You r lucky but not i m because i dont have it i only have e463 which is not good i our church they have sx700 so i go to church early and play that keyboard when no one is inside the church everytime i wait for sunday😭
@@jockimd7460 I started my career in casio man(which is small black 150 model). Stay in the presence of God. Everything comes to you at right time. God bless you my brother.
Thank u so much Jeremy. I've purchased SX900 just a few weeks ago. I used to have PSR S 750 for 6 years. This new SX900 is an absolute stunner. I used to play the keyboard as a kid, but gave it up in 1997 to pursue my higher studies and later, my medical career. But I never lost my love for music, so here I am, enjoying ur videos amd trying to make a comeback to what I've always loved; music ❤❤❤❤❤ Please keep up the good work. God bless u
Jeremy, can u please tell me how to turn the Touch sensitivity off in SX900? S 750 had a dedicated button, but this one doesn't. And it's kinda complicated for me 😉
Jeremy--Your vids and reviews are AWESOME! There is so much marketing hype out there it is really difficult to know what you're getting and your simple and concise "this compared to that" reviews has no doubt saved me thousands of dollars. Please, keep them coming and know how much your efforts are appreciated out here!
Hi Jeremy. Still loving my PSR-s775 that you helped me on. And online for free I've downloaded hundreds of additional styles and multi-pads to a USB stick. Works great. Not a professional performer I will be saving my pennies, eventually for the SX700 or comparable Yamaha. Again, Thanks.
I would encourage anyone considering one of these keyboards to look at a MODX. Even though they are synthesizers, they still have a lot of arranger features. The price is similar as well. It's the best of both worlds.
Great video Jeremy! I have been playing the 970 for 2 years in a double keyboard setup, and was considering the new SX900. But in reality, most of the 'benefits' of the 900 are non-existent for me as a 'live' performer. For instance-I would save the money and buy a TC Helicon Voice Processor if I want REALLY good quality Vocal Harmony (I use a Digitech Vocalist Live unit right now) and use a foot pedal. The VH on both my old PSR 3000 and the 970 was is really cheap sounding. When I am playing, I don't need to be pressing buttons, I want a floor mounted full unit, not one pedal. . My second board, a PA 600 from Korg, uses a touch screen, which is OK for performances, but I found the Yamaha one rather confusing, even though it is bigger. To be honest, during a live gig, my audiences wouldnt know the differences between a Mega or a Super Articulation voice. Thanks again for putting this (to me) overpriced product into a proper context. You just saved me 700 bucks, and my new Helicon unit will thank you too!!!
I'm a SX900 user and wanted to point out some other things that you might want to consider in deciding between SX900 & SX700: SX900 has all the new Revo sampled Pop, Rock, Jazz brush kits, the new EDMKit, TrapKit, 80sPopKit, 80sR&BKit and SchlagerKit kit along with other perc instruments and also several MegaVoices (for eg, the Genos like strumming guitar sound in styles) all derived from the Genos. (Bonus: Even Yamaha Tyros 5 doesn't have them.) Along with several other stuff, these are the main stuff missing on the SX700. It makes a huge difference in sound quality even to an average musician... reason why I spent an extra to get SX900, totally worth it if you're really into the details.
Having just bought the 900, I wish I had seen this video before. I might well have thought twice. However, my life experiences tell me to buy the best, because if I buy the lesser of the two, sooner or later I would want to upgrade. If I have the upgraded device already, there’s no need to be concerned about it.
Hi Jeremy, You make a lot of sense here. When I bought my S770 I was upgrading from an earlier S710. The were so many new and improved features (However,I wasn't impressed by the speakers) I chose this over the S970, and think I made a pretty good choice. However with the new SX series, I'm not only looking at the vocoder function, but also the additional power afforded by the more powerful speakers, the additional other features, including the expanded internal memory. More room for loading in more styles, etcetera. Thanks so much for talking to us frankly, sharing "The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly." God bless you my friend.
The memory of sx700 is a huge upgrade compared to the s770, so you will have plenty of memory if you choose this too. Also with the money that you will save in case you buy the sx700, you can buy a good professional pair of monitor speakers and then you will have much better sound than the sx900.
