Yamaha PSR-A5000 Oriental Digital Arranger Keyboard Overview
The Yamaha PSR-A5000 focuses on the multi-faceted world of oriental music - designed especially for musicians who perform live, featuring a wide range of musical styles from North Africa to the Middle East, Turkey, and Iran, as well as a huge range of special features, making this keyboard incredibly versatile.
1,161 Voices
Including 229 Oriental voices, 44 Oriental Drum Kits and 20 Revo! SFX Kits, including meticulously recorded instruments such as Qud, Qanoon, and Nay that sound amazingly realistic thanks to a new velocity-sensitive portamento Super Articulation.
454 Styles
Includes 260 Oriental Styles, as well as a variety of genres such as Khaleeji (36 styles), Shami (35 styles), Masri (15 styles), Maghrebi (50 styles), Persian (43 styles) and Turkish (31 styles).
The Style Section Reset function allows you to rewind the rhythm of the Style or beat 1 immediately, which is useful when needing to quickly synchronise a performance on stage. Style Section Time Signatures offer a range of time signatures with a single Style, so you can combine different musical parts.
Style Creator expands the pattern length to 128 bars. and the Audio Phraser lets you create your own Audio Style and enjoy playing loop music, while the related software lets you create the Audio Part while adding MIDI parts with the Style Creator function.
Drum Kit functionality
Play up to 128 mapped instruments from a single kit using the optimised, intuitive layout for oriental finger-drumming.
Intuitive user interface
The 7-inch touch display and the new graphic interface make it easy to see and adjust your settings, and the Scale Tune buttons are ideal for live performances. You can store and adjust individual note pitches in Scale Tune Memories, and the FSB keyboard delivers better playability with its heavier initial key resistance, greater key travel, and refined keyboard structure.
Chord Looper
Lets you record chord sequences and play them back, so your left hand is freed up
Crossfade Portamento
This allows you to edit the speed and velocity of successively played notes, resulting in a smoother, harmonic and more expressive transition between individual notes.
Sub output
There are two sub-line-out connections that you can use to adapt your sound to various situations - you can route bass through a separate subwoofer for a fuller, more powerful bottom end, or send parts and drum instruments to an external console to shape your sound even more.
Expanded memory
There is 1GB on-board memory, allowing you to create and store more content at a higher quality.
Included Accessories: Owner’s Manual, Online Member Product Registration, AC adaptor* (PA300C), Power cord*, Music rest, and Footswitch.
Add the Yamaha L-7B stand (sold separately) for an even more comfortable piano playing experience.
