The Yamaha PSRK1 is new from the ground up with innovations never before available in this price point and some never before available at any price point. Start with the new, bitmap graphic display that, in addition to the standard information, displays both the score and lyrics during song playback. USB replaces the standard MIDI jacks and makes connecting to a computer a breeze. The all-new “Performance Assistant” function allows you to play along with the song. You can’t play a wrong note. Save your music to the smart media card, another first at this price point. And, for the singers among you, sing through the included, handheld microphone. There’s something for everyone and every member of the family in the PSRK1.

• New USB/MIDI for fast computer connection
• New 8MB Smart Card included
• New 320X240 Bit Mapped Graphic Display with Score and Lyrics
• New Performance Assistant Technology (Now anyone can play)
  
• New EZ Arranger creates a completely new arrangement with one button

The new EZ250i marks a new direction in Yamaha Portable Keyboards. Portables with MIDI connectors and General MIDI compatibility have always been a natural fit for computers and the Internet. The EZ250i brings that relationship even closer with the addition of a USB connector and associated software. The EZ250i, with its lighted keys and educational functions and features, is the first Yamaha portable to be bundled with Konami’s Keyboard Mania software. Making playing the keyboard fast, fun, and easy is what this combination is all about. Kids relate to the gaming and parents relate to the learning.

Up until now you only had two choices when trying to put together a computer based recording studio. One choice was to buy all the different components needed to make up your computer studio from different manufacturers. Then, you had to try to configure them into a viable system and hope they would work well together. The other was to buy a proprietary system that had most of the necessary studio components in one package, but only worked with that company’s proprietary software and hardware protocols. One choice left you wondering about how to integrate all these different products together and who would support you if you had a problem. The other left you wondering whatever happened to freedom of choice.

The 01X solves these challenges in an elegant fashion. It combines all the things you need for a fully functional computer-recording studio in one integrated design. Combining a 28-channel moving fader digital mixer, mic preamps, 24-bit/96kHz analog to digital convertors, a multi-channel 24-bit/96kHz mLAN Firewire digital audio interface, a multi-port mLAN Firewire MIDI interface and a DAW control surface that supports all of the major software platforms, the 01X is destined to cause a revolution in the computer music studio.

• Up to 8 channels of Mic Preamps with flexible gain staging (Two XLR inputs with Phantom Power, Six Mic/Line switchable 1/4" TRS inputs, One Hi-Z guitar input)
• 8 Channels of world class 24-bit/96kHz A/D convertors
• 28 Channel / 4 buss digital mixer with 9 motorized faders
• 4-Band parametric EQ and dynamics processing on each mixer channel
• Two 56 bit multi effect processors with over 100 different effects each
• 32 Channels of 24-bit/96kHz digital audio I/O via mLAN Firewire
• Built-in Multi Port MIDI interface with hundreds of MIDI channels
• Integrated Control Surface protocols to control Sonar™, Cubase™,
  Nuendo™, Logic™, Digital Performer™ and plug-ins
• Huge suite of bundled software including over $700 of Yamaha VST Plug-ins

The best value in sound reinforcement loudspeakers just got better! Improving a line that’s become the market leader over the last six years, at similar price points, wasn’t easy. Better quality almost always comes at a price, but ClubV is one of the rare exceptions. Our speaker design team found ways to provide re-designed crossovers, stronger grilles, DUAL Speakon and 1/4" connectors, and improved drivers and power handling specs.

More good news…the entire line, including our new dual 18" and single 15" subwoofers, is available in either the original carpet covered or new sprayed finish. This durable sprayed coating can easily be painted to match any décor, and with foam-lined grilles that completely cover the baffle, these loudspeakers easily disappear into the surroundings! The carpeted versions (“S” prefix) become available in October 2003 while the sprayed versions (“C” prefix) arrive in December.

We probably could have rested on our laurels and just done a minor repackaging of the incredibly successful Motif Music Production Synthesizers. In fact, that’s the kind of thing a lot of our competitors have done recently.

Instead, we started from scratch developing the core of our newest synth from the ground up. The heart of the ES is a brand new tone generator chip featuring 128 notes of polyphony, new filter algorithms and massive DSP power (try 16 three band Part EQs, 8 Insert effects, two system effects and master effects in Song and Pattern Mode).

To compliment all this sonic power, the ES has the largest and most musical wave ROM ever featured in a workstation keyboard (175 MB in 16 bit linear format). New features like Phrase Factory with 1700 arpeggios, Mega Voice technology and real time loop remix make it easier than ever to create great tracks. Its advanced Integrated Sampling Sequencer lets you add audio tracks into your songs. The latest in digital technologies including support for 512 MB of DIMM Sample RAM, USB storage hosting and 2nd generation mLAN computer connectivity guarantee future expandability. We added bigger and better knobs, sliders and transport controls, even a ribbon controller. In fact, ES might stand for Every Suggestion we ever heard for improving Motif.

And, when we were done developing all this cool cutting edge technology there was nothing left to do, but give this brand new beast a name. Try as hard as we could, there was no better name for the most powerful synth workstation on the planet than Motif.
