Hi All
Im looking to upgrade from the S900. Have the following options:
1) Have a quote for a used Tyros 3 (without speakers) under warranty quoted for about 3000 USD and I get about 900 USD for my 1 year old S900.
2) Wait for the new PSR- S950 that round the corner.
The problem with the Tyros 3 is lack of external speakers which will need another investment and Im most comfortable with the built in speakers for my use. I play about 10 gigs a Year. All mostly at home and small gatherings. The only thing drawing me to the Tyros 3 is the huge upgrade in sound quality and the styles and everything else over the S900.
Im also keen on getting some Indian styles which I believe will be included in the S950 as per the data list and also the ability to add expansion packs.
For starters the s950 has the all the sounds and Of the tyros 3 plus additional new ones including Real drums and audio styles. The s950 has vocal harmony2 The t3 does not. The s950 has the same exact indian Sounds and drum kits as the s910. The t3 does not. S950 Has more effects than t3. S950 also has a new drum kit- turkish. Wav assignable Mutli pads is available on the s950. I don't think even The t4 has this. Don't forget the way improved speakers. If u can live without upper 3, aftertouch, sampling, then The s950 puts the t3 to sleep
By the way I found the s910 to be far far superior And more exciting than the s900. The reason for This was the better drum kits, many extra sounds, a Few extra mega voices, and the amazing indian content, And the awesome new screen S950 can only be even better
