My SX900 has arrived.

[beykock]

A good question, Eileen.

I cannot and will not discuss my professional music life here.

Like more people here, I am very interested in Yamaha's arranger keyboards : new models, specs, features, opinions, competition information and prices.

I love Yamaha's arrangers and their great synths.
Since 2001 I am a Yamaha keyboard user.

I am also learning a lot here about Yamaha's software and applications.
I like this forum very much.

If you believe my questions, my opinion and my input are useless for this forum, plse do not hesitate to tell me.

Best regards, Babette

Thank you very much for your interesting and useful feedback, Francesco. ☝

Hi Babette for me the comparisons between Tyros/Genos and PSR S/PSR SX even I never had a top keyboard are that easy:
"No aftertouch and better keybed, no party!".
All the rest...well...ok.

[blackpool]

Very Interesting E.  Never considered that ... this up-dating to the latest models keeps you sharp !!! ....lol

I will also hope I can convert MF files to playlist, which gave you an automatic reg bank named and ready to load, which was a great bonus on Genos.

Babette - the main purpose of this forum is to help people get the best from their Yamaha arranger. While there is of course always some interest in side issues like prices, future models, sales etc, they are not the main focus. And I understand Eileen's comment, because it seems that an unusually high proportion of your posts are focussed on speculation about sales, pricing, and rumors. That might be getting a bit old.

Hi Mike :

Thank you for your reaction.

No problem.
I will no longer bother people here with my questions and/or my comments.
It has never been my intention to hurt people.
As far as I know I never did but ... who am I.

Take care !
Best regards, Babette

Hello Babette,
  You don't hurt people but it dose become annoying when you keep posting the same thing over and over. We have all saved and bought the keyboard that suits us and I for one do not want to hear how popular it will be after a new model comes along be it Yamaha or Korg. It just is not useful information. By all means discus your own findings with your keyboard and how you use it or if you find problems or can pass on any little tips you may find helpful. That is what we are all trying to do.

[beykock]

Hi Eileen :

Thank you for your reply.

Yesterday evening I have decided no longer to participate in any discussion.
I will follow the daily threads of this great forum though.

Finally I herewith would like to congratulate all present and future SX900 owners of this forum.
Yamaha are manufacturing great products.👍

All the best to you and all other members !

Best regards,
Babette

So, in under 24 hours your back again.

Instead of posting here every 10 munites of the day
Why don't you spend your time playing your Tyros 5
And upload some of your music here.

We want to hear you play the arranger keyboard.

Waiting 🤔

Good afternoon Eileen.I have just bought my sx900 & trying to set things up.I have made my own expansion packs & would like to know if I have to re download the YEM again or can I use the existing one which I used for my T5.I have just tried installing the pack straight from my usb but it comes up with an error.Any help would be grateful.Thank you.Larry Green.

[larrygreen1]

Hi again Eileen.I have just worked the above message out myself & everything has loaded from my T5 into the SX900.Phew!!!Thanks anyway.Hope you are enjoying yours.All the best.

[EileenL]

Pleased you are sorted.

[Colin D]

Hi Eileen,

I'm wondering why you would buy the SX900 when you have a Genos, are you unhappy with it, or is it part of a collection please?


Thanks

Colin

The operating system is very similar to genos and touch screen works well and the Keyboard no longer tattles and has a nice feel to it.Yes it dose use some Genos styles and voices and registrations from Genos and the PSR970 load in and will work nicely.
  I have also loaded in a couple of Genos packs and they are working fine.
That is as far as I have got so far. Taking a break before moving on to the other new functions.
  If you are looking for a 61 note keyboard for home use or gigging then it is well worth having a try
of this keyboard if you have the chance to.

Do I understand you to say that you can load in Genos Styles because I have tried and nothing is showing up on the SX900. Any ideas where I may be going wrong?

Richard.

[larrygreen1]

Hi Eileen.Sorry to bother you.Having started to explore my new sx900 I have just gone into the playlist section where there only seems to be 6 sample songs.I just wondered if that is all they include now there is no music finder or do I have to download anything else?Many thanks.Larry.

[EileenL]

Hello Colin,
  I am very happy with my Genos. All I have done is swapped my 970 for the SX900 as it is easier for me to carry to small venues such as Care Homes. I would not part with my Genos for anything. 

[EileenL]

Hello Richard,
  You can load styles from Genos or Tyros 5 plus third party styles. Just select style on the screen and then tab to where the styles are stored  on USB. Have sent you a PM.

Hi Eileen,

Not even for the Genos 2...? LoL

[EileenL]

Genos 2 is still a way off but who knows.

Hi Larry,

Many thanks Eileen.That's very kind of you.

Hey Eileen!

Can you tell if you can tell if VH is on or off on the home screen?
No need to open another screen or function to see this.
This is my curiosity.

Yamaha products UK.

Do you expect price changes in the UK after the Brexit ?
Maybe UK enduser prices might become lower
( USA prices ? ) then than European prices, who knows ?☝

Babette

In case of devaluation of GBP, no. In UK, after brexit, it will be more expansive than in USA.

[EileenL]

Hi Francesco,
  These voices can only be accessed from the style section as on Genos. You can not use them to assign to Right hand voices and play.

Yeah ... I guess I'll only know when I have access to the SX900.
I didn't think a yes or no was so complicated.
In October I will be making a trip to London and I think I will have the opportunity to see the SX900 up close and clear some doubts.
