Description:
The Yamaha PSR-E423 portable keyboard offers several innovative features. This includes the basic features for learning to play, such as the Yamaha portable grand button (which instantly resets the keyboard to the finest onboard piano settings) and the Yamaha Education Suite buttons (which include built-in songs and 7 levels of lessons). In addition, the Yamaha PSR-E423 has features for when it's time to perform, such as synthesizer control knobs for realtime control of the filter, effects, sound envelope, and style tempo. The Yamaha keyboard's arpeggiator provides 150 different patterns and 40 arpeggio voices. Along with its black body, these easy-to-use, professional features set this 61-note keyboard apart from others in its class.
Features:
Control knobs, arpeggiator, and pitch bend:
- Most of the features of the Yamaha PSR-E423 have been enhanced over its
predecessor. 2 control knobs provide realtime control for filtering the main
melody tone and changing the tempo of the arpeggio, just like an analog
synthesizer. The Yamaha keyboard's pitch bend wheel brings voices like the
sax and trumpet to life.
Improved arpeggio function:
- Tap into instant inspiration with the arpeggio function, which has been
improved for smoother playability. The Yamaha keyboard's hold mode and
allocated key-range will free you up to play with both hands. It provides an
expanded 150 patterns that automatically generate even more useful phrases
that change depending on the notes and chords you play.
A variety of new dynamic voices:
- Dynamic voices usually found on high-end workstations are now on the
PSR-E423 61-note keyboard. There are 2 different waveforms that change
depending on how hard you play the keyboard, allowing for more expression on
voices, such as an overdriven or nylon guitar. High-quality voices, from
acoustic instruments to electric sounds, have been expanded to 700
varieties. All of these voices sound even better through the bass-enhanced,
2-way speakers.
Wider world content and 174 varieties of styles with auto-backing mode:
- Arabic, Indian, and Chinese content has been added to styles, rhythms,
and voices. With these styles and voices, you'll sound like you've got a
professional backing band behind you.
Extended flash memory and connectivity to PC with USB:
- 4 times more flash memory has been added to the Yamaha PSR-E423 keyboard
so you can play along with your favorites transferred from a PC.
