Yamaha PSR-A350 Oriental Keyboard Starter Set

Dive Into the World of Oriental Music!

As the successor to the legendary PSR-A300, the PSR-A350 is Yamaha's new keyboard for performing oriental music! Musicians looking for an instrument for authentic oriental sounds will appreciate the PSR-A350's extensive features and realistic tone.

Compared with its predecessor (PSR-A300), the PSR-A350 uses significantly improved samples for many voices. The speaker system has also been revised to deliver more power. The end result is a substantially enhanced sound: punchy and even more realistic.

Wide Variety of High-Quality Voices, Styles and Arpeggios

The PSR-A350 offers a wide variety of high-quality voices, accompaniment styles and arpeggios with a focus on oriental music. Many of these fantastic sounds come from top models such as the renowned PSR-A2000/3000.

Arabic, Maghreb, Khaligi, Iranian, Turkish and Greek — all that and much more is at your disposal: a total of 613 high-quality voices are included, among them 1 Sweet! Voice, 3 Cool! Voices and 3 Dynamic Voices, 45 Oriental Voices and 19 Oriental Drum Kits, 210 accompaniment styles including 115 oriental styles (26 Arabic, 25 Khaligi, 11 Maghrebi, 23 Iranian, 20 Turkish and 10 Greek styles) as well as 150 arpeggiators (including 5 oriental).

Direct Access to Scales With Memory Function and Pitch Bend Wheel

The Scale Setting button gives you direct access to the instrument's tuning settings. You can create custom tunings by adjusting each of the 12 steps individually. It's fast enough to do even while you're playing.

The Scale Tune Memory function lets you store your settings and recall them anytime. The Pitch Bend wheel gives you full real-time control over your playing, allowing you to add expressive nuance.

USB TO HOST and 10 User Banks for Styles

Via the USB TO HOST jack you can connect your keyboard to a computer to transfer data. 10 style user slots let you load and save external styles. Optionally, you can also connect an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad to explore extended MIDI functions via apps.

Audio Aux In and Melody Suppressor Function

Connect an external audio player to the AUX In jack and you can accompany your favorite tracks. The built-in, enhanced Melody Suppressor reduces the volume of vocals and melody lines in original recordings — the spotlight is now yours. The PSR-A350 features a Master EQ that gives you control to shape the exact sound you want.

Handy Practice and Learning Features

The 2-track recorder helps you practice efficiently, while Duo mode splits the keyboard into two identical zones. This is useful for live performance and teaching when two players want to play together.

The PSR-A350 supports the Yamaha Education Suite, a nine-step learning system: three steps for the left hand, three for the right hand and three for both hands together. It shows notation on the display and makes practicing fun and effective. The "Waiting" function automatically adjusts the tempo to the player until the correct key is found.
