Adam Norell which model was that? I am curious. Many years ago I had a PSR E433 and I loved it.

@@HubertEtAlice I have no idea! Yamaha have made hundreds of different PSR models through the years. If I had to guess, my model was from between 2003-2006. I gave it away to a local charity, so I guess it found good use!

@@Dbentzjr well time to get a new one !!

thank you trey for the comment, will certianly try to find more interesting topics on the arrangers!

agreed!

pleased to read that Donald, thanks for letting us know!

I have a yamaha psr 700sx and im very pleased with it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

include the strat in the fun!

hi al, are you going to pick up the sx600? that's really intriguing to me as a low cost option, that offers a lot of what the 900 and genos can do. what's in your stack of psrs these days?

@@WoodyPianoShack Hello Woody ... no I'm not buying the SX 600 because I bought SX 700 to add to my S 710 and S 670 and S 775 ... I was going to get the SX 900 but I decided the SX 700 is just as good as SX 900 ... only real difference is the memory space and even with the extra memory space ... you can only play so much with your fingers ... The Genos is basically a big memory card for crazy money or in other words a very expensive karaoke machine ..lol.. I find it's good fun tweaking the crap out of my keyboards to get maximum sound from them ... plus with Jan's expansion packs they all have a real punch to them ... that's something you should look into as well... creating new voices for them ... I'm sure a lot of your viewers would be very interested in that feature of the newer PSR S models... voices can be tweaked with Yamaha expansion manager too ... something for you to think about for a future project on your brilliant channel !!!

you're right, that's indeed the vibe here!

way to go, in fact the sx has made me really want to try genos!

I'm intrigued by the 600 and the value it offers, I asked Yamaha, but they are apparently in very short supply.

Woody Piano Shack Yes the SX600 is very recent and the lockdown probably doesn't help for transportation.

never got my hands on the dgx, sorry

i don't recall exactly what I did and I think I've cleared out those registrations now :/ main trick was getting rid of all the effects and just running it through one of the amp sims, experiment and see what sounds good to you!

@@WoodyPianoShack thank you, I will try it that way👍

a $2500 metronome, that's a fun way to look at it! yeah, I think you're right, when you start programming your own arrangements then you have no limits and can make it your sound, and all controleable in real time. I just wish their was a software editor for that, as its a pain to do it on board. I bet Yamaha have their own internal tools when they create their factory styles, can't see them doing it on a 4" touchscreen.

@@WoodyPianoShack it’s a lot easier on the korg pa4x . It’s the best of workstation and arranger features .

Woody Piano Shack Yeah. The Casio CT-X series are screaming for a software rhythm editor, too. I’d like to be a little mouse and spy at Casio’s headquarters.

the MX is the bomb with its Hex layer and samplepads

@ Hi! Thanks for your comment - not really spent that much time with the MZ-X500 since purchase, but intend on learning it more end of this holiday break in to the New Year 😎👍🕛🎆🍾🥂

no such place afaik, keep experimenting, acoustic sounds layered with soft pad/string sounds always sound good

Thanks :-)

Don't you hate it when you ask these guys a question and they don't answer? I'm not woody but at least I'll answer your question. I'm a beginner too and I have this exact keyboard psrsx900, and I love it but there's a ton of learning either way you go. But for the price and quality it's unmatched. Just be prepared to learn learn learn. Study what it does, watch videos. Best advice I can give you. Good luck!!

@@blue-penguin_inc thanks bro for your rply.. i have already purchased SX900 and loved everything about it.. still a long way to go..thnks n all the best for your learning... \m/

yes, that is the case, so the comp is right on the downbeat.

no, but the keyboard is able to scan the entire keyboard to figure out the chords. works quite well, but you will have to adapt your playing to help it a bit.

you can program and store a chord progression, then can play it back and loop the chords at whatever tempo, and whichever style you wish.

people keep saying they are nice, but hard to come by up here.

no, the basic sampes are there, but not the round-robin technology used in the genos to make it sound more natural and realistic.

