[3] This is the number of keys the keyboard has. For comparison, most acoustic pianos have 88 keys.
[4] Organ style are non-weighted. Piano style keys are shaped like piano keys. FSX is a higher level of quality synth type action.
[7] Polyphony is how many notes that can be played at the same time. More is always better.
[8] The pitch wheel allows you to add natural note bends to instruments like guitars. The Modulation wheel allows you to add vibrato to instruments like the trumpet.
[9] Display types include backlit or not, color and VGA
[10] Lyric Display is the ability to display lyrics to songs in the LCD Screen. There are commercially available song files with lyric information for you to sing along with. The MIDI file will play and the lyrics will advance automatically.
[11] Score Display will allow you to see the music notation of any MIDI file you purchase, or record yourself, in the screen of the keyboard. Yamaha keyboards that have Score Display have the ability to import Digital Sheet music into the keyboard for you to learn and play along with (called Scorch). For more information visit www.yamahamusicsoft.com.
[14] All Yamaha keyboards come with a stereo piano sample. All keyboards cover the basic sounds like pianos, electric pianos, guitars, bass, strings horns and drums. Again, more is always better.
[27] Styles are automatic backing parts. You select a Style (ex. Rock), pick your favorite song and start playing. The Style will follow you through the piece of music providing drums, bass, guitar and many other musical instruments parts for you. You'll sound like an entire band.
[29] User Styles are the ability to load in more styles from Disk.
[39] The recorder in Yamaha keyboards works just like a multi-track recorder. You can record one track (ex. Piano) and then overdub your next track (ex. Strings) while listening to your first track. It can also record all of the Auto Accompaniment data. It's like having a recording studio right inside your keyboard!
[43] The Disk Drive gives you the opportunity to archive your song data and load more songs in. It also opens the door to loading in additional Styles. On the higher models, you can also store Registration Data, Music Database Data and Edited Voice Data.
[47] USB is probably the most convenient of all methods of connecting a musical instrument to your computer. All that is required is a "driver" (included). Not only does USB act as a MIDI Interface but in some keyboards like TYROS, the keyboard becomes an extension to your computer. You can edit voices, move and rename files, transfer data etc. The computer becomes a storage device for your keyboard.
