Main Description

Yamaha PSR S710 Keyboard

The Yamaha PSR S series is the ultimate in home keyboards. Complete with everything you'd expect from a high quality Yamaha keyboard and much more! In addition to hundreds of polyphonic instrument and percussion sounds, the PSR S710 features MegaVoice technology which uses samples to create high quality representations of several instruments which include variations on playing technique such as muting and harmonics resulting in a keyboard that can produce highly realistic representations of several instruments.

The PSRS710 includes a large LCD screen that can display text files so you can have lyrics right in front of you when playing. Additionally, like many of Yamaha's new generation keyboards, the PSR can connect directly to the internet to download MIDI songs to your keyboard for learning or playing along to!

Here's what Yamaha say about the PSRS710

Take your creativity beyond your imagination
61-key digital workstation with a large LCD screen that features with MegaVoice technology.

Packed with a selection of superior voices, plus a huge variety of music genres and new styles, this instrument gives you top music performance.

Keyboard/Polyphony

61 regular-sized touch sensitive keys and 128-note polyphony.
Wide Selection of Voices & Styles
387 realistic instrument voices, 480 XG voices, 24 Drum/SFX Kits and 232 accompaniment styles which allows the enjoyment of regionally unique music, making it possible to have even more fun with music.

MegaVoice Technology

It features multiple samples across the keyboard with sophisticated velocity switching - for incredibly authentic instrument sounds. It contains not only the basic samples of the instrument but also the performance techniques used with it. On a guitar for instance, players will hear open and mute string sounds, dead notes, hammering effects, slide effects, harmonics and a wide range of strum and body noises. In technical terms, MegaVoice duplicates an instrument's behavior. In sonic terms, this gives the keyboard stunningly realistic sounds.

Organ Flutes

This special function not only gives you a full set of rich and luscious organ sounds, it also lets you create your own original organ voices, just as on a traditional organ, by increasing and decreasing the flute footages, and adding percussive sounds.

Large LCD Display

A large LCD display provides attractive graphics and helpful messages for quick access and error-free operation. It provides comprehensive and easy-to-understand control of its operation. The display indicates chords, scores, lyrics, voice and style information, and more.

Text Viewer

This allows you to show text files you've created on computer-making. Even if the Song doesn't contain lyrics data, you can view the lyrics on the display. If enables various useful possibilities, such as the showing of lyrics, chord names, and text notes.

USB Audio Recorder

You can record your performance as audio data to a USB storage device. Connect a microphone or guitar to the instrument and enjoy recording a guitar and keyboard performance together, or record your singing along with song playback.

Convenient Multi Pad Sync function / Registrations and OTS Information

You can embellish your performance as you play with several preset phrases by using the Multi Pads. These can even be synchronized with Style/Song playback. The information displays for Registration Memory and One Touch Setting allow you to confirm the registered panel setups easily.

Music Finder

When you want to play in a certain genre of music but don't know which settings to choose, what can you do? Music Finder has the answer. It offers an extensive range of music styles with pre-programmed voices and effects setups. Search for suitable styles. It instantly call up the best-suited voices, tempo and accompaniment style to match the song name or music style you wish to play. Simply call up a song title and start playing.

Online, On-demand Music (IDC)

Bring your instrument online and tap into the worldwide music network! Yamaha has created a new, essential online service for musicians everywhere: Internet Direct Connection (IDC). IDC lets you connect the instrument directly to the Internet, without a computer, letting you delve into thousands of MIDI songs on our custom website, and download your favorite music for playback on the instrument.

Once you're online with IDC, you can download your favorite contents straight to your instrument. And that's just the beginning - the fun and excitements start from there!

