Enjoy the new PSR SX900/700

[Enildo]

I am very happy with the functions of the "Registration Memory", in addition to the old functions we have "Line out", "Chord Looper" and Assignable buttons ".
I am very happy with yamaha.

I was hoping, that the chord looper was memorised with the registration.  That is really cool.

From the documentation, it does not get clear, if a single chord sequence is save to registry, or the complete chord looper bank. I think that the reference to the bank is stored in registry. So we have up to 8 chord sequences saved with any registration.

What I really like about it is the Live Control values are displayed on screen and I hope those values are saved in the registrations.

Me too! It's a major upgrade for the PSR line.

Looks like the SX-900 has the scat voices, but not the SX-700. I'm happy with the Genos, but if I hadn't bought it, I would be very tempted by the XS-900!

Hello Guys, in addition to the functions mentioned above, Yamaha fulfilled one of my wishes and is the Mp3 Audio recorder, no longer need to go to the PC, to make the conversion, the other wish is not yet there and is: Tools Advanced Edition in "Song Creator" for example: piano roll, magnifying glass (to expand the scrolling of events) scroll key, Track View function to delete, move or copy, or correct data in the form of tracks or
whole bars.  but I am  very happy with the new flagship, I think it's a breakthrough since the S975. Greetings. Hans

Really happy to have 3 right hand voices. 😊

[Mjm]

Was just checking out the Data List. Lots of choir voices. 😊😊

On the specs page, the SX900 and 700 both have the Style Recommender. Could that be coming back to the Genos in an update?

Also noticed that they both have S.Art sounds, but not S.Art 2. Interesting... And no dedicated Super Articulation buttons. Apparently they can be assigned to a foot pedal or to the assignable buttons.

Genos also has additional DSP effects. BTW, Genos also has a few DSP effects that are not even in Montage/MODX...

Plus one, when I look at the new user interface and playlist feature, just to name 2 things it's a winner for sure.  I have an s970 that I may have to replace.  If you didn't buy a Genos for one reason or another, this may be the board for you.

[Enildo]

I think yamaha listened to our requests this time. I am very pleased with everything I have seen so far.
Joystick, Playlist, Assignable Buttons, Chord Looper, Voices R1+R2+R3, Half Bar Fill, Touch Screen Display, Subwofer Outputs, Two USB Inputs ... And More!

Someone is missing the video output?

There is more: "Bluetooth wireless communication"
That's true??? kkkkkk

[hans1966]

If Enildo, but according to the information on the Yamaha site, the availability of the Bluethoot function varies depending on the Country, we will have to wait to see if Latin America is in the list of countries with this restriction. Greetings. Hans

In terms of voices and DSP, SX900 is basically a Tyros5.

It has:

- no Kino strings

It HAS the Kino Strings :-)

They are starting to pop up on the websites of the larger stores now. Prices in Holland vary from € 2.199,- to € 2.356,-. That is about € 225 to € 400 more than the S975, am I right? If it goes anything like the pricing of the Genos at it's introduction, it pays off to wait a couple of months for the initial prices to go down about 10%. A "cooling-off period" of a few months also helps to be able to make a more rational decision about the purchase, instead of going along with the hype of a new product  . Meanwhile S975 is now priced at € 1.625,-

I wonder if a PSR SX900 will be an upgrade to my Tyros 4. It would give me some of the newer voices and DSP's, new styles and drumkits. But I would definitly have to try one first to see if the keybed is any good if you are used to the Tyros FSX keybed, which I like a lot.

Is anyone else also considering the PSR SX900 as a replacement for their Tyros 4 or 5?

[Robert van Weersch]

I think prices will drop even more than 10%. The Genos started off at €4500 at introduction, but half a year later shops like Bax and Thomann listed it for less than €3700. An S975 can already be purchased for less than €1700. Bax puts the SX900 at €2356, whic is almost 40% more expansive than it's predecessor. That's a price not many people will be willing to pay.
Regarding the T4 versus ths SX900. The SX900 has some great new features, some of which also can be found on the Genos. But as you already stated yourself, it lacks the FSX keybed. It also has just 61 keys. And it can only connect two foot pedals (1 switch, 1 expression) whereas the T4/5 can connect three pedals (2 switch, 1 expression). Also: no SA2, no ensemble voices, no angle-adjustable display. So it depends on what features you would need the most. For me, 76 keys are a must, so the SX700/900 are not an option. Likewise with the three foot pedals.

I'm holding on to the T5 untill Yamaha launches the Genos 2

Where has the Ballad Style disappeared to?

Where has the Ballad Style disappeared to?

The Ballad styles have mainly been split into the Pop&Rock or Dance categories. They are all there. You can view the data list online that tells you what's in the categories here:

It HAS the Kino Strings :-)

greetings frank

Hi Frank,

Could you please elaborate? They dont appear as such in the data list. Are they there but under another label maybe?

Thanks,

Vinciane

[ckobu]

Differences between sx700 and sx900.

[Robert van Weersch]

You forgot to mark the SA voices

[Danny1972]

There's also nearly £1000 difference between the two models as well !!!

[ckobu]

You forgot to mark the SA voices

You are right, corrected 

[PSR-USR-IND]

This keyboard carry all TYROS5 new voice including all Choir voices. A great disappointment SuperArticulation2 voices still not included in PSR models. But some new GENOS voices and Drumkits are included.
YAMAHA should include S.Art2 voices in next PSR midrange mode.
Joy Stick and Touch Screen and many new features in this new model is much appreciated. H

[Enildo]

Can anyone explain what these "+ 10W" are in amplifiers?

Hi Onacimus,

Are you saying the Strings are more akin to on the Tyro5 than those on the PSR S975?

Richard.
