The Yamaha PSR-E353 Home Keyboard is a portable keyboard containing 61 velocity sensitive keys, with over 530 on-board tones, 158 rhythms, 154 songs, and an onboard arpeggiator with digital effects. The touch-sensitive keyboard allows for piano-like control of volume and dynamics so play the keys firmly to increase the volume of the sound or softly to decrease it.
The PSR-E353 comes with an array of 573 different voices including pianos, strings, guitars and synths. The grand piano voices utilise stereo-sampled sounds with a high degree of presence.
A nine-step lessonfunction (Yamaha Education Suite) helps beginners learn to play; three for the left hand, three for the right hand, and three for both hands, helping new players to practise the songs stored in the instrument. There's a scoring function that makes it fun to develop your skills and a "waiting" function that adjusts the tempo to suit the person playing, pausing the backing track until the correct note is played.
Connect an audio player to the PSR-E353 to enjoy your music through the instrument speakers and to play along. The "Melody Suppressor" function lowers the volume of the melody, allowing you to play the lead line of your favourite tracks.
The PSR-E353 is equipped with a preset Master EQ system that allows you to adjust the overall keyboard sound with settings such as Bright and Boost, making it easier to get exactly the sound you need.
Connect to your iPad/iPhone and expand your keyboard with software and apps. Use the wheel or XY controller of this application to control effects such as pitch bending and reverb from your iPhone/iPod touch.
The built-in Music Database with 100 different settings make it easy to access voices and backings matching the musical style you want, allowing you to play many different types of music quickly and easily.
