That is great to hear! I am sure you will love you new PSR-SX700 just as much as I do! Thanks for checking out the video!

@@Danboarding thank u soo much

Hello and thank you for your kind words!

Thank you very much for your kind words!

I adore the Genos and secretly wishes for it! Maybe one of these days, if I can save enough to afford it! I will probably do the same and will keep the Genos as a permanent instrument at home while using this sx700 when I need to play music somewhere else.

It will be a worthy upgrade! Thanks for checking out the video!

@@Danboarding You Welcome. I feel the SX700 has Better Sound quality. i believe Yamaha made it equivalent to the Tyros4 Tyros5 Genos😉

Thank you for your kind words! I hope I can play something better next time.

Thanks!

Hi there. I don't think so. I have an iPad that's years and years old and it is still working perfectly. Besides, it's not all touch screen with this keyboard. There are still redundant buttons in it so you can choose to use buttons or the touch screen. The touch screen just makes it really easy to input text, say, when naming a registration memory.

Thank you! Cheers!

@@Danboarding no worries 😌

HI there and thanks for checking out the video. The keyboard of this instrument is one of the best, in my opinion. I've previously owned a PSR-E series, a PSRS-670 and rented a PSRS-975 for a number of months. I can rank the quality of the keyboard of the PSR-SX700 at the very top in my experience of using it since I got it last February. They are very sturdy, yes. As for noise, I only notice a tiny bit when I happen to hit keys with my fingernails, but barely noticeable. The buttons on this particular model has a rubber texture to it, so it picks up dust and and maybe dead skins from my very dry hands, LOL! They can look unsightly after a few weeks of use, but once I wipe them off with a slightly damp clothe, then they look brand new once more. Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions about it.

@@Danboarding Exactly what I wanted to know, thanks a lot :)

Hi Jay. The sound volume is probably as loud as the S975, which means it will need an amplifier to fill a room with sound. I have tried it with a room full of people (around 12' x 12") and I am at 3/4 full and the it sounded okay.

The PSR-SX700 is relatively new as well, and you will get the modern feature such as the touch screen interface. I hope you come to a best buying decision soon, good luck!

​@@Danboarding I won't be buying an arranger keyboard after all partly because there's no point in buying it just for midi sequencing if I'm not going to use the auto accompaniments ( I honestly suck at playing live ). Also as I have resigned from work I can't justify spending money on something I don't need. The PSR-295 is still an acceptable keyboard for arranging public domain songs like Christmas carols and it's still a good learning tool.

@@LittleRichard1988 Sounds good! I remembered a saying that I heard back then, "the best instrument is the one you have right now." Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Hi there! There should be a switch beside the mic jack at the back of the instrument. Make sure that the switch is set to MIC and not GUITAR. You can also refer for instructions in the user manual. Hope that helps!

Very soon!

LOL I had experienced playing on a KORG and the start up is indeed a bit long.

I guess I did, do I don't know what that meant. If you meant from a S975 to this SX700, I don't think so. I gained the touch screen functionality and the latest hardware. I may have lost some voices and styles and the vocal harmonizer, but I am fine with that. Thanks for checking out the video.

Hello po! I don't have the keyboard with me anymore as I sold it, pero if you click on the MIXER button, a volume mixer setup should appear on the screen. You can then experiment by turning up or turning down the levels of the instruments such as the Style or the Voice.

@@Danboarding Thank you for your prompt response and your suggestion - I will try that. I hope you got yourself a more advance keyboard. Mabuhay, have a pleasant day, and Godbless

@@teresaandkerrywhocares539 I have one na po. I feature it in my other channel kzfaq.info/love/WWG5g_keA4A8bfzBs_BCkw?view_as=subscriber

Good choice!

@@Danboarding bought it after my commenting here.... sounds really awesome! for that price you got everything - and it inspires!

@@AndrewLeSynt That's great! I am sure that you will have a lot of fun playing with your new musical instrument!

