Yamaha's precise Touch Response keyboard lets you express yourself like a pro
Expression is a key factor in truly mastering keyboard performance. From a light touch to a firm, more aggressive style, the PSR-I400’s Touch Response keyboard captures your expression perfectly. Yamaha's Touch Response keyboards have been recognized and certified by the world-famous Trinity Music College of London.
World-renowned Yamaha quality that lasts
Yamaha has a long history of strict quality control after decades of dedication to world class quality and durability. The PSR-I400 is produced in a new Yamaha factory in India that began operations in 2019 using the same quality control guidelines as other Yamaha factories. There, the new PSR has undergone a variety of durability tests ranging from exposure to extreme temperatures and humidity, to dropping the keyboards and pressing the keys aggressively over extended periods of time. As a result, the PSR-I400 is durable enough to sound great for many years to come.
Save time and focus on practice with Registration Memory's stored settings
The Registration Memory function allows users to conveniently recall previously stored settings (Voices/Styles/Effects, etc.) with the push of a button. This is particularly useful for children and beginners when recalling registration files prepared by their teacher, allowing them to start practicing without wasting any time.
Pitch bend wheel for authentic performance
The pitch bend wheel allows you to emulate the note-bending technique that is essential when performing with Indian musical instruments. Try using it to achieve more realistic performances with instruments such as the Sitar, Violin, Saxophone, Mandolin, Bass, Tabla, and Sarod.
Enjoy playing music
Auto accompaniment for adaptable ensemble performances of Indian music.
The PSR-I400’s auto accompaniment “Styles” function is invaluable for beginners and more experienced players alike. As you play chords, compatible basslines, rhythm tracks, and other kinds of accompaniment are automatically created and follow along with your performance. The PSR-I400 comes with a variety of accompaniment Styles, including 35 different types of Indian Styles such as newly added modern Indian dance music. By using the Music Database function, you can find perfect combinations of Voices and Styles that will remind you of your favourite movies.
Auto-arpeggio function for inspiring rhythmic patterns and authentic phrasing
The PSR-I400 has an auto-arpeggio function that allows you to play various sequenced dance music patterns, and emulate techniques such as guitar strumming, creating sounds that are not usually produced by a keyboard to add authenticity to your performance.

The transpose function makes sure you're always singing in the right key!
If you want to enjoy Karaoke with your children using the PSR-I400, but you don't have the vocal range or just prefer a different key for the song, simply use the Transpose function to play in other keys with ease.
Layer instruments to enjoy atmosphere performances
The Dual Voice function allows you to layer two instruments simultaneously, for example using both Piano and Strings, or Bansuri and Xenon Pad together for a dreamy atmospheric feel. Another example of effective use of the dual voice function would be layering Harmonium with String Slap to achieve a more authentic sound. Get creative while you enjoy learning to create beautiful sounds by combining various instruments.
