Turn on Your Creative Imagination
With the PSR-1000 you'll feel your musical creativity start to flow
the moment you turn on the keyboard. That's because this keyboard contains
well over seven hundred song-inspiring sounds that are so full and expressive,
you'll swear you're playing the real thing. Beautiful grand pianos,
rich acoustic instruments, sparkling synthesizers and more. When a melody
comes to mind, the PSR-1000 is ready to follow with a fully arranged
accompaniment.
Incredible Music Styles
The PSR-1000 contains a wealth of fully arranged music styles, including
specially designed Pianist Styles, to backup your musical performance.
Yamaha style makers around the world have been working very hard to
create some wonderful new styles for the release of the PSR-1000. Each
style has 3 Intros, Main A/B/C/D variations, and 3 Endings, as well
as four fill-in patterns for added musical expression. You can change
the instrument part settings of any music style, or even create your
own custom styles. Do yourself a favor and go to your local Yamaha dealer
and try some of these incredible new styles.
Superb Digitally Sampled Voices
The PSR-1000 is loaded with well over 700 high-quality AWM (Advanced
Wave Memory) voices including 480 XG voices, a wide variety of drum
kits, and more than 200 amazing panel voices. Also featured is an incredible
sounding Grand Piano voice. And with the 32-note polyphony for the PSR-1000
you can compose complex arrangements without worrying about voices dropping
out of the mix.
Music Finder
Keyboard operation has never been easier! Pressing the Music Finder
button calls up an on-screen selection of songs by title. Simply select
one of your favorite songs and the keyboard is instantly set up and
ready to play. The correct tempo, matching style and appropriate sound(s)
for the melody are just waiting for you to start playing. Take your
music to new heights by inputting your own Music Finder songs. You could
put in your favorite music book so that all you have to do is select
the song and the keyboard is ready to play. This is a great tool for
professionals as well as home hobbyists.
Built-in Floppy Disk Drive
The PSR-1000 is equipped with a floppy disk drive that allows you to
play back MIDI song data in a variety of formats - including SMF 0 and
format 1, DOC, XG, and Disklavier formats - and gives you the benefit
of unlimited
storage for your original musical compositions. The PSR-1000 also features
Quickstart On/Off (MIDI files play immediately after touching Start
button) and Chain Play On/Off (advances to next song and starts playing).
Simultaneous Style & Song Playback
Imagine being able to play a MIDI file and a Style at the same time.
This keyboard has separate controls for song and style playback. The
style will automatically sync to the MIDI file. Maybe you'd like to
try one of your favorite songs with a different rhythm. If you are a
writer, maybe you'd like to try your song with many different styles
to see what it sounds like. If the song has chord data in it (many XG
files contain the chord data or you can input it using the keyboard
or software programs like XGworks), the style will actually follow the
chords in the MIDI file and play a complete instrumental background.
It's unique and different and just one of the cool new features of this
keyboard.

Whether you're an enthusiastic beginner, a serious composer, or anything
in-between, the PSR-1000's 16-track sequencer has the power to release
your musical talent. Arrange up to 16 different instrument parts to
create your own fully orchestrated songs. A variety of recording modes

hands-free operation.
