For me, missing the aftertouch is quite significant.

I was playing "cry me a river" on all 3 of my keyboards and although the SX900 has the best style for it, without the aftertouch it sounded electronic and robotic. Both the SD7 and Pa1000 had more emotion and natural feel.

I agree after touch is an essential dynamic playing feature.
is it a deal breaker for you with the SX900?

The SX900 is a great keyboard for bashing out some quick fire styles "on drugs". It's attractive and addictive.

I still have my Tyros 4, and I will say the T4 is still the better keyboard I think - its going nowhere.

I knew the SX900 didn't have aftertouch but at the time I didn't think it would matter.. but seems it does certainly for some type of songs. But honestly... for the kind of technology it has, and so called top of the line mid range, it should have included it, its a huge oversight I think.

I don't understand the logic of keeping a Kb you don't like
and has features you enjoy playing.

For me if I am being honest the sx900/sx700
is just a S970 with a touch screen
....yes I'm playing it, it has a few not many new features
but it doesn't excite me....
I close my eyes and I hear and feel like I am playing my old S970.
Sorry that's the way I feel.

I know what you're saying but let me explain.

I have no specific reason to own any of my keyboards. I do not perform live, I do not entertain or gig like you guys here are all professionals, I am in awe of all of you. I just love music.

I am a simple home player really and I love keyboards. I play by ear and self taught, when I get it right, it sounds fantastic and it thrills me. My dad is the professional I help him when he needs and what I know. He is in his late 70s, he is trying so hard to perform like he was in his 20s, and he doesn't understand what age does do you...hey we are Italian, nothing ever goes wrong... and we can handle it.. apparently?

I am not a performer (I wish I was), but I love music. I loved the keyboard from the first day I saw that casio tone pt1? thing.. heck, my dad had the ELKA 30, that's where I learnt to play originally as a kid. That organ is always will also be in my memory !

Ok Danny I can understand its more of a collectors hobby
for you and your love of music is a good thing. Having all those kbs around the house keeps you interested and gives you pleasure nothing wrong with that. Myself as a pro player/singer we just see things differently when it comes to owning gear.
Keep up the dream and let music be your guide my friend.

Take care

Thank you Donny.

You're Good Donny - stay around! I have a SX900 unboxed, sitting in front of me. I've had mixed emotions about this and was just about ready to cut the seam when I read your topic. Now I'm really confused again. Keep playing and enjoying, no pro required

Other than price DNJ How did you like the Genos?....Thanks Harold

I must be stupid because I love mine.
