Great Job ! Though not explicit, for lazy people like me it could be helpful to add '1:07:10 Registration Banks'. It is very easily explained within a minute here with this keyboard (applicable for PSR-SX700 too) unlike other videos in youtube where they go on for minutes and still leave questions.
While this is a super long video it is SOO helpful, I am learning the keyboard while its being shipped to me which will make its arrival day alot more fun. It sort of makes you wonder why EVERY keyboard company does not create a video like this I am sick of a "tutorial" video that is 15 minutes long and doesnt cover 1/4 of the features. Great job man.
You have the patience of a saint, to do videos this long is fantastic, nobody on here does any thing as long as you, and al ot of people won't realise how many hours off camera you have to put in working these thing out ,not easy at all. Without your hard work some people would not have a clue how to work these complicated keyboards. If you thought a mobile phone was tricky try working one of these out , so helpful, keep up your excellent work.
I have bought my SX 900 a couple of months back it was never explored well. I’m so glad that I could hear your tutorial video which is so nice to learn more. This will definitely help me to familiarize the beauty in detail. 👍🏼👍🏼
Great job done. Having purchased PSR SX 700, I was loitering here and there to have an overview until came across this video. I found controls and keys quite intimidating. Many thanks indeed 🙏🌹
Your video has put my mind at rest in purchasing this make and model keyboard. Your video has answered many questions I still had on whether to buy it or not.
I just wanted you to know that when I upgraded to the sx900 from an s950 it was complex enough that I almost sent it back. This video saved me. Thank you so much for your efforts.
I just puchased an SX900 having used a PSR E433 for seven years. I Am slowly learning the features and “tricks” and tutorials like this are a great help. Yes the SX900 is intimidating because it is loaded with so much but there is no hurry to learn it all at once. Take your time and I think it will be worth the expense. Cheers.
Great effort i must say, complete video guide, just one small thing do you feel slightly warm to touch near the master volume area just towards the extreme right edge of the left speaker a slight warm sensation,
this one of the best videos on youtube about yamaha psr sx900. very formative. i am very confident buying one now.thank you so much for the time and effort .cheers
Great tutorial covering all the aspects of the PSR-SX900. Having recently purchased this keyboard I found your tutorial useful. You might want to think about splitting the tutorial into its component parts so that if (for example), I can't remember how the assignable keys can be assigned, I can find this little bit of tutorial with ease. Nice work and thank you.
Thank you very much for your comment! I’m glad that this tutorial has helped you in getting to know how to use the functionalities of this keyboard, it is a great keyboard for the price, and it almost of the same sound quality as the flagship Genos, have fun with your SX900. Thanks for watching!
@@KeyboardKrazy49 I’m only 50 mins into your first tutorial video , I will watch them all, can I ask do you cover on how to put song files in the sx900 I’ve seen a video where he has Freddy Mercury voice etc and greatest showman in the multi pass I think , I’d like to do this but haven’t the first idea on to do it Thanks Pamela
Thank you very much for your comment! I’m glad this tutorial has helped you in getting to know how to use this keyboard, it’s a great mid range keyboard with lots some of the sounds and styles from the Genos and at an affordable price. Thanks for watching and sorry for the late reply!
Thank you for this video it was really helpfull ... plz give tye details about the microphone 🎤 and harmonisers ,effect how to set the mic as universal setting in keyboard
I have never owned any previous Yamaha Keyboards...so omitting things previous shown on the Genos see my point. Other wise great instructional! If your reading thanks!
Sorry for the late reply but thank you for your comment! It is such a great keyboard for what it is, it is basically a mini affordable Genos as it has some sounds and styles from the Genos, if you’re looking for a Yamaha keyboard Gondor this one of the Genos depending on your price range you want to spend. Thanks for watching!
