With the HE8W you can be almost anything - a symphony orchestra, or a rock band, or a jazz combo, even a soloist. It makes your music come alive with voices made by Yamaha's AWM and FM sound technology.
51 voices complemented by a full range of rhythms, and a choice of memory and accompaniment features that allow you to create a sound that's all your own.
The 49 note ( touch - responsive ) manuals and 20 note pedalboard mean you can make your performance dazzle.
The rhythm section has everything from a sultry blues beat to a high powered dance track.
Each rhythm has intros that open your songs, fill-ins that define your phrases, and endings that take you out in style. You can break into a drum solo too: the lower and pedal keyboards turn into 34 different percussion instruments that you can play like real drums.
With the HE8W's Registration Menu, you can instantly call up just the right mix of voices, rhythms and special effects you need for your song - no matter what style.
There are 20 preset combinations ( registrations ) and there's room to store your own too - in the Registration memory.
The Auto Bass Chord feature backs you with bass lines and accompaniment patterns.
The Arpeggio Chord feature lets you choose just the right chord patterns. Melody On Chord adds harmony to single note melodies you play on the upper keyboard - shaped by the chords you play on the lower keyboard. You can trigger the Melody On Chord with the knee lever. The Chord Sequence Programmer lets you record the chords for a whole song then play them back while you bring out your melody. Using the Foot Switch you can bend your lead notes, stop and start your rhythm and trigger rhythm fill ins or endings.
