Has anyone played this keyboard? I've seen it for sale on ebay before, and I just took a look at it on the Yamaha history page. Maybe it's just me, but man what a beautiful looking keyboard Even now the design of it doesn't seem outdated. The construction seems so much better than today's PSR's... Anyone have any info on this board as far as sounds, styles and features....???

I think I owned a PSR 6700 once...but can't find a pic of it. Where is the history page you mentioned?

It's at the Yamaha PK Club. www.yamahapkclub.com It's under the history section. Nice looking keyboard. Wish I could get my hands on one to try out...

I can't get the site with the pic to load. I thought I may have bought a PSR 6700 to replace a PSR 5700....but I see the 6700 came out first. (Very confusing model numbering here.)

So, I guess it wasn't the 6700 I had after all.

Hi Guys,
Could it possibly be the 5700 & 6700 came out the same year?
The 5700 has 61 keys, the 6700 has 76.
Just wondering????

According to Yamaha's history the PSR 6700 came out in 1991. The 5700 was introduced the next model yea, 1992

It's possible.. They are so closely related in regards to features. I think there is a poly difference. I would like to find one to try out. Im curious how they sound, and the capacity for the internal seqencer.... I can see it came out some time ago too....

Hi Squeak,
Here is an old address that will tell you a lot about the 5700 but they didn't have any thing on the 6700!

Hi Folks,
I was reading the replies to this thread and it brought to mind the Yamaha- X4500, Now that was a KB But in only had a polyphony 8 notes and it was a GM--Midi KB so that just goes to show that Yamaha has had a "history" of "wierd" KB`s. But it had build quality that would surpass some of the finest boards on the market today and the "action" was perfect I owned that KB for about 4yr`s and aside from the lack of poly it was IMO "light-years" ahead , for example: sounds were sampled in AWM + AWS (advanced wave modulation)+(advanced wave synthesis) the "Piano sounded like, Trumpet was better than the real thing (imo) and NO WHEELS !! It had a "Pitch roll bar" and "Modulation roll bar" not just tiny things, The pitch ran for the first 2 octaves and the modualtion for the remaining 3, so you could be playing, add effects and not reach for a "wheel" just "palm-it" while you play! Sorry for the long review of a 12-13 year-old KB, Just old memories as a gaze-upon my 2000 and ask why O- in case your wondering 100 sounds +100 styles, variations, multipads and "drum-pads" all programable ! So Yamaha can do it ,If they want to!!
