EXPRESS YOURSELF

The redesigned control panel, featuring an LCD display and Direct Category Access buttons, provides fast and intuitive access to Voices, Styles and key functions — so you can stay focused on your creativity. With dedicated controls, Quick Sampling and innovative Motion Effect features, you can easily shape and perform the sounds you imagine.

CONNECT

With microphone and AUX inputs, individual L/R outputs and a USB to Device port, the PSR-EW425 offers versatile connectivity to enhance your setup. The Mega Boost button adds an impressive +6dB of extra power, increasing the overall output beyond the master volume setting. This gives the built-in speakers added punch — ideal for playing with others or cutting through the mix without the need for a PA system.

REC'N'SHARE

Connect your instrument to a smart device using the Rec’n’Share app to create and share high-quality audio and video recordings of your performances. The USB to Device port lets you record and play back audio files directly from a USB flash drive, while the USB to Host connection opens up even more creative possibilities.

FLOWKEY

Always wanted to learn piano or keyboard? With Yamaha and Flowkey, you can learn at your own pace using your favourite music, thanks to one of the most intuitive learning apps available. When you purchase a qualifying Yamaha digital piano or keyboard, you’ll receive three months of Flowkey Premium, giving you full access to songs and tutorials. Simply register your instrument on the Yamaha website after purchase to get started.

LIVE CONTROL KNOBS

The two Live Control knobs make it easy to shape and interact with your sound in real time as you play. Adjusting parameters such as filter cutoff to alter brightness adds dynamic expression and brings your performance to life.

GROOVE CREATOR & QUICK SAMPLING

With Groove Creator, intuitive buttons and knobs give you everything you need to produce contemporary electronic music with a professional edge.

Quick Sampling allows you to capture sounds from outside the instrument via the AUX input, microphone input, or by importing audio files from a USB storage device — then trigger and play them directly from the keyboard. The creative possibilities are virtually limitless.

The PSR-E473 and PSR-EW425 are the only models in the PSR-E series to feature two channels for insert effects. Equipped with the latest LSI tone generator, they deliver premium sound quality and advanced effects typically found on higher-end instruments.