interesting, for me the psr is a real-time performance machine, not a sequencer, although it has one built in, I haven't tried it yet, but I have some plans to do so in coming weeks, so let's see how it goes... :)

@@WoodyPianoShack That's my whole point,really...arranger keyboards are indeed,for performance....so why include a sequencer in one? However....oddly enough,Yamaha markets their arranger keyboards as arranger-workstations,by calling them arranger-workstations.In doing so,such marketing-tactic-trickery attracts people like me(this is how I was duped into buying a PSR-S670.) My mindset at that time,was that since Yamaha did away with their Motif line,the song sequencer was carried over into their PSR line(except of course,that unbeknownst to me as it were,Yamaha's arranger keyboards had what they call a Performance Sequencer,rather than a Song Sequencer.In other words,the PSR's sequencer has preset parameters(i.e. no custom insert effects to an individual track and no custom loop recording with a copy & paste function.)

@@HighlandStudio91 Hello my friend, If a PSR could do everything that a Motif could do, can you name just one reason why I should buy a Motif? If it had the 88 weighted key bed and the piano sound of a Digital piano, could you name just one reason why I should buy a Digital piano? Different people would like the instruments to have the ability to do a lot of different things that other instruments already can do, but.... Anyway, you can edit many things on a PSR's Style or Song Creator, but it will take you so much time that it doesn't worth trying to use a keyboard with styles like you would use a synthesizer. If you want to create a song, you just play the song in real time and record it in 4 mins. That's the PSR series main purpose. A car manufacturer will tell you that you need to buy a 50.000$ car to move around with your family. Can you blame him?

@@panosfloyd All of these hardware debates are irrelevant to me now,as I cancelled my preorder for the Korg Nautilus.I've been waiting for my Nautilus since February and now,Korg has delayed the shipment until June. Interesting how Korg has these keyboards available to give away to people like Woody 7 months ago and yet, people like me who are paying customers,STILL have not received their preorders.I preordered the f**king thing 7 months ago & Korg cannot even do me the courtesy to give me a solid shipment date.It's all just as well in the end though....as most of my hardware keyboards have disappointed me in one way or another.The best hardware workstation I ever had,was the Korg M3(but the expansion library set via a USB stick,crashed the OS in my M3,so I sold it.) I'll never piss away my hard-earned money ever again on defective & over-priced hardware.For the cost of a Nautilus 73,I instead.....bought an M-Audio Hammer 88 Pro midi controller keyboard,a pair of KRK Rokit 7 G4's,upgraded my Propellerhead Reason 10 DAW to version 11,upgraded to a new PC tower(Intel 7 core,1 TB SSD,16 GB of RAM) and bought a monster studio workstation desk.Hardware keyboards cost thousands of dollars,have limited sounds & memory and when they fail,you are left with nothing and you have to pay thousands more to replace them.Whereas the software you buy for you PC,lasts a lifetime and the computers have longevity & are upgradable. F**k Korg and f**k hardware in general,as I've moved forward & will never look back....

@@HighlandStudio91 So,you got that right.If you want to use "sounds","effects" and stuff you better go to your PC. Back in the '70s and '80s they didn't have PCs so they needed to use a bunch of different synthesizers for their sounds in a studio. But yet, we still need instruments with a good hardware for live playing. By the way, Yamaha owns Cubase. Maybe you shouldn't blame Korg for that trouble that caused to you, because of all the things that happen to the global trade lately. Many stores were closed and many people lost their jobs...

These arguments usually come from people who play zero notes, sequence all their stuff and just turn a couple of knobs every now and then during their "live" performances. Arrangers are great because you basically get a band to play with in real time, good for both prattice and performing. It's immediate fun, the next best thing after playing with other people.

not sure I understand exactly the issue, but do what you need to!

I switch on fallow the lights nothing happens eat is the point of keyboard have this if you can't use it odd

@@WoodyPianoShack psrsx700 I got ripped of the keys are children size not adult fingers slip always because children size keys sounds terrible to and gave us tons of music from 1920s wtf we are not two hundred yes old
