Yamaha has launched a new model PSR-A5000. This is an oriental version of the PSR-SX900. There are Arabic scales and other features used in oriental music. See the Yamaha website.

Very interesting instrument. Thank you for pointing this out, Casper!
Best regards,

It has Revo! SFX Arabic kits. Not the watered-down version, but since the voice is branded as Revo! SFX, it's safe to assume it has wave cycling just like the Genos.

Price???

Price???
In Germany the "recommended retail price" (RRP) for the PSR-A5000 is given as EUR 2,048.

Any news when is going to be available in stores? ...
"thomann.de" says on the PSR-A5000 product page: "Delivery date unknown. Unfortunately, our supplier cannot guarantee delivery within the next three months."
>>> https://www.thomann.de/gb/yamaha_psr_a5000.htm
The A5000 is apparently available at "musicstore.de" (Germany) and "dv247.com" (UK). Estimated delivery date (to stock) is indicated with April 25 or 26, 2021:

On Amazon says:
This item will be released on May 7, 2021.
So probably at all other places too.

The keyboard sounds amazing. I will have my PSR-A3000 as a backup.
Amazon says that on may 7 the PSR-A5000 will be releaced. However I don't know if I will purchase it on that date, or as a birthday or chrismas present.
-
Is the PSR-A5000 now available to purchase? The most closest to our area in the american continent is the uniteds. However I really don't know if I'll purchase it via Amazon, since I really don't know the price in dollars yet.

It says temporarily out of stock. I just need to wait sometime to purchase it.

I've decided to think of other websites that I can purchase this keyboard as I've recently saw the same message about being temporarily out of stock or did I saw it wrong? I kind of sow another website that has that keyboard but I don't know the name of...

Like most production companies Yamaha have serious spare part ( chips ) and transport ( container ) problems. :'(
Hard to say when these problems will be solved.

I guess I forgot to post on this thread when we had stock (we received 3 , May 6th of 2021) and all 3 sold immediately, but I was able to play with one for a month.
It's not the PSRsx900 architecture, it's the PSRsx600/DGX670 architecture, with a *ton* of added Oriental sample sets added on, 2GB that acts as a hard drive and a 1 gb flash ram (that is the same as the sx900). But it's missing all the T4/T5 sounds from the PSRsx900 (and a lot from the sx700) since it's based off the sx600. But with 1 interesting quirk: it can also load Audio Styles (which aren't possible on the sx600/sx700)
Speakers are also *not* the 4 way 50w speakers from the sx900 (they sounded the same as the sx700 speakers).
It's still popular enough that the 2nd shipment still hasn't arrived (it was due in June, we're still waiting!)
thanks ckobu for the update; I'll notify my customers!

The keyboard is amazing and sound is amazing too.
Already had GIGs with A-5000 and I am very very happy.

"One of the best Yamaha keyboards knowledgeable dude - ckobu" THANK YOU!!!!!

ckobu thanks for the update! Guess I'll have to wait until next shipping. You should advize me when it comes, guys.

The next A 5000 shipment ?
8)
As far as I know it can take approx. six months before goods will be received.
It is a terrible situation and I hope and pray the arrival of ordered goods will be much sooner.
Take care, JH

Hi,
Yes, i am curious what the new succesors of sx700 and sx900 will be...
Can i trade in my sx600 or sell
-
Hi everyone.
My experience: ordered a SX900 in May 2021. Arrived... today. So we're talking about a full 5 months wait. More or less what Jeff has said. And I'm sure if I hadn't pay for the reservation price I would still be waiting.
As far as I can see you need to: 1) make the reservation with the shop; 2) the shop places your request with Yamaha; 3) Yamaha gives the shop an estimated delivery date; 4) the shop asks you to pay a reserve price; 5) you wait....; 6) you receive the keyboard. Ufff.... :P :P A long way to go, but you have to start some day.
If you dont follow this route it will be very difficult for someone, at this time of events, to get one of these keyboards on (I know...) time.
Good luck!
-
Congratulations with your new SX900. It is a great, pro arranger
keyboard.😄
I may hope you still paid the old price.
Nowadays you have to pay a 10% increase, they say.
Enjoy your new toy ! ☝️JH

Hi Janamdo :
IMHO you will not see those successors before 2023/2024 ... IF the present SX serie will ever be replaced ? That's the Question. ( Shakespeare ).
Cheers, JH

Hi Jeff,
For the Yamaha sales there will be a need for successor of the present SX serie.
Yes, "to be or not to be" ( will i ever get a new Yamaha keyboard ? ) :)
Cheers

Hi Janamdo :
We do not know anything about Yamaha's future plans.
It might be possible Yamaha will end the production of their high end arranger keyboards. Who knows ?
Due to the Covid 19 situation, the world has changed completely and the word " impossible " no longer exists.
Only Yamaha can answer that question ... wait and see and enjoy your present Yamaha arranger keyboard.
Being the World Leader, Yamaha have always produced super arranger keyboards, even the very old ones are still very good. :)
Take care, JH
-
Hi Jeff,
You are right ..we don't know yet how it is going with the computer chip production for the keyboards.
Don't know the impact of chip production world -wide, but with no sufficient chip production.. the world stands still.
I am satisfied with the SX600 and it was this choice to introduce myself to a new Yamaha keyboard again :)
Luckily the liquor store has no shortage.
Cheers

