Yamaha PSR-E243 Portable Keyboard

Yamaha has just started shipping their new PSR-E243, 61-key portable keyboard. Normally this would not be big news, but when you consider its feature set and price, it makes the headlines. So, let's take a look.

The PSRE243 has features that the previous model, PSR-233, did not have, specifically touch sensitivity and iPad/iPhone connectivity. That's a BIG deal. With a touch sensitive keyboard, the instrument respond like a real piano; i.e. when you play softly, it responds to your touch.

New! Yamaha YDP-162B Digital Piano

Yamaha recently announced the release of their latest digital piano, the YDP-162B. It replaces the current model, YDP-161.

The YDP-161 is suitable for advanced players as well as beginners, and features Yamaha's Graded Hammer action with Synthetic Ivory Keytops. The action is weighted to match the resistance of hammers in a grand piano. And now Synthetic Ivory Keytops give that porous, tactile feel you would only expect from an acoustic piano manufacturer like Yamaha. Its surface absorbs finger moisture allowing serious players to comfortably play for longer periods of time.

The YDP-161 has the new PureCF Sound Engine, which features the meticulous recording of Yamaha's acclaimed concert grand piano. This recording contains a number of dynamic levels from pianissimo to fortissimo, so you can experience the delicate touch of a soft passage or the pure power of two-handed chords.

Yamaha P-105 New Features

The new Yamaha P105 digital piano, which was recently introduced, has several features that are new to the Yamaha P Series digital pianos.

The first and probably most important new feature, is a new sound source called Pure CF sound engine. A first for the P-series digitals. The piano sound was recorded from Yamaha's renowned CFIIIS concert grand piano, which is heard on stages all over the world.

Secondly, Yamaha has added Pianist Styles that turn simple chords into exciting accompaniments. Just play a chord and the Pianist Style gives you a full piano accompaniment. No need to make your hands dance between chords anymore! 10 built-in Styles offer a variety of backings to fit your performance and help you sound great!

Yamaha has always had rhythms on its portable keyboards and Clavinova CVP pianos, but they've never appeared on the P Series - until now. Ten basic drum patterns put the "fun" back into practicing and are a practical alternative to a metronome. You can also turn your solo act into a two-piece band where the drummer is always on time, doesn't miss a beat, rush or drag!.

And finally, Yamaha has added back the AUX LINE OUT jacks (that were removed from the most recent model). They allow you to connect to a computer sound card, mixing console or powered speakers - great for recording or performing live. Since it's a true line-output, the built-in speakers remain on for monitoring as opposed to switching OFF when using the more common headphone output. The P-105 also has USB TO HOST to connect directly to your computer for use with various education, notation and music production applications.

These newly added features to the P-105 make it an important upgrade from the previous P-Series models, and at $599.99, it's a real deal. If you've been waiting to get the most "bang" for your buck, we think the P105 is it. There are two modes available, P105 black and P105 white. You can add an optional matching stand and 3-pedal unit to make your package complete.

Yamaha P155 Digital Piano

The Yamaha P155 is part of a long heritage of excellent electric pianos dating back to the early 1980's. In the 70's we had the CP models (CP30 and CP70), that were later followed by the PF analog pianos. All of these models were well received by players, and some - believe it or not - are still around. We see them in our repair shop from time to time getting broken keys replaced.


The Yamaha P155 digital piano is geared toward the gigging musician who requires quality piano touch and tone. It is also ideal for home use or as a practice piano. It comes in three different finishes - wood grain, black and silver - and features include quality sound and a Graded Hammer Effect key action capable of building proper finger technique, and a Yamaha Three Year Warranty.


The natural-sounding four-layer piano sample is a breakthrough at this price range. Depending on how hard a note is struck, one of four recordings will play, offering an unprecedented level of dynamic range and tonal expression for a digital piano. A new Damper Resonance effect emulates the real harmonic overtones of each individual note, taking acoustic realism to the next level.


Because it takes up so little space, the P155 is ideal for customers who live in apartments. When it's time to turn up the volume, the P155 relies on built-in speakers powered by a high-efficiency stereo amplifier, but it can also be connected to an external amplifier through 1/4-in. line-level outputs with variable volume control. If volume is an issue, just plug in headphones.

The Yamaha Arius YDP181 88-key weighted digital piano first shipped in the summer of 2010. It is the replacement for the best selling YDP223, which began shipping in November 2002. An eight year lifespan for a digital piano in this day and age is incredible!

As the replacement for the Yamaha YDP223, the YDP181 has some big shoes to fill, but based on its specifications and sales, it is doing an admiral job.One of the most noticeable differences is the sound. The YDP181 features High Resolution piano samples with damper resonance and 128 note polyphony (the YDP223 had 64). Other new features include a 2-track, 3 song sequencer and USB TO DEVICE port for storing your data.

With the Graded Hammer Effect keyboard, lower notes on the keyboard have a heavier touch, just as on a traditional acoustic piano, while the higher ones are more responsive to lighter playing. The GH keyboard features an extra key sensor capable of reproducing fast repetitive playing of a single note with perfect articulation, and the matte finish of the black keys enhances the keyboard's luxurious appearance.

If you've been wanting a digital piano, but can't make up your mind, take a look at the Yamaha YDP181. It has a long heritage and has proven it's up to the task.

Yamaha PSR-S910 Arranger Workstation

The new Yamaha PSR-S910 Arranger Workstation is one of the hardest working keyboards in show business.

