Mikem Member Registered: 08/12/14 Posts: 917 Loc: Quebec, Canada	Here's the latest video by Jeremy See. Looks like he's now favoring the Yamaha PSR-SX900 over the Korg PA1000. Plus, rumors of two new Korg Arranger keyboards coming out in the next few months! Edited by Mikem (12/01/19 06:27 PM) _________________________ Mike

Bernie9 Senior Member Registered: 09/21/02 Posts: 5508 Loc: Port Charlotte,FL,USA	A startling reversal from his previous video, which I think is good to get an unbiased opinion. I just wonder, now, what Korg is up to. _________________________ pa4X 76 ,SX900, Audya 76,Yamaha S970 , vArranger, Hammond SK1, Ketron SD40, Centerpoint Space Station, Bose compact

rikkisbears Senior Member Registered: 12/22/02 Posts: 6020 Loc: NSW,Australia	Wow, is that a turnaround. Maybe after spending a bit more time on it, he’s realised how good they are. Interesting what he said about the new Korg, something different? Tiny bit bit cryptic. _________________________ best wishes Rikki 🧸 Korg PA5X 88 note SX900 Band in a Box 2022

DannyUK Senior Member Registered: 12/09/99 Posts: 1130	Yes it's amazing what happens when someone talks about a keyboard they've never seen or hardly used, as per his first reflection of the SX900, I am glad he has seen the light now! Although the Pa9000 is still a great board and I am very happy with mine even with owning an SX900. Both are fantastic and both have sounds and styles that are better on one or the other.

When he favored the Pa1000 over the Sx900, I felt he might have recieved something, he was so against the Sx900. I have learned that it is good to listen to all opinions, but at the end it is what is best for me. Genos Vs the Genos: I have been buyng the flag ship when I purchased. I feel that Genos is the flag ship model. The only reason it is not in my home, is because mu needs have changed. I played the Sx900 last night, and once again I smiled. NICE! John C.

Graham UK Senior Member Registered: 01/20/01 Posts: 1925 Loc: Lincolnshire UK	John C.. Problem here is Jeremy only few day ago was stating Korg Pa was better than the SX series. I think the reason is Yamaha would not send him a SX sample which prompted these comments. Korg Pa models are very good but take a little more time adjustment to get them to sound right out of the box. Edited by Graham UK (12/02/19 05:11 AM)

Bernie9 Senior Member Registered: 09/21/02 Posts: 5508 Loc: Port Charlotte,FL,USA	He started the video stating he had to rethink the previous one because of all the clamor from the Yammy people, and then, when he had one, decided differently. I have the Pa4x, and would have an SX900 were it not for the fact that I have the S970, and don't see a compelling reason to give it up. _________________________ pa4X 76 ,SX900, Audya 76,Yamaha S970 , vArranger, Hammond SK1, Ketron SD40, Centerpoint Space Station, Bose compact

I am doing thibgs that I never did before, something about the keyboard that invites me to add to what I know. I would say, I have become more creative. Bernie, I still smile each day after I play. I made a cometment to learn every part of the keyboard --- the same songs are now sounding better. Have you tried one yet? John C.

Only way you’ll know for sure if it’s worth it , to you. I think a few of the members had s970’s , and haven’t regretted the swap. _________________________ best wishes Rikki 🧸 Korg PA5X 88 note SX900 Band in a Box 2022

Uncle Dave Senior Member Registered: 12/01/99 Posts: 12800 Loc: Penn Yan, NY	I was so excited to get my PA1000 that I waited extra long for it, but I was very disappointed in it. The only upgrade I appreciated was the touchscreen. My PA900 was doing just great till I opened it up and messed up the upper keys, somehow. The 1k was not a logical upgrade for me, so I traded out of tha. The SX is definitely an upgrade for me, and gives me different sonic colors, as well. It's nice having a second library at hand in the studio. No regrets here. _________________________ No longer monitoring this forum. Please visit www.daveboydmusic.com for contact info

leeboy Senior Member Registered: 10/09/04 Posts: 2580 Loc: Ocala, FL USA	Interesting vid....I had a Korg PA2XPRO and it sure did have lots of pro features especially programming and MIDI capabilities. Some of the sounds were really good too, and some not....but mostly I eas not inspired, based on the kind of music I like, the styles did not work for me. I think with so many styles available for Yamaha that is one big deal for me. They are both outstanding boards, just in different ways...nice to have the choice. That's what I hear him saying too.

saxxman Senior Member Registered: 10/15/05 Posts: 1433 Loc: Niceville, FL USA	I too had the S970 and loved it! Have to say the upgrade was worth it to me. To me, the drums sound more "live" and the sounds are super. Though I have yet to begin exploiting the Assignable buttons, I can clearly see the utility of them and will definitely be employing them to simplify use of the board. Speakers sound better too! Still a lot more for me to learn but I am a happy SX900 camper! _________________________ ------------------------------------- Randy PA4X, SX900 (Baby Genos), Roland U-20, L1 Compact, Way 2 Many Saxes "My computer beats me routinely at chess - but it's NO MATCH for me at kick boxing!"

Uncle Dave Senior Member Registered: 12/01/99 Posts: 12800 Loc: Penn Yan, NY	John ... just trying to help. Those are Yamaha's words, not mine. The most expensive is not necessarily the best in all categories, as in this case. BTW - I'm not sleeeeeepy! _________________________ No longer monitoring this forum.

leeboy Senior Member Registered: 10/09/04 Posts: 2580 Loc: Ocala, FL USA	Boys & Girls...I'll tell you what I think here....After listening to all the demos, and based on what I know from my history of instruments....ANY shortcomings of my performance WILL NOT be because the SX-900 does not have what it takes. My gosh....back in the day...I played pretty well on the Yamaha HS8 organ...and the sound of the SX-900 blows that away! Wish they were is stock, going to go nuts waiting! _________________________ Lee S.
