The T3 conversions for the S900 and T2 that someone gave me - they just converted the file type so that it will load in the kb, but they didn't take the time to subsitute the missing voices. Many of these voices are mute in the S900.

If you are sitting on the fence about the S910, it just sounds fantastic IMO.

I don't have a PSRS900 left in my store so I can't compare the drum sounds from the 900 to the 910. As many others have stated already the 910 sounds great. I can hear a more clear sound both from the internal speakers and the external sound system.
I just did a comparison of the PSRS700 style drums vs the PSRS910 style drums by playing the exact same styles on both machines. There is a huge difference in the choice of snare drums both in the actual drum and the tuning of the drums. The 910 sounds much more "live" and less "compressed". I tried many styles and they all sound much better on the 910.

It's called "character" and each brand has it's own personality.

Can't see Yamaha trying to sound like a Korg or Roland...what then would make them different and thus appeal to a certain type of user?

I know the "Yamaha sound" is the kind of sound that I, and countless others, like to hear coming out of our speakers.

Considering the S910's price, it sure packs a lot of power and features...same as the S900 and PSR-3000 did before it.

Using a MOTL arranger is not the penalty it used to be...they easily rival the TOTL for overall performance...I haven't needed to spend a lot of money on a TOTL in years...the mid-range is perfect for me and many other pros, as well home users.

I'm always interested in the new Yamaha boards. It's good to hear George's review of the more lively drums. I miss a lot of things about Yammy for sure. I did very well with the S900 live and the folks loved it. I look forward to playing their latest if found somewhere.

Hi George

Maybe you can tell me, what's your impression of the sound of the S910 vs a Tyros 2? At least some kind of approximate info would be great, even if you don't have a T2 in stock and go by memory would be a big help. Thanx

Actually, I'd like a side by side of those T3 styles played on a T3 and played on the S910. How much do you lose? How much better is the overall sound quality (D/A's, effects, sample compression etc.)?

Is the T3 really worth nearly $3000 MORE?

(QUOTE)so that's cleared up now the s910 styles/T3 Will Not work in the s900 without some kind of conversions.....& even then what would they sound like converted and what conversion program is needed to accomplish this anyway?(QUOTE)
I have the S910 Styles converted to the S900 already, but even though, some tweaking is necessary. If you wanna try, I'll be glad to e-mail them to you.