I'm thinking about buying this keyboard... thanks so much for all the info and demonstrations, you did an really excellent job... incredibly helpful!!👍 It really is the keyboard I've literally dreamed of many years ago, but it didn't exist. I'm thrilled to see it's finally materialized! 😎
Very nice and useful video. I bought this machine very recently. This is certainly a very intimidating machine. If you are newbie, you WILL spend most of the time trying to figure out how it works. I’m working it for days and I think I just know only a percentage of the capability of the machine.
Hi there, i did not get how you gotten to the mega voices at 48:59... If I follow your steps, I just get the normal voices going from piano towards a synth tab... How do I switch directly to megavoices? I can see them when looking them up with the looking glass, but no special tab for them here. Thanks in advance for your response . T.
It's like the difference between Apollo.. and the Enterprise. Very adjustable . I tend to be more hands on live playing ..to record. But it's powerful ..and that's where the expense comes in . I tend not to use 80 percent of most tech capabilities.
@@wkelly-hn4kb thanks for your comment! It’s a great keyboard with many great capabilities, but if you’re not into all the technical stuff, you can just play it like a normal keyboard, it’s easy to navigate through the sounds and styles if that’s what you prefer.. nice and easy!
I've seen how you got to the GM sounds at about 1:27:00, nice way :) Any chance of sharing the folder in the extra filesection down below here? Dont have a Tyros, but could sure use the easy acces so I can still play them.
Thanks for your excellent tutorial! Do you or anyone know if we can connect the midi cable from a digital piano to the PSR-SX900, so we can solo on the piano and it also control and -play the style and chords progression on the PSR-SX900? Is there any specific settings we need to set for it to work? Thanks!
Hi Michael, I thought I'd already subscribed when asking you a question. Now I'm a subscriber and I figured out the organ thingy. Hint guys, if you can't get the organ controller to work make sure you are playing the right voice (1, 2, or 3) to hear it. I thought it was an organ sound when it actually wasn't! And if anyone knows why the modulator doesn't change whether it's on or off, or no matter how much you move your joystick, I'd love to know why! Thanks again!
@@KeyboardKrazy49 please make a small video on that, "how to activate Dsp, var, mono, touch for a selected voice on psr sx900". It will be very helpful
BHARATH V R it will be in 1:01:13 this is also the part how I show how to create registrations, I go to voice part and that’s where you can change dsp, poly to mono
Wow. This video was insanely helpful for a half-beginner like me, you taught me so many things about this keyboard that I didn't even know before. One quick question- what does a playlist do in a keyboard?
Great wounderful tutorial. Question 1. Sir how to transfer my data from my keyboard psrsx700 to my USB. ALSO how to transfer data From my USB to my keyboard psrsx700. THANKS
It was quite a ride but I enjoyed your great explanation in this video. I found out that for playing the XG and GM voices, you can bring them out in the way you described in a style and then save them as a favorite. Then you can even open this voice in the voice editor and save it in your user memory as a playable voice.
Hi Michael! Love your video. Love that you're so detailed and don't wiz through things and leave me behind in the dust! I just got my PSRSX900 and wow does it rock! Unfortunately the organ modulation/slow/fast doesn't work properly. I make sure I'm playing an organ when I use it. The joystick works and bends the sound when I move it around but the sound never changes from slow to fast and the lights don't change colors when I move the joystick up and down. I guess I"ll have to return it even though it just arrived today. Unless you can tell me something that perhaps I'm not doing right. Thanks!
Brilliant just please guide me the multi pad voice is not changing same piano is coming , I might have made some changes in freezing not able to rectify it
I've just bought a PSR SX900 and your video was helpful - incredibly long and not at all slick and quote repetitive but helpful nevertheless. May be worth thinking through a script from basic to complex operations but thanks for the effort put in to making this...
What styles did the keyboard come from that you’re trying to load? Because if it’s styles from tyros 3 upwards they will not work as they are in SFF2 (Style File Format 2)
Thank you very much for your comment! I glad that you have enjoyed this tutorial video and that you have found it useful, I will be showing more keyboards sometime this year and will also be doing tutorials of them as well. Thanks for watching!
