Yamaha PSR-S710 Arranger Workstation Keyboard

zZounds' Take on Yamaha PSR-S710

You could hire a music director, ten-piece band and sound tech, and buy a complicated PA system, and you still wouldn't be able to do everything you could if you just bought a Yamaha PSR-S710 instead. The PSR-S710 is the latest incarnation of the Yamaha Arranger Workstation Keyboard, and it features over 850 sounds including many premium voices from the PSR-S900. Combined with sophisticated, intelligent accompaniment functionality and an expandable genre styles database, the PSR-S710 makes you sound like you're being backed by the most attentive backing musicians in town. With sixteen-track sequencing, WAV audio recording, and a large LC screen that can display lyrics and score information, the Yamaha PSR-S710 makes the perfect keyboard for cocktail gigs, piano bars, restaurants, and much, much more.

sSounds!

When Yamaha decided to upgrade their S-series arranger keyboards, they took many of the sounds that were previously available only on the top-tier S900 and shifted them to the PSR-S710, so you get some premium Yamaha sounds at the more affordable S710 price. There's the Yamaha staple grand piano sounds, electric pianos, drum kits, fantastic orchestral pads, huge synth sounds, and a wide selection of world percussion. That's over 850 superior instrument voices for just about any kind of music. The PSR-S710's dual 12-watt stereo speaker system amplifies these sounds beautifully, but you can also plug into to an amp or directly to the house PA via stereo 1/4-inch outputs.

Let The Arranger Do The Arranging

At the core of the Yamaha PSR-S710 is its intelligent accompaniment. Plenty of keyboards come with backing tracks, but the PSR-S710 features over 200 pre-loaded styles complete with three intros, three outros, "A" through "D" thematic variations, and four different "fill" types. A range of dedicated controls makes directing your virtual band easier than pointing at your drummer. Each style contains instrumentation and sound effect settings, so you'll be able to radically readjust the complete sound of your keyboard simply by selecting a style. And here's something you could never do with human players: connect directly to the Internet and download new styles for an instantly expandable set list--even in the middle of a gig (contingent on Internet access, of course).

Or Make Your Own Backing Tracks

The Yamaha PSR-S710 gives you the freedom to create your own backing tracks as well, thanks to its sixteen track sequencer and audio recorder. When the inspiration strikes you, easily compose your musical ideas and save them to a USB flash memory drive. Everything is made easier thanks to the PSR-S710's large, high-contrast LCD screen.

If you're a gigging keyboardist, the Yamaha PSR-S710 is the manifestation of your arranger workstation wish list. Stop searching through the musicians wanted classifieds and pick one up from zZounds today!
