Product Description
With the Yamaha YPT410 full-size keyboard, you're never more than a
button push away from the most realistic piano sound in portable
keyboards today. One press of the Portable Grand button resets the
entire keyboard to a stereo-sampled piano--perfect for when it's time
to practice. This portable keyboard features 61 touch sensitive keys,
504 instrument voices, and a Sustain Pedal jack on the back for
practicing and playing piano pieces. This special package comes
complete with a pair of professional closed cup headphones, a keyboard
stand, and a power supply.
The YPT410 has separate woofers and
tweeters to deliver sounds with clarity and precision for more lifelike
instrument voices. A special port on each speaker also adds a powerful
impact to bass sound reproduction, and the true stereo adds realistic
character and spatial depth. Its Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
enhances sound quality with sophisticated digital effects like Harmony,
Reverb & Chorus. The YPT410 includes Yamaha's Advanced Wave Memory
(AWM) technology, which helps it delivers amazingly realistic sound.
Computer Connectivity: USB and Flash ROM
The YPT410 comes with 30 built-in songs, plus 70 more on an included
CD-ROM, as well as an interactive lesson system, divided into left and
right hand parts, for learning them. In addition, you have the ability
to connect to a computer via USB, download more songs from the Internet
into the internal Flash ROM (PC only), and use all of the Yamaha
Education Suite features to master them. Yamaha makes it easy to get
connected with the new PC 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. Once connected,
you can play your songs into the computer (PC and Mac), edit them if
necessary, and e-mail them to your friends and family. And, with
General MIDI (GM) and XGlite compatibility, song data always plays back
with the correct sounds.
6-Track Sequencer
Imagine capturing your child's first performance or writing and
recording your own songs. With the YPT410, you have the equivalent of a
built-in multitrack recorder to record one or multiple instrument parts
at a time and assign each part to a different track. Six tracks are
provided to accommodate sophisticated melodies, chord accompaniment,
and rhythm parts.
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.
One Touch Setting (OTS)
This provides you with a recommended voice with effects for each style.
For example, on a jazz style OTS might be piano, for a Latin style it
might be acoustic guitar and for a rock style it might be a guitar with
overdrive etc.
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 up to
16 Registrations to User memory. The Registration buttons are
conveniently located just above the keyboard.
Performance Assistant Technology
Performance assistant technology is a feature from Yamaha that
guarantees that you can't play a wrong note or chord. Here's how it
works. Select a song, press the Performance Assistant button, and play
the keyboard any notes you like. 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. Imagine being able to give a
concert to your friends or relatives the very first day that you bring
this remarkable keyboard home. With the YPT410 and performance
assistant technology, you can! In addition to working with any of the
internal songs with chords, this feature also works with XF MIDI files.
Easy Song Arranger
You can change the feel or arrangement of songs by simply pressing the
Easy Song Arranger button, allowing you to re-mix any MIDI file. For
example, you can try your favorite song with a Rock feel, Hip Hop, then
Jazz. It's fast, powerful, and one-button simple.
Digital Music Notebook
Digital Music Notebook is a multimedia Internet service that enables
you to preview, purchase, download, and print learn-to-play music books
and chart-topping sheet music. From scales to chords to your favorite
riffs, Digital Music Notebook is jam-packed with all the secrets you
need to master your instrument. Add accompaniments, record and mix
yourself, sing karaoke with friends, and learn new techniques while
having a blast—Digital Music Notebook delivers everything you need to
bring music alive.
Master EQ
Five
different master equalizer (EQ) settings are provided to give you the
best possible sound when listening through different reproduction
systems—the instrument's internal speakers, headphones, or an external
speaker system. Either way, you're in control.
Realistic Sounding Voices
The YPT410 comes equipped with 116 panel voices, 12 drum/SFX kits, 361
XGlite voices, plus 15 arpeggio voices. Included in this selection is
stereo-sampled Piano, a selection of Sweet! Voices including Trumpet,
Flute, Pan Flute, Soprano & Tenor Saxes and Cool! Voices ,including
Galaxy Electric Piano, Organ and Rotor Organ. Sweet! Voices reproduce
all the natural expression and vibrato of their respective acoustic
instruments whereas Cool! Voices feature long samples of electronically
amplified instruments. Dual Mode allows you to combine two voices
across the keyboard at the same time. Split Mode allows you to select a
different voice for each hand. The combinations are limited only by
your imagination.
Yamaha Education Suite (Y.E.S.)
The YPT410 has 30 built-in songs plus 70 more on the included CD-ROM
for you to learn to play using the Yamaha Education Suite. The songs
are separated into left and right hand parts, providing 7 levels of
lessons plus a convenient chord dictionary. There are three keyboard
lessons for each hand:
- Waiting Mode -- stops the playback of a song until you find the correct note and then continues.
- Your
Tempo Mode -- Learn to play the correct notes with the correct timing.
Song playback tempo will vary to match the speed you are playing at.
The song will slow down when you play wrong notes, so you can learn at
your own pace.
- Minus One Mode -- Here's where you can
perfect your technique. The song will play at the normal tempo, minus
the part you have chosen to play. Play along while listening to the
song.
Other ways (Y.E.S.) helps you:
- Lesson Grading -- monitors your progress as you practice each lesson and gives you a grade.
- Repeat
and Learn -- The song location will move back four measures from the
point at which you pressed the button, and playback will begin after a
one measure count-in. This section will repeat allowing you to practice
until perfect.
- Chord Dictionary -- shows you how to play
chords and tells you which chords you are playing by displaying the
notes and chord names on the LCD screen.
You are also
able to create sound mixes of your own using 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.
32-Note Polyphony and 16-Part Multi-Timbrel
In electronic keyboards, the more sounds made at the same time
(polyphony), the more memory is needed. Obviously, more is always
better, because too little polyphony can cause dropouts in dense
passages of music. The YPT410 has 32 notes of polyphony and will play
back 16 different parts or sounds at once (16-part multi timbrel);
enough for the most demanding needs.
Digital Effects
The YPT410 takes full advantage of Yamaha's DSP know-how. It gives you
an extensive range of 9 top-quality reverb effects that simulate
playing in everything from a small room to a large spacious concert
hall and 4 chorus effects that add richness to electric pianos and
guitars in particular. You'll also find 26 types of Harmony effects for
your melody part and 50 different Arpeggio patterns. Similar to the
arpeggio functions provided on some synthesizers, this function
automatically produces arpeggios (broken chords) when you simply play
the appropriate notes on the keyboard. A variety of arpeggios can be
produced by changing your fingering or the arpeggio type.
Metronome
Just what the teacher ordered. A fully adjustable metronome is just a button push away.
Auto Accompaniment Styles
In addition to the 100 songs mentioned above, the YPT410 also has auto
accompaniment styles that follow your playing. Simply select a style of
music from the 155 built-in Styles (example Rock), play a single note
or chord on the left side of the keyboard, and play your melody on the
right side. The YPT410 will create a backup band (bass, drums, strings,
guitar etc.) and follow you through the song. You can play your songs
and try different genres of music. And if you can't find the right
style for your song, simply go to Yamaha's website to preview from the
selections, purchase, and transfer one to your keyboard (PC only).

This keyboard works great. It has many features and true Yamaha
voices. I love it. Only thing is the stand that is not from YAMAHA so
it does not fit axatly as it should be. Other than that, it is perfect.
Great Product!!!!!
Excellent keyboard for the price...as good as a full scale synth!
The stand and the headphones work like a charm. However the tutorials are not very intuitive!
Pretty good
