Yamaha PSR-E313 61 Key Digital Keyboard with USB Port
Backlit LCD, Touch Sensitive Keyboard & Great Sound at a Breakthrough Price
Expressive Touch like a piano
If you're buying a keyboard having piano in mind, you'll want Yamaha's Touch Response feature. On an acoustic piano, striking a key
harder will produce a louder sound, striking it softer will produce a softer sound. With Yamaha's "Touch Response" the PSR-E313 keyboard
responds like an acoustic piano.
Computer Connectivity: Flash ROM
 
The PSR-E313 comes with 102 built-in songs and an interactive lesson system, divided into left and right hand parts, for learning them. In
addition, you have the ability to connect to a computer, download more songs from the Internet into the internal Flash ROM, and use all of the
Yamaha Education Suite V5 features to help you learn to play them. Yamaha makes it easy to get connected with the new PC button. Now,
instead of wading through function menus and fighting through a maze of selections, one button is your expressway to music on the web and your
computer. You can connect to the MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) port on the back with an optional USB-MIDI Interface like the
Yamaha UX16. Once connected, you can play your songs into the computer, edit them if necessary, and e-mail them to your friends and family. And
with General MIDI (GM) and XGlite compatibility, song data always plays back with the correct sounds.
32-note Polyphony
In electronic keyboards, the more sounds made at the same time - polyphony - the more memory is needed. Obviously, more is always better, because
too little polyphony can cause dropouts in dense passages of music. Some keyboards at this price point have only 12-note polyphony. The PSR-E313
has 32 notes of polyphony and will play back 16 different parts or sounds at once (16-part multi timbrel); enough for the most demanding
needs.
Yamaha Education Suite™: Learning to play songs and chords
The PSR-E313 has 102 built-in songs for you to learn to play, using the Yamaha Education Suite. The songs are separated into left and right
hand parts, providing 7 levels of lessons plus a convenient chord dictionary.
-
Three keyboard lessons for each hand
Timing mode: You can play the melody or chord by pressing any key using the correct timing.
Waiting mode: Playback pauses until you find and play the correct chord or melody note.
Minus One mode: Mute the left-hand, right-hand, or both parts of a song and play along nonstop.
-
Lesson Grading – monitors your progress as you practice each lesson.
-
Chord Dictionary – shows you how to play chords and tells you which chords you are playing by displaying the notes and chord
name on the LCD screen
106 Accompaniment styles and the One Touch Setting
The PSR-E313 comes with 106 built-in styles, waiting for you to play along with. It's just like having a built-in band. Call up your
favorite style of music like Rock, Big Band or Country, press a chord or play Single Finger mode, and the PSR-E313 will follow you
through a piece of music, providing all of the drums, bass, piano, guitar, horn and string parts for you. And to make it easy and fun,
when you select one of the styles, the One Touch Setting function will automatically configure keyboard parameters, such as voice
selection and digital effects, to match that selected music style.
Portable Grand™
You're never more than a button push away from the most realistic piano sound in portable keyboards today. One press of the Portable Grand
button resets the entire keyboard to a stereo-sampled piano – perfect for when it's time to practice. Yamaha is known around the world for the
quality of our acoustic pianos and this attention to detail is evident as you enjoy the warmth and clarity of the PSR-E313 Portable Grand
piano. And of course, the keyboard includes a Sustain Pedal jack on the back for practicing and playing piano pieces.
General MIDI and Yamaha XGlite makes for great sound
The PSR-E313 has a large selection of professional sounding voices called XGlite. Only Yamaha's best keyboards have the capacity to support
and reproduce Yamaha's XGlite voices. The result is amazing sound quality and almost 500 voices for you to choose from, offering even
greater compatibility with both 3rd party and Yamaha XG software. For a look at some of the GM/XG music titles available from Yamaha, follow

9 Digital reverb plus 4 chorus effects
Yamaha has long been a world leader in digital signal processing technology. In fact, Yamaha professional audio products are found in
most professional recording studios around the world. The PSR-E313 takes full advantage of this know-how, giving you an extensive range of nine,
top-quality reverb effects that simulate playing in everything from a small room to a large spacious concert hall and four chorus effects that
add richness to electric pianos and guitars in particular.
 Buy it with or without the Survival kit.
