A portable keyboard that's affordable and has advanced features.

The PSR-E313 is the most affordable Yamaha portable keyboard with touch-sensitivity that responds more like a piano. It has 480 instrument voices including Yamaha's Portable Grand voice, regarded as one of the best acoustic grand piano voices available in a portable keyboard. The interactive Yamaha Education Suite (Y.E.S.) with innovative Listen & Learn capability helps you learn to play. The LCD display makes it easy to select voices and styles, and displays the music as well as which notes to play on the keyboard. The chord dictionary and built-in metronome will also help you as you learn chords and rhythm, and the headphone jack makes it easy to practice silently.

The Yamaha PSR-E313 has an easy to use 2-track recorder that lets you record up to 10,000 notes per song with a 5-song capacity. You get 102 songs and 100 music styles to play along with as well as the Sound Effect Kit with cool sounds and grooves for inspiration and fun. In addition, the PSR-E313 is XGlite compatible and features Flash ROM; perfect for transferring MIDI content from the Internet.

The Music Database feature provides automatic keyboard setups by song title, including Splits (different voice on L&R) and Layers (2 voices i.e. Piano/Strings). You also get 12 drum kits plus a sound effect kit and DSP effects include nine reverb and four chorus. Plus, it will all sound great through the true stereo speaker system with bass ports for full sound. It also has 32-note polyphony, sustain input, and two 12cm speakers with 5W power. The E213 can be powered by the optional Yamaha PA-130 AC adapter power supply or six AA batteries (not included).

Beyond Perfect For Beginners

Posted by Anonymous Musician on May 30, 2009

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: Song Writer

Reviewer's Play Style: Soft rock

I was looking for a good keyboard so I could write my songs without annoying my whole family with a real piano, but rather with valume control. I decided this keyboard when I wasn't even looking for one because it was so cheap.

Not only is it cheap, it also has great sound, nearly 500 voices including the perfect bass sound, drum sound, and next to perfect brass, violin, cello, and piano. You can change octaves from -2 to 2, and transpose from -12 to 12 (giving you the range from nearly two octaves below the piano, to two octaves above).

However, this is only a beginner keyboard only. The keys feel nothing like real piano keys and are much smaller. Also, when you get more into piano, you really learn how much you need 88 full sized weighed action keys.

I would still be using this keyboard on occasion, even if I got the most expensive keyboard in the world though!

I Love This Keyboard

Posted by Sidney from Roanoke, VA on May 18, 2009

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: Active Musician, Songwriter

Reviewer's Play Style: Rock, Easy Listening

I bought this keyboard because it was pretty cheap and I wanted a keyboard to use with my studio's sequencing software for my songwriting on my computer.

I have had this keyboard board for about 2 months and I just love it. I have sat and played and played for hours. It's been the first place I head for when I come home from work these past couple of months.

I'm using it for my songwriting and I just love spending time on it. I was impressed with it the first time I set it up and played it straight out of the box.

It is an entry level keyboard but you can't beat the value or the sound of this little keyboard.

It is jammed pack with tons of features for a keyboard in this price range. I never had a Yamaha keyboard before, but I love it. I'm planning on getting a full 88 key keyboard from Yamaha as well.

It works extremely well with my Cakewalk Sonar 8 Producer software and I'm sure it will work well with all MIDI capable software.

I also purchased the Yamaha UX16 USB MIDI cable to patch the keyboard into my computer.

Be sure to get the survival kit for the AC adapter, headphones and sustain pedal.

I puchased this unit for home use. It is less than one month old, and I have begun to notice a distinct metallic "clink" on the tone from the C above middle C. It is there when played either through the built-in speakers or an external amp. If gets no worse, I'll live with it. Don't want to go through the trouble, Or expense of sending it back.

Great Board for Learners

I bought this 'board for my daughter who is learning to play. As with all Yamaha products, it sounds great, is rugged (kid friendly) and has a lot of features. Even the simple models like this one provides a decent lot of options and opportunity for fun and creativity. I have more expensive synths/workstations, and even I have a lot of fun on it just tinkering around with my daughter. I take this on road trips/vacations too. it's lasted for 2 years now. Great tool for learning, or just having fun with! Highly recommend for kids, or anyone who just wants something to play for fun, practice, or w/e.

Yamaha E313

Posted by Richard from Phoenix on Jan 17, 2009

Reviewer's Background: I heard music on the radio once.

Reviewer's Play Style: NA

Great product. I purchased it for my wife who was accustomed to playing on a Baby Grand. She loves it. My only negative is that the power cord was not included. I have no problem paying the extra few bucks for the power cord--I just wish that I would have know that I needed it. That way I would not have to go out and buy 6 "AA" batteries at the last minute. They do not even show the power cord as a "recommended option". That needs to be corrected. When I called to say that I was missing the power cord--I got the impression that everyone who buys this product has the same problem.
