Explore a new world of keyboard enjoyment with integrated new Mega-Voice-Technology.

All in all more than 800 instrument voices are built in Yamaha PSR-S700. Many of these voices are coming from high end models – for example, the 14 Live! Voices, 18 Cool! Voices and 11 Sweet! Voices as well as 10 Mega! Voices. Mega! Voices feature various playing and performance sounds, for example finger slides and fret noises on guitar voices. These Mega! Voices are used in the programming of the 205 internal accompaniment styles, giving your performances a new level of realism.

For each Style there are four One Touch Settings so that you get the perfect instrumental setting by pressing just one button. The OTS-Link-Function allows you to change automatically through the One Touch Setting just by changing the Style-variation.

If you want to play a certain song and don’t know which style to choose, the powerful Music Finder feature can help. Simply select a song title or a keyword, all appropriate panel settings are reconfigured to match the genre, including the appropriate voices, style and effects. Music Finder+ also works with the Internet Direct Connection (IDC) feature, allowing you to download additional free Music Finder records and collections in addition to the wide selection built in to the instrument.

The large LCD display shows the song notation of a MIDI file (score) as well as lyrics (for MIDI songs that have score and lyric data).

In addition, PSR-S700 features both Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels, allowing the player to have more control over instrumental… read more and synth voices. A powerful Bass-Reflex-speaker system and 2 x 12 watts amplification make the PSR-S700 outstanding in sound quality, whilst the integrated Network-connector (LAN-Port) ensures ease of use with Yamaha’s unique Internet Direct Connection (IDC) feature. The USB-to-device connection opens the possibility to connect USB storage devices such as thumb drives to the instrument, giving you virtually unlimited memory capacity for user registrations, styles and songs.

In addition, the PSR-S700 also features a huge range of onboard recording and creativity unmatched by any other keyboard at the price. read less

"Ideal for at home musicals."

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I think the biggest downsides of this keyboard are: 1) no harmonizer, 2) the LCD is blue instead of being in colour and the internal amplifier power which should be 20W +20W instead of 12W+12W.

Sound
Sound is almost perfect. This keyboard would be more useful in at home music sessions. wouldn't advise anyone to use it in a band. it is too delicate.

Features
No harmonizer. I would be useful for a keyboard in this price range to ahve one. Especially for people who sing and play at the same time. Digiscore is also useful and practical because it not only helps you how to read music, it also helps you to add more songs to your repertoire. the more songs you play, the more diversified uour performance becomes.

Ease of Use
Very easy to use. Manual is very clear and concise. It is a lot of fun to play.

Quality
Cometically, I think it has quite an attractive design. Qualitywise, as far as material it is made of I think made my point in the beginning of this review in the sound department. I would rather have an alternative keyboard for "on the road jobs". It will last quite long if you put a plastic cover over it to keep the dust from lodging under the keys, if you don't let it fall and if you don't play the keyboard with the volume too high.

Value
I think it should be much cheaper. The quality of the electronic components and the… read more power of the internal amplifier do not justify the price that this keyboard is available at. This applies not only to the psrs700 but also to the psrs900, which cost 1000 and 1650 respectively.

Manufacturer Support
As far as technical assistance is concerned, I have no complaints. Very accessible and fast.

The Wow Factor
Aesthecially it would be a good asset to may music even if I did'nt know how to play.
