Composing a Song with the Yamaha PSR-SX900 Arranger Keyboard

Sweetwater's Jacob Dupre is joined by Heratch Touresian from Yamaha to demonstrate how fluidly you can compose a song on the PSR-SX900 arranger keyboard.

Every great song starts off as an idea — a simple melody or rhythm that you flesh out with accompaniment and arrange into a finished piece. With a Yamaha PSR-SX900 arranger workstation, you'll find that magical process smoother and more intuitive than ever. Loaded with amazing instrument Voices and exciting Accompaniment Styles, creating rich music beds and fully developed songs with the PSR-SX900 is as simple as playing a few chords on the silky 61-note keybed.

I bought the Casio MZ X500 and found it exceptional, you can even record the music and vocals onto USB direct. This machine looks great too, it might be next on my Xmas list.
Edit. Two years later, Santa didn't disappoint, it's great.

I have listened to several YouTube videos demonstrating the high sound clarity and quality of various instruments. And, that is part of learning about a new keyboard. But, I am absolutely amazed at the many editing features on this keyboard. I'm sure it will take some time and experience to really learn what it was created to do. But, I can begin enjoying it by playing simple arrangements using the default settings. Thanks again Sweetwater for this very helpful video! I am a senior on Social Security, but I hope to find the money for it. Best wishes, Jerry.

Thanks for sharing! This is a very nicely design, affordable and user friendly keyboard. I bought it 2 years ago and still enjoy playing it.

Hi guys. Thanks for doing the multi track recording demo. I’m blind and purchased the PSR SX900 because Yamaha have created Voice Guide which gives prompts as to what buttons you are pressing and in a few cases, lets you hear what is on the screen when you touch it. Voice Guide needs a great deal of improvements though as currently, if you are blind and can’t see the screen, you can only accomplish very basic tasks such as changing styles and sounds. How would you recommend we blind users do multi track recording? I’m particularly interested in starting songs from scratch rather than starting with a particular style. And can you encourage Yamaha to update and enhance Voice Guide as it is true to say that I was able to do a lot more programming of older Yamaha keyboards which had more buttons and less on screen interaction. Yamaha has gone backwards in this respect. Anything you can suggest would be very much appreciated as I love my new keyboard and just want to get the most out of it. Thanks. Paul

Great video! I bought an SX900 after watching several of Heratch videos here in YouTube. I followed him since then. This exact feature demo is what I liked about the SX900. Play with the idea of a song, jam, record, refine it more until I'm ready to master it. That is songwriting simplified. You focus more on the creative ideas. Please keep it coming. Thank you Jacob, Heratch and Sweetwater!
