Synthesizer Yamaha PSR-E473

Yamaha PSR-E473

A revolution in portable music

The touch-sensitive keyboard and powerful sound engine of the PSR-E473 bring together superb sound and great feel in an all-new portable instrument.

Sound like a pro!

The PSR-E473 delivers the same pro-quality sound found in high-end models. They’re loaded with augmented effects and a wide range of Styles—from the latest hits to genres from around the world.

Express yourself

Yamaha revamped the control panel and LCD, phased out the numeric keypad, and added Direct Category Access buttons.

The optimized control panel makes it quick and easy to access Voices, Styles and functions so that you can focus your time on being creative.

With dedicated buttons, Quick Sampling, and innovative Motion Effect functionality, you can intuitively express the sounds you're hearing in your head.

Connect and share

A variety of connectivity options provide all the support you need for practicing, playing, and performing. Plug in a microphone to try your hand at singing while playing, use the Rec'n'Share app to share your music with the world, and hook into PA systems to perform on stage.

820 Voices

The PSR-E473 expands on previous generations with an increased internal storage capacity that allows Yamaha to provide more, higher-resolution instrument Voices. Enjoy 820 realistic, expressive instrument sounds from here and around the world with pro-level sound quality.

Super Articulation Lite

The PSR-E473 is equipped with Super Articulation Lite, a function that realistically simulates the distinct ways each instrument is played—for example, the scratch sound of a distorted electric guitar or the harmonics of a nylon-string guitar.

290 Styles

Choose from 290 automatic accompaniment Styles including rock, dance, and jazz as well a wide range of musical genres from around the world. Experience the thrill of playing in your very own band as the Styles respond to your left hand with just the right rhythms, bass, and chords.

DSP effects

The PSR-E473 is one of the only models in the PSR-E series to feature two channels for insertion effects. Equipped with the latest LSI tone generator, this instrument delivers high-quality effects previously available only with high-end models.

Live Control Knobs

The two Live Control Knobs make it easy to manipulate and interact with the sound you produce as you play. The ability to set the filter cutoff frequency to change the brightness of the sound and control effects in real time helps bring your performances to life.

Motion Effect

The Motion Effect function lets you instantly add effects while you play that can morph the sound with a filter, create pitch risers, add tape stop effects & slices, or other new dynamic sound effects. All by simply holding down the button!

Groove Creator

With Groove Creator, buttons and knobs are all you need to create contemporary electronic music and sound like a pro.

Quick Sampling

Capture sound from outside of your instrument using the AUX input, microphone input or even by importing files from a USB storage device, and then play those sounds directly from your keyboard. The possibilities are endless!

Mic Input & Vocal Effect

Connect a microphone and sing along with your playing while using built-in studio-quality vocal effects, giving you everything you need for a pro-sounding performance.

USB Audio Recording/Interface

Use the USB To Device port to record and play back audio files of your music from USB flash drives.

Use the USB To Host port to send and receive audio and MIDI data to and from computers and smart devices with studio-quality.

Rec'n'Share

Use the Rec'n'Share app to connect your instrument to a smart device, and then create and share audio and video recordings of you playing along with your favorite songs.

Individual L/R output

The PSR-E473 comes equipped with left and right audio outputs that allow you to easily connect to PA systems and studio equipment - separate from the headphone jack.

Mega Boost

Press the Mega Boost button to add +6dB of powerful volume!

This function adds 6dB to the apparent volume set by the volume knob. Adding a boost to the instrument's speaker volume allows you to play with others or be heard above the crowd, even without a PA system.
