Expressive Touch Like a Piano If you're buying a keyboard having piano in mind, you'll want Yamaha's Touch Response feature. On an acoustic piano, striking a key harder will produce a louder sound, striking it softer will produce a softer sound. With Yamaha's "Touch Response" the YPT-310 keyboard responds like an acoustic piano. Backlit LCD Screen Since you spend a lot of the time at your keyboard looking at the LCD display screen, you might as well get one that's easy to see – like the backlit LCD in the YPT-310! Portable Grand: One Press to an Amazing Stereo Grand Voice 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. Yamaha is known around the world for the quality of our acoustic pianos and this attention to detail is evident as you enjoy the warmth and clarity of the YPT-310 Portable Grand piano. And of course, the keyboard includes a Sustain Pedal jack on the back for practicing and playing piano pieces. Yamaha Education Suite™ (Y.E.S.): Learn How To Play Now! The YPT-310 has 102 built-in songs 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. Three keyboard lessons for each hand: Lesson One – LISTEN & LEARN the melody or rhythm of a selected song Lesson Two – TIMING mode allows you to play the melody or chord by pressing any key using the correct timing Lesson Three: WAITING mode stops the playback of a song until you find the correct note and then continues Lesson Grading – monitors your progress as you practice each lessons two and three and gives you a grade. 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. Sound Effect Kit: Have Some Fun! If your kid doesn't think playing keyboard is cool, wait 'til he hears this keyboard! Get the world of Hip Hop and all the hottest sound effects in your Yamaha keyboard. Push the Sound Effect button, hold down a key with your right hand, and you're groovin'! Sound Quality: Real Stereo with Bass Ports (Not Just 2 Speakers) Some keyboards have two speakers but aren't stereo. Don't be fooled. Just because a keyboard has two speakers doesn't mean that it's truly stereo with two separate amplifiers. All Yamaha Portable Keyboards feature stereo-sampling technology. Bass Ports – Port on each speaker that 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. 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. Some keyboards at this price point have only 12-note polyphony. The YPT-310 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. 106 Accompaniment styles and the One Touch Setting The YPT-310 comes with 106 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 YPT-310 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. In addition, you can transfer new Styles into the Flash ROM in the keyboard. Selections can be found at www.yamahamusicsoft.com. Great Voices 482 General MIDI (GM) and XGLite Voices The YPT-310 has a large selection of professional sounding voices called XGlite. Only Yamaha's best keyboards have the capacity to support and reproduce Yamaha's XGlite voices. The result is amazing sound quality and almost 500 voices for you to choose from, offering even greater compatibility with both 3rd party and Yamaha XG software. For a look at some of the GM/XG music titles available from Yamaha, follow this link to www.yamahamusicsoft.com.

Summary: yamaha ypt310 61 full size touch sensitive keys
Comment: I would love to review this product for you, but as it is wrapped in my closet until December 25th, one might guess it is a Christmas Present for a 7 year old young lady, I will be happy to relate how she and we feel when the time arrives, but for now it is covered with black trash bags, and on one side of my walk in closet. To date she never goes in my closet says it is too messy!!!!!!! From what I have been told by her piano teacher this should be quite enjoyable for her and that is reason we purchased it. No we did not even plug it in, did buy the cord setup as your postings said it ate batteries.

Summary: Pleased Keyboard Owner
Comment: I bought this for myself, as a guitar player who wants to learn the keyboard. Some other reviewers have rated this product poorly. But, I feel this is a great introductory level instrument. In addition, I don't believe that the speaks are meant to produce production quality sound. Sound via headphones is great and true performance quality sound would very likely be achieved via an output cable to a mixer/amplifier. It has plenty of features go investigate and become familiar with, to gain experience to move on to a full-sized professional keyboard if desired. An added plus to this model is, it does provide a good measure of touch sensitivity, so that it does perform more closely to a piano's sound production. I'm extremely pleased with this purchase!

Summary: Excellent instrument for the money.
Comment: I've been playing piano for over 40 years and greatly prefer a traditional piano over an electronic one. However, this keyboard is so outstanding in every way that I forget I'm playing a keyboard and find myself simply enjoying the music that comes out of it. The sound quality is excellent, the voices are fun to play with, and the touch is quite satisfactory. On top of that, it will record and play back and has midi capability. I'm extremely pleased with this keyboard.

Summary: Nice keyboard for the price
Comment: I freelance as an accompanist and help people out with studio recordings for demo CD's. This keyboard is what I use to practice at home, and it's definitely fine for that. The price and free shipping were great. Definitely the touch sensitive keys and natural piano sound is my favorite thing about this keyboard. I rarely change the default piano sound when I play. Some of the instrument sounds, like synth string and some of the bell sounds are nice. Most of it is just okay, but for this price, I'm happy with it.
Like most keyboards, the drum beats need work. The accompaniment with drums and bass line vary from okay to really hokey. IMO if you sing with it as a one man band, it won't sound good. You'd be better off with a good drum machine and this keyboard...or no percussion at all. A few of the drum beats are okay like the Ibiza, EuTrance, and Club Dance. Actually my favorite drum beat is the first (8BtModern) pop style. Maybe someday they'll re-create/sample some usable pop drum beats from today's songs and do away with the samba, tango, mambo beats, etc.
As with any e-keyboard, the action of the keys is easier than a real piano. Also, with only 61 keys, forget doing long arpeggio's. But the space, weight and cost savings make this a good option for many. For an inexpensive keyboard, I'd definltey recommend this Yamaha.

Summary: No power adapter
Comment: This might be 5-star review or a 0-star review. Hard to determine that yet, since this keyboard HAS NO POWER ADAPTER! Very hard to believe this device lacks a power supply, and harder yet to know that based upon the information provided.
