YAMAHA PSR SX-900 ARRANGER WORKSTATION

The PSR-SX900 is the flagship in the PSR-SX Series. Surpassed only by the Genos, this power-house songwriting and performance keyboard features never before seen speaker technology, pro-level connectivity, and a completely redesigned user interface.

Yamaha’s PSR range of keyboards have been popular around the world for decades. And for many keyboard players a PSR will have been the first step on their musical journey. Indeed my own first real interest in keyboards started with a PSR 70 way back in 1985. Basic by today’s standards it was quite impressive for the time.

Of course we have come a long way since then and the PSR range has grown and developed year by year. Today’s PSR is a sophisticated arranger keyboard lineup right from the entry level through to the new top end PSR-SX.

So, what is the PSR-SX? Some are calling it a “mini Genos” but for me Genos is a separate product line that, yes certainly sits at the top of the arranger keyboard tree but is in a class of its own. There are of course influences from Genos in the new PSR-SX as tech tends to filter down over time but but these keyboards are very firmly in the PSR family.
