But will it help people play better, (Encourage them to put the effort in) or just add features so that they don’t have to.

I am super stoked that has a chord looper ( chord sequencer?)
That would be a game changer for me and put all thoughts going to Korg away.

Found another web site not in English but I translated it and it's reporting the following specs:


This new keyboard will be called PSR-SX ... (There will be three numbers at the dot). With parameters like:
- Touch screen with Genos-like interface (but a little smaller)
- Sample memory is 1Gb
- 4-way Joystick like Genos
- Two USB ports located on the front
- There are REVO Drum and KinoStrings
- Two Live Control nipples move towards the Volume knob
- Many new styles and voice
- Internal memory (Unknown)
- New features (Unknown)
- Black functional buttons, control styles, regist, OST buttons ... with plastic and blue LEDs like Genos (Rubber button has been removed)
- The 61 key keyboard does not have any upgrades, still using the rubber elastic touch key like S975, no after touch.
- Full body in black plastic
- Weight about 11.5kg
- Expected to be released in October 2019

Some changes I hope for, but probably won't happen...
AI Fingered mode: One key should trigger a full major chord, not a unison. This should at least be a user-selectable option.
MultiFinger mode: Hoping this has the expanded implementation of the YPG-535 (and NOT the crippled MultiFinger mode of the PSR-Sxxx.) Try them both side by side--there is an unacknowledged difference, and the YPG-535 is much better!

If these changes are made, I would trade my Tyros5 straight-up. Otherwise sorry but no sale.

Are all these Specs Correct according to Mr. Kaye???
Quote:
1337 Voices, 56 Drum/SFX kits, 480 XG (vs. 1090 Voices, 55 Drum/SFX kits, 480 XG)
R1, R2, R3, L keyboard parts (vs. R1, R2, L only)
8 insert effect slots

Strange, how come the SX900 will have the same number of voices of the SX700??
Quote:
PSR-SX700
1337 Voices, 56 Drum/SFX kits, 480 XG (vs. 986 Voices, 41 Drum/SFX kits, 480 XG)
8 insert effect slots (vs. 5)

According to Mr Kaye specs, the SX700 even have the same amount of expansion memory:
Quote:
1GB expansion Voice memory (vs. 768MB)

Quote:
1GB expansion Voice memory (vs. 400MB)

Having an R3 voice is a huge step forward (finally) for the psr series, atleast in my book.

In the UK you can pick up a PSR S975 for about £1,179 new.
