Your reviews are the best. Honest and unbiased!

Jeremy, could you suggest electronic keyboard for Trinity grade 6 and above? Specifications are very confusing. A video will be very helpful. Thank you!

Hi Jeremy, does psr sx600 can play piano vst to inbuilt speaker through usb cable ? I mean like p125 that has ability to play vst to inbuilt speaker. Thank you

The bass player on the rythms on the Yamaha is quite better than on korgs

Piano YAMAHA E piano KORG style EQUAL Screen KORG guitar YAMAHA Usb YAMAHA Mic input YAMAHA Saxophone YAMAHA Output jack YAMAHA Organ EQUAL Layered voices KORG

Yes, the comparison is a little unfair because of the age of the Korg, but not entirely unfair, since the Korg is still for sale. The amazing thing is that they both sound so good. But it's nice to know what you're getting and not getting when it comes time to put your cash on the table. Also, public reviews like this can sometimes nudge companies into upping their game. Thanks for the video!

Korg is significantly lower, might cause some people to believe the Yamaha sounds better due to this.

Thank you for reviewing Pa300. You heard my request. Thank you 🙂🤗

Excellent comparison Jeremy. I feel the Yamaha PSR - SX 600 has really good and well programmed styles. The built in audio interface and mic input ports found on the Yamaha PSR - SX 600 are also a great advantage. So, it is quite unbeatable for under $1000.

I have korg pa 300 and today i bought yamaha sx 600. And it is nothing but fantastic! So great sounds! 😀😀😀. I like my korg but sx 600 is way better.

You didn't really understand the basic idea. A few years ago, yamaha was still trying to catch up with models like: s670, s770, etc., which would compete with the masters pa300, pa600 and pa900 etc. But it didn't work out well, because korg sold models for all pockets, with samplers, large memories and big color touchscreens.The battle between the two brands was fought between the PA # X and Tyros models, but Yamaha took another ace up its sleeve, that is with the Genos model, replacing the next Tyros but without much success. Korg also has real success with the PA4X model. I think Yamaha is great in other instrument development departments, such as saxophones, violins, and so on. The new Yamaha models (sx700 / sx900) can't even compete against the pa600 / pa900. What about the new, very advanced models: pa700 and pa1000 from korg. All I have to say is "Yamaha is far behind"

In my opinion Yamaha is clearly the best in the entry level. I mean come on just hear the styles... They are soo much better than the competition...

Honestly to me, both of them sounds ABSOLUTELY gorgeous n their own right. Excellent tutorial and comparison.

Hello jeremy, I wanna buy psr s670 according to my budget...Is it good to buy in 2020 or worth ?...How much the last and final cost of it in indian rupees ....Plz reply🙏❤❤❤

I think both Korg and Yamaha has its own unique things and I love them!

A very useful comparison. I have long been in doubt about which of his keyboards to choose. I preferred the Yamaha but at the same time I had a Yamaha PSR SQ16, a Yamaha 131 upright piano and an Arius electric piano. I was tempted to try a different brand instrument but your reviews and this comparison pushed me again towards Yamaha. Ordered with Black Friday at € 665 (I'm Italian), I get it on Monday. I'm eager to get my hands on it. Your reviews are great. Thanks.

Yamaha it's the best!

How do you record piano sound.plz make a video on this,What things should we need to record quality sound.plz reply sir.....expecting a reply from you plz

I have the Korg pa300 !! Korg's output is so rich with on stage speakers . Its a Bass beast !! But i have to agree that Yamaha did a great job with styles ..

Nice comparison Both sound great. To my knowledge The yamaha sounds more real the guitar i heard finger slides while the korg i didnt hear any. and the piano and saxaphone were best on the yamaha. korg still sounds ok in itls own way. I enjoyed the comparison video.

Hi, I have the PA300...the game changer for me was the onboard mp3 player, and you can play along to professional backing tracks to your heart's content, for leisure of course. It was actually retailing for $700+ (still is), got it at $600+ with online retail discount coupons, so with its specs at this price point, probably made sense over the EK50, Yamaha EW series & the complicated Casio CTX series. Just my two cents.

Hi Jeremy Bro. iam from India. your regular viewer and great fan. iam using PSR295 even till 2020. i love both the keyboards they may have pros and cons but when comparing my psr 295 they make me to feel like im in a heaven

Hello. Does someone have any experience with YAMAHA PSR-SX600 and its touch buttons or screen? I am totaly blind, and I am afrait of this. But I really like the sounds and many drum stilles. I know about YAMAHA PSR-w425, but it is not as good, as this. Thanks.

What if you did a review country style on the sx 600?

It seems like Yamaha has weighted and sweeter voices than Korg. As Entry Level Keyboards, Both of them are successful and buyer must choose the options as his requirement.

