Yamaha PSR-SX900 Keyboard - Tutorial

Hello everyone.

Happy belated new year to everyone! I hope the new decade of 2020 all goes well for you, and I look forward to sharing lots more new videos this year!
On November last year, I got myself the new Yamaha PSR-SX900 Keyboard which can also be known as a 'Compact' or 'Mini' Genos.
The PSR-SX900 was first launched on the 1st August 2019, but we didn't get our display model until September, some stock came in on October, but a massive stock came in on the 18th November last year and that was when I got mine.
So far, I am really enjoying the PSR-SX900 and have already learnt some Songs on it so expect to see some Song Covers on this Keyboard very soon!
For what this Keyboard is, it is absolutely fantastic! It has great Sounds, Styles & Features including some new Styles not found on the Genos, to me the PSR-SX900 has almost the same level of sound quality as the Genos!
On this video, I'll be doing a Tutorial of the Yamaha PSR-SX900 going through the Functions & Features and showing you how to use the different Functions & Features so you can get to know how to use the PSR-SX900 if you have this Keyboard or are thinking of getting one.
This Tutorial will also help those who have or are thinking of getting a PSR-SX700 as well.
Sorry that this is a very long Tutorial, I just wanted to show all the important things you need to know about using this Keyboard, so I will add timer stamps for each tutorial part for this Keyboard, and if you want to take a break watching this video, save to Watch Later on the video.

Enjoy!

While this is a super long video it is SOO helpful, I am learning the keyboard while its being shipped to me which will make its arrival day alot more fun. It sort of makes you wonder why EVERY keyboard company does not create a video like this I am sick of a "tutorial" video that is 15 minutes long and doesnt cover 1/4 of the features. Great job man.

I have bought my SX 900 a couple of months back it was never explored well. I’m so glad that I could hear your tutorial video which is so nice to learn more. This will definitely help me to familiarize the beauty in detail. 👍🏼👍🏼

You have the patience of a saint, to do videos this long is fantastic, nobody on here does any thing as long as you, and al ot of people won't realise how many hours off camera you have to put in working these thing out, not easy at all. Without your hard work some people would not have a clue how to work these complicated keyboards. If you thought a mobile phone was tricky try working one of these out, so helpful, keep up your excellent work.

michael,
Your presentation is getting more polished with every video. Very detailed, informative and enjoyable to watch.

[AnupKumar-invq]

Great job done. Having purchased PSR SX 700, I was loitering here and there to have an overview until came across this video. I found controls and keys quite intimidating. Many thanks indeed 🙏🌹

[winegum]

Your video has put my mind at rest in purchasing this make and model keyboard. Your video has answered many questions I still had on whether to buy it or not.

[stephenalcaide]

This is a great video man! I love how you took the time to do this. Who the hell feels like pouring through 5, 000 useless 3 minute videos showing you the 5 same things over and over. You spared me that agony, and I'm forever grateful for that. You rock!

[MrJdebes]

Thank You for this tutorial, I will get my keyboard next week. I am sure i can make flying start. I learned a lot of it. 🙂

[chriscruickshank]

Great tutorial covering all the aspects of the PSR-SX900. Having recently purchased this keyboard I found your tutorial useful. You might want to think about splitting the tutorial into its component parts so that if (for example), I can't remember how the assignable keys can be assigned, I can find this little bit of tutorial with ease. Nice work and thank you.

[banjmil]

Brilliant tutorial. I'm considering buying an SX700 so this will be a great help. Well done!

[doltoy]

I just wanted you to know that when I upgraded to the sx900 from an s950 it was complex enough that I almost sent it back. This video saved me. Thank you so much for your efforts.

[massarowibrahim]
