    One improvement could be suggested (found it in my keyboard on disassembly) - the rubber pad is pressed by a narrow stud of the pedal, so the pressure is applied mainly to the center of the contact pad. A square piece of thin paperboard or plastic (e.g. 0.5-0.8 mm thick) placed between the stud and the rubber pad would destribute pressure of the stud to the whole width of the pad and thus make the contact more reliable.

  • @ATMFoxtrot
    @ATMFoxtrot Před 25 dny

    So what was the cause of the problem? Deteriorated rubber washers (changing geometry of the lever pivot point) or dirt on the circuit board? I disassabmled a similar keaboard (Electone's HS-5) having the same problem with one of the keys and all the contarcts on the circuit board look nicely clean as well as the rubber pads. I am affraid to use any liquids (like IPA) on the contacts - they look like coated with something darker than metal traces on the board. What foam cleaner did you use?

      @@phooto Thanks for the link! I changed the washers too and it works fine now. But I used washers from roof screws - had to tear off the rubber part from the metal washer. It fits tighter on the pedal bolt (6 mm inner diameter, 16 mm outer). I used IPA to clean the contacts, but they turned out not dirty at all.

    I have a PSS-A50, JD-Xi, black CT-S1 and an original Go:Keys. I will probably get the new Go:Keys 5, maybe a Casio CT-S500, and later an RD-08 and Yamaha CK61, which is essentially a full size 61 key Reface series keyboard in one and a lot more.

    I used to learn on one of these since i got one as a half-serious birthday present, just to try it out. It doesn't sound very good, of course, but you can actually learn to play on it. I spent half a year learning and bought myself a proper, electroacoustic tenor uke

    I recently got one to practice fingering and chords, I'm a complete novice and want to get a full size digi piano, I figured this would be a greay way to test my commitment to learning as well as offer a way to practice on the go as I have to travel regularly and fitting a full size piano isnt exactly easy. Great video and love the cards you printed, something I'd like to say for others who are interested in this, is that you can also tune the keys as well as turn off control output from the keyboard, so if you have this hooked up to a pc as a controller the sound can come through your pc output but not the keyboard speaker using just usb, I use this as a controller for some software so I found this to be useful.

    I've just tried to connect another bluetooth speaker (a jbl Tronsmart T6 Plus Upgraded) to a uke. It did connect but the sound was hardly audible, it couldn't amplify the uke. I assume the problem was not with the bluetooth speaker but maybe the electronics of the uke was too basic. What electonics do you need on your uke to be able to amplify it with a jbl go?

  • @craigbrowning9448
    @craigbrowning9448 Před 6 měsíci

    What I am trying to Figure out is how to get the YC to effectively interact with the auxiliary input on a Behringer Model D. The thing I'm having a challenge with is the YC MIDI Out appears to have to be plugged directly into the Behringer Model D MIDI In to get the two to function together as far as the triggering is concerned and being able to run the two units plus other sounds on MIDI Channel 1 through a controller keyboard. One thing I'm trying to do is use the Behringer Model D Auxiliary Input to function mainly with the YC Farfisa combo organ sound to add additional filtering and envelope controls.

      ​@@phootoI agree. For the price, very decent. Don't expect top tier quality, but years ago, much more expensive keyboards were the same. So for the price and portability and that you can use this as a controller keyboard for a DAW is awesome, too. You just need a micro USB to whatever USB cable to what is equipped on your other device.
