The PSR Tutorial web site is available to help owners of Yamaha PSR, Tyros and Genos arranger keyboards get the most out of their instrument by providing information, resources, and support over the entire span of ownership.  This includes learning the basics of how the keyboard operates, obtaining or creating resources files (style, multi pad, voice, and midi files; registration banks; music finder databases), creating midi and MP3 files, even providing tips and hints for aspiring performers.

The PSR Tutorial Forum, is a major component of the web site, and is the place where owners -- or potential owners -- of Yamaha PSR, Tyros, Genos (or even CVP and DGX) keyboards can meet to exchange music-related news, ideas, and information.  This is where you come when you need help resolving music issues or problems that you encounter that may not be covered in the pages of the main site.  Forum moderators and members all work together in a friendly and helpful environment to assist new (and experienced!) players in whatever way they can. It is a cooperative effort and everyone is invited to join the fun and participate regardless of their experience or time with the forum.

Discussion Topics in the forum are started by launching a new subject (topic) in one of the forum "Boards".  Forum members may reply to any topic and all the topic replies become part of a "thread" defined by the initial subject posting.

We don't create new keyboard boards until a product is officially released and identified.
