Yamaha vs Korg Styles & Sounds Comparison | PSR-SX900 vs PA1000 | Super Articulation vs DNC 

Hi Jeremy, thanks for the comparison video. I'm a Korg PA700 user and once in a while when I jam up with my friends I use Yamaha PSR 770 (owned by a friend of mine). I find Korg way ahead in terms of tone quality and functionality, I haven't played a Yamaha SX900 though. Let me ask you something, if you are given a choice to pick either the Korg PA or Yamaha SX, which one will you go for Jeremy?

Idiot....the pa1000 costs $1000 more than the sx900😂

Sound quality is what we needed after all

KORG wins for keyboard functionality - Yes. YAMAHA wins for final result of sound quality.

Well said im PA 50 user yamaha sometimes tempted me with their styles.

Yes.. Agree with you.. Im Korg Pa1000 user.. There so much more if they know how to use it..

but still Yamaha Styles are better overall

I was an Electone player long time ago and love to play cinematic music. I prefer Yamaha because of the registration and sequencer which can fulfill my requirement for arranging and performing this kind of music. I'm a solo keyboard casual player at the moment and would change multiple voices frequently, that will be likely more than 10 combination of voices(3 layers of right hand and 1 left hand) while performing a song. Yamaha fit my requirement (8 registrations for 8 different of combination and the one touch buttons give me additional 4 x 8 which is 32 of different combination). Some how I can further extend to another 8 registrations , 32 one touch by switching to a new sequence without interruption. I'm using Yamaha PSR SX900, but it is still insufficient to me, I would prefer Genos or Yamaha Electone with more registration.

What can you recommend or advise me if I can buy the YAMAHA SX900 or KORG PA4X NEXT?

What would you recommend for ease of use? Something your kids could grow into?

@@curteye22 Yamaha keyboards are more user-friendly . korg has a steep learning curve . in terms of instruments sounds, each of them have their own strengths . !

Il n'y a plus qua attendre la fin janvier pour avoir les nouveautés du Yamaha psr sx1000, Korg PA6X, roland juno dx où EA-10

Probably PSR SX910 will be coming....not sx1000

I only hope they add more keys to it. Can use them really bad. They would bring it into a whole new level.

PA4x is perfect

Thanks for the info.

A big fan. I just bought you a coffe 👍

And then there's the biggest element to consider - the player!

Definitely Yamaha PSR SX series for a solo performance.

sus4 & 9ths are basic and pretty much most arrangers can do it. It's the altered 13th#11 etc that trips the lower ranger.

I use a Casio CDP-235R. I do not think the rhythm accompaniment bass lines change drastically with complex chords. The complex chords do shine through nicely. And, you can play many chords as you please with 3 or 4 fingers, some chords I play with 5 fingers. However, one can play a major triad with 1 finger, a minor chord with 2 fingers, a major 7th with 2 fingers. A triad add 9 is recognized. Sus 2, sus 4, diminished, augmented, all recognized. Of the 200 rhythms, I have fun using different genres for the same song, depending how I feel. I find interesting rhythms to use by radically changing the tempo on some rhythms to create better accompaniments. This keyboard is straight forward for live changes on the fly for metronome, tempo, rhythm, tones, intro, variation, and ending. I recommend this Casio series. Only one made now, so others are available used for reasonable prices. These are sturdy keyboards that can take hard playing. The ones I know of Casio CDP- : 200R, 220, 230, 235, 240, and currently new Casio CDP- S350. The 11ths and 13ths are not recognized, or they play the corresponding 4th and 6th an octave lower.

@@JeremySee Thanks!

Thanks for sharing, buddy.

Would you advice me to get korg Pa700/pa1000 ?

Which vocalizer is better TC Helikon or VH 2?

I am having korg pa600. Want to update should I buy sx900 yqmqhq or not?

Either one is fine for complete beginners.