The PSRS910 features an expanded sound set including Super Articulation voices and many voices taken from the Tyros keyboard. Together with fresh new styles and convenient new features, the PSR-S910 offers a huge range of creative potential for any musician - and a new level of sonic realism.

Never before have string, wind and brass instruments, played live with a keyboard, sounded so convincing or so real!  These remarkably authentic voices on the S910 feature the unique performance characteristics of each instrument, the expressive finger-slides on the guitar, or the breathy, legato phrasing of a saxophone. It's a completely new level of sonic realism and musical expressiveness.

The MegaVoices on the PSRS910 feature multiple samples with sophisticated velocity switching - for incredibly authentic instrument sounds. The voices contain not only the basic samples of the instrument but also the performance techniques used with it. On a guitar for instance, players will hear open and mute string sounds, dead notes, hammering effects, slide effects, harmonics and a wide range of strum and body noises. In technical terms, MegaVoice duplicates an instrument's behaviour. In sonic terms, this gives the keyboard stunningly realistic sounds.

The Quick, Easy Way to Learn How to Play!

Have you ever wanted to learn to play music without the hassles of traditional lessons and their steep learning curve? Or have you ever dreamed of breezing through a hit song, or romancing that special someone with a classic ballad?

If so, check out the new Quick Play Lesson Program at Andy's Music: Yamaha Quick Play

Yamaha Tyros 4 Voices

The Yamaha Tyros4 has an expanded and enhanced set of exceptionally authentic Voices, and gives you the means to play these Voices more naturally and with greater expressiveness. In particular, the Tyros has many new Super Articulation Choir Voices, with amazingly realistic and natural human voice sounds—giving you even more expressive capability.

You’ll hear something different as soon as you play Tyros 4’s classical choir Voices: the sound is incredibly natural thanks to Ambient Sampling. For sampling, microphones are normally positioned close to the instrument to capture a direct sound which includes very little of the rooms ambience. For Tyros4’s new classical choirs, the microphone positions were carefully adjusted to capture not only the sound of the choir but also the ambience of the room, resulting in unprecedented clarity and realism of sound.

Together with technologies such as Super Articulation, Tyros 4’s pop vocals use Yamaha’s latest voicing technology, Wave Cycling, to bring hugely versatile vocal creativity to your performances. Tyros4 is packed with different vocal articulations such as Aah, Bah, Bee, Doh etc., and Wave Cycling varies the articulation of the Voice as you play. This means that you can now play incredibly realistic “shoo-bee-doo-bah” and scat vocals with remarkable ease!

Tyros 4's acoustic grand piano is based on the world famous Yamaha CFIIIs Concert Grand. Multi sampling has been used to provide natural expressive tonal changes with velocity, and a new touch curve makes it incredibly easy to hit the sweet spots of the piano voice. Super Articulation adds damper pedal sustain samples and key-off sounds.

For additional information about the Tyros4,  and other Yamaha keyboards and Yamaha guitars, visit www.AndysMusicOnline.com, or call Andy's Music at 251-633-8944.

The Styles of the Tyros4 have been vastly enhanced with the expert use of new Super Articulation and Super Articulation 2 Voices. Greater and more expressive variations in the MegaVoices have been employed as well, particularly in the Scat and Gospel Voices.

The CP5 digital piano has all the features for the pro player, combining Yamaha's core Spectral Component Modeling technology plus a wide range of sounds and functions.


By combining audio playback with a MIC INPUT jack and wide variations of effects, the Yamaha CP5 is the ideal tool for vocal keyboardist to sing and play live. In addition, the CP5 features not only Virtual Circuit Modcpcpeling effects, but also many more effects taken from the Motif XS line of synthesizers, and the CP5 has the same NW-STAGE wooden action keyboard as the CP1.

New Yamaha Motif XF Synthesizers

The new Yamaha Motif XF synthesizers - Motif XF8, XF7, and XF6 - are the fourth generation of Yamaha Motif synths. They are the latest in a long line of digital keyboards from Yamaha that began with the innovative DX7 in 1983.

This new generation of Yamaha Motif synthesizer workstations includes flash expandability and seamless music production workflow. Up to 2GB of additional content is available through flash memory expansion modules, and the integration between the MOTIF XF and Steinberg’s Cubase 5 series is truly seamless.

Using the Yamaha MOTIF XF Editor, you can make subtle Voice edits from your computer while checking them visually. Because the communication between the MOTIF XF and the editor is bi-directional - whether you’re moving the knobs on the MOTIF or changing parameters with the mouse in the editor - the parameters are perfectly matched. There is even a VST3 editor for use in Cubase 5 (including AI) which lets you use your MOTIF as a VST soft synth. 

Important features of the new MOTIF XF include:

* Comprehensive high sound quality, including an enormous 741MB of waveforms
* An additional 128 Voices and 8 drum kits, for a total of 1,353 high-quality Voices
* Up to 2GB of additional content available through separately sold flash memory
* Realization of unique instrument performance methods through the XA (Expanded Articulation) tone generation system
* Reproduction of the unique, natural, warm sounds of vintage instruments through VCM effects
* 384 types of performances based on approximately 7800 types of arpeggiators
* Enhanced sampling through 128MB of onboard SD-RAM
* The popular FSX (MOTIF XF6/7) and BH (MOTIF XF8) keyboards
* Improvement of usability thanks to the use of a new GUI
* Category Search feature that provides instant access to the Voices you want
* Cubase AI -- a DAW software application from Steinberg
* DAW integration through remote control, an editor software
* Scalability through standard-equipped USB and Ethernet and the FW16E option
