Yamaha - Electronic Wind InstrumentThe physical feedback of the instrument stimulates your senses
Blowing into the mouthpiece resonates throughout the instrument-a vibration you can feel on your lips, fingertips, and even your heart. The acoustic system integrated into the bell, created by the fusion of acoustic and digital technologies, produces an incredibly authentic and beautiful sound that gives you the sensation of playing an acoustic instrument.
Breath SensorBy simply blowing into the mouthpiece and using the correct fingerings, you can produce an excellent acoustic saxophone sound, like a professional musician, without needing a mouthpiece adapted to your mouth. The YDS-150 is equipped with a breath sensor that detects the intensity or pressure of your breath, allowing you to finely control not only the volume but also the tone.
Transform your breath into a variety of instrument sounds. In addition to the basic saxophone types (soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone) and a wide range of fifty-six related sounds, you can also select and play nine other wind instruments.
Key Position & FingeringThe saxophone key layout is essential for playability and feel. The ergonomics of the YDS-150 keywork were designed based on Yamaha's flagship acoustic saxophone model to achieve the most natural playing experience and a smoother touch. You can also use the dedicated app to change the fingering and customize it according to your own needs.
Note-by-Note SamplingThe YDS-150 incorporates meticulously recorded note-by-note samples of Yamaha acoustic soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones, recorded by professional musicians, allowing you to fully enjoy your performance with perfectly realistic sounds.
Authentic Sound of the 4 Acoustic SaxophonesThe YDS-150 allows you to instantly change the pitch, range, and timbre of each of the different types of saxophones: soprano, alto, tenor, or baritone. Moreover, each saxophone type has different saxophone tones that correspond to various playing techniques and musical genres, from vibrato to jazz to classical music. In total, the YDS-150 features 73 instrument sounds, including 56 saxophone tones, electronic instruments, wind instruments such as the shakuhachi, oriental flute, Irish pipe, and many more. The YDS-150 enables you to express yourself authentically in virtually any musical genre.
External ConnectionsThe new Yamaha YDS-150 electronic saxophone is equipped with an auxiliary input for connection with other devices such as smartphones and audio players, a headphone output, a micro-USB port, and Bluetooth wireless connectivity. You can play along with music from an external source* or with other musicians (* available only when using headphones or the headphone output).
You can also modify settings, sound adjustments, fingering, and other instrument controls at will using the dedicated smartphone app-making your playing experience even more enjoyable.
Play with Peace of MindVolume control across fifteen levels allows you to play freely without worrying about location or time. The instrument can be played quietly at night, and with headphones, you can apply ambient reverb and fully immerse yourself in your performance.
