Hie.. i\'ve always been a yamaha fan, but today as my keyboard suddenly decided to die on me, i shifted my attention to my newly acquired toy the Korg PA1XPRO. at first i was a bit skeptical about it since i\'ve never used a Korg before, but 10 mins into the keybaord and i was in love, everything about the korg is so good, better than the yamaha, off-course the yamaha has its signature stuff, but then the style pattern on the korg is simply amazing the drum loops are damn realistic. Also that it surpasses the yamaha when it comes to asian instrument tones. over on day 1 i am pretty mind blow with this keyboard, and its a very good but for all those in-between artists, rather than buying a tyros or a S900

PSR-S500B rubbish : Yamaha PSR Series Keyboard PSR-S550 (Black)

Hi I have purchased this keyboard and am very disappointed as i believe that there is a substanial difference between a 16 track recorder as compared to a sequencer as Yamaha puts it . Also EQ 67-69 is said to be adjustable but really cannot . these are just few of the problems ive come acrossand will undoubdtely find much more as Yamaha confirmed that the EQ is unadjustable despite the manuals description . About the sequencer issue , they just wouldnt reply . Very bad product from a Manufacturer with the most poor if not non existant after sales service

I bought this for just over 400 at Xmas. Some excellent sounds and styles. Excellent speakers. Misleading with the mixer bit, however, you can change a lot of parameters but you can\'t change voices. Seems to have a minor bug initially recognising midi files on USB sticks. XG voices not as good as say a MU80. A fun keyboard but definitely not worth paying 600 for.

Casio WK 500 : Casio WK-500

I decided to buy a wk 500 for many reasons. The first and foremost being that there is a 3 month wait for the new Nord Electro. I needed something that covered strings and synth sounds to back up the Nord, as well as something portable and cheap for practice/ composition. So how good a job have Casio done with the WK 500? First and foremost this is an entry level keyboard or back up. At this price you should expect no more. The keys themselves are lightweight plastic. Flimsy feeling but quite playable. They do feel cheap compared to more serious instruments. The inbuilt speakers are adequate but not indicative of the sounds you hear when plugged into a decent amplifier. The sounds themselves are quite good for the price. Easily layered and/or split with minimal fuss. The 32 performance presets are great, but require 6 D cell batteries to be fitted in order to retain your settings. On that note you MUST buy a power supply if you intend to play for serious amounts of time. Built in lessons and auto acompaniment are ok but show this keyboards true market target. Beginners and occasional players. All in all I am quite pleased with this unit. It\'s an honest instrument for the price and is built well. Capable of holding it\'s own in band situations but limited in sound flexibility. I would have given this keyboard 5 stars if it had a stronger effects pallet, but thats probably just wishfull thinking on my part.

With limited experience on a quality arranger, I was pleasantly surprised when my Korg Pa2x Pro arrived yesterday morning. I owned a Yamaha DGX-505 for the past three years and had gone about as far as I could go with it. The 76 keys experience was new for me, as I have played acoustic piano for over 55 years (I miss that low \"C\" when chording with my left hand, but other than that, I\'m OK). I struggled with the manual and the video disk on Day 1, as I could not get style play and the right hand keyboard to sound together, At 2 o\'clock this morning, I realized by reading the manual that there was a drawbar to choose a balance between style accompaniment and the right hand keyboard (a tip in the instructions would have saved me a day of frustration). On day 2 of ownership I am discovering many great features: 1. I love the acoustic piano feel of the keypad (white and black keys are large enough and the semiweighted action is OK) 2. Piano, guitar, and organ sounds are about as authentic as they can be for an electronic instrument IMHO. I don\'t have high expectations for strings, brass and woodwinds from an electronic instrument, therefore I was not disappointed. 3. The fills and variations are interesting and relatively easy for a new player to access. 4. I have not tried the voice processor, but am looking forward to plugging in a mic and adding harmony to my voice, doing some recording of my voice and the Korg. 5. Interestingly enough, with all the variations readily available, I feel that I can match the quality of the \"demo\" songs on the second day, something I never mastered with my Yamaha. 6. The more I play my Korg, the more certain I become that I made the right choice. 7. My only recommendation is to make the manual a bit simpler for new owners (perhaps an easier quick-start guide might be helpful).

