Official description

The PSR-E323 is a touch sensitive instrument that features 482 dynamic, authentic voices, with 361 XGlite voices, 12 drum kits and a sound effect kit. The PSR-E323 also has 106 accompaniment styles and 102 built-in songs.[1]

Overview

The Yamaha PSR-E323 is an entry-level home electronic keyboard dedicated for beginner, learning and personal usage. It is positioned in the low-end class, competing with similar products such as Casio LK-220 and CTK-3000.

The keyboard features a velocity-sensitive keys with adjustable sensitivity setting, a total of 482 instrument sounds including stereo-sampled piano and Yamaha XG soundset, a set of 106 different auto-accompaniment rhythms, built-in lesson system for practicing, stereo bass reflex speakers, as well as over 100 built-in songs.

Like most electronic keyboards in general, the PSR-E323 is compatible with MIDI standard, with an integrated MIDI input/output jacks for connecting to a computer or other electronic instruments.

Sound engine

The keyboard contains a scaled-down version of Yamaha's Advanced Wave Memory (AWM) tone generation system, which is a PCM sample-based synthesis engine. The samples are an adaptation of Yamaha's earlier PortaTone series of home keyboards produced between 1997 and 2006, as well as the MU-series sound modules produced from 1994 to 2002.

It features a 32-note polyphony with 16-part multi-timbral support and Yamaha XG Lite sound set.

One notable feature of the keyboard is "Portable Grand", a function that instantly sets the keyboard to a stereo-sampled piano sound. The piano are digital samples of a Yamaha grand piano dating back to the early-1990s, and was formerly used in digital pianos at the time such as YFP, YPP, and YPR series, as well as early models of Clavinova.

Successors

Yamaha has produced a series of similar keyboards as direct successor to the PSR-E323; the PSR-E333 (2011), which maintains otherwise identical design, features and sounds, but with a black color, 3D stereo function, and a new plug-and-play USB connection replacing the traditional MIDI in/out ports; the PSR-E343 (2013), featuring a redesigned panel layout, new sounds, audio input (AUX) connection, and iOS device compatibility; the PSR-E353 (2015), featuring the same design and functions as its predecessor but with improved sound engine, enhanced speaker system and grey finish; the PSR-E363[2] (2017) featuring a major redesign and improved sound system, alongside a 76-note version (PSR-EW300)

I accidentally gave it my neural connector, and while trying to figure out how to get it back swapped my armor onto it (turns out shiftrightclick does that). Eventually I got them both back, but while my elytra was on the stand aus210 stole it. I asked for it back and they repeatedly denied it.They have claimed:- they can keep it because I intentionally left it there (this is wrong, and I said so)- there was no evidence that it was mine so they can keep it (...)EDIT: valithor got involved and got them to actually give it back, which they did after ~10 minutes of generally delaying, apparently leaving it in storage, and dropping it wrong.
gollark: Someone had a problem with two mutually recursive functions (one was defined after the other), so I fixed that for them. Then I explained stack overflows and how that made their design (`mainScreen` calls `itemScreen` calls `mainScreen`...) problematic. Their suggested solution was to just capture the error and restart the program. Since they weren't entirely sure how to do *that*, their idea was to make it constantly ping their webserver and have another computer reboot it if it stopped.
