Author: Andy Merrett / Data Driven

Overview

The Yamaha PSR-16 is a home keyboard released in 1988. It is marketed primarily to home musicians.

The PSR-16 has 49 synth/organ style full sized keys without touch sensitivity or aftertouch. It has nine notes of polyphony. It has 32 on board sounds but no acoustic piano sounds. It does have other real world sounds though, accompaniments and rhythms, and no pedals.

The PSR-16 uses Yamaha's FM sound generation. Frequency Modulation is an iconic digital synthesis for metallic, bell-like, and evolving tones.

It has no built-in learning system. It has a built-in amplifier and speakers. It can run from both AC and battery power.

The keyboard is a decent choice for children. It's very much an entry level model, making it cheaper but also with fewer functions or lower quality sounds than more expensive keyboards. It's a part of the PSR family of instruments, whose models span from 1984 to the present day. Its release year of 1988 makes it a relatively early PSR model.
