Yamaha PSR-E483 61-Key Portable Keyboard

The Yamaha PSR-E483 61-Key Portable Keyboard is a versatile and feature-packed portable keyboard designed for developing musicians, intermediate players, home practice, songwriting, live performance and music production. Combining a 61-key touch-responsive keyboard with 860 high-quality Voices, 345 accompaniment Styles, built-in effects, a looper, quick sampling, USB audio and MIDI connectivity, the PSR-E483 gives you everything you need to explore arranger keyboard performance and develop your musical creativity.

Whether you're learning piano and keyboard, writing songs, practising with automatic accompaniment or performing live, the Yamaha PSR-E483 provides an impressive range of sounds and functions in a portable 7kg package.

61 Touch-Responsive Keys

The PSR-E483 features 61 organ-style, semi-weighted keys with adjustable Touch Response. Choose from Soft, Medium, Hard or Off settings to tailor the keyboard's response to your playing style.

The touch-sensitive keyboard allows you to control dynamics by varying how firmly you play, making it suitable for expressive piano playing as well as synthesiser, organ, guitar, brass and other instrument Voices.

A Pitch Bend wheel provides additional expressive control, particularly useful for guitar, brass and synthesiser sounds.

860 Voices for Endless Musical Possibilities

With an impressive 860 built-in Voices, the Yamaha PSR-E483 gives you a huge range of instruments to explore. Voices include acoustic and electric pianos, organs, guitars, basses, strings, brass, woodwind, percussion, synthesiser sounds and much more.

The keyboard also includes 15 Super Articulation Lite Voices, which reproduce characteristic details of acoustic instruments, such as guitar string noises and wind-instrument breath sounds, helping performances feel more realistic.

Yamaha's AWM Stereo Sampling technology provides high-quality sampled instrument sounds, while XGlite and GM compatibility make the keyboard suitable for MIDI playback and music production.

345 Automatic Accompaniment Styles

The PSR-E483 is an arranger keyboard at heart, with 345 built-in accompaniment Styles covering a huge range of musical genres.

Play chords with your left hand and the keyboard automatically generates complementary rhythm, bass and chord accompaniment, allowing you to create fuller arrangements while you play the melody or solo with your right hand.

With Multi Finger and Smart Chord fingering, One Touch Setting, Intro, Ending, Main A/B, Sync Start and other Style controls, you can build complete arrangements without needing a full band.

The PSR-E483 also features Auto Chord Play, with 100 preset chord progressions plus 10 user chord progressions, providing an easy way to experiment with arrangements and musical ideas.

Built-In Effects and Sound Processing

Give your Voices extra character with a comprehensive selection of built-in effects. The PSR-E483 includes:

• 41 DSP1 effect types
• 12 DSP2 effect types
• 57 Motion Effect types
• 15 Reverb types
• 7 Chorus types
• 5 Master EQ types
• 26 Harmony/Echo types
• 164 Arpeggio types

These effects provide plenty of scope for shaping sounds, creating movement and adding depth to performances.

Looper for Practice and Performance

The built-in Looper lets you record chord progressions, drum patterns and musical phrases and then play them back repeatedly. This makes it particularly useful for practising solos, developing arrangements, experimenting with melodies or creating layered performances.

The looper allows you to build musical ideas without requiring additional recording equipment.

Quick Sampling

The PSR-E483 also features Quick Sampling, allowing you to capture short audio samples and trigger them from the keyboard.

You can record up to four samples, with sampling sources including the AUX input, microphone input, USB audio interface and WAV files. Samples can be used as one-shot or looped sounds, with approximately 9.6 seconds of sampling time available.

USB Audio and MIDI Connectivity

Connect the PSR-E483 to a computer or compatible smart device via USB-C for audio and MIDI connectivity. This makes the keyboard suitable for home recording, music production, songwriting, streaming and educational applications.

The built-in USB audio interface supports 44.1kHz, 16-bit stereo audio, allowing the PSR-E483 to work as both a keyboard controller and an audio source.

The keyboard also provides USB Type-A connectivity for compatible USB flash drives and data storage.

Microphone Input and Vocal Effects

The PSR-E483 includes a dedicated microphone input, allowing you to connect a microphone and sing or speak through the keyboard's sound system.

Built-in vocal processing and effects provide additional flexibility for singing, performances and creative experimentation.

Powerful Onboard Sound System

Despite its portable design, the PSR-E483 features a built-in stereo speaker system with two 12cm speakers powered by 6W + 6W amplifiers.

Yamaha's Mega Boost function provides two additional volume settings, offering approximately +3dB or +6dB of extra output when you need more volume from the onboard speakers.

For connecting to external amplification, PA systems or studio equipment, the keyboard features dedicated Left/Left+Right and Right line outputs.

Registration Memory

Save your favourite Voice, Style and panel settings using the Registration Memory system. Four registration buttons across eight banks provide 32 registration memories, allowing you to recall different setups quickly during practice or live performance.

The Freeze function helps prevent selected parameters from changing when you recall another registration.
