casio or Yamaha keyboard. If you buy this thing, you may as well throw your money in the fireplace.
I didn't expect it to sound like anything, really. A product like this should have a "pro" counterpart that emphasizes MIDI and of course velocity to compensate for its short comings. I'll wait.
Add velocity sensitivity and I'll buy one. If they can figure out some sort of sliding rod mechanism to make it rigid enough to use on a stand, I'll buy one for all my friends.
Saw this one in a store today, only thing which kept me from buying it was the lack of touch sensitivity. It was at a price of just $100. As a midi controller on the go it would have been nice.
Add velocity, a pitch wheel or ribbon, midi out, and make the sounds at least as good as a Yamaha psr. Sell for $99. I'd possibly get one to keep in the car trunk.
I travel a lot & it's so frustrating not having a keyboard, even taking a micro Korg , it won't fit into a carry on bag . This is really useful . presume it's light . 128 sounds , I guess are same as most other keyboards that they put in toys these days are use same sounds as pro jobs. Thanks for this.
@@AmigoInstructor21 I can think of so many products that are better for a beginner. And all are velocity sensitive which makes them useful past month 2.

You say that, and then Jordan Rudess drops a video jamming on one in Aruba or some shit.
The only one as charming as Jack is the Captain. But it's a close race.
Not velocity sensitive = Not a pianoforte, Mate. Will wait for v 2.0.
I want one for no specific reason.
Same with me.. and for $100 US dollars not bad at all.

Any 80s synth sounds ,?
Never had a 88 key synth.
Big up George Road! I just saw my old house...wasn’t expecting that when I clicked on the vid! 😁 Thanks for the memories, Jack!
This is PERFECT for a Navy sailor who is looking to practice while underway. I am buying one!

My ol’ lady has a forearm’s worth of box if ya know what I mean!
Just admit it sounds terrible and no one would buy it except for a stocking stuffer for a 5 year old. Lol
Maybe the company could sacrifice the some of the keys for a place to put the touch sensitive stuff and make it 61-key?
Nah,real piano players prefer larger pianos.

What in the meaningless miniaturisation pseudo futuristic consuming fetish is that?
I travel the world with an Xkey 37 in my suitcase. If they can make a 61 key set up with the functionality of the Xkey, I'd be ecstatic!
When the drums part sounds like a part of the intro to Eastenders. And that bag action!
Not sure who needs 88 keys, but doesn't need dynamics.
No velocity sensitivity? then poly after touch will do as a substitute
What a great video! Can't believe I've only just come across this channel now. Subscribed and looking forward to future content 😎
