Hi All,

I am currently using the S910 and thinking of upgrading to the S970. I am getting the S950 for much cheaper (obviously). If someone could go over what are the major differences between the two (S950 Vs S970) and is it worth spending the extra $$?

I thank you all in advance!

Out of my head

- beter dsp so it sounds much better after all
- more user memmory and easier accesible for your own sounds
- more sounds and styles
- much better screen
- deejay styles
-arpeggiator
- 2 assignable knobs... Offer a lot of realtime possibillities
- has got the latest processing inside (same as the upcomming montage)

And probably some more.... But that can be filled in by people that allready upgraded from 950 to 970

Some other differences are....

PSR S950 25 Audio Styles vs
PSR S970 40 Styles

Flash Memory for Expansion Packs
PSR S950 64 Megs
PSR S970 512 Megs only 8 times more memory. eek2

Tone generation on the String choir section, now it has several REAL human choirs that in the PSR S950 did not.
Besides the differences already mention like from 5 inch LED Screen to 7 inch TFT Screen, 2 Live controls, much better DSP (Digital Signal Processors=Effects), more styles, more voices, etc.....

Just my 2 cents.... smile

The S970 uses the brand new chip (also used by Montage, not yet by Tyros 5), hence the huge leap in the waveROM memory.
