PSR-E473
The PSR-E400 series is an excellent all-round 61-key keyboard that is ideal as a starter instrument but also represents a robust alternative for experienced players. The latest PSR-E473 features a newly developed tone generator that delivers stunning improvements in sound quality as well as high quality effects such as delays.
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.

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.
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.
World content
Enjoy Voices and Styles that enable you to emulate music from anywhere around the world. No matter what Style you enjoy, it is loyal and authentic to the country or region where that genre originated.
DSP effects

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.
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.
Direct Category Access
Yamaha added Direct Category Access buttons to the user interface. Push the buttons for instantaneous access to the Voices and Styles you need for the musical genre of your choice.
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.
Pitch bend wheel
Moving the pitch bend wheel up or down changes the note you're playing smoothly, bringing instrument Voices like guitars, sax and trumpet and synthesizers to life, widening your range of expression.
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!
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.
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 headphones jack.

Split the keyboard wherever you like and assign different Voices to each side to enjoy playing one Voice on the left side and another on the right at the same time.
Dual/Layers
Layer two different instrument Voices to create limitless combinations that result in original, thicker, and broader sound.
Arpeggio function
Simply hold the keys of your desired chords, and the keyboard automatically produces corresponding arpeggios (broken chords). You can use the arpeggiator to add exciting musical elements to your producing and performances. For example, play a major triad to make the arpeggiator produce phrase-like combinations of those three notes.

Yamaha PSRE473 Keyboard reviews
Yamaha PSRE473 Keyboard
Compared to my previous Yamaha keyboard it's a fantastic improvement.
Keysouds were highly professional, knowledgeable and helpful.
Since my purchase I have returned to the shop for some tuition on how to use some of the features.
Yamaha PSRE473 Keyboard
Excellent
Yamaha PSRE473 Keyboard
My son lost his keyboard in a flood and borrowed a Yamaha a PSRe 403 from his school. This keyboard suited his needs well so we researched the Yamaha PSRe 473 and thought it would be the ideal replacement, which it turned out to be just that and more. Excellent sounds and all the features he needs. We travelled all the way from Lincoln to Keysound in Hinkley to pick it up, the long trip was well worth the effort Steve and his wife were brilliant easy to talk to and Steve demonstrated some more elaborate keyboards which are phenomenal and gave my son something to think about for the future and inspired him to save his pocket money for his next keyboard. Thank you Steve and his wife for excellent service.
