This is the top set on my 2 tier rack and use it for all the signature sounds Synth, Strings, Clav, Harpsicord. I barely scratch the surface of it's capabilities but there are a few live performance things I really like. The ability to add 2 levels of additional gain on the fly as well as the assignable knobs that let you adjust the speed of the whirling speaker effect gives you awesome Leslie organ sounds.
Hey little buddy I tried the 425 2 years ago and I could of told you that it’s the best for that price range. The styles the touch the sounds the price the weight for gigging the worries about dropping it the everything about it the better choice the if they painted it red they would put that red company out of business. What minimal payments it’s almost free!
I'm thinking about purchasing the 425 to upgrade my trusty... but old...PSR-32, which I rehearse on. The 425 seems like it would be a fine choice. The one thing that has me a bit concerned is seeing reviews where some owners report having issues with the display. 😐
Largely yes. There were a few reports of display issues with the 425, but the 473 fell victim to it. Yamaha eventually resolved the issue and is extending free repairs to 473s even if the warranties are expired. 🙂
Hi) want to buy a synthesizer. and choose between Casio WK-7600 and Yamaha PSR-EW425. Tell me plz as an experienced user who has played both these synthesizers how much the 7600 is behind 425 in sound quality? The volume is not a big problem for me. but here’s the sensitivity of the sound, which is the noise of the sips matters more to me. Casio is much cheaper with 9 handles of the regulator of the timbre, I like it very much. but if the yamaha has a lot more quality and modern sound, then maybe I should overpay ?
@@ЮрийНасиротовский-з2х hi my friend honestly, I think it’s the opposite the Casio WK-7600 there’s a lot lot better quality Inn sounds, and features than the Yamaha PSR-EW425 even the speaker power on the Casio is much better that I was thinking about returning to Yamaha Yamaha does have a Lotta good sounds but when it comes face-to-face with the Casio WK-7600 you have entered the workstation stage with the Casio
My Yamah PSR=EW425 has a problem with most of the piano sounds. Any key above the top Bd only clacks without any note sounding. In voice 001 , the light piano; the sound is OK. Do you find this on your keyboard?
You own many keyboards, and some are too nice to touch? The solution is to acquire keyboards that are not so nice? I can help you out. Hopefully you still have the original packaging of the Genos.
@@KMNKeyboardVault I got a PSS-270 on EBAY the other day and it was damaged in shipping, so I got a PSR-6 instead. The only difference is the Portamento/Synth effect.
@@taylorshareen2690 if you’re beginning Piano, I suggest you get a 88 weighted key. This keyboard is good for arranging. It has a lot more sounds. This is good for portability, but the action is a little flimsy.
@KMNKeyboardVault how about Midi from Arturia Mk3 essential 88 keys , it has semi-weight key action. have you had any experience with Semi weight key action ? it is good for long use like 5 to 10 year usage. Does midi Keybed can be fixed when it has problem compare to digital key action( weight ). I mean many music shop will help use repair if the key action of digital piano has problem. how about Midi controller ?will some music offer to fix or repare it ?
@KMNKeyboardVault I agree with you but right now I only see an option is Arturia mk3 essential 88 keys ( semi weight ) which said to use with PC or Daw to activate but we can both learn piano or make music.
I have a Casio CT-X5000, which is Casio's highest end portable. It's quite good sound-wise, but it's arranger features can be confusing and requires re-reading the manual a lot. The arranger features being the 17 track recording and phrase pads. Also confusing are using DSP effects, registration banks, mixer, part selection, part volume, and creating auto-accompaniments. Some of those I still don't understand how to work properly even after reading the manual multiple times. On the plus side basic features are easy to use (selecting tones, selecting and playing rhythms and songs, playing auto-accompaniment, layering, splitting, octave shift, metronome.) Some of the keys developed a rattle by month 4, which is annoying. I don't care to send it away for a month for "repairs" (i.e. lubing the keys) and have to pay for shipping (which costs a fortune for such a heavy keyboard.) I plan to just open it up to add lube. I preferred the waterfall key shape over Yamaha's synth key shape. While the X5000 is overall good, I still wonder if I should have gone with the Yamaha PSR-EW425. The Casio doesn't have the variety of human voices the Yamaha has and can't output WAV audio format over USB. I bought the Casio for the arranger features (17 track support + 4 phrase pads) and the additional expression pedal jack. Some issues with the tracks and phrase pads (other than the confusing UI) is the tracks won't loop without a noticeable pause and phrase pads require flawless timing to avoid hiccups. The built-in quantize filter always sounds like crap if you use it, so it's effectively useless. Putting down a drum beat requires recording all the measures at once because recording a few measures and duplicating them with copy and paste usually produces a hiccup between cuts. Also the expression pedal can only modulate volume. I was hoping it could do more. On the plus side, the expression jack can double as a 2nd assignable pedal if you plug in SP-3 or SP-20 pedals (assignable to sostenuto pedal, soft pedal, or foot controller). Also, given phrase pad recording is confusing, having to redo them over and over is a big pain point. A cheaper keyboard with an external looper might have worked better, IMO. Maybe using a software DAW would have been simpler, but that's harder to operate from bed which is my preferred spot. I plan to get into modifying the built-in tones with the effects filters. There is a long list of them to try, but it is an intimidating UI. Combining modified tones with layers and splits would expand the play options quite a bit.
@@potato9832i’m using a casio ctx3000 and i agree with what you said, and my review is that after a year of heavy gigging with that keyboard, i can say its really fragile.. my volume knob stopped working months ago and today my middle C# key stopped working…so i’m about to get a yamaha soon
The sounds are so beautifully balanced with each other. I think you made a good choice for a baby Genos! 😊

Is the keybed better than the ew410? Thank you
Yes
@@sahilsiddiqui5937 thank you, my 410 is noisy and not much resistance... so the 425 has more stiffness??
@@josephkeck4752 no build quality is almost same,but in feature its more ahead. In ew425 yo get music effect ,mega boost,10 premium organ sound .
