PROFESSIONAL SOUND AND ELEGANT DESIGN DEFINE THE LATEST P-SERIES PIANOS

Yamaha has set the tone for digital and electronic pianos for over 20 years, and the Yamaha P-Series has practically defined the professional market. Now the new ultra compact Yamaha P120 – equipped with a stunningly realistic piano sound, 88-keys, weighted-action and built-in speaker system – is equally at home on a professional stage, in an educational or worship setting, or as an elegant addition to a contemporary living room.

  • 64 notes of polyphony
  • Stereo sampled pianos, electric pianos, strings, harpsichord, organ, and more
  • Acoustic piano action emulation via a Graded Hammer (GH) effect
  • Chorus, delay, tremolo, and Yamaha's acclaimed reverb
  • Two-track sequencer with fully adjustable tempo lets users record their performances, then play along or overdub a second voice
  • PC MIDI interface allows the P120 to connect directly to a Macintosh® or PC computer with a serial port or other MIDI port expansion products

PUNCH LIKE A HEAVYWEIGHT

Portable PA systems often lack the punchy, chest-thumping low-end delivered by club installs and concert rigs. Adding subs, crossovers, and more amplifiers in order to get it has been a somewhat pricey proposition... until now! Yamaha's new SW500 powered subwoofer provides the ultimate, compact solution. Its long-throw, cast-frame 15" driver, 500-watt amp, and flexible back-panel I/O combine to generate exceptional bass performance.

THE SHORTEST DISTANCE BETWEEN INSPIRATION AND CREATION

Both Motif and the RS7000 feature an Integrated Sampling Sequencer™ (ISS) to seamlessly integrate MIDI and audio sampling.

At Yamaha, we believe that making music shouldn't be work. So we designed the RS7000 and Motif Series keyboards with two goals in mind — inspiration and creation.

First, they were designed to inspire. Their sounds were hand-tailored by top sound design professionals from around the world. So, whether it's an exacting replica of an acoustic piano for a Hollywood film score or a cutting edge sound from the clubs of London, these sounds were made by people with a passion for sonic perfection.

Next, we know that moments of inspiration need to be captured immediately. So all the tools for a complete music production are right at your fingertips. The features of the Integrated Sampling Sequencer, the hands-on user interface, and the built-in rhythm patterns, arpeggios and mixing templates were all focused on one goal — letting you create your music the way you want with the fewest technical obstacles.

If you want to be on the leading edge of music production, check out these websites for more info and then check out Motif and RS7000 at a Yamaha dealer near you. 'Cause no matter how much money you make from making music, it shouldn't be work.

Song files may be downloaded from the Internet onto a 3.5-in. disk in a computer, then transferred to the PSR550 and played. MIDI song files may also be purchased from a local music store or from selected Internet sites. The back-lit display will display songs on the disk by name; to play the song, simply push the "Start" button, and the PSR550 becomes a stereo sound system. Friends and family can send personalized song files to each other, even as email attachments.

As technology advances, products can become more difficult to use. The PSR550 reverses that trend with the innovative "EZ Navigator" feature and large, back-lit, multi-color LCD display. This function actually tells the user which buttons to push next, based on what he or she is trying to accomplish.
