Totally agree Donny! I love playing the board w/headphones and love the recordings I get via the Mixcraft software from the stereo boards.

One thing to be cautious of when creating or adjusting styles, always check in mono. If you add too many FX or similar sounds, you can end up with phase cancellation. I’m sure Yamaha checks their mono output to avoid to much cancellation. If you get your settings to sound good in mono...it will sound great in stereo.

Hi Donny,
it is a bit annoying that the release date isn’t the same around the world.
Really bad demos might put some off.
Appears to have some great new features that my s950 certainly hasn’t got.
Pretty sure it should sound better than my s950 , sound quality doesn’t usually get worse on upgraded models.
Scenario of, sorry darling, I just made you take me for a 7 hr drive and I’m not sure if I like it or not, can we do it again next week, so I can be certain. Don’t think would go down too well. Safer to order it, and rely on one instincts that it should be better than what I’ve already got. Haha

I think we’re getting pre release jitters and doing a bit of a dummy spit coz everyone else is getting theirs first. Not Fair. Haha

or maybe people are waiting to get the sx900 cheaper when people start to dump them quick after they realize it's just a touch screened, revoed s975..... I hope not



PS and why didn't they include a TILT UP Display
with the touch screen too.....

Donny, I think Rikki is right. It’s always a little nerve racking when one has to wait to try out a new keyboard. Especially after they’ve already bought it. But like you’ve said before...”it’s only plastic with keys”. I’m sure if you don’t like it...they’ll be plenty of people interested in taking it off your hands. Korg will have something new before to long...and there’s always Ketron. Hang in there buddy...I have feeling you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Maybe your right,....but like I said I have now suspended
my pre-order for now after watching these REAL demos,...I'm in no rush....Yes there many choices,....a little birdie got in my ear for the release of a new Roland & Korg arrangers coming, and I still want to play the Ketron SD9 at Prince AJs lab soon also. Although not an arranger KB The Roland FA07 & New Fantom are impressive also.

Doesn't the sd60 have all the features of the sd9 without the extra keys?
No tilt screen on either. Korg seems to be only option there on current models..pa1000 with sd1000 combo would get all physical options and premium sounds with compact add on.

launch pad? and other stuff I am not sure at this time ...
Prince AJ will give me the full tour when I see him at the lab..

Let us know..sd60 has launch pad, same w sd90 and sd9.

Well then if they are the same it's a matter
of key size choice...personally I like 61.
