Jeremy See's review video here
Topic Today:
- 4000s of signatures
- Medeli AKX10
- Yamaha Musicsoft's new MIDISPOT MIDIs, Discount right now into only just $6.99, per song.
WHOAH!!! 4000s signatures??! we'll uh, thancc. We expect this petition to be uh, failed. but, oh! our investment for this petition is not a waste at all. okay.
Next. A Hong Kong (if not wrong) (or Mainland? help idk) musical instrument company, called Medeli. Released an Arranger Keyboard, meant to compete against Yamaha PSR-SX, Korg Pa, and other similar medium end arranger keyboards. They have AKX10 (or A2000 for Chinese version), the arranger keyboard that has lots of the features arranger keyboard by standard have. And, in fact, they even got more than whom they compete against!
- (Pls PDF owner manual) GM2 and Panel voices are sampled greatly with care. Yes, your garbage MIDI files may sound much better with this thing. pls give me this for a moment to test this hypothesis.
- Side LED disco light (see Jeremy See's review, in about middle way of video).
- each buttons lights are RGB LEDs. You can customize each statement color to your liking! want it be a Genos-like Blue and Orange, Hatsune Miku's Silver & Turquoise, or whatever!
- 256? Note Polyphony is quite small numbers. And yeah, that's the problem with currently GM2 required specifications. Should've even more, more than XG is. BUT, as Jeremy See attempted to push the keyboard to the limit, he hasn't noticed any dropouts. Although so, newer sample of test is needed with real MIDI files. Say, Black MIDI yay!
- what else?
Right, then how do we buy this? We are Indonesian, and want to dip our hands on it. Ah! found it!
A music store from Surabaya had this Medeli AKX10 in stock. You can buy it right now from their Shopee, or Tokopedia. Yes, like reviewers said, for Indonesian, it costs only Rp 9 Juta (9 million)!!!! WAY PECKING CHEAPER THAN comparable & contestable, PSR SX-900 for Rp 18 Juta (18 Million). Yet, the Medeli AKX10 covers majority of the things better than Yamaha and Korg did with their medium end arrangers!
obviously though it is not better than Yamaha Genos in terms of ASMR quality, with even more sophistication in hand. However, that we finally able to build mist of conclusion that Yamaha is very arrogant with their XG Musicsoft voice selections. You see, if you have yourself any Yamaha MIDI, notably the modern one we showed here bellow, Yamaha always plays on their obscure MSB, LSB, and Program numbers. And in the GM standard voices, they just leave quality just like that, and that's it. Because of this, any MIDI files made with only GM in mind will sounds just like that. boring, linear and stuff like that. Yamaha only have great sound quality if you set those voice in every panel to Yamaha's own special MSB, LSB and Program numbers.
and we believe that Medeli at least had helped us with this situations. We haven't tested the hypothesis yet because this thing is new, and we haven't find any demo unit lying around malls, plus the inability to access the PDF manual from their website at the time of this post here. We can only assume that the 0 MSB, and 0 LSB, had their voices premium already. Not much unlike Yamaha Genos, but that default sound (without any effects applied) (according to Jeremy See's review we hear the audio of it) is contestable enough to be considered. So that's why we assume MIDI, even the most garbage one could sound even better without needing PSR UTI to touch somekind of those Obscure MSB LSB Program numbers like Yamaha requires. In Medeli, even cheapskate MIDI could sound premium out the box. I think.. idk. pls help!
of course, Medeli had their own voice numbers at their discretion. BUT still, within the GM2 standard which is easier to have, that hopefully should be enough to make your MIDI that sounds like a toy before, into Billboard winning ASMR sounding!!! yeah! What I mean is, the Premium sound is right at the default GM's LSB MSB Program numbers! not like Yamaha. Which is great!
Next. for Yamaha? well, disappointingly, there isn't much related move out there in their press area. But, for Musicsoft things. They got new MIDI yay!

Finally, for bad news. We regret to inform you that some of the older Yamaha Musicsoft MIDI files are gone ever since this massive update to Yamaha Musicsoft. Only some returns in form of all versions in one pack per song. Therefore, customers that are too late to buy their dream song after that update will not be able to find the song they wanted anymore. When the safe time comes, and for long time been Yamaha did not reupload those MIDI files, we will repost the MIDI file we bought to somewhere to punish Yamaha Musicsoft for not reuploading those MIDIs.
thancc for your attention
