My New SX900- Strings

[Linson]

Hi Friends,
It's been two weeks I have this new baby (sx900) at home and I really enjoy it. I am from Korg world and still owns PA1000. I thought of testing SX and guess what, I am so surprised to hear some of the beautiful tones especially the strings. I am more fascinated to strings section as I am a violinist and I acknowledge I am not an expert keyboard player. I did a quick 3 min  audio recording focused on strings. Please excuse my lack of perfection here , it's just a random play to bring out the color of string tone which I really like..

Yes, the strings are good. So are you! Beautiful piece of music. Own composition?

[ton37]

Thanks @Linson. You certainly succeeded in demoing the beautiful strings. Well composed and spherish played. Enjoyed the listening!

Hi,

This is a very fine piece of music indeed.

I am thinking of buying the PSR SX700. Will it have the same gorgeous string voices as the SX900?

Regards,

Vinciane

Thank you all for your kind comments. Yes, it's my own composition. I am so thrilled and exploring more on this new toy..  ,

@Vinciane, I don't know much about sx700, but I think it should be same on both.

Yes the new strings are great on the SX keyboards as are the other voices. Very nice composition.

Hi Linson, beautiful composition, listening to it takes me to a magical world, like those fantasy movies. I congratulate you. I also have the SX900 and the truth is there is a lot to have fun with this wonderful machine. Regards. Hans

Hi Vinciane,

the SX700 generally contains far fewer Voices than the SX900. Of course, this also applies to the Strings category. In the SX700 there are also the "Seattle" Strings of the SX900, but just a smaller number.

The SX900 contains 57 "Panel" String Voices. Only 39 of these are included in the SX700. (The SX700 contains a total of 48 String Voices, but among them are 9 Voices that are in the "Legacy / Strings" folder on the SX900.)

Please note the following table that I have created using the Voice List in the SX900/SX700 Data List:
