Find Out Why You Need A Driver For Your Yamaha Keyboard

By Raymond Ebersole


Regardless of whether you are a beginner, intermediate or professional player, Yamaha keyboards can easily be connected to any computer for sound processing. You can easily transfer MIDI files to and from the keyboard itself using a driver for your Yamaha keyboard.

All the latest models, including the YPT-230 package, from Yamaha come with a USB MIDI functionality. In order to use this feature, you must have the right driver. This can be downloaded from the manufacturer's official website.

Firmware upgrades and other MIDI drivers can also be purchased from third parties. There are many websites that sell drivers for different models, so you can find drivers for your specific model. Those who use Mac computers can also get drivers from the same websites.

If you are looking for a new Yamaha keyboard fit for both beginners and pros, you may want to consider the new YPT-230 Keyboard Package.

This gorgeous keyboard package includes the following: 1 compact Yamaha keyboard, 1 pair of closed-cup headsets, 1 X-brace stand, and a dedicated power adapter. What we love about this package (in addition to the perfect features of the keyboard itself), is that Yamaha has included a set of headphones without increasing the price very much.

Genuine Yamaha earphones and headphones can cost anywhere between $100 - $400 when bought by themselves, so you really are getting a lot of value with the YPT-230 package.

The keyboard for the 230 is compact but has full-sized keys. You will have no probelms adjusting to the Yamaha if you are used to playing an upright or grand piano. The keyboard is not bulky at all unlike other brands, making it easier to transport. It is never a problem to find a space in your living room or den.

One of the best things about the YPT-230 package is that it comes with more than 380 "voices" ranging from Harpsichord to Octave. It also has a compact design and the keys are full-sized.

All the natural voices have been perfected, so you will get a crisp and loud note every time you play a piece using any of the sounds available in the instrument's database. If you are interested in playing rock, jazz or electronica pieces, the natural voices will amaze you. So, you can start experimenting with the features available on the instrument.

When you play the YPT-230, you will notice a big difference in the way it renders sound. This is due to the UWS, or ultra-wide stereo provided by Yamaha. So, if you have been accustomed to playing an upright piano or grand piano, you can get a very similar experience when you play the YPT-230.

Price-wise, this keyboard package is very reasonable, because as of this writing it is being retailed for less than $200. The original price is around $230, so it's really less expensive compared to other brands. It is a mid-range unit, perfect for people who want do more with their keyboards at home.
