A question about Yamaha PSR-540 and PSR-340

Post by Salem Derisa » Sat, 02 Feb 2002 07:58:44



Hello,
   I've recently decided to get a keyboard to start improving my
playing skills. After shopping around and reading very useful reviews
on this and other newsgroups I am now almost sure I will buy a Yamaha
PSR-540.

   Unfortunately I couldn't find a place where I can hear both PSR-540
and PSR-340. The only concern I have is that PSR-340 has a "Portable
Grand" button that apparently prepares all the settings for a good
grand piano sound. Now my question is : is PSR-540 able to generate
piano sound with at least the same quality as PSR-340 by adjusting the
appropriate settings or "Portable Grand" is a "real" feature that is
something more than just setting adjustment, e.g. more wave ROM?

   I also couldn't try PSR-540 and PSRGX76 at the same place. Since I
still can't hear the subtle differences in the sounds, I had trouble
comparing their piano sounds. Does anybody have any experience about
comparing the voice quality (esp. grand piano) of these two keyboards?

Thanks a lot for your time.

Regards,

I have a PSR-640 It doesnt have the Portable Grand button but the Grand Piano
sound is very lifelike.
I have been told by friends in the business that Yamaha has one of the best
piano sounds of all. If you don't like the piano you cam always use a different
sound font. if you can scratch up a little more cash the PSR 740 is the way to
go. Im gonna upgrade myself soon.
Good Luck

 
 
 

1. Yamaha PSR-540 Keyboard Color?

Help! I am interested in purchasing a Yamaha PSR-540 keyboard but just
found out that it comes in two models: silver and purplish-blue, and silver
and black. Can anyone tell me how to find the silver and black model, or let
me know what part number it would be? This model has XG, pitch bend, a 16
track sequencer, and a disk drive but that silver and purplish-blue color
has to go!!!

Thanks....

Jeff
