The white Yamaha EZ-300 is a portable keyboard packed with fun tools that make learning to play exceptionally EZ for beginners. It features keys that light up to show which note to press next, allowing you to build confidence by playing along with built-in songs and lessons. You can also use the Keys to Success system to practice and learn songs at your own pace, even if you don’t know how to read music.
The EZ-300 is equipped with 61 full-size keys with touch sensitivity that adds musical expressivity to your melodies, sensing hard and soft playing and matching the dynamics of each key stroke. It offers 622 high-quality instrument sounds including strings, guitars, brass, saxophones, and drums—some with Super Articulation Lite technology to reproduce the unique nuances heard when playing acoustic instruments. A dedicated button lets you quickly switch to a rich Grand Piano sound. A host of DSP effects let you sweeten your sound with reverb, chorusing, and more.
There are 205 auto-accompaniment styles with a backing band capable of playing in a wide variety of musical genres such as pop, rock, jazz, dance, Latin, and world music to name a few. Smart Chord technology allows you to play complex chord voicings with just one finger, while the Arpeggio function further expands the keyboard’s versatility. Jam with the band and use the 2-track song recorder to capture your performance and play it back later.
The Keys to Success mode includes learning techniques to help you learn how to play the 202 built-in songs—each with its own digital score. You can select just the key phrases of the song and practice them one by one. The three-part lesson functions make learning easier by breaking performances down into left- and right-hand parts and then putting them together. Chord progression lessons are onboard, while the Touch Tutor lesson mode tracks how hard you hit the keys, reinforcing proper dynamics technique. Duo Mode can be engaged to split the keyboard in half, a smart and practical way to play with a partner or for one person to teach another how to play.
A built-in speaker system delivers a clear sound, while the headphone output provides for private practice or playing. The 3.5mm aux input lets you connect your phone/tablet or music player and play along with your favorite songs. You can also use the Melody-Suppressor function to practice the melody part along with the audio playback.
The EZ-300 USB to Host port enables you to send USB MIDI and USB audio signals straight into your computer/DAW or smartphone for recording your music and performances.
Compact and lightweight, the EZ-300 is incredibly portable. It runs up to 5 hours on 6 AA batteries or can be powered from a PA-130 AC adapter (batteries and adapter available separately).
