Hi,

IMHO this is a false leak and a true, clever advertising campaign. If you remember, it just started this way with the Genos: a "leaked" first trailer which just teased you enough to make you want to see (and hear) more.

Anyway, today at midnight, it'll be August 1st, so...

By the way... midnight in which country???

Regards,

Vinciane

It is again surprising how quickly news is cited by various sources around the world. If, for instance, you follow this post, than one sometimes get anxious about how easily "truths" on wrong facts and / or sources are considered true, v.v. Like with so many subjects, and specially the much more important ones !!. So .. stay alert ..

FYI, on SynthZone, GK has not explained why he deleted his spec info on the SX-900, He did not delete the actual post,  thus keeping the topic alive. Could he be an official Yamaha  " leaker/ teaser" ? Not a bad thing, because it means it must be true,
It's all kinda funny.    Is it Aug 1 yet?

I quote a post on SynthZone:
"Here's some information on comparing the new PSRSX900 and the PSRS975:

Comparison of PSR-SX700 and PSRS775

PSR-SX700
1337 Voices, 56 Drum/SFX kits, 480 XG (vs. 986 Voices, 41 Drum/SFX kits, 480 XG)
8 insert effect slots (vs. 5)
Chord Looper function
Bluetooth audio
1GB expansion Voice memory (vs. 400MB)
4GB internal memory (vs. 1GB)
329 Multi Pad banks (vs. 226)
Main L&R line outputs, plus Sub L&R line outputs (vs. Main L&R only)
Expansive Sound Field speakers
(15W + 10W) x 2 amplifiers (vs. 15W x 2 only)
USB to device x 2 (vs. x 1)

Corrections according to Yamaha specs:

* 986 voices, not 1337
* 5 insert effects, not 8
* No chord looper
* No bluetooth
* 400 MB expansion memory, not 1 GB
* 226 Multi Pad banks, not 329
* no Sub L&R outputs, only Main
* 15W x2, not 15W+10W x2
* 1 USB to device, not 2

So the head line of the paragraph should have been Comparison SX900 and SX700, then it would have been right.

Thus, the SX700 is strongly reduced as compared to SX900.

The Yamaha PSR-SX900 (MSRP $2,799) and PSR-SX700 (MSRP $1,999) are expected to ship in October 2019.

The European price will be approx. € 2400 for the SX900.

My guess is the store price for the PSR SX900 will be € 1.950,-. That is € 100,- more than the S975.

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.   

Hi Drake,

Seems your dream is being fulfilled:

As a country specialist, what do you think about the PSR SX900 pedal steel guitar as it is being showcased in this video?

The joystick seems particularly handy in this situation.

Here it is the official yamaha page for this new gem

Remember this photo from July 08?

People thought it said SX300, but it is SX900.

Why no one commented this post?
Is this true that this picture has been taken back in 2008??
So that means that sx900 was ready from 2008 and they just announced it right now?
That's insane!

I think it is a typo and the picture was taken maybe in July 2018

No, I'm pretty sure it was referring to July the 8th of this year.

[arvacon]

Haha, yep finally that's the case, it's from this topic at 8th July.

It's great that we now have new models and I sure hope they will serve their future owners well. However, as far as I'm concerned, the new keyboards do not feature a sample of (or even better, a variety of) yodelling voices. Lately, I've been much into the folklore music of Tirol (the so called volkstümmliche Musik) and been writing an album. There is a lack of variety of styles for this genre, especially 6/8, and the only yoddeling voice available from the expansion packs, while passable, sounds average at best. Paid €120 for it, however!

While I guess new expansion packs might be available in the future, I will hold my horses and see how the things will develop. In the mean time, my psr s770 still rocks.

I can only say kudos to Yamaha - new PSRs, new CVPs, new CLPs are expected in 2020. Will have to plan a visit to next year's Frankfurter Musikmesse.
