Yamaha’s precise Touch Response keyboard lets you express yourself like a pro

Expression is a key factor in truly mastering keyboard performance. From a light touch to a firm, more aggressive style, the PSR-I400’s Touch Response keyboard captures your expression perfectly. Yamaha’s Touch Response keyboards have been recognized and certified by the world-famous Trinity Music College of London.

World-renowned Yamaha quality that lasts

Yamaha has a long history of strict quality control after decades of dedication to world class quality and durability. The PSR-I400 is produced in a new Yamaha factory in India that began operations in 2019 using the same quality control guidelines as other Yamaha factories. There, the new PSR has undergone a variety of durability tests ranging from exposure to extreme temperatures and humidity, to dropping the keyboards and pressing the keys aggressively over extended periods of time. As a result, the PSR-I400 is durable enough to sound great for many years to come.

Save time and focus on practice with Registration Memory’s stored settings

The Registration Memory function allows users to conveniently recall previously stored settings (Voices/Styles/Effects, etc.) with the push of a button. This is particularly useful for children and beginners when recalling registration files prepared by their teacher, allowing them to start practicing without wasting any time.

Pitch bend wheel for authentic performance

The pitch bend wheel allows you to emulate the note-bending technique that is essential when performing with Indian musical instruments. Try using it to achieve more realistic performances with instruments such as the Sitar, Violin, Saxophone, Mandolin, Bass, Tabla, and Sarod.
