How do the two keyboards Keybeds compare? Are they close to being the same?...Thanks Harold

Two very different arrangers...
Feature wise and navigational layout
I will leave the answer to Fran Carango to explain..

Both keybeds are fine for me. The Yamaha is slightly different, maybe the Roland is a trifle faster. Not much difference really.

Thanks Don...Good Honest answer...Guess I should have said...Any Differences in the two...I know they both are Excellent Arrangers...Just wondering if they are close in key feel. Harold

I think they are pretty close. Piano players would most likely prefer semi-weighted action. These are not, but they both fit my style of play very well.

Thanks again...For my use a 76 key semi-weighted, because I love some full Piano use...In order to get that I guess the Genos is about it at this time....A lot of $$$$ though. The Korg 76 Pro wasn't to My liking. JUST ME... Keep saving I guess.

Why didn't you keep the bk9... Great keybed?

Was not for me DNJ. Ted LOVES it and that's most important. Maybe I'm getting ready to hang up my Gun! Hope not...Harold

Harold I don't want to hear that about quitting music keep searching maybe it doesn't have to be an arranger keyboard there are so many nice units out there take a look at Nord, Kurzweil, etc,

Hi Harold,
ever considered a digital piano?
Can’t believe the variety available nowadays.
Portable , with or without arranger functions.
Consoles with arranger functions ranging from simple bass and drum , thru to full fledged arranger.

Personally I wanted to try a bit of piano playing again, away from my arranger, so I bought a 73 note portable p121 just to see if I enjoy it. It also has some simple bass and drum patterns.

At this stage I haven’t bothered trying to midi my sx900 to the piano , might get the necessary bits to do it down the track.

Hi Rikki...Thank You for responding. The Yamaha P-121 is a Excellent Portable Piano. I believe Uncle Dave Loves his also. A beautiful 9' Yamaha Grand sound. My wife plays Piano very well. She had a lot of lessons years ago. I'm a self taught person, started on Accordion When I was 10 or 11...But I Love arrangers also. I do have the new casio PX-S1000. It has the stunning Steinway Humberg G. Sampling. Awsome Action. I guess I could use the PSR-sx900 or Roland EA-7 With it. The only thing the Hammer action is hard on My aging fingers. But Maybe worth a Try. I guess I would only be using the Piano maybe 20% of the time...The rest Spliting the left and right most of the time on a arranger. I'm In no hurry at this time. Waiting for more reviews of the SX-900...I see nothing but good reviews at this time. Again thank You....Harold from Western Pennsylvania USA.

Hi Harold,
I haven’t really played piano in over 20 years. I do like the heavier action, figure it might help strengthen up my fingers again. One can hope. Haha

I had the korgs, but I also had a psrs950, which I never played up till about 3 months ago.
Did not like the action on it at all. I changed a setting which helped a bit, but for me not that great.
Anyway , swapped it for an sx900, quite happy with the action on it.
No opportunity to try Rolands 6 to 7 hour drive to nearest dealer.
Hopefully you get a chance to try both and see what feels good to you.

There is always the piano/ midi option, for the occasional playing.

My brain automatically goes to the midi option ie piano as controller for keyboard, but, Uncle Dave suggested you me why not just use piano for melody, chords via the keyboard. Ie like an organ setup. There again there are also those 8 chord loops in the sx900, haven’t gotten round to that one yet. They can play the chords, I have both hands for piano.
Been busy selling off 3 of my keyboards to try and make space for the piano and s x900 in the same room. Haha

Good luck with your keyboard hunt.
