Listening

The song by listening to it initially by ear. When Light Guide is on, you can see which notes are playing by watching the lighting keys which sound as they light.

The EZ-300 features the latest tone generator LSI from Yamaha, delivering the finest sound quality ever offered in an instrument of this type. Enjoy 622 stunning Voices including guitar, bass, strings, sax, trumpet, drums and percussion, as well as piano, organ, and other classic keyboard instruments, which together comprise a comprehensive library of musical sounds. You can even layer two different Voices across the entire keyboard as a Dual Voice to enrich your performances even more!

Super Articulation Lite is a feature that reproduces the sounds of playing methods that are unique to specific acoustic instruments which were previously difficult to emulate. As an example, if you select a guitar Voice, you can realistically reproduce sounds such as scratching noises on electric guitar and the harmonics of nylon guitar strings.

Enjoy playing a touch-sensitive keyboard that accurately reflects every nuance of your playing, making your performances more musically expressive. Play strongly for a louder sound and softly for a quieter sound—and have true dynamic control of your music.

The EZ-300 features a built-in DSP (Digital Signal Processor) that gives you a wide variety of effects for enhancing the sound and making your performance even more dynamic. Moreover, when you select certain Voices (with recommended DSP settings), the DSP effect is automatically applied to the main Voice element.

The EZ-300 features an auto accompaniment function that automatically plays appropriate backing (rhythm + bass + chord accompaniment), which you can control simply by playing root notes or chords with your left hand.

Choose from two ways to play chords: “Smart Chord,” which lets you play chords with just one finger, or “Multi,” which lets you play chords normally, with all the correct notes. Smart Chord allows you to play chords using simple techniques that help your performance automatically sound great.

This powerful feature lets you create automatic rhythmic note phrases that change to match the chords you play. For example, you could play a chord, and the Arpeggio function will automatically create a variety of interesting, dynamic phrases using the notes of that chord. It’s a quick way to get professional sounding backing for your performance.

"Keys to Success" is based on teaching techniques shared with Yamaha over many years. You can select just the key phrases of the Song—the ones you like most or need to work on—and practice them one by one. This lesson is ideal for new players learning the instrument. Each Song consists of several steps.

Each time you play all the way through the current step, your performance will be evaluated.

The Song Book includes the musical scores of the built-in Songs, and also provides tips for the on-board lessons with images, glossary and more. You can use the Song Book together with the "Keys to Success" lesson function, or as a chord chart when playing with the Smart Chord function.

When you turn on the Duo mode, the EZ-300 effectively becomes two keyboards in one, letting two players play the same piano sound and range side-by-side. This is especially useful when learning with a partner, letting you learn and practice parts together!

The LCD is intuitive and easy-to read, and even has a velocity meter that lets you instantly see how strongly or softly you are playing the keyboard.

Digitally enhance the way you practice, record and perform music! Connect a smart device to the instrument to take advantage of a range of fun functions such as the "Rec'n'Share" app, which allows you to record audio and video along with songs from your music library and then share your performances with the world.

The built-in Metronome function can be easily set by panel operation and lets you freely change the volume. Refine your sense of rhythm and make your playing accurate by listening to the precise tempo.

You can record your performance with a single button press and quickly check the results of your practicing.
