2. Single layer acoustic pianos, to me, sounded awful thin - a big concern I have going forward with the 900.

I was done with it in 15 minutes....just my opinion.



Zuki if you didn't care for genos vs your pa3x....
the SX900 is not going to be better keybed wise honestly....
open that SX box and see what you think?.

Yamaha ballances all its instruments to sound well in the mix..

Roland ballances the mix for its backings

This allows, for a way less compressed sound of solo instruments..including piano..
however on my Jupiter 80, you can easilly solve the problem by adding a bit of EQ/Filter/compressor to the piano sound..

On the other side of things, this makes the piano sound on the jupiter 80 extremely suited for solo playing with all its harmonics...

Probably a very good advise, so I'll turn on the warning lamp. 🚨
