I recently was given my dad's psr750 when he died and I didn't realise just how good it is considering I'm a synth man. He loved that keyboard and i will never let it go.
Hey Woody, Yamaha should be glad to have you representing this keyboard. You hit a sweet spot of instruction that can inspire prospective buyers. Most demo guys want to do a "Jordan Rudess" style wow performance. While that sounds great, your instruction has a way of making the keyboard accessible to a wide range of playing ability. Well done. Cheers, Cliff
i bought my sx 700 a year ago... and your videos for the sx 900 are really helpful in getting to grips with my keyboard. thanks for all you do. and your library of useful videos
This keyboard is a composers dream machine, i wish i can get my hands on one of these in the future, great features, great sound, very beautiful and very pro looking! Nice video too!
Thanks Woody. Great video as usual. My immediate reaction is that you are focused more on taking the bare bones of a style and then extending and decorating it rather than using its full version to accompany a separate and fixed right hand melody as arrangers have traditionally been used. I think this is an interesting direction.
that's about it Jon, I'm interested to discover how it works when the chord detection is on full keyboard mode, so I can play normally and have the keyboard fill in with some bass and rhythm.
when often what they represent is alot of the best of what the manufacturer generally has to offer in one package and you dont have to use everything, but its always good to have it there, they offer huge flexibility, they generally have the best value in terms of keybed etc too in the price bracket, :) (i've freelance style created/programmed for yamaha in the dim and distant past but theres no bias here lol )
@@winddealer1 completely agree buddy, tho i will just say tyros 4 is nowhere near that age (half) :) even the original tyros (1) isnt even quite 20yrs old yet, tyros 2 just came out of prototype stages in early 2005 etc etc bud, another thing to add is if you say have a tyros 2 (first to have super articulation, went to usb etc) hardly any owner and i mean maybe 2 or 3% have ever gotten near the full capabilities of the machine, to the uninitiated i can understand workflow can be daunting/slow but this truelly is a digital workstation and altho not the most user friendly, the sequencer is phenominal and if you piece together your own tracks from scratch there is no reason to critise preset accompnaments which are always going to be a compromise to a large extent, but put there purely as a convenient way to allow someone to sit at it and instantly make nice music. obviously Daws and plug ins,vst's give infinate possibility, and a midi controller and an interface dont need to cost much atall, but (A) its not an all in one unit (instrument) you can take anywhere to either perform live of play as part of a band in a pro studio (B) you are buying an actual instrument not just components that together make one, if you buy a controller and an interface and use a good spec computer (so now you have massive operating power and an all in one instrument obv compromised on that too) just for that purpose your near the cost of sx 900 even if a cheaper computer and thats before you buy any software whatsoever, so suddenly a £500 2nd hand tyros 2 is looking like a bargain (and you can also easilly sell a keyboard if your suddenly broke, or want to change/upgrade), also computers depreciate like a sinking stone and good luck getting anything back on a couple grand worth collection of software built up overtime lol), ive went on way too long as it is lol, guess im just trying to say its unfare to compare the two really as they are incomparable, but never underestimate the capabilities of these units like many do as they really have no idea what they are capable of in the right hands, and thats what it really comes down to regardless which you buy :)

Hey woody your videos are always informative. I love that you give your full knowledge in u r video. I m looking forward that how can create our own style in this Yamaha psr arrenger.
Hi Woody, I love your videos and so I subscribed. I have learned so much from you since I have bought my new sx900 just 6vweeks ago. You don't like generic very much and I understand that since you're are such an accomplished musician. But for all of us out there (including me) novices in music and keyboards générique is good! Got to start somewhere! Thank you for all your help, in my twilight years I'm having so much fun☺️.
Well done....😊 takes allot for manufacturers to make an informatively video on keyboard appliances Acca PSR SX 900 love your vids.... praps you should make a salary income to Yamaha ! For there lack of inform....which Woody ‘ you are providing, & as a SX 900 owner... I really appreciate your input... lots of input you give ..to the low vid input that comes from Yamaha. Just love the the Synth sounds you make & play,with appegio.. so cool’ Pls keep it up with. Yam. SX 900👍 please
Hi, i'm thinking about getting this Yamaha, but i am very much interested in knowing about the setup you have, & what amp and studio monitors you are using, and how to set it up, as that is key for a great sounding system.
