Simply install it to your computer (Windows only) and connect the instrument via USB cable - and play musical games and learn songs the fun way. I Stereo Sampled Piano page 21 The EZ-250i has a special Portable Grand Piano Voice - created by state-of-the-art stereo sampling technology and using Yamaha's sophiscated AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation system. I Touch Response page 27 The exceptionally natural Touch Response feature, with a convenient front panel on/off switch, gives you maximum expressive level control over the voices.

I Yamaha Education Suite pages 40, 42, 49 The EZ-250i features the new Yamaha Education Suite - a set of learning tools that utilize the latest technology to make studying and practicing music more fun and fulfilling than ever before! I One Touch Setting page 25 One Touch Setting (OTS), for automatically calling up an appropriate voice for playing with the selected Style and Song. I Powerful Speaker System The built-in stereo amplifier/speaker system of the EZ-250i - with a special Bass Boost feature - provides exceptionally powerful, high-quality sound, letting you hear the full dynamic range of the EZ-250i's authentic voices. I USB...page 56 This enables you to connect the instrument directly to a computer, for recording your performances and playing song data with the computer. I Flash Memory page 58 The internal flash memory of the instrument lets you save song data from a computer. The songs saved to the memory can then be used for playing and practice in the same way as the preset songs. I GM System Level 1 "GM System Level 1" is an addition to the MIDI standard which ensures that any GM-compatible music data can be accurately played by any GM-compatible tone generator, regardless of manufacturer. The GM mark is affixed to all software and hardware products that support GM System Level. I XGlite As its name implies, "XGlite" is a simplified version of Yamaha's high-quality XG tone generation format. Naturally, you can play back any XG song data using an XGlite tone generator. However, keep in mind that some songs may play back differently compared to the original data, due to the reduced set of control parameters and effects. 6 EZ-250i Owner's Manual 4
