Yamaha PSROR700 Arranger Workstation
The Yamaha PSROR700 is perfect for today's Middle Eastern, Arabic and Mediterranean music lover.
The PSROR700 Arranger Workstation from Yamaha features some very cool content, dedicated Scale Setting panel buttons for on-the-fly scale tuning, MegaVoice and Modeling Technology, and USB jack for connecting peripheral storage devices. The keyboard has 61 touch-sensitive keys, 96-note polyphony, 314 accompaniment Styles featuring 146 special World Styles, large screen, a special selection of World Voices and 22 Drum Kits.
Scale Setting Panel Buttons
The PSROR700 has an intuitive control section located on the left side of the panel for changing tuning on the fly. Designed to be incredibly flexible, the player simply presses one or more tuning buttons to, for example, lower that note a quarter tone. Below the tuning buttons are memory buttons for instant recall of the player's favorite or most used tuning settings.
MegaVoices
First introduced in Tyros, MegaVoice brings a new level of realism to the PSROR700 keyboard. The MegaVoices feature various playing techniques and performance sounds – such as finger slides and fret noise on guitar Voices – designed specifically to enhance playback of the built-in Styles. Simply hold down a chord while you play, and enjoy some of the most astonishingly realist, expressive accompaniment you've ever heard.
USB connectivity
The PSROR700 has 2 USB ports on the back, USB TO HOST and USB to DEVICE.
- USB to HOST is plug and play simple for recording and playing back MIDI files from your computer.
- USB to DEVICE is for connecting optional peripheral USB devices like floppy disk drives, thumb drives and hard drives for storing data like song and Style files.
Large 5.7 inch QVGA screen
Bigger screens convey more information. The screen on the PSROR700 is able to show you mixer settings at a glance, the chords you are playing, what sounds are on the right and left side of the keyboard, what Style or MIDI file is currently playing, virtual drawbars, score and lyrics. The bottom line is that since it's your window into how the music is being created, you might as well make it a big one.
Virtual Drawbar Organ
For that great vintage organ sound, the Organ Flutes on the PSROR700 use Modeling Technology – independently oscillating voices to simulate the rotating tone generation wheels found in classic organs. In true Yamaha fashion, you can select the organ type, control nine virtual drawbars, rotary speed and type, percussive attack and length and vibrato on/off, depth and speed. Then, save your settings and recall your favorite organ voices with one button push.
Ease of operation
There are many tools in the keyboard that make it easy to be a power user from the first day you own it.
- Direct Access button: Press this button and the parameter you would like to adjust, for example pitch bend, and the LCD screen instantly goes there. Saves wading through menus and sub-menus.
- Music Finder: Complete keyboard setups by song title. The keyboard selects an appropriate voice for the right hand melody, the correct musical style and the correct tempo. Simply call up a song title and start playing.
- Quick record: To record a song, just press the Record button. Recording starts as soon as you start playing the keyboard and will record everything you play – the Style, Left & Layer Voices and Multi pads – or a single track.
- One Touch Setting (OTS): Provides you with a recommended voice with effects for each section of a Style (4 per style). Can be set to change automatically or you can select one of the four buttons. For example, on a jazz style, one OTS might be piano, the next jazz guitar with a little echo, the third sax with reverb and the forth might be piano and vibes layered.
- Multi Pads: These four buttons change to match the genre of each Style (or you can change them yourself) and can be used to play a number of short pre-recorded rhythmic and melodic sequences that can be used to add impact and variety to your keyboard playing. Translation: MIDI-Loops.
- Demo: In addition to the main demos showing some of the more advanced features found in the keyboard, there is also a short demo for every sound.
- Mixing Console: To change voices, adjust levels, panning, transpose, tuning, pitch bend and effects on various tracks or parts that you play, simply press the Mixing Console button and make adjustments using graphical representations of rotary pots and faders.
- Registration Memory: Set the keyboard up just the way you like and take a digital snapshot by memorizing it to one of the Registration buttons. Load and save banks of eight registrations to User memory, SmartMedia or USB device. The eight Registration buttons are conveniently located just above the keyboard.
- Performance assistant technology: Guarantees that you can't play a wrong note. Here's how it works. Select an XF compatible song, press the Performance Assistant button and every note you play will fit the music. If you move up the keyboard, the pitch goes up. If you move down, the pitch goes down. Play a perfect arpeggio, or play chords in time with the music, or really go for it and play a solo. As long as performance assistant is on, you're on.
A Keyboard with more Style
The PSROR700 features Styles (accompaniment patterns) in a variety of Western musical genres including Rock, Dance, Jazz, Latin, and World genres like Arabic, Maghrebi, Khaligi, Iranian, Turkish and Greek. As you play chords with your left hand, the selected Style will automatically provide drums, bass, guitar, strings, organ and other relevant musical instrument parts. This is live playing at its best.
Dynamic Voices and effects
A keyboard can only sound as good as the speakers that reproduce its sound. The stereo speaker system in the PSROR700 has been specially designed to faithfully reproduce the powerful dynamics and subtle overtones of the onboard voices and music styles. The keyboard comes with 862 Voices, is 96-note polyphonic and has 4 Effects blocks plus Reverb and Chorus. Additional sound features include a selection of special samples called MegaVoice, Sweet!, Live! and Cool! voices.
- MegaVoices bring incredible realism to the built-in accompaniment
- Sweet! voices reproduce all the natural expression and vibrato of their respective acoustic instruments
- Cool! voices feature long samples of electronically amplified instruments
- Live! voices use stereo samples to ensure the most accurate reproduction of each instrument's natural presence, resonance and vibrato