The Yamaha Clavinova Cvp107 also does that slap bass kind of sound too when you turn that accomp on. And that thing is from 1999 already. I guess Yamaha really loves that stuff😅 ps it is a lot more noticable on the cvp 105-109 series than on the psr
Hi woody - got my new yamaha sx700 and got something close to this - the style (90s dance pop) doesn't feature on the sx700 is there anyway of getting the style - thanks for the tutorial
Hi thanks for the lovely videos, just want to ask something i got this keyboard but i am noticing a slight warm touch near the master volume side, also the warm part is in the area where the pendrive slots are , is this normal i also updated to the latest firmware
I think you can begin to see the power of arrangers when you program for your own compositions. The built in styles are not good, and the sounds always need editing to fit perfectly with the song you are composing. Programing your own style from a blank (initiated) is the most powerful avenue to song creation. Before programming arrangers I was using baselines on sequencers but had to have progressions built in, destroying the improv fun and enormous creative flow. Now the baselines and any other tracks I build accompany the chord changes, chords can be programmed into the pattern and/or play on the keyboard. So now the arranger is the centerpiece of my 100% hardware synth rig, it feeds clock to two other groove boxes and a sampler so I can add layers of percussion and other sequencers over the centerpiece arranger. My rig includes many subtractive synths, a sampler, and a FM synth; sound design is not limited to the centerpiece arranger. I now compose 100% hardware to a hardware 24 track recorder, using a half dozen foot-pedals and perfectly programmed sequences I can freeform a song on the fly. Composing like Vangelis all parts to many tracks all in one take, then mixdown to stereo for the finished song. (NOTE: my arranger of choice today is the Casio MZX500, but the sounds are not good and it runs out of memory for building styles to quickly...maybe a SX700 in my future). Do you think the SX900 is worth the extra $700 since I don't use any the preset styles or bluetooth, or recording options?
25:00 Modern Talking - You Can Win If You Want :) 3rd intro and 3rd ending in Yamaha's styles have melodic parts that reveal the song that the style creator got inspired from.Just listen to the notes that the piano channel is playing. Of course it can be used for other Modern Talking and 80's songs. This kind of European 80's disco pop orchestration now is called "Italodiso" in arranger keyboards...."world"(styles). ruclips.net/video/oxM8Kf5SeiA/видео.html
Great song. Great serie about this PSR. The melody and the sound on right hand (the first song you play) reminds me The Midnight ( Do you know this band ?)
Two questions - - (1) Does this keyboard come with a comprehensive PAPER manual? (2) Would this type of instrument be suitable for someone who can pick out single note melodies with the right hand, and do simple chords or triads with the left, and then have hours (or years) of fun just experimenting and using the machine to make up for lack of talent?
All of my other Yamaha keyboards had such manuals so I don't think this should be any different. If you're pretty good at being able to pick out notes with your right hand, or do like I do with reading fake sheets, thus should be an ideal machine for you. Yamaha has a lot of built in helps in the PSR Sxxx series to help the budding to the most advanced musician and Woody is very good about corresponding with us to help us get the most out of these wonderful medicines.
2) yes it does come with a comprehensive manual, 2) perfect for someone with those skills, but unfortunately the performance will sound poor in lack of talent situations :)
Hi Woody, I am the proud owner of a SX900!! so I am of course revisiting your excellent tutorials. Can you tell me which camera you use to show the display in closeup?
Trying to replicate the synth sound for the Black Keys' Gold on the Cieling. I have a Yamaha Montage 88 key but can't seem to replicate that strange overdriven-bass-like sound for Gold on the Cieling. Thoughts? Thx.
You keep showing tempting features that my Tyros doesn’t have, first the chord looper and now the real time filters and arpeggios. It’s looking quite attractive!
Hey Woody, I just got myself the SX900 and would like to know if the Genos Playlist can be copied into the sx900. I also have the Tyros 5 and love your videos! They are informative and entertaining ☺️
Hi Woody, I've been having some trouble when recording in midi of getting the chords to show up when I jump into the score screen. Got any idea what I may not have set? Thanks.
Excellent explanations Woody! Those features are making a lot more sense to this beginner now LOL Maybe you could put together a course called "Arranger Inspiration Series"?? ;o)
Hi! I have a Yamaha PSR-SX900. Why doesn't my sustain pedal automatically sustain? Is there a way to make it as a default? I expected it to work like a piano sustain pedal but it isn't. Please help. :)
Watching for second time, lovely stuff. I am getting close to renting an SX900, with possible purchase in mind, highly influenced by your fine videos. Did you keep the SX900? Hope you are all well BTW.
