Yamaha YPT420 61-Key Music Keyboard Review
by: Zipper

I was quite impressed with the feature list of the ypt-420 but when I got it I felt the sounds could have been somewhat better. There are lots of extra sounds as well, mostly around effects, which I personally won't be using. But at the same time, if you want to create your own stuff, this keyboard provides a lot of features. At first look, this indeed looks like a semi professional keyboard but there certainly are some limitations.

PS: Can somebody please post a link to download the drivers so that the keyboard works with a computer?

I know this is a beginner keyboard but then it also has the recorder feature which is great if you want to try your hands at composing or to record your performance and play it back so you can evaluate your performance.

I also like the Dual mode wherein you can play two instrument sounds at the same time.
I also intend to learn to use the split feature effectively so that I can play a bass instrument with my left hand and the piano with the right hand. Long way to go for that though!
I'm happy with the Yamaha YPT-320 keyboard.

Comes with Pro features
by: AJ

Intermediate and experienced players will be surprised to see the features that this keyboard provides, not to mention the above average sound quality.

Pitch bend wheel, control knobs that allow you to have real time control over filters, effects, tempo and an arpeggio function for techno and synthesizer keyboard playing are some of the professional features that you can use. Good for songwriting or for using with your computer as well.

The ypt 420 seems to be a recently launched model, successor to the ypt-410. The ypt410 was a great keyboard, not sure about this one though. Am waiting for some user comments.
