Something must be wrong in my EQ settings of the Korg. I took my SX900 to my weekly band event,not expecting too much in comparison to my Pa4X. I was blown away by difference in how the sound of all the instruments cut through my 12 member band.

There are other factors favoring the Pa4X,but sound wise,the SX900 was great.

Interesting report!

I sure do like mine, the sound is excellent. to me the sound IS the most important thing as I don't sing, so that instrument is missing!

Realist sound that does not have issues with them has always been my thing.

The more I play the SX the better I like it. Haven't tweeked the EQ or compressor yet...just chose one of the factory ones...OK, but when I get my SUB, I will customize one.

Feature wise, I do think Korg is better for flexibility, but I have always liked Yamaha sounds and smoothness....

Doesn't surprise me. Why I didn't choose the 4 vs the 3, after several months of mapping everything over, just didn't sound as full to me (think I'm the only one in the world with this opinion). Even using every EQ available (MAXX, etc), nothing inspired me.

Thanks for the responses guys. Whether or not I can improve the Korg is another matter,because it already is good sounding and a great keyboard. However, to have one that costs 40% less shining through in sound,with great styles also,is a big bonus for me. It's a great little board.

Hi Bernie,
Must say, surprises me. My Pa4x was long gone before I got the sx900, so can’t compare them.

Must say I do love my sx , though.

Bernie,
I have been using my SX900 for 6 weeks now for all my gigs and I really have no complaints.
Another amazing discovery - I have turned off my Bose speaker several times and used only the SX900 speakers and WOW what a job they do! Now every time I setup I test to see if I really will need the Bose or not. So far most of my gigs work well using only the SX900 speakers.

Thanks Rikki

Hi Deane
Glad to hear that since you and I play similar venues. I agree the speakers are very good for internals. I know they sound better than my PSR s970,but haven't been to a smaller room yet. I am happy to hear your success with it.

Bernie

Bernie, glad to hear you’re enjoying the SX900. I certainly enjoy mine as well.
