Arranger keyboards are really underestimated for the sheer amount of inspiration they can deliver while practicing. I kind of miss my old PSR after giving it away, thinking at the time that it was no more than a toy.
@@HubertEtAlice I have no idea! Yamaha have made hundreds of different PSR models through the years. If I had to guess, my model was from between 2003-2006. I gave it away to a local charity, so I guess it found good use!
Wood Man! Incredible. Just loved it. I’ve known for months that I want a PSR SX900, but now I am more clear on what I want to sound like. That’s it. Please consider making more videos specifically about how to master arranger keyboards! I’d pay to take your course. Absolutely no one else on the web is covering that topic. You do it incredibly well. Please keep it up. Thank you Woody. A Fan!
So cool Woody, as I still have my 975 but what you presented here is awesome. You showing and playing on this is very inspirational but for now I will hold on to my 975...great board. Thank You so much for sharing all your goodies and yes these instruments are great to explore, create, and write complete compositions. Great playing.
Just genius Woody... a very good example on how to use an arranger keyboard (for those who say arrangers are not for serious musicians)... I think the SX900 is a very capable machine... just depends on who plays it... Great video!!!
Thanks Woody! These are great practice ideas I hadn't thought of. I just bought a psr e373 & hope to learn enough that I can "graduate" myself to the sx900. But my current "skills" level just don't warrant the purchase if it's just going to become a $2k dust collector. Ideas like this are extremely helpful. Thank you again!
I've had my SX-900 for a few weeks now and I learn so much from your videos. Thank you for posting and all the information you provide about the keyboard. Thank you, Donald in ABQ
The SX series has a robust arranger function. Coupled with the intuitive workstation functions and excellent Yamaha sounds and enhanced sounds it makes using the arranger function more appealing for composers and people trying to play fresh tracks. I rarely used the arranger function my old PSR function even for practice or inspiration due to the mundane output when I turned all of the features on. Nevertheless I relied on the drum tracks to help drive the rhythm. The smart chord features and better voicings on the accompaniment voices can round out some compositions or enhance an improvisation session.
Thanks for the ideas on how more fully utilize my arranger keyboard. There is a welcome overlap between my DGX 670 and the PSR 900 you are using. Have you or do you plan to make a tutorial on the Yamaha DGX 670?
Wow you're an amazing player. Re: PSR 900 SX. Is there an undo function. What happens if you make a mistake and erase something that was unsaved. Thank you. You Best.
Big hello Woody , Excellent video to share , full of all the right info for arranger keyboards and for players of all keyboards , There are so many arrangers to choose from but its not really a question of which is best ... its just how you use what you have in front of you ... so learning how to use its features to the the max will enhance whatever type of music your playing or making ... even the cheapest arrangers can be made sound damn good , I have 4 PSR keyboards ... which is good fun to play with , these keyboards are not midi linked , setting the tempo the same on all 4 keyboards gives me a better sound than linking them ... that slight delay adds more of a real feel to the music , The SX 900 is very good and you just proved that so well in your video , The Genos is just an over priced Memory Card , at the end of the day it boils down to how you play with what is in front of you and how to get the best from it and that is where practice comes in to play ... a lot of practice will make any keyboard sound good ...even the cheapest piece of crap can sound good if its played right ... a guy with two spoons can sound good because he practiced and got it right !

I’ll probably never have an ‘arranger’ keyboard..... but you’ve given me some ideas to try out on my old PSR and our digital Grand...... - and just when I was getting right back into my very huggable 70’s strat!
For a keyboard, these acoustic sounds sound phenomenal. I wish they would just have a synthesizer with these type of sounds for live gigging. The Montage doesn't sound anywhere NEAR as good as these acoustic sounds. I wonder why they put the really good samples in these arranger keyboards but nothing else.
Can you send midi into the SX900 from a VST on the computer and have the keyboard be able to play the notes and record it. I'm wanting to use Scaler 2 on the computer and send notes to SX900?
Hi woody,those first couple chords sounded totally 70s music which is great imho,I’d like 88 weighted keys,do you think this would be good with an 88 key controller?
What you did at the beginning is exactly what I'd like to do. I have no interest in full backing tracks with string, guitars, horns and all that stuff. All that makes it over done for my taste. I just want it to do drums, and I'll handle bass, keys and vocals. Toss in a real guitar player and some other instruments...nice!
