Yamaha PSR-E473 and EW425. An Evolution In Sound And Performance.

Yamaha has announced new additions to its PSR range. The PSR-E473 and PSR-EW425.

We have been eagerly awaiting the release of the PRS-E473 for some time now. Ever since Yamaha raised the bar for entry-level keyboards with the 2020 launch of the PSR-E373 we knew something special was coming and finally it is here.

Both new models share the same feature set but the PSR-EW425 sports 76 keys where the PSR-E473 61 keys.

Highlights

Next Generation Sounds With Super Articulation Voices.
The new PSR-E series keyboards deliver the same pro-quality sound found in the higher-end models.
Quick Sampling. A new interface and greater freedom in sampling new sources allow for more expression.
Motion Effects. Hold buttons down while playing to instantly add effects, morph the sound with a filter, create pitch risers, add tape stop effects and slices, or other new dynamic sound effects.
Mega Boost. Press the Mega Boost button to add +6dB of powerful volume! This function adds 6dB to the apparent volume set by the volume knob.
Live Control Knobs. The two Live Control Knobs make it easy to manipulate and interact with the sound you produce as you play.
Versatile, High-Quality Effects. These models are the first in the PSR-E series to feature two effects channels and deliver high-quality effects previously available only with high-end models.
