FEATURES
Value and Performance combine to bring home the Magic of Music
| Yamaha Corporation of
America continues its leadership position in the portable keyboard market
with the introduction of the new Yamaha PSR292 — the affordable choice for
song learning, recording and playback. The PSR292 has a built-in 6-track
sequencer (recorder), boasts over 600 voices and is fully General MIDI (GM)
and XG Lite compatible. And because this keyboard has Touch Response, your
playing can be as expressive as on an acoustic instrument. Newly designed
panel layout includes a blue backlit LCD and panel lights, giving the PSR292
a contemporary look and feel. |
Portable Grand™
| Customers have always listed
the piano as the most important sound they were looking for in a portable
keyboard. In keeping with its piano focus, the Yamaha PSR292 features a
stereo-sampled piano voice and dynamic filtering; technology previously
reserved for much more expensive, professional keyboards. Playing piano is
fast and easy with Yamaha's Portable Grand function. One dedicated button
brings up a great sounding piano, stunningly rich and authentic in its sound
and exceptionally responsive to your playing touch, as well as setting up
the keyboard to play as a piano in full keyboard mode. On top of all this, a
wealth of special piano-only "Pianist" styles, like Piano Ballad or Boogie
Woogie for example, provide professional-sounding piano accompaniment that
changes chords automatically as you do, while you play a piano melody on
top! |
Yamaha Portable Keyboards put musical creativity at your fingertips
| The PSR292 is a musicians
dream come true, giving you the power to sound exactly the way you want. It
starts with a new level of instrument realism thanks to a larger sample ROM.
And what does that mean? Simply put, a more realistic digital sample of an
instrument almost always requires a larger digital sample. So by increasing
the size of the sample memory, Yamaha is able to give you even more
realistic instrument voices. And you get so many of them on the constantly
growing extension of General MIDI (GM) called XG. |
| Not only do you get full compatibility with
GM, you get hundreds of extra XG Lite Voices as well as full MIDI control of
voice and effects parameters like Reverb and Chorus, which add an extra
dimension of richness. In an effort to give the player maximum flexibility,
the PSR292 is capable of layer and split modes. Split mode allows you to
have two different sounds on the keyboard at the same time, like piano on
the right and bass on the left. Layer mode allows you to combine two sounds
across the keyboard range. For example, you could play piano and strings at
the same time. You're only limited by your imagination. |
Yamaha Education Suite™: Learning to play songs and chords
| The PSR292 offers you
state-of-the-art features to help you get started on your musical journey.
It comes with 100 built-in songs with Songbook, plus the ability to connect
to a computer and download more songs from the Internet into the PSR292
Flash ROM. Once the songs are in Flash ROM, you can use all of the built-in
features to help you learn to play them. But if you've never played before,
where do you start? Well, if learning to play music is important to you, the
Yamaha Education Suite II™, a wonderful set of music training functions,
makes learning music incredibly easy. Seven types of lessons are available
as well as a convenient chord dictionary. |
- Three keyboard lessons for each hand
Timing mode: You can play the melody or chord by pressing any key using
the correct timing.
Waiting mode: Playback pauses until you find and play the correct chord or
melody note.
Minus One mode: Mute the left-hand, right-hand, or both parts of a song
and play along nonstop.
- Lesson Grading— monitors your progress as you practice each
lesson.
- Chord Dictionary — shows you how to play chords and tells you
which chords you are playing by displaying the notes and chord name on the
LCD screen

Music Database
| Yamaha Portable Keyboards
are famous for their ease of use. But, even when the keyboard is easy to
operate, how does the novice know which settings to make that are
appropriate for the song he wants to play? With Yamaha's remarkable new
Music Database, you simply choose from over 200 song titles in the database
and the entire keyboard will set itself up for that song. It couldn't be
easier. |
Sound Quality
- 2-Way Speaker System
Separate tweeters deliver high frequency sounds with clarity and precision
for more lifelike instrument voices.
- Bass Boost System
A special port on each speaker adds a powerful impact to bass sound
reproduction.
- Stereo (Not just 2 Speakers)
We all know that stereo sound adds realistic character and spatial depth.
But how can you tell if the portable keyboard you're looking to purchase
is stereo or not? With Yamaha, the answer is simple. All Yamaha Portable
Keyboards are true stereo.
- Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
Enhances sound quality with sophisticated digital effects like Reverb,
Chorus & Echo effects.
- Advanced Wave Memory (AWM)
Yamaha Advanced Wave Memory technology delivers amazingly realistic sound.

Keyboard Styles and the One Touch Setting
| The PSR292 comes with 135
built-in styles, waiting for you to play along with. It's just like having a
built-in band. Call up your favorite style of music like Rock, Big Band or
Country, press a chord or play Single Finger mode, and the 292 will follow
you through a piece of music, providing all of the drums, bass, piano,
guitar, horn and string parts for you. And to make it easy and fun, when you
select one of the styles, the One Touch Setting function will automatically
configure keyboard parameters, such as voice selection and digital effects,
to match that selected music style.

32-note Polyphony
| What's polyphony, you ask?
Simply put, polyphony is how many notes a keyboard can reproduce
simultaneously. The PSR292 has 32-note Polyphony allowing you to play
intricate arrangements and dense musical passages |
Computer Connectivity
| Thinking of connecting a
PSR292 to a computer? Yamaha makes it easy with the new Computer function
button. Now, instead of wading through function menus and fighting through a
maze of selections, one button is your expressway to music on the web and
your computer. All Yamaha keyboards have a special MIDI (Musical Instrument
Digital Interface) port on the back that let you connect your keyboard to a
computer (requires a MIDI Interface like the Yamaha
UX16 and music
software). Once connected, you can play your songs into the computer,
edit them if necessary, and e-mail them to your friends and family. And with
General MIDI (GM) compatibility, song data always plays back the correct
sounds. |
