This new S-900 has sparked my interest. Yes, yes, I know "Squeak's a Roland guy". One of the first things that stood out to me in the pic was "no more cheap plastic painted buttons". I also think the overall design is pretty sharp compared to the PSR-3000.
When the S-900/700 are released, I'll make my decision as to which one I will buy--I will say the S-900 having some SA voices puts it in the lead for me.
Everyone here knows I do a lot of hip hop and so forth, but I also do orchestral/classical (roots were actually in classical music), and I also enjoy film score, and other traditional styles... I have always felt Yamaha has had very strong orchestral voices and like them very much.
Regardless of which S model I buy it won't be used for anything modern... I'll use it strictly for traditional styles (which is what the PSR's are best for anyways).
Squeak, believe me mate you will be happy with the S900 for hip hop purposes. i am probably the youngest guy on this forum and i love all the new stuff of today. i personally chose Yamaha over my old technics and all the rolands purely because i feel it offers much more for modern dance / trance and R&B music.
being a tweak freak like yourself (no offense please), you will really be able to make some awesome beats out of it. the dance kit is very punchy.
Using the voice editor software u can even edit the parameters of the drum kit to make them even punchier etc.
ACTUALLY heres a good one - will an S900 have Voice Editor software???
