Touch-Sensitive Keys Enable Expressive Playing

The PSR-E383's 61 touch-sensitive keys detect how firmly you press them, allowing volume changes based on your touch. Play softly for quiet passages or strike the keys boldly during climactic moments. As you gain experience, touch sensitivity helps you shape phrasing and articulate melodic lines. The lightweight, portable design means you can improve your playing skills anytime, anywhere.

Authentic Instrument Sounds Inspire Your Creativity

With hundreds of lifelike instrument sounds, the PSR-E383 lets you explore music in many styles. Emulate a grand piano, electric piano, harpsichord or pipe organ. Add strings, brass, woodwinds or percussion. There are even guitar, bass and synth sounds for contemporary styles. The Super Articulation Lite voices reproduce details like the squeak of guitar strings or the bend in a saxophone note, making every sound expressive and authentic.

Interactive Learning Tools Provide Guidance

The PSR-E383 includes features tailored for developing musicians. Follow the Keys to Success display to learn songs at your own pace, one hand at a time. Touch Tutor provides visual feedback so you can refine your touch sensitivity. Smart Chord lets you play complex chords with a single finger. Duo mode splits the keyboard for practicing with a teacher or partner. With the PSR-E383's interactive tools, you'll build skills and confidence while having fun.

Accompaniment Styles Add Rhythm and Harmony

The PSR-E383 provides a virtual backing band with its auto accompaniment feature. Select from hundreds of music styles like pop, rock, jazz or Latin, and the keyboard plays rhythm and harmony parts to match. You control the tempo, tone and other elements. Play along with the built-in songs or use the styles to compose your own music. With the PSR-E383, you get the experience of performing with a full ensemble whenever you like.

    This is exactly what everyone needs for frequent practicing and working out ideas. So many voices and beats and functions. This is perfect for anyone from beginners to pros. I keep mine right by my bed for middle of the night inspirations. It's small enough to fit anywhere with plenty of versatility.

    I bought this for my kid and myself. I loved being able to pick up at the store. I don't want a keyboard sitting outside my house after being delivered. This is great sounding and it has a lot of sounds and beats. Even though it has midi I like that I don't need a computer. And I like that it's made by a reputable music company like Yamaha.
