An affordable keyboard with training wheels for new players.

A truly affordable portable keyboard that also doubles as your own personal music teacher, the YPT-200 offers it all”134 voices, 100 accompaniment styles, Yamaha Education Suite, Portable Grand, General MIDI, and more.

Yamaha Education Suite (Y.E.S.5)
The YPT-200 features 102 built-in songs for you to learn to play using Y.E.S.5. The songs are separated into left and right hand parts, providing 7 levels of lessons plus a convenient chord dictionary. These keyboard lessons are split into 3 for each hand:
¢LISTEN & LEARN helps you figure out the melody or rhythm of a selected song.
¢TIMING mode allows you to play the melody or chord by pressing any key using the correct timing.
¢WAITING mode stops the playback of a song until you find the correct note and then continues.

The Y.E.S. system also features Lesson Grading which monitors your progress and provides feedback as you practice lessons two and three, and Chord Dictionary which shows you how to play chords, telling you which chords you're playing by displaying the notes and chord name on the LCD screen.

Portable Grand
With the YPT-200 you're only a button away from playing an incredible sounding grand piano. Yamaha digitally sampled their own world-renowned grand pianos to bring the rich, full tones to your portable keyboard. They are perfect for practice, or just enjoying the warmth and clarity that a Yamaha grand piano is famous for.

General MIDI (GM) Compatible/MIDI IN and OUT for Computer Connectivity
Enjoy the information superhighway on a whole new level. MIDI is the path between your keyboard and the Internet. With GM you have access to thousands of MIDI song files on the internet, which you can then learn.

Voices
The YPT-200 features 134 General MIDI compatible voices for you to choose from. Besides the Portable Grand, you'll find a virtual orchestra at your fingertips”trumpets, violins, drums, even a choir. Rather rock out? It has guitars, bass, and drum kits, too.

Auto Accompaniment Styles
Can't decide? The YPT-200 has a built-in auto-accompaniment feature. Just select a style”there are 100 to choose from”then play a note or chord on the left side of the keyboard and play your melody on the right side. The keyboard will create a backup band and follow you through the song. Have a blast experimenting with different styles. Find out how Mozart would sound as a disco star with the simple push of a button.

Polyphony and Multi-Timbrel
Polyphony is the number of sounds a keyboard can make at the same time. Obviously, more is better. However, more sounds means more memory. Many keyboards at this price point only offer 12-note polyphony, but the YPT-200 offers 32 notes of polyphony and will play back 32 different parts or sounds at once (16-part multi-timbrel). That's enough for even the most demanding piece.

The Little things that Count:
Real Stereo Speakers: Just because a keyboard has two speakers doesn't mean that they're truly stereo speakers. However, each of the speakers in the YPT-200 has separate amplifiers with stereo-sampling technology.
Metronome: Keep the beat with the built-in, fully adjustable metronome.
Jacks: The YPT-200 features jacks for MIDI In/Out, Sustain Pedal, A/C Power Adapter, and headphones (for private practice).