Just for fun Woody, I am learning the piano (psr-sx700) and I was wondering is there a place I could go to to see witch 3 voices go together (sound great together) …When I put voices together …they really sound badddddddd …thanks
Now my Genos is looking at me and saying: "look, Woody plays nice music using the PSR-SX900 styles with some tweaking. Why don't you try it, dude?". And I am sorely tempted to try it, hi!. Thanks Woody for being so inspiring 👍👍👍
Great ideas, thanks for sharing!👍 Your Rhodes-Sound is awesome (bass as well), so could you please share your main adjustments (compressor etc.) with us? Thanks in advance and greetings from Germany!
i don't recall exactly what I did and I think I've cleared out those registrations now :/ main trick was getting rid of all the effects and just running it through one of the amp sims, experiment and see what sounds good to you!
Hi Woody cool ideas and nice playing. Arrangers are very versatile tools when you know their features inside and out. Please by all means do a video with the new PSR SX600! Also, I can’t wait for the future PSR E473, which will no doubt fill nicely the gap between the entry-level E373 and the SX600.
Ciao woody sono nuovo del forum, ti chiedo se hai avuto occasione di provare la Korg PA 1000….? A tuo parere questa Yamaha psr sx 900 e’ migliore??? Thank (David)
Thanks for these arranger based demo's Woody. I'm not an 'arranger' guy, however unusually for me I just bagged a (seems rare in market now) Casio MX-Z500 which was back in 2016 their flagship 'synth arranger workstation'. Purchased for standalone song ideas/creations with a great feature set, inc. Hex Layers for some big patches. So your suggestions here are as to approach these arranger keyboards, very helpful! 😎🎹🎶👍🍻
4 роки тому+1
the MX is the bomb with its Hex layer and samplepads
@ Hi! Thanks for your comment - not really spent that much time with the MZ-X500 since purchase, but intend on learning it more end of this holiday break in to the New Year 😎👍🕛🎆🍾🥂
practice idea 1 sounded a cross between queen and simply red, after it was DXed, practice idea 2 the drums sound very close to madonnas La Isla Bonita,
Don't you hate it when you ask these guys a question and they don't answer? I'm not woody but at least I'll answer your question. I'm a beginner too and I have this exact keyboard psrsx900, and I love it but there's a ton of learning either way you go. But for the price and quality it's unmatched. Just be prepared to learn learn learn. Study what it does, watch videos. Best advice I can give you. Good luck!!
@@blue-penguin_inc thanks bro for your rply.. i have already purchased SX900 and loved everything about it.. still a long way to go..thnks n all the best for your learning... \m/
no, but the keyboard is able to scan the entire keyboard to figure out the chords. works quite well, but you will have to adapt your playing to help it a bit.
I sold it last week! The SX900 is an amazing arranger in terms of everything EXCEPT its keys were noisy. I had a few keys (F4, G4, E6 and another key I don't remember) that were loose with unbearable physical noise. As a result, I couldn't feel comfortable while performing especially when I perform fast slide techniques using the organ voices. I even can hear the noise in this video. Software-wise, it's really good arranger but Hardware-wise, bloody cheap plastics everywhere.
Have you heard of Dexibell pianos? They are very nice, as far as I am concerned. However, I would not purchase one as my plonking chord playing just would not do such a nice piano justice.
Thanks for your cool video. Perhaps the free web application AI Fingered Tutor could be helpful for your audience. It shows all possible ways how to play chords using Yamaha AI Fingered mode. This is especially useful if somebody wants to learn how to play more advanced chords like e.g. C 6/9 oder A13 or slash chords. Just google for it.
These arguments usually come from people who play zero notes, sequence all their stuff and just turn a couple of knobs every now and then during their "live" performances. Arrangers are great because you basically get a band to play with in real time, good for both prattice and performing. It's immediate fun, the next best thing after playing with other people.
Well....this is a lovely alternative to the $,6000 Genos and undoubtedly the most pristine offering in the PSR line to date.Still though,Yamaha really disappoints with their lackluster sequencers(no editing capabilities,so in essence,the PSR's recording is not a song sequencer....but more like a scratch-pad for laying down ideas.) While I understand that arranger keyboards are more expensive due to their vast array of auto-accompaniments,I feel that in contrast to what the Korg Nautilus offers,the PSR line is a bit overpriced.I must admit that the PSR SX900 sounds superb(for it being just a rompler engine)...however,the inadequate sequencer is a real deal-breaker for me.The last great recording tool that Yamaha had made,was the Motif XF....so the shortcomings of the PSR line is heartbreaking because I am otherwise quite taken with the SX900.