Your reviews are excellent Jeremy, but will you PLEASE stop repeating PSR in almost every sentence! I know I have mentioned this to you in the past. Everyone knows that the prefix PSR denotes all Yamaha keyboards except GENOS and the former TYROS. So please just keep to saying SX600, SX700 or SX900 only. Thank You!

Maybe you could do a comparison between korg i3 and PA300. They have the same price. Thank you

do korg pa 300 have touch screen

Hello Jeremy Nice review, I’m retired from over 55 years of playing. I converted to arranger keyboards in 1994 and haven’t looked back Although korg , Roland ,Yamaha have their strength and weakness. Picking just one to use on stage can be very frustrating. I was very blessed to be able to afford both the Yamaha and korg on stage for over 15 years with great successBoth work very well together which solved my problem Of which would be best to use. I recently added a Roland bk3 ( I had all the Roland arrangers) I got a great deal on, to my rig setup. As of now I’m very happy with my setup. Choosing one keyboard to use would be difficult but most musicians make due with one. Again I’m very blessed. Thanks

Please do a comparison of Yamaha psr sx900 and Korg Pa1000.

Bro please do a video about yamaha PSR - SX 900

Korg Pa300 fully edited sounds better. Besides, on the Korg pa you play one sound on left and three on the right.

Just listen to that noise floor on Korg. It's blasting white noise like 80s tape recorder. They still haven't fixed that since pa500. No need to compare further, that pa300 ain't no professional arranger.

Can u pls say which is good for indian music

Korg sounds more Japanese 🇯🇵 Yamaha sounds more World Class ✅

The only thing that makes me think that Yamaha SX600 is the winner is their famous super articulation voices

...whats wrong with u people... korg is the better sounding keyboard..sound is much more detailed and arranger is more "live" like sounding than yamaha...

Personally I like Yamaha, reason being, it's easy to use. Korg is complicated. Also Korg's keys feel awkward, it's like they are loose / broken while Yamaha's feels better and intact. My next buy is Yamaha SX700/ 900.

the instruments sounds too funny on korg. Much much better quality on yamaha !

Nice video. One should also consider the default effects and possible turn them off which instantly make many keyboard sounds sound super dry or make it the same effect as far as possible. Dont know about these keyboards. It seems not much progress is made during a decade. Much of what these do did my GeneralMusic arranger (WX2) too in the 90's and more (aftertouch?). Hope HQ instrument samples will be finally the standard. Whats the size in MB's of these? Also Korg STILL refuses to add usb audio to their entry and mid range which is ridiculous. Many also still like to think aftertouch is something special. It aint. Time for those manufacturers to wake up before its too late. Artificial limitations are a nogo these day and age.

I'm a user of both Korg Pa700 And Yamaha Psr-sx 700... My Korg Pa is more satisfying than my Yamaha...

I suoni sono nell'insieme nettamente migliori su Yamaha Psr SX600, come il piano elettrico e le chitarre, su Korg decisamente più cupi. Anche gli styles sono migliori su Yamaha, quello che mi piace di più di Korg sono gli intro e i finali come gestione, ma come qualità degli styles e delle variazioni vince anche lì Yamaha. Buono il suono di piano di Korg, che reputo ovviamente al pari con Yamaha uno dei migliori della categoria, non solo sulle tastiere ma anche sui piani digitali.

tricky! touch screen is a winner but not here, the yamaha sounds modern and fresh, sorry korg

The Korg Pa-300 is equipped with much more complex and sophisticated features, even if it is a much older edition. The SX600 has more elaborate styles and sounds better after you buy it. I had a Korg Pa-300, I didn’t like the keys, the knobs and the output. I haven't tried the PSR-SX600 yet, it could have a bigger display and buttons next to it (say like the Pa80).

In Indonesia, most stage musicians use the Korg PA300, because it is very suitable for dangdut and koplo music.

I used Yamaha since 1995 and I feel Yamaha is easy operated and clear sound and style

If only the big companies (Yamaha, Korg, Roland, Kurzweil, Nord) make a powerful 88-key arranger workstation with built-in speakers like Casio PX-560M then I think musician's life would be a little bit easier

The Korg won for piano and organ sounds, IMO, and the Yamaha beat Korg's pants off with that Saxophone. The others were pretty much a matter of taste, to me.

Why does Korg guitar is sounds like a harpsichord 🤔🤔

Thank you for this Video... I have to say... Yamaha sounds are more "detailed"... Korg still good, but ti does sound a little "Dated"... But anyway is all a matter of what you like the best!

Korg's rock styles are kinda boring

Wow profesional piano sound in Psr sx 600.My psr s910 piano sound is fat but toyish.

I think Yamaha piano is very good but korg style is more details than Yamaha

На ямахе фоно дубовое! Клавишники, владельцы KORG , подтвердят.Или это мое личное мнение?

