Yamaha PSR-A700 Arranger Workstation for Middle Eastern Music

The Yamaha PSR-A700 is a 61-key arranger workstation built for Middle Eastern musical traditions, refined from the trusted legacy of the PSR-A5000.

Expressive Tools Shaped for Authentic Regional Performance

Crossfade Portamento creates the natural pitch slides essential to Middle Eastern phrasing, while the responsive joystick gives real-time control over pitch bend and modulation. Scale Tune offers precise Arabic scale customization with five dedicated memory buttons. The Chord Looper records and loops up to eight chord progressions, freeing your left hand.

AWM Stereo Sampling produces lifelike, layered sound across 128-note polyphony, leaving headroom for sustained passages and Style playback. The 226 Super Articulation Voices and 25 MegaVoices respond to playing dynamics, while 700 MB of Expansion memory lets you add new sounds as your repertoire grows.
