Outstanding professional sound quality and styles at unprecedented
price points mark out new Yamaha keyboards
The PSR3000 is loaded with amazing voices. In fact, there are well over
seven hundred sounds including beautiful grand pianos, rich acoustic
instruments, sparkling synthesizers and a full set of Yamaha XG voices. You can
rest assured that XG and General MIDI sequences will sound their best when
played back on the PSR3000.Yamahas highly-acclaimed and exclusive
Sweet, Cool and Live voices, previously
only found on the award-winning TYROS, have been incorporated, resulting in
instrument sounds of breathtaking realism.

Incredible Music Styles
The PSR3000 contains a wealth of fully arranged music styles, including
specially designed Pianist Styles, to backup your musical performance. Yamaha
style makers around the world have been working very hard to create some
wonderful new styles for this release of the PSR3000. Each style has 3 Intros,
Main A/B/C/D variations, and 3 Endings, as well as four fill-in patterns for
added musical expression. You can change the instrument part settings of any
music style, or even create your own custom styles.

Simultaneous Style & Song Playback
Imagine being able to play a MIDI file and a Style at the same time. This
keyboard has separate controls for song and style playback. The style will
automatically sync to the MIDI file. Maybe youd like to try one of your
favorite songs with a different rhythm. If you are a writer, maybe youd like
to try your song with many different styles to see what it sounds like. If the
song has chord data in it (many XG files contain the chord data or you can
input it using the keyboard or software programs like XGworks), the style will
actually follow the chords in the MIDI file and play a complete instrumental
background. Its unique and different and just one of the cool new features of
this keyboard.

Large Full Dot Colour LCD with Song Lyric Display & Score display
Sing along with your favorite songs! The large Colour LCD featured on these
keyboards displays song lyric data from Karaoke disks in real-time for endless
singing enjoyment. This unique display also makes keyboard operation easier and
more convenient by displaying more information at once. On the PSR3000 you can
display the notation for your own recordings as well as commercially available
song data and have the notation automatically shown on the display in
whatever size or zoom level you want. You can choose the tracks you wish to
display, or let the keyboard automatically select the tracks. The Score display
will even show you the names of the notes, if you wish. This powerful feature
not only lets you view the entire score, it shows where you are in the piece
with the help of a moving cursor that follows along with playback.

Vocal Harmony
The PSR3000 has the same Vocal Harmony function as the Tyros. Hook a
microphone up to the PSR3000, sing into it, and you can sound like a choir. You
can assign the Vocal Harmony to create harmony from chords in your left hand,
notes you play with your right hand or from MIDI song files that contain
harmony information. You can even adjust the balance between your voice and
your "harmony" voices or turn off your voice altogether and
sing in perfect pitch! Pressing the "Mic Setting" button allows you
to adjust the 3-band sweepable EQ, Noise Gate and Compressor.
The vocal harmonizer in the PSR3000 can harmonize any sound it
"hears" so you could, for example, play a live trumpet or sax (or
violin, flute etc.) and have the 2100 re-create a complete horn section for
you. Think of the possibilities!
Music Finder
Keyboard operation has never been easier! Pressing the Music Finder button
calls up an on-screen selection of songs by title. Simply select one of your
favorite songs and the keyboard is instantly set up and ready to play. The
correct tempo, matching style and appropriate sound(s) for the melody are just
waiting for you to start playing. Take your music to new heights by inputting
your own Music Finder songs. You could put in your favorite music book so that
all you have to do is select the song and the keyboard is ready to play. This
is a great tool for professionals as well as home hobbyists.

16-Track Sequencer & Lyric Editor
Whether youre an enthusiastic beginner, a serious composer, or anything
in-between, the PSR3000s 16-track sequencer has the power to release your
musical talent. Arrange up to 16 different instrument parts to create your own
fully orchestrated songs. A variety of recording modes and editing functions
are available to suit your playing style. You can even see the notes displayed
on the large LCD screen (scoring ability).
Editing is easy and intuitive and offers cut, copy and paste features, just
like a computer! Once you enter the Song Creator mode, youll notice that we
have a new section that allows you to input lyric data into songs. Very cool.
Once you enter the lyrics, they scroll by as the song plays back you
just have to follow the bouncing ball.
Chord data from standard MIDI files can be imported into the style section
for further editing, which is perfect for songwriters and arrangers.
In addition to MIDI connections, the PSR1100 and 2100 feature a USB port
enabling effortless computer connection, opening up a whole new world of
educational and creative possibilities. Expand your musical possibilities by
connecting the keyboard to external MIDI devices or even to a personal
computer.

4 Main Sections of a style for ultimate hands-free operation.
