Play with Rich Expression

• The YPT-W320's extended 76-key keybed permits you to perform more complex piano pieces than you could on a 61-key keyboard.
• The keyboard provides hundreds of inspiring sounds including 258 panel voices, 25 drum/SFX kits, 20 arpeggios, and 347 XGlite voices including strings, guitars, brass, saxophones, synths, drums, and other musical instruments. When you want to simply play a piano sound, just press the Portable Grand button.
• Super Articulation Lite reproduces the natural nuances of specific acoustic instruments-such as harmonics on nylon guitar strings and bends in saxophone notes-for incredibly realistic sounding performances.
• With touch sensitivity, play the keys strongly and the sound gets louder. Play them softly and it becomes gentle and delicate. This nuanced response gives you full expressive control and allows you to express yourself the way you were meant be heard.
• You can layer two different sounds across the entire keyboard, letting you create your own unique sound combinations.
• By dividing the keyboard into the two separate areas, you can play one sound with your left hand and a different sound with your right.

Perform with a Virtual Backing Band

• With the powerful Auto-Accompaniment Style features, you can automatically add the accompaniment of realistic instruments-such as drums, bass, and more-which perfectly match your chords. You'll sound like you're playing with a complete backing band.
• In addition, Auto Chord Play automatically produces musically appropriate chords as you play, allowing you to expand your performance in exciting ways.

Smart Chords and Arpeggio Function

• Choose from two ways to play chords: Smart Chord lets you play lush sounding chords with just one finger, or Multi lets you play chords using normal fingering. Smart Chord allows you to play more complex chord harmonies using simple techniques, enhancing your performances without regard to your skill level.
• With the arpeggio function enabled, the chords you play are transformed into a variety of musical phrases and rhythms. Every Voice has a default arpeggio type, but you can experiment by changing the type, giving you full control over your creativity. There are 152 types of arpeggios are available.
