I have been debating whether to sell my ketron sd5 and purchase the yamaha s900. I really like the sounds of it. what do you think?

What dont you like about the SD5

I think you'll love the S900....I love mine!

Ian

When you get the itch, you have to scratch it Is there any other reason?

Likes: Sounds, styles, jukebox.
Dislikes: tends to freeze once and a while, WEIGHT, and I guess boredom. after owning 4 ketrons back to back, I think its time for a change.

I really like the sounds of the tyros which could be found also on the S900.

That makes sense......good luck.

Hi mc,
do you also like psr styles? ( you only mentioned T2 sounds).

I find the psr & ketron styles quite different.

Personally I prefer the psr styles ( even though I only own a psr1500 currently). The sounds on my Ketron SD1+ are superior, but I'm not a great fan of the sd1 styles or it's style editing/creating functions.

Currently I'm tossing up between replacing the 1500 with a PSRs900 or adding a
Korg PA800.

Haven't had a chance to hear either yet.

best wishes
Rikki

the s900 is a nice board, but the keys are lousy better than the 3000 but they get sticky quickly

Just curious, Mikey, but do you own an S900?

Reason I ask, is that my S900 is played a lot and has not developed the problem you stated.

BTW neither has my 3 year old 3K.

Mikey is that a 3k your playing in this pic?

No wonder the keys got "sticky"...it must have been the bubble-gum.

I want to go through the entire board one more time at my local music store. I did notice last time it didn't have a cumbia and a few other latin styles. I use a lot of latin styles in the music I play. does the t2 styles work on the s900?

I wish they made sd5 lighter, it tends to get very heavy, especially when your packing up. I can only wonder how heavy the Audya will be when it comes out.
