Thank you for your kind words my friend.

You are such a great source of experience and advice and you have made great comparison videos that made all of the difference for me to be comfortable with my purchases.

Medeli has been making his own brand‘s keyboards and e-drums for nearly 40 years. But their brands are mainly targeted at the low-end market and are very popular in Africa. Even most Chinese musicians don't know them. And Medeli's another main business is to help Kurzweil, KORG, M-Audio, ALESIS, ddrum, Simmons Drums, KAT Drums......and many other brands to manufacture instruments. It's like a builder who has built too many houses, he can also become an architect to design some blueprints. I think some techs or UI in this unit are not copied, but authorized by Yamaha. It may even be that Yamaha wants to use Medeli to seize the low-end market, and share profits together. It happened before, some Medeli keyboards use the same Kurzweil sound library. By the way, the management in OEM factories nowadays is very, very strict. For example, Foxconn, which makes iPhones, can't even secretly make one more iPhone itself. Apple can track every single chip and motherboard. Not to mention plagiarism, losing huge OEM orders for unknown markets. In fact, the relationship between the OEM factory and these world-famous brands is very good. There will be a lot of problems in the manufacturing process (just like an architect's scheme, may easy to draw but hard to build in the real world). These OEM factories will help these brands a lot to solve a lot of problems. In return, these brands will also provide Medeli with some tech support. Why do I know these? My friend's factory makes headphone for Sennheiser, SONY, BOSE, AKG and so on. Even some new model, SONY just came to the OEM factory and choose the speaker unit. They just design the shell. XD

I'm sure Yamaha is certainly making good profit. But there is still nothing in the class of the PSR-S/SX series. It's so easy to make music with them.. Just that they are too expensive. You'll need more effort with, say, a Roland BK or Casio CT-X.

Hi Jeremy, I have been distributing Korg keyboards in my country for many many years, and I do know that the Korg factory publishes a list price named something like "Medeli factory", so I am 100% sure that Medeli manufactures many Korg pianos and keybords. And my friend that distributes Yamaha in another country told me that Medeli also manufactures keyboards for Yamaha: both Medeli and Yamaha share the same main circuit board. I have also distributed Medeli keyboards for 10 years or more and I can assure you that they are highest quality!...after hundreds or thousands of pianos and keyboards sold in 10 years, almost 0% come back for technical service. The quality is incredible good!!!

Hi Jeremy, great review. In your opinion, Medeli, could you release an update to visualize the lyrics and chords of the midi files or is it technically impossible on this keyboard?

Thanks J.. Nice to see competition... Good luck to them...look at the car market and how well Eastern Europe and China have done!! Could do with a copy of a korg with the EK's OS.

10:46 - It's the same Live! Classical/Nylon Guitar present on PSR-2100 (I still have my PSR-2100) and released first on PSR-9000. This guitar sound was present until Tyros 1 and PSR-3000. This Medeli AKX10 is a copy from previous Yamaha keyboards such as PSR-S, Tyros 1 and legacy top models, but I consider that this keyboard can be an attractive choice. I was studying its owner's manual and I could see that all voices are 100% compatible with GM/GM2 standard, many of them can be copy from special Yamaha voices such as Live, Sweet and Cool.

I only saw your video today. I have bought Medeli A1000 (which I found 5 years ago on a local music store, and it impressed me so much that time). The Medeli A1000 had one of those styles that were mentioned. I think this model (Medeli AKX10 is an upgrade of Medeli A1000, on top of what they had features, but this new one impressed me so much. I have been wondering is there any way to make custom sound samples or instruments on Medeli A1000 and I had been searching around the Internet, but found nothing. I would be very interested to get the Medeli AKX10 once I have saved enough money for it. Very impressive keyboard and workstation. Thank you for the video, Jeremy!

Medeli is really good, I have a Medeli SP400 which can be considered a "clone" of the Alesis Coda Pro, but no, is a really good digital piano. It has 88 fully weighted keys, it has front headphone jacks which I love, frontal usb, nice screen. And it's roughly $400-$499 USD not bad at all.

Ciao Jeremy complimenti per il video , chiedo la keyboard visualizza anche midi karaoke e mp3 karaoke ? non trovo nessun riscontro in altri video thank by by

Medeli AKX10 has "chord velocity" feature that I could not find on Tyros, Genos. With chord velocity, the style is played with soft or loud volume based on how hard one play chords with left hand. Pretty useful feature as it allows the style to be played with some dynamics, similar to touch response for right hand playing. This feature makes a lot of sense. Correction about: "Yamaha can certainly add this feature with a simple firmware upgrade BUT .... as usual, Yamaha holds it OFF for "next generation" keyboard forcing us to buy new models". YES, Yamaha keyboards also have this feature, I start using it from now on.