First impressions - PSR-S900 keyboard : Yamaha PSR S900

Wed, 28 May 2008 21:29:08 +0000

User: Simon Williams
Rating; 9/10
This morning I took delivery of a Yamaha PSR-S900. I needed something lighter to carry to church and practice sessions, something with onboard speakers but without sacrificing too much of what the Tyros 2 gave. Well, after unpacking the keyboard and delving around the box for the accessories, I was very pleased to see a 'proper' separate switched mode power supply instead of a 'brick in the wall' power supply. The PSU is similar to a laptop, small and light and reassuringly good quaity. Finish on the S900 is amazing, my wife said it looks a baby tyros 2! Nice clean panel, no lettering on the buttons (phew) and no coloured buttons, although the in-built LED's in each button are really neat. I slotted the grey plastic music rest on the back (not quite the solid affair that the T2 provides but it does the job) and connected up my Acoustic Energy Aego M system to the line outs. First impressions when I played the keyboard was the different "feel" to the keys, more springy and a little lighter than the T2. However after playing for a few minutes I quickly became acustomed to the feel and actually found it easier to play lighter phrases and control the dynamics. I was eager to find out just how much I had lost from the Tyros 2, but instead I quickly became astonished at just how much was there! Infact all the "bread and butter" sounds were present and sounding just as good as they did on T2. Now I remember when I moved from the Tyros 1 to the PSR3000, expecting a baby T1 but the sound quality of the 3000 did seem to differ from the T1. Not so on the S900, quality sounds and punchy, clean and dynamic. Most suprising were the Super Articulation voices, infact other than the SA string sounds (which if I am honest with myself I rarely used for performance) everything I needed was present. The superb acoustic guitars, the electrics, the brass sounds... Perhaps most amazing were the presence of the power drum kits and latin percussion kits... The S900 doesn't advertise having "live!" drums but playing the power kits manually I suddenly realised they ARE multisampled and sound just as they do on the T2! Incredible! Things seem to be too good to be true! I suppose if I were to be critical, the display could do with being angled a bit more towards the player as although I can see it clearly from a playing stance, I did find myself bending forward to study the details. Nice display though and controllable for both brightness and contrast. Shame you can't alter the background colours though. Initially I found having the part R1 and R2 controls on the second row above the OTS buttons took me a bit of getting acustomed too, but now its second nature. You don't get the 3 layers (R1-R3) as on the T2, but the sounds are thick enough to work nicely with just the 2 layers. Some nice new styles too in the banks, particular enjoyed the Irish hymns and acoustic pop and ballads. Everything sounded great through the Aego speakers, punchy and tight and the cymbals decayed and rung without any sacrifice in quality. Wonder how my previous midi recordings from T2 will play on the S900? Well I quickly dumped a few dozen of the church tracks I use to a spare memory stick and with in no time I loaded them up... they played beautifully! Other than the T2's cornet being replaced now with a SA trumpet, everything sounded great! Perhaps the surprising extra for me that I was hoping for (but didn't expect it after reading the online manual beforehand) was the ability to individually name each of the registrations in a bank and see them displayed above the bank name on the main screen. I always found this a great feature on the T2 and was astonished to find I had it on the S900! Another gold star... So what was missing from the T2? Well I mentioned the SA strings, no big loss though as the S900 still has the beautiful Live! strings and also a nice symphonic strings voice. Quite a few of the pad and lead synth voices not present, but again nothing that's going to be missed sorely. Styles isn't such an issue these days as you can load banks of new ones, and the S900 has enough bread and butter styles to keep you entertained and certainly everything I used from the T2. I actually prefer the pitch bend wheel on the S900 over the T2, as it has a small projection on it (a sort of handle) you can flick it with a finger. Also felt the USB features were better integrated, particularly the direct to USB sound recorder. I did miss having a front USB port though. Until now I was listening to the 900 through external speakers and amplifier.. I was expecting nothing marvelous when I decided to turn off the external system and hear the S900 on its own internal speakers... boy was I in for a suprise! Wow! The S900 speaker system is a huge improvement on past keyboards, warm, lots of presence, the sound stage seems to stretch beyond the back of the instrument as you sit there playing. Ok it won't shake the floor with its volume levels, but the sound is closer to a HiFi speaker set up than what you would expect from onboard speakers for a keyboard! The secret I discovered is below... looking at the base of the S900, Yamaha have incorporate solid mdf wooden backs to the speaker cabinet areas within the case, and it certainly does help! No resonating plastic cases, but a warm and solid sound. Another gold star! I'm sure you can tell that I am very impressed the PSR-S900. It's quite a leap from the PSR-3000 and certainly is a lot closer to the Tyros and Tyros 2 than ever a PSR has come before. I could go on, but I've got to get back downstairs and play this thing! The S900 certainly has my recommendation, and I expect it will be the keyboard of choice for many arranger enthusiasts looking for top quality sounds and styles, plenty of features but possibly not quite to Tyros 2 level. If you get a chance have a listen and play it, I am sure you will be impressed at this price. It's a great value machine, portable and practical yet isn't a million miles away from Yamaha's flagship model, the Tyros 2. Infact if you are looking for a more portable Tyros 2 and can live without sampling and an internal harddisk ( you can connect an external USB HDD or memory stick to the PSR-S900) and aren't bothered by an aftertouch responsive keyboard, onboard compressor, individual outputs and a few extra sounds, then the S900 could be the answer to your prayers.

Brilliant entry level keyboard, I bought mine from the Huddersfield branch a month ago and since then my playing has come on leaps and bounds. Great rhythm box, loads of voices, it and very simple to work out the controls, for the money I dont think theres anything that even comes near it around at the moment.

The Yamaha E403 is a jewel priced for a poor manEURs pocket. It has all the features needed for making music but more importantly itEURs a confidence builder. It has some wonderful features that can make the beginner feel like a professional, and a professional feel satisfied by his performance. I have only sampled it for about an hour in the shop but itEURs a fantastic machine that had me floating out of the shop on a cloud of rhythm-n-blues. I canEURt wait till itEURs delivered.