@@WoodyPianoShack thanks for the advice i think i'll buy the modx the new update bring the pattern sequencer back. But i see you play the sx900 and is sound so amazing.
Modern Talking Disco style has already been in yamahamusicsoft for years and they just renewed it and renamed it.. And ppl here say the style remind them Modern Talking.. -_-
Woody, do you know if I can copy sounds from sample libraries and use them in this keyboard? .. I know that you can use YEM to create your own voices from the samples found in this keyboard but can you also create your own voices from the samples found in libraries?
uhm i hope it was leaned to you because paying 2300,- for a keyboard where u can have an modx8 with pianokeybed for 1500,- or a prophet rev2 or a korg prologue etc and still money left for a proper pda system... no brainer for me...
yeah a loaner, which I'm grateful for, these have always been pricey instruments, don't really know why. great deals for second hand tyros models though, if you want to save big!
Woody can we still adjust the volume of each part by turning the main wheel to the right of screen once we click the voice on mixer mode or adjustment of volume is only trough the screen? cause I see they removed the up and down switches under the screen, and they are pretty handy on my 950.. I just bought a xs900 waiting for the thing to arrive but in america it's delayed. :p 24:10 should be ruclips.net/video/4kHl4FoK1Ys/видео.html
@@WoodyPianoShack that's my only fear.. I hope not too bad.. have been waiting for something better but really feel unecessary to remove the lower switches.
Does a keyboard exist where the pre-recorded beats actually sound good? Even on this keyboard which isn't cheap, the pre-recorded beats/melodies sound like they're from a toy and not something off a song you'd normally hear. I'm not sure if it's the arrangement of the beats/melodies or simply the samples/sounds used or a bit of both but the songs have that "it came with my keyboard" type of sound and therefore sounds toyish and cringy rather than like a real sound.
I owned a PSR320 in the 90's and on the arrangement just like that I'd bring in or leave out parts from the drum and accompaniment instruments. Please do check out my soundcloud account and my tracks called Quadra 1 - 4 Listen to Quadra by JON.G:/BUN on #SoundCloud soundcloud.com/jonathan-goodbun/sets/quadra Really like what these new Yamaha's can do, not to be baffled by all the setting just get stuck in and experiment with the sounds....

24:30 It sounds like EVERY Modern Talking/Dieter Bohlen song.
Modern Talking is a Synth Pop Duo, clearly the style is inpsired by something like that yes.
Please try to see if you can quantize the multipads youve recorded
ask the guys on psrtutorial
@@WoodyPianoShack well i read the online pdf, and it is not possible. Just realtime recording. Bummer.
Careful when watering the pot plants you don't pour water onto your PSR SX900 or the loud speakers. Just a suggestion.
uhm i hope it was leaned to you because paying 2300,- for a keyboard where u can have an modx8 with pianokeybed for 1500,- or a prophet rev2 or a korg prologue etc and still money left for a proper pda system... no brainer for me...
yeah a loaner, which I'm grateful for, these have always been pricey instruments, don't really know why. great deals for second hand tyros models though, if you want to save big!
90s dance pop sounds like a song by Cher
Has it got all the Queen styles that the SX700 has? and could you program your own style and variations in your DAW and assign them to this arranger?
i don't know about any queen styles, there are some but I will never use them. you program your own styles in the arranger, not in the daw
Woody can we still adjust the volume of each part by turning the main wheel to the right of screen once we click the voice on mixer mode or adjustment of volume is only trough the screen? cause I see they removed the up and down switches under the screen, and they are pretty handy on my 950.. I just bought a xs900 waiting for the thing to arrive but in america it's delayed. :p 24:10 should be

yes that's still possible, just a little bit fiddly to target the voice on the touch screen
@@WoodyPianoShack that's my only fear.. I hope not too bad.. have been waiting for something better but really feel unecessary to remove the lower switches.
Are you going to buy it?
i don't need to yet, I can still borrow!
Does a keyboard exist where the pre-recorded beats actually sound good? Even on this keyboard which isn't cheap, the pre-recorded beats/melodies sound like they're from a toy and not something off a song you'd normally hear. I'm not sure if it's the arrangement of the beats/melodies or simply the samples/sounds used or a bit of both but the songs have that "it came with my keyboard" type of sound and therefore sounds toyish and cringy rather than like a real sound.
I owned a PSR320 in the 90's and on the arrangement just like that I'd bring in or leave out parts from the drum and accompaniment instruments.

Really like what these new Yamaha's can do, not to be baffled by all the setting just get stuck in and experiment with the sounds.... Great video Woody!
