With the PSRE223 digital keyboard, you're never more than a button push away from the most realistic piano sound in portable keyboards today. One press of the Portable Grand button resets the entire keyboard to a stereo-sampled piano, perfect for when it's time to practice. Yamaha is known around the world for the quality of their acoustic pianos and this attention to detail is evident as you enjoy the warmth and clarity of this Portable Grand piano. And of course, the keyboard includes a Sustain Pedal jack on the back for practicing and playing piano pieces.

The PSRE223 has 102 built-in songs for you to learn to play, using the Interactive Yamaha Education Suite. The songs are separated into left and right hand parts, providing 7 levels of lessons plus a convenient chord dictionary.
In addition to the 102 songs mentioned above, the PSRE223 also has auto accompaniment styles that follow your playing. Simply select a style of music from the 100 built-in styles, play a single note or chord on the left side of the keyboard and play your melody on the right side. The PSRE223 will create a backup band (bass, drums, strings, guitar etc.) and follow you through the song. You can play your songs and try different genres of music.

The music pathway to your computer and the Internet is MIDI. It's the way that keyboards communicate with computers. And because the PSRE223 is both General MIDI (GM) and XGlite compatible, you have access to thousands of MIDI song files on the Internet.

The PSRE223 features MIDI In/Out, Sustain Pedal jack and a Headphone jack for private practice.
