As an electronic engineer USB noise is such a temple rubbing sigh! We used to design the digital portions of the electronics to be distinct from the analog boards. Future engineers, please, please, please isolate the dac & op-amps from the cpu. USB noise kills the music!
Hello from Germany:) I've bought this wonderful drum machine and I love it! I want to do a record like you in the video but it don't work. On the display appears "No USB device". It would be nice if you can help me please....thank you!
You have to put an USB stick in the back, and check if your usb is among the ones supported. There is a list here: usa.yamaha.com/files/download/other_assets/3/2161023/DE_en_FGDP-50.pdf
Great machine. A small wish list: more Registers (only 4 ! - not 4 per bank as documented in guide). Created 44 custom user kits already but such a pain to program - maybe include an app for programming. Battery life not that great, need higher capacity. Fun side: realistic drum/perc voices. Overall well-built.
I still have no idea why they dont have kick and hat pedal inputs on this. I built my own system using a normal drum brain and its unreal how natural a finger drum kit can be, but ONLY if you have pedals. You need the pedals.
Idea: if you record the AUX IN and dont play any pad, then you load that audio and assign it to a trigger, this become a sampling machine. I'll try with mine
Is there a time- limit (or bar-length limit) on the RECORD function and is it quantizable? (* just above the YAMAHA logo upper left.) Its weird as GAZ is the only one who mentions the function and even the manual barely mentions it!? This is an important feature and I dont understand why this is the only vid so far that really covers it.
Hi Gaz, I know this is a bit off topic would you prefer the Behringer td-9 or Roland tr-8 ??? I am asking you bc that’s about what I can afford after I’m done saving and I hold your opinion in high regard. Thank you for your time…maybe.
Any device made in 2023 which uses a USB Micro-B power connector from 2007 is certainly flawed in more ways than just the power connector. I hate those little self-mangling connectors. And this thing is pretty expensive for what it is! Even the little $45 Behringer JT-4000 has a USB-C connector.
ExPro drummer here with no room to record live drums currently but how to record drum parts into a DAW ? seems you can't unless you use a USB stick. How do you create a quick basic drum part to go in you DAW? I wish it had a 'Quantize' function otherwise I may as wells use my controller finger drums and align each part myself(takes ages). Maybe I need another device? Cheers mate for any info.
@@WyattLite-n-inn 1) What is "ck figured"? 2) Why would anyone want to play finger drums with only one hand? 3) You being a "keyboard drummer" would know immediately that the layout isn't for keyboard drummers. So none of this is making any sense at all.
I just came across this unit two days ago. Hello, Sweetwater ?...... Mine is on its way.

The USB noise makes gear sound retro 2000s 🤓
Absolutely dreamy with nunchucks.
Subscribed! I love odd interfaces, this pad layout keeps catching my eye.
I would honestly buy this just as a design piece, because it is absolutely fantastic. Very Japanese 90's vibe. Could have been a VCR XD :D

According to the MiDI imp chart. Clock sent and received.

i was gonna get Alesis SR-16 butt after i learn about this one i lean more to Yamaha FGDP 50 it makes more sense.

The recorder is an audio recorder and as far as I know there is no time limit.
Does anyone know how to change the drum pad velocity? I want to use certain presets with no velocity curves. Any info would be helpful. TIA
I need to find a way to install one of these on my steering wheel

Can I connect this to an amplifier on stage?
Jajajaaa..jajajaaa...muy bien..Animo con alegrias..very good...

The computer will record the midi. You can then use the midi to either play the FGDP sounds or use sounds from within the DAW
Still no Cubase 13 pro review
USB-C is probably not used due to licensing costs so they choose the free USB Micro

I wish it had hardware midi io
Yes, I tried to hook it up to some gear with no luck. MIDI worked just with the MAC.

That default layout is all wrong for keyboard drummers.
Why?
@@WyattLite-n-inn left middle: kick, left index: snare
Are you a keyboard drummer?
@@ChrisP3000x At times . It’s confgured so that you can play beats w one hand .
@@WyattLite-n-inn 1) What is "ck figured"?
2) Why would anyone want to play finger drums with only one hand?
3) You being a "keyboard drummer" would know immediately that the layout isn't for keyboard drummers. So none of this is making any sense at all.
@@ChrisP3000x Yamaha explains it on some of the promo material. So that onstage you can have one hand free to play keyboard. Makes perfect sense .
