Yamaha PSR-A5000 Keyboard

Get Inspired by Oriental Sounds and Many Features!

Looking for the perfect oriental sound for your performance? Then the Yamaha PSR-A5000 is the ideal partner for your big show! The most famous and essential instruments of oriental music have been sampled with more care and precision than ever before. They sound in different dynamic layers, innovative playing styles, and are mastered in stereo mix. The Revo! SFX drums feature wave-cycling technology. The Super Articulation! technology allows you to shape instrument-typical playing characteristics and articulations. Thanks to the new voice categories, these can be selected very quickly and easily.

World’s First Samples of the "Istanbul Strings"

The "Istanbul Strings" are among the most popular and successful string orchestras in Turkey. Their distinctive sound has been recorded countless times in national and international music productions. The PSR-A5000 is the first keyboard worldwide to include samples of the "Istanbul Strings".

Drums and Percussion

The expanded drumset functions now include 128 instruments in a single set. Great care was taken in selecting the drumsets to optimize playing oriental rhythms with your fingers on the keyboard. Thanks to the new key-off notes, percussion and drum voices sound especially natural when releasing the key, greatly facilitating individual drum programming. The unique Revo! SFX drums add even more expression and power to the characteristic playing style.

New Crossfade Portamento with Velocity and Time-Related Parameters

The transition speed and velocity of the sequence to be played back are editable, allowing for smooth and expressive transitions between consecutive notes.

New Accompaniment Styles

210 new oriental accompaniment styles with a full and dynamic sound and more power than ever before. Choose the right style from various genres such as Khaleeji (36 styles), Shami (35 styles), Masri (15 styles), Maghrebi (50 styles), Persian (43 styles), and Turkish (31 styles). With the Style Section Reset function, you can reset the rhythm directly to the downbeat at the push of a button. This is very helpful for quick style changes requiring synchronized transitions in your live performance. The oriental styles are also organized into clear categories for quick selection.

Chord Looper

The chord looper lets you record and play back a chord progression. This frees your left hand and opens up new possibilities in your performance. Since the chords loop continuously, you no longer need to play them manually—allowing you to focus on your performance and controlling other parameters.

Control Panel

Scale Tune buttons give you a quick way to change, adjust, and save individual pitches. Choose from a variety of functions for one of the 6 assignable buttons or live control knobs, pedals, or the home shortcut menu, then call up the desired function with a single press. The FSB keyboard is impressively playable thanks to higher key resistance and greater key travel. The 7-inch touch display and new graphical control panel provide intuitive control over the powerful features of this instrument.

Sub Outputs

The PSR-A5000 offers 2 sub outputs that you can use to adapt your sound to different situations. Try routing the bass through a separate subwoofer for a fuller sound, or send the drum instruments to an external console to further shape the sound there.