Very cool great info, great comparison. Still shopping for a keyboard looking forward to searching through your channel learning as much as I can. Thank you! 😎 😍 🎵
The sx 900 has much better effects and sound engine. It has 10 more drum kits than the sx700 which are the same as the Genos. Has a video output. Much better sounds. Vocal harmonizer
Hallo Jeremy.After not having a Keyboard for at least 30 years,(i had a Roland D-50),i suddenly had the urge/interest to buy a Keyboard again,so i went to a local Music store and a salesman showed me a few along with the PSR-SX700 and the PSR-SX900.I ended up buying the PSR-SX900 and i adore it.It has so many awesome Sounds/Voices and Styles as well as having tons of cool features.I,m giving it a BIG double thumbs up!. :-)
Awesome demo my friend you must be in your new apartment because there’s a lots of reverberation tomorrow the new update for the Genos which is 2.0 I will be doing an update video with my Genos tomorrow before I go to New Jersey Enjoy your new PSR-SX line
Jeremy See don’t worry my friend the video still good I got a lot of situations where I had to record my demos in a reverberation room which is hard but with the new SX line you always have the luxury to do everything through Keyboard so it’s so clear I do that with my Genos and I’m wearing headphones
Hi Jeremy! Just wanted to say thanks for making this video comparing the two. I currently am renting a Yamaha PSR-S975 (coming from a PSR-S670) just to get a feel for how the keyboard works and how the voices and styles are. I will be upgrading from the PSR-S670 and I was going to order the PSR-SX900 but thanks to this video I may have saved a lot of money by placing an order for the PSR-SX700 instead. I'll probably will use some of the money saved to get the other voices/styles missing in this model should I feel that I might need more. Thanks again!
Hello my name is Antonio like Antonio Banderas😜. I don't understand english. Can anyone traslate this important video comparation. Maybe I dont need 900, only 700...Thank you. ¡Gracias.
Wow this was helpful beyond what I could have asked for! I have seen a bunch of your videos Jeremy. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. Your students are lucky to have you!!!
I don't think it's worth the additional $700 especially since the other styles can be downloaded. I played the SX 700 for the first time yesterday. Its an amazing piece of instrument. I'll definitely buy that over the SX 900. This channel helps me when buying or advising persons to buy instruments.
This Video is the beast Jeremy. I amd thinking of upgrading I have a pse s770 and if i do ill just go with the sx700 I don;t need the extra bells and whistles at least i'll get more voices and styles and a touch screen and 3 voice layers vs the 2.🥰🥰😇😇
Finally I have decided to buy Yamaha PSR SX900 after I heard your review. Today the keyboard has been in my home, thanks very much Jeremy 🙏 your review is very useful and important, GBu 😇
Hi Jeremy, since I last spoke with you I've shown very serious disease symptoms. I'm recovering nicely now, and am still committed to getting the SX900 by Christmas. Whether you play for self, or others, the effect is still the difference. The new speakers and woofers make a lot of difference, while the vocorder likewise is very important. The improved keyboard, voicing, and internal memory address likewise give you a real edge. I've played for nearly 40 years now, and though the SX900 is expensive, the power of this keyboard is nothing to sneeze at. Importantly you'll kick yourself if you don't spend the money for the more expensive model.
On a strict cost benefit analysis, you are quite correct Jeremy (as usual), but it's not as simple as that. (By the way, I don't see either of these instruments as really being professional. For the pro, Korg offers much more for lower cost and the steeper learning curve is well-justified.) No, it's a case of the 'eye of the beholder'. For me, the difference in the speakers is significant as considering only the number of watts doesn't go far enough. The superbly engineered bi-amped sound system of the 900 is a major difference. Even for the home-user, the sound from the 700 may not be sufficiently fully-rounded, needing the addition (if affordable) of a pair of powered speakers. I've been astonished at the rich, full sound from the internal speakers of the 900 where nothing further is needed (from my perspective). On other differences you make very good points, and I know a large percentage of your followers have very limited budgets (for many of whom, even the 700 will be an un-atainable dream) so it's both a matter of what the user can afford, and what he/she will be happy with in the long term. This is why I stretched to the 900, and I see some of the comments reflect this thinking. A more significant cost benefit comparison comes if one compares the 900 with a Genos. The very significant price difference is much harder to justify. But for those for whom cost is no problem or can be justified on a long-term perspective, they find Genos is worth the money. However, even with the appearance of Genos 2, I suspect there are now potential Genos customers who will be very happy with a PSR-SX900 instead. (I'm looking forward to your proposed further videos on these keyboards.)