Sx 600 best sound

Confuse to buy which one is 16layers multiple track recording

I think progress with these instruments has slowed down. Instruments 5 to 10 years old still hold up surprisingly well. I am still happy with my 8yo Roland BK-5. The screen looks old and small, but other than that it still sounds and feels up to date.

Which of the 2 is better.please reply me

Hi Jeremy . You still think SX600 is the better keyboard in under $800 price range? I have used a PSR 550 for close to two decades. Out in the market to buy a new keyboard. Very confuse. Please help!

Well, I am listening to the comparison by Jeremy who IMO is the gold standard for arranger reviewers. Some of the dueling sounds are a toss up but when Jeremy gets to the concert guitar comparison at 9:30, the Korg sounds like a toy compared to the Yamaha,. Now, Yamaha may pull psycho acoustic tricks and use effects to better advantage as some have noted here but they also sometimes appear to have superior samples, at least to my ears. That being said, it is kind of miraculous that the Korg technology, at 7 years old still hangs in there to a degree with things like a touch screen, etc.. Bottom line- I prefer the Yamaha sound wise. After all, these are basically rompler instruments with little or no ability to create novel sounds, so you better be satisfied with the onboard offerings.

great comparison video ... but is it fair to compare the latest keyboard from one maker to a six-years-old one from another? well, yes, why not ... especially when it seems like the newer one's maker's been apparently at it in the last several years to catch up with the older one? i may be wrong at that though but in the end, considering both items offer pretty much similar voices and performance options and so on, the "good old marketing trick" is seen here too: competitors come up with products that do compete with the competition but also complement each other just as well and don't fully kick their opponent out of the ring to let them continue taking their own fair share of the market as ever ... the newer product however, wins at least in one area: it's got less physical depth than the older one, thus occupying less room space in turn ... but wait, surely the older one's maker also makes 'smaller' keyboards now, right? ;-)

I've hear and comparing a lot of demo's about the styles(not the sounds) between KORG & YAMAHA , generally the Yamaha has a sweet, nice and swinging rhythm, that's the most noticeable I can say. The sound samples of both keywords are equal. It's like cooking, with the same ingredients, but the different is the chef🍜 if you understand what I mean.

Once again, an interesting comparison. I have a PA300 languishing unused which I wish to sell as it's no comparison to my Yamaha PSR-SX900, a totally different class of instrument (and I can never find time to play that!). But I was never happy with the Korg, and this demo reveals why in this more valid comparison. Some people generally prefer the Korg-type sounds, but for me, as heard here, on average Yamaha voices are more realistic (for example consider the guitar and sax voices here) and the styles more polished. However, for its day, the Korg had much to commend it and I suspect there may be a few who prefer it. For me, the Yamaha wins, but you hint at a forthcoming look at a more recent Korg, which just may change things significantly. I look forward to that (but suspect Yamaha will still be the winner, but by a smaller margin - it will be interesting to find out!).

Korg has a hiss sound. Not sure why

If you are on tight budget, Korg Ek50L is probably better than PA300, although less features, some of the styles and sound set are more contemporary. Choose Yamaha if you want more natural acoustic sounds and styles such as piano, guitar and typical live cover band sound. Korg tends to sound synthetic and thick but still ok. Like wearing make-up. More for heavily produced pop music.

You are the only one giving genuine and very very useful information! ❤️ From India Does the PSR SX600 have MIDI functions? Please answer my question.

At 10:37 DJ Sammy-Boys Of Summer.

Корг детальнее звучит !! Ямаха размазано замалеванно

Alright, why does korg sound warmer than yamaha? Although I'd pick Yamaha over Korg in this case! For better sounding and rear ports!

PSR SX 600 or KORG PA600?

Do this have touch screen

The Yamaha is much better and korg have cheap composantes like condensers I owned 2 korg i2 they are dead only 14 years, I called . Korg if they will repair they told they me , they don’t have parts I’m residing in japan only I have a Yamaha sk20 analogue synthesizer from 1979 still working like a tank my yamaha PRs 650 Yamaha are the best one in my opinion

E yamaha sx600 lejos al pa300 pa600

Recently, I acquired a Korg PA 300, and I also have two Yamahas, I consider that both offer extraordinary performance, however the Korg has better bass sounds, and very good string and synth sound banks, while the Yamaha has very good piano sounds.

Hi Jeremy, which keyboard can you recommend, Korg EK 50, Pa 300 or Roland BK3, BK 5 Thank you very much.

