Large LCD Displays Multi-function Controls

The large backlit LCD panel is a multi function type that provides simultaneous access to a number of important parameters. An ample amount of information is displayed with the use of large, easy to read type and large graphic icons which make recognition of functions and parameters possible at a glance.

141 authentic AWM voices

Yamaha's AWM tone generation system lies at the heart of the PSR-620's outstanding sound. The same tone generation system used in Yamaha's professional line of keyboards means that every one of the PSR-620's 141 voices is of outstanding quality. Truly expressive voices ranging from acoustic piano to exotic ethnic sounds, the perfect voice is easily accessible.

State of the Art Digital Effects

12 reverb effects, 9 chorus effects and 45 DSP effects to give your sound an extra measure of character and intensity. Distortion, Equalizer, Reverb and Chorus are but a few of possible applications from the wide range of effects possible using DSP effects. Each of the 45 DSP effects also has its own variation for even greater variety.

100 Superb Accompaniment Styles

100 exciting accompaniment styles that can be used to provide rhythm backing or fully -orchestrated rhythm, bass and chord accompaniment. In the Normal mode, the Auto Accompaniment will produce an accompaniment that is perfectly matched to the selected style, In the Full mode the PSR-620 automatically differentiates between left-hand chords and right-hand melody, no matter where you play on the keyboard. This means you can take advantage of the auto accompaniment feature without having to adjust your playing technique.

One Touch Settings

Yamaha's One Touch Setting feature automatically selects appropriate voices and other settings to perfectly match the selected accompaniment style. Each of the 100 accompaniment styles contain 4 variations for a total of 400 settings giving you more matched options to the style you want to work with.

Music Cartridge Option

With the cartridge slot feature and optional Yamaha Music Cartridges you can enjoy listening to automated performances of a wide range of classical and popular pieces, or use it as your "private music tutor," allowing you to practice various parts of a piece while the other are played automatically.

Song Recording

Song Tracks allows you to record and playback complete songs including chord sequences that you create using the Auto Accompaniment feature and a melody line you play on the keyboard. Song Tracks include one track for recording an accompaniment part and two tracks for recording melodies. The PSR-620 can store one song at a time, but songs can be saved on floppy disk and reloaded later.

Multi Pads

Four Multi Pads that can be used to play back 84 short pre-recorded rhythmic or melodic sequences. This feature can add impact and diversity to your keyboard performances. "Chord match" phrases automatically transpose to match chords played using the Auto Accompaniment feature.

Registration Memory

The Registration Memory function can be used to memorize 128 complete control-panel setups. You can customize settings for voice, volume, split, dual, touch, effect, etc. and store them into one of the 32 registration banks. Each of the 32 banks contain 4 setups each which can be recalled at the push of a button.

Minus One

In the Minus One mode you can practice your playing skills by specifying which parts are to be turned on or off. You can work on chord comping skills, playing melodies or refine your ad-lib technique.

Disk Drive and Enhanced Sound

The PSR-620 is equipped with a built-in floppy disk drive that can be used with Yamaha Disk Orchestra Collection disks (available from Yamaha), the Yamaha Style File Format and general MIDI disks. Disk Orchestra Collection disks contain automated performances of a variety of classic and popular songs that you can simply enjoy listening to, or use as your "private music tutor" by playing along with the recorded accompaniment.

MIDI Compatibility

The PSR-620's MIDI compatibility allow you to take advantage of the numerous possibilities available in the world of MIDI. The General MIDI Level 1 Standard allows for easy use in sophisticated MIDI music systems. You can control a second keyboard or tone generator from the PSR-620 with the MIDI Out connector resulting in thicker multi instrument sounds. The internal tone generator can be driven from an external seuqencer or music computer connected to the MIDI In connector.

Stereo Sound System

All of the great features above are nearly useless if the sound isn't right. The PSR520 has built in high-fidelity internal amplifier and stereo speaker systems that give your music remarkable sound quality without the need of external sound equipment.

25 Demo Songs

The 25 Demo Songs will give you a good idea as to what can be accomplished with the PSR520. But they are not for your listening enjoyment alone. You can also play along with the demo songs or use the Minus One function to practice your keyboard skills.
