820 VOICES AND SUPER ARTICULATION LITE VOICES
Enjoy 820 realistic, expressive instrument sounds from here and around the world with pro-level sound quality.

The PSR-E473 is equipped with Super Articulation Lite, a function that realistically simulates the distinct ways each instrument is played—for example, the scratch sound of a distorted electric guitar or the harmonics of a nylon-string guitar.

LIVE CONTROL KNOBS, MOTION EFFECT FUNCTIONALITY
The Motion Effect function lets you instantly add effects while you play that can, morph the sound with a filter, create pitch risers, add tape stop effects & slices, or other new dynamic sound effects. All by simply holding down the button!

The two Live Control Knobs make it easy to manipulate and interact with the sound you produce as you play.

PITCH BEND WHEEL, VIBRATO AND SUSTAIN CONTROLLERS
Moving the pitch bend wheel up or down changes the note you’re playing smoothly, bringing instrument Voices like guitars, sax and trumpet and synthesizers to life, widening your range of expression.

MIC INPUT AND VOCAL EFFECTS
Connect a microphone and sing along with your playing while using built-in studio-quality vocal effects, giving you everything you need for a pro-sounding performance.

2 CHANNELS/41 TYPES OF DSP INSERTION EFFECTS
The PSR-E473 comes equipped with left and right audio outputs that allow you to easily connect to PA systems and studio equipment – separate from the headphones jack.
