Yamaha PSR-I610 Portable Keyboard for Indian Music
The Yamaha PSR-I610 is a 61-key portable arranger keyboard built with world musicians in mind, offering an exceptional library of 927 instrument voices spanning classical, contemporary, and regional styles from across the globe.

Intuitive performance controls like Live Control knobs, Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels, and a Portamento button give players expressive, real-time shaping of their sound, while the built-in 12W x 2 stereo speakers deliver enough volume for small venues and intimate performances. At a practical weight and compact footprint, the PSR-I610 moves easily from rehearsal space to stage, and its connectivity options including mic input, USB, and foot controller jack make it versatile enough to grow with a performer's needs.

50 Indian Voices, Infinite Musical Possibilities
The PSR-I610 goes far beyond a standard keyboard by incorporating 50 authentic Indian instrument voices, from the resonant pluck of a Sitar to the airy breath of a Bansuri flute. Super Articulation Lite technology brings these voices to life with instrument-specific nuances, automatically rendering techniques like Bansuri vibrato and Santoor tremolo as you play. Add to that 70 Indian accompaniment styles and the dedicated Riyaz function, which provides Tabla, Mridangam, and Tanpura rhythm patterns for practicing Ragas, and the PSR-I610 becomes a genuinely thoughtful instrument for musicians rooted in Indian classical and contemporary traditions.
Expressive Controls That Respond to Every Nuance
Great keyboard playing is about more than hitting the right notes, and the PSR-I610 is designed to capture every expressive detail. The Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels, Portamento button, and assignable Live Control knobs give you hands-on, real-time control over your sound, ideal for the fluid phrasing and ornamentation central to many world music styles. An optional expression pedal can be connected for even greater dynamic shaping, and the looper function lets you layer recorded phrases over live playing to build rich, layered performances on your own.
Built to Perform, On Stage and On the Go
With dual 12W built-in speakers, the PSR-I610 is loud enough to fill a room without any additional amplification, and a mic input lets vocalists or instrumentalists plug in and sing along. When a larger venue calls for it, connecting to a PA system is straightforward via the available outputs. The keyboard's compact, lightweight build means it travels easily to rehearsals, gigs, or community performances, and with USB connectivity and app support for Rec'n'Share and MIDI Song to Style, sharing and expanding your music is just as simple.
