With genos it was the same thing. A leaked image and rumors began.
I think it's a marketing ploy that Yamaha makes and does very well.

I fully agree.
Past keyboards: PSR E313, PSR E413, PSR E433, PSR S550, DGX 640, upright piano.
Now: DGX 650, Casio CT-X800.

It is hard to believe Genos2 will come soon.

The new PSR-S version first and in the meantime new Genos updates to be expected, I guess.

Are all these Specs Correct according to Mr. Kaye???

R1, R2, R3, L keyboard parts (vs. R1, R2, L only)
8 insert effect slots

Strange, how come the SX900 will have the same number of voices of the SX700??

According to Mr Kaye specs, the SX700 even have the same amount of expansion memory:

There are some pictures in the new Jeremy See's video.
I don't know if they are true or not but at least the psr sx900 logo is written in the proper way and the photos of the instrument are not identical to a Genos.

Ok, so far we have

* three Right Parts (R1, R2, R3) instead of two
* revo drums
* chord Looper

So this is a good advancement.

And we still have dedicated Buttons For Voice and style categories. I liked this very much on my S970.

I would say the PSR-X series is to the Genos like the MODX series is to the Montage.

Not everything will be included, as the keybed and perhaps some superarticulation voices, but a large part of it will be and at a lower price.

So kudos for Yamaha and congratulations to Genos owners as this paves the road for software updates for Genos

Chord looper - You play a series of chords in live play and it keeps playing them for you when you stop. Can be used for several things including solos, improvising etc. useful to allow you use both hands to play the lead lines or solos because lh part is being played for you. Sequencer is the more technical name but the same thing.

With loop using chord sequencer just set it up and play something like F Dm Gm7 and C7. These four chords will then play continuously until you stop the loop. Very good for practising.

OK,

Now I'm convinced this the real deal.  I'm disappointed that there are only 2 Live Control knobs though.  But if Yamaha made the Live Control available via a foot pedal that would be very nice. Sounds like the key-bed is an upgrade too!

I also like that there is still a lot of Panel buttons and not just a touch screen.  We get the best of both worlds that way.

The PSR sx900 really is a baby Genos after all (surprise, surprise)

BTW... All those dedicated buttons offers the opportunity for arranger/Cubase Integration.  Thru software, the keyboard could sync to Cubase and assign specific buttons to remotely operate Cubase from the keyboard.  It could also be done via the touch screen... maybe even better with graphic displays on the keyboard screen. 

The thing is that Yamaha released a "style template" for Cubase years ago.  If Steinberg would add a CASM function to Cubase, (Yamaha owns Steinberg) then Cubase could become a better style Creator than we have in our keyboards now.

The voices have also been modified, the Organ Flutes category has been deleted and the Plus category must have been incorporated into the others.

Yes, you are right, but on Genos they could use on-display (virtual) buttons and/or assignable buttons. Not so clean, but for sure better than not having the function available!

Even other option could be using other buttons on a secondary function, even if not shown on the labels... Software could do any way the programmers decide. Let's hope they think it is an interesting function for the flagship arranger. I think they will.

Another new function seems to be “tempo reset” which hopefully sets the beat to the start of the measure. It’s on the “tap tempo” button shown on the pic above.

Judging by these first information, I am enthusiastic about it. There are a lot of big plusses for me.
My advancing insight into my exploration of the Yammies offers more and more guidance on what I expect from a keyboard and what I can / want to do with it. Based on the first information, the SX900 version seems to come very close. This is of course a very personal wish list and certainly does not diminish the choice of others for their keyboard.

I am curious about the missing information on: the polyphony, the price, the usability and readability of the 7 "inch screen, how the keybed feels. But that will soon be clear. I will definitely try this version when he is in the dealers' shop. As it looks now, it's a serious chance that it will be a replacement for my 975?
My best regards,
Ton

Your can paint it red or gold and put a touch screen and many other additional fluff but at the end of the day it’s down to how it sounds

Yamaha has a history of using the exact same voice sample for years and years right back to the 3000 just adding a little bit more FX

If it sound like the S975 then I’m out.

If it’s more like the Genos sound then I’m in.

We wait and see, or, wait and hear.

Regarding the chord sequencer, for some reason Roland didn't put it on their latest arranger, the EA7, even though they have had it on previous models for many years, and pretty much invented it.
Korg has had it for a long time too, but they finally issued an update that lets you save a CS to Songbook.  The new free styles they have released even have Chord Sequences associated with them from the factory, although of course you don't have to use them, and they can be overwritten, as can everything on Korg.
I'm hoping the new Yamaha will allow saving the CS to a memory.
It's a VERY useful function for live play, freeing up the left hand for easy use of the joystick and other functions.

Thank you for your explanation and practical insight. When I had the Genos I had always the feeling that I needed more hands to handle all those buttons and sliders. As you described the CS function, this could be very 'handy' ;-)). Thanks

I know that Yamaha keeps certain things for their big flagship only, and thats thair policy, and will not be changed. But for me, having no car, dependent of people to drive me and my gear to a gig, it would be VERY handy with a keyboard that really was a mini version of the flagship in that it had scat and choir voices and so on. As for upgrading my 975, I don't think I will do that. I really love it, and have had it only 7 months, with its wonderful buttons and all :)

All those styles don't belong to the same category because the only thing that have in common is just a slower tempo.

As I said before the new SX series look to be nice instruments with impressive new features.

Much depends on the final street price ... it would be wonderful if the present prices of the S-serie could be continued but that wish might be a bridge too far, I guess.

I expect a consumer price increase of approx. + 15 to 20%.

Hopefully my estimation is completely wrong. 🔔

I agree in part. The ballad category has always been a special category, like Country that has also been dropped.
But, as I said, yamaha must have organized differently and we will then evaluate.

I paid 1900.00 USD for my S970... so a couple hundred more for the sx900 would be a bigger bang for the buck in my opinion. Which is typically the case with each new keyboard released.

I'm waiting for the official announcement from Yamaha and a Youtube demo.  It's sounds good on paper... but I want to get the facts before I make a decision.  I've got to sell a few of my unused MIDI gear to pay for the thing anyway; so I'm not in a hurry.  I won't be one of the first to buy.  I'm interested... but don't want to get too excited about it.  It's just a keyboard you know.

I realy like all this informations so far.

In Next SX I would like to se also :

1. "Terca"

2. Tempo reset

3.Minimum 6-8 SONG Single Repeat mode positions (now is 4)

4. Posability when SONG+STYLE play same time when SONG is turned OFF (Style continue play at that moment) and than Turn back ON again style continue play.

I hope.....  :)

Regards