Hi there! This one does not. Only the PSR-SX900 and S975 has the voice harmonizer.

It did took me a while to figure out how to play any of Yamaha's PSR series keyboards. I think I found a bit of success by just sticking it out with the basic piano at the start, then gradually going over the user manual to figure out how to do other stuff such as adding rhythms and such. Having all those buttons and features can be quite overwhelming, but since you cannot return it back to the store maybe give it another chance and just stick with the piano at first. Good luck!

Hi there! Audio recorded directly to iPhone that I was using to film the video. I have not tried recording directly into a computer yet. Hope that helps, thanks for checking out the video!

@@Danboarding , Thanks so much for your respond , Best regards 😎👍💖

Atherva Kulkarni Yes, I would highly recommend this product. It would be a very, very good upgrade as it has the latest technology that Yamaha offers for their arranger keyboard.

Did u buy? How much did it cost?

It does not come with a sustain pedal or the stand. You have to purchase those separately.

@@Danboardingthanks

I am not sure, but you can try to set right 1 as bass, then right 3 as bass, then go to Menu and choose "Split & Fingering". Hold down right 3 button and press the key where you want to split the keyboard. It will be three octave higher, though, so I am not sure if that is how you would want it. Apologies if my answer was not correct, I hope you can find a solution elsewhere.

Danboarding Thank you. I got it now.

Hi there! I have to say that the SX700 is better for me due to the touch screen and the latest hardware. The S975's slight advantage is the vocal harmonizer when you connect a microphone and more voices and styles. I did like the S975 during the time I rented it, but now that I have the SX700 I have no regrets. Maybe my regret would be not getting the pricier SX900, which has the vocal harmonizer and more voices and styles, but that is a thousand dollars more.

Hi there! There’s not touch on/off button that I know of, but there may be something deep in the settings where that can probably be changed or fine tuned. Hope that helps; sorry as I have not delved into playing around with the touch settings of this keyboard.

@@Danboarding okay. Thank u

Hi there! I think the SX700 matches up really well with the older S975. They both have two 15W speakers. The top-of-the-line SX900 has two 15W plus another two 10W speaker, so that model probably sounds even better. During my brief time renting the S975, I find the sound quality to be really good, especially compared to my old PSR-S670. I can say that this SX700 sounds better not only because it has much newer hardware, but also the ability to layer 3 voices for the right hand compared to only 2 on the S975 makes it sound even better! I also find those with super articulation such as guitar voices to sound even better as well. If I had to choose between an S975 and this one, I will surely go for the SX700. I may be missing some styles and voices and the ability to vocal harmonize using a plugged-in microphone, but so far things are working well for me and I can feel that I have barely scratched the surface in using this instrument. Hope that helps!

@@Danboarding thanks for detailed reply, I'm planning to get sx700 (my 1st Yamaha keyboard) so wanted to know that if it has more refined & realistic instrument sounds than s975.

@@MrLeo3D Good choice! If you are okay with probably a hundred less styles and voices and don't need the vocal harmonizer and chord looper of the top-of-the-line SX900, then the SX700 is a great instrument! It's a thousand dollars less than the SX900, so I think it's a better deal, which was why I bought one myself.

@@Danboarding thanks got mine too yesterday :) I would like to request you for some tutorials, especially for making custom styles.

@@MrLeo3D Awesome, glad to hear that! I am sure you will love this instrument! It pays to read the manual just to get really familiar with it. Coincidentally, I have modified some styles to create my own. It is not a style from the ground up, but hopefully it will be one that you are looking for. I will see if I can make a video. If not, please check out Jeremy See's KZfaq Channel. Here's his video on how to edit styles to be able to create your own: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aMWKaJaSqN6xe4k.html&t

I would go with the latest, which is the PSR SX700. I tried the PSR 770 before; the SX700 has the touch screen, which makes navigating menus easier.

