Yep, another fantastic demo of an incredible arranger.

I must say, I'm very happy with my S910.

Listening to this demo, we can say that the "chef" uses spices and ingredients just right

The demo is nice. Although it doesn’t reveal dance styles and synth voices but on another hand if the player is uncomfortable with them that’s a good call.

This keyboard is the same category that the PSR-3000 was in 2004. It has some new nice features but I guess about 80% of it is the same hardware so for me it would be a disappointment to pay lots of money for what I already have.

After buying the PSR-3000 I bought the NP-30, so I got a wider keyboard and extra piano voice (PSR-3000 has a LINE-IN). Than I bought the MM6 as a lightweight keyboard to do some gigs. That one came with contemporary styles and voices that PSR-3000 didn’t have. Also MM6 has some nice ethnic voices and styles that are fun to try.

After that I also bought a nylon guitar and although I had never played one before it didn’t take a lot to get acquainted with that thing and now I’m not too tempted by those good guitar voices of PSR-S910.

Actually, frankly speaking I would be thrilled if I somehow got the PSR-S910 and I see that for some people such upgrade can be reasonable. But in my case I believe that I came out with more by going my way.

By the way there’s a pre-moderation for comments on YouTube for that demo. I guess that’s fine but… it would be also fine if there was not.

Sorry if my English is killing

Your English is just fine. Keep in mind that the PSR-3000 is a killer keyboard. It was light years beyond the PSR-2000 and many performers, including myself, are still using the 3000 on a daily basis. The S-910 has some features that I wish were on the 3000, but in contrast, the 3000 has some features that should have been on the S-910. The S-910 is a great keyboard, and there are lots of entertainers using this particular model and enjoy every aspect of it.

Cheers,

Gary

Hi Gary
Just as you have the PSR-3000, I still have my PSR-2000......I am really curious as to what features are on the 3K that are not on the s910 ?
The reason why I ask, is because I am looking at a s910.... ( would love the Audya but not yet !! )

The biggest improvement going from the 2K to the 3K is the USB flash drive. No more floppies. There are some other advantages as well...but being able to store EVERYTHING on a thumbdrive for immediate access is number one IMO.

The S910 takes things a step further with its ability to record and play MP3s. With each new model there are also new voices and styles. It sounds like the S910 sould be the next logical step for you.

Same cover but a different book. The PSR3000 is a good athlete in a Superman costume. The PSR-S910 is a lot closer to the real Superman.

One of the things I would have like to have seen on the PSR-S910 would have been a card reader, one similar to the Smart Media Card the 3000 has. Additionally, the USB drive should have been placed somewhere on the front of the keyboard to provide easy access--not on the back where it's nearly impossible to get at. It has only been recently that I was able to overcome having to remove the USB drive from the keyboard every time it was placed in the keyboard case. I discovered one that is so tiny that it remains recessed in the keyboard, out of harm's way. I posted a link to it on the forum last summer when I purchased a pair of 4-gigabyte drives from Hong Kong.

The major improvement with the S-910 is the display, which now can be seen at any angle, it's quite bright, but unfortunately, not sunlight viewable. Another significant advancement is the 910's ability to access third-party style files on the USB drive for the Music Finder. This is extremely beneficial to those of us that use this fantastic tool. No longer is the MFD limited to files stored in the keyboard's onboard memory. This is something players have been asking Yamaha to install for years.

If you are moving up from the PSR-2000 to a 3000, it's a big leap forward. The leap to the S-910 may not be as gigantic, but it is a big step up in many ways.

Good Luck,

Gary
