SX-900 on stand with Genos.
Great Keyboard. I got this as a Genos back up.
The only thing what I miss is MIXING onboard and external samples.
I hope Yamaha will add that options in next update.
I really don't like to compare my Yamahas to other branches but this options is already in KORG PA: 700, 1000, 600, 800 etc.
As I said the SX-900 is Really great keyboard but this is a big "Missing" for High level cost keyboard.
Best regards

Have you loaded in your external samples from YEM into keyboard.

Yes.

Do they play OK when you try them. If so what is the problem you have with mixing them in R1,2or3 with on board sounds.

1.If they created ONLY from external samples they can be loaded in SX-900 and they play good.
2.If they created from internal Tyros/Genos voices they CAN'T be loaded.
3.If they created from internal onboard+ External samples (MIXED) they CAN'T be loaded.
All three above working in Genos/Tyros5 and only 1. working in SX-900
2. and 3. working only in Tyros5/Genos and Yamaha call that: SPECIAL FEATURES for Tyros5/Genos (YEM owners manual p-23) which only for Tyros5/Genos really no make sense in my opinions.
We need 2 and 3 also in SX.
This video show 2 and 3 and working ONLY on Genos/Tyros5. NOT possible on SX-900:

Another thing what I am missing is only 8 insert effects.
I think SX-900 deserve a lease 16 "Insert effects"
Anyway SX-900 is great keyboard.

SX900 is effectively T5 repackaged, so you get the same number of insert effects that T5 had. This is a fairly common pattern with Yamaha, new generations tend to move the same feature sets 'down' a level. For example S670 (replacement for S650) was very much an S750.
You can't load packs that mix internal and external samples created on Genos, because SX might not have the same internal sample wave in its ROM. It might be possible to create packs that mix internal and external samples using only internal samples that are on SX but Yamaha choose not to. That's why they are special features :) Perhaps there is some horrible technical constraint, that would not surprise me ....

Hi DerekA
I am pretty sure if Yamaha want they can fix this easy in next OS upgrade. Look what happened with Genos from start.
Genos is now with V 2.o a total different keyboard.
