Yamaha PSR-SX900 Digital Arranger Keyboard

Yamaha PSR-SX900 Digital Arranger Keyboard Overview

When it comes to setting new benchmarks in high-quality digital sound, design and playing enjoyment, the new PSR-SX700 and PSR-SX900 are hard to beat. As the next generation of the highly popular PSR-S series, both models have been meticulously crafted to maximise playing, performance and enjoyment. The result: a truly unique experience that sets any musician’s imagination free.

Songwriting and composition have never been easier because the PSR-SX comes with a whole host of styles to choose from. These rhythmic patterns span numerous musical genres, making them an ideal accompaniment and inspiration for all your musical compilations. This, combined with a vast range of expressive sounds, makes the PSR-SX your ultimate musical partner.

PSR-SX includes a comprehensive and sonically stunning set of authentic voices. Moreover, the list of exciting tools to choose from means you can play each of them with greater power and expressiveness. What‘s more, the sound of the new drums in the PSR-SX900 (derived from the Revo! Drums of Genos) bring new levels of authenticity to your performance. Both the PSR-SX700 and PSR-SX900 consist of four keyboard parts for optimal manual performance: LEFT, RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2 and RIGHT 3. By combining these, you can create rich instrumental textures while enjoying convenient performance combinations.

The Chord Looper lets you record a chord sequence and immediately play it back. That frees up your left hand from playing chords, thus providing new ways to enhance your performance. Because the chords play back in a loop, you don’t need to manually repeat the chord pattern anymore. That means you can focus on your playing and performance.

Connect with the music

At the top of the PSR SX900 is the crown jewel of the arranger - the 7’’ full-colour touch screen.

For all of the functions that you need to access on-demand, you can quickly assign them to a whole range of different areas on the keyboard. Choose from the six assignable buttons, live control knobs, pedals, or the home shortcut menu, then instantly recall them with a single touch.

Play in style

To ensure that you’re comfortable during performances, Yamaha have placed their FSB keyboard into the PSR SX900. The heavier initial key resistance and greater key travel offer an expressive and responsive playing experience. Even if you like to play on the back of the keys, the refined keyboard structure with an adjusted fulcrum lets you play comfortably at all times. This upgraded structure even suppresses’ any horizontal key movement. So you can add plenty of style and nuance into your music, the PSR SX900 even features a joystick which offers intuitive pitch and modulation control. Perfect for playing rapid trills, dynamic pitch bends, or even the smallest amount of modulation, the joystick enables you to take full control from one single, easily configurable controller.
