Does SX920 have as many S. Art2 voices as Tyros5?

[Toril S]

Hello friends
Am I right, does the SX920 now have S. Art2 voices? If that is the case, I am considering it. I like that it has the scat doo-be-doo-voices too! My Genos is only used at home, so I take my S975 or my Tyros5 on gigs. The Tyros has said voices, but it is a little bulky and heavy. Our store has not got the 920 yet, but have the 720. I tried it, and was surprised by the updates of styles and sounds.
My "problem" now is: Should I stick to the Tyros for gigs, or get an SX920?
I use external speakers on gigs anyway, so that doesn't matter.
I never got around to selling the Tyros, because I like it so much! Even now, when I have had the Genos for many years, it gives a special feeling to fire up the lovely silver Tyros, with the wonderful look. I am a nerd, I know, I know

It has about as many S.Art 2 voices as Tyros 3, (12 vs 11); and it's missing the Irish Pipe .

It's missing 63 S.Art2 voices compared to Genos. T5 has 55 S.Art2, Genos has 75.
sx920 is basically a baby Genos 1, missing 84% of S.Art2 voices and again uses live drum versions of the Revo drums, but otherwise it's all there. Excellent little keyboard!

Hi Toril

Nope you are not a nerd you are a Tyros owner and the reason they are hard to still find is nobody wants to sell theirs.  I sold my SX900 pretty darn quick after the keys started rattling and bought a used Tyros 4 (couldn't find a 5sadly) They are so many reasons to stick with your Tyros 5 .. a really superb key bed and apart from the Motif range the only range with after touch. I still think they sound awesome and have so many features that even the new models don't have. If you sell it you will be sorry!!

Thanks Mark and Chris. Whatever I decide I am not selling the Tyros!

Hi Toril

If you did I for one would be disappointed too!! There must be something really special because very few Tyros owners are willing to part with their keyboards!

The SX920 vs. Tyros 5 voices - the SX920 outshines in these aspects: The SX920 has 15 S.A.+ voices not on T5 or even in Genos2, more S.A. voices and more MegaVoices. But the T5 has more S.A.2 voices - and aftertouch.

What is the difference between the SA+ voices and SA2?

The SX920 new Guitar voices for using in the OTS are like WOW!

There are so many nice ones to pick from for country music.

And the sound is crisper.