Hello Michael, WOW! Long video, but this shows us the details of operating the SX900 before buying, which I'm considering to do. Great explanations and demos, I've got you subbed. I wonder if you could explain and show how the Score display works? And details on the Lyrics display? Does the SX900 display PDF files of song notation or lyrics? Is there any way to display a chord sheet? And also, is it possible for you to show how an external display monitor works with the USB adapter? I haven't seen anyone out there show these sorts of features for SX900 yet. Thanks!
Sorry for the late reply but thank you for your comment! I’ve never really used the music score display as I learn music by ear, I’m not so sure about PDF files via the lyrics but I’m pretty sure it does as I don’t really use MIDI files to play songs, when I play song covers I use the internal styles, and I believe the chords come up with the lyrics as well, I don’t have an adapter for external display, I would’ve definitely showed that feature if I had one, at least with the adapter you can have a much larger display than the keyboard screen. The PSR-SX900 is capable of just about anything for song writing! Thanks for watching and thanks for the sub!
@@KeyboardKrazy49 Thanks Michael, I'm not very good with "by ear", but more experience will hopefully develop that. Reading the sheet notation and score helps me a lot, so I'll be experimenting with the screens when I get my SX900 next week! Cheers!
I’ve got to be honest, although this tutorial was a little bit schizophrenic to say the least, it is at the same time one of the most informative ones that I have yet to find on the internet
Hello everyone! This keyboard is better than Pa1000? I want to buy on Black Friday a keyboard at the end of the year, I don't know which model to buy better.
Unfortunately there isn’t, but what you could do is record a midi song, then overdub it using audio recording, because with audio recording you can overdub it as many times as you like
Hi! can you help me out with a question please. i used to have genos, had to sell it and im gonna repleace it with the sx900, will my free expansions packages and some others that i bought will work on the sx900 as well? thank you
Great video...when installing the expansion pack (final step) on the keyboard, I get "Cannot execute quick installation. Install with a full installer (.ppi/.cpi)." Uhhh...now what? Cheers.
Nice video. It would be great if you made an alphabetical index of the subject (assignables, chord looper, etc.) and then show where on the video I can find it. E.g. Customize the assignable buttons at 27:20. You could even go one step further and show where in your video certain items in the User Manual are discussed. E.g. User manual page 84: Song recording (where in your video can I find that). I appreciate the work you did. I cannot figure out how to save and then retrieve a song that I recorded using Audio Quick Recording.
Sometimes both hands are busy and it is necessary to change a voice. Does anyone know if it is possible to purchase a replace voice with a pedal or foot button? Thanks.
@@KeyboardKrazy49 thank you for the answer. This road is long. It has drawbacks and I can't use it. For example sound 1 for one section, sound 2 for a second section and you can't go back to sound 1 you always have to move forward. but save sound 1 for button 3. A huge amount for information. I'm looking for something to have control over the sound 1,2,3, foot. Thanks
Thank you for your comment! You can copy them from your PSR-3000 via usb stick and then transfer them into the user section of the SX700, if you watch my second genos tutorial video, I will show exactly how to do that, for that example, I have used my tyros 4 to show how to copy the voices over to a stick and to transfer them onto your new keyboard such as the Genos, PSR-SX700/900 etc. Thanks for watching!
Wow....thank you for the detailed review....Really helpful...I have a question....Can you external wireless bluetooth speaker to connect to the keyboard so that the sound comes out from the wireless speaker while playing?Thanks
Hi, I'm looking for a keyboard where I can separate the outputs. One channel for Bass, One for drums and another for live play. Will the PSR SX900 do that?
A good detailed video. However, does anyone know of a video showing the Vocal Harmony 2 features in detail on the SX900. I've trawled TH-cam and its never mentioned.
Thank you for your comment! Sorry I missed out the vocal harmony 2 feature, I probably should’ve showed that, but I will bear that in mind for a future tutorial of a Yamaha keyboard. Thanks for watching!
