Have
you ever played a song and
wondered what it would look like as sheet music? The YPG-535 can
display the score to a song whether it comes from the Internet, the
internal selections or ones that you record yourself, and the pages
scroll automatically when a song is played back – no more page turning!
And for singers, the screen also displays chords and lyrics to XF
compatible songs. For examples, please visit www.yamahamusicsoft.com.
And for those that want to learn to play, notation adds a new dimension
to the Yamaha Education Suite, allowing you to hear a song while you
follow the notes in the display.

| There are many tools in the
keyboard that make it easy to be a power user from the first day you
own the keyboard. - Expandable
Music Database: Complete keyboard setups by song
title. The keyboard selects an appropriate voice for the right hand
melody, the correct musical style and the correct tempo. Simply call up a
song title and start playing.
- One Touch Setting (OTS):
Provides you with a recommended
voice with effects for each Style. For example, on a jazz style OTS
might be piano, for a Latin style it might be acoustic guitar and for a
rock style it might be a guitar with overdrive etc.
- Registration
Memory: Set the keyboard up just the way you
like and take a digital snapshot by memorizing it to one of the
Registration buttons. Load and save up to 16 Registrations to User
memory. The Registration buttons are conveniently located just above
the keyboard.
- Performance Assistant Technology:
Performance assistant
technology is a feature from Yamaha that guarantees that you can't play a
wrong melody note or chord. Here's how it works. Select a song, press
the Performance Assistant button Chord Mode and play the keyboard – any
notes you like. Every note you play will fit the music!
 If you move up the keyboard, the
pitch goes up. If you move down, the pitch goes down. Play a perfect
arpeggio, or play chords in time with the music, or really "go for it"
and play a solo. As long as performance assistant is "on", you're "on".
Imagine being able to give a concert to your friends or relatives the
very first day that you bring this remarkable keyboard home. Well, with
the YPG-535 and performance assistant technology, you can! The YPG-535
offers four selectable types that work with any of the internal songs
with chords plus any XF MIDI files. For examples, please visit www.yamahamusicsoft.com:
- Chord: No matter where or what you play, the result will be
musical, well-balanced sound. This type offers the greatest freedom,
allowing you to play anything with both your left and right hands.
- Chord/Free: If you can play simple right-hand melodies but
have trouble with left hand chords, this is the type for you. The
Chord type applies to only the left-hand section of the keyboard,
allowing you to easily play chords to support the melody you are playing
with your right hand.
- Melody: This type lets you play
the melody of the selected
song by playing any keys with just one finger. Start playing melodies
right away, even if you've never played a keyboard instrument before!
- Chord/Melody: Play the melody of the selected song with one
finger on the right-hand section of the keyboard, and play chords on
the left-hand section of the keyboard using the Chord type.

| The YPG-535 has 30 built-in songs
plus 70 more on included CD-ROM for you to learn to play using
the Yamaha Education Suite. The songs are separated into left and right

Waiting Mode – stops
the playback of a song until you find the correct note and then
continues.
- Your Tempo Mode – Learn to play the correct notes
with the correct
timing. Song playback tempo will vary to match the speed you are playing

at your own pace.
- Minus One Mode – Here's where you can perfect
your technique. The
song will play at the normal tempo, minus the part you have chosen to
play. Play along while listening to the song.
- Lesson Grading – monitors your
progress as you practice each
lesson and gives you a grade.
- Repeat and Learn – The song

allowing you to practice until perfect!

which chords you are playing by displaying the notes and chord names on
the LCD screen.

| 6-track sequencer: record your
own music | Imagine
capturing your
child's first performance or writing and recording your own songs. With
the YPG-535, you have the equivalent of a built-in multi-track recorder
to record one or multiple instrument parts at a time and assign each
part to a different track. Six tracks are provided to accommodate
sophisticated melodies, chord accompaniment and rhythm parts.

- 2-Way Speaker System
Separate
woofers and tweeters deliver sounds with clarity and precision
for more lifelike instrument voices. - Bass Boost System
A
special port on each speaker adds a powerful impact to bass sound
reproduction. - Stereo (Not just 2 Speakers)
We all know
that stereo sound adds realistic character and spatial
depth. But how can you tell if the portable keyboard you're looking to
purchase is stereo or not? With Yamaha, the answer is simple. All Yamaha
Portable Keyboards are true stereo. - Digital Signal
Processing (DSP)
Enhances sound quality with sophisticated
digital effects like Harmony,
Reverb & Chorus. - Advanced Wave Memory (AWM)
Yamaha

sound.

| The YPG-535 delivers on its piano
theme with a special mode of fingering called Full Keyboard Mode. This
allows the player to play the keyboard like a piano; for example a chord
with the right hand and bass notes with the left. When using the
accompaniment feature, the virtual band will follow these chords.
Traditional portable keyboards normally require you to chord on the left
side of the keyboard, in the bass section, which is foreign to most
piano players. The YPG-535 is also capable of this mode, for those who
prefer it. |

to preview, purchase, download and print learn-to-play music books and
chart-topping sheet music. From scales to chords to your favorite riffs,

and one-button simple.

(EQ) settings are provided to give you the best possible sound when
listening through different reproduction systems – the instrument's
internal speakers, headphones, or an external speaker system. You're in
control.
| Realistic
Sounding Voices  The YPG-535 comes equipped
with 127 panel voices, 12 drum/SFX kits plus 361 XGlite voices. Special
voices include Sweet! Clarinet, Trumpet, Muted Trumpet, Flute,
Pan Flute, Soprano & Tenor Saxes, Trombone, Cool! Voices

expression and
vibrato of their respective acoustic instruments
- Cool!
Voices feature long samples of electronically amplified
instruments
- Live! Voices use stereo samples to ensure
the most accurate
reproduction of each instrument's natural presence, resonance and
vibrato
- Dual Mode Mode allows you to combine two voices
across the
keyboard at the same time – for example piano and strings.
- Split Mode allows you to select a different voice for each
hand – for example piano for your right and bass for your left. The
combinations are limited only by your imagination.
32 Note Polyphony and 16 Part Multi Timbrel In electronic keyboards, the more
sounds made at the same time – polyphony – the more memory is needed.
Obviously, more is always better, because too little polyphony can cause
dropouts in dense passages of music. The YPG-535 has 32 notes of
polyphony and will play back 16 different parts or sounds at once
(16-part multi timbrel); enough for the most demanding needs.
Digital Effects Yamaha has long been a world
leader in digital signal processing technology. In fact, Yamaha
professional audio products are found in most professional recording
studios around the world. The YPG-535 takes full advantage of this
know-how, giving you an extensive range of nine, top-quality reverb
effects that simulate playing in everything from a small room to a large
spacious concert hall and four chorus effects that add richness to
electric pianos and guitars in particular. You'll also find 26 types of
Harmony effects for your melody part.
Metronome Just what the teacher ordered! A
fully adjustable metronome is just a button push away.
Auto Accompaniment Styles In addition to the 100 songs
mentioned above, the YPG-535 also has auto accompaniment styles that
"follow" your playing. Simply select a style of music from the 160
built-in Styles (example Rock), play a chord and the YPG-535 will create
a backup band (bass, drums, strings, guitar etc.) and "follow" you
through the song. You can play your songs and try different genres of
music. And if you can't find the right style for your song, simply go to
www.yamahamusicsoft.com,
preview from the selection, purchase and load it into the keyboard. For a demonstration of "What is a Style", click here (1.3MB download -
requires Macromedia Flash).

the keyboard includes a Sustain Pedal jack in the back and Sustain Pedal
for practicing and playing piano pieces.
