Best value for money. Psr sx 600 has all same function as psr sx700 and 900. Just the difference in touch screen and those two have more sound but styles are almost the same. Im happy with psr sx600

Finally, a real review of this keyboard. Yamaha should have sent you one of these months ago. You will single-handedly have more influence in the purchase decision making of this keyboard than anyone else on Youtube. Looking forward to more videos on this keyboard's features. Good reporting job, as usual.

I love the definition and the separation of sounds, how they sound and fit together I really like it

[franceme]

Jeremy, your reviews are so well appreciated and above all with all the necessary great information requested. Thank you for the endless time and detail that your bring to your reviews as I hope that you'll continue educating us all with what is relevant in today's jungle of keyboards as so many not worth even looking at.

I bought this keyboard two weeks ago l am very happy amazing insturment

Mine finally arrives after 3 weeks waiting. On first day, I test out with all the basic functionalities including all the extra styles (Western, Asian) I got and used on my Tyros 3. All seem to work fine.
Load MIDI songs I created on Tyros, this SX600 play them nicely, cannot tell the difference between Tyros playing and SX600 playing.
On second day, I setup MIC with my preferred vocal effect and do some audio recording, again recording quality for vocal is on par with Tyros 3.
I also setup the first Assignable button to control the volume of the right hand part of the keyboard. I did the same thing on Tyros and this helps to match the keyboard volume with rythm volume.
The second button is for reverb effect of right hand keyboard.
Pretty straight forward, although there are few operations that are not the same as Tyros3. DIRECT ACCESS is one good example.
The small screen does not bother me as I can read it very clearly. The up/down/left/right button for navigating the screen is kind of awkward to start with, but after a while, I get used to it.
Why I bought this SX600 while already have a Tyros3? It's for gigs in small areas, such as private home parties, not so major show. Tyros3 is for larger places and more important shows (in large hall or restaurants).
And my students can use this when coming for lessons instead of using my Tyros3. I use to have a KORG PA-50 for these small gigs, the trouble is that it does not have enough styles I need. It certainly does not load Yamaha styles. So glad that SX600 has the TEMPO/RESET button that the really old PA-50 already had (3 layers too, SX600 only has two layers).
I truly recommend this SX600 for folks that do not want to spend 2X that much for an advanced keyboard. Do not feel restricted by the number of styles, there are literally thousands of Yamaha styles out there to buy.
I will try ACCENT and UNISON next to see if these features are useful for me.

Whoa ❤️ The flamenco guitar took me by surprise ❤️❤️🔥 Great video as always J 👍

Thank you for your work, you are an inspiration for young musicians who can't afford expensive gear.

I am going with the PSR-SX600. Thanks, Jeremy!

Actually, ended up cancelling our order of the SX600. The super articulated pianos, the upgraded keybed and the bigger screen (and more kid friendly touch screen) made me change my mind, so I put in a few hundred extra out of my own pocket to get the SX700 instead. For me, as a hobby musician through many years now, the difference is worth it. I spent countless hours in DAW environments testing out different piano models (with round robins etc.), and I know how much difference better sounds can do to playing enjoyment. The SX700 seems like a really good compromise, without having to sell a kidney to afford it.

[ShellyAnderson]

Love the styles and variations. The guitar sound is amazing. The microphone input and effects are really great. How nice to have such smooth reverb..

[ChrisIhao]

Great review. Already purchased the SX600 (should receive next week), so for me this is just a great walkthrough of some of the features, and some of the shortcomings. Got quite a few instruments myself (software and hardware), but this one is our family instrument, so the approximate 800 usd we paid is already pretty much the max at the moment. Thus, some of the features available on the higher models are out of the current price-range. Nice to see that the SX600 gets a few unique features as well though. Cheers!

[ralphculham]

Great review Jeremy. Being a pro series keyboard its surprising that the mic input is not an xlr 1/4 combi jack. An interesting comparison would be between the Yamaha PSR-E473 and the PSR-SX600, given that the latter is 3X the cost, explaining what significant differences are.

[sohamh]

Ur video was worth the wait Jeremy.
And looking forward for the comparison with pa300

[ThePianoJourneyMusic]

Thank You So Much for the Review Jeremy!
I'll buy in probably in the end of the Year
Love Your Videos!

[happykeyboardmusic]

The mic feature is most fascinating...pop waltze music very enticing also. Great video✌

[matstokesmusic]

Thanks mate. Your reviews are fantastic and have all the necessary great information needed. Thank you for the endless time and detail that your bring to your reviews. Well done 😃😃

[jorjajorjan]

Great review.
It has so many useful things for live performance the unison, accent functions and the four main variations for the styles. Is it easy to create your own styles? Main reasons for me to go for the sx700 are: touchscreen, better keys, better speakers, better sounds, better built quality of everything. Sx600 is for sure great vfm choice though.

[caydenthepianist]

I've been using the sx600 and I love it alot! 😄
