Play, Practice, Record, and Perform!

Getting your first real-deal keyboard? The Yamaha PSR-E423 is an awesome pick!! Sure, it has 700 sounds inside of it, so you could spend a whole weekend getting no sleep and just tinkering around with its awesome collection of sounds. Got to love that. But there's a whole lot more built into the PSR-E423 that makes it right for the recording musicians, the performing musician, and even the brand-new musician. Let's give you the dish. PSR-E423 scoop, coming right up.

Okay, so we already told you that the PSR-E423 has 700 sounds inside it. Sort of insane, right? And you can use split and dual voice modes to really get creative with what sounds you get when you play with your right or left hand. Whatever sounds you play, the PSR-E423's built-in speaker system makes things sound awesome, and you won't have to plug in any extra gear or whatever just to hear your piano... and that's important. Keep in mind, though, there's also a headphone jack so you can rock out on the private side, yeah!

When you're jamming with your PSR-E423, you're only ever one button away from a grand piano sound. So if you go in a crazy direction with your sonic adventures, all it takes it one button to snap back to reality and play Fur Elise or whatever. Since the PSR-E423 has 61 keys, you have plenty of octaves to play and practice on. Speaking of playing and practice... when you come up with a genius moment or you want to hear how your practice is coming along, you can use the PSR-E423's onboard 6-track sequencer to record right then and there - no other equipment necessary. But here's where the fun starts: the PSR-E423 has USB!!

USB! USB! USB! At this price and with this set of features, the PSR-E423's USB connectivity is total icing on an already-awesome cake. Like, your favorite cake. What that means, is that you can connect your PSR-E423 to your Mac or PC and play/perform using virtual instruments you have on your computer. That's a super-easy way to get into recording or using music notation software. That's a BIG reason schools and students love the PSR-E423. Really, it has everything you need to practice, record, and perform your ideas. Then, factor in the included Yamaha Education Suite - built-in lessons - and you've got a total all-star with the Yamaha PSR-E423. This is a major steal.
