Yamaha P-S500B digital piano - Black

Introducing the Yamaha P-S500B digital piano

The new Yamaha P-S500B digital piano is a stylish, finely crafted instrument with fantastic sound and sensitivity. With the Stream Lights feature, 403 preset songs and an audio to score function, this piano is perfect for starting your musical journey, no matter your playing level.

The Stream Lights feature is compatible with the Smart Pianist app installed to a smart device, meaning you can perform even if you’re unable to read music notation. If a score is more what you want, then the audio to score function converts your favorite audio songs into piano accompaniment music notation.

With 403 built-in songs covering a multitude of genres, there is no limit to what you can learn and play on this piano. Plus, you can play these melodies with the backing of a full band arrangement, truly elevating your experience.

Intuitive control with your smart device

Simply connect the instrument to a smart device and use the dedicated Smart Pianist app to access all instrument controls and configuration tools. You can also enjoy powerful features such as app generated piano scores of your favourite songs that help you learn and play along.

Audio and Midi Recording

The P-S500 lets you record your own performances in two different formats: audio and MIDI. Audio recording allows you to capture your playing conventionally, which you can then play back on your smart device. MIDI recording, on the other hand, lets you record up to 16 tracks, with separate left- and right-hand parts or complex multi-instrumental arrangements

Voices

The P-S500 is equipped with 660 varied, high-quality Voices including stunning pianos, electric pianos, organs, brass, strings, percussion, and more. From breathy saxophones to ringing guitars and warm, resonant strings, the P-S500 impressively replicates sounds down to the finest nuances. Thanks to acclaimed Super Articulation technology, the distinctive characteristics of each instrument are reproduced in incredible detail as you play.

Virtual resonance modelling

In a grand piano, strings and sounds resonate throughout the entire body of the instrument producing a rich reverberation that envelops the listener in sound. Not only are the strings you are playing vibrating, but other strings ring as a reaction to ones you play. This is one reason the piano sound is so complex and rich. This phenomena is reproduced perfectly in the P-S500 through Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) which calculates the various states of the strings for each of the 88 notes on the keyboard from one instant to the next. As a result, the P-S500 reflects the limitless number of factors inherent in playing an acoustic piano such as which keys are pressed, the strength with which the keys are played and pedal timing.

Microphone connection and vocal harmony

Since a microphone can be connected to the P-S500, you can enjoy singing along with your keyboard performance or along with Song playback. Moreover, you can apply various studio-quality effects such as chorus to your singing voice, and even cancel the vocal part on audio recordings — letting you sing along with (or instead of!) your favourite artists and groups, and enjoy performing even more.

Wireless connection with smart pianist

Smart Pianist app supports not only wired connection but also wireless connection with the optional UD-WL01 Wi-Fi USB wireless LAN adaptor.

Optional stands available

If you so wish, there are LP1 and L300 stands available in our store for you to add to your P-S500 piano, allowing you to elevate your new instrument so it can best fit into your home.
