Recommended Posts

This is only a couple of months old and I have only used it twice, It also comes with mains adapter, sustain pedal, Stagg keyboard stand. I have the manuals and box for it, also 4 keyboard music books, it cost £325.

It is like new so £225 plus delivery?

 

Here is the manufactureres spec:

 

The new Yamaha Portable Keyboard, the PSR-E413 has been designed to offer great sounds at a truly affordable price.

 

So what makes this remarkable instrument tick? Lets first look at the keyboard features, starting with the 61 note, touch sensitive keyboard. It was only a few years ago that a touch sensitivity keyboard was only found on expensive instruments, but not any more! Touch sensitivity adds expression and realism to many sounds on the instrument, including the beautiful ‘grand’ piano voice. However, this sound is only the first of more than 500 different AWM sampled sounds built in to the E413. Having more than 500 voices allows the keyboard to reproduce a vast palette of different orchestral and synth sounds, that can be combine using the ‘Dual Voice’ feature, or different sounds can be placed across the keyboard using the ‘Split Voice’ feature.

 

There is also a vast selection of built in styles, in fact a total of 165, each with 2 variations and a range of introductions, endings and fills. Styles are built in ‘backing bands’ that, when selected, are controlled by the players left hand. The styles cover many different genres of music from traditional ballroom styles (Quickstep, Foxtrot etc) through to modern Rock and Dance and just about every type of music in between. The styles are fully orchestrated, so the end result is like hearing a range of different bands accompanying your performance.

 

There is also a wide range of additional performance features designed to make playing the instrument easy. For example if you’re not sure which voices are most effective with a particular style then One Touch Setting (OTS) is the answer. Simply select a style, Trance for example, and OTS selects the right sounds to play Trance music – very easy! Or use the built in Music Database, which automatically selects the correct settings for 300 popular songs, at the touch of a button.

 

You can also record yourself using the built in Song Recorder. You can even multi-track using the 6 available tracks, and save up to 5 of your performances in the keyboard’s memory. So far, so good…..

 

The PSR-E413 is unique in the Yamaha keyboard range as it features real-time performance controllers. These twin controls allow the player to control filter and envelope parameters, effects, even tempo, in real time as you play. This means that some great synth and pad lines are possible, together with some amazing new dance style remixes. You can also use the in-built arpeggiator to add excitement to your performance – simply hold down a chord in the right hand and the E413 automatically animates the notes you play in one of 100 arpeggio types. This feature is great for producing cool dancefloor grooves in an instant – and makes even beginners sound professional.

 

The E413 delivers its sound through a powerful onboard speaker system which has been optimized for superb bass reproduction, making it an ideal ‘stand alone’ instrument which can be used without any amplification anywhere – from home studios to campsites! A USB connection allows easy hookup to a computer and access to a huge range of music production software.

 

The new E413 looks certain to continue the success of its predecessors and will undoubtedly capture and inspire the minds of today’s keyboard players for some time to come!

iv been thinking of a keyboard for months but theres nothing really pushin me to get one lol

 

I was stuck between this and the casio ctk 5000, this wins hands down between the 2. I'm a piano player really but just fancied a keyboard, It is very very good I just don't have the time at the moment and i'm selling lots of things to buy. a van

 

I've got the 403, awesome keyboard so the 413 will be better :D

 

I couldn't find anything better without spending some serious money, it does so much and the sound is very impressive.
