The PSR-SX700 & PSR-SX900 Hi performance keyboards on the market with TFT touch screen
The PSR-SX900, which incorporates a newly-designed, bi-amped speaker system with a wide stereo audio field, is the new flagship of the PSR-SX line. It boasts 4GB of internal memory, 1337 instrument Voices, 56 Drum/SFX kits, and 480 XG Voices, as well as 329 Multi Pad banks. To ensure silky-smooth, high-quality sound, the DAC (Digital Audio Converter) on this keyboard has been upgraded to 32-bit, the same as those found in Genos and in the top-of-the-line Yamaha MONTAGE synthesizer.
The new models employ numerous features from Yamaha's advanced Genos workstation keyboard.
Both new models share a 7-inch touch screen that incorporates the same intuitive GUI offered on Genos, allowing users to navigate all assignments, as well as other features.
Six new assignable controller buttons have been added beneath the touch screen, plus a new joystick controller with modulation hold opens up expressive possibilities as well.
Built-in content from the Yamaha Voice & Style Expansion library provides instant access to a wide variety of international content.
Expansion memory size has been increased in both keyboards—to 400MB in the PSR-SX700, 1GB in the PSR-SX900—allowing users to further customize their instruments. New Voices and DSP have also been added, inherited from Genos as well.
Performers and writers will be very impressed with the breadth of new content, customizability and expandability found in these keyboards," said Ben Harrison, marketing manager, Digital Piano & Portable Keyboard, Yamaha Corporation of America. "The PSR-SX series represents some of the most powerful songwriting tools around. Using these keyboards, songwriters can get from an idea to a fully arranged demo faster than ever, and performers can get the room moving in no time.