interesting, for me the psr is a real-time performance machine, not a sequencer, although it has one built in, I haven't tried it yet, but I have some plans to do so in coming weeks, so let's see how it goes... :)
@@WoodyPianoShack That's my whole point,really...arranger keyboards are indeed,for performance....so why include a sequencer in one? However....oddly enough,Yamaha markets their arranger keyboards as arranger-workstations,by calling them arranger-workstations.In doing so,such marketing-tactic-trickery attracts people like me(this is how I was duped into buying a PSR-S670.) My mindset at that time,was that since Yamaha did away with their Motif line,the song sequencer was carried over into their PSR line(except of course,that unbeknownst to me as it were,Yamaha's arranger keyboards had what they call a Performance Sequencer,rather than a Song Sequencer.In other words,the PSR's sequencer has preset parameters(i.e. no custom insert effects to an individual track and no custom loop recording with a copy & paste function.)
@@HighlandStudio91 Hello my friend, If a PSR could do everything that a Motif could do, can you name just one reason why I should buy a Motif? If it had the 88 weighted key bed and the piano sound of a Digital piano, could you name just one reason why I should buy a Digital piano? Different people would like the instruments to have the ability to do a lot of different things that other instruments already can do, but.... Anyway, you can edit many things on a PSR's Style or Song Creator, but it will take you so much time that it doesn't worth trying to use a keyboard with styles like you would use a synthesizer. If you want to create a song, you just play the song in real time and record it in 4 mins. That's the PSR series main purpose. A car manufacturer will tell you that you need to buy a 50.000$ car to move around with your family. Can you blame him?
@@Panos-Veria All of these hardware debates are irrelevant to me now,as I cancelled my preorder for the Korg Nautilus.I've been waiting for my Nautilus since February and now,Korg has delayed the shipment until June. Interesting how Korg has these keyboards available to give away to people like Woody 7 months ago and yet, people like me who are paying customers,STILL have not received their preorders.I preordered the f**king thing 7 months ago & Korg cannot even do me the courtesy to give me a solid shipment date.It's all just as well in the end though....as most of my hardware keyboards have disappointed me in one way or another.The best hardware workstation I ever had,was the Korg M3(but the expansion library set via a USB stick,crashed the OS in my M3,so I sold it.) I'll never piss away my hard-earned money ever again on defective & over-priced hardware.For the cost of a Nautilus 73,I instead.....bought an M-Audio Hammer 88 Pro midi controller keyboard,a pair of KRK Rokit 7 G4's,upgraded my Propellerhead Reason 10 DAW to version 11,upgraded to a new PC tower(Intel 7 core,1 TB SSD,16 GB of RAM) and bought a monster studio workstation desk.Hardware keyboards cost thousands of dollars,have limited sounds & memory and when they fail,you are left with nothing and you have to pay thousands more to replace them.Whereas the software you buy for you PC,lasts a lifetime and the computers have longevity & are upgradable. F**k Korg and f**k hardware in general,as I've moved forward & will never look back....
@@HighlandStudio91 So,you got that right.If you want to use "sounds","effects" and stuff you better go to your PC. Back in the '70s and '80s they didn't have PCs so they needed to use a bunch of different synthesizers for their sounds in a studio. But yet, we still need instruments with a good hardware for live playing. By the way, Yamaha owns Cubase. Maybe you shouldn't blame Korg for that trouble that caused to you, because of all the things that happen to the global trade lately. Many stores were closed and many people lost their jobs...
Please launch Yamaha genos with 61 keys because first time I saw this keyboard I got inspiration and it brings lots of ideas please launch this keyboard please with 61 keys and with same feature and it's easy to understand for every keyboard player or pro keyboard player
@@WoodyPianoShack psrsx700 I got ripped of the keys are children size not adult fingers slip always because children size keys sounds terrible to and gave us tons of music from 1920s wtf we are not two hundred yes old
Arranger keyboards are really underestimated for the sheer amount of inspiration they can deliver while practicing. I kind of miss my old PSR after giving it away, thinking at the time that it was no more than a toy.

You are a great player and such a nice communicator, thank you!
An excellent instrument, your demonstration is excellent and you play very nicely. I’m a proud Genos owner.
The SX series has a robust arranger function. Coupled with the intuitive workstation functions and excellent Yamaha sounds and enhanced sounds it makes using the arranger function more appealing for composers and people trying to play fresh tracks. I rarely used the arranger function my old PSR function even for practice or inspiration due to the mundane output when I turned all of the features on. Nevertheless I relied on the drum tracks to help drive the rhythm. The smart chord features and better voicings on the accompaniment voices can round out some compositions or enhance an improvisation session.
Finally, the ultimate 'arranger keyboards are no cheesy toys' video! Great playing, excellent presenting, and very inspiring.