Very nice look, but what about the quality of the keybed ? And the sounds ? And the speakers ? I have the impression that Medeli have put a PSR-E463 in a PSR-SX body... So I'm not sure it's better than a PSR-S670...

Hi Jeremy, thanks for the great review. I am playing with the idea of getting an Arranger Keyboard and watched many of your videos on Arrangers. It is very helpful to get your unbiased opinion and I appreciate you always also pointing out the things you do not like about a specific device. No machine is perfect and there are always compromises to be made. I have a question: You present the AKX10 as a competitor to the SX900. But isn’t it a much more a competitor to the SX700? The price gap to the SX900 is huge, but the SX700 is not too far away. Speaking of the SX700: Would you recommend to pay the extra money (720€ vs 1160€ in Germany) to get the SX700 instead of the AKX10? I would be willing to pay that if the sounds and styles and maybe the quality of the keyed are significantly better. One thing that draws me towards the Yamaha is the access to many additional styles (free and commercial). I really like the AKX10 panel though. The three real time knobs with switchable assignments remind me of many workstations (Korg Nautilus, Krome, Kross,…) and are pretty useful I guess. Keep up the great work.

Well, most are already singing it's praises however I will withhold my opinion until Jeremy actually gets one, tests and reviews it. It may or may not do so well then. I also play accordion and am familiar with some Chinese ones. Lots of glitter however when you get under the hood, they sometimes don't glider as much. At this point. there are to many answered questions. Yamaha needs to upgrade the E series and fill in the gap between then E473 and the SX700 perhaps by fixing the aging S670.

If Medeli can provide more support, fix some minor software issues on the AKX10, provide "pro voices" pack, "style" pack, Medeli can compete hand on hand with Yamaha. Of course, as long as the price is low as it is now.

So we have only 3 types of vocal harmony and on sx 900 they are many rigth?

Two of the things that I like about the PSR-900SX are the way you can record sections of a song and then rearrange them, and the chord looper. Both seem to be absent on this?

We seems to have another Behringer lol. I just need a stop-gap keyboard until I can afford another analogue. I'm just currently stuck with a bunch of monos. Out of the cheaper medeli keyboards like the M17, MK100, or others please Jeremy, do you know if they're reasonable I've only heard KZread video so far? Really mostly after some half-decent piano sounds. And maybe some strings. They cloned Kurzweil and now Yamaha

I love the AKX10 sounds. I play a lot for church and funerals, etc. Could I hear some church music before I buy one.?

I swear the styles sound extremely similar, if not, identical to some styles I've heard in my Yamaha keyboard.

Hi Jeremy, Definitely looks like an SX but sounds more like an E series. 10:45 Are those birds are singing or something along with the acoustic guitar? Sounds that something is trying to emulate a super articulation voice with no success. Lot's of features indeed but the sounds, well... Just listen to your playing with an s670 and then check again the voices of the AKX10 and what you are hearing. More than descent sounds though, I agree to that. I hope Mendeli will send you a model for a review.

We are now 1 or 2 years later, I was able to play on the Medeli AKX10, but there are no other styles for sale or extra sounds...and that makes Yamaha, among others, so attractive, I don't see anything on their European website either , no updates and extra packs... finally I can report that Yamaha styles (with the .sty extension) don't work on the AKX10, it just doesn't read them. Have you tested all that? Jeremy??

I listened to the demos and I think it's just priced right for how it sounds. It sounds likes a toy to me. It's centuries away from the real deal, the Yamaha PSR-SX900.

Due to exchange rate in my country keyboards like yamaha, roland, korg are extremely expensive... But i would still rather save and have the real thing and not a clone. Would love to see the full review.

Maybe it’s the KZread compression but this doesn’t sound as good as the yamahas to me

Medeli will be more appealing when it implements audio ( .wav ) in styles and especially more flashram than yamama and why not, having a portable module will be the winning move !!!

Medeli Trolou a Yamaha e a Casio vai ter que correr pra atualizar o MZ-X ou lançar um concorrente a altura pois o AKX10 vai vir com preço baixo (Tomara Deus). Se for confirmado que terá memória para Samples adicionais sera o prego no caixão para os concorrentes a custo benefício. Li o Manual e pude ver muitos recursos interessantes. Botão Break pode gravar variação (Casio Mzx não aceita). Muitos bancos. OTS (Mzx não tem). Gostei também dos DSPs e parece que ele tem um eq por canal já do sistema. O que não vi no Manual foi editor de kit de bateria. Quem sabe eu faça um rewiew pelo Manual do instrumento. Pena não ter ele aqui kkkkk.
