Silent Brass™ ST5 Performance Studio

Have you ever wanted to perform using the latest effects technology, but have never been able to afford the high price of putting together your own effects rack? Have you ever been frustrated at the lack of affordable – and effective – teaching tools? Introducing Yamaha’s new ST5 Performance Studio. The newest addition to the Silent Brass™ family, the ST5 packs a lot of features into a small, affordable package. With the ST5 you have access to 50 preset and 50 user effects, and you can even customize the user effects (with up to 6 “layers” of effects per patch) to build a completely new effect. Then just connect it to the PA system and get ready for the performance of your life. The ST5 is also a very powerful teaching tool – it includes a transposable tuner, a metronome (including drum tracks), a Phrase Trainer (a function that records, loops and slows down the recording without affecting the pitch – perfect for transcribing), and real-time key transposition (now you can change the key of any song on any CD, up to one octave up or down, without affecting the tempo). All of this in a unit the size of a Walkman! Yamaha has done it again – the new ST5!
