The touch response keyboard tracks the pressure applied to each key, changing the sound to correspond to that pressure for a more subtle, fluid, piano-style of playing.

Playing piano is fast and easy with Yamaha's Portable Grand function. One dedicated button brings up a great sounding piano, stunningly rich and authentic in its sound as well as setting up the keyboard to play as a piano.

Conventional digital keyboard quickly run out of notes during fast, dense legato passages: sustained notes are cut off as the instrument "steals" notes to make room for new notes. A maximum of up to 32-note can be played at once.

Best sound, widest compatibility. The built-in tone generator handles virtually any MIDI song file--from commercially available music data to songs created on computer or other MIDI instruments. Naturally, it plays back conventional GM song data, but it also is compatible with the enhanced XGlite format, ensuring high sound quality.

A huge palette of acoustic and electronically amplified instrument sounds. A blend of long, stereo and multi-layered samples is used to fully capture the natural presence, resonance, expression and vibrato of the real instrument.

It is a powerful and convenient feature that automatically configures the most appropriate panel settings (voice number, etc.) for the currently selected style, with the touch of a single button.

Yamaha Education Suite (Y.E.S.) is an advanced set of helpful learning tools built into the instrument, letting you teach yourself how to play and perform. Y.E.S. helps you master a song with easy lesson steps. Each lesson can be done in isolation with either your left hand or right hand, or both.

Split mode lets you select different voices for the left- hand and right- hand parts. Dual mode lets you combine any two voices together, such as piano and strings, to create lush timbres. The volume, fine tuning, and transposition can be set individually for each voice within a dual layer or split.

Use the floppy disks drive for unlimited storage of songs in MIDI format, or load commercially-available data for practice.

Full MIDI connectivity makes it easy to connect to other MIDI devices or PCs. Use PC sequencing software, play back songs downloaded from the Internet, move MIDI files to the PC for emailing, and more.
