Yamaha PSR-E463

YAMAHA PSR - E463

Packed with Great Sounds and Value!

The Yamaha’s PSR-E463 makes a perfect first keyboard for students, a solid educational tool for classrooms, and a fun, lightweight travel instrument and compositional tool for professionals. Each of the E463’s 61 full-sized, organ-style keys provides good resistance with a quick response that’s suited for playing dynamic string pads to quick brass lines and synth leads. And speaking of instruments: the E463 comes loaded with 758 rich stereo voices, which means students and recording artists will never be short on inspiration. And for purists, a one-touch Live Grand Piano function bypasses all advanced features to provide a lush, distraction-free grand piano sound with 48-note polyphony. Its intelligent backing tracks, a USB port for thumb drives and MIDI connectivity, and the included 9-lesson Yamaha Education Suite round out the PSR-E463’s value-packed features.

What’s new in the PSR-E463

The value-packed PSR series has been very popular at Sweetwater, and Yamaha keeps upping the ante. PSR-E463 offers significant improvements compared to its predecessor. The highly playable Groove Creator function lets you add intros, section changes, and musical climaxes to Grooves, similarly to the way electronic dance music is controlled by a DJ. Yamaha has increased the number of Groove Patterns to 35, including ten new ones. A new Quick Sampling feature lets you quickly capture audio samples to internal memory or USB and play them on the keys. Tweak the new assignable Live Control Knobs for synth-type sound adjustments on the fly. The PSR-E463 also includes larger collections of instrument Voices and more onboard backing Styles, giving you more options for your backing tracks, plus added storage for optional Expansion Styles. And put the finishing touches on your creations with ten DSP effects, plus 12 reverb, 5 chorus, 6 master EQ, and 26 harmony effects.
