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 Settings 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. Simply select a song title or a keyword,all appropriate panel settings are reconfigured to match the genre, including the appropriate voices, style and effects. Music Finder+ also works with the Internet Direct Connection (IDC) feature, allowing you to download additional free Music Finder records and collections in addition to the wide selection built in to the instrument.
Display options

The color LCD display shows the song notation of a MIDI file (score) as well as lyrics (for MIDI songs that have score and lyric data). 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.

Performance features

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. The USB connection also allows you to make your own CD-quality recordings at home with a minimum of fuss, utilizing the new USB Audio Recorder.

VOICE DEMOS

Graphic of a musical note Here I've recorded all of the voice demos off the S900 to help you in evaluating this keyboard. I personally was unable to get anymore than a dozen or so voice samples off the web, so I decided to put them all here to enable potential buyers to make a more confident decision when considering purchasing the Yamaha S900. They include all "cool, live, megavoice and super articulation voices available via voice catagories on the keyboard.. I've made sub catagories in some cases from the main display of the keyboard to make things easier. Enjoy and I hope you find them useful! Graphic of a musical note

PSR SERIES STYLES, S900 MANUALS AND INSTRUMENT DEFINITION FILES

Graphic of a musical note The Yamaha S900 comes with over 300 in built styles, but it is also capable of playing styles from other PSR series keyboards. It can take advantage of the megavoice and SA (super articulation) voicing from the PSR 3000, Tyros 1 and Tyros 2 keyboards etc. Previous models can also be used, however you will experience a limitation...for example reduced fill variations and the inability to utilize the megavoice and SA technology. Tweeking of parameters may also be needed. Below is a selection of style files from other PSR series keyboards, along with the instrument definition files for the S900 and Cakewalk Sonar.
