NO one is Buying the S700??
Why?

No info on this forum? no buyers yet?

As of now that's the only one I can afford, I would love to buy the S900, but as of now it's not possible.

Thanks

Vilo,

If you can get a second hand PSR-S900...go for it!

I love mine...it's one of the best keyboards I've ever owned.

You can't go wrong with a PSR-3000 either.

Both have Mega voices, but the S900 has the edge by having the Super articulated voices as well.

Good luck.

Ian

Are they widely available, yet...? How long have they been shipping? Anyone played one in a store, yet?

Many possible reasons.

In my opinion, as far as Availability is no different than the S900...

I know, I got in touch with AJ Already, but had a customer, checking it out, AND, THE BIG AND! is, I don't have the money to buy it, the Price that he gave me on the S700 is very tempting.

THanks

vilo if the S700 is what you really want ....just keep saving up.....the KB is not going anywhere, in the end your gonna be happy........if your patience can tolerate it

Well, see, I got this problem, I have enough for the S700....... But the S900...... it saying "WAIT FOR ME"

The S700 and S900 are definitely "worthy". The only thing is, it's not the successor Yamaha claims it to be. To me and a lot of users on my own forum it's totally unclear why there is a PSR3000 _and_ a S900. Both instruments overlap a great deal, and each has its own benefits over the other.

I suspect the same goes for PSR1500 versus S700. So if you have a 1500 or 3000, the general thought is: "Don't". If the S700 or S900 is a real upgrade to you: go for it.

And if you'd rather have the S900 than the S700 but can't afford the S900 right now: Just wait and save some more money. Even though you may never know exactly what you miss out on if you go for the S700, you'll still have that nagging idea of "but what if I had bought the S900..."

I agree.......probably Yamaha had to get rid of over stocked parts from the 3k so they conjured up a S900 etc .. with a few SA voices & additional features.
Rumor has it that even the Tyros craze is about over.....& Yamaha's next indulgement into the arranger market will be something of a "Hybrid"......just wait & see

I'm glad Yamaha "conjured" up the S900...it's a boss 'board...I had a 3k, and in my opinion, the upgrade is substantial...SA voices and audio to USB being the highlights...and also the S900 is less expensive than the 3k was when it was introduced.

Plus, the keyboard is light, well made and easy to set up(built in speakers).

It was an easy choice for me...I would have bought it for that great SA Sax alone.

Ian

As stated it S series...was a good vehicle for Yamaha to dump off excess parts from previous units. Its all about money, its a normal business practice.

As stated the S series is just another ReCycle phase...it was a good vehicle for Yamaha to dump off excess parts from previous units. Its all about money, its a normal business practice

Donny, I had no idea you knew so much about Yamaha's inventory...you must be well informed, or secretly working for the company.

Ian

Ian its been going on for years

That's the dilemma I have When the 1500/3000 came into "existence" I had enough money for the PSR1500 but wantd the 3000, and I waited and tried to save money for the 3000 but I had some problems and spend the money and I did not get either one.... so know I'm I have the same problem.

I need a keyboard for my band right now, I want the "SpareParts"900 !

Thanks guys, I'll find out by next week if I can come up with the rest of the money.....WAIT!! I GOT AN IDEA, Each of you can send me $5.00 AN I can get my SparePArts 900 ..................................................................

Just kidding of course!!

Thanks for the great comments, Vilo...I hope you can get the S900.

Ian

Vilo, good luck in your quest for the KB that will make your musical experience a happy one.....I dare not ask for demos when & if you get it ......but whatever you do with it make it sound GREAT!

[This message has been edited by Dnj (edited 08-19-2007).]

I tried the s900 and s700 side-by-side at Sam Ash.
If I had not decided to reorder the E60 (see my post in
the Roland arranger forum: E60 2nd time around) I would
have selected the s700 over the s900.

Why? I didn't feel i would make much use of what the s900 offered for $600 more..namely the vocal harmonizer
and SA voices. Also, the monochromatic screen seemed easier to see than the color screen. But for the majority
that would use the harmonizer and SA's, those features are definitely worth the $600 more, especially in view of
the fact the s900 will be more desirable for resale.

You can find some demos of the PSR2000 from some time ago here:
www.tagworld.com/vicentelopez

Not all the songs were done with the PSR2000 but is easy to hear/find out which ones were.

I checked out your site...cool music...you are a fine singer.

Ian

Good points there, the harmonizer is one of the features that I like, but in my case, a separate Harmonize,reither from Digitech or TC., will be a better choice for what I want to use it for.

Now, the keyboard will be use to play live with my band,[with don't have a drummer] and sometimes one of the guitar players is a no show, but I will be using it to make my own music/soundtracks so I need as many styles as possible mainly ballads, so maybe the S700 will be the rigth choice.

Thanks guys!

Thanks Donny! I appreciate your comments.

I recorded some of the songs using the long gone PSR2000[Sold it about 4 years ago] and mix it with an AKAI DPS16 also sold few years ago.

THe other songs were recorded with my lonely Ibanez acoustic/electric guitar and a PSR Bass Guitar, one track @ a time, into the EMU 1820m[Also sold last year]mixed in Krisatal Audio Engine and "mastered" with SoundForge 8.

So As you see I'm a gear freak too, always looking for the new stuff and no money I bougth the Alesis i|O26 in january, a Behringer VAMP2 from CraigsList for $40.00 a month ago.

God BLess America!!! and all the SZ'ers!

Vilo my psr 2100 is listed on craigs list due to preferring to sell locally, but I will sell to you or any other zoner if you get to me before any one else.
I lost a few bucks at casino last night and kind of need money (wooops) so can sell at good price. (my loss your gain, literally)
E-mail me if interested,
Jim
