It’s here, and I love it. Two hours when it came, and 2 to 3am this morning. I think I was dreaming how I would be playing one of my old special songs last night. (smile)

My MO, is to learn enough to play one song with my settings. After that I will listen to the styles, and not change anything. Just spend time on some of the features I need now. Then I will enjoy playing, spending time in learning every feature that Yamaha has put in the keyboard. I enjoy learning, so what is ahead will be another Joy.

I believe what Gary has said, rephrased – You’ll love me when you get to know me.
Opinion; The Sx900, and all that it offers, comes the closest to the keyboard I have used for most of my career; The Kn7000. It’s that and more. When I play, I can be me again.

For performing the Korg Pa4x still rules. Will I buy a Pa5x, I’m not telling – but the Sx900 will be my main keyboard.

I will share after I go through the learning curve. Is the Sx900 perfect? No! But neither am I so we will get along very well.

A happy Camper, John C.

Enjoy your new toy John congrats....
does this mean your playing out again too or?
If you like the way yamaha does it maybe you will dump the KORG Pa4x and get a Genos also...good luck.

Nice John, Look forward to your comments, and my SX-900 arrival next week. I also once had a Technics KN-7000. That keyboard was way ahead of it's time, and I miss it, good to hear that the SX-900 reminds you of that keyboard.

Enjoy

John, I'm glad to hear it arrived safely. I put a couple of CDs in the box; hope they made it intact.

Larry, I remember you from the Technic days. And yes, the Sx900 is very close to the Kn7 in many ways, especially the sounds of the instruments. Piano and Trumpet were my favorites, both are equally good in the Sx, if not better.

Take care, John C.

Donny, the Korg Pa4x and Pa1000 are gone. And no Genos for me.

Randy, thank you, it’s a great keyboard.

Thanks Steve you’re always right there, glad you’re here.

Don, all safe and in good shape. I could not find the CDs. I did not throw anything out. Will give it another look tomorrow.

Thanks, John C
