Description
The PSR-195/PSR-79 is a sophisticated yet easy-to-use keyboard with the following features and functions:
The Yamaha Education Suite includes:
Powerful Melody Guide functions in the Song mode — Waiting and Minus One — that let you easily learn the 100 songs and even show you what notes to play!
- Waiting pauses song playback (like a patient teacher!), so you can practice at your own pace.
- Minus One mutes only the melody part, letting you play the part yourself. The expert
- backing parts encourage you to play your best and make it easy to “feel” the song!
- Chord Guide functions in the Style mode — Smart and Dictionary — that make it exceptionally
- easy to learn chords and chord relationships.
- Smart lets you easily play harmonically “correct” chord progressions for whatever key you
- specify. It’s great for learning — and performing!
- Dictionary is a built-in “chord encyclopedia” that teaches you how to play specific chords.
- You type in the chord name, and the PortaTone shows you which notes to play!
The PortaTone also has a Portable Grand function for realistic piano performance. Pressing the PORTABLE GRAND button instantly calls up the stunningly authentic “Stereo Sampling Piano” voice and configures the entire PortaTone for optimum piano play. Special Piano styles — with piano-only accompaniment — are also provided.
