All user reviews for the Yamaha PSR-1000

I pass characteristics. Just say that the keyboard is quite nice and the sound palette is wide. The sequencer is quite convenient and complete.

UTILIZATION

Although it requires a minimum of training, this keyboard is pretty easy and allows you to quickly evolved enough stuff.

OVERALL OPINION

A friend gave me this keyboard slept in a corner at home. At first, I thought "yeah, an advanced toy" while thinking about what I also like equipment.

I still installed in my office just to make small musical breaks without having to get in the studio.

And there, in use, surprise:
- The sound palette is rather good
- It is vast and varied
- The integrated step sequencer offers a lot of possibilities

In short, he quickly used notepad to throw a few basic ideas of songs.

It is not suitable to make a complete production: although some are of good quality, it is still quite far from the realism of large sample banks and, of course, real instruments. In terms of synthesized sounds, it's not bad, but it's still quite limited.

on the other hand, it is something I recommend without problem:
- People who want to compose songs without taking the head with computer music
- Fans who want to have fun with a quality product cheap
- The use I've had, namely notepad to quickly develop ideas without having to go through any technical arsenal often not conducive to the creation

I finally sold, as needed and as I finally was using too little. I regret it a bit today and I moved my studio is my home, but a few miles. Occasionally, I repeat maybe to have at home.

The PSR 1000 arranger keyboard is a fairly complete. It can be described as semi-pro.il possde 5 octaves, a large Crant making it easy to use, connectivity noon (in and out), a connection to host, 2 output jacks, possibility to connect 2 p Dales.

UTILIZATION

Operation is very simple
edition of the sound is faster
However, the manual can fly over a principle.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years and I can tell you that I use has 70 percent of its resources

- 5 octaves keyboard arranger
- 2 jacks (mono or stereo), midi, to host, 2 taken to pedal ...
- Enough sounds (+ 700), and a lot of support. Note that the sounds can be changed at will by the sound editor, similar to the accompaniments.
- 16-track mixer handy
- Floppy Disk Drive
...

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is simple (it adapts quickly) but the editor step by step (very powerful!) Requires enough attention (I try two three times but not mastery jle).
Editing sounds is easy enough, you arrive quickly at a profit.
Unfortunately, the manual could be a little clearer ...
Overall, as we do not fall within the advanced functions of the keyboard, it is very simple and convenient to use! A treat!
A small negative point: the keyboard seems a bit fragile, and we must say that this is not a piano (but still very light and pleasant to the touch)!

OVERALL OPINION

I use this keyboard for three years now, and I am more than satisfied!
Coming from a (very) old PSR 210 (lol), I will perhaps not be objective but the sound that comes out is really superb! The speakers are very good qualities and render particularly low, which is nice. They are powerful enough (2 * 15 W RMS area) to be played with, but obviously in a repeat they are not audible!
It's really a keyboard to do everything very general fact for all styles, it finally fit into the line of the PSR what!
I use right now in my metal band and use it correctly can really make things nice!
Objectively I think he has an excellent price / quality ratio!

Finally do I do it again this choice?
In reflection, for the price I think so!

UTILIZATION

The general configuration of the device may seem complex at first sight but it is not.
Indeed, the handling is fast enough with a manual that seems well explained for simple functions.
So it's fairly intuitive once you are immersed on the keyboard and its LCD menus which are relatively well studied and easy to use.
The variety of sounds is great and sounds very realistic.
In addition, editing of sounds by sound creator is nice. The same for the Style Creator (all depends the use you are going to have on your keyboard after...).
The 16-track sequencer application a little getting used to but the brave will arrive perfectly.
The only problem is though that when you start to want to create pieces a little beefy, 64-note polyphony becomes too tight! In addition, it is unfortunate that all the effects can not be recordable on step sequencers (What ControlChange and parameters to consider?). The manual is a bit tight at this level again (but that is the hallmark of Yamaha! Damage).

OVERALL OPINION

I use the PSR 1000 for two years and I have to control about 80% of its capacity. What is already huge technological saw the little monster he is. It is obvious that there is always better, especially since it's a keyboard that date of 3-4 years. But despite my notes a bit harsh (as well as to notes, it is better to be picky!), The arranger keyboard is extremely rich. The small would be less of storage capacity sounds or songs created, you can still save them on disk, but hey, matter of practice! But other than that, do not rely on notes, because this keyboard is semi-pro and is a model of the utmost quality (no more synthetic sounds and hyper hyper unrealistic) with the PSR 1000, up to new technological era for value for money could not be better! Without hesitation, I do it again the same choice, especially since I have not encountered any technical problem on the keyboard for two years while my use is intensive.

OVERALL OPINION

I use the isp since 1000 for over 2 years and I must say that I metrisable to + 85% which is absolutely huge considering the small jewel of technology that can est.Il parraitre very complicated but the first time this is normal but in the end, it is really easy to really trèspratique USER degrees and because it has many abilities and the manual is exteme clair.personnellement, I am content not only to play with this synth, but I 'm always looking for new office or use the ones I know déja.Il satisfies me greatly and the price is not huge compared to the quality of produit.Je highly recommend it or another synth psr 1000 Series and more.
I gave it a score of 9 / 10 because he really deserves it and is very easy to use

Keyboard Workstation trs good quality 5-octave
a shame he did not meet the new PSR S700 and S900 (more complete and have tried a Journe).
Dj Full trs.
Port: noon and host (Yamaha)
Several effects are easily available

Trs sounds are good, especially the piano, bass and sax.
it seems he has a guy who blows the sax. The sounds are highly modified
To this is added a 16-track squenceur

UTILIZATION

Intuitive overall
trs cool karaoke function with friends. can also withdrawn the track we do DSIR hand.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months.
J'adorre squenceur function, karaoke (the lyrics dfilent the screen) and especially sounds. it is true that the bass is well illustrated.

This is the best quip worstation keyboard for the price, I do it again this election if the new PSR are expensive.

Arranger released in 2001
many styles for yamaha tyros is on the Internet
fau hook up a 24-bit converters ...! it lacks heat

UTILIZATION

When we understood how it works we can see that again later psr 1100 .2100 .3000 resume the same operation. it is nice to use with midi drum kit but the lack of realism! fau quickly forget the origins of rhythmic and download c already much better. I prefer to use it with an expander is approached from a tyros! at its classic good c and j have already tested in the bank psr 3000 and found the majority of isp ... that there is really quite a change which tyros psr 1500 from the USB drive is such that a 1000

OVERALL OPINION

Good arranger, but I m ​​serve less but 350,400 max c a bargain!
