Synthesizer Yamaha EZ-300

Yamaha EZ-300

Yamaha EZ-300 is a 61-key, touch-sensitive keyboard – specially equipped with lighting keys, and designed as an entry portable keyboard model for the first-time players. Stylish and comprehensive, it allows you to practice, play and perform with a variety of lesson functions and authentic instrument sounds.

Just play the lighted keys and get beautiful music – naturally and effortlessly. It’s easy to get started and have fun practicing and playing. And if you want to improve your skills, practice at your own pace with the three Lesson functions. Work on the right and left-hand parts separately, and even break the song up into separate sections for repeated practice. The lighting keys guide you throughout, helping you enjoy playing – even if you don't read music.

The EZ-300 includes 202 built-in Songs that the whole family will enjoy. With popular hits and famous songs that you’ve heard and want to play on the piano – from pop songs, children's songs, classics, and more. You can have fun playing along with the song or simply listen to it playing automatically. Connect your computer to the EZ-300 to add even more of your favorites. The EZ-300 features a total of 622 built-in instrument sounds (called Voices). Included with these are special “Live” Voices, which feature actual recorded samples from a grand piano, strings and brass. You can play a huge variety of authentic musical instruments and perform with an amazingly full sound – all with a single keyboard. In addition, the Touch Response function lets you expressively control the loudness by how strongly or softly you play the keys—helping you become familiar with the music as you express yourself, all while having fun with the Auto Accompaniment functions and various effects.

A built-in speaker system delivers a clear sound, while the headphone output provides for private practice or playing. The 3.5mm aux input lets you connect your phone/tablet or music player and play along with your favorite songs. You can also use the Melody-Suppressor function to practice the melody part along with the audio playback. The EZ-300 USB to Host port enables you to send USB MIDI and USB audio signals straight into your computer/DAW or smartphone for recording your music and performances. Compact and lightweight, the EZ-300 is incredibly portable. It runs up to 5 hours on 6 AA batteries or can be powered from a PA-130 AC adapter (batteries and adapter available separately).
