Scottyee Senior Member Registered: 12/01/99 Posts: 10427 Loc: San Francisco Bay Area, CA, US...	My initial guess was that the "S" designates a PSR keyboard which includes SUPER Articulation voices, but then realized: how would that explain the S800 then, which includes SWEET voices, but no SA voices. Back to square one. . . btw anyone recall what the PSR arranger kb acronym stands for? Scott _________________________

George Kaye Senior Member Registered: 11/24/99 Posts: 3305 Loc: Reseda, California USA	I saw the question and I emailed the product manager at Yamaha USA and he doesn't know either. Like Scott, I first thought super articulation but realized the PSRS700 doesn't have any Super voices. ------------------ George Kaye Kaye's Music Scene Reseda, California 818-881-5566 www.kayesmusicscene.com _________________________ George Kaye Kaye's Music Scene (Closed after 51 years) West Hills, California (Retired 2021)

ianmcnll Senior Member Registered: 07/27/05 Posts: 10606 Loc: Cape Breton Island, Canada	I'm not sure what the "S" stands for in S900 but PSR stands for Porta Sound Regular (key size)...PSS stands for Porta Sound Small.

jwyvern Member Registered: 09/06/06 Posts: 365	According to the UK Marketing Manager S (for "sound" was used as a reference label in the development stage for this series of keyboards, part of the prime objective being to concentrate on sound quality. When the product was lauched the "S" stuck. Pretty boring really. There's a podcast including an interview with the above + 1 or 2 demos here: http://www.yamahapkowner.com/?p=206 [Don't have to be a member to receive it] John [This message has been edited by jwyvern (edited 08-10-2007).]

casiobot Member Registered: 04/04/05 Posts: 132	Maybe it's just a way to differentiate between the former PSR and the new PSR line with an extra "S". And lets face it,the PSR-S900 not only sounds like a million damn dollars it is one sexy beast to boot.I mean,if you go to work on the same instrument everyday,you want something that's easy on the eyes,right?

Dnj Senior Member Registered: 09/21/00 Posts: 43703	"S" designation....it simply means there are SA voices included nothing more. The Yamaha advertising team has done it again to lure them in. [This message has been edited by Dnj (edited 08-31-2007).]

Rejected Idol Member Registered: 02/13/06 Posts: 59 Loc: St Paul, MN	Hi Guys! All the lively "S900" joking... Let's turn the channel.... What's the "G" for in G70? I'll suggest a couple just to get the ball rolling... ....how about "GROIN-RIPPING"? ....or... "Guaranteed to result in conflicts on the Synth Zone" ....or...
