With its high-quality sound engine, pro-style appearance, and powerful specifications -- including a library of sounds and interactive styles -- the E-09 raises the quality standard for entry-level arrangers.

International Appeal

With a global array of interactive musical accompaniments onboard, the E-09 puts a world of colorful and authentic music under your fingertips. Master programmers from around the world have created special Styles for the E-09, spotlighting the Western, Middle Eastern, and Asian cultures.

Low Profile, Big Sound

The E-09 introduces a professional-grade industrial design to the E family. Its black metallic finish, coupled with a slim, streamlined chassis design, makes the E-09 eye catching and easy to transport. Despite its slim physique, the E-09 outputs an impressively big sound from its built-in stereo speaker system. You can enjoy playback three ways with the E-09: through read more headphones, through the built-in speakers, or through external amps and sounds systems via its line outputs.

16-Track Recorder

Music teachers and students will find the onboard 16-Track Recorder useful when learning how to play a song. You can record your performance with or without the arranger accompaniment, and students then can refer to the recording as a guide. Is the song or the teacher's performance too fast? Just slow down the tempo. Need to listen or practice the same section a couple of times? Use the marker/repeat function to specify a region to play repeatedly. Study and have fun with the E-09.
