Forgive me if this is not news, but I had not noticed it before:
http://www.yamaha.com/yamahavgn/CDA/ContentDetail/ModelSeriesDetail/0,,CNTID%25253D546518%252526CTID%25253D205500%252526CNTYP%25253DPRODUCT,00.html

As of now there is just one (fairly long though) video demo and no audio demos. As expected it will be the board just below the PSR-1500 (until that is replaced of course), and will cost "considerably less" than $1,000. For what it is it looks good.

32 note poly is a little thin for a GA Keyboard.
I was looking at it to put in the motorhome and just leave it there and leaving the TY2 in the studio but 32 note
Bebop

Sounds just like my PSR 3000...except he plays better , of course...

People start saving your Bucks....!!
The new Yamaha "S" series GA units 500/700/900 are gonna be Awesome &
Hard to beat!!!

Just alone on the "entry level" S500 I see there are a few navagational improvements vs the 3k...

1- harmony button on deck
2- dsp button
3- new pro look design
4- better speakers

I would assume they'll be many more on the S700/S900.....can't wait!

Eric good detective work.....keep it up!!

I would like to see the same sound engine in the next generation of the YPG/DGX models.

Nice find Eric. On looking at the site, it would seem that the photos are there, but you need to log in to the forum to be able to view them. I've tried to register, but without any luck. Oh well, we should be just days away from the official announcement anyway - can't wait. Nice to see that the 900 will have the SA voices that we have been speculating on recently.
