Hi, not sure about the korg,
but there appears to be a difference in the 975 vs 775.
The Dome must make the difference?


Psrs 775
15 W x 2
Speakers 13 cm x 2 + 5 cm x 2


Psr s. 975
15 W x 2
Speakers 13 cm x 2 + 2.5 cm (dome) x 2

Could anyone post some examples of the “scat” voices from any keyboard manufacturer, that you feel are tastefully used?

I imagine these voices have potencial to accompany a good singer, perhaps doing “ doo whop”

Examples please!




Here's a video I saw a while back. I don't think I posted it before. It's called, "Jazz Scat" found on Roland keyboards:

but that is all personal preference.
Hey if someone likes them so be it....
just not my cup of tea. Enjoy.


Personally haven’t seen anyone mention that. Still , everyone has their own taste.
Don’t know if I’d use them for melody, might depend on the song,but they do sound good in the style.

Pity you didn’t have time to check them out while you had the sx.

P.s When is your Roland arriving? they on a go slow or something.

From what I have seen, a person either cares for scat voices (live or recorded) or they don't. Long time ago, I saw Sheila Jordon scatting live in Newport News VA and it kinda puzzled me at the time. I agree that scat voices tend to sound much better as background fills in styles than as solo voices.

Hi Rikki - Yes, I am happy to announce ---- Thanks FRANK!

THE SX900 HAS LANDED!!!! YEE HAA!!!

Took possession over the weekend but I had a gig and spent my time woodshedding on the saxophone... have had a couple hours with it and am still "acclimating". I love what I have heard, seen, and experienced with this new board! The PlayList thing at first appeared daunting, but I am starting to get the hang of it and think in the end it will be quite usable. Probably better for me than the old Music Finder was as most of my stuff will be set up in registrations and then referenced from a Playlist. Looking forward to learning more as I go.

Will post as I learn and make conclusions, but so far, the upgrade to me has been well worth the dough. I sold my PA900 and S970 and have not looked back. Love the new look, the new screen, and the new features! dance2

Maybe I’m actually grouping too many voices under the heading scat voices.

It’s not just the doo be do bee’s,

for instance Surf Rock style you have a Beach Boys vocal sound in the intro. Same with Beach Rock.
Gospel intro’s you have a Gospel Choir . Soul Intro, voices also.
50’s Rock n’ Roll .

These voices probably existed in the T series? but certainly not in my S950.

Rikki - think they did come from the Tyros line. Still in there and the Genos too. They are a nice touch in the right songs for sure!
