To my ears, the drums and voices in general sound clearer, more detailed and brighter than the Tyros 5. You did indeed make the right decision!

Has anyone heard of EQ? You can make it sound any way You want to...

Graham, as you know, when it comes to keyboards (and other things), the choice is a balance between what you'd really like, and how much you're willing to spend. Many here use the phrase, "Band-for-the-buck".

There are differences of opinions, and that’s always good.

I bought the Sx900 because I like the sound, and the NEW TECHNOLOGY. Each time I walk away from the keyboard I find myself smiling; I made a good choice.

I need more time before I can my opinion. I would not step to a Genos because of size and money. Do I have the extra money? Yes, it has been aside for this purpose. If I should decide to invest more money, I would buy another Sx900. Can you imagine what could be done with two of them. Can you imagine what they would look like? arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

You're welcome! It's the best feeling when you buy a high-priced item and you get confirmation that it was the right choice. And it's the worst feeling when you discover you made a mistake. In your case, it's the right choice!

Plus one! I had a Tyros5 yea it was a nice board but it came to a point I left it home and gigged with the Pa4x.

I'm with John C too each time I walk away from the SX900 I smile.

I don't have a T5 but I still have my T4.

The only thing the T4 has over the SX900 is possibly the keybed & selected SA2 voices but other than that the SX900 is superior in every other way.

The SX900 is the best value for money keyboard out there in my opinion, strip the Genos of some of it's features that most people possibly wouldn't use anyway and you are left with almost the exact sounding instrument with a few exceptions that the Genos exclusively has.

I am with Rikki and I know i definitely made the right choice. If anything, if I bought a Genos at such a high cost only to find Yamaha releasing the SX900 which sounds close for so much less I would have been annoyed, instead I am ecstatic !

Best value for the money is the Korg pa1000. Way more features and about 400 euro cheaper.. From Yamaha the best value for the money is the modx synthesizer. Ofcourse this is my opinion.

mine is better then yours just never stops....it's a disease.

+1 on that! The key is to pick an arranger that meets your preferences (size, weight, "personally" important features, sounds, and styles) and then focus your efforts to capitalize on that keyboard's strengths. Today's arrangers are all high quality - and all are capable of generating amazing results.
