Usable as a MIDI Controller? YAMAHA SHS-10/200 - Every MIDI Parameter Explained [Keytar Review]

While the YAMAHA SHS-10 keytar and its bigger brother, the SHS-200, look absolutely stunning (if you're into '80s retro-future design, that is), truth be told they are fundamentally toy keyboards. They do, however, have a MIDI out port. Is that enough to make them usable? What MIDI messages are they able to send besides note on/off ones? In this video, I take a deep dive into just that, showing you every single MIDI control of these keyboards and actually connecting my SHS-200 to my laptop via bluetooth MIDI to control my software synth of choice, Vital, and even some of Ableton Live's parameters. 00:00 Intro 01:10 MIDI Monitoring 02:45 Note On/Off 03:06 Velocity 04:07 Oct -/+ 05:18 Pitch Wheel 06:35 CC 11:01 Clock & Start/Stop 15:21 Program Change 17:13 MIDI Channel 18:53 Extra Sections 19:28 SHS-200 Bonus Features 19:55 Temporary VS Toggle 21:30 Outr