@@ThusithaThanthirige I mean if you are looking to buy a keyboard that will last for you for a long time. If you buy a low-cost Casio, for example, you might hope to replace it as soon as you can afford to. But with very expensive instruments like Genos (or even it's lower cost cousin, the SX900), you either buy it because you can easily afford it, or it may be that you can't really afford it but think it's worthwhile stretching to find the money because you expect you will not be wanting to replace it for a long time ─ it's a long-term investment.
@@bryangl1 Bryan, I read with interest your comment on the speaker system for the SX900. Jeremy mentioned it as a plus vs. the 700 and you seem to be very happy with the SX900 speakers. Frankly, IMO the sound coming from the onboard speakers on many arrangers is at best adequate and is sometimes poor. I know I can hook an arranger up to a high end set of studio monitors and probably get a very good sound but part of the value of having the arranger is to hopefully avoid having to do this to get a pleasing, encouraging sound. I have heard about the innovation in the design of the SX900 speakers and wondering what exactly you are hearing in terms of loudness and audio quality. As you might know, tSX900s are currently on back order across the USA and not available for direct audition. Your feedback would be appreciated.
My local music store finally got a Psr-sx700 in stock, after many months, and your videos convinced me to snap it up.. Jeremy you have one of the best music keyboard/piano channels on youtube.
In my opinion the differences of additional functions you get in the SX900 is not worth paying 80% more for this keyboard. If it had Aftertouch (like samey priced Korg PA1000), then maybe. Assuming that sound quality of identical voices is the same on model 700 and 900. Edit: Subjective audio quality is the evaluation of reproduced sound quality by ear. Yamaha technical data only distinct voices between SX 900 and Sx 700 by a different amount (quantity). But some reviewers report that Sx 900 uses better quality sound/voices than the Sx 700. Considering that the SX 900 has also better speakers, there must be a noticeable difference in sound quality which can be important to some users (like me). Furthermore Sx 700 is only compatible to Tyros 3 while Sx 900 is compatible to Tyros 5.
Coming from PSR S900 which I bought about 9 yrs ago, a few words for the potential buyers... The question you should ask yourself is - whether will you be singing along, or if someone would sing with you, like a one man band or a duo? That's is what will decide which one you choose. Working more than 90 hrs a week, even after almost a decade I still don't know and use some features that the arranger offers, even after performing professionally a few times... But the harmonizer just simply pays for itself if you are performing solo for a small group, or just starting out. No external connection to a vocal harmonizer, cables etc needed. A clean vocal, with lots of control over it, when you just don't have much idea of what is compression and EQ, and how perfectly the vocals sit in the mix. Just connect the mic to the keyboard and a very small learning curve. It has taken me all of last 10 yrs to be able to achieve the same level of mix in my daw after slowly buying a pre amp, a vocal processor, better mic.... (and more knowledge!) So simply put if you are starting and plan do sing, even as a hobby, go ahead and get the Sx900. You can create a full demo album with just it! If you don't sing, then just do yourself a favour and buy the SX700. (PS - I hardly use my S900 now as I use VSTs now and the Casio S300 keybed, just doesn't allow me to touch my S900)
Will be ordering Sx900 soon and I’m upgrading from Korg PA600 after 5 years of playing. Enjoyed the Korg but in need of more styles and better in built voices . Hope my decision is right
Thanks so much for your reviews.. Got my SX 900 delivered today.. sounds great, so many styles when compared to Korg and no choppy sound when changing variations...I liked the key bed and speakers in Korg better.. Yet to explore the SX900. Thanks again. Don’t know if it’s there already, missing the manual bass and tempo lock buttons in Korg.
