Bring Home the Magic of Music

Yamaha portable keyboards put musical

creativity at your fingertips

The Yamaha lineup of portable electronic keyboards is a musician’s
dream come true, giving you the power to sound exactly the way you
want. It starts with a new level of instrument realism thanks to a larger
sample ROM. And what does that mean? Simply put, a more realistic
digital sample of an instrument almost always requires a larger digital
sample. So by increasing the size of the sample memory, Yamaha is able
to give you even more realistic instrument voices. And you get so many of
them with Yamaha’s XG standard, the constantly growing extension of
General MIDI (GM). Not only do you get full compatibility with GM, you
get hundreds of extra voices as well as full MIDI control of voice and
effects parameters, and a whole lot more. In addition, these new
PortaTones boast upgraded speaker systems, with 2-way speakers for the
PSR-280 and above, and bass ports for the PSR-160 and above (except
PSR-340).

The world’s favorite auto-accompaniments

Of course, PortaTones are packed with the dynamic rhythms, music styles
and easy-play features that make them the world’s favorites. Plus an
important extra: the Easy Navigator gives you fast, easy, intuitive access to
all these stunning functions, allowing you to spend your time playing
music instead of reading owner’s manuals.

A fun-tastic way to discover the exciting

world of music

Yamaha’s entry-level PortaTone line offers incredible features and
performance at an affordable price. Newly developed Yamaha Education
Suite 2™, a wonderful set of music training functions make learning
music incredibly easy. And when it’s time to take a break from practicing,
simply place the keyboard in DJ mode and let the fun begin—with
awesome dance voices and accompaniment styles…and even a DJ game!
