Flagship Indian Sounds. Powerful Stereo Output. Expressive Performance Control.
The Yamaha PSR-I610 is the flagship 61-key portable keyboard in Yamaha's Indian-focused PSR-I range. Designed and manufactured in India for Indian musicians, learners and performers, it combines 927 instrument Voices—including 50 Indian Voices—with 392 accompaniment Styles, including 70 Indian Styles.
Fifty Riyaz patterns and 75 lesson Songs support Indian music study, while pitch-bend and modulation wheels, articulation switches, control knobs and an expression-pedal input provide detailed real-time control. Powerful 12 W + 12 W speakers, microphone input, independent audio outputs, sampling and looping tools make it ready for serious practice, composition and live performance.
Key Features
927 Voices with 50 authentic Indian instrument sounds
Explore a broad palette of pianos, guitars, orchestral instruments and world sounds alongside 50 Indian Voices. Twenty-nine Super Articulation Lite Voices recreate characteristic techniques such as Bansuri vibrato and Santoor tremolo using the dedicated articulation switches.
392 Styles, 50 Riyaz patterns and 75 lesson Songs
Seventy Indian accompaniment Styles cover diverse regional and contemporary music. Riyaz provides Tabla or Mridangam with Tanpura for focused practice, while 35 Indian Songs include traditional Raga, Geetam, Swara Jathi and Korvai material.
Touch response with pitch, modulation and pedal expression
The 61-key organ-style keyboard offers four touch-response settings. Pitch-bend and modulation wheels, two control knobs, articulation switches and support for an optional expression pedal let performers shape harmonium, Bansuri and other sustained sounds with greater nuance.
Powerful 12 W + 12 W stereo speaker system
Two 12 cm speakers driven by 24 watts of amplification provide confident room-filling output. Mega Boost can add up to 6 dB, while the India EQ setting optimises tonal balance for Indian music performance.
Quick Sampling, Looper and multitrack recording
Capture up to four short samples from the microphone input, AUX input, USB audio interface or WAV files and trigger them as one-shots or loops. Record 10 six-track MIDI Songs, layer phrases with the Looper or save stereo WAV performances to a USB flash drive.
Performance and studio-ready connectivity
Connect a microphone, headphones, sustain pedal and optional expression pedal. Individual L/L+R and R outputs feed a PA or recording setup, USB Type-C to Host carries MIDI and stereo audio, and USB Type-A to Device supports flash-drive playback and recording.
