Yamaha PSR-E473

The Yamaha PSR-EW473 features 61 keys whose touch response can be adjusted from "soft" to "hard", and the velocity sensitivity can also be deactivated entirely by selecting the "fixed" option. The buttons adjacent to the display can be used to select the desired voice, practice song, and accompaniment style, and the user can also directly recall one of the 820 voices using the number keys rather than manually searching. These voices include acoustic and electric pianos, organs, string and wind instruments, guitars and basses, synth sounds, percussion, and even sound effects. It is also possible to layer two sounds on the keyboard thanks to the "Dual Voice" function, and the keyboard can be configured to allow each hand to play a different voice. The sound of the voices can be further enhanced with the Yamaha PSR-E473's DSP and motion effects, the latter of which include various filter, pitch, and modulation effects.

For decades, Yamaha has been one of the world’s best-known manufacturers of musical instruments and audio technology. The Japanese company’s long history began at the end of the 19th century with the harmonium. The product range has constantly expanded since then, which has made Yamaha one of the few manufacturers today to offer almost the entire range of existing musical instruments: From upright and grand pianos to guitars, wind instruments, and bowed string instruments and from drums and percussion to electronic keyboards and synthesizers. Yamaha is also a major force in the field of audio engineering as a manufacturer of mixing consoles, amplifiers, PA systems, and more. Yamaha's guiding principle is to combine traditional craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology.
