Yamaha PSR-SX900 Vs Tyros5 Keyboard Comparison

Justin compares the PSR-SX900 and Tyros5 Keyboards. Both setup with the same styles and using One Touch Settings so you can directly compare the same standard settings. This video does NOT compare the capabilities of the instruments in terms of functionality/ features it is designed to give a comparison of exactly the same setting on both from the factory.

[MrVara]

This is one of the best head-to-head comparisons I've seen for keyboards... well done! After watching this video I had a much better sense of what these two keyboards were capable of. For my money, the SX900 is a far better value based on the quality of sounds/styles to my ears.

I have a PSR 9000 and its still amazing how it sounds! ❤❤❤

[Braussie]

The SX900 sounds very refined along with a more responsive system, indeed. However; hats off to the T5 that has aged elegantly. I would take any of those home 🙂

[simonhampson]

I bought a 76 key T5 2 years ago - still learning all about it - but deffo sounds ace with the volume up - picks out more of the subtleties I am finding.

[patrickrwhite]

One thing I have noticed with Yamaha is that in the newer models, you only get a teaser of an increase in more buttons and features they always bring out more in the next and the next models never all at once. If you get my drift.

[Robin_S]

Great achievement of the T5 to sound more realistic, better to MY ear, than the SX900. Still the second best workstation from Yamaha.

[dulistanheman]

Can't imagine how far mid-class PSR can sounds so good against the high-end Tyros. Amazing keyboard.
Btw, I still love my Technics KN7000 sounds and capability.

[malcolmatkinson]

I used to own a Tyros 3 and the speaker system was excellent. I cannot believe that the SX900 built in speakers would sound better then the Tyros 5 speaker system and subwoofer. It is wonderful to see professionals like Justin play, It does sound amazing, My only gripe, Is the SX 900 plugged into an external PA to give a better sound whilst giving the demo between the keyboard models.
By the way Justin your videos on Yamaha instruments are excellent and educational, With Technology changing all the time I am having trouble keeping up, Must be an age thing. thank you for taking the time to produce the demo.

With the exception of S.Art2 patches, all the presets of Tyros5 are available in the SX900. In addition, the SX900 have several Genos drums and synth patches. I am still waiting for S.Art2 to make their way into the PSR models

Although the SX900 does not have AudioStyles like Tyros5, it does have support for that via optional expansion packs.

I have a PSR S970 at the moment. These reviews are very helpful, but I guess in the end, it always comes back down to ones own personal preference. I hear and see pluses and minuses in both keyboards. I think Yamaha should have continued making the Tyros 5 whilst introducing the Genos to provide better choice.

[Soryt]

Dont forget that the T5 have aftertouch, SA2 voices, Ensemble function( its great to use), Larger Sample memory, sliders and better build overall ( even better than Genos)

[LittleRichard]

First off I will say that I don't really use auto accmpaniments and tend to do everything via midi sequencing but at the time when I was looking into buying a flagship or midrange
Yamaha arranger the only reason I considered one as a substitute or a fall back was due to concern that Halion 6 might not work if I ever had to take my old computer back to
factory reset or also concern of license transfer and also bad experience after having to get a refund on Halion Symphonic Orchestra but in the end I bought a new computer and
as I had to update my Cubase I also decided to buy Halion 6 again ( I now have Halion 7 ).

Anyway last summer I considered a number of Yamaha arrangers from Tyros 2 which was at first tempting due to the fact they are now a lot cheaper but then I decided on Tyros 3
as my base model as it was the first to feature sliders allowing more real time control over the organ flutes but each newer Tyros is an improvement over the previous Tyros even
though some people may disagree. When a black Tyros 4 was listed on EBay last August I did seriously contemplate buying it but decided not to rush as I knew I could get a Tyros 5
if the Tyros 4 was already sold ( I planned to buy an arranger keyboard for my birthday or nearer the time ). I did also look at the PSR-SX700 and SX900 and I was very impressed with
the quality of the sounds ( especially the drums ) and I'm sure I couldn't have gone wrong with one of the PSR-SX series, another advantage was that the PSR-SX keyboards have built
in speakers making them easier to move. I also looked at the Montage and MODX after somebody challanged me saying that "arranger keyboards are not just for one man mands"
( but they are really designed for one man band situations ). The Montage has some really nice sounds but the saxophones were not it's strong point and I can say the same for the
MODX but I soon went off the idea of buying an MODX. But by October I finally decided I was going to buy the Tyros 5 but sadly I couldn't afford to buy a new keyboard in the end
as I handed in my notice with immediate effect and I have been unemployed ever since and I agree that an arranger keyboard does not really suit my needs and that I should stick
with VST instruments as they tend to sound far more superior with no static noise unlike with hardware.

The Drums at sx 900 sounds more fresh and realistic. But for use at Stage i prefer the biger knobs from T5.

[musicmanmason]

The Tyros sounds fuller and sounds more realistic. The SX 900 is a good keyboard for its price. Only a Tyros player will feel the difference in feel and articulation overall

[DJIncendration]

This is tough. I'm trying to decide which one to get. The SX900 has way better drums, while the Tyros 5 has aftertouch, art switches and super articulation 2 voices. The PSR-SX900 doesn't have any of those, but there is a joystick, which I like better than the Tyros 5's wheels. The other thing I don't like about the SX900 is that it has a touch screen. Since I am blind, I can't use it. I know it is possible to get to the different voices without the touch screen, but the fact they included it is not good to me.

[MrAnurajCJ]

I don't own a Tyros but still feels like Tyros has not failed before sx900. It's still on top before sx900, may be Genos can beat it not a psr series keyboard.

[lfelipepaz]

May its a "placebo effect" but i felt the sound more intense in T5.

Das PSR SX900 und der Tyros 5 sind beide hochwertige Keyboards von Yamaha, aber sie haben unterschiedliche Funktionen und Technologien.

Das PSR SX900 ist das neueste Modell und verfügt über einige fortschrittliche Funktionen, die im Tyros 5 nicht vorhanden sind. Zum Beispiel hat das PSR SX900 eine verbesserte Klangqualität und eine erweiterte Klangbibliothek mit über 1.000 Klangfarben. Es verfügt auch über eine verbesserte Bedienoberfläche mit einem 7-Zoll-Farb-Touchscreen und eine Vielzahl von Effekten und Funktionen für die Klangbearbeitung.

Der Tyros 5 hingegen ist ein älteres Modell, das jedoch immer noch sehr beliebt ist. Es hat eine umfangreiche Klangbibliothek mit über 1.000 Klangfarben und eine Vielzahl von Funktionen für die Klangbearbeitung. Es verfügt auch über eine hochwertige Tastatur und eine intuitive Bedienoberfläche.

Es ist wichtig zu beachten, dass die "bessere" Technologie subjektiv ist und von den individuellen Bedürfnissen und Vorlieben des Benutzers abhängt. Beide Keyboards bieten eine hohe Klangqualität und Leistung, aber das PSR SX900 bietet möglicherweise einige zusätzliche Funktionen und Verbesserungen gegenüber dem Tyros 5. Es ist ratsam, beide Modelle auszuprobieren und zu vergleichen, um herauszufinden, welches Keyboard am besten zu Ihren Anforderungen passt.

19:25 - I hear the piano in the Tyros 5 sounded like someone spamming the keys when he played the chord. Did you hear it??

[kalyanarajasekharbabu]

Yamha 9000 or korg or any high professional board the player is important
