Along with its power supply music holder, manual and sustain pedal. Also come with a small thumb drive.  Great keyboard arranger very powerful. The PSR1500 represents a huge step up in technology and sound for the entry-level position of Arranger Workstation products from Yamaha. Advanced features like USB "To Device" for connecting to the Internet and connecting peripheral storage devices like floppy disk drives or hard drives, modeled organ with nine virtual drawbars, a large display screen for score and lyrics, 96-note polyphony for dense sections of music, internal user memory for storing songs and other data, full XG and GM2 compatibility and 32 channels of MIDI via USB. Useful features like pitch bend plus a mod wheel, four sections to each accompaniment style with three dedicated Intro/Ending buttons, L/R input & output jacks, two assignable foot switch jacks, built-in help in six languages and SmartMedia for fast access to your data. 
The PSR-1500 has 2 USB ports on the back, USB To Host and USB TO DEVICE.
USB TO HOST is plug and play simple for recording and playing back MIDI files, as well as transferring data to and from your computer.
USB TO DEVICE is for connecting optional peripheral USB storage devices like floppy disk drives, thumb drives and hard drives. USB TO DEVICE is also used for connecting the keyboard to the Internet using an optional USB-Ethernet or USB Wi-Fi adaptor. You'll need your computer to activate an account, but once that's done, you can browse through songs and styles and download music directly into your keyboard, play it, score it and learn it – no computer required. To learn more about this feature, visit the  services page. For the ultimate in user control, if the MIDI file is an XF file with embedded chord data, you can re-mix it. The keyboard will follow the chords in the song and replace appropriate tracks with auto accompaniment tracks like bass, drums, horns and guitar. For example, you can take a Rock song and convert it in real time to Latin, Jazz, Country or Hip Hop. This feature also adds accompaniment to interactive digital sheet music, which normally would only have the left and right piano parts (see Scorch XF at  ). And with Yamaha's interactive Guide Mode, even a novice can learn to play their favorite music. Simply start a song, press Guide, and the keyboard highlights the notes on sheet music in the display screen and slows down or even waits for you to find the notes.
Bigger screens convey more information
There are many advantages to having a larger screen. For example, the ample 320 x 240 screen on the PSR-1500 is able to show you mixer settings at a glance, Internet information, the chords you are playing, what sounds are on the right and left side of the keyboard, what Style or MIDI file is currently playing, virtual drawbars, score and lyrics. The bottom line is that since it's your window into how the music is being created – you might as well make it a big one.
Modeled organ with virtual drawbars
For that great vintage organ sound, the Organ Flutes on the PSR-1500 use Modeling Technology – independently oscillating voices to simulate the rotating tone generation wheels found in classic organs. In true Yamaha fashion, you can select the organ type, control nine virtual drawbars (switch between 16' and 5 1/3'), rotary speed and type, percussive attack and length and vibrato on/off, depth and speed. Then, save your settings and recall your favorite organ voices with one button push.
SmartMedia™ offers high-capacity storage