Varun A Hi Varun!!! It totally depends on the amount of time you plan to spend with your keyboard to tweak things.. I switched from Yamaha psr340 to Korg pa600 and i really liked pa600 because of the Keybed actions, depth in tones, speaker clarity etc. I used to spend more time to tweak tones earlier and Korg was perfect for that. Now my priorities have changed and I don’t wanna spend too much time tweaking and want to use more styles therefore switched to Yamaha... You will find the below differences imo. 1. Korg will have more depth in tones but needs some working to make it sound sweet. 2. Styles will be limited and the transitions between variations will be lil choppy if not triggered on beat. But creating a new style is far easier. 3. You may miss the voices and styles buttons as it will be completely in touchscreen in Korg (pa600). But i liked it because the keyboard was pretty neat and non confusing. 4. I did not find too many user developed styles outside for Korg. But for Yamaha I literally have to spend lot of time deleting the ones I don’t like.. if you use styles a lot, pls stick with Yamaha. 5. Many said Korg would be difficult to use, but I never felt it.. it’s as easy as Yamaha but you just need to get used to it. If not for styles, I would have upgraded to Korg itself cos I liked the keybed and the natural crude sounding ..
Hey Jeremy, many thanks. I found this video to be quite helpful and informative as it helps to understand the difference between the two series. I personally am interested in the PSR-SX900.
Good report, Jeremy. Your reviews are useful for prospective keyboard buyers because they are thorough and honest, not marketing fluff. I imagine Yamaha has a love-hate relationship with you.
Apparently new keyboards are at a premium with Covind restrictions limiting production in Asia. Unfortunately I didnt find this out until I put my Yamaha S975 on Gumtree and was overwhelmed with inquiries. When I came to order the latest model SX900I was told there was a 2 or 3 months delay. But I did get a really good price on the 975 of AU$2000 when I paid 2440 a couple of years ago. With Cakewalk by Bandlab free to download the musician is in composer heaven! I was blown away by the latest model which has made a quantum leap, especially in sound quality, action and composer features. Here is one of many YT videos of a professional using it to compose from scratch. Its worth listening to the end with headphones for sound quality. "Composing a Song with the Yamaha PSR-SX900 Arranger Keyboard"
we know that both keyboards share some sounds. Based on that fact, are the sounds they share the same? Or do they sound better on the psrsx900 than on the sx700? Is there a difference in Output of both keyboards Output of both keyboards even though some sounds are the same? . Thanks.
SX700 and SX900 repeats the same trait Yamaha used to do on the PSR-3000 and PSR-1500 back in 2004 where the differences on the voice and styles are very large to the point it sounded completely different. in other S-series models like S970/S770, S950/S750 and S910/S710, the difference is usually minimal.
Man this was helpful. There are still things i wanna know if either the 700 or 900 can do, particularly regarding tracks and sequencing. Do you have a video on that? I'll take a look.
Well advice first i got the SX 900 after checking it out it was too much data 70% of it I have no clue what to use it for so I went back and exchanged to SX 700
I could say that SX700 is stripped down too much for the voices. None of the new Genos / Tyros 5 voices are featured in the SX700 - only recycled from the older models. In facts, PSR-SX700's voices are _exactly the same_ as the old PSR-S970. This is unlike the PSR-S970 and S770 or any older models, where the difference between two models are very minimal. S970 has only 159 more sounds than the S770, while SX900 has 351 more sounds than the SX700
Thanks, Jeremy, for this video, my doubts about SX 700 & 900 are cleared. I'm very much confused earlier which one to be purchased. As, I`m a youtuber & mostly I posted piano cover videos on RUclips. So, I`m about to purchase sx series but not able to take decision which one to be opt for? So, may I ask you what would be your suggestion to me, which one should I purchase 700 or 900? Please recommend me! Thank you. 🙂 and this chord looper is any important functionality or not?
Sorry for the confusion. Here's the translation: "Sorry, does the SX900's chord loop function allow each style to use the same set of chord loops, or can each style use multiple stored chord loops?"
Quite a lot of advantages on the SX900: # 50W speakers # Chord looper # 4gb Internal Memory, 1gb expansion memory # Vocal harmony # Sub Aux output # Double USB # Bluetooth # 125 more styles, 100 more multi-pads # Display out
Missing this, Tyros 5 level of DSP on SX900 , lot of people told me that the SX700 is not at the same level of SX900 because SX900 has the features of Tyros 5 except the S.Art2 voices, and percussion sampled from the Genos. SX700 lack of it so it makes a huge different comparing to SX900.
