Yamaha PSR550B 61 Key Arranger Workstation KeyboardThe Yamaha PSRS550B is a 61 Key Arranger Workstation that gives you all the features and quality of a professional arranger you need, but for a price you can afford!
That makes this arranger a great addition to any serious musician’s collection. The arranger comes with 61 Full Size Touch Response Keys and 64 note polyphony, state of the art features including USB MIDI and USB storage capability, and also includes features like other arranger keyboards including: Dedicated Registration, One Touch Setting and Octave buttons on the panel, Style and Voice category buttons to get you where you want to go quickly, and full XG compatibility. Those musical styles also come with 3 introductions, 3 endings, plus 4 variations & fill-ins, and 176 styles to choose from! For added realism, this arranger offers a large selection of super-realistic Sweet!, Live!, and Cool! Voices, ethnic content including regionally unique voices and drum kits, and 774 voices and 22 drum kits that are GM and XG Compatible.
Newly-Added Features:
Building on the impressive features of the PSRS500, this enhanced edition includes a full 16-track sequencer, a style creator function, dramatically increased numbers of voices, including full XG support and ethnic voices and drum kits, high-quality sound with improved DSP, the addition of dance styles, and a professional black finish.
Sequencer:
An upgrade from the 9 track sequencer of the PSRS500, the PSRS550B comes with a 16 track sequencer, which allows you to record one or more instrument parts at a time (15 melody and 1 chord track), which provides beautiful melodies, chord accompaniment, and rhythm parts to your music.
LCD Screen:
For those wanting to see lyrics and the sheet music that accompanies an artist’s song, or even your own, can now get what they want with the Backlit LCD Screen built into the PSRS550B which displays lyrics, chords, and notation.

|      | | Subject: | Nice Entry Level Keyboard | | Quality:
| Good construction for an Entry Level Board | | Features:
| OTS - But I would add the Freeze feature to the registrations section, it is nice to be able to save 64 sounds but with out the a freeze control over the rhythm patterns your just wasting time saving registrations. | | Ease of Use:
| a new comer will be a bit confused at first, I've used Yamaha Keyboards for Years, it was easy to use right away, very nice factory set of registrations and good ots. | | Sound:
| Excellent - right up there with the best keyboards, ie: Roland G70, Korg Pa800 | | Action:
| Very nice action, not the best I have used but very good. | | Value:
| A bit high in cost considering some really main features are not available, ie: MIDI in/Out, Freeze function for the registrations, combined Phones/Audio Output. | | Do you own this product?:
