The Yamaha PSR-S700 is one of the giants among home keyboards. It is laden with features and the potential is huge. But achieving potential is a journey and do we really want the journey to be this ...sonically boring?
Even for today's standards, the S700 is still a decent keyboard. The rhythms might be out of date, but the preset tones can still keep up with the recent entry-level models
Haven't you tried the organ drawbars which are on the screen & will realy improve organ sounds? Layering & tweaking most sounds improves them a lot. Many sonds even come from the Tyros 1 KB. I have one of these -a great keyboard if you tweak things a bit even altering the volume mixing for each rhythm part. Very few keyboards sound great straight out of the box. Sadly I no longer use it as I no longer have the time to get into it.
I did, and I can see your point. But after reviewing so many synthesizers and workstations I’ve found that there are just so many out there that provide instant and hugely superior results for mediocre players such as myself! Overall it’s a quality machine in my humble opinion: Good at everything but not brilliant at anything.
The LCD Display in mine lasted 14 months and fried. Yamaha says they were made in China and they've had a ton of failures but not covered after first year totally disgusted with Yamaha after what I paid for it
@@EgoShredder Some 3000 woodwind/sax sounds are not included in S700 (Sweet Oboe, Sweet Harmonica, Sweet SaxSection, Sweet Muted Trumpet and FlugelHorn) , but others are exactly the same
I don't have this keyboard anymore, but I thought the Mega voices were just among the normal sound list. I suggest googling "PSR-S700 PDF" so you can serch it up in the manual. Sorry, it's been a while :) Gearfacts
If you use the line out sockets, you still get sound through the speakers. So you can connect your line outs to the sound recorder, then sync it up to the video when you upload it to your PC :)
@@gearfacts hey I’ve been trying to track down a psr 2000 which my utube name is, but no success. There is one on eBay but the lcd screen is full of lines that destroy the screen, and I don’t want to spend money on it so……..
You really, *really* need to do something about the way you are recording your commentary. What on earth are you doing? Volume is up and down all over the place! And as for having sockets at the rear....walk around it!
PSR-3000, S900, S700, S710, S910, S670 and S750 sounds pretty much similar aside from minor differences and additions. If you're looking for a Yamaha arranger keyboard with a different and new sounds, try at least PSR-S950, S770 and S970. These have sounds derived from Yamaha's flagship lineup, the Tyros

Yes, I agree with you. Thinking back I could have given it a bit more of a chance than I showed in this demo.

Good video I enjoyed it. I used to have the psr s710 then the s750 now the s770
Dear what about par s 670 keyboard is it a professional keyboard.
Yes I made some videos about that model recently /Gearfacts
@@gearfacts Thank you sir ,I have a psr s 670 . I play by ear ,but I try to practice every scale .
That was very helpful
My psr700 is not Woking properly ...also it is automatically shutting down
My Lady friend has this Keyboard and uses it as a workstation, for composing song's
Yep it's ideal for that. Thanks for watching Gearfacts!

Before I buy one
Does it oriental keyboard?
I mean has Arabic music and Turkish music?
I don't think it does. You need a Yamaha PSR-E or PSR-OR type of keyboard for that.
Come registrare una Somg e salvarla le sarei grato per la risposta della procedura in italiano grazie!!
Can we import expansion packs in it
I believe so. There is information about that on the Yamaha website :) #gearfacts
No not really.... You can however import styles and voices but not expansion packs as such....
Which one is best to use psr 700 or 3000 or 710
I've only tried one of those, so I recommend Googling the models and comparing the specs on the Yamaha website :) #gearfacts
The 700 contains the same sounds as the 3000.

Can you please tell me how to select Mega Voices on this device
Thanks

How do you connect a cable from this keyboard to a video camera to capture sound while recording the video?
If you use the line out sockets, you still get sound through the speakers. So you can connect your line outs to the sound recorder, then sync it up to the video when you upload it to your PC :)
@@gearfacts hello I was wondering if you could do a demonstration of the psr 2100. Thanks 😊
@@Psr-tn6dw I’ll see if I can get one :)
@@Psr-tn6dw I’ll try to find one 👍 Anything *Yamaha* is good for my channel

Yup. Remember it's just an opinion though, it's not intended to influence anyone.

Bruce Kennewell Ok, I will. If you subscribe :)
pse 670 better
Thanks showing +&-
No problem 👍
More of the same sounds...nothing new...
Yeah I have to admit I was a little bored. No dynamic controls to add some excitement.

Do you recommend buying Yamaha PSR s900 in 2020?
If the price is a bargain, then yes I think they are good keyboards. I've learned a lot since making this video! :) #gearfacts