Hi there! I am loving my PSR-SX700! I use it everyday and I get to record praise and worship songs with it for our Bible Study. It is the arranger keyboard that I’ve always wanted and I am very happy that I own one! Of course, it would be double the pleasure if I had a Genos like yours! Maybe down the road, once I have saved enough to be able afford one, I would definitely get a Genos. For portability, yes, the SX700 is good and I can imagine better than brining a beast of an instrument as a Genos.. I bought a really good carrying case for it so it would be easy to bring along as the unit is a bit heavy, say compared to the PSR E series. I think you will find it a good choice if you need one that you can bring along with you that is as capable as the Genos!

@@Danboarding Hi there. I just ordered a PSR SX700 today but it will take 2-3 weeks for delivery. They said I should receive it by the end of this month October. Previously I owned an old Yamaha PSR 640 which was pretty cool. Is the piano sound on the SX700 realistic close to a real piano? What kind of carry case do you have? can you send a link? Thanks!

@@Papirind26 Hi Leo! Congratulations on your purchase! It's going to be worth the wait! The piano sound on the PSR-SX700 is really good! The default piano would be a Grand Piano, so right out of the box you will be able to try it out once you get yours delivered to you. I have a video of the gig bag that I bought for this keyboard, which is a Gator GK-61. Here's the link to the video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nMiUhZeoxN6VdqM.html

@@Danboarding Thanks for sharing the link for the carry case. Is this sufficient for international travel or will I need a stronger case like the ones made with wood metal I think they call them flight case?

@@Papirind26 In my opinion, this particular case is only good for when you drive to and from a gig. If it's for international travel, then you definitely might need a stronger case such as the flight case you mentioned. I believe Gator also makes one; I have not tried some of those yet but you can check it out from their website www.gatorcases.com/keyboard-cases-gig-bags/

Happy to hear that! I am sure you will enjoy this instrument as much as I do!

I rented out the Yamaha S975 and it has more voices than the SX700. The SX700 is like the S775, the lower model of the S-range, in a way. I chose to to go with the SX700 because it is the latest model, and I like the touch screen LCD better, which the S975 or S775 does not have. The S975 is still a good choice if you can find one second-hand at a good price, but if you want the latest, then the SX range would be a good choice too. I hope that helps.

@@Danboarding So finally.... what is the best?..

@@sairamkeys You have to decide for yourself what's best, depending on your budget and needs. Before I chose mine, I tried the keyboards out by going to my local music store. Like I said, I made my purchase decision because the SX700 was the latest model at that time and I really liked the touch-screen LCD functionality. For me, the SX700 was the best choice, if I had to choose between the S975 or SX700. I hope that helps.

Hello, Kabayan! Mabuhay ka! You may send a personal message via KZfaq by going to my Channel and choosing "About" on the homepage of the Channel. Yes, this PSR Yamaha would be a nice starting arranger keyboard. I was actually planning on creating a tutorial series for it but just could not find the time. Here's a tutorial of a worship song that you may want to try out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/psp4mchj17_Nf5s.html

Yes, I agree that there are more voices and styles on the SX900. The SX900 even has that chord looper function and the vocal harmonizer for a connected microphone. I did wished I had the funds to support the purchase of the SX900, but with what I have with my SX700 I am still very happy!

Thank you for checking out the video. I wanted to get the SX900 myself just for the chord looper function, but settled for the SX700 for the more affordable price.

​@@Danboarding oui biensure...mais le sx700 est tres bon...mais apres ,je pensais..est ce vraimen important le boucleur d'accords?? car vous avez bien des pistes pour enregistrer vos accords? non? donc si vous enregistrez votre partie accords...apres vous pouvez re enregistrer par dessus.?

@@divady9939 No, in my case I could do without the chord looper function. The accompaniment feature of the keyboard is enough for me, I find.

j'ai trouvé un Genos d'occasion a 1300 euro ...je suis blasé! ..il faut que je revende le psr

@@divady9939 Genos definitely a worthy upgrade, considering the price! Make sure to budget for some monitor speakers as well!

