Have it about 2 Months, great Keyboard for the Price , 820 Voices, 290 Styles, Loudness Boost, Mikrophon, Samples easy, Transpose, Harmony Apregio, Groove Creator, Polyphonie 64, Pitch Bend, i love it 😍😍
It would be perfect keyboard if it could hold the sound of split voice without keys keep pressed (violin, strings e.t.c) and also button to fast switch between styles variation without fill-in. My 30 years old Roland E16 can.
I love the new features and sounds😇
Super exciting keyboard. Looking forward to getting one soon.
I love the way you play the keyboard meaning your not trying to do what I know you can do but you just play with it like I would play with it. It shows the potential this machine can do even for a beginner. It shows how you can be creative. All so you guys explain your products in laymen's terms. You sold me. This is the best deal I've come across for the price. I had a Yamaha 540 and it was great for 700$ in the 80s. This machine's quality is as good as my Yamaha but much lower in price. I'm ordering mine payday! Thanks guys
I've seen this Keyboard at Guitar Center. The way it sounds. It reminds me of the Classic Yamaha DX7
Thanks for this review... i've just got one, here down south of Brazil. I'm a newbie in keys, but looking forward to begin improving my compositions, and making my own arrangements!
awesome video ! And awesome playing!
I personally plan on learning on simply piano an then eventually creating some music that I can sing too.
Great review. That's Rocket Man at about 7:51 - and in the end, too! ; )
I've had a PSR-E363 for several years now and have been wanting to upgrade as I feel I've reached the limit of it, but I don't want to spend a lot of money doing that. The E473 is JUST what I need. It has several more features then the E363, and is very reasonably priced. Thank you so much for the review.
This keyboard is so damn popular and in short supply that I have one on backorder now for over a month. Hopefully in November I can post a review.
Very nice, and thank you for the demo! Although it's dated, I still love my PSR-5700 with the 8 track sequencer, which was the top of the line of the PSR keyboards during its run. I still have Yamaha's MU80 and they go great together. 🎶
I love mine, It has such a beautiful sound compared to other makes and even older versions. I had Yamaha for years and when I saw this one I fell in love with it. I also bought a keyboard for £44 in a sale just to fiddle about. The sound isn`t nearly as good as PSR-E473 obviously.But I take the PSR-E473 a lot more seriously.
Got one for my daughter last week. Outstanding value for the money. Best in the category (in my opinion, EK50 stands second to this). Latest market release.
Thank you for such a clear and interesting presentation of this keyboard. The choice is whether to get this one or the 76 key version, the 425
I bought one and I love it
wow i need this
For the price - I think everyone should own one. If you know nothing about music - you'll "get into it" Great learning tool. if you play a piano, great for practice and general fun. If you have a home studio -and other keyboards, you'll still want one. I play guitar , now I want to learn piano too .
I've had one of these for 6 years. Don't know how new it is. Great machine tho. The accompaniment is it's best feature. Very responsive,,very tight.
Excellent
Awesome keyboard 😃!!!!!
Adding a microphone is pretty awesome for laying down a quick track. Since the voice an instrument are usually a mode for creativity. I'm hoping of going for the mx61.
Hi please tell me what kind mic do you use for this and do you plug in from back or do you need computer & software? Thanks
I love the piano, quality much higher.
This really does sound like a mini home/portable studio that anyone could have more than anything right now. All in one music creator machine right here. Super highly recommend it for any novice that wants to learn music and just play music for fun.
Just bought my dad it. Its aeeiving tomorrow and he has no clue 😂
Just to note: Yes, this keyboard comes with a power supply. 👍
That was another question I had.
Excellent comment I remember buying power supplies separately back in the day. Glad its included
Cool 😎
Got my keyboard a few weeks ago. Just 3 issues with it. I can export my compositions (Export SMF files) which then appear on my memory stick as MID files, but there is no way that you can load the MID files back in. Also, the headphone jack would have been better positioned on the front of the keyboard down from the pitch wheel for example and not at the back. Same goes for the USB port. Being portable, it can run on 6 AA batteries or rechargeable batteries which the keyboard can charge up when mains powered, it defaults to alkaline in the menu. Out of 10, I'd give this 8.5 for its features and superb sound.
I like to create my own songs and I would love to see demonstrations of how to use different drum beats, rock beats, swing, Motown , funk, 3/4. Intros fills endings. Thank you.
great video. can the 4 pads be used for "finger drumming" in a DAW, when connected to a PC as midi controller?
It is true that the usb cable allows to record audio signal as well and not only the midi signaL?
Thanks
Luca
Great 👍
Hello guys! I am looking for a Yamaha keyboard that I can play piano on left hand and split to having strings on the right hand side. Also would love choir voicing on too. Thanks for the Demo on the E-473. Nice playing also!
u can split most Yamaha keyboard
Hi, I bought the PSR473. I love the Hawaii music. The keyboard also has a very good style (214), but unfortunately no voice for a Hawaii guitar. This is a pity. Do you know a way to generate a Hawaiisound?
