### 5/5 — 雅马哈电吹管评价。

*2025-07-16*

出现故障时联系维修人员非常满意的解决了问题。  感谢🙏

### 3/5 — Traduction en français

*2025-06-11, version 2.2.1*

Je trouve dommage que l’application ne soit pas en français… ce serait vraiment bien de penser à traduire l’application en français pour mieux comprendre

### 5/5 — YDS150 非常喜欢

*2025-04-25*

非常好用要是能用蓝牙升级固件就好了。

### 5/5 — 问

*2025-02-01*

我怎么打不开它啊

### 5/5 — ^_^评价

### 5/5 — 雅马哈

*2024-11-30*

好乐器

### 5/5 — バスサックス作って遊んでる

*2024-11-07, version 2.2.1*

バリサクの−21から−33にしたらちょうどオクターブ下になる
楽しい

### 3/5 — Essential but needs updating

*2024-11-04*

It is a must but there is little documentation. There needs a way to reorient the motion sensors for playing like an alto using a bent neck. Needs motion curves and range adjustment.

### 5/5 — Yds-150

*2024-08-19, version 2.1.0*

Tôi rất yêu cây kèn này và phần mềm của các bạn đã giúp tôi thuận lợi rất nhiều cảm ơn các bạn!😍

### 5/5 — 高音1音有延迟

*2024-07-30*

我新买的150弯管，吹到7 高音1时经常出现高音1延迟出来！不知道是什么原因导致！是我问题还是管子设置问题啊

### 5/5 — 令人陶醉的雅马哈

*2024-07-08*

使用多个品牌才知道这是最棒的

### 3/5 — 发现一些自定义指法按键设置上问题，希望每个音都至少能够支持设置2到3个不同的指法，目前有些音可以设置5到六种按法，而有些音却只能用一种按法，这很不合理和公平。

*2024-06-08*

建议升级一下程序，对于真正意义上的自定义指法非常需要。

### 2/5 — Presets don't save!!

*2024-05-23*

The app utility is very spotty when connected to the YDS120. Presets don't save and the user bank is not functional. The app manual is sparse and overall needs a major update

### 1/5 — 認識しない

*2026-02-16, version 2.2.1*

iPhone16-YDS120でUSB C - USB A ケーブル - 変換アダプタで接続するもYDS側は黄色ランプ点灯して認識するのにアプリ側が「デバイスが見つかりません」のまま。どうしようもない。

### 1/5 — No English

*2026-02-12, version 2.2.1*

Why my app is only in Chinese ?????? are yous stupid...

### 1/5 — Loads only in Japanese

*2025-08-31*

The app loads in the language of origin. The app does not provide for or ask language of choice. For me, this makes the app unusable.

### 1/5 — YDS

*2025-08-15, version 2.2.1*

Bad aplication

### 1/5 — Brando

*2025-05-30, version 2.2.1*

Pesima application

### 1/5 — YDS-120：USBでiPhoneと繋がらない💢

*2024-08-24, version 2.1.0*

iPhone11  iOSバージョン17.6.1 とYDS-120間で

iPhone→ iPhoneライトニング〜USB-A（オス）→
USB-A（メス）〜USB-B → YDS-120 

のケーブル接続を実施したがアプリ上でYDS-120が認識されず使用不可。
YDS-120上のUSBランプも点灯せず。

ケーブル自体は他のシステムで使用可能。ケーブルやコネクタ側の結線には問題なし。

YDS-120でこの接続が使えないのでお手上げです。このケーブルを使えば繋がる、とか、このiOSバージョンは繋がらない、とか、何か情報はありませんか？ 本気で困っています。

### 1/5 — Won’t let me save presets

*2024-05-18*

It used to…what happened?

### 1/5 — Can’t connect

*2023-12-27*

Bought the appropriate cables to make it connect to an iPhone…. Does not work. Needs Bluetooth. Maybe the app is good, wouldn’t know.

### 1/5 — Sugerencia

*2023-08-02, version 2.0.1*

PODRÍAN AÑADIR SONIDOS DE OTROS INSTRUMENTOS DE VIENTO: trompeta, trombón, etc

Cualquier órgano Yamaha dispone de más instrumentos de viento que el YDS. 

SE PODRÍA HACER CON UNA ACTUALIZACIÓN DE LA APP???

### 1/5 — MIDI Output Breath Control is broken in 1.10

*2023-04-26, version 2.0*

If you use any MIDI app that shows the numeric values of the parameters being received (on an iPad) you will see that when Follow Breath is used for Velocity, the values are all over the place even for a constantly pulsating tone. Produce the same note with the same intensity (tah tah tah tah…) and see what Velocity you get - it jumps from 32 to 60 and 120 and back down again for no variation of breath speed or strength. What is even worse:  You can't blow gently and slowly increase the breath force and hear the note increase in volume. No, you lose all that expressiveness in MIDI mode compared to the built-in voices played in the instrument.