I’m generally very happy with my Tyros 4, but I do lust after the Chord Looper and some of the other interactive features of the SX900.
Thanks for the ideas on how more fully utilize my arranger keyboard. There is a welcome overlap between my DGX 670 and the PSR 900 you are using. Have you or do you plan to make a tutorial on the Yamaha DGX 670?

While I understand that arranger keyboards are more expensive due to their vast array of auto-accompaniments,I feel that in contrast to what the Korg Nautilus offers,the PSR line is a bit overpriced.I must admit that the PSR SX900 sounds superb(for it being just a rompler engine)...however,the inadequate sequencer is a real deal-breaker for me.The last great recording tool that Yamaha had made,was the Motif XF....so the shortcomings of the PSR line is heartbreaking because I am otherwise quite taken with the SX900.
interesting, for me the psr is a real-time performance machine, not a sequencer, although it has one built in, I haven't tried it yet, but I have some plans to do so in coming weeks, so let's see how it goes... :)
@@WoodyPianoShack That's my whole point,really...arranger keyboards are indeed,for performance....so why include a sequencer in one? However....oddly enough,Yamaha markets their arranger keyboards as arranger-workstations,by calling them arranger-workstations.In doing so,such marketing-tactic-trickery attracts people like me(this is how I was duped into buying a PSR-S670.) My mindset at that time,was that since Yamaha did away with their Motif line,the song sequencer was carried over into their PSR line(except of course,that unbeknownst to me as it were,Yamaha's arranger keyboards had what they call a Performance Sequencer,rather than a Song Sequencer.In other words,the PSR's sequencer has preset parameters(i.e. no custom insert effects to an individual track and no custom loop recording with a copy & paste function.)
@@HighlandStudio91 Hello my friend,
If a PSR could do everything that a Motif could do, can you name just one reason why I should buy a Motif?
If it had the 88 weighted key bed and the piano sound of a Digital piano, could you name just one reason why I should buy a Digital piano?
Different people would like the instruments to have the ability to do a lot of different things that other instruments already can do, but....
Anyway,
you can edit many things on a PSR's Style or Song Creator, but it will take you so much time that it doesn't worth trying to use a keyboard with styles like you would use a synthesizer.
If you want to create a song, you just play the song in real time and record it in 4 mins. That's the PSR series main purpose.
A car manufacturer will tell you that you need to buy a 50.000$ car to move around with your family. Can you blame him?
@@Panos-Veria All of these hardware debates are irrelevant to me now,as I cancelled my preorder for the Korg Nautilus.I've been waiting for my Nautilus since February and now,Korg has delayed the shipment until June. Interesting how Korg has these keyboards available to give away to people like Woody 7 months ago and yet, people like me who are paying customers,STILL have not received their preorders.I preordered the f**king thing 7 months ago & Korg cannot even do me the courtesy to give me a solid shipment date.It's all just as well in the end though....as most of my hardware keyboards have disappointed me in one way or another.The best hardware workstation I ever had,was the Korg M3(but the expansion library set via a USB stick,crashed the OS in my M3,so I sold it.) I'll never piss away my hard-earned money ever again on defective & over-priced hardware.For the cost of a Nautilus 73,I instead.....bought an M-Audio Hammer 88 Pro midi controller keyboard,a pair of KRK Rokit 7 G4's,upgraded my Propellerhead Reason 10 DAW to version 11,upgraded to a new PC tower(Intel 7 core,1 TB SSD,16 GB of RAM) and bought a monster studio workstation desk.Hardware keyboards cost thousands of dollars,have limited sounds & memory and when they fail,you are left with nothing and you have to pay thousands more to replace them.Whereas the software you buy for you PC,lasts a lifetime and the computers have longevity & are upgradable. F**k Korg and f**k hardware in general,as I've moved forward & will never look back....
@@HighlandStudio91 So,you got that right.If you want to use "sounds","effects" and stuff you better go to your PC.
Back in the '70s and '80s they didn't have PCs so they needed to use a bunch of different synthesizers for their sounds in a studio.
But yet, we still need instruments with a good hardware for live playing.
By the way, Yamaha owns Cubase.
Maybe you shouldn't blame Korg for that trouble that caused to you, because of all the things that happen to the global trade lately.
Many stores were closed and many people lost their jobs...
Please launch Yamaha genos with 61 keys because first time I saw this keyboard I got inspiration and it brings lots of ideas please launch this keyboard please with 61 keys and with same feature and it's easy to understand for every keyboard player or pro keyboard player
