PSR-sx900 has been announced

[panos]

Enildo there is a rock ballad,a jazz ballad,a pop ballad,a 60's-70's-80's-90's,a heavy metal ballad,a hip hop ballad etc.
All those styles don't belong to the same category because the only thing that have in common is just a slower tempo.

I really wanted a "Schlager" folder by the way.
No Schlager button, keyboard no good! Don't you agree?

[beykock]

As I said before the new SX series look to be nice instruments with impressive new features.

Much depends on the final street price ... it would be wonderful if the present prices of the S-serie could be continued but that wish might be a bridge too far, I guess.

I expect a consumer price increase of approx. + 15 to 20%.

Hopefully my estimation is completely wrong. 🔔
Time will tell.

I agree in part. The ballad category has always been a special category, like Country that has also been dropped.
But, as I said, yamaha must have organized differently and we will then evaluate.

I paid 1900.00 USD for my S970... so a couple hundred more for the sx900 would be a bigger bang for the buck in my opinion. Which is typically the case with each new keyboard released.

Hi Joe H :

I have the impression you might have the intention to upgrade after you have tested and approved the new SX-900, am I right ?

I am almost sure you will not be disappointed.

I'm waiting for the official announcement from Yamaha and a Youtube demo.  It's sounds good on paper... but I want to get the facts before I make a decision.  I've got to sell a few of my unused MIDI gear to pay for the thing anyway; so I'm not in a hurry.  I won't be one of the first to buy.  I'm interested... but don't want to get too excited about it.  It's just a keyboard you know.

Since most of the specs are known now an official Yamaha announcement might be expected shortly, I guess.

Hope to see a video presentation ( hopefully by Peter Baartmans ? 👏 ) very soon.

I realy like all this informations so far.

In Next SX I would like to se also :

1. "Terca"

2. Tempo reset

3.Minimum 6-8 SONG Single Repeat mode positions (now is 4)

4. Posability when SONG+STYLE play same time when SONG is turned OFF (Style continue play at that moment) and than Turn back ON again style continue play.

I hope..... 

Regards

When it comes to arranger upgrading, who has the luxury to see, hear, or try out the product before purchase?  Do most rely on forums, witness testimony, written reviews, and youtube videos?  I've never demo'd any of my arrangers before receiving shipment.  Right, or wrong, I assume that any upgrade will be, in fact, an improvement and will sound better than the previous model. So far, no disappointments, especially with Yamaha.  Can't say that for other brands.

[ton37]

Based on the experiences in the past you are absolutely right. I don't think it will be any different now. That also applies to other products: cars, smartphones, computers etc. etc. So the SX900 will without exception be 'better' than its last predecessor. It depends on what the customer wants to spend his money on at that time.With the former Technics range, I thought the KN3000 was the ultimate, would be my last (promised my wife, what I liar I was ;-)), the KN SX 5000, the KN SX6000 and the KN SX7000 always surpassed him and tempted me to upgrade each time again. Nice detail: yamaha SX ... technics SX. Some Technics technicians went to Yamaha. Then it should not be so difficult to make a tilting screen like Technics SX ;-))

When the S950 keyboard was introduced in the fall of 2012 with the New Vocal Harmonizer, along with the new sampled S.A. Guitars, I was going to upgrade to it the following year when I retired. But as LUCK would have it, my PSR2000 gave up the ghost 2 weeks before Christmas.

My S950 came the week after Christmas.

I love the sounds I get out of my S950, no complaints there. What I need is some built in feature to allow better STYLE creating. BETTER as in easier to record and move exiting patterns around among the styles.

The only thing currently on the newer keyboards I wish I had would be the NEW "Pedal Steel Guitar".  I really haven't heard anyone on the forum able to show case it , so maybe it ain't really all that great after all.   

[ekurburski]

Drake, I agree.  Would love to hear someone like DonM demo the steel guitar. 

[DonM]

Drake, I agree.  Would love to hear someone like DonM demo the steel guitar. 

Sure, send me a Genos or a new sx900 and I'll check it out. 
Actually I did play the Genos for a day and one of things I did like a lot was that sound. 
I already had touch screen (adjustable), joy stick (plus touch strip), great vocal harmonizer and great sounds, plus numerous live operating controls, including Songbook, and Chord Sequencer (Looper per Yamaha), so wasn't much interested in the Genos.  I thought about sampling the Pedal Steel and using it in my Korg though.

[hans1966]

Personally I think the SX900 will bring more features than those already mentioned here. Just wait and cross your fingers. Hans

"Well, it's just my opinion, but it's backed by the best rumor and speculation the internet can provide." as I posted that cartoon in another post.

Unfortunately, the well-known source has deleted his message. Then it stops. It was nice to just daydream ... and move on to the order of the day ...

Happy keyboarding with your (and I with my) current great keyboard.

[hans1966]

I totally agree Tom37, I will continue to enjoy my S975, which arrived 15 days ago at home, and I will wait for the official launch of Yamaha. At the moment there are no more comments from me. Greetings. Hans

[Henni]

I am totally convinced that all this speculation was not fake. I also believe it will be avaible before the end of this year. Those detailed photos are not fake at all. It is the REAL new baby Yamaha.

Remember, the suppliers have to get rid of their existing stock. Who in their right mind will go and purchace a PSR S775/975 knowing a new model would be released soon?

I know a crazy guy who would buy a new PSR S775/975 ... but with substantial discount...

[Ingar]

We just have to wait and see!

We all know Yamaha likes to use teaser advertising as they've shown in the past. Maybe George was allowed a teaser post for a limited period of time. Makes sense to me...and would certainly get the attention of the competitors.

[SeaGtGruff]

The impression I've gotten from similar leaks which were quelled by Yamaha is that they weren't at all happy about the leaks, and worked relatively quickly to make the leakers sign NDAs and stop giving out information ahead of time. I really think these leaks are coming from Yamaha employees, or workers at factories which are contracted by Yamaha (or however that works), and that Yamaha does not approve or endorse the leaks. Yamaha occasionally engages in teaser ads, but these are always posted on one of their official websites-- such as YamahaSynths.com-- and they mention the date when the full announcement or "unveiling" will occur. These unapproved leaks may stir up interest, but they can also lead to a lot of misinformation and erroneous speculation about features, so they can potentially do more harm than good.

[tulunurang]

I wonder what will be the difference between SX900, SX700 & SX300. Since Yamaha hasn't posted the official spect yet, all we have to do is wait for the official release.
I'm not a fan of speculation cause the actual product may differ from what is speculated, thus will be disappointing if it not implemented in the retail release.

[Henni]

More teasers !! Getting closer & closer !

[ton37]

Well found Hennie, luckily there is a date on it. Just one night sleep and we will know more ;-))

[voodoo]

Obviously Yamaha had to react to leaked information.

[mikf]

The leak has certainly kept people busy on this forum! Thank you Yamaha.
There will always be improvements/additional features between the latest and previous model. But this technology is now so mature that they will be incremental rather than groundbreaking. Maybe so incremental that people argue about whether they are inprovements or not. This has been true for at least 15 years.
If you are already in the market for a new keyboard, then it makes sense to get the latest. If you just enjoy new things or having the latest model and can afford it, then of course go ahead get it. If you spot some new facility or feature you really want, then of course consider buying it.
But if you think any of this is going to make it easier to play, or make you a better player, then you are kidding yourself, just like I do every time I buy a new set of golf clubs,
Mike

I agree 100%

I will just add this: All this past years with all this leaks and all this argues Yamaha get FRRE Commercial.
Very smart.

...Fly forever!

Very good Henni!
I'm super excited about every piece of information!
