Great portable mini keyboard.
This isn't for everyone - especially if you don't like minikeys, but if you are already looking into getting the PSS-A50 then you probably know what the keys will be like. They are actually ok - small of course, but these same keys are on the Reface series keyboards and they were 5 times the price at launch - so they are quite usable and the touch sensitivity (velocity sensitive) is usable although not amazing. The speaker sounds a bit rubbish and probably doesn't add anything to the already mediocre piano sounds, however, its reasonably loud and as a practice/composing tool is really useable. The arp features are good and can be applied to all the different instrument sounds which makes for some interesting experimental playing around. This would not be good for a beginner in piano for learning to play (keys too small), but for practicing learning chord structures etc could be useful and is what I have been using it for. Its small enough to squeeze into a (larger) daysack, which is pretty amazing, so for a take anywhere keyboard that won't break the bank if it gets stolen or damaged, you can't really go wrong with the little Yamaha. As others have mentioned, it could be used in the same way someone might carry a guitar for composing / singalong etc and is even smaller. The batteries seem to go on for ever too (just 4 AA's). Happy with it so far, my only gripe is that he finish and screen look rather cheap - but then maybe this makes it look more like a toy (unlike the Reface series) which actually adds to the charm and makes it a little bit less of a target to would-be thieves. Maybe it's a little redundant if you already have something like the Reface CP, but if you don't and need an ultra portable keyboard, then this would definitely do the job.

Makes even a novice sound good
After some months of ownership I feel compelled to write that this keyboard is one of the best purchases I've made in many a year. I'm a novice, yet due to the richness and fidelity of the voices (epecially the piano and organ) and the feel and sensitivity of the keys, I've been inspired to play on it constantly. And after all that practice I'm now sounding pretty good to my own ears. Highly recommended.

Small USB Music Keyboard
I've wanted a small but functional USB MIDI keyboard for some time. I like composing, but at 5am in the morning it's not great to play my piano or my larger keyboard. I also have a small office which is ideal if I could find a smaller keyboard to place on the desk 'at will'. Enter THIS keyboard. Small footprint, compact, USB or battery powered, light, reasonably well featured and sensible MIDI instrument set if slightly imperfectly chosen. If I was to design my OWN keyboard it wouldn't be far away from this model. It comes boxed and with a USB lead. The keys are semi sized, but relatively easy to play despite my slightly oversize hands. One feature I use a lot is the drop/raise octave as there are only three octaves which doesn't quite cover full vocal range for all musical keys. All in all it does what I hoped it would, performs well, doesn't need additional power, and with a decent pair of headphones serves my purposes. If there was one tiny criticism I would say that some of the sound samples aren;t of the best quality, causing some winces when playing some tracks. That's a minor observation but at its' price-point it is sufficiently adequate.

Great instrument
This is a superb bit of kit as you can record onto it and loop the recording so i record bass lines and drums and play along with them. The only issue is some of the tones are quiet ( solved by using an extermal speaker) but for this price and the features it had it cant be beat .

LOVE THIS KEYBOARD!
Extremely portable and versatile. I wanted something that can go anywhere with me, something that I can play on the go or just have next to my bed and can grab and play some keys. This is just perfection (for me at least). Pros: Small, lightweight, great sounding for the size, good selection of voices, I've been running this for days on battery and it's still going strong, great options for power: battery, micro-usb or power bank. Can be used as Midi interface. Cons: Keys are a bit small, ok for me but maybe not if you have big hands. Does look a little cheap for the price. Might just be my keyboard, but there is some slight static noise when listening on headphones.

Wish I'd had one years ago
Brilliant little keyboard. Bought for my niece to support music lessons and I am going to have to buy her another as this one is mine now. It can be powered using the USB cable and your pc or mac or phone charger, or run from 4 AA batteries so is completely portable. It can record phrases. It sounds good enough for messing around on. With the arpeggiator and portamento and touch-response i9t starts to feel like quite an analogue instrument. There must be people making a perfectly good living playing one of these. It can also be used as a midi-controller on your DAW. I like the small keys very much and can't put the thing down. For many people recording at home or catching ideas out and about this will be perfect. Impressed.