Great video! Lots of examples and variations. One question... when you were creating the Style from scratch, why is there not a global quantize parameter? I would think this would save time rather than having to quantize every time.
Thank you for your comment! I’m glad this tutorial has helped you getting to know how to use this keyboard, if you’re stuck on anything, you can just go back to this video and I’m sure this video will guide you to what you’re stuck on. Thanks for watching!
gerald antony thank you for your comment! Yes you can use S970 expansion packs for the SX700 but bear in mind that the SX700 has approximately 400mb of internal data to add expansion packs, the s970 has 512mb so the SX700 will be quite limited of adding expansion packs. Thanks for watching!
I am about halfway to your video. The tutorial I ever seen. I have a question, I tried to download a USB I in to Playlist, and saved it, I was not able to save it there and lost the original playlist. What can I do?
I do not see Michaels time list. I only see part of robsons time list. Could somebody post the complete list for this excellent tutorial? Where is blutooth explained?
Bonjour je souhaiterais tout simplement avoir les bons paramétrages comment connecter clavier maitre yamaha 88 lesté sur psr sx900 yamaha en midi in et out...merci
Thank you Michael for the hard work you put in making those videos, excellent job. I am considering purchasing a PSR-SX900 as currently own a Korg PA1000 which I have created a large number of styles from .wav files, will I be able to import those into the PSR-SX900 as wav or any other media files? Again thank you.
Thank you very much for your comment! I’m glad that this tutorial has helped you in thinking about buying this keyboard. I have never tried putting PA1000 styles onto an SX900, I wonder if there is a style conversion software available, if so, I think that would be the best thing to do to convert your styles for use with the SX900, the format of the SX900 is Style File Format 2 (SSF2) or it can be normal SSF, I’m not sure if WAV flies will work, but WAV files for the drum parts will work making your style an audio style. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
It can also be playable on the Yamaha DGX 670 because on the DGX 670, you can’t get access to the GMGM2 and XG voices so you have to copy them using a Yamaha website or on a tyro keyboard.
Great tutorial Michael, I still can't decide whether to purchase this one or the SX700. I think it's just down to pure sound quality at the end of the day. Sometimes when listening to both keyboards in headphones I think I can hear a real difference but on another day it's hard to tell them apart. I know I won't need the extras features so my choice will definitely be down to the sound.
Hello Michael! Thank you for this video lesson. I am from Kazakhstan. My name is Alisher. I just bought a Yamaha PSR-SX900 synthesizer. If it is possible, I ask you to make a PERSONAL video lesson on creating YOUR STYLE with a detailed demonstration of all synth's features. Thanks in advance! I apologize for my English.
Hello Michael, greetings from Spain colleague. Congratulations on the great videos you make. I am interested in a very important aspect of the PSR-SX900, since because of the pandemic it does not allow us to physically play the keyboard in the store, and therefore I do not know what touch the keys of the instrument transmit? How do the keys on this keyboard feel? Compared to a Korg PA700, are they better or somewhat similar? Thank you very much Michael and I am looking forward to new videos from you.
Thank you so much for this very thorough and helpful video! I have a Tyros 5 and was considering the Genos but the price tag and the 71 keys were a turn off for me. The sx900 as a "mini/compact" Genos seems to be perfect to me and I can keep my T5. One question, please. Can you tell me if the styles interchangeable between the 2 keyboards? Thanks!
Sorry for the late reply but thank you very much for your comment! I’m glad this video has helped you in thinking of buying this keyboard, it’s an absolutely fantastic keyboard with loads of features and inherits sounds and styles from the Genos at an affordable price! You’re right about the SX900 being a mini/compact Genos or it could be known as the Tyros 5+ because it has all the sounds and features from the Tyros 5 (except for SA2 voices and ensemble voices), and plus it has some sounds and features from the Genos. Yes the styles are interchangeable between the 2 keyboards, you can copy the styles from the Tyros 5 onto the SX900 (except audio styles), and you can copy the styles from the SX900 to the Tyros 5 but most will need revoicing because of the new drum kits and new sounds. Thanks for watching!

