PSR-SX900/SX700/SX600 / Re: SX900 speakers fire toward audience vs older S models?

« Last post by CPAC on Today at 04:16:36 AM »

I'm still debating between buying an SX900 or Genos and looking at several criteria.  Does anyone know how the SX900 speaker system compares to the Genos GNS-MS01 system?  (Not an instrument voice comparison but just the speaker systems). 
Thank you.

PSR-SX900/SX700/SX600 / Re: Anyone tried to use Genos speakers on the SX-700/900 ?

How do the SX900 speakers compare to the Genos GNS-MS01 speaker system?  I'm not talking about the better voices in the Genos but only the actual speaker systems.  Are the SX900 built-in speakers nearly as good in your opinion??

Thank you.

I’m not into gadgets, buttons, or sliders as much as those colored lights----and bright, colorful screens.  However, I only make the plunge, when hearing the new, or upgraded styles and voices.  That’s the bottom line for me.  I guess any new toy is exciting.  I traded cars a few weeks ago.  A guy asked me...”Can I just stick my head through the door to get a whiff of that new car smell”.

Yamaha Keyboards - General / Re: Free Chord Looper Banks for download

OK, I found it on my hard drive.  It looks like I can create text files for chord progressions. 

Questions:
Is there a user manual for the Chord Looper Editor?

Is there a way (a program) to play the chord progressions on a PSR S970?

Genos Registrations & Playlist / Re: Marcos Mendez Registrations

Hi.

  Loaded them on my SX700 and for some strange reason non of them work. The keyboard recognizes them but does not load them.

Hi Dom,

The MIDI files should also play on the SX700. But note that Registration Bank files (.rgt) are always keyboard-specific and only work on the direct successor models (e.g. Tyros4 > Tyros5 > Genos1 > Genos2). As far as I know, T4, T5 or Genos Registrations do NOT work on PSR-SX models.

However, you could use Murray Best's Yamaha Registration Manager (YRM) to convert the Registration Bank files to SX700 format. Then they should at least be able to load on your SX700. However, manual changes (voices / style / effects) may still have to be made directly on the SX700.

Please note, in order to be compatible with Genos1 and SX Registration Bank files, you need at least YRM version 5.3.

For the sake of completeness: YRM V5.4 is required for Genos2 compatibility. This new version can only be received upon direct request from Murray Best.)


Best regards,
Chris

The Next Yamaha Keyboard / Re: Why do we always want more?

I think it is human to dream of more. Wnat if it could do this and that? And when I look at these keyboards, with all their blinking lights and all the buttons, I think that we who buy them and love them must be at least a little bit gadget-happy! We love to fiddle with knobs, press buttons and exprtiment to get good sound. So, when a mew gadget comes out, that can do more than the former one, well, then the temptation is too much for us Every time I got a new keyboard it inspired me to make some new music. I also imagined that I sounded better, and had become a better musician. Of course, that is to deceive yourself, but, what the heck. I have only one life, and want to have FUN out of it. Savint up for Genos 2.

So that no one has to search for long, here are the links to Marco Mendez's website and his YT channel:

>>> https://www.marcomendez.net/

>>> https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFw_6qqP6sBNZpldINq2MDw/videos

By the way, the "Freebies" link on Marco Mendez's website leads directly to a Dropbox folder in which there are, among other things, free registration files and MIDI files for Genos, Tyros4 and Tyros5 as well as sheet music for certain songs.


Best regards,
Chris