Me being satisfied still with my PSR-A3000 that I have on repair, only one part was damaged, precisely the circuit board. Still waiting for PSR-A5000's next shipping since I already I have 5 years since I bought it, then sell or trade? my two older keyboards.
-
Recently I've downloaded the voice assistant pack for my future PSR.A5000 when ever next shipping comes. Six months! for me that's a lot of time! Well I don't know, guess I'll have to wait. But I have a question. Tryed to sell my two older Yamaha keyboards but got no responce. I did it via Facebook (now Meta) Marketplace. Shall I sell those on EBay?

Hi Luis Carlos 2000 :
In one of your previous messages you mentioned you have all A5000 preset styles gathered on a USB pen drive. Am I correct ?
I think you'd make a lot of people very happy here if you could upload them all ( a download link here would be nice :) ).
Looking forward to receiving these A5000 preset styles soon ! ;)
Thanks in advance.
WHY DO NOT YOU OFFER YOUR 2 KEYBOARDS ON THIS PSR TUT FORUM ?
If your sales price is attractive and these keyboards are still in a good condition ... a lot of people ( worldwide ) might be interested.
Who knows ... Good Luck !
Best regards, JH
-
Well, my keyboards are in a somehow good condition, only some buttons are damaged.
About the A5000 styles, Exactly. I have it on a USB drive I saved somewhere. I need to find it so I will give you a link via Dropbox. I somehow test future styles in my actual keyboard as to not get desperate for purchasing another keyboard. Still waiting for a part replacement for my PSR-A5000, maybe this day or tomorrow will contact Yamaha.
-
Hi Louis :
First of all I would like to thank you for uploading the A5000 preset styles very soon.
I am sure a lot of the PSR Tut Forum members will be very grateful to you, me too of course ! :)
Are new buttons for your keyboards easily to find and to replace ? Are they expensive ?
If I were you I would make some pictures of your keyboards you want to sell and put them here for sale.
As you might be aware we have here a " Selling Section ".
Do not forget to add your lowest sales prices, including the shipping costs ( if available ).
I assume it might take a long time before you will receive your A5000. :'( I hope not !
Be sure you are keeping at least one of your keyboards. Sell it when you have received your new baby. Not earlier. It is not easy and sad to not have an arranger keyboard at all.
Good luck, Buddy !

Oh friend, oh dear, you really, really need to help me and congratulate me! My family are contacting Yamaha for the damaged PSR-A3000 part. Not the buttons, but a damaged dm circuit board. My cousin has images of my two old keyboards. I guess I'll have to contact it. After that I will see the selling section.
I hope that time shall not be long. If I wait for next shipment then I'll be more than happy.
I have to sell the two keyboards once I have the new one?
-
Sorry for double posting. My family told me that untill my PSR-A3000 is repaired, then I shall consider repairing my two old keyboards together and sell them so I shall get my PSR-A5000. I know someone estimated a time when new PSR-A5000 shipments arrive? 6 months or something?
-
If I were you I should contact the dealer to find out when your A5000 is expected to arrive.
Take care, JH

This is telling me it is an unsafe file and contains a virus. Box.com is a much better way to share things.

Hi Metcam :
Thank you very much for your PSR-A5000 preset styles.
Downloading them was a piece of cake. No problems at all. :)
Kind regards, JH

Thanks for the styles. But Im Unable to download the A5000 styles. Anyone can upload it to a better upload service?
4share is giving me a lot of pop up screens and fake download links, and when I get to download the real link it say its invalid.

Hi all,
"4shared.com" takes a bit of "getting used to". ;)
I uploaded the zip file containing the PSR-A5000 Preset Styles to Dropbox. Note: It is not necessary to register or log in to dropbox.com. Please ignore a corresponding pop-up window.

Have fun with the Styles!
P.S. Many thanks again to metcam for the original upload!

Thanks again for the styles!
Just an update. We already purchased the new circuit board for my PSR-A3000. At first the dealer told me it will take maximum 3 weeks when it comes to my country, but now they told me it will take minimum 8 maximum 12 weeks. We purchased the board in 12th november, approved 15th november.
After it's fully repaired, I'll consider repairing 2 or more older yamaha keyboards I have. My PSR-A2000 has buttons (or channels?) that are damaged, same for my S710. Once I repair them and sell them, will have enough credit to purchase it when next shipping...
I don't know if other online stores still are shipping. Amazon as I know have the product out of stock. I already downloaded the voice guide pack for my PSR-A5000.
-
Finally my PSR-A3000 keyboard with the new circuite board arrived today! Now I'm thinking of selling my 2 older keyboards when the new PSR-A5000 units arrive. Any updates besides Amazon store? That's the only way I purchase keyboards here in my country.