Hello ..... thank you for your great effort with this tutorial, I've just got this keyboard, but I'm unable to find out how to normalize the left side with the right side (one voice) to play chords with accompaniments on both sides as I have in my PSR s500, for example, I would play the chords on the right side and it would normally sound with the accompaniments with the rhythms , and I can't get this to work on e473, I don't like the smart chord and it seems there is only 2 options of "multi" and "smart chord", is there a way to turn them both off? .... thanks a lot
Does the transpose feature show the key in the led screen as you press to change the key?so you know what key you are in?
I agree these are insane value for the money. However i think that Yamaha could have taken this to the next level. A portamento button, 128 registration slots, ability to play samples chromatically on the keyboard, a button to turn on DSP1, 8x2 pads that can trigger samples, phrases or drums and a simple sequencer. They could put all these in and charge 100 dollars extra and people will gladly purchase it
Can t be better than Genos. :-)
And also truly improve the other very aging sounds. New electric guitars, strings, woodwinds, organ, synths or all the voices from Tyros 2 and 3. If the next PSRE will have this, many people would buy it.
@@4scheveningenit’s not meant to be 🤦🏼♂️
Hi Can you just manually enter voices on the fly like just punch in desired voice number instead of using fly wheel or number patches? Thanks
Still got the psr 3000 great harmony machine. Is psr 473 latest much better than
Need a comparison video for Casio CTX 870 vs. Yamaha PSR E373?
What is the best bag for this keyboard?
I decided to buy the PSR-E473. After switching from ancient psr-270 I must say that the quality of the new one is overwhelming
Play a sample on YT ?
Between PSR yamaha and Yamaha E473, which one is better
I wish it has a bigger screen.
Hey is the issue of the screen sorted out already
Does it support Indian styles through flash drive ???
IT would sound beautiful coming through my 20 inch speakers !!! Unfortunately not everyone can afford anything on a severely fixed low income ✌️
16:12 I wish you had made a close-up of that.
Reminds me of yamaha DGX 670 88 KEYS with added gaggets in cost less monies 😅
Is there any way on how to save the sustain (m.releas) even after switching it off?
Csn you play usb mp or wave backings or just aux in for cd or usb play
Ok I've had a PSR S910 and that has been an awesome keyboard in terms of sound , articulation, expression, inputs outputs mic, vocoder, and so much more. Unfortunately, the keys on the rythm section no longer make good contact and one key tends to scream a bit when you press it too hard or too fast. I am looking to upgrade. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Buy a DGX670 or a SX600, SX900.
Yamaha psr e473 or roland xps 10? which is better?
I'm looking for a keyboard. I think this keyboard would be perfect for me. And, the music store in my city has a few of them. $500 Canadian. I want a Keyboard for the long winter that's coming :)
Can I record and mixed tracks on this keyboard because I compose songs and beats.
is it the screen display problem of psre473 already solve..?
Where do I buy this if I’m in Oregon
Does this one have a transpose button
Hey this Joshua from Uganda . I would like to know how to use memory bank of PSR 473 cause this challenging ,it not like 463 how do I set it please help me.
Hello
Can you help me PLEASE 🙏
My question:
How I can use loop function on Yamaha psr e 473 from tones and styles?
It is said on manual that loop to pad possible from microphone, audio or USB.
But I need make loop from keyboard itself from tones or styles.
Please help me.
Thank you
They removed number button, it is hard to find voices or styles just using potentiometer.
Here's an important question : Was this demo demonstrating the on-board speakers or were you running the signal out to external speakers ? Sounds too good to be on-board and I noticed the wires in the back of unit
The speakers are pretty nice. Clear and loud enough to annoy my roommate. 😂
I have seen other videos on TH-cam demonstrating the built in speakers.
Please How can you use this 473 to produce?
Does it have Indian sound, especially harmonium?
I’m stuck between this and Casio Wak 6600
how do you get piano/string combination?
Does it have a Sequencer?
I have placed order for one, but now I am seeing many E473 users reporting LCD display fading problem. Jeremy See has a video on his TH-cam channel regarding this problem with E473. Amazon reviews also had few people reporting this issue. I am not sure whether I made the right purchase or not.
Seen on Jeremy See YT channel that problem is fixed and new batches are ok.
Yes, I own one and the fading display started to annoy me , I'm in touch with the the company I purchased the keyboard and waiting to hear if they have a solution for me.
Why get the 473 vs the 373?
What about video on Yamaha PSR EW 425 features is it good or not?
Its the same keyboard. Only the 425 is 76 keys
I paid 2000 aust dollars for psr 3000 around year 2000
The headphones turn off at random times. Rebooting doesn’t solve the problem. You’ve got to wait a random time to get the headphone output back. And the pitch wheel sucks utterly. I do however love the way it sounds.
Any other keyboards at under $400 you might recommend over the 473?
EK50
Can you hit some keys, like when you play something, but with the Yamaha switched off? With a microphone on you or on (or over) keyboard.
