SKU: SHS500B
The Yamaha SHS500 Keytar contains 30 high-quality Yamaha sounds including piano, synths and 2 drum kits. So, you are ready to rock straight out of the box. It also has Bluetooth MIDI for connection to your laptop or iPad to access all those lovely musical apps and virtual instrument software. But central to the SHS-500 experience is an app called the Chord Tracker. This app will analyse the music on your phone or tablet and then send chord data directly to the Keytar. Why is that helpful? Because now you can play along with your favourite tunes and you will never play a wrong note! You can have your music playback through the SHS-500 if you want, making it an audio interface as well. On the neck you get performance controls such as pitch bend, modulation, octave shifting and playback controls for your connected device.
Sonogenic SHS-500 is a new type of instrument from Yamaha that is perfect for music lovers who want to participate in making music, but maybe haven't learned how. This Keytar ("Key"board + Gui"tar") gives you the freedom to dance, jump and move around while you play!
Jam Mode - Play with your favorite music on the spot.
Thanks to Jam Mode you can instantly enjoy playing along with your favorite songs. Simply connect the instrument with the free app Chord Tracker, and play along with songs stored on your smart device. No matter which keys you press, the notes automatically match the song, so you don’t have to worry about hitting the wrong notes, fingering technique or even knowing the proper scales and chords:
