If it really sounds much better than the 975 then i will go for it
Hope to play one soon.

Couldn't be less.
If the specs are real, then the prize of genos could be hardly justify now.
PSR SX has features that miss on Genos too. Sliders and Pot for 2000 USD ?

and here is the official... official announcement from Yamaha Europe. 
https://europe.yamaha.com/en/products/musical_instruments/keyboards/arranger_workstations/psr-sx900/index.html.

Have fun everyone!

I just had a look at the official announcement on the yamaha europe website and they only seem to mention the PSR SX900.
This is what they say ...

quote
Take your performance to a whole new dimension with the PSR-SX. Replacing the hugely successful PSR-S series, the PSR-SX900 is the new generation in Digital Workstation sound, design and user experience
unquote

Taking their words literaly it would seem the PSR SX900 is ment to be replacing the entire PSR-S series line (9xx, 7xx and 6xx)?
Maybe a software license key will unlock features, based on the amount paid or maybe just inaccurate phrasing on the website ....

A new YEM seems to be out and the change list (below) mentions the PSR-SX700.

[V2.5.2 to V2.5.3]
Now supports the PSR-SX900 and PSR-SX700.
Solved some other minor problems.

So the PSR SX900 is not ment to replace the entire PSR-S line afterall.

No, they do list SX900 and SX700 on the Yamaha pages.

I find that there were some errors in the rumors. So we have:

* SX900 has 1337 voices, SX700 has 986 voices, not 1337.
* Both SX900 and SX700 have parts R1, R2, R3, not only SX900.
* Both SX900 and SX700 have mp3 recording, not only SX900
* NO revo drums on SX900 and SX700.

I'm waiting for everyone to start griping about the lack of USB audio-- "Even the entry-level PSR-E models have it!"

Wow, your are right. In this context:

* The entry level digital piano P-125 has usb audio (and it's cool with iPad connected)
* The top of the line Genos does not have usb audio

So this is kind of controversial. But if even the Genos does not have it, why should PSR series.

Vinciane, ***gripping*** :
Yes indeed... why no USB audio ?? 

[Ingar]

I hope that the hard bass and clicked keys now are history on the PSR models. And of course, scat voice in multipads. If that's the case, then I'll buy myself a PSR SX 900.

It this true ? Because in data manuel there are 8 Drumkits that are revo drums on Genos. I mean the Rockkit, Popkit, Jazzkit, R&B, EDM, Trap, and so on. It is true in Data List there are not name "Revo Drums" but they sound the same as Genos Revo drums.
On the demo Style you can hear clearly the Rock and Popkits. So how can you explain this ?

You are right. They use drum kits having the same name. But the data list of the SX900 does not contain the word "revo" at all. So I doubt, it is available.

It seems that it s just the kit without Wave Cycling. There are 3 kits missing from the Genos. VintageOpen, Vintagemuted and Jazzkit.

Great, the live buttons now open popups on the display, great feature!

Enildo,

It was part of the mixer before. It was called "song".

Hi,

How about the chord looper and style section reset
Genos have it?

Regards!

Hello Uli
I mean audio and not midi.

Split poit function has now gained another ally (R3), despite being 61 keys, I think very important.
New possibilities open up for countless performances.

Enildo,

Ok, you are right. I did not remember. So Audio play volume was not in mixer until now?

Ok, thank you very much.

It is not clear to me how the "chord looper" is used during live play from just watching the demo that was provided. I would like to hear someone explain and show how it would be used live.

I didn't even know Yamaha could provide a "style section reset", they should have given us that gem ... a long time ago.

The Third Voice (R3) is a really great upgrade for the way I use the Keyboard, it would save me having to flip to an OTS while playing live. I set up my custom styles with a specific MAIN to be used for the Instrumental section of each song. A lot of times I would like to do my leads with one instrument and then hand off the lead to a second instrument but in order to do that I have to hide that second voice in one of the other OTS positions. This new upgrade fixes that problem.

Hi Drake,

I think that it works exactly like the chord sequencer on Korg. There is a Record start/stop button, start records during live play, starting at next beat 1. And there is a play button. So I expect it to be identical to chord sequencer.
