Yamaha continues its reputation for improving on every model in its respective series. Building further on the impressive PSR-E373, Yamaha brings additional sounds and beats, a more efficient control panel workflow and plenty more subtle improvements to the PSR-E383.
Really proud to bring you the first review of this one!

Did anybody notice that there is a new drum kit when he played one of the styles before he eneded the video. To me sounds like that of the PSR SX600 or the DGX670. So now we may just have a new drum kit on top of the power kit that we had for a while in addition to the old XGLite drum kits. That's what I Noticed . Of course, it is possible that the samples are smaller or maybe not. It is kind of hard to tell due to the compression on the camera's audio or something. Thanks Gearfacts. Keep the videos comming. I am thankfull that you are still providing these new and old gear. Shows how much tech in these machines have been progressing, even though we can't always ask for to much, lol.Waiting for the series of keyboards that I am intrested in, the E4 series. Take care and god bless.

I think Yamaha has to focus on replacing voices from the next PSRE rather than adding voices. They are so many 90s trash, annoying and extremely toyish 5$ keyboard voices and drumkits here. They should start using sampled voices like in the Tyros and delete trash voices.

What the... ??? Big Sound improvement.... Am I wrong in saying they have put same sounds and FX of the PSR-473 in this new PSR-383... They do sound very similar including Articulation... Can't wait to see what Yamaha will do with PSR-483... Thank You for Sharing Bro!

@gearfacts 2 ай бұрын

Yes! Hopefully they'll bring back chromatic sampling on the 483. I hear what you're saying about the sounds. It seems to me that most of the palette is the same or very similar, but there are a few stand-out sounds that I think are clearly improved. Thanks for watching :)

What I am interested in is the midi capabilities of this keyboard. And I am anticipating the PSRE483. I currently have the PSRE463 and I have looked at the manual for the PSRE473 and its midi capabilities. And I can tell you that the PSRE473 does except control change CC numbers 82, and 83. Which are General Purpose Buttons 3 and 4 respectively. And those are toggle on/off controls. The PSRE463 does not support CC82 and CC83. Also, I know that the PSRE463 and PSRE473 have the Groove Creator, that comes with 35 grooves. No more and no less. You cannot actually create your own custom grooves from the ground up. So if the PSRE483 comes out, I will be interested to see if they still include the Groove Creator and if so, that you can actually create your own custom grooves from the ground up.

@gearfacts 2 ай бұрын

Personally I doubt there'll be a groove creator because that's a feature they're more likely to leave to the advanced keyboards. But I HOPE I'm wrong!

The pianos and saxophone are exceptionally good for a keyboard in this range and the guitars are also more realistic compared to the E303. I know Voice Articulation was introduced on the E373 but still an impressive feature to have on an entry level keyboard.

Hi. Can I record a song in this keyboard and export the file in midi format to my CPU so I can edit the music sheet? If so, what kind of cable do I need? Thank you.

Well, they can feed a mini file into it so I’m pretty sure you’d be able to feed a midi file out of it. The manuals available online if you want to confirm to be honest, I’m not 100% sure.

Other than the learning features, doesn't really look like there's much new? Was sad to see they're still stuck on only 2 chord detection modes; seems they refuse to give up on that (like Casio refuses to include audio interfaces in the USB port). Was hoping to see full keyboard chord detection as an option

And what are the new features and improvements comparing to 373?

@gearfacts 2 ай бұрын

A lot of people are asking that - it's a general step up in the quality of sounds (though many are just the same as the 373) and there are a lot of new styles to try out. The operating system is a little bit faster too, though it takes a bit of getting used to, it's not the familiar PSRE system we've gotten used to over the last 15 years!

@cheapnoiseinthehouse5578 2 ай бұрын

Ok. Tell me this. What have they improved here? The same xg sound engine has been used since 1994, you might say they are adding sounds but these high quality sounds already existed in psr keyboards from the 90s. They have been milking everyone's money since 2005 ish and everyone is still impressed with them 20 years later? The rhythms were also from early Yamaha psr keyboards. So in my opinion, there's nothing to be excited about. But that's just my opinion.

@amusic9825 2 ай бұрын

Yeah. But Yamaha has tremendously improved the the acoustic drum sounds. It sounds like something from SX700 which is 5 times the price of this keyboard.

@LittleRichard1988 2 ай бұрын

The Yamaha PSR-E series keyboards are entry level keyboards, the PSR-E3 and E4 series keyboards have always been a respectable keyboard for anybody starting out and people who buy these keyboards know exactly what they are buying. The Yamaha E473 is actually better and more powerful as it has more panel instruments, it even has some of the same sounds from the SX600 and SX700 but at a more affordable price. Also general midi and XG support is still a useful feature for people who wish to play along to midi backing tracks which is the main reason Yamaha keyboards still support XG. To be honest I personally find the Genos 2 underwhelming because that's well out of my price range and arranger keybaords aren't really my thing.

@amusic9825 2 ай бұрын

@LittleRichard1988 Even 10 year old PSR S650 sounds much better than e473. It's unbelievable that Yamaha improved the drums this way. It's tremendously and immensely better than 473. But it sad to see they are still clinging to their 90s terrible voices. I've heard a new electric guitar in the e383. PSRE desperately needs a better electric guitar voices.