Thank you very much for your comment! I glad that you have enjoyed this tutorial video and that you have found it useful, I will be showing more keyboards sometime this year and will also be doing tutorials of them as well.
Thanks for watching!
Hello Michael, WOW! Long video, but this shows us the details of operating the SX900 before buying, which I'm considering to do. Great explanations and demos, I've got you subbed. I wonder if you could explain and show how the Score display works? And details on the Lyrics display? Does the SX900 display PDF files of song notation or lyrics? Is there any way to display a chord sheet? And also, is it possible for you to show how an external display monitor works with the USB adapter? I haven't seen anyone out there show these sorts of features for SX900 yet. Thanks!
Sorry for the late reply but thank you for your comment! I’ve never really used the music score display as I learn music by ear, I’m not so sure about PDF files via the lyrics but I’m pretty sure it does as I don’t really use MIDI files to play songs, when I play song covers I use the internal styles, and I believe the chords come up with the lyrics as well, I don’t have an adapter for external display, I would’ve definitely showed that feature if I had one, at least with the adapter you can have a much larger display than the keyboard screen.
The PSR-SX900 is capable of just about anything for song writing!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the sub!
@@KeyboardKrazy49 Thanks Michael, I'm not very good with "by ear", but more experience will hopefully develop that. Reading the sheet notation and score helps me a lot, so I'll be experimenting with the screens when I get my SX900 next week! Cheers!
@David M Thanks David! Looking forward to it......... (where is that delivery truck?? LOL)
How do i turn volume on yamaha if i plug it in speaker?
Great video! Anyone know if the multi pad has volume control?
yamaha psr sx900 how to change voices with a FC3 foot pedal not in hands. THANKS.
I’ve got to be honest, although this tutorial was a little bit schizophrenic to say the least, it is at the same time one of the most informative ones that I have yet to find on the internet
Can you show more detailed info for setting up registrations for play list
There is a timer stamp in which I show you how to create your own playlist, and to add registrations to your playlist
Is it possible to lower style volume that stays fixed.
I can lower it in EQ settings but reverts back to too loud when next selection is done.
It's very helpful tutorials, Thank you so much.
Hello everyone!
This keyboard is better than Pa1000? I want to buy on Black Friday a keyboard at the end of the year, I don't know which model to buy better.
For multi track midi recording, is there overdubbing available for each track?
Unfortunately there isn’t, but what you could do is record a midi song, then overdub it using audio recording, because with audio recording you can overdub it as many times as you like
@@KeyboardKrazy49 thank you🙏
Anyone know how to turn down the audio song playback volume? Its drowning out the mic even when mic gain on full.
Hi! can you help me out with a question please. i used to have genos, had to sell it and im gonna repleace it with the sx900, will my free expansions packages and some others that i bought will work on the sx900 as well? thank you
Great video...when installing the expansion pack (final step) on the keyboard, I get "Cannot execute quick installation. Install with a full installer (.ppi/.cpi)." Uhhh...now what? Cheers.
Nice video. It would be great if you made an alphabetical index of the subject (assignables, chord looper, etc.) and then show where on the video I can find it. E.g. Customize the assignable buttons at 27:20. You could even go one step further and show where in your video certain items in the User Manual are discussed. E.g. User manual page 84: Song recording (where in your video can I find that). I appreciate the work you did. I cannot figure out how to save and then retrieve a song that I recorded using Audio Quick Recording.
I was wondering if you were gonna feature it ^^ also FIRST COMMENT
Sometimes both hands are busy and it is necessary to change a voice. Does anyone know if it is possible to purchase a replace voice with a pedal or foot button? Thanks.
