PSR SX???

...
I wished all this were true, but I am wondering whether someone is not having a lot of fun on our cost???

Well we don't have to engage in this speculation at all... but we can if we choose to.

I'm going to just wait and see for Yamaha to make an official announcement.

Amen to that!

I think it can be fun to speculate about upcoming models and firmware updates, and it can be fun to talk about new features we'd like to see in future models and firmware updates. But it can also lead to a lot of grief, either by arguing with others about suggested changes, or by getting our hopes dashed when the new model or firmware update doesn't have everything that speculation and rumors had led us to expect.

[vbdx66]

Well, that's exactly what speculation is all about... 

[Danny1972]

Not sure if anybody has seen this but the rumors continue.....

But... at least make it a little but more convincing 

However, the most interesting part of that is that they're saying October this year & that's not far away. If it's true then I'd expect to some legitimate info about this keyboard soon.

[SeaGtGruff]

I'm tempted to call BS on it, as there are a few things about the photos that strike me as suspicious:

1) The model name on the back has some artifacting that's a little sharper and looks inconsistent with the blurry lettering elsewhere on the back.

2) By itself that might not seem very damning, but there's also a rectangular area where the color of the back panel is darker, so taken with the point above it smells like an original model name has been edited out of an original photo and replaced by a new model name that was typed in using a graphics editing program.

3) The model name on the front looks different than the model name on the back-- "Psr SX900" with a capital "P," lowercase "sr," and no dash, versus "psr-SX900."

4) Again, by itself that might not seem very damning, but once again there's a rectangular area where the color of the front panel is lighter.

5) Furthermore, the model name on the front looks like it's printed on a surface that's directly facing the viewer, whereas the actual surface of the panel is slanting away from the viewer, so the model name ought to be at an angle slanting away from the viewer and displaying evidence of perspective. So again, it smells like an original model name was edited out of an original photo and replaced by a new model name that was typed in (without paying careful attention to being consistent with the way it was typed on the photo of the back) using a graphics editing program.

Also, looking at the original photo that was presumably taken with someone's phone, the lettering and coloring of the model name in that photo doesn't match the lettering and coloring in the new photos. Look at how small the "psr" is in relation to the rest of the model name, plus the shape of the "SX" letters, plus the slightly darker color (light gray or silver?) of the "900" (or whatever the number is). Also, the letters and numbers (especially the numbers) in the first photo have a blocky appearance and are not slanted to the right (italicized) at all.

And the surface of the back panel is more sharply angled in the original photo, and the profile of the side possibly has more of a funky shape rather than being a straight slope-- although I'm not certain about that.

I'm not suggesting that the original photo is fake, but I do strongly suspect that someone's having a bit of fun with the new pair of photos.

Looks like a photo shopped Genos to me.

That's exactly what I thought.

[Danny1972]

Yes, sorry I should have mentioned in my post the sarcasm when I said "at least make it a little bit more convincing" as it was quite obvious what the keyboards are, and it's certainly no SX 900!

It's probably the worst mock up I've ever seen as whoever's tried to fool us hasn't even bothered or attempted to change the original keyboards!.

Anyway, really am curious about seeing the real thing or any more info on it. Also I wonder if they'll continue with the Audio drums that they ditched in Genos but carried on in the S975, to be honest I expected a few more additions from S970 to S975 and maybe no additions signals the end of them as well in the next Sx series.

No built in speakers ?

I actually thought that might have been what you meant!

[SeaGtGruff]

Babette

Yes, that's another point! The Genos has no built-in speakers, whereas a new PSR model almost certainly would, as I think that's part of what makes it "portable."

[beykock]

If no built-in speakers, the Genos speakers might fit ?😎

Hard to believe the SX900 comes without built-in speakers, right ?

All fake, I guess.



Babette

[SeaGtGruff]

Well, if you look back at the original phone photo, it might be difficult to see the front panel but it does look like there's clearly open space to the left and right of the screen, exactly where you'd expect the speaker grilles to be-- which is obviously totally different than the front panel of the doctored photos.

[Danny1972]

If it had no speakers, then it would almost be a pointless release because it means it could only go up against the Genos because the point of the S series was the portability of it including on board amplification, same with the Korg PA series.

Deffinatly picture of Genos. Pull the other leg it's got bells on.

[beykock]

Like Joe H said before : a photo shopped Genos picture !🐷

Speculation and fake photo's keep people busy.👎😜 😁

I think people are busy enough without having this rubbish to look at.

Yes, I'm sorry, but it was me posting the latest rubbish this time  , however to be fair, I only posted it because I was more interested in the date they mentioned of October this year and I thought some people here may think hmmmm that's actually plausible, now whether there is substance in that I don't know, but for sure there's more truth in that than their awful fake pics.

[SeaGtGruff]

Apparently some people aren't busy enough. But what I really want to know is, did that keyboard site get taken in by the doctored photos, or is the site itself fake?

[pjd]

Clearly 'shopped and a pretty lazy job at that!

Watched the movers take my Genos out the door today. Hope we find a place to live -- fast!!!

Yamaha SX300 = el. guitar or not ?

Interesting topic. PSR-SX seems to be a logical name for a follow-up to the PSR-S series. That series has been around for quite some time and could use a renewal, not just by name, but also by design. It can be expected that the top model of this series would effectively have many features of the Genos, just like the S900/950 did with the Tyros 4/5.
And to agree with some others: the photo appears to be showing a "900", not "300"

[EileenL]

The  mock up also shows a 76 note keyboard and we all know this won't be true.

[Robert van Weersch]

Indeed, the second image is clearly fake, just a Genos with some photoshopping. But the one in the first post looks quite qenuine. And that one is a 61 key device.

I think so too, it wouldn't make sense to continue with an S model if the Tyros series is done with, unless the Genos is a one off model which I doubt. Whatever it will be though I hope it's something special because the Genos didn't really do it for me so I am hoping the next S model does.

[Enildo]

Hello everybody,

I changed the title of the topic because we don't know for sure if it's sx300 or sx900.
We really don't know anything, nor will it really be "SX" or anything else.
We're just dreaming and waiting for the moment to eat popcorn.

Why should Yamaha use the brand " SX900 " ?
Already in use for other products. See internet.

It sounds natural they will continue PSR - xxxx.

Why should Yamaha go for 76 keys ?
No way ... 61 keys will be continued. Why not ?

Why not built-in speakers, as usual ?

Why a touch screen ? Too expensive, I guess.

Why blue Genos push buttons ? No way.
