PSR450 Added to Yamaha's Portable Keyboard Line61-Key Portable Keyboard Includes Disk Drive for Archived Content
January 15, 2004
Rapid advances in technology have left musicians with large amounts of material on "older," but still usable, removable storage options--such as floppy disks--and an increasingly limited selection of instruments that will accept these storage formats. Yamaha Corporation addresses this problem in part, with the debut of the PSR450.
The PSR450 is a keyboard in a portable package with floppy drive compatibility, opening up the ease and wealth of disk-based resources like vintage educational materials, personally recorded disks and proprietary Yamaha Disk Orchestra and Styles collections.
The PSR450 features 32 notes of polyphony, 135 built-in styles and 491 XGlite/GM voices--including authentic sax, trumpet and flute sounds from the "Sweet!" set, organ from the "Cool!" collection and orchestra voice from the "Live!" group. The 61-key keyboard contains Split and Layer configurations, plus a pitch bend wheel and two-way stereo speakers.
An integrated 3.5-in. 2 HD floppy disk drive is Style File format and Standard MIDI File format compatible. The PSR450 also contains a music database with 500 song titles with automatic setup for each song, a 6-track sequencer for recording songs and performances, plus MIDI In/Out.
The PSR450 is slated for June delivery and carries an MSRP of $599.95.
