Overview
The Yamaha PSR-27 is a home keyboard released in 1989. It is marketed primarily to home musicians.
The PSR-27 has 49 synth/organ style full sized keys without touch sensitivity or aftertouch. It has nine notes of polyphony. It has 100 on board sounds but no acoustic piano sounds. It does have other real world sounds though, accompaniments and rhythms, and no pedals.
It uses Yamaha's AWM sound generation. Advanced Wave Memory is a classic high-quality sample playback and layering engine. It also uses FM sound generation. Frequency Modulation is an iconic digital synthesis for metallic, bell-like, and evolving tones. It also uses Digital Advanced Sampling System, for expanded sample playback with deeper control.
It has the ability to record and play back user performances. 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 1989 makes it a relatively early PSR model.
