I wonder what style format will the s910 in? older s900 or the new tyros 3?

I did notice newer styles also that are not on the s900.

Hi Guys - I compared the on-board styles for 910 to the list for S900 and here are what I think (based on a cursory look) are the outliers (haven't compared this list to T2 styles). I do recognize at least a couple as T3 styles.

I was hoping the S910 would include the "delayed articulation piano" voice (octave/cocktail sound with a delay in triggering the voices) but I don't
know if that's one of them that came down to S910 or not.

Also, according to the specs, both T3 and S910 use the "GE" style file format.

Looking forward to more info and some demo's. "And the beat goes on......"

Y'all have a great week!

There are only 17 more styles. There are probably a handful of styles on the S900 that didn't make it onto the S910.

There is 1mb of additional USER memory.

Ditto on that piano!

will the new 910 styles (17) work ok in the s900 also? or?

I don't think the PSR-S910 styles will work at all on the S900...it is using the new Guitar Mode, as does the Tyros3.

There were conversions of the T3 styles to T2/S900, and they were okay, but, in my opinion, not outstanding.

I suspect S910 to T2/S900 conversions will be similar.

You will be able to play S900 styles on the S910, and perhaps it will also play some of the Tyros3 styles.

Won't know for sure till I get one.

As always Ian thank you for enlightening me with this good information. I have to say I have no interest in teh S910 at this time as I am very content with the S900...it has been a workhorse that always gets the job done time after time. I really look forward to Yamaha's "next" arranger KB series beyond T3/S910 for sure.

I might wait until I had heard how well the new guitar NTT's work before I made that decision, myself. Of all the things in an arranger, getting realistic guitar parts is perhaps the hardest (witness Ketron going to audio loops to end run around the issue). If Yamaha's new system improves things that dramatically, perhaps it might be a good time to move, Donny?

Ian, you've got both the S900 and the T3 at the moment, don't you? Would you say that the new guitar mode is a quantum leap past the S900, or is it just a very subtle improvement?

It depends on the style, and the guitars used therein.

Probably a tad more than subtle, in my opinion.

I think the differences would be less noticeable "live", and more apparent with a recording...if that makes any sense.

Since I don't currently own an arranger (also sold the P-85, and the two Bose L1 systems...actually made a profit on the latter), I'm in the market for one...if the S910's new organ sounds are the same as the T3's, I will get the former...if not, I may buy the demo S900 I have here at a greatly reduced price.

I have a suspicion the S910 will play most, if not all, of the Tyros3's styles without a problem.

Ian

None of these so called perfect sound mean anything if you not a good player at any level...there's too much emphasis on these sounds all the time ......these manufacturers IMO have well thought out these KB's and I very rarely if ever alter a sound from factory. I'll more often tweak a style.....its your playing that makes all the difference.
