Yes, the psr 330 is very easy to use, for recording songs, make sounds combinations. The manual's helpfull too and the presets are pretty.

Features : 8
31 polyphony. For the 90's keys the polyphony s good, it's have 8 sounds effect as pressets and they're easy to use. However, It isn't have any expansion configuration and the MIDI funtion are some limited..

Expressiveness/Sounds : 7
Te psr 330 is a personal keyboard, and its not specified to types of music, its have defaults sounds, but however its sounds are pretty, only the organs, pad and lead sounds are so-so good. The touch sistem works at perfection, it`s editable of 1 to 127 with 100 as preset

I'm playing keyboards at the age of 8, with this key's pal. Ten years with the PSR 330 tell me that keyboard's the best way to bebining in the world of key's knowledge:It was cheap, It was, or I mean, It's good and pretty. if it could have the pitch bender and a modulation wheels, The psr 330 could be perfect.Also I'm controlling this keyboard with the BEHRINGER's FCB1010 and The psr 330 converted more powerfull!!.Just imagine what can you do with de FCB1010 IN THE PSR 330....

I love everything about the keyboard , it took me a few years to get it all together but I use it all the time , every day at least 2 hours a day. My only complaint is that it only records on two demo spots.

Features : 10
The keyboard action is great.

Expressiveness/Sounds : 8
I use piano , alto sax , trumpet , strings and guitar and add others as I go along . Some sounds aren't perfect but if I wanted perfect I would have bought a piano. I have been playing since 4 yr of age and this keyboard is the favorite of all other than my piano I used to have.

Reliability : 10
I use it all the time on gigs and some with backup and some without

Customer Support : 8
No I haven't ever had it repaired but do want to get it cleaned

Overall Rating : 10
I own two guitars , a fiddle and my keyboard
If someone stole it I would be very lost without it. I love my keyboard and at my age I wouldn't want to be without it. I am 58.

Very simple to use. The manual explains everything clearly.

Features : 5
The action on the keys is awful. I am a pianist and these are some of the dogiest keys i have played. There are a few different reverb settings and a harmony button which is bad(It has a kind of midi delay thing which can be ok)
The onboard sequencer is good for very simple work but not for anything serious.

Expressiveness/Sounds : 2
On the whole keyboard there are perhaps 3 tones that are of acceptable quality and some of the rhythms are ok. The majority of the features on this keyboard are designed for amateurs.

Reliability : 9
This thing wont break! Its built like a fortress.

I have not dealt with yamaha for any reason.

If this were stolen I would go and buy a better keyboard. It's great for beginners and it's what i first started sequencing on. If you dont want a serious piece of equipment then get this.

This is definately its strong point. It is a very basic and therfore simple keyboard to use. There's nothing confusing about it at all.

Features : 5
The polyphony is decent, 31 I think. It's built in effects are decent for the price but I would never use it for anything professional.

Expressiveness/Sounds : 5
The straight piano instruments are not bad but if you try much of anything else, it's pretty pathetic. It's is touch sensitive but not all that great. Some notes are unusually louder than others and it doesn't allow very soft playing.

Reliability : 10
I would and have used it on gigs with no backup. I've owned this keyboard for 6 years now and have never had any problems with functionality with it.

Customer Support : No Opinion

If it was lost I definately would not buy it again. I've been playing piano for 13 years. It'd be nice to have the full 88 keys becuase when using this keyboard I often run out of keys.

I use Cakewalk Express and connecting PSR-330 via midi cabel, 126 panel voices are very good, 10 drum kits, 137 to 264 GM voices, it is GM sounding keyboard but its sounds much like XG's

Features : 4
there are harmony effects and revarb effects, it does have only cartrage slot, we need much good midi seq. software for sequencing, it's absolutly competibel with midi features,

Expressiveness/Sounds : 8
guitar, trumpet, trobone & mute trumpet are very realistic,clasics and rock can be play good,onboard effect good, its sound not too good when we play auto accompaniment, u should turn off 1 of chord 1,chord 2, phrase 1 & 2

Reliability : 4
No!, we cant depend on it!

Como se trata de un teclado casero con muy pocas funciones es muy facil de usar.

