Yamaha PSS-A50

Compact and light with 37 keys, runs on 4xAA batteries or USB power. Built-in speaker. Small selection of voices can seem a little bland. Arpeggiator is a great feature which takes time to master.Basic short phrase recorder is also very handy for sketching ideas. Doubles as a MIDI keyboard so great for travellers. No sustain pedal socket and only a combined headphones/output socket, which can be a little hissy. Everything involves compromise but Yamaha have steered a sensible course with this mini keyboard. Recommended.

Bought this for my baby (and for me to plinker with some times). He is still to small but I hope one day he will like it. I chose this one because its a good brand and also the only in its priceclass with touch sensitive keys.. Thats a big + !! So far I like it, hope it will keep working for a long time..

I bought two of these because one of the kids stuck something into the USB port and MIDI stopped working (charging and power still works).
Love it so much, that I did not hesitate to get another one since repair costs exceed the value of a new unit.
Simply a winner in this price range if you want velocity keys and MIDI controller option.
PRO: velocity keys, phrase record/loop, compact, USB charged and MIDI support via USB
CON: slight noise when using headphones, mono speaker, could use more info on the left side of the keyboard

I needed a keyboard that was small, easy to grab, with decent sounds. Just something for testing out ideas so to say. They keyboard is well built, the keys feel good and distinct and the dynamic feels as natural as can be on a small. non-weighed, keyboard. It has many more features than I need so I will not comment on them.

I guess I could give it 5 stars, but I don't think this was ever intended to be a 5 star instrument, not for that price, so I give it 4.

In a sentence: Money well spent!

I got these to test tunes at home. I needed something small, portable, one I can grab fast and easily. Admittedly, the keys feel a little small, but this was somewhat expected. Sound are okay, but would have benefited from a second speaker. Sound itself is clean thou, no cracking or overdriven speaker sounds. Would not use in a band session, but for home use, good enough. Would I recommend it? Depends very much on what you need it for. But for the price, this is not a big hit, if you are not satisfied.

Good for playing around on. Volume is pretty low.

I bought this to mess about with. Cheap and concise. the synth lead sound can work well in context of almost ANY dance track! The only thing I would have liked more is if it had a 1/4 inch jack output rather than a 1/8th output... other than that. I'd happily have a go at recording music with this keyboard! Just for fun!
