Does anyone have an idea regarding the speaker system on the S970? Is is the same as on the S950? as the ones on the S950 sounds very tinny. Have they made any improvements there on the S970?

Except for the larger display they are almost identical for the most part,..S970 audio styles sound a bit more refined then previous on the S950. A few mega gutars are more active within some styles.... But aside from that not a big difference at all. Hoping to see what becomes available from Yamaha next release with
TYROS 6 (?) or S series units in the future. Like I said at this point sound isn't an issue anymore IMO they all for the most part sound really good it's all about the navigational features, and design, weight, keybed, tilt display/size, inputs/outputs positioning, knobs & sliders, VH,.


Regarding the keybed of the S970, I read on some forums that it's better than the S950. Can you confirm this?


I never touched a S970...but I dont think the keybed was changed? ..... but I could be wrong.




Thanks for your response, Donny.

I had the S950, own the S970...

Biggest differences, and they are significant to me:

Larger screen

Active control knobs...use them all the time

Bigger on board memory

Audio styles...sound excellent live

VCM...love this feature..a person can really shape voices with it

Speaking of voices, it does have human voices...sounds pretty good

Multipads...I like the way the multipads are organized...makes using them quicker and easier.

When I had the S950, I used it for backup and took the Tyros to gigs....10 - 14 a month.

Now the S970 is my main board and the Tyros stays home most of the time.
