I don't see any of the great new features from the list on the first note of this thread - here is a link: http://au.yamaha.com/en/products/musical-instruments/keyboards/digitalpianos/cvp_series/cvp-709/ _________________________ Genos / Tyros5 / HK Lucas Nano 600 / FTB Maxx 40a / EV ZX1A / Rock'n'Roller cart / Hauptwerk virtual pipe organ / misc other audio & music toys

Seems a confirmation to me, that Yamaha is still having problems getting their technollogy level to the next level.. One huge surprise however, for the first time ever, Yamaha is not only having a Yamaha grand onboard, but also a Boesendorfer... _________________________ Yamaha Genos, Roland Jupiter 80, Ipad pro. http://keyszone.boards.net

Bachus Senior Member Registered: 03/02/06 Posts: 7143	Comparisson chart with previous model Just look at this table comparing it to the 609.... the difference.. 13 new VRM voices (yamahas new virtuall piano engine) and 30 audio styles, thats about it, while the number of SA2 voices dropped from 30 to 22.... I see nothing but a few minor differences, it should have been named the CVP 609 plus... _________________________ Yamaha Genos, Roland Jupiter 80, Ipad pro. http://keyszone.boards.net

Why would this time be any different? I actually love some of the Yamaha audio drum styles (that's what they are, all other instruments are midi). The problem is that many of them are too song-specific to be of general use. At least on the S950. I haven't paid any attention to the bigger number of them on Tyros 5. I used the audio acoustic jazz and swing styles a lot. One downside is they make the traditional Yamaha drum kits sound really bad in comparison. Nothing at all wrong with midi drums. I just wish Yamaha would put better ones in their arrangers. They certainly have them in the synths! Fire away. I can take it! _________________________ DonM

DonM Senior Member Registered: 06/25/99 Posts: 16735 Loc: Benton, LA, USA	It has been a thing of the past for a number of years now, set aside a short time with the S950. I love the Korg drums too. And Rolands were good. But let's be honest, ALL the current arrangers are great! If Yamaha were the only one around, I would have no problem happily playing one for whatever is left of my career. However, for me and my particular situation and desires, there are several better choices. I'm going to hate to part with my Korg PA900 because they got a lot of things right with it. Hoping the SD7 will no more things righter! _________________________ DonM