Dear Jermy, I hve plan it to buy Sx 900 after seen your comments i hav echanged my Mind to Sx 700. since Home use No point to go Sx 900.only few differences It was not Much Effective.Kindly do the comparision with SX 700 & KORG PA 600 as well.
Great presentation, ... I like how you are personable & "End-users" / practicality oriented, versus "buy the latest model, because it's latest" orientation, i.e. "power to the people", + "let the most 'approptiate' product" (and budget wise choice features to price / to realistic need) Win. (Awkward writing on my part, but ... overall, "commending" you.)
Finally ordered my SX900. Upgrading from my Yamaha E413 after 10 years! Will be delivered in the next 5 days. Can't wait...
Congrats!
@@JeremySee Thanks! ✌️
I guess you love it? 😀
I also have a PSR E413 bought in 2010. I am willing to buy the SX900
Update: It got bricked after 4 months of use. Not booting up, stuck at logo screen. 🤦♂️
Finally, there is a good comparison between SX900 and SX700 👍🏼

I'm happy you got a great board. In many less affluent places, the $700 USD may be 2 months salary. We need to be sensitive to that.
Hi Jeremy, You make a lot of sense here. When I bought my S770 I was upgrading from an earlier S710.

The memory of sx700 is a huge upgrade compared to the s770, so you will have plenty of memory if you choose this too.
Also with the money that you will save in case you buy the sx700, you can buy a good professional pair of monitor speakers and then you will have much better sound than the sx900.

An empty room is bad for making videos. 😥 The reverberation is bad... I'll be looking forward to your Genos update report buddy.

Hi Jeremy! Just wanted to say thanks for making this video comparing the two. I currently am renting a Yamaha PSR-S975 (coming from a PSR-S670) just to get a feel for how the keyboard works and how the voices and styles are. I will be upgrading from the PSR-S670 and I was going to order the PSR-SX900 but thanks to this video I may have saved a lot of money by placing an order for the PSR-SX700 instead. I'll probably will use some of the money saved to get the other voices/styles missing in this model should I feel that I might need more. Thanks again!
Hello my name is Antonio like Antonio Banderas😜. I don't understand english. Can anyone traslate this important video comparation. Maybe I dont need 900, only 700...Thank you. ¡Gracias.
Jeremy can you traslate to spanish. I don't understand the differents 700/900. Thank you! Gracias.
A
Sx 900 or 700 better ??
Wow this was helpful beyond what I could have asked for! I have seen a bunch of your videos Jeremy. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. Your students are lucky to have you!!!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your kind compliments.
I don't think it's worth the additional $700 especially since the other styles can be downloaded. I played the SX 700 for the first time yesterday. Its an amazing piece of instrument. I'll definitely buy that over the SX 900.
This channel helps me when buying or advising persons to buy instruments.
I like sx700
Thank you so much Jeremy! Was really useful information!✌️👍
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Jeremy! Great info
Thx a lot for this video! You really helped me with my decision!
Thanks for video sharing 🙏👍🏼🙏
This Video is the beast Jeremy. I amd thinking of upgrading I have a pse s770 and if i do ill just go with the sx700 I don;t need the extra bells and whistles at least i'll get more voices and styles and a touch screen and 3 voice layers vs the 2.🥰🥰😇😇
Thx for the Video. I came to the same Conclusion!
Finally I have decided to buy Yamaha PSR SX900 after I heard your review. Today the keyboard has been in my home, thanks very much Jeremy 🙏 your review is very useful and important, GBu 😇
Have fun Veronika! Happy belated birthday. 😊
Thanks for the wishes 🙏🌹
Great video explanations. Yoi are doing a great job brother
Best regards from sydney australia
Thanks buddy.
The chord looper and the vocal harmony is enough to make me want the sx900. But that's me....
Me Too
@@ThusithaThanthirige Got a good deal part exchanging my PSR-S670. Ordering tomorrow.
Amazing! Thank you so much!
