Many Yamaha digital musical instruments use AKM components, including E4xx models. AKM has tried to shift production elsewhere as a stop-gap. The Japanese police and fire authorities have only recently allowed AKM to begin clean-up. This was the only AKM plant making DACs and ADCs. The AKM plant made the digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and ADCs for Yamaha and many other vendors. The ships are literally parked in the sound and are making so much noise at idle that nearby residents are complaining about the noise at night!Īnother factor is the fire at the Asahi Kasei (AKM) semiconductor plant. I live near Puget Sound and the Seattle, Tacoma and Everett ports are chockfull of container ships.
#YAMAHA PSR E403 RELEASE DATE UPGRADE#
The only thing I could conclude - the E473 sound set will probably be a superset of the E373 (which was a nice upgrade at that price point).ĬOVID-related supply chain and shipping problems continue. I started speculating about all of this myself. I'd like to see some real manufacturer information about this model at some point! I could speculate that it will have a thousand voices, 256 note polyphony, and 128 registrations - but it would all be wishful thinking. The video linked above is interesting, but just speculation. What's taking Yamaha so long with the E473? I was hoping maybe something would've come out at the Summer NAMM show, but nope. It seems like the cel phone companies seem to get their new models out, no matter what. Okay, so Covid-19 has caused delays, but it's now well into 2021, and still nothing. So, we would have expected the E473 last year, in 2020. I recall the PSR-E433 being released in 2012, the E443 in 2014, the E453 in 2016, and the E463 in 2018 - unless countries outside the US got these models earlier.īut otherwise, these keyboards have been released like clockwork, every 2 years. I'm not so sure about those dates above - they seem to be about a year early for the PSR-E400 series, at least for the more recent ones. PSR-E463 / PSR-EW410 (17 April 2017, 758 high quality voices with 1 sample voice for sampling, 235 styles, 30 built in songs, 10 user songs, 8 banks with 4 registrations, and groove generator) The EW410 offers 76 keys and features phono jacks for connecting external powered speakers.
