Enjoy!

The 3rd video clearly shows that both the player as well as Yamaha have no clue what modern dance music should sound... Just listen to some trance of Armin V Buren or Tiesto and then compare it to those styles...


This implementation of the feature is not what will sell these keyboards to new users..

NIce video demos...Honestly I thought it sounded just like MY S950 pretty much..
at least the display is a bit bigger & very ledgable.
I'm still on the fence in regards to the audio styles.

Bachus, I've heard both DJ's you've mentioned, and I agree that the PSR-S970's Dance styles and demonstrator fall short. However, I think that if someone wants to sound like those DJ's, then they should use the same equipment, and not an arranger keyboard.

In my case, I'd love to get an arranger, probably the S970, but those Dance styles don't interest me, so it doesn't matter.

I'm just glad they finally put some good choir sounds in there, and judging by online demos, it sounds very good. Now, for those of us who want a Tyros but can't (or don't want to) afford one, the PSR-S970 comes pretty close.

Even a Tyros 5 doesn't sound like Avicii

...another thing I like about Korg, I can remove all the "Dance" styles and replace them with styles I might use.

Why can't a Tyros 5 sound like Avicii? Sync a midi file to a modified Tyros 5 Techno dance style variation and custom multipads. Play right hand synth/guitar parts freely and add manual bass parts through midi bass pedals to emphasize selected bass parts to add to the dance feel.

I would recommend good subs for dance type song selections. I use JBL EON 18" subs for larger venues.

I mean with styles not a sequencer. Dance styles of Yamaha sounds very weak. Your version isn't how real modern dance music sound but more how it sounded in the 90's

If dance styles were the driving force behind purchasing an arranger keyboard, I would have never bought one. And, if the two examples above are prime examples of dance,I'm sure glad to be a country boy.