Hi Jeremy, since I last spoke with you I've shown very serious disease symptoms. I'm recovering nicely now, and am still committed to getting the SX900 by Christmas. Whether you play for self, or others, the effect is still the difference. The new speakers and woofers make a lot of difference, while the vocorder likewise is very important. The improved keyboard, voicing, and internal memory address likewise give you a real edge. I've played for nearly 40 years now, and though the SX900 is expensive, the power of this keyboard is nothing to sneeze at. Importantly you'll kick yourself if you don't spend the money for the more expensive model.
Sir have u got the sx900.im much confused between 700 and 900.hope ur health is fine.
On a strict cost benefit analysis, you are quite correct Jeremy (as usual), but it's not as simple as that. (By the way, I don't see either of these instruments as really being professional. For the pro, Korg offers much more for lower cost and the steeper learning curve is well-justified.) No, it's a case of the 'eye of the beholder'. For me, the difference in the speakers is significant as considering only the number of watts doesn't go far enough. The superbly engineered bi-amped sound system of the 900 is a major difference. Even for the home-user, the sound from the 700 may not be sufficiently fully-rounded, needing the addition (if affordable) of a pair of powered speakers. I've been astonished at the rich, full sound from the internal speakers of the 900 where nothing further is needed (from my perspective). On other differences you make very good points, and I know a large percentage of your followers have very limited budgets (for many of whom, even the 700 will be an un-atainable dream) so it's both a matter of what the user can afford, and what he/she will be happy with in the long term. This is why I stretched to the 900, and I see some of the comments reflect this thinking. A more significant cost benefit comparison comes if one compares the 900 with a Genos. The very significant price difference is much harder to justify. But for those for whom cost is no problem or can be justified on a long-term perspective, they find Genos is worth the money. However, even with the appearance of Genos 2, I suspect there are now potential Genos customers who will be very happy with a PSR-SX900 instead. (I'm looking forward to your proposed further videos on these keyboards.)
Great thoughts buddy. Thanks for sharing your insight. Have a good one.
Great
What You Mean ? long-term perspective, Genos Than X900? Pls Tel Us?
@@ThusithaThanthirige I mean if you are looking to buy a keyboard that will last for you for a long time. If you buy a low-cost Casio, for example, you might hope to replace it as soon as you can afford to. But with very expensive instruments like Genos (or even it's lower cost cousin, the SX900), you either buy it because you can easily afford it, or it may be that you can't really afford it but think it's worthwhile stretching to find the money because you expect you will not be wanting to replace it for a long time ─ it's a long-term investment.
@@bryangl1 Bryan, I read with interest your comment on the speaker system for the SX900. Jeremy mentioned it as a plus vs. the 700 and you seem to be very happy with the SX900 speakers. Frankly, IMO the sound coming from the onboard speakers on many arrangers is at best adequate and is sometimes poor. I know I can hook an arranger up to a high end set of studio monitors and probably get a very good sound but part of the value of having the arranger is to hopefully avoid having to do this to get a pleasing, encouraging sound. I have heard about the innovation in the design of the SX900 speakers and wondering what exactly you are hearing in terms of loudness and audio quality. As you might know, tSX900s are currently on back order across the USA and not available for direct audition. Your feedback would be appreciated.
Thank you, Jeremy.
After using E463 for only 2 months,,, I upgraded to SX700
My local music store finally got a Psr-sx700 in stock, after many months, and your videos convinced me to snap it up.. Jeremy you have one of the best music keyboard/piano channels on youtube.
Superb choice. Have fun!
In my opinion the differences of additional functions you get in the SX900 is not worth paying 80% more for this keyboard. If it had Aftertouch (like samey priced Korg PA1000), then maybe. Assuming that sound quality of identical voices is the same on model 700 and 900.
Edit: Subjective audio quality is the evaluation of reproduced sound quality by ear. Yamaha technical data only distinct voices between SX 900 and Sx 700 by a different amount (quantity). But some reviewers report that Sx 900 uses better quality sound/voices than the Sx 700. Considering that the SX 900 has also better speakers, there must be a noticeable difference in sound quality which can be important to some users (like me). Furthermore Sx 700 is only compatible to Tyros 3 while Sx 900 is compatible to Tyros 5.
Jeremy, please confirm if the last statement is true: i.e. SX700=Tyros3?
