Simultaneous Style & Song PlaybackImagine being able to play a MIDI file and a Style at the same time. This keyboard has separate controls for song and style playback. The style will automatically sync to the MIDI file. Maybe youd like to try one of your favorite songs with a different rhythm. If you are a writer, maybe youd like to try your song with many different styles to see what it sounds like. If the song has chord data in it (many XG files contain the chord data or you can input it using the keyboard or software programs like XGworks), the style will actually follow the chords in the MIDI file and play a complete instrumental background. Its unique and different and just one of the cool new features of this keyboard. |
Incredible Music StylesThe PSR1500 contains a wealth of fully arranged music styles, including specially designed Pianist Styles, to backup your musical performance. Yamaha style makers around the world have been working very hard to create some wonderful new styles for this release of the PSR1500. Each style has 3 Intros, Main A/B/C/D variations, and 3 Endings, as well as four fill-in patterns for added musical expression. You can change the instrument part settings of any music style, or even create your own custom styles. Exceptional SoundDynamic two-way stereo speakers effectively reproduce the PSR1500s high quality voices with rich, full-range sound. The keyboards built-in ports enhance lower frequencies. One Touch SettingThe One Touch Setting (OTS) function automatically configures keyboard parameters, such as melody voice selection, tempo, and accompaniment volume, to optimally match each music style you select. This feature has been improved on the PSR1500. You can, if you like, have the OTS advance automatically with the 4 Main Sections of a style for ultimate hands-free operation. |
Great Organ soundsThe PSR1500 features a dedicated organ flute function complete with graphic drawbars that can be individually modified, delivering classic jazz and rock organ sounds.
