That's what I said. After editing at least. Thanks!

And the eagle has landed. Dickie is doing a nursing home until noon, and then we'll open the box.

Don I'm sure in a couple of hours you will have a full review of the sx900 good and bad no need for three days by a pro like yourself.. Everyone awaits.

No way to do a full review on a new arranger in a couple of hours. I would bet anything that some of things you didn't like about it could be easily corrected by changing settings.
Talk to ya later.

Hi Don,
be interested on your thoughts on the country styles.
I was doing a side by side comparison between my psr S950 and the sx900 versions, the styles sounded more realistic, possibly because of the guitars?
May have already sounded that good on the 970/975, didn’t own those.

Taking my time learning the new functions, song list function, never used Yem before, the buttons under the screen , ie deciding what to assign to them, haven’t gotten round to chord looper yet or the audio pads.
Lots to learn if I want to get the most out of it, if not, I can go back to pick a style, pick an ots and play. Haha

Be interested in your thoughts ( along with everyone else no doubt) when you have the time.

We spent a few hours with it. Dickie loves it. Mainly because it plays MP3 plus CDG files (Karaoke).
The keys are just right, light but responsive.
The onboard speakers are excellent.
My old "stuff" loads right in, but some adjustments will be necessary.
The drums are better than previous PSRs. Great Pedal Steel guitar.
Like others, I hate that the organ leslies are immediate. Korg, Roland and Ketron have all got the organ stuff easily bettered.
I hate that there isn't a light to indicate when vocal harmony is engaged.
I will explore styles and sounds more as I get time.
I was unexpectedly called in to work tonight, so no more time right now.
Enjoying by EA7!

Don thanx for the partial review, can't wait for more indepth thoughts,...
getting called into work when you're a musician is a good thing.
Buying an sx900 just to play karaoke and MP3s is kind of odd?...I hope he is playing it too...
but I agree with you on many of the things you reviewed
as I found the same things on mine very quickly...

Don, according to Telmo...all the Yamaha audio styles are available for free on the Yamaha website. (If you’re interested).
