Is it worth it to upgrade?

[bormo]

Hi Folks,

I have an S950 since 2012 and very happy with the toy, my main usage of it is creating backing tracks for our Church's Worship singers, so the pattern I use is straightforward:


1. I create a chord sequence using "Song Creator" and save it
2. I meet a singer and choose a key for him/her
3. I record the track to USB and convert it to MP3

So I seldom use my right hand and rarely play live. Sometimes I use it as a piano on rehearsals.

Here are some examples: (Russian language)

The question - is it worth to upgrade to SX900? What I'll get?

Thank you
Bormo

Hi Bormo: to answer your question: If it is worth: You will have to answer that for yourself!
What do I get: for that I can make a brief summary:

In fact there is new technology and overall better sound, e.g.:

• Touchscreen
  Better keybed
  More expansion memory
  Chord Looper
  Style reset
  great speakers
  edit a song from the panel and save all changes,
  Joy- stick
  6 programmable buttons,
  3 voices, 3 split points
  Real Reverb +
  30 various user memories

You can now choose which novelties can tempt you to switch keyboards... or a SX700/SX600 or stay with the one you have?

Good luck with your considerations 

PS.: your vid's sounds great. My compliments

It probably will not very noticeably change what you do, or the final sound of it. It's newer, has new features, touch screen - all listed on the post below. Whether they matter to you or if is is "worth it" is a very subjective decision, also dependent on what the change costs and how much the money matters to you.

Thank you guys for your replies,

One more question - did somebody tried to play/switch styles on PSR from DAW?

Thank you
