General MIDI Logo Computer Connectivity: General MIDI (GM) compatible The music pathway to your computer and the Internet is MIDI. It's the way that keyboards communicate with computers. And because the PSR-E203 is General MIDI (GM) compatible, you have access to thousands of MIDI song files on the Internet. Sound Quality: Real stereo (Not just 2 Speakers) Some keyboards have two speakers but aren't stereo. Don't be fooled. Just because a keyboard has two speakers doesn't mean that it's truly stereo with two separate amplifiers. All Yamaha Portable Keyboards feature stereo-sampling technology. 32 Note Polyphony and 16 Part Multi Timbrel In electronic keyboards, the more sounds made at the same time - polyphony - the more memory is needed. Obviously, more is always better, because too little polyphony can cause dropouts in dense passages of music. Some keyboards at this price point have only 12-note polyphony. The PSR-E203 has 32 notes of polyphony and will play back 16 different parts or sounds at once (16-part multi timbrel); enough for the most demanding needs.
