@@pratyulmusic I just tested the Kross 1 (new videos coming soon). I like both the MX61 and the kross, considering the "low-cost" machines. Each has great features and some weak point...
When pressing on the sustain pedal, do sounds fade out or is it more of a 'hold'? This is one of the problems with the Casio CT-S500. It's just 'hold'. Also, once the pedal is plugged it, it's 'hold'. Press down on the pedal to turn it off. So it's bass-ackwards. Also, can you program your own delay effects? I searched the manual for 'delay'. Nothing.
ciao, thanks for comment! the sustain pedal is always a "hold". the fade effects depends on poliphony (I guess). here you can see that with strings and synths I used the pedal and notes are fading... if the pedal works in the way you described, there is the inverted polarity. maybe your pedal has a switch in order to change that, or the instruments itself has a parameter to be adjusted ("dumper" or "sustain" polarity) in the "controller menu"
I absolutely love the string sections on the MX/Motif synths. But literally every string patch has vibrato programmed in. i wish Yamaha would have just left the vibrato to the user to add or control.
Grazie per averci risparmiato Jump, anche se l'accenno era evidente e abbiamo apprezzato lo sforzo enorme per trattenerti... :-) ,ciao Marco! Comunque l'assurdo dell'MX è la scandalosa gestione della multitimbricitá: pazzesco l'impossibilità di mettere in layer più di due canali midi!!! Un limite davvero castrante.
In effetti con il preset dedicato a quel suono viene naturale andare a parare da quelle parti 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Gestione delle parti... non ci giurerei (perché non ho installato l'editor su pc e non ho alcuna intenzione di installarlo 🤣😁) ma qualcuno mi ha detto, nei commenti agli altri video di questa playlist, che si può fare pressoché tutto (ma solo con l'editor)
@@marcoballa Non ho l'editor perché, deluso, al secondo giorno dall'acquisto non l'ho più accesa: trovavo incomprensibile poter mettere in layer (da pannello è così) solo i canali midi 1 e 2... ora mi informo sull'editor... resta assurdo non poterlo fare on board... grazie Marco, un abbraccio virtuale.

Ciao Marco,.... Ottimo demo, mostra la varietà di suoni che sono quasi tutti eccellenti senza plasmarli troppo. Il mio preferito è sempre il suono del synth e delle corde. Cordiali saluti.
Ciao! I do not have the instrument at the moment... I know that everything could be edited with the pc editor (and directly on the instrument too). The user manual was not helpful?
Muy lindo el brass la verdad yamaha la rompe en instrumentos de vientos. En lo demas me gusta korg. Pero como suena el brass del yamaha impresionanteeee!!!
Great video! I also have a question. I hope it's not a silly one, but does the Yamaha MX61 also have an option the edit and create your own brass or string sounds, for exemple more or less vibrato and such? Or does it only have pre-made sounds?
Does this synth allow you to store a split of two sounds? For example, if I wanted to have strings on the left side and saxophone on the right side of middle C, AND of course, I would want to transpose each side as needed (so neither side isn't scaled too low or too high).
Ciao, I do not have this instrument in my studio now... as I can remember, everything could be managed with the pc editor, including split, layer, ecc.
@@TheRockRoomPhilZuckerman While you can definitely do splits, I've never been able to figure out how to octave-shift each side of a split. Yes, I can do it globally, but not for each side. That would be a huge benefit to me. I have the MX61 as my top tier keyboard; upgraded from an MX49.
It would be nice to see ONE NOTE at a time. The cords sound "full', but most of my playing is "simple" (but effective): 1 note, or the 1 and 3 or 1 and 5, or octave. Too bad we can't hear that.
Ciao, grazie per il commento 👍 È una carrellata dei presets di fabbrica, per ogni categoria (in questo video, come specificato dall'immagine, si tratta di STRINGS, BRASS, SYNTH, PAD).
ciao, thanks for comment! there are some "atmospheric" pads, all is "basic" but you can edit with the pc editor. I don't know if you'll find exactly what you need, but everything sounds pretty good on this entry level machine... (I do not own this instrument, so I cannot make test at the moment)
ciao, unfortunately i have no other videos (i had this keyboard in studio just for these videos). i know about a dedicated software editor, so you can simply connect to a pc via usb. all info on the yamaha webpage: it.yamaha.com/it/products/music_production/synthesizers/mx_bk_bu/downloads.html#product-tabs
I just used presets, so I'm not able to answer. There is a complete pc editor for all presets/users tone editing and data backup. There should also be a "write protect" flag in order to avoid data loss.
ciao e grazie per il commento! Dunque, da quanto ho trovato in rete, la versione 2 risolve il problema delle uscite audio "poco efficaci" (non ho avuto la versione 1, ma ho letto di problematiche relative alla scarsa "consistenza" del segnale in uscita).

ciao Marco hai provato il BEHRINGER Poly D clone del mitico Model D di Moog...???............se si che ne pensi visto che possiedi l’originale😍😍😍..........complimenti x i tuoi video
Ciao! Grazie per il tuo commento! Sì, provato il behringer sia desktop che poly D. Fanno il loro sporco lavoro, ottime macchine per fare pratica in tema synth. Suonano anche molto bene e hanno una discreta presenza in un mix. E no, non suonano come un minimoog model D :-))))) Ma a quel prezzo sono davvero interessanti e in un mix con tanta altra roba chi lo capisce se è un vero minimoog? :-))))
@@marcoballa Is it also possible to do more than two layers on the device itself? Maybe like setting the MIDI channel to 1 for the first four parts... If there is such a submenu.
@@marcoballa ok, thank you. I only use it with an iPad (no PC) so it would be really handy, if I could create multiple (more than 2) layers on the MX itself.
ciao, they are all factory presets. honestly I don't remember (I do not have this instrument at home any more), but you can check the reference manual/sounds list: usa.yamaha.com/files/download/other_assets/8/328498/mx49mx61_en_dl_a0.pdf

hello thanks for the beautiful video. the sounds are magic, i buy this synth.
thanks to you for comment 👍
yes, these sounds are great (considering the "low cost" instrument)!
I absolutely love the string sections on the MX/Motif synths. But literally every string patch has vibrato programmed in. i wish Yamaha would have just left the vibrato to the user to add or control.
unfortunately I had no choice to test the pc editor.
maybe there is some possible editing for strings on it?
please do the acoustic and electric piano like this one! . thank you for sharing
ciao!
all videos already available 🙂
(see link in video description 👍)
This is the kind video that I've been looking for! Now I'm convince that I'll buy one.
I'm glad you found it useful!!!!
thanks for comment :-)
Me too! Trying to decide between Roland DS and this. This is exactly the kind of demo I was looking for. The Yammy looks like it will win.

But it was for sure a factory preset 🙂