You can make registration memories with different sounds, and toggle them with a pedal which I have shown on this video
@@KeyboardKrazy49 thank you for the answer. This road is long. It has drawbacks and I can't use it. For example sound 1 for one section, sound 2 for a second section and you can't go back to sound 1 you always have to move forward. but save sound 1 for button 3. A huge amount for information. I'm looking for something to have control over the sound 1,2,3, foot. Thanks
You re so kind. Thanks.
Thank you for this nice tutorial.
I come from PSR3000 to PSR-SX700
How can i get the GM/GX and GM2 voices files to load them into my PSR-SX700?
Thank you for your comment! You can copy them from your PSR-3000 via usb stick and then transfer them into the user section of the SX700, if you watch my second genos tutorial video, I will show exactly how to do that, for that example, I have used my tyros 4 to show how to copy the voices over to a stick and to transfer them onto your new keyboard such as the Genos, PSR-SX700/900 etc.
Thanks for watching!
Wow....thank you for the detailed review....Really helpful...I have a question....Can you external wireless bluetooth speaker to connect to the keyboard so that the sound comes out from the wireless speaker while playing?Thanks
I think so I saw someone else who did that
Hi, I'm looking for a keyboard where I can separate the outputs. One channel for Bass, One for drums and another for live play. Will the PSR SX900 do that?
Great information ..thank you! 🤟
Good video
Great help and great job sir!
A good detailed video. However, does anyone know of a video showing the Vocal Harmony 2 features in detail on the SX900. I've trawled TH-cam and its never mentioned.
Thank you for your comment! Sorry I missed out the vocal harmony 2 feature, I probably should’ve showed that, but I will bear that in mind for a future tutorial of a Yamaha keyboard.
Thanks for watching!
❤❤❤❤ thank you so much 😊
Great video! Lots of examples and variations. One question... when you were creating the Style from scratch, why is there not a global quantize parameter? I would think this would save time rather than having to quantize every time.
Excellent! Well done. It's very detailed and I can use it as a reference. Thank you.
Thank you for your comment! I’m glad this tutorial has helped you getting to know how to use this keyboard, if you’re stuck on anything, you can just go back to this video and I’m sure this video will guide you to what you’re stuck on.
Thanks for watching!
I have to say the Design of this keyboard looks really nice I wonder how 80s songs sounds like on this instrument
The design and keyboard are absolutely fantastic! The 80s styles on this keyboard sound almost the same as on the Genos
Wow.. Greetings from Gerald UAE
Really great dedicated work
It's helpful for my SX700 also..
Can I use the expansion packs of S970 on my SX700..
gerald antony thank you for your comment! Yes you can use S970 expansion packs for the SX700 but bear in mind that the SX700 has approximately 400mb of internal data to add expansion packs, the s970 has 512mb so the SX700 will be quite limited of adding expansion packs.
Thanks for watching!
I am about halfway to your video. The tutorial I ever seen. I have a question, I tried to download a USB I in to Playlist, and saved it, I was not able to save it there and lost the original playlist. What can I do?
Could you show the mic settings?? I have some issues with mic settings!!
Just bought a k900. What problems do you have?
@@jamesvincent4976 can we record the vocals from the mic? And can we do it on multi track recording?
Vamsi Raj Paul : look at utube, Cha cha by James Vincent .this was just one take on audio.then saved into a usb
I do not see Michaels time list. I only see part of robsons time list. Could somebody post the complete list for this excellent tutorial? Where is blutooth explained?
Bonjour je souhaiterais tout simplement avoir les bons paramétrages comment connecter clavier maitre yamaha 88 lesté sur psr sx900 yamaha en midi in et out...merci
Thank you Michael for the hard work you put in making those videos, excellent job. I am considering purchasing a PSR-SX900 as currently own a Korg PA1000 which I have created a large number of styles from .wav files, will I be able to import those into the PSR-SX900 as wav or any other media files? Again thank you.
