It isn’t clear from the manual which sound generation technology was being used, although we presume some kind of PCM but not Yamaha’s much developed AWM system as this didn’t really come into its own until the 1990s. While basic by today’s standards, it featured 49 keys (four octaves), six sounds, accompaniments with various finger modes, ability to add an expression pedal, and battery or power adapter usage. Not the lowest numbered PSR created, but the first. The first model Yamaha released in its PSR range was the PSR-15 in 1984. We’ll also link to other pages, both on this site and elsewhere, when good archive/comparison information and resources are available. We will continue to add to this page as more data becomes available.
We’ve tried our best to be as thorough as possible, but with some models now long extinct, and the diminishing availability of accurate information and resources for electronic equipment from the 1980s and 1990s, we can’t automatically cover everything in great detail. Build quality has usually been reasonable at least for amateur home use, and they are usually marketed as being ideal for younger and beginner players. As technology has improved and prices have dropped, later models have often included more functionality at less expense. There have been close to 175 models with the PSR branding, including very basic keyboards but also those with more high-end features. This article sheds light on those models, from 1984 when the first “PortaTone” models emerged, right up to the present day with versatile, high-technology instruments good for both beginners and seasoned keyboard musicians.
