I think Harold wants a genos?

Dave/DNJ...I was really thinking about maybe buying the Roland RD-88 Stage piano to use with the SX-900 only 25 lbs...I want to use Midi to connect the two, no computer use...I also gave thaught on buying the Gheno's MX package providing the genos Pianos and more Styles for My SX-900. And what DNJ knows, I would Love to have a Genos at some point in time...I think it would cover what I'm wanting with one Keyboard...Thanks Harold

Seems like Harold your a piano player
that wants to play along with some styles..
good luck in your search...I hope you find what you need to be happy.

hmmmmm!

Too bad Yamaha fights about marketing...other wise we could have a Genos with a 88 Hammer action.....not everyone wants a big non-portable Clavinova....

This is what I emailed Yamaha:

A few PSR Tutorial forum members have been reporting that the PSR-SX900 does not completely boot up, and freezes at the Yamaha SX-900 Logo. Nothing works to correct this problem including a hard or soft reset, or upgrading/downgrading firmware. It also appears this major problem has been narrowed down, and somehow related to the "Favorites" folder. Members have stated when saving to Favorites caused the freeze, although not 100% that is a reason

Owners, (like me), of this keyboard are now fearful of a "frozen brick" PSR-SX-900. Obviously this "boot up" flaw needs to be fixed, and concerns, and fears addressed. Otherwise, The SX-900 is a great keyboard, and we are confident that Yamaha will give immediate attention to correct this problem on the newest arranger keyboard, the PSR- SX-900

Thank You

This was the reply email from Yamaha:

Larry,

I reviewed our service website and did not find any known issues regarding the boot up or using favorites process. Yamaha is not aware of any defects at this time. Keep in mind when you see issues like this in forums it easy to assume the issues are related. However they often do not provide enough information to jump to that conclusion.

If you are experiencing this type of issue please let us know. We would like to gather more detail regarding what you are doing when this happens. We may even gather a backup file and test it on unit we have available.

We encourage anyone else who is having this issue also to contact us so we can troubleshoot with them and determine a solution.

Please know we do appreciate the information you provided and even if you do not own the product this case is documented under the product model PSR-SX900. We keep track of the cases to help find any potential issues.

Best Regards,
Desmond

Not sure how I feel about the reply

I haven't had the booting problem you've experienced. Maybe because I haven't used Favorites. Nor, will I use Favorites until the issue is addressed. But, I did write Yamaha about getting multiple error messages requiring shutting down, rebooting and having to delete the apparent registrations that triggered the error. Based on PSR Tutorial posts, others have also experienced the same problem. Desmond responded to me, much the same as he responded to you. It didn't feel like a serious concern to him.

I haven't had the boot up problem either, but my email to Yamaha was for those that had the SX900 actually freeze at the logo, supposedly from using Favorites. I didn't want it to happen to others, including me I'm starting to think that those few affected either tried something crazy, or they just got stuck with a lemon. It happens.

I'm glad you reported the delete registration / reboot thing, but there might be a reason why the SX900 does that. Maybe it's just a cautious aspect of the keyboard that protects the software from infectious registrations.

Either way, it's good to let them know. We'll see what happens

Could this be due to the touch screen in some way?

Larry - no problems to report from my end either (knock wood). I will tread carefully and at this point, have no intent to attempt any Favorites fun until I get some more details if there are any in the future. Thanks for contacting Yamaha. I would guess if they know of a problem causing board replacements, they would quickly develop new firmware to prevent the sequence of actions causing those problems... just thinkin'.... anyway, enjoy the SX900 (as I do) and thanks again for your action!
