The amazing Super Articulation voices open a completely new level of sonic realism and expressiveness. You’ll feel as if you’re playing the real thing! Super Articulation Voices give you the unique performance characteristics of each instrument and are perfect for playing solo passages and legato melodies, intelligently adding the right expressive nuances to your performance as you play. The expanded range of Mega! Voices feature various playing techniques and performance sounds – such as finger slides and fret noise on Guitar Voices and shakes on Trumpet voices – designed specifically to enhance playback of the 305 built-in Styles.

For each Style there are four One Touch Setting so that you get the perfect instrumental setting by pressing just one button. The OTS-Link-Function allows you to change automatically through the One Touch Setting just by changing the Style-variation.

If you want to play a certain song and don’t know which style to choose, the powerful Music Finder feature can help.

A special display function allows you to show text files you’ve created on a computer - making it possible to display lyrics for songs that maybe don’t have lyric data, or for creating your own onscreen chord charts and song memos. And to get your karaoke party swinging, PSR-S900 has a Video Output so that you can show the keyboard’s display on a TV or projector.

Connect a microphone and automatically have backing singers mixed with your voice – that’s the PSR-S900’s Vocal Harmony Feature. . A powerful Bass-Reflex-speaker system and 2 x 12 watts amplification guarantees outstanding realism of sound, whilst the integrated Network-connector (LAN-Port) ensures ease of use with Yamaha’s unique Internet Direct Connection (IDC) feature. The USB to device connection opens the possibility to connect USB storage devices such as thumb drives to the instrument, giving you virtually unlimited memory capacity for user registrations, styles and songs.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
The best arranger for my needs.
Sound
Excellent sounds for a keyboard. I use a pair of Yamaha owered monitor speakers to provide a greater sound quality than built in speakers can deliver.
Features
Very fine set of features. The styles are quite good and very useful in song writing. The controls are useful and well engineered. I was considering several non-arranger keyboards but decided on this instead. I am glad I did. An arranger provides many more featuers to assist in composing songs. The microphone / vocal features are what put this over the top for me.
Ease of Use
Very well done. Easy to use. Easy to learn. Nice job Yamaha. There are multi level menues for advanced features if one needs them. Basic features are easily accessible and well set up.
Quality
The quality is typical of Yamaha - very high. The one thing I wish it has is a mineral crystal screen instead of plastic.
Value
Good - expensive buy worht it for what it does.
Manufacturer Support
I sent 3 emails to support center and never received a reply. I finally called support and received an answer.
The Wow Factor
It has what I want in one package.
