Atta boy Donny,just be happy with your new keyboard. Forget about the past. This is a brand new day, plus you are ahead of the game,experience wise.
Thanx Bernie,.....I was able to open the box and set it up on the kb stand before the party goers all get here for xmas neighbors dinner.
I am glad to say I loaded my usb genos song reg & styles and all was fine ......only thing that must be done is some volume adjustments and with the replacement of non existing sounds that are on the genos those slots have to be replaced with the existing SX900 sounds best you can....just takes a bit of time.
It was a bit awkward to get used to the small size display,
no sliders, and keyfeel, and overall different deck layout once again kinda miss that
..but onward we go.
and 61 keys again when I first sat down compared to genos,
It was easy to get thru the OS which by the way was shipped with the latest version so no need to update this time.
The one thing I have to stress to new users is take your time use your ears and initially setup the EQ & Compression settings to get the right sound you enjoy....this alone took me over 30 minutes setting up TWO different EQ & Comp setups, 1 for the onboard speakers ON alone and 1 for my powered Monitors with onboard speakers OFF,...and I will have to also when I get time hook it up to my two big RCF Jmix8 PA sound system and create
a 3rd EQ/comp setup also,....let me tell you out of the box ain't gonna cut it for the sound I need, but after a while I got it to a presentable configuration that sounds so much better then factory
..another annoying thing is that the transpose/tempo buttons are
"behind the Live Knobs" which makes it a bit difficult to reach up while playing live. Lyrics text is a bit small even at the largest setting vs Genos but no big deal when needed I use a laptop or tablet for that with the great scrolling "Lyric Pad" android app..
a nice thing on Sx900 is that on both sides there is a ridge unlike the S970 that you can easily grab with your fingers to move the keyboard around which is very helpful a good improvement design.
When I get time I will attempt to put ALL my songs from the registrations into One PLAYLIST to scroll thru alphabetically which will make live play so much easier....
Has anyone did this yet? if so would like to hear about the process,...well that is it for now I
will continue the process in the coming days and report back...