I want to hear if the keys make the known from the past annoying mechanical clunk clunk noise like PSR-E363.
You can find the video about it in TH-cam searching the title: YAMAHA PSR-E 363 Digital Keyboard keys mechanical noise. There you will hear what I mean.
I just wish it had better midi facility
I know absolutely nothing about pianos. I can only play saxophone but I reallllyyy wanna self teach piano. how hard is it
Hard 😊
I've owned old PSRs before like the 300 decades ago. I sadly must say that watching the functions on this supposedly modern PSR keyboard, it still has the same old accompaniments and the same old drum sounds. This comes from Japan. In Asia they seem to be stuck in a time warp of the 1970s cheesy wedding karaoke music. Today especially younger people want a modern piano at a good price point. But, Yamaha just releases the old stuff and gives it a new name as if we won't realize they are doing that. I would only buy this piano for the following reason. It's onboard deep FM sound processor is worth the price. Just record your music outside of this piano. Then, with an audio interface play the recorded music from like a DAW into this piano to make a new recording by using a quarter inch jack to quarter inch jack cable. Now load the new 2nd recording to the flash drive provided with this PSR and transfer the file from the flash into your computer. That way you take advantage of this PSR's ability to make your music sound thicker and more professional. But careful jacking up the PSR reverb because it will muddy your recordings bass sound. Or just do what the TH-cam channel ExclusiveLM does. He records incredible instrumentals that sound professional just using plug-ins in his computer. In that case any piano with midi would sound great if you know how to mix music editing and not have a piano do that for you.
Did I make a mistake ordering this? I keep hearing reference that are sort of “Great for kids.” I ordered one of these for a practice keyboard so I don’t have to lug one of my high end performing keyboards out of my van and lug it upstairs to my music room. I play out professionally every week so it gets tiring unpacking/packing and lugging a keyboard up and down the steps. I want something at the ready I can play all the time. But all these references to 8 and 12 year old kids…I am starting to think I made a mistake and since the board is not in stock am wondering if I should cancel the order.
I would cancel. this keyboard seams like its for children. If you want something semi portable then you should consider a yamaha p125.

People keep bashing this keyboard to some other reviews
But they forget one thing If you wanna more of your keyboard then you need to pay more
On the other hand this is the best by far value for money keyboard any one can get for only 300 dollars
It has some great pro features
Great sq
Great speakers
Great styles to play along and even compose music
Great presets specially the strings sound
Great piano sq
If you are a begginer this keyboard is a must
I remember back in 1990 we had music lessons in my school I was going to it was a private school and we had to get a keyboard which that time costed 500 dollars in todays rate
And I still have it and it had the half of features. This keyboard have and most of all the piano sucked
So go and get it unless you are a Casio fan only 😊
Now as I said if you want more pro sound ,and capabilities then Yamaha Genos is for you
But not ev can spent 2000 dollars for a keyboard or 1500 the least
Period
😊
People keep bashing this keyboard because its almost just as terrible as any other PSREs. The improvements were almost zero. Were in the modern times yet they still recycles the same shitty 90s voices. The electric guitars and other voices are annoying and so terrible! The other measly new "Super Articulation Lite" voices were muffled and low resolution. Cheap doesn't mean it has to be terrible and trashy. It should come with better sound quality. They should make it decent. Memory is cheap.
I'm concerned that the LCD appears not to be lighted.
Seen on Jeremy See YT channel that problem is fixed and new batches are ok.
"...they even have a climax button, even though I couldn't get it to work..."
You can use it together with the groove creator.
where is country rhythm on yamaha ew 425 keyboard piano
Is this something that would be too feature rich and overwhelming for someone with no experience with keyboards and no musical experience but wanting to learn?
no... its very simple! i think yamaha are most beginer friendly
Hi, why Yamaha e473 is unable to record the wah effect? examples, EP 022, Guitar 081, Synth 207. It records them without the Wah effect. any solutions? Thanks
Oh Also I forgot ask, Did you say it has a Rhodes sound also on the E-473/ thanks.
No shame, I hear a lot of people have trouble with climax action.
You guys missed One Man Band!
I just bought one in Guitar Center for 349.00 and now I'm starting to regret it, compare to the Korg ek-50 at 499.00 .... The korg is miles ahead of this keyboard..
0:08
Returned the korg ek 50 weak volume in speakers and headphones. E473 better. Also lcd screen issue fixed oct.2022
Pity for no pack memory. Essential for modern EDM!
Can t google AI invent a setting which opens a music only position - all the skipping is so time costing
Che cazz accatt a fa na tastiera se parlano delle caratteristiche solo in inglese? 👎
Just once I wish somebody on TH-cam would make a video that would help me with what I want to know about Yamaha psre 473 keyboard I need somebody to run through each and every one of their drum beats their own for a few measures. So I can see if they have a change from the last Yamaha keyboards that I bought. I do not want to buy another Yamaha Keyboard with the same drum beats I want something new to work with I wish someone please do that for me I would appreciate it
Why not just go to guitar center and try it yourself
