Okay guys so the Yamaha is 620 will come out soon now when this keyboard came out the SX 600 it was 2020 what would you guys like to see in the sx 620 and how this would affect your music playing because if this keyboard comes out I am definitely buying it so what features would you like to see in this keyboard and how many voices and style and so on would you guys like to see a touch screen or what kind of sounds would you like to see more suit particulation voices more drum kits how many more styles and what will the panel be look like when this keyboard where they come out give me everything and all your predictions for the new Yamaha PSR SX 620

Would like to see PSRSX620 with chord looper function like just added to PSRSX720.

You would be FAR better off buying either a used or nearly new PSR SX700 or PSR SX900.

You'll find that touch screens on both those models are a major advantage over the SX600.

I would not buy any arranger in this price range without a touch screen

No, it's no far better buying a SX 700 or 900. The existing SX 600 is a very good keyboard for a price , which is unrivaled. The sound quality is very near to the higher priced models. For me the touchscreen is no reason to buy a SX 720, the screen of the SX 600 is tiny, but good readable. You can work very quickly with the buttons and you don't have fingerprints on the screen. My whishes for the upcoming SX 620 are a chord looper, a larger screen and a Din Midi port.

More important over touch screen is a keybed. Hopefully sx620 is going to keep its keybed from sx600 (tested and in use by Yamaha for 30 years) Sx700 and the new 720 and 920 have newly developed keybed that ended up rattling after the silicone grease was used up. Yamaha acknowledge the problem but never offered a solution marking it as a normal wear. New FSB keybed had the plastic joint moved further back with the idea it would offer premium feel of long hinged keybed. Ended up with unstable keys hittin the lateral stabilisers producing parasitic noise. Unfortunately sx 720 and 920 kept this faulty keybed beeing somewhat more evenly greased than previous generation. Let's pray that the new sx620 doesn't get FSB keybed upgrade.

[Trubaduri]

Totally agree with you Zukae. I still have SX600 and I bought SX720. Keys are terrible. After 10 days of use keys started to be noisy, clicky and wobble, I could not believe. Fsb is terrible. On my Sx600 I do not have those problems with keys. I returned Sx720 and I got my money back. I was so happy to buy it but I was really so disappointed with Sx720. I just hope that Sx620 do not have Fsb keybed or I will not buy it definitely. They should improve keys on both sx720/sx920, that fsb keybed used on them is awful.

What about PSR-A oriental keyboards? If a future PSR-A model will have that problem... I guess not to bite the bullet and buy it. I mean not to buy it at this stage.
