Arranger Keyboard from Yamaha!

The PSR-S900 continues the Yamaha tradition of producing top-notch arranger keyboards. With 891 instrumental voices PSR-S900 offers the player a huge sonic palette. Most of these voices are coming from high end models - including 20 Live! Voices, 26 Cool! Voices and 22 Sweet! Voices as well as 15 Mega! Voices and even 23 Super Articulation Voices included. Features such as Vocal Harmony and the powerful Bass-Reflex make the PSR-S900 an incredible live performance tool, and the impressive array of sounds available make the PSR-S900 perfect for studio work as well.

Yamaha PSR-S900 at a Glance:
  • Tons of great voices and styles
  • Display options
  • Performance features

Tons of great voices and styles
The amazing Super Articulation voices open a completely new level of sonic realism and expressiveness. You'll feel as if you're playing the real thing! Super Articulation Voices give you the unique performance characteristics of each instrument and are perfect for playing solo passages and legato melodies, intelligently adding the right expressive nuances to your performance as you play. The expanded range of Mega! Voices feature various playing techniques and performance sounds - such as finger slides and fret noise on Guitar Voices and shakes on Trumpet voices - designed specifically to enhance playback of the 305 built-in Styles. For each Style there are four One Touch Setting so that you get the perfect instrumental setting by pressing just one button. The OTS-Link-Function allows you to change automatically through the One Touch Setting just by changing the Style-variation.

If you want to play a certain song and don't know which style to choose, the powerful Music Finder feature can help. Simply select a song title or a keyword, all appropriate panel settings are reconfigured to match the genre, including the appropriate voices, style and effects. Music Finder+ also works with the Internet Direct Connection (IDC) feature, allowing you to download additional free Music Finder records and collections in addition to the wide selection built in to the instrument.

Display options
The color LCD display shows the song notation of a MIDI file (score) as well as lyrics (for MIDI songs that have score and lyric data). A special display function allows you to show text files you've created on a computer - making it possible to display lyrics for songs that maybe don't have lyric data, or for creating your own onscreen chord charts and song memos. And to get your karaoke party swinging, PSR-S900 has a Video Output so that you can show the keyboard's display on a TV or projector.

Performance features
Connect a microphone and automatically have backing singers mixed with your voice - that's the PSR-S900's Vocal Harmony Feature. A powerful Bass-Reflex-speaker system and 2 x 12 watts amplification guarantees outstanding realism of sound, whilst the integrated Network-connector (LAN-Port) ensures ease of use with Yamaha's unique Internet Direct Connection (IDC) feature. The USB to device connection opens the possibility to connect USB storage devices such as thumb drives to the instrument, giving you virtually unlimited memory capacity for user registrations, styles and songs. The USB connection also allows you to make your own CD-quality recordings at home with a minimum of fuss, utilizing the new USB Audio Recorder.

More than meets the eye...

by Matt Miley from Spokane,WA
March 5, 2008
Music Background: Worship Leader
SOUNDS
The sounds are amazing... Not just the richness of the actual sounds but also the added effects added to the sounds such as built in "note sliding" and fret noise for guitar, valve click... read more [+] and breath noise for sax, etc. The piano has a rich sound that sounds good through the keyboard speakers and great through a big system. I still have people coming up after gigs to ask me about the keyboard and commenting on how great the sounds are.

STYLES
The drum styles are SWEET... I especially like that added detail of record player hiss and crackle added to some of the retro beats. The auto accompaniment is also loaded with some of the best background pad sounds and fills that I've ever heard in a keyboard.

MORE
The recording feature has been simplified so that everything is at your fingertips on the dashboard. I haven't had a chance to explore the Karioke and Midi capabilities much but what I've seen has blown me away.

My History
I've been playing keyboards for about 20 years... However, I didn't by my first keyboard until 1994... I bought a PSR-512. Next I bought a Roland XP-80 in 1997 thinking I wanted something bigger and better... I've barely used it. In 2001 I bought a PSR-740 and have used it every week leading worship at my church. Finally I was ready to buy another one and when I saw the PSR-s900 I fell in love. As far as I'm concerned, Yamaha has done a superb job of anticipating what the customer will want. I doubt I'll ever switch to a different keyboard. close [-]

Yamaha PSR-S900 keyboard

Music Background: IN a learing proces with a lot of fun.
3K has an successor, the S900, For all the technical details look on the website of Yamaha.

For me as a player (as well on a 3K and now on S900) it is gigantic. So much in a keyboard, a... read more [+]nd so easy to use. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced player this machine gives it all. Easy menus, great voices, great styles, polyphonic with 128 tones etc.

Two points of approvement:
Display needs to have a tilt function (T2, Technics 2000) amplifying is low, only 2x12 Watt, is not that mucht but for a living room just enough.

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
