No SA2 voices...
Same keybed as PSR S910. (MOX has "Semi Weighted") S950 has "Organ Style"

Still only 2 voices in the Upper (not 3 like Tyros)

It has an Aux in Jack for IPOD connectivity

Only 25 styles with audio drums.
I wonder if users will be able to replace MIDI drums from the styles, with the new audio drums like in the Audya.

As expected, specs are almost like the T3 for the 950 and for the 750 its like the 910. Surprisingly the specs don`t mention SA2 voices.But the big feature here is the introduction of audio styles. They mention 25 such styles in the 950. Hope there is a provision to buy and load more of these. Speakers are now 30w instead of 24w

Sounds great on paper... demos should give us an idea of the new features. Cmon Yamaha.. Keep `em coming !!

From the information I received from Yamaha last week yes there is a provision for adding more audio styles.

The specs do say there are now 62 super articulation which is about double the 910 and more "live" voice sounds as well

From what I've read though, the new audio styles will ONLY come from Yamaha, and will be released on their schedule...

Take a look at how few new styles Yamaha release right now that don't even NEED the audio style feature (which adds considerably to the complexity of producing them), and this new feature seems to be meeting my expectations. Yamaha once again go the proprietary route, and dole out new content in dribs and drabs.

408 styles, and only 25 that even USE their new feature? I am afraid I am unimpressed.

And how many audio styles can you really put on 64mb.
I think Yamaha is just testing ground with guinea pigs(players)at our expense. I guess everything is the same.Give us on the spoon.Bit by bit.

The thing is, Donny, if Yamaha HAVE worked out how to protect their styles (which you know I am in agreement with), surely that should mean they can make MORE of them, secure in the knowledge that they ARE going to make their money back (and a tidy profit), rather than the copyfest crapshoot that making them nowadays usually is?

Once a guaranteed income is secured, this ought to mean a vast increase in production. This has NOT been the case though. TBH, I've seen other companies produce more FREE styles (Roland Brazil has been very productive creating free styles for that region) than Yamaha have made even with a secure income stream for them.

I am dismayed by how wrong Yamaha get this concept. At the very least, a proprietary format and a secure delivery system should ensure MORE content is available, not less. It is like Yamaha have been determined to take the worse of BOTH systems! At least an open system would assure tons of (albeit lower quality) user styles, but with no protection and revenue for the producers. But with a proprietary system AND a miserly delivery pace, Yamaha snatch defeat from the jaws of victory!
