LCD display, keyboard and media content (e.g., styles, DJ patterns, voices), it’s quite a manufacturing feat to deliver a fun, usable product at such an aggressive price point! Given that the E443 consists of a computer-based sound generator, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for the auxiliary audio input, The E443 sells for about the same price as a mid-range “boutique” guitar pedal. (The E443 does not ship with an AC adapter.)įor the sake of review, I played similar styles and MIDI songs on the old PSR-273 and the more expensive PSR-S950 arranger workstation ($250 street for the E443 version $1,900 street for the S950). Fortunately, the MOX6 uses the same PS-150 adapter and I didn’t need to buy yet another adapter. So far, I’ve only used an AC adapter and don’t have a feel for battery life. The E443 is powered by either an AC adapter (PA-150) or six AA batteries. It has 61 keys and a built-in stereo sound system comprising two woofers and two tweeters. The PSR-E443 is the top of the entry-level portable keyboards from Yamaha. The 273 first made the scene in 2003, so it was definitely time for an update. Up to this point, I’ve been playing an old Yamaha PSR-273. I like to use a battery powered keyboard at rehearsals since an all-in-one sets up and tears down without a lot of work. Ah, it’s always fun to post a “first impressions” review of a new toy! In this case, the Yamaha PSR-E443 portable arranger.
