It's disconcerting when you have the SX-900 on order, and somebody posts a video with 11 dislikes. Larry, as far as my needs go - his #11 no-nos were not a factor for me. I agree with some of his points, but overall, he's not a fan. So what? My Dad would say, "That's why they make chocolate and vanilla!" My simple conclusions: 1) It's SOUNDS great 2) It's easy to use 3) It FEELS (not great, but) MUCH improved. Very playable 4) The sound system is tight, and powerful. I can imagine using this with no external speakers at the Winery. 5) The quick record feature is awesome, and easy

Larry, the other option would be to purchase a keyboard stand that has adjustable arms, or, the less expensive method that I used many years ago was to use a couple inexpensive, rubber, door stops and attach them to the arms with wire ties at the back end of the keyboard stand - worked great for years when I was playing the PSR-500, which had a horrible glare problem. Hope this helps, Gary

When sitting and playing upright, the bottom row is fully visible to me.

Hope this helps, Gary Wow you guys are the best, I feel so much better with my order. Thanks to Donny and Steve for the PM advise too. Now I hope that Frank, a great ZONE dealer, forgives me for driving him crazy.

Hi, I can see perfectly, I am sitting down on a piano stool, leaning back, about 3 ft. From the screen and I can see the bottom part of screen PERFECTLY.
Maybe Mr See needs to do a bit more checking before making statements. Wonder if he KNOWS about the screen calibration function under Utilities. Maybe his screen is off centre or something.
Anyone who does Korg updates/upgrades I beleive would have to be aware of that function. Guess what , maybe a Yamaha screen might need to be calibrated too.
If one can’t remember what is assigned to buttons , anyone ever heard of sellotape and paper. One could easily type up a little strip with the assigned functions. And stick to it to the keyboard
The screen is basically cluttered enough without another row of icons. Guess what you, get a pop up telling one what the function is , and whether it’s on or off, when the button is pressed.
