I'm waiting for the 76 key version to come out.

Not bad. Peter is a great player and could make a Casio CTK sound marvelous.

The PSR S900 should be a big seller for Yammie. The sounds are pretty amazing in that price range and I especially enjoyed the "Raiders Of The Lost Ark" demo. The Sax demo was okay but the sax sound didn't overly impress me. Overall though I think Yamaha definitely has a winner on its hands with the PSR S900.

I also wanted to mention that the Drums didn't sound any better than my PSR 2000 if you can believe that. I guess if they gave it everything then people wouldn't buy the Tyros2.

Thanks for sharing! Well spotted

I noticed that Peter is not playing the same instrument in all three videos. In the first video, he's playing the instrument on the right side, and in the third video it's the left one... I can't figure out which one is the S900 or S700. Can you?

I think the board used on the raiders of the lost arc is the tyros 2. Looks like the screen is not all the way up but looks movable just the same.

YOur gonna have a long wait....meanwhile there are many other great sounding KB's out there with 76 keys if thats your #1 priority.

I was being facetious Donny. You and I both know that Yamaha has no intentions of releasing a 76 key mid OR high end board in the foreseeable future. We've been waiting and waiting for them to do it and all of our pleas have so far fallen on deaf ears. I was just trying to bring a little humor into the situation. If we laugh about it maybe the pain and angst of Yamaha ignoring us will eventually subside.

Mike they're only ignoring themselves

Mike , I don't share the same pain..

Fran, ever notice how hard it is to stay nice over an extended period of time? Still, it's nice to see you haven't lost your touch. Guess it's a "Philly" thing .

Yo,

chas

What I want to know is, if this thing is out next month, why is there still no official Yamaha demos?

because the s900 has been held up due to some "problems"... my yamaha guy would not confirm hardware or software, only that shipping was delayed by about 6-8 weeks..

Showing at Summer Namm then a
Xmas release

yep!!

Yes. If you look at all the YouTube videos it is mentioned when it is a S700 and when it's a S900. The S700 is the left keyboard and the S900 the right keyboard (for Peter it's the other way around )