Thank you very much for your comment! I’m glad that this tutorial has helped you in thinking about buying this keyboard. I have never tried putting PA1000 styles onto an SX900, I wonder if there is a style conversion software available, if so, I think that would be the best thing to do to convert your styles for use with the SX900, the format of the SX900 is Style File Format 2 (SSF2) or it can be normal SSF, I’m not sure if WAV flies will work, but WAV files for the drum parts will work making your style an audio style.
Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
What if you don't have a tyros keyboard to copy the gm or xg voices, can you download it on a website?
You could just go to your local music shop that may have a tyros on display and copy them from that
It can also be playable on the Yamaha DGX 670 because on the DGX 670, you can’t get access to the GMGM2 and XG voices so you have to copy them using a Yamaha website or on a tyro keyboard.
Great tutorial Michael, I still can't decide whether to purchase this one or the SX700. I think it's just down to pure sound quality at the end of the day. Sometimes when listening to both keyboards in headphones I think I can hear a real difference but on another day it's hard to tell them apart. I know I won't need the extras features so my choice will definitely be down to the sound.
You can get more stuff in the sx900
@@pikamakusu Big price difference though, I wonder if all the extras are necessary????
Hello Michael!
Thank you for this video lesson.
I am from Kazakhstan.
My name is Alisher.
I just bought a Yamaha PSR-SX900 synthesizer.
If it is possible, I ask you to make a PERSONAL video lesson on creating YOUR STYLE with a detailed demonstration of all synth's features.
Thanks in advance!
I apologize for my English.
Hello Michael, greetings from Spain colleague. Congratulations on the great videos you make. I am interested in a very important aspect of the PSR-SX900, since because of the pandemic it does not allow us to physically play the keyboard in the store, and therefore I do not know what touch the keys of the instrument transmit? How do the keys on this keyboard feel? Compared to a Korg PA700, are they better or somewhat similar? Thank you very much Michael and I am looking forward to new videos from you.
Need to be sure if Expansion Packs and Custom Created Styles/Rhythms for the S770, S775, S970 and S975 will work seamlessly on the SX900?
Yes they will work, expansion packs I put on this keyboard were for the S970 when I used to have one, and they work perfectly on the SX900
Thank you so much for this very thorough and helpful video! I have a Tyros 5 and was considering the Genos but the price tag and the 71 keys were a turn off for me. The sx900 as a "mini/compact" Genos seems to be perfect to me and I can keep my T5. One question, please. Can you tell me if the styles interchangeable between the 2 keyboards? Thanks!
Yes! The styles are interchangeable. No problem!
Sorry for the late reply but thank you very much for your comment! I’m glad this video has helped you in thinking of buying this keyboard, it’s an absolutely fantastic keyboard with loads of features and inherits sounds and styles from the Genos at an affordable price!
You’re right about the SX900 being a mini/compact Genos or it could be known as the Tyros 5+ because it has all the sounds and features from the Tyros 5 (except for SA2 voices and ensemble voices), and plus it has some sounds and features from the Genos.
Yes the styles are interchangeable between the 2 keyboards, you can copy the styles from the Tyros 5 onto the SX900 (except audio styles), and you can copy the styles from the SX900 to the Tyros 5 but most will need revoicing because of the new drum kits and new sounds.
Thanks for watching!
@@KeyboardKrazy49 thank you so much for your reply. I'm definitely going to get the sx900! I have subscribed and looking forward to your future videos. ☺️
How to we turn off the touch that control how hard we press on the key..i could say touch controller
So far not seen harmony vocals display as only psr 900 has it thp old model 3000 has it plus 1000 karokees and cost 2000 in year 2004
hi, i have one question. how many voices we can layer together at one time on Yamaha PSR-SX900?
On the right hand side you can layer up to 3 voices together which is a first for a mid ranged keyboard by Yamaha
@@KeyboardKrazy49 thank You very much
I would like to ask why in the menu set the Italian language and everything remains in English?
