I’m evaluating purchasing the PSR-S900 to replace my aging PSR-2000. I have noticed some distortion when playing the PSR-S900 and was hoping someone one that uses this forum with a PSR-S900 could try something for me. I don’t know if this distortion is inherit to all PSR-S900 or just the one I am considering purchasing. The music store I am purchasing this from only has one in stock so I have nothing to compare it too. My current PSR2000 has no distortion at all making the same adjustments even maxing out the total gain. I have also tried all the suggestions in the back of the PSR-S900 manual
for voices distorting that is how I found that the “total gain adjustment” was causing this problem.

To reproduce the distortion using the Live! Grand Piano or JazzChorus sound, turn off all the effects, turn the “total gain adjustment” up over the half way point and see if you start to hear distortion. If you bring down the total gain below the half way point the distortion starts to disappear. If you use headphone it’s easier to hear. To change the total gain adjustment on the PRS-S900 do the following.
1. Select mixing console, eq tab then edit. Then total gain adjustment.

I appreciated the help on this. I don’t want to purchase this keyboard until I know all PSR-S900 have this same issue when the total gain is moved above the half way point.

-Likes so far over the PS2000
Organ and Guitar voices.
Styles
No more floppy swapping.

- Dislikes so far over the PSR2000
Grand Piano voice. I don’t hear much difference over the PSR2000 after playing them side-by-side
I like the control layout of the PSR2000 better. It was more compact.
Cable inputs on the S900 are way under the back side. It’s hard to see what you are plugging into where.
