Greetings;
these are all my videos which I made with my PSR-S670 so far. The PSR-S670 was released after I had bought PSR-S950 but I noticed that for its price it was quite a capable instrument.
I bought SX900 after that, and then, some time later, I left my country for reasons that you can guess, since the country was Russia. Well, probably you all know it already, I just feel like telling a story.
I moved to a neighboring Kazakhstan, which in fact mostly feels and sounds like Russia, as it shares its Soviet history. I lasted with my "Korg Microkeys" for two weeks, while I was settling in, and felt strongly that I needed something more fundamental, checked the ads, and there was PSR-S670 for a good price, I contacted the seller, took a taxi, and I must say that with PSR in my apartment I instantly felt more like at home.
Some time later I moved again, that time to Kyrgyzstan, it is neighboring to Kazakhstan, but not to Russia, as I discovered that it had better policy for foreigners (in terms of time you can stay here); turns out you can easily send things as big as keyboards between these countries; so I could've sent by SX900 here, but it is in fact too expensive, too heavy and I had thrown away the box; S670 is considerably lighter, perhaps it has smaller speakers, but they are still quite decent.
In short, S670 offers mostly everything which big brothers have, it has all the settings, same options with registrations, multi pads; USB recording; except for: less options to create or edit styles, less options to edit songs, perhaps it misses something else, but for me the only essential thing which it lacks is better drums.
Certainly, there are a lot of voices on SX900 or even S950 which S670 doesn't have, but the piano sound is rather similar, most importantly, the polyphony is the same. S670 is currently replaced with SX600; I think for most people during tough economics it is as close as they can get to TOTL arranger. It seems that Korg hasn't offered anything new in this range so far.
Keyboards got really expensive, for some reason not only in Russia, but here as well. If I "found a lot of money in the street" I would be debating whether to buy a new computer (my pragmatic side) or to buy another keyboard I had always secretly liked: Yamaha MX61 (my passionate side), a blue one (Zuki had one for a while)... it's due to be replaced, by the way.
S670 and MX61 look like a great set, but... my pragmatic side exists for a reason; it says "stop living in the past"... but what is the use of being right if you don't have your passion? And where is my passion right now? I'm not sure. I want a bicycle. It costs 1/6 of MX61... Lame...
I do not really expect that you will be watching all of that :-) Perhaps I just need it for myself in order to organize some thoughts, but it's basically why we usually talk here.