Am really enjoying my PSR S710. It was a bit of a daunting instrument when I looked at it in the shop given the massive array of buttons - however it is actually really easy to operate and incredibly flexible.
You can virtually adapt anything you want and then save the settings for easy recall. The Mega voices are excellent - really like the saxophone and oboe. Find the piano a little subdued compared to my old Roland keyboard (and the Roland Prelude I tried)which is a shame. However, the ability to change voices as you play, and switch on effects, is a world better than the prelude.The keyboard is very light to touch (Prelude is slightly weighted) but is also very touch responsive allowing fully expressive playing. You can even set the level of touch response you want.
The voice control is marvellous since you can set two voices for the right hand and one for the left over and above the auto accompaniment. You can then add an auto harmony onto the primary right hand voice. With 128 not polyphony the instrument can handle the mass of notes with ease.
Speaker are pretty powerful and deliver a rich sound - however you have audio outputs if you want to play out through an amplifier.
You also get internet and computer connectivity so can access Yamaha's web resources which are growing all the time.
Having been a happy Roland owner for over 20 years I can say I much prefer the Yamaha to its Roland equivalent now - when 20 years ago I would have said the reverse as I traded form Yamaha to Roland then.
Finally - I thought carefully between the S910 and the S710. The main differences being the vocal processing and the Super-articulation voices on the 910 (these for example allow you to hear the saxaphone buttons being pressed for additional realism). You can also record direct to mp3 on a memory stick on the 910 (although you can record direct to WAV on memory stick on both machines). Since I cant sing - and the mega voices were already such a great step up from my 20 year old Roland it just was not worth putting up an extra 50% on the price of the s710 for me.
So in summary - an instrument well worth a try if you want a keyboard arranger with truly excellent sampled sounds and lots of versatility - I am very happy with it.

The Yamaha PSR s710 is my first "serious" keyboard, having spent a year or so getting the hang of using one and seeing if I enjoyed it.
The s710 has turned out to be an excellent choice for me, offering a pretty good range of styles and voices to play around with, and enough flexibility to adapt for oneself. There's a lot more potential in the keyboard than I've been able to explore yet, which is good - plenty of new things to explore!
I do have a few minor quibbles but they are personal rather than general, and to air them in a short review would be misleading, not to say carping.
This is a lovely keyboard with Yamaha's well-known quality, and ease of use considering its complexity. In my opinion is is very good value for money,I feel I've made a good purchase, and I suspect it'll be a long time before I tire of it.

Experience taught me "Each worthy keyboard has its own soul" - and this Yamaha baby surely has a blissful one! First i list out all the good points -
1. The quality of sounds - Let me rate them from 1 to 5 (5 being highest) as follows herewith -
Piano - I rate at 4. My favorite - the Live! Warm Grand Piano. There are 10 of the piano sounds to be selected and all are extremely useful, and nice sounding.
E-Piano – I rate at 3 My Favorite - the Cool! Electric Piano and the Clavi. Well if you are wondering why I rated 3, then the reason is that there are some sounds like the Tremelo, and the WahClavi that could have been better.
Organs – Rating is 4.5 this is the best feature. There are around 15 to choose from (My favorite being the Rock Organ) and the sounds are very real.
OrganFlutes – Rating is 4.5 - the bonanza! Very very realistic and there are lots to choose from.
Sax andTrumpets - Well, let me put plain that I come from India and out here we rarely get to see or hear saxes / bagpipes. So cant comment and rate on something on which I have no exposure (sorry folks). But I do went thru the category and found that there are many varieties provided by Yamaha in these categories.
Synths and Pads – Rating is 2.5 – this is the weakest part of this keyboard.. Very few synth sounds – most of them are just bells and whistles.. Roland M -50 scores far better in this category. But again, it depends on which music you are into – if you into retros and use leads, then this keyboard fill fit the bill. However, if you are looking at those “pumping” jassy basslines, then this keyboard is a big let down in this category.
2. Other features – USB recording I haven’t tried. The buttons are good, though the overall look is quite plastique. How I wish that Yamaha would have provided some knobs for voice control… Knobs are the thing… Well Well, I need to satisfy myself with buttons…. Also please do remind yourself that this is not a synthesizer; it’s an out and out WKstation Keyboard!.
Overall rating – Would rate at 4.5, except for if someone into synth sounds then the rating is 3.
