Wow, the SX900 sounds very well ...

[ton37]

Hi, I have found a (Vietnamese) video in witch you can see (and hear) a (short) demonstration of the soundquality of the SX900. In a duo setup he shows the sound difference between the S975 vs. the SX900. And the winner is .....

Hi Tom

The Sx900 fared better, no doubt.

You can't possibly get a true sound unless you can hear the keyboard first hand but there seems a definite improvement in sound.

[Toril S]

It sounded like he used a sustain pedal on the piano of the SX, but not on the 975. That is unfair.

[beykock]

The SX900 sounds great. WOW ! 👂

I would like to know if there is any sound difference between the S970 and the S975 ?

Thank you for your reply !
Babette

[Toril S]

The sounds are very similar,Babette, but the 975 has a more balanced sound.

The first video listed by ton37 was most instructive.  For once, someone dared to show some of the choral voices.  Don't know how others feel, but with a new arranger, I'd rather see/hear brief snippets of a lot of styles and voices, rather than a concert/demo from the Yamaha professionals.  It's a given that the factory reps are great players.  My preference would be a series of short Yamaha videos, showing the full range of styles/voices that the new arranger offers.  After all, isn't the heart and soul of an arranger its styles and voices?  Band-In-Box does a great job showing-off, with posted audio demos, of all of its real styles.  Now, if someone would have the courage to demo in detail the vocal harmony features and options of the SX900.  Rarely, are there videos on vocal performance with an arranger.  But, I suppose arrangers are primarily for players, not singers.

[EileenL]

With vocal harmony on most keyboards you have to adjust it to your own voice. There is lots of editing you can do and then save as your own.

Of course it sounds great, isn't that what you would expect from the latest model. Is it better than previous models, maybe, but its marginal at best and down to personal opinion. Just like every other iteration for the last several years.
These keyboards have all sounded great for a long time and sound differences are never going to completely blow you away. If you are in the market for a new keyboard, why not. But if you have a recent model I really doubt the sound of this one is going to be night and day better. They never are.

For me it's the new features and capabilities. At some point though, I will have the keyboard that I really want.  I experiment a lot as a "power user".  We get pleasures from these keyboards in different ways depending on our interest and temperament.

Hi Mike, I agree: for me it does not have to differ night AND day. I'm satisfied with only 'day'.... . As Joe H. wrote: it is the sum of the potential and features, including sound, that count. And the sum is for every individual different.

[ton37]

I found a sounddemo recorded directly in the (Phone)recorder. So now you can get an idea how it sounds throught its own speakers... t.m.o. not bad at all...

Hi :

We know the differences between the SX900 and SX700.

I would like to know if the sound quality between the 900 and the 700 is so much different ?

Babette

[rgw]

Hi Babette,

I thought from your previous postings that you were going to stay with your Tyros?

Richard.

Richard :

Oh yes I certainly will but a friend wants to have some SX700 information and I would like to help her out.

Hi,
I'm considering buying the new SX900. Currently have the s950, has anyone upgraded from the s950 to just say the s975 and was there a big difference in sound quality? Guessing The SX900 will sound even better again.

Unfortunately there's no music stores in the area where we now live, and a 7 hr round trip is too far to drive for just a quick listen.

Thank you

For your info pls. see the next URL: https://www.bonnersmusic.co.uk/yamaha-psr-sx700-vs-psr-sx900.irs
Conclusion: yes, there will be a minor difference, among others due to the hardware and software.

[rikkisbears]

Thank you for posting the demo, handy hearing little snippets of the styles as well as the sound comparisons.

[beykock]

Hi Rikki :

What is the Australian SX900 street price in US$ ?
When available ?

Thanks for your reply.

Best regards, Babette

[beykock]

Hi Ton :

Thank you for your feedback !

There is a huge difference ( features, styles, voices etc. etc. ) between the 900 and 700.

It is hard to hear the sound quality difference on the internet though.
A " live " comparison might be necessary, I guess.

Also de SX700 seems to be a nice keyboard.
All depends on the personal needs of the player.

There is no doubt in my mind the new SX-serie will become successful.
Perhaps the price might be an issue for some people ? I do not know. 

Enjoy your Sunday !
Babette

On the bonners website, they say SX700 has no MIC/GUITAR input.
Yamaha specs indicate it has ..

[beykock]

Strange ... the S770 and S775 have a mic input, even some additional fx ( reverb e.g. ) features.

Babette

[EileenL]

I think all this means is that you can not play a proper Guitar through the system and you have no vocal Harmony. This is probably the same on the 775.
  if you want all the good stuff you need to go for the SX900.

[Jingleman]

I agree that the sx900 sounds better, but it's a little deceptive as there running a stereo feed from the sx900 and a mono feed from the s975.
