Description

Brings the reality to your performance

The new Oriental Super Articulation Voices reproduce the actual instrument’s unique characteristics such as vibrato, tremolo and more. Other voices have also been enhanced for even greater realism. For example, a new feature called “Mono Legato” allows you to play trill phrases without using the joystick, perfect when playing with Oriental string instrument Voices. The sound system in PSR-A3000 has also been refined, delivering a more powerful and punchy sound than ever before.

Joystick & Live Control function

PSR-A3000 is equipped with a joystick which provides intuitive control of pitch and modulation. Now you can play with rapid trills, dynamic pitch bends and finely-nuanced modulation all from a single, easily-configured, controller.

In addition to essential parameters such as Pitch Bend and Modulation, other features such as Filter, Style Track-Mute and more can be assigned and changed in an instant, making it really easy to add a unique flair to your performance!

Make the Original contents with Yamaha Expansion Manager

Have you ever wanted to play with more than just the preset sounds? You can now create your own original Voices and Drum kits using Yamaha Expansion Manager! Simply use samples from your own library (.wav, .aif, .aiff, .sf2) and edit a range of parameters on your computer using Yamaha Expansion Manager. You can even create and share your own original content with your friends!

You can also choose content from various Expansion Packs and create your own pack selection to install in your instrument.

Add a flavor to your performance with audio feature

If you’re enhancing a live performance with audio backing tracks from your music library, the time stretch, pitch shift, and vocal cancel functions of the USB audio player will add depth and versatility to your performance. You can also connect your Audio player to the Aux input terminal to add an additional element to your performance.
