load sx900 styles on sx700/sx600; do they sound the same?have issues?

[icatalin42]

Thats it. My budget didnt allow me a sx700 and i didnt want to wait anymore (i hate waiting) so i bought an sx600, see the pics below (that's why the new thread asking you kindly for sx900 modified styles.the packaging was quite bad (i wonder if it is indeed new , my first thought was it was resealed although i bought it new).

Thank you guys again,
Kat

Very cool Nice buy. i agree with your decetion. Get what you can. i still wish you lots of fun with your purchase. and if you ever want a higher model you can trade up in the future when buget allows.

It sounds fantastic. First impressions:
-The voices list and quality are pretty similar to my former tyros2, but the build quality is not similar which is understandable because tyros2 was flagship.
- i hate touch response; when i turned it on the first time, i had the feeling the voices dont play or are not heard or not loud enough; luckily it was due to the touch response, i played a bit with the settings and set it to soft or off in the end so now i can play like i used to;
- the screen and the controls are very easy to operate: although not touch screen, it resolution is awesome, is pretty neat like this and the controls with the pads and big wheel knob are very easy;
- i love the overall build, doesnt feel like a tyros2 premium but doesnt feel cheap either, is still large keyboard and the plastic of the knobs and style variations, voices,etc everything is ok
- one issue which makes me wonder and i need your help/views: i notice that 2 keys (keys A from the last 2 octaves on the right,especially from the one from the last octave are uneven/unleveled, i mean comparing to the other keys  those two are a bit higher,not much but the last one is obvious ,see the picture; is it bad? Is it ok? Is it normal? The same with some wide alike spacing between keys (take a look on the left side) but i guess this is normal
- quality from its speakers is ok, it is not the same obviously with my former 2.1 system with sub from tyros2, but i can always hook my external edifiers speakers to it if i want to;
Overall i like it very much, not a premium build quality but a premium sound quality, which in the end was what i was looking for.

hi icatalin24,
I'm glad to hear you're in general happy with SX600. About keys not in level... I don't know how keys are constructed in SX600, so no advice from me in this regard. If it doesn't really disturb you in playing, then I would leave that as it is -at least for now. To eventually solve the problem, you'd need to open keyboard and check if keys are properly seated and screws (that hold keys in place) tight enough.
Wish you a lot of fun

Thank you (multam fain). One key (upper octave last A key) is a bit higher/taller than the rest as we can see in the pics i uploaded but it sounds ok, there is no delay or something. Lets hope the keyboard is safe and sound. It sounds wonderful, i cant believe it sounds so good at such a budget price. I remember i paid around 1.500$-1.800$ back then to get myself an used tyros2. Tech advance fast and in music too, and Yamaha keeps the pace.

I havent brought it home yet, i have to settle things with my wife first  to negociate for another device, another "expense". Women! Cant live with them and cant live without them. They simply dont understand our needs.  Their priorities lies mainly with house arrangements and their needs. Sx600 is still boxed at the office.

Well, you have my sympathy

I have loaded all the SX900 voices onto my SX700. In most cases they sound fine. However you need to bear in mind that some of the styles and voices on both keyboards are different or even not available on the other keyboard, so there will be limitations.

As far as the SX600 goes, I don't know. It was the touchscreen, and other features that made me choose the SX700. For my own home use, the SX and Genos are, IMHO more geared to performing players and have features that I would probably never use.

Can you tell me how does one do that? I'm a beginner keyboard player, so is my sister and we both decided to invest our money in SX700 as our first Keyboard. So far we're not disappointed but if we're getting the SX900 voices in this, then it's an added bonus!

I wanted the same. Sadly, it seems you cant import preset voices, see this post:

It's impossible to import voices from one keyboard into another.
Saving voice (*.vce) file on one keyboard and then loading that file in another keyboard, is not copying voice. *.vce file only contains settings for particular voice and if that voice is not present on target keyboard, then the file is useless.