Poor Visual Clarity Of Operation For Sight Impaired Users
Irritating point no.1 - Visual Clarity Of Operation With regard visual clarity of use there is no colour differential or tonal separation between the function buttons and voice preset buttons - they are all black against a black case. For anyone with sight problems or when using in low light this plus the fact that the descriptive text beside the function buttons is low contrast I found problematic. Irritating point no.2 The 4 AA batteries (Amazon Basic) lasted about 3 days of fairly extensive testing .. The manual states “ When battery power becomes too low for proper operation, the volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other problems may occur” Proper operation?… Other problems may occur?……. Rather than volume loss , or sound distortion, by day 3 using batteries my PSS-A50 began to randomly switch itself off without warning Adjusting the Auto Power Off timer setting to “off” made no difference to this occurring. Testing with both new batteries and the usb power from computer resolved this issue. A warning that the batteries are too low would be a nice feature. A battery tester showed that the batteries were far from being flat suggesting that the PSS-A50 is more selective than other small keyboards I own. Irritating point no.3 There is a jump of volume between many sound presets voices. The organ default preset iI found is too loud by comparison and the bass sounds too low. Similarly many of the arpeggio setting can range in volume. Irritating point no.4 The default piano voice 1 ‘Grand Piano’ when dropped 1 octave loses voice integrity on the lower 3 notes G, G♯ and A. Of interest point no.1 The USB to USB micro B cable that comes in the box is 1 metre in length. To power the keyboard by running it off a USB power adaptor (not supplied) I would suggest buying a longer cable. Points of Merit it’s cute size is perfect for sitting on the sofa with , sitting up in bed , under a tree etc etc The touch sensitive keyboard bed has a nice feel too and is responsive. The default piano voice 1 ‘Grand Piano’ is particularly nice at a 0 octave range for a keyboard of this price. The sustain and portamento buttons are useful The Drum Kit/Percussion voices 41, Vibraphone and 42 Marimba make for very sweet arpeggio sequences to play over

Great keyboard, sounds so so
The keyboard on this item is really nice, great weight and sensitivity. The built in sounds are much of a muchness but when you hook it up to a computer running Logic or Garageband this is a really pleasant keyboard to use. USB goes both ways so you can use it as an external sound module which is quite something at this price. Even as a simple midi usb keyboard this is great, but add in the arpeggiator, external sound module functionality and built in recording and you have an item that offers plenty of fun at a great price. Recommended.

