Yamaha YDS-150 Digital Saxophone

For those of us who are interested in digital sax to practice, those of us who need silence to coexist. Why don't you make an Emeo vs Yamaha 120?

Thank you! Is it true that the app is only available on Apple?

in French:
mais que deviens la condensation ??
peut t'on le nettoyer pour eviter l'accumulation de microbes dans l'instrument ?

in English:
but what happens to the condensation?
Can it be cleaned to prevent the accumulation of microbes in the instrument?

They brought one of the instruments of the Cantina Band in Star Wars

Whatever you say... it just doesn't sound like a REAL Sax! It sounds.... AR-TI-FI-CI-AL! So? Throw it in the bin.

Mag diese Labertaschenvideos nicht. Spiel die Sounds und gut ist

Can you place rechargeable batteries and charge them through the instrument?

why would they make a digital instrument that still needs a reed?

Pretty sure Ive seen these played at a Mos Eisley cantnia

This is interesting , I have had to give up playing for the last 2 years because of serious teeth problems , maybe this is a solution

I’ve got this instrument “but I really want to call this as a toy” the sound is like those toys you can buy at supermarket to give as gift to a kid, the problem is that I paid fucking 700 euros

One advantage of the Roland AE -10 compared to other similar products is that it features a bite sensor to adjust the pitch so that it is possible to play bending notes.

It would be nice if it had replaceable neck and bell so it could be configured more like an alto, tenor or bari.

Can you change the key to Bb to mimic Tenor?

Needs to be wireless

😢why no J shape

How do you do vibrato with this if the reed has no influence?

I was wanted to learn sax without annoying my gf or neighbors. Looks like this is it

why does it sound like a crappy midi keyboard...

Its a completly utherly useless product, it has no relation to any live situation..

Confusing I have watched another in depth review which says it's absolute junk.

does it make acoustic noise when you play with headphones? can I play it at night without disturbing my family?

I'm looking to get back into the sax. Should I choose this or a different wind synth? I can't go with any analogue instrument because I'm in an apartment.

Is it possible to play with headphones on and avoid the sound coming out of the horn?

Real sax!??? The END!!

The Future!!!

Shut up and play the damn thing

It can be a soprano mouthpiece right?

I've played on a wx11 for over 20 years and the one thing that makes this controller unique is the pitch bend, lip zero control, I think it is the same on the wx7. This is the one feature that gives really nice control over expressive vibrato. With the wx5, it's as though they designed out the sensitivity of the best feature of that controller. Also have played on an Akai 4000 but always go back to my trusty old wx11 that has a soul. Yamaha, If it works don't fix it!

Thank you for this helpful video. I ordered mine back in Mach and it arrived in UK on Weds and with me Thursday. I’m 66 years old, just a basic self taught player in my late 40s…..and I had a lot of fun and satisfaction from my alto and tenor. But then I got ill;became disabled; and had dentures fitted. Still not in the best of health but retired I tried playing again and just didn’t have the breath or embouchure…….then I read about this and it has solved all my problems.

BEST

No vibrato is a deal breaker

how come it plays in fifths in the beginning? sorry if it is explained later in the video

hi i liked it , i got my second tenor from u < but off late my jaw gets locked when i play its beacuse of pressure and have been un able to play , its called TMJ disorder am missing my sax play just want to know whether i can blow with less pressure and get the same sound can i begin playing sax again i am excited to know thanks

sounds like a melodica'''' with some stomp boxes

What tone range, key and what music score ?

Great Presentation!

Hi Jim. I've had my YDS for 6 months. After 4 months the F# key stopped sounding after short sessions and occasionally the G# key as well. Adjusting responses in the instrument made no difference. Also, the Octave key seized up and became a touch sensitive option but I assume that was a precursor to the octave key failing to work at all. I have returned it to the store and have a store credit to purchase another if they ever become freely available here in Australia. I am disappointed that the instrument appears to lack a robustness I would expect in an instrument costing in excess of AUD$1,000. On the other hand, it was a most amazing instrument to play and I preferred to pick it up rather than my tenor. Neighbours and my wife were very appreciative I can tell you. I am hoping a replacement YDS will be able to cope with regular playing and that I just happened to have received a "lemon", in car parlance.

Could you tell us how to record on a Mac the audio of the sax YDS and the audio of a track simultaneously

Is it possible to directly connect headphones?

Thanks mate, just wonder if you can do a continuous glissando on this? Like the intro bit of Rhapsody in Blue?

I can't play notes with my tongue? I've been complaining about this for decades. I must be the only person who complains. I guess I used to play wrong, or I don't understand the synths or both or something or what.

"OMG it has an actual mouthpiece! ...
. . . never mind."

Game changing? How that? This Thing sounds awful indeed.

$700 for something that sounds nothing like a real sax? 😀 A midi keyboard and a decent saxophone vst does the Job for me.. yeah
$70 = midi keyboard +
$97 = Vienna Symphonic Library Tenor Saxophone - Full Library

Is this guy a real sax player or just selling this thing? Because soprano is in Bb but baritone is in Eb not Bb.

Would this be a good invest to relearn the tenor/soprano saxophone? Haven't touched a saxophone in over 11yrs and been wanting to relearn it

AWFUL! Give me Gene Ammons, Stan Getz, Gerry Mulligan any day besides this utter CRAP!
