Great video sir and well played. I have sx 900 since early this year, its a great keyboard. Can you please make a video comparing Genos 1 and Genos 2. Thanks

Thanks Phil...the sx900 has been out for about 5 years...i would be very interested in seeing the next version.

Indeed Steve. Yamaha is still selling it pretty hard! Amazing! Despite the Genos 2. I see Genos 2 as being the unspoken version!

Thank you Phil. I've psr s 970 already. Im thinking to go for sx900. Is sx900 is better than s 970. In terms of tones and styles does 975 have more features than sx900. Kindly tell me if sx is better or not

@SwrjisumaBwiswmuthiary Ty! SX is clearly better as to me, as I hear an old processor and less superior sound in the 970 and 975. Reminiscent of the E473 which is a grade down. A little too hollow for my liking and lacking depth. IMHO. Cheers!

Thank you Phil for the demo. Are the sounds and features better or worse than the DGX?

@phillc Ай бұрын

My pleasure. Several of the sounds are better than the DGX. The features are also a bit more extensive. The piano on the DGX is better in my opinion. Combining pianos gives a world-class sound too! The touch screen of the PSR-SX 900 wins.

@@phillc thank you for the informative answer. I’ve been on the fence for the 900 but after seeing your vids on the DGX and I can tell you love it, I wasn’t sure. I mean the GDX is less than half the price of the 900 (here in Stockholm/Sweden). Best Regards
