PSR-SX920 Flagship Arranger Workstation Keyboard, 61-Keys With Premium Content

I love Yamaha keyboards. I've owned them for years, and they're solid as a rock. They take a beating (or so I'm told by other musicians; I'm kind to my keyboards) and keep performing. But the key to finding the Yamaha for you is knowing what you want to get out of it.The PSR-SX600 is a great keyboard if you like to:- Play with onboard accompaniments and use them as songwriting inspiration- Create arrangements right through the keyboard without using a digital audio workstation (DAW)- Record and share your quick and dirty arrangements- Play live as a one-person band (or use tracks you've pre-recorded as a kind of karaoke)It's not meant for:- Anyone who wants to get into serious digital arranging- Use as a stage piano in a multi-piece band- Beginners or anyone just learning to play keysThe PSR-SX600 comes with tons of onboard accompaniment styles and instrument sounds. But if you find something lacking, you can create your own styles or edit an existing one. You can also import instrument sounds and styles by downloading them to a USB flash drive and then uploading them to the keyboard.Some of the styles are instantly recognizable as paying homage to famous songs. That one rock riff? Yeah, that's Bon Jovi. The piano pop style? Totally Elton John.Although the keyboard sounds decent through the onboard speakers, I have to admit to liking the piano sounds on my elderly DGX-305 slightly more. They sound more realistic and rich, which is why I've kept my DGX around for when I just want to play the piano. But that likely won't be a problem for most people, and the majority of the keyboard sounds are impressive, particularly the guitar sounds.I'm also not a fan of the SX600 keyboard action. Now, action is NOT what this keyboard is about—it's an arranger workstation, not a digital piano that's meant to replicate the acoustic piano experience. But I'd like the keyboard to feel a little more natural instead of light and, well ... plastic.All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase. I can quickly arrange the songs I write (or save settings and create playlists for cover tunes I like to play), and I'm thrilled with the SX600's advanced feature set. (Being able to play the full keyboard as a solo instrument while the SX600 intuits my chord progressions from the notes I'm playing and automatically translates that to the accompaniment is just the thing I've always wanted in a keyboard!)If you're the right buyer for the SX600, you'll get a lot of machine at an unbeatable price point.

Love this keyboard, has great sound and flexibility.

Everything about this keyboard is amazing! Very high quality

Thank!

New and good

if you're using it for entertainment and fun its great. sounds are very good, and the speakers are full sounding. but, if you need to use it with a DAW like protools, the midi interface is poor. this wasnt designed for realtime production with a daw controlling the sx. so its going back. we also had zero luck contacting anyone at yamaha, or any product specialist to help us with our tech issue.

I love it. So many choices to make on this keyboard and very intuitive considering how much it is capable of.

Why Yamaha didn't use a XLR input connector for the microphone input is a total mystery! Does Yamaha think that all mic end connectors to be 1/4"? As a singer, all the mics I've ever used were XLR for the mic input connection! This is such a frustrating situation I'm tempted to return this keyboard!
