I find my WK 3200 to be very versatile.. for both live and studio applications. The only thing I would change is the stock snare sound - it doesn't fit with what I generally go for. There is probably a way to change this (possibly with an SD card external sound even).. but I don't have much patience for menus. I electronically modified mine by tying into it's internal amplifier.. I now have 1/4" inputs and outputs on the back. So now I can run backing tracks through it's speakers, and play along. Thanks for the video! ps: $65 was a steal
I love these keyboards that have the MIDI standard for drums ready to be sequenced with drum machines. I have the Yamaha PSS-A50 that has MIDI through USB; I to plug it into a USB MIDI Host and connect the MIDI in to the RD-9 MIDI out and I can do the same trick you showed in the video. Its great for when you want to have acoustic drum samples layered with analog punchy drums.
Do you plug the Yamaha PSS-A50 to a device like a midiman usb midisport 4x4 and the connect it to a drum machine? I thought the usb on these would only work with a computer with the right driver.
@@offthematrix5310 In my case I use the DOREMIDI UMH-21. It can power and transmit MIDI without the need for a computer. You can change the MIDI out channel directly on the PSS-A50 with the shift button. I have even sequenced basslines by sending midi out of my TD-3 through the MIDI in of the UMH-21. It has some weird tricks you have to learn to be able to select an specific tone you want to sequence; but it works. And you can also use the arpeggio mode of the A-50 to send to other synths. It doesn't work on my TD-3 but I was able to arpeggiate samples from my volca sample played chromatically with the Pajen firmware update. I can even record those arpeggios and playback the result. There is a wordpress website that explains how you can add a 5 pin MIDI out but I haven't tried it.

I have Casio WK3000, I think it only differs from the WK3200, in its outputs.
