S670 came today and I'll get right into it without any fluff,......
sounds great, typical Yamaha, for the price I am very happy with that ..
trying to get setup quickly I put all my S970 files on a USB stick and as usual plugged it in and attempted to load REG & User Styles.First error message not enough on board RAM as expected no biggie there..... I can live with playing ALL my REG/Styles off a USB drive as I always have done with my Yamaha arrangers. BUT for some reason I thought I should have no problem doing this, but when I select a REG song it will not recognize the associated style and I have to load it manually from the user style bank on USB, same style as previous songs remains,.......what am I doing wrong?... the FREEZE boxes (styles) are unchecked,......all I wanna do is work from the USB stick and call up the REG song lists pages, select a song, and off I go as I always have done,......or do I have to setup everything from scratch again versus just a little tweaking? ...
frustrating at this point to say the least
any suggestions? appreciate it..

I suspect you are trying to get a Schwinn to do what a Mercedes does.
The Registrations only point to sounds and styles. If they are not on the keyboard or USB, then it can't find them.
I love the way Ketron saves the sounds and styles with each Registration. They don't even have to be in the keyboard.

EBAY NOW!!!!


For your needs it will work fine . Recording data into mixcraft and use the VST's/ audio loops.

Don...all S970 REG & user styles are on the USB stick in a folder..
all associated OTS, tempo, key, etc is retained in the REG bank except the style itself. at this point I have to go though all the reg songs and assign the appropriate styles and tempos, key etc... one at a time....Grrrrrrrr.

Sorry to hear that Donny.
AS Don said they are in 2 different leagues.
The PSR S-670 has a lot less voices and features:

My feeling is that you might be happier starting from scratch ...
Good luck

Hi Eric I can understand they are two different models,......I guess I just wanted to get it done the easy way,......now it will take a little more time to get my homework finished, but when it is I know I have made the right choice its just a matter of linking the registrations after choosing my custom user styles and assigning them to the song...should take a few days ....
There is alot to like about this arranger KB, Yamaha did a nice job .......take care.

Hi Donny,
It is certainly a great arranger for sure.
I looked at it once as a second KB and opted for the S970.
As I said you are missing some Mega voices and drum kits, which means you might have to revoice some styles.
Good luck and have fun.
Keep us posted on your progress.
Eric

Congrats Donny.
Have fun and enjoy it, setup and finetune for the new keyboard is part of the excitement..

Thanx Guys appreciate it,..... I know I'm a finicky one lol but I have to say this unit really sounds terriffic,..bumped up the CMP/EQ a few notches and it came alive. I really like the navigational layout very well done and all is in the right places while playing lie. Once I got the feel for it I was on my way to getting it setup FOR MY way of playing to back up my vocals. Already have one REG bank all done, thank goodness all my custom styles were created a while back, ots, eq, filters, solo sounds, etc, and it's just a matter of assigning them to the REG songs and memories & save. No biggie just a few steps to save them, before long I'll have it all done.
And all in a lightweight 17lb package.

Think of it as a disposable razor.
It only has to last a little while, then you'll toss it out.

hey it's been 24 hrs so far and I still have it
give me some credit!!

PS I didn't realize how much I missed the BREAK Button......
just sayin'

Wow ... 24 hours, really? Way to go!

We all like to kid Donny, but I can see his reasoning of just wanting the features he uses for the least amount of money. Unfortunately, it takes a hands on trial to get the true answer. I'm with you Donny.

Bernie I would say this model is very underpriced for the what you get and the amazing sound on par with higher priced units...I don't need colored icons, mic processor, VH, mp3 player etc,....
I use all outboard gear for that which is much better. But the brick & mortar of the S670 is certainly on par sound & style wise with the S770/S970....speakers sound terriffic also,
don't let the price fool ya!.

My friend, Walter, who lives in Argentina, owns a PSR S670. He has created some of the most incredible sounding music I ever heard using the 670, most of it, movie theme quality. Unfortunately, I cannot download his music from the site, however, here's a link to one of his S670 creations, Alice. https://www.keyboard-player.org.uk/mtrax...ion=&Single

Enjoy,
