ANAHEIM, Calif.- Yamaha today launched the PSR-E233 portable keyboard at Winter NAMM 2011. Geared towards first-time keyboard buyers, the PSR-E233 is ideally suited for beginner musicians learning to play for the first time. The PSR-E233 offers built-in speakers featuring the Ultra-Wide Stereo DSP button which creates greater separation and a more spacious sound. Only a company like Yamaha - which pioneered sound projector technology in home theater - could add such sophisticated functionality to an entry-level keyboard. `Entry-level keyboard customers are used to seeing 61 black and white keys with a panel of buttons and a display,` says Dane Madsen, Yamaha Electronic Keyboard Marketing Manager. `Its the new Ultra-Wide Stereo DSP button that makes the new PSR-E Series stand out from the crowd. It creates the same 3D sense of space youd experience with an elite surround sound system - at an incredibly affordable price.` Additional features include the Yamaha Education SuiteŻbuilt-in lessons that let users teach themselves to play, a new power-saving mode and 61 full-sized keys. These highly affordable models also let users play along with a band using any of the 100-plus built-in accompaniment Styles, or use the dedicated Portable Grand button to instantly call-up a great sounding grand piano. Connected to a computer the PSR-E233 via optional MIDI interfaceis an excellent XG-lite sound source for use with a variety of music software. `The new PSR-E233 is great instrument for introducing or re-introducing players to making music. Playing along with the built-in Styles is a fun way to develop a good sense of time and rhythm without the strict feeling of a metronome. It`s also an excellent ‘band' that will always follow you whenever inspiration strikes,` added Madsen. The PSR-E233 will be available May - June 2011