DINGUERIE de clavier arrangeur pour composer. Ceci n'est pas un jouet!
Je ne trouve pas de défaut majeur à un clavier qui coûte 85€ et avec lequel on peut carrément composer ou arranger n'importe quel morceau... En fait, j'avais peur de ne pas pouvoir le relier à mon DAW, mais en fait le port jack permet d'envoyer le signal en analogique au DAW ou même à des enceintes ou à n'importe quel CAB, du moment qu'il y a un ampli. Il y a quand même un peu de souffle, histoire d'impédance peut-être, mais je peut atténuer ça sur ma carte son, voir quasiment le supprimer, à voir si un boitier DI peut résoudre complètement le problème?. J'aurai aussi préféré un port jack 6,5mm mais bon ça fait le job. Donc voilà j'utilise ce clavier arrangeur pour mes compo et on a tous ce qu'il faut pour tout composer. Le mode arpège est utile pour plein de riffs quand on manque d'inspiration. Et le bonus c'est qu'il est tellement compact et léger qu'il tient sur un pupitre. Le seul truc moins glamour c'est qu'il a visuellement l'aspect d'un clavier d'initiation pour enfants (qui soit dit en passant sont aussi certainement une cible pour ce produit) heureusement, il n'a pas les touches lumineuses dessus! Un pro qui vagabonde peut tout à fait trouver son compte à acheter ce clavier qui de plus fonctionne aussi bien sur pile que sur prise secteur, ou même juste en le branchant à son ordi en USB. Cette prise USB justement parlons en, elle fait donc à la fois alimentation et transmetteur de signal MIDI. Avec cela on peut activer l'option, le clavier arrangeur devient un clavier maître, évidemment ici sans touch pad. C'est simple et clair, y a que Yamaha qui propose un clavier aussi compact avec autant de possibilités et avec des sons d'aussi bonne qualité. Je précise que mis à part le petit HP, logiquement pas très puissant, bien que suffisant pour correctement entendre ce qu'on joue, les sons d'instru sont idem que sur les claviers haut de gamme de la même marque, même qualité. il y en a surement moins que sur les Yamaha PSR-SX ou PSR-E et puis y a pas la molette d'octave physique, bien que le bouton motion effect fasse à peu prés le même taf, mais quand même c'est à souligner. Branchez ce jouet sur une sono et vous aurez un vrai petit synthé, même sur scène vous trouverez surement votre compte sur de petites scènes de type bar/pub. L'effet de vélocité fonctionne bien, mais par défaut il est pour moi trop présent et je devais appuyer comme un bourrin pour sortir le volume max, heureusement on peut facilement modifier ça voir même supprimer la vélocité, il y a 4 modes pour ça, mode OFF : pas de vélocité, on ne peut jouer que des notes ff mode 1 : vélocité assez faible, note ff (maximale) atteinte sans forcer... mode 2 : vélocité modérée, il faudra frapper fort pour jouer f ! Et éclater votre clavier pour jouer ff. mode 3 : vélocité prononcée (par défaut), il faudra frapper fort pour jouer mf! Et éclater votre doigt + votre bureau pour ne sortir que du f. Révisez vos cours de solfège si vous ne comprenez pas ;p ;p ;p à moins de vouloir éclater votre clavier avant la fin de garanti légale, je vous conseil de vous cantonner au mode 1 pour la vélocité mais après c'est vous qui voyez... perso je ne l'utilise pas, pour avoir un volume suffisant pour mes compos. Exclusivité Yamaha, n'hésitez même pas! J'ai cherché et aucune autre marque ne construit un clavier d'aussi bonne qualité et aussi compact. Pour le mode Arpeggio qui est quand même vachement complet et varié, on a un mode sustain, faute de pouvoir brancher une pédale de sustain, mais bon faut quand même pas être c** pour le prix, c'est très bien. Mais vraiment le mode MIDI sera surement un plus pour moi, même si pour l'instant je n'utilise pas cette fonction, les sons présents dessus étant déjà suffisants pour composer les bases de mes morceaux. Et puis alors, gros plus! et pas des moindres, tu branche, y a du son! Pas comme les claviers maîtres avec lesquels il faut d'abord décrocher un master en MAO pour réussir à sortir un son, et surtout avec lesquels il faut obligatoirement un ordinateur avec les logiciels qu'il faut et qui je le rappelle coutent toujours une somme en supplément, et c'est souvent pas donné du tout! Et pour finir, les logiciels gratuits offerts avec des claviers maître dans cette même gamme de prix offriront un choix très limité de sample et de sonorité instrumental, car ce ne sont pas des synthé! Souvent y aura pas de guitare par exemple et puis les logiciels pour attribuer les touches à un sample vont te broyer le cerveau tellement ils sont nazes et pas ergonomiques, je prends l'exemple de MPC beats fourni avec les CM de chez Akai, j'ai essayé et j'ai abandonné l'idée de composer avec ça après 1 semaine de galère (j'avais acheté un Akai mini MPC, même gamme de prix) je l'ai retourné. Ici on branche, ça envoi. Évidemment puisque c'est un clavier arrangeur, donc c'est d'abord un piano. On pourrait même qualifier cet instrument de "workstation" nomade, si il y avait quelques fonctions supplémentaires pour les pros. Dans mon cas, si j'ai pris ce clavier c'est que j'avais très peu de place chez moi et que je voulais absolument le placer sur mon bureau et pas ailleurs, donc il trône devant mon clavier de PC, sauf que celui-ci ne me sert pas à écrire mais à composer de la musique. Et de plus, il me servira en concert pour les parties synthé, il peut même servir de PAD pour les intros ou les ponts... c'est vraiment l'instru' polyvalent qu'il me fallait. Merci Yamaha, toujours les boss, toujours parmi les meilleurs que ce soit dans les engins motorisés comme dans la musique, car en plus de savoir construire les meilleurs pianos du monde, ils font aussi de très bonnes basses! (je suis bassiste) et aussi de très bons prix.

Einstieg leicht gemacht!!
Das Yamaha PSS-A50 ist ein geniales Einsteiger-Keyboard für die jungen MusikerInnen. Bereits vierjährige haben schnell einige Funktionen erlernt. Es ist nicht zu laut, für kleine Hände geeignet. Und für den Campingurlaub bestens zur Stimmungsmache einzusetzen. Gute Verarbeitung. Der Preis ist in Ordnung.
