Yamaha PSR S500 Keyboard Review – An Entry Level Arranger Workstation for Serious Musicians

Here is a review of the Yamaha PSR S500 keyboard, an entry-level arranger workstation for serious musicians. A good choice if you want to upgrade from a beginner arranger keyboard!



The Yamaha PSR S500 is for intermediate and serious musicians, looking to upgrade from an entry level beginner keyboard, which you may have bought as your first keyboard.

The PSR-S500 portatone may be a bit expensive for the novice users and you could be better off looking for a lower end model.

The PSR S500 is a 61 keyboard arranger workstation that can help further your musical exploits without breaking your budget.

Like most Yamaha Keyboards, it has great selection of quality voices. You can choose from 283 very realistic instrument voices, 361 GM/XLite Voices and 15 SFX Drum Kits.

For its price, its voices are perhaps the best in its category. You also get polyphony (max.) of 32 notes.