Features : 9
?Polifonia? (calif: 5)!Ni siquiera se puede obtener un buen resultado cuando se usan los efectos Reverb ni Harmony juntos, ni se diga cuando se utilizan acompa?amientos! Este teclado es para practicar solfeo; nada mas. El peque?o secuenciador unicamente sirve para que grabes unas cuantas notas y analices tus progresos. Eso si que es de gran ayuda. El teclado se puede dividir en tres o dos secciones; asi se puede tocar un instrumento con la mano izquierda y otro con la derecha (calif:10). Tiene 32 memorias para guardar las configuraciones de instrumentos, asi con un solo boton se llama al instrumento con todos los parametros que se estaban usando (calif:10). Con mi secuenciador "Cakewalk Pro Audio 9" reproduzco canciones MIDI en la computadora y toca los sonidos de mi teclado. !Fabuloso para los principiantes! NOTA FINAL: DEBERIAN DE INCLUIR EL ADAPTADOR DE VOLTAJE.

Expressiveness/Sounds : 9
Segun el precio, la mayoria de los sonidos son buenos. Comparado con un teclado CASIO similar, los YAMAHA son mil veces mejores. Me gusta el piano, la flauta, guitarra, organo; pero hay muchos muy malos. Si quieren un gran sonido para el piano, sera necesario comprar un "pedal de sostenido".

Es tan solido y su manufactura tan buena que no ha tenido ninguna falla desde que lo compre en febrero de 1999.

Overall Rating : 9
Por un teclado como este no hay que pagar mas de $350US. Es mejor hacer un esfuerzo; ahorrar y comprar el PSR540 o superior.

Software version - I don't know what exactly you mean...
Quite easy to use. The manual is mostly straightforward, although some chapters really need improvements (MIDI section, for one!) because they are good only for those who don't need them... With a little experience with synthesizers you can almost do completely without a manual...
Presets: depends... Some sounds are realistic, some not (strings!) Accompanyment is mostly OK, although on the PSR-340 is better...

Features : 7
Poliphony is satisfying.
Keyboard pretty good, although "touch sensitivity" is somethimes driving me crazy (quite different than the "true" one on the e.g. piano) - after 2 and a half years I still didn't completely get used to it...
Reverb & harmony types: harmony OK, reverb types sound much the same...
Expansion only through the musical cartridge - the one you get with the instrument is pretty useles... (and I did't buy any other)
It has MIDI capability which I am now planing to try out.
The sequencer can not store very long songs, but for non-professional use good enough.

Expressiveness/Sounds : 7
See above.
For the non-professional keyboard isn't bad at all!
I can play most of the peaces that come to my mind.
Of course, more expensive models offer more...

Reliability : 10
In the two and a half years (since I bought it) it has never let me down...

The only thing I miss when I am away from home is my PSR!! I love it and I certainly do not intend to sell it! Of course, if it gets lost, certainly would I get a newer model, because I can get it for the same price I paid for this one 2 and a half years ago!
Greater choice of rhythms would certainly be helpful (no 6/8 rhythm at all!!!)
Buying it (or the next model from this series) for about $300 is definitely not a mistake! It's worth its price!

with drums are worst. On board effect are not very much audible.

I would like if it were stolen. I wouldn't buy it again.
Although it has some features found in professional key boards
it has traded off voice quality for those features.
No pitch bend found.

The Ease of Use is great. This thing is so easy to use. I would rate it a 10
because Everything is so easily accesible. The sounds are pretty good, but are excellent
for its price range.I have many keyboards like korg trinity/triton, Roland XP-80 etc.
but none of them are as easy to use as the YAMAHA Psr-330. It's just great.

Features : 9
The polyphony is excellent for its price range. It has 32 notes of polyphony.
The effects are good and again are easy to use. This keyboard has full midi
capibilities with touch sensitive,velocity,after touch etc.
It also has an onboard sequencer wich is great. You cant do the whole deal
on this sequencer,but`its good for practice sequences. Again the sequencer is very ease to use.

Expressiveness/Sounds : 9
The instruments really are realastic, and especially for its price range.
The piano is good, the acoustic guitar is great,and the drums are also pretty good.
It has great sounds for its price range. It works well for all types of music. The on-board effects are also excellent.
It also reacts to your playing, which is nice.

Reliability : 7
Yes I could probably depend on it. I dont know if I would use it on a gig
since it is not totally professional, But it is great for practicing
and writing/composing.

Customer Support : 10
I havent ever contacted the customer service but I am sure that they are nice.