And is SC-900 =Tyros5?
Super Articulation voices. Are these downloadable too?
Fantastic guidance. Thanks
That's all I needed! You nailed it, Jeremy!
Coming from PSR S900 which I bought about 9 yrs ago, a few words for the potential buyers...
The question you should ask yourself is - whether will you be singing along, or if someone would sing with you, like a one man band or a duo? That's is what will decide which one you choose.
Working more than 90 hrs a week, even after almost a decade I still don't know and use some features that the arranger offers, even after performing professionally a few times... But the harmonizer just simply pays for itself if you are performing solo for a small group, or just starting out. No external connection to a vocal harmonizer, cables etc needed. A clean vocal, with lots of control over it, when you just don't have much idea of what is compression and EQ, and how perfectly the vocals sit in the mix. Just connect the mic to the keyboard and a very small learning curve. It has taken me all of last 10 yrs to be able to achieve the same level of mix in my daw after slowly buying a pre amp, a vocal processor, better mic.... (and more knowledge!)
So simply put if you are starting and plan do sing, even as a hobby, go ahead and get the Sx900. You can create a full demo album with just it!
If you don't sing, then just do yourself a favour and buy the SX700.
(PS - I hardly use my S900 now as I use VSTs now and the Casio S300 keybed, just doesn't allow me to touch my S900)
That's a great info.thanks brother
Will be ordering Sx900 soon and I’m upgrading from Korg PA600 after 5 years of playing. Enjoyed the Korg but in need of more styles and better in built voices . Hope my decision is right
Thanks so much for your reviews.. Got my SX 900 delivered today.. sounds great, so many styles when compared to Korg and no choppy sound when changing variations...I liked the key bed and speakers in Korg better.. Yet to explore the SX900. Thanks again. Don’t know if it’s there already, missing the manual bass and tempo lock buttons in Korg.
Varun A Hi Varun!!! It totally depends on the amount of time you plan to spend with your keyboard to tweak things.. I switched from Yamaha psr340 to Korg pa600 and i really liked pa600 because of the Keybed actions, depth in tones, speaker clarity etc. I used to spend more time to tweak tones earlier and Korg was perfect for that. Now my priorities have changed and I don’t wanna spend too much time tweaking and want to use more styles therefore switched to Yamaha... You will find the below differences imo.
1. Korg will have more depth in tones but needs some working to make it sound sweet.
2. Styles will be limited and the transitions between variations will be lil choppy if not triggered on beat. But creating a new style is far easier.
3. You may miss the voices and styles buttons as it will be completely in touchscreen in Korg (pa600). But i liked it because the keyboard was pretty neat and non confusing.
4. I did not find too many user developed styles outside for Korg. But for Yamaha I literally have to spend lot of time deleting the ones I don’t like.. if you use styles a lot, pls stick with Yamaha.
5. Many said Korg would be difficult to use, but I never felt it.. it’s as easy as Yamaha but you just need to get used to it.
If not for styles, I would have upgraded to Korg itself cos I liked the keybed and the natural crude sounding ..
Thanks a ton!
I'm waiting so long to get this keyboard but still I couldn't hope I'll be having with me soon
Hey Jeremy, many thanks. I found this video to be quite helpful and informative as it helps to understand the difference between the two series. I personally am interested in the PSR-SX900.
Thanks for at very good video!
Good report, Jeremy. Your reviews are useful for prospective keyboard buyers because they are thorough and honest, not marketing fluff. I imagine Yamaha has a love-hate relationship with you.
Apparently new keyboards are at a premium with Covind restrictions limiting production in Asia. Unfortunately I didnt find this out until I put my Yamaha S975 on Gumtree and was overwhelmed with inquiries. When I came to order the latest model SX900I was told there was a 2 or 3 months delay. But I did get a really good price on the 975 of AU$2000 when I paid 2440 a couple of years ago.
With Cakewalk by Bandlab free to download the musician is in composer heaven!
I was blown away by the latest model which has made a quantum leap, especially in sound quality, action and composer features. Here is one of many YT videos of a professional using it to compose from scratch. Its worth listening to the end with headphones for sound quality.
