Works very good and and minimal wear visible. Some of the features: 100 Realistic Voices Voices are state-of-the-art digital recordings of actual instruments created with Yamaha's Advanced Wave Memory (AWM) system. These feature acoustic and electric pianos, organs, basses and guitars, brass, woodwinds, strings and tuned percussion, as well as a complete selection of modern electronic and sampled sounds. The voice section also includes a group of several multi-percussion sounds directly from the keyboard. Professional Quality Reverb A special DSP (Digital Signal Processing) control adds studio-quality digital reverb to the voices, giving them a luxurious, natural ambience. Two settings - Room and Hall - are available and the depth of reverb effects can be adjusted for each voice. Flexible Keyboard Features Touch response gives you amazing expressive control as you play. The realistic voices respond to subtle nuances of your keyboard from the softest pianissimos to the most dramatic fortissimos. Split Voice and Dual Voice functions provide sophisticated and flexible ways of playing two different voices from the keyboard at the same time. Performance Controls A Pitch Bend Wheel conveniently located to the left of the keyboard provides further real-time performance control. It lets you recreate, for example, the way a guitarist or horn player bends notes. Auto Harmony An advanced Auto Harmony function automatically fills out the melodies you play with professional-sounding harmonies. Six different settings - Duet, Trio, Block, Country, Octave and Strum - provide a wide variety of stylistic voices often used in jazz, popular and country music. Voice Memory Voice Memory provides four user presets for storing your favorite voices for instant selection. This not only lets you store a voice (or voices, in the case of a Dual Voice setting) to a preset, you can also store all of its related settings: Auto Harmony, Reverb Depth, Volume, Octave and Pan. A total of 16 memory spaces are available for your voices. Auto Accompaniment Automatically provides rhythm patterns, matching bass lines and various orchestrated backing parts for your keyboard performances with push-button control over rhythm and accompaniment style variations. Flexible Accompaniment Control Single Finger mode lets you automatically produce fully orchestrated accompaniment, while Fingered modes allow you to play all the notes of the chords yourself with the PSR-500 creating the appropriate accompaniment.

The Chord banks memorize the chord changes you play and the Auto Accompaniment styles you use.
