Yamaha's PSR-S550B takes their popular PSR-S500 arranger workstation leaps ahead, featuring improved sounds, styles, and looks. The PSR-S550B packs a 16-track sequencer, USB MIDI, and 774 voices into a 61-key board with a sleek black finish and stylish white cone speakers. What's more, you've got 22 drum kits, reverb and chorus effects, a smooth-moving pitch bend wheel, and fast-access voice and style category buttons. And when you take its great price into consideration, there's no reason not to arrange, compose, and get creative with the Yamaha PSR-S550B!

774 voices plus 22 drum kits
The Yamaha PSR-S550B boasts incredible new sounds, including full XG support and a bunch of Ethnic voices and drum kits. In all, you get 774 different voices and 22 drum kits, to develop intricate songs and arrangements - whatever style of music you're drawn to create.

Tons of reverb, chorus, and DSP effects
While the PSR-S550B's tremendous sound bank certainly stands by itself, you've got even more power in your sonic armory! Just dial in your perfect, custom sound using the 36 onboard reverbs, 45 onboard choruses, and 239 DSP effects.

16-track sequencer and USB connection
When it's time to lay down your ideas and get arranging, you've got plenty of room to take charge. The Yamaha PSR-S550B sports a 16-track/5-song sequencer, so you've got all the tools you need from start to finish: get creative with tons of voices, tweak your sound with the effects, then track it all out. There's even a USB connection so you can store your MIDI sequences, then load them into your computer for further editing. Or, use your PSR-S550B as a great-feeling MIDI controller for playing virtual instruments into your DAW!

Built-in speakers
There's no need to hook up speakers when you want to get creative with the PSR-S550B, though a headphone output's onboard for working anytime, anywhere. Onboard, you've got two 12W speakers with stylish white speaker cones, for great sound and even great looks.

A wealth of styles and a Style Creator function
Want backing tracks or just great rhythms to launch yourself into a new song idea? The PSR-S550B puts you in touch with 176 styles, including new dance styles. In fact, the PSR-S500's Style Engine is similar to the top-of-this-line PSR-S700. Each style has three intros and endings as well as four variations and fill-ins. What's more, you can even create your own custom sounds using the easy Style Creator Function. Whatever you do, there are four One Touch Settings onboard and dedicated Voice and Style category buttons, so it's easy to get to just what you're looking for.