Hi there! Yes, they do sound very good. Along with the guitar voices, they are "Super Articulated", meaning the sound can be varied depending on how hard or soft the keys are played.

As of this writing, it is retailing for CAD2099.99, but I was fortunate because it was on sale for CAD1,679.99.

I love them all! I also own a Casio brand digital piano and have tried playing with a Korg. I do prefer Yamaha as I've gotten used to the layout of the controls.

Hello Kabayan! Yung pinakamalaking advantage ng SX700 dun sa S975 eh yung touch screen interface. Mas madaming styles and voices yung S975. Ang katumbas na bagong model nung S975 eh yung SX900, pero sobrang mahal kaya etong SX700 na lang ang kinuha ko (katumbas nito yung lumang S775). Pero yung touch screen talaga ang nagpursigi sa akin na bilin ito, kasi mas madali pumili ng options and items, kumpara sa S975 na kailangang mag-rely ka sa multiple button pressings para maka choose ng options.

@@Danboarding ah ok po, pero parehong arranger nba sila?

@@enciong9143 Yes, yung SX series, upgraded versions nung mga S series. I think almost the same arranger functions.

@@Danboarding salamat po, yan dn pinag pinagpipiliAn ko, saka yung korg PA100

@@enciong9143 Na try ko rin yung Korg Pa100. Medyo iba yung workflow ng pag set ng mga voices at rhythms. Eh dahil sanay ako sa layout ng Yamaha, nahirapan akong mag adapt dun sa Korg, kaya Yamaha na ang kinuha ko uli, Ewan ko ba, pero dun sa experience ko paggamit nung Korg, hindi ako masaya; parang mas smooth sa akin ang mga rhythm variations and fills ng Yamaha. Pero don't take my word for it; maganda masubukan mo pareho sa isang music store yung dalawang brand para makita mo kung ano ang mas gusto mo.

Hi there! I feel that this PSR-SX700 is better than the S775. The touch screen is very convenient! It sounds a bit better too, maybe because of the better speakers. To be honest, I think it is more on par with the S975, which I rented and tried out before buying this one. The S775/S975 are still great, especially the S975. If you can live without the touch screen feature, then they are really good alternatives if you can find one at a very low price. I've owned an S670 and I remember how it is a chore sometimes to work on it and wishing it had a touch screen. With my current SX700, I am very happy because it is much easier to navigate the interface and input text such as registration names. Hope that helps and thanks for checking out the video!

@@Danboarding thank you for responding bro 😁😁and giving detailed information

@@jebindaniel8652 No problem! Happy to be of help! Take care!

@@Danboarding I can believe you to buy Yamaha psr sx700?

Give your WhatsApp number bro

Oh, it's just a simple key of D progression. D-G, D-G etc.

@@Danboarding Oh, thank you.

Hi there. I might do a tutorial on how to use registrations and maybe recording. I am just making sure that I am doing the procedures correctly before filming them. Thanks for checking out the video!

@@Danboarding yes i would be very intrested in the sequencer, keep up the good work!

Thank you and hope you will continue posting videos because i am also trying to discover all the features of this Instrument. I also have same model.

I was able to get mine on sale from Amazon Canada for around $1700 Canadian.

Okay.

Thanks!

I think most of the digital keyboards are a tiny bit noisy. I noticed it with mine, especially when playing in low volumes, but I've become used to it. The touch screen works fine with me, though the small size of the screen can make choosing options a bit of a challenge at times. I was quite happy with the Yamaha during the time that I owned it.

Why was that not good for you? It works perfectly fine when i tried using an SX900. The only two gripes i have is that its small so it gives me a bit hard time to select icon type stuff that was too small, Then there is the angle of the LCD screen that is imperfect because i cant see the below end of the screen. UI is good but also they've used big pictures instead of the typical icons which makes it dreadful. There is no problem in the screen apart from these.

I was able to purchase this from Amazon Canada for Canadian 1600 dollars.