"Composing a Song with the Yamaha PSR-SX900 Arranger Keyboard"
we know that both keyboards share some sounds. Based on that fact, are the sounds they share the same? Or do they sound better on the psrsx900 than on the sx700? Is there a difference in Output of both keyboards Output of both keyboards even though some sounds are the same? . Thanks.
I also have a request video. Can you do a video of the psr s770 vs the sx700 and talk about the sound quality and features etc,
excellent explanation
Yamaha should use OLED screens instead of TFT for future models.
You are exactly right Jeremey just save your money thanks for the advice.Its another new vehicle Yamaha build for the money .i still enjoy my Tyro 4.
Thanks for sharing buddy. I love my Tyros. 😉
SX700 and SX900 repeats the same trait Yamaha used to do on the PSR-3000 and PSR-1500 back in 2004 where the differences on the voice and styles are very large to the point it sounded completely different. in other S-series models like S970/S770, S950/S750 and S910/S710, the difference is usually minimal.
Thank you bro for the awesome review bro. Definately sx700 is for me...🤗
Man this was helpful. There are still things i wanna know if either the 700 or 900 can do, particularly regarding tracks and sequencing. Do you have a video on that? I'll take a look.
Well advice first i got the SX 900 after checking it out it was too much data 70% of it I have no clue what to use it for so I went back and exchanged to SX 700
I think, this will be my point too. Therefore I will buy the 700 and save the money.
it was a mistake
@@Iceman2504 you can also drive a Mercedes E-class instead of an S-class ... save money too.
I could say that SX700 is stripped down too much for the voices. None of the new Genos / Tyros 5 voices are featured in the SX700 - only recycled from the older models. In facts, PSR-SX700's voices are _exactly the same_ as the old PSR-S970.
This is unlike the PSR-S970 and S770 or any older models, where the difference between two models are very minimal. S970 has only 159 more sounds than the S770, while SX900 has 351 more sounds than the SX700
exactly .SX 700 is same as psr s775
No, SX700 have S975/S970 sounds
The SX600 is the one that shares the same set as S775 / S770 / S950
HI Jeremy from the island Puerto Rico.
Thanks .thinking about it
Thanks, Jeremy, for this video, my doubts about SX 700 & 900 are cleared. I'm very much confused earlier which one to be purchased. As, I`m a youtuber & mostly I posted piano cover videos on RUclips. So, I`m about to purchase sx series but not able to take decision which one to be opt for? So, may I ask you what would be your suggestion to me, which one should I purchase 700 or 900? Please recommend me! Thank you. 🙂 and this chord looper is any important functionality or not?
The Yamaha keyboards are superb and I totally agree the SX700 would be ideal for home use.
Sorry for the confusion. Here's the translation:
"Sorry, does the SX900's chord loop function allow each style to use the same set of chord loops, or can each style use multiple stored chord loops?"
Thank you so much Jeremy for the clear comparison!
Really like ur videos bro
Lov your vids
Thank you. You video is the best. ❣👍
So nice of you
Quite a lot of advantages on the SX900:
# 50W speakers
# Chord looper
# 4gb Internal Memory, 1gb expansion memory
# Vocal harmony
# Sub Aux output
# Double USB
# Bluetooth
# 125 more styles, 100 more multi-pads
# Display out
Missing this, Tyros 5 level of DSP on SX900 , lot of people told me that the SX700 is not at the same level of SX900 because SX900 has the features of Tyros 5 except the S.Art2 voices, and percussion sampled from the Genos. SX700 lack of it so it makes a huge different comparing to SX900.
Thanks Jeremy
How much
Dear Jermy, I hve plan it to buy Sx 900 after seen your comments i hav echanged my Mind to Sx 700. since Home use No point to go Sx 900.only few differences It was not Much Effective.Kindly do the comparision with SX 700 & KORG PA 600 as well.
Great presentation, ... I like how you are personable & "End-users" / practicality oriented, versus "buy the latest model, because it's latest" orientation, i.e. "power to the people", + "let the most 'approptiate' product" (and budget wise choice features to price / to realistic need) Win.
(Awkward writing on my part, but ... overall, "commending" you.)
Thank you for your kind compliments. 😍
Jeremy is very clear and detailed your explanation.Thank You very much
