Product Description:
Performance assistant technology is a feature from Yamaha that guarantees that you can't play a wrong melody note or chord. There are many tools in this keyboard that make it easy to be a power user from the first day you own the keyboard. The keyboard selects an appropriate voice for the right hand melody, the correct musical style and the correct tempo. One Touch Setting (OTS) provides you with a recommended voice with effects for each style. Set the keyboard up just the way you like and take a digital snapshot by memorizing it to one of the Registration buttons. Load and save up to 16 Registrations to User memory. The Registration buttons are conveniently located just above the keyboard. You can change the arrangement of songs by simply pressing the Easy Song Arranger button, allowing you to re-mix any MIDI file.
The YPT-400 comes with 30 built-in songs plus 70 more on an included CD-ROM and an interactive lesson system, divided into left and right hand parts, for learning them.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Yamaha Electric Keyboard
This was a gift for our grandson's 16th birthday. By all reports from him, it is an excellent purchase.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - great except touch sensitive keys not sensitive enough
I am an adult who took piano for a year as a kid and am now taking lessons again. This keyboard has been great for me, as it is small and has good sound. I appreciate that I can plug in earphones or turn the volume way down if I don't want everyone else to have to listen to me practicing. Except for the built in metronome, I have not used any of the extra "features" and honestly would prefer that there just be fewer buttons, but that's a silly complaint. The one thing that really bothers me is ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Amazing Keyboard
An amazing keyboard for it's price!!! The Grand Feature feels awesome!!! I bought this for my husband for Christmas, unfortunatley it arrived in the manufacturers box, so surprise spoiled. Not Amazon's Fault! Anyway,
he hasn't been able to stop playing since it arrived. The clear sound, sounds like it is connected to an amp.. Amazing features! Great item to own for it's price!!!! Definately recomend this product!!!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - download specs misleading
I bought a YPT-400. I wanted primarily to play along with downloaded songs. When I got to the 12th downloaded song it would not take the 13th song. After back and forth with Yamaha, apparently I was out of memory, making the specs and also the specs re downloaded songs here and in the manual misleading at best. Otherwise, it is a great instrument for the price.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best price-performance-features incl. USB-MIDI, General MIDI
Yamaha YPT-400 has USB-MIDI

I bought the Yamaha YPT-400 too and using a regular USB cable I was able to:
(a) add/subtract songs (.mid files) from a WinXP computer.
(b) use the USB-MIDI feature...play the PYT-400 as a MIDI keyboard & play/record on computer using any 3rd party MIDI software (I used Voyetra Teach Me Piano Deluxe).
- the USB-MIDI keyboard is seen as "Yamaha Portatone-1" using "General MIDI" by such MIDI software on the computer.

I used ... Read More
