I have just updated my Yamaha Keyboard to the new SX900.
In the past I have had many keyboards going back to the old
Technics ones. The two I have at present are the PSR S950 and
SX 900. All the models that came out after the 950 including
the Tyros ones had a very poor Key Action, they rattled and
bumped when being played and its took a lot of complaints to
get this altered. The two mentioned are like a Rolls Royce when
compaired to the others. It seems that when they change the
layout they are not bothered on what is a good or bad thing.
On the SX 900 they have removed the two buttons for Country
and Ballads and scattered all these styles into different groups
In the Voice section Trumpets are now in the Brass section and
Saxophones into the Woodwind, it just makes things harder to
find. They have also done away with the USB Button and you
have to use the expansion button to get a menu up for this.
At least with the new touch screen you still have the option of
a button to select if you prefer. I am a bit long in the tooth and
old fashioned to welcome changes that in my opinion did not
need to be changed, I found nothing wrong with Music Finder.
My advice to Yamaha is to get someone on board who knows
what the older end Home user Keyboard players like to use.
