The Yamaha PSR-E463 is the ideal portable keyboard for intermediate players ready to step up to the next level or for advanced players looking for a lightweight instrument to compose and perform. Great for playing various styles of music, from the latest to vinyl favorites, it offers an impressive set of easy-to-use features including assignable live-control knobs, pitch-bend wheel, Quick Sampling and Groove Creator functions, USB audio recorder and audio interface, MIDI song recorder, arpeggiator, and 12W speaker system—all sure to extend your musical horizons whether you’re performing at home or on the go.
The PSR-E463 features 61 touch-sensitive, full-size keys that sense hard and soft playing and match the dynamics of each key stroke to accurately capture every nuance of your playing style. You can enjoy a full range of instruments with 758 high-quality acoustic and synth sounds, including a high-resolution grand piano. The built-in 235 auto-accompaniment styles provide real-time band backing tracks based on the chords you play and in a variety of musical genres from around the world, such as pop, jazz, R&B, salsa, and more.
Quick Sampling lets you capture sounds using the aux input and play them back from the keyboard. With Groove Creator, you can lay down a beat, tweak the groove, adjust the mix and create music like a DJ. Choose from 150 arpeggio phrases with the press of a single key, and quickly capture your inspiration with the 6-track MIDI recorder or USB audio recorder.
The 6W+6W (when using the separately available PA-150 AC adapter) amplifiers power the high-definition 4.7″ Bass Reflex speakers, delivering electrifying, crystal-clear sound, and offering solid support in standalone performance situations. Plug in headphones for quiet play at any time. The 3.5mm aux input allows you to connect your phone/tablet or music player and play along with your favorite songs.
The PSR-E463’s USB Type-B port enables the keyboard to send MIDI and audio signals straight into your computer/DAW or smartphone. The instrument also allows you to play back audio files and record your performances in audio format.
The keyboard can be powered via six AA batteries or by a PA-150 AC adapter (power adapter and batteries available separately).
