Amazingly easy and powerful performance functions .......................... page 23
With the Jam Function, you can instantly enjoy playing along with your favorite songs. Simply connect
the instrument with the free app "Chord Tracker" and play along with songs stored to your smart
device. No matter which keys you press, the notes automatically match the song, so you don't have to
worry about fingering or even knowing the proper scales and chords. You can simply lose yourself in
the performance, just as if you were jamming with your favorite artist.
For information on devices that are compatible with "Chord Tracker," check the Yamaha website.
Control interface for authentic playing ........................................... pages 15, 22
In addition to a Pitch Bend wheel and Modulation wheel, the instrument also features knobs that let
you control a wide range of effects, giving you extraordinarily expressive, dynamic performance
power.
Slim and ultra-lightweight body
An ultralight body weighing only 1.5 kg and slim form make the instrument easily portable. It can also
be used on battery power, letting you enjoy playing anywhere you want.
