Yamaha PSR-SX920 Workstation Keyboard

General

For any musicians, writers and performers who find the Genos 2 just a bit too pricey, there's the PSR-SX720 and PSR-SX920: two outstanding sonic machines with the same high-grade Yamaha Genos 2 DNA. The Yamaha PSR-SX920 is the more extensive of the two workstations, so while this model is more affordable than a Genos 2 flagship, the mass of functions, options, sounds and potential still just as impressive.

The Yamaha PSR-SX920

The sheer quality of this instrument lies in the standard of the sounds and rhythms that come on board - and there's enough of them to keep you busy for decades. The library amounts to an insane 1,500 sounds, including Yamaha's own CFX concert grand piano, and all of it is backed up by AWM stereo sampling that supports a wide 128 voice polyphony. Dig into the library and you'll find organs, strings, woodwind, brass, guitars, synths and a stack of unique articulations. And, as you'd expect, everything sounds outstanding.

Extra Features

This is a fully-fledged arranger and workstation, so up to sixteen tracks can be layered to literally build entire pieces of music from the ground up and all within a single unit. Your own styles can also be created from scratch and a built-in sequencer has been supplied for trying out ideas and discovering entirely new ones. Because this model has been designed for performers and entertainers as well as writers, not only a microphone but a guitar can be directly plugged in and, while the control panel has been filled with tactile control elements, the spacious full-colour touchscreen planted in the middle grants quick and intuitive access to every option and every function, completing a streamlined and ultimately powerful music-making and performing partner.