Korg is the Best of Best Only know Those who used both keyboards in Live Performance I bought Korg PA 700 as my Life Time Performance Keyboard after usage of all Available Arranger Workstations in India I Love Korg 700 What a Piece of Art❤

In my opinion Jeremy the korg pa 300 has better realistic rhythm than the yamaha psr600 for the voices is difficult but I may say the Yamaha is better for the acoustic guitar and piano but they do close but Korg has cheap composants In the past I owned 2 korg i2 they are in the cemetery and just recently I bought the korg EK 50 the back adapter break when I was setting for a gig in a restaurant lucky it had battery my wife went to buy battery and it’s under warranty still korg break soon i owned the synthesizers trident analogue from 1980 still work but few functions are dead and I owned a Yamaha SK 20 from 1979 still work perfectly in my conclusion yamaha has better composant than korg Korg need to improve electronics lijke capacitors

Sound,yamaha win

the yamaha is always a quality better 😅 But the Korg has more live sounds and more functions..and the best thing in korg is sampling mode you can make your own sound in few minutes..you can import lot of soundfonts SF2 and Korgmultisamples KMP...what yamaha doesnt has a sampling mode .only yamaha manager in Pc.. this is the reason why i prefer korg💯👌

Does the PA300 have split?

Hello Jeremy, i'm in North Carolina, USA . I'm about to buy one of a Keyboard but i don't know which one to pick. one is Yamaha psr-sx600 and the other on is Korg pa600 i'm not a professional i just Beginner players, i don;t know which one should be my best Choice. Can you please give a good advise. Thank You!

Mr See, can't buy ur coffee. Exch outlets don't accept peso to sell $,. they jst buy. Speculating.

What the price difference between them

Best thing is to have a psrsx900 and korg krome ex

Korg pa 300 USB audio Wave file Can it be produced?

The piano sound of yamaha is realistic then korg(in general) and korg is using an old program but yamaha it's screen make you navigate in the instrument so I like all yamaha keyboard and go check the yamaha GENOS and YAMAHA PSR A5000

Is Korg more reliable than Yamaha? I have a Yamaha E463. It has only been 3 years, and I already have a real problem with dead keys. Each time a key dies, I have to open up the whole keyboard and clean the key contact. Does this happen with Korg? I see there are lots of how-to videos on RU-vid for how to open up Yamaha keyboards, even expensive SX ones, and clean key conacts. But there are none for Korg. Maybe this means Korg keyboards are more reliable?

Jeremy, it's not worth comparing 7yr old korg with recently launched Yamaha sx series.. if it so, compare PA 300 wt PSR 670.. Sure Yamaha won't come closer with korg. I Played both nd felt yamaha as useless

Strings ensemble is on Korg more natural, but I'm experienced enough to know, that the Yamaha version will fit better in arrangements.

Sir, please tell me ,how to use yahama psr600 multi pad function

Thank you so much for your video. Yahama psr sx600 really aswemone, i am very happy to play my new yahama psr sx600. India

Yamaha SX600 - 1300 voices 👏 Korg PA300 - 950 voices IMHO voices quality is definitely better in Yamaha. They sound more "recent" and that's normal 'cause SX600 is more recent. Yamaha SX600 - 2 upper layers 😕 Korg PA300 - 3 upper layers But is this a "big deal"? How often you play 3 voices at the same time? IMHO the more important question is: *Can you have a second split point?* For ex. 1 for the style + 1 more. Yamaha SX600 - 415 styles Korg PA300 - 310 styles But! Korg has free styles, that are actually as recent as Yamaha's. More important is: How many you can install? What about the free memory on both models? Do they have "Style creator"? Yamaha SX600 - 2 live knobs 👏 Korg PA300 - 0 live knobs Yamaha wins here. Yamaha SX600 - USB audio 👏 Korg PA300 - No USB audio I suppose it's due to the model recency, but, yes, it's definitely a win for Yamaha. Yamaha SX600 - MicIn/LineOut OK 👏 Korg PA300 - MicIn/LineOut not OK This time, I don't believe it's due to model recency. ❓ OK, it's definitely a win for Yamaha, *BUT* winning against a 6-year old model for me isn't really a win. It was expected. Nevertheless, I see the bright ideas KORG had 6 years ago, which arranges it at the same (top) level.

Imo, korgs output to pa’s has always been top notch, cuts right through the music, including mixes in studio, better output

🤩🤩👍🏽👌🏽 Excelente y maravillosa comparación, me da una idea de cuál adquirir.!!!

You really must be a “Yamaha boy/girl” to enjoy it.. Korg is a little bit better for professional work… My choice is Kurzweil for some reasons 😆

Bro why always pick piano n organ sounds for demo n comparison from 1000 sounds. There must be multilayer sounds which are played in bollywood n Hollywood. So plz to show the worth choose some melodious sounds.

I already have a Yamaha MX88. Looking for something to make backing tracks. Will the sound / quality of the voices of the SX600 be better than the MX?

I’m a blind musician. Need to replace a worn out PSR 910. Want a sequencer and buttons instead of a touch screen. Would like aftertouch if it doesn’t add too much to the price. Can you recommend something?

Yamaha sx 600 is really really good and better sound quality.🎼🎵🎼🎵🎹