Jeremy See Pls advise on the key feel and sound of both

@@TheLuckyCat101 key Yamaha, sound especially piano ctx

Not everyone has USD$5,500 lying around... 😉

Sounds like a sound idea!

Thank you for your reply, Jeremy...I already called a couple of music stores in the Chicago area, and let them know that I'm a serious buyer, and to please contact me when the Medeli AKX is avalsble, I hope you make another video on the Medeli AKX which could even be more informative...thank you Jeremy, going be best !!!

Nothing beats a real Leslie! Thanks for sharing.

No korg is for solo and Yamaha is for band

KORG auto accomplishments r too plain, Yamaha r more complicated. KORG for solo for sure, Yamaha for one man band.

This is not entirely true, piano doesn't need the after touch.

Hi Rob Nice to hear that I found my self KORG is little complicated for playing than Yamaha (for my self) if you can demonstrate can you pls bring video tutorials with links or your own shows that will be great br for people like my self get in play with KORG aswell not only play on Yamaha. some voices in KORG are little more vibrant than Yamaha but still love Yamaha

Anton Anker it’s not him playing tho. He’s merely reviewing an AC Hamilton video. You’re aware right?

I agree, the average audience person can not tell the difference. Lower prices keyboards are good, plus if it gets stolen or damaged, it is somewhat replaceable compared to a top of the line expensive keyboard. The venue- if it is a dining place, the audience will listen to you for about 30 seconds, then ignore you and continue their discussion with their dinner date. You are there to provide background music and atmosphere. Be sure to play at a low volume. It is annoying trying to speak with a lady if the band is too loud. I like groups that play softly. We are to entertain the audience, not over power them. It is nice if a couple will dance, then they can come closer to the stage and hear you better. We want couples to enjoy their evening in a loving environment. I don’t want the guests to become deaf from ringing ears.

Why?

Thanks for sharing John.

PA 700 is a class below SX 900. When comparing, PA 1000 vs. SX 900. At least Korg is a good replacement for the brand "Technics". I used a Technics KN 6000 with a Yamaha 9000 pro - and now a PSR S 970 with a Korg PA 900.

@@robfriedrich2822 so would you prefer a PA 1000 to an SX 900 at this point?

@@cinepost You won't regret to get either one of these keyboard, both are great. But Korg is a little bit harder to use due to the complexity.

Actually, you won't be wrong if you bought either one of it (PA1000 or SX900). Both are amazing arranger keyboards.

What is the memory for the pa1000?

Fery Andrianus really? I thought that the Yamaha was way more expensive than the Korg. Anyway how much does the sx cost?

@@eldreddsouza9813 in my country (Indonesia) PSR-SX900 costs only around IDR 18,000,000, while PA 1000 costs IDR 27,000,000. (For the price in USD, 1 USD = IDR 14,500).

Korg PA1000 cost about £1500 in comparison to £1900! Overly priced to my liking.

In my country，PA1000 is way expensive than SX900 PA1000 selling price is 9.8K SX900 selling price is 8.3K

And that song was played on a lowly PSR-E463. 🤣

@@JeremySee yeah, seriously, what really matters is the player, not the type of keyboard they have, because even u give a dumwit a Genos , s/he won't become Mozart or Mendelssohn or Beethoven😂

Link please

Yamaha downloaded link plz....

Yeah I love the voice

Agree with you, but Korg is the winner of functionality and customization .

Why do you prefer the 700 over the 900? I keep trying to decide which one I'd get.

Also wondering about that

The different of SX700 and SX900 is huge. SX700 = PSR Level SX900 = Tyros Level

Raymund Rodriguez Strange. Almost everyone I know can’t bear the default Piano sound on the KORG.

@@eldreddsouza9813 what I meant was on this video, the piano sounded nice.

If u compare your S970 with sx900 side by side, you will notice the sx900 has better sound quality and more "saturated"

I would love to do a proper comparison. Yamaha isn't sending me a review unit though, knowing how frank I am. You observation is correct.

Mega voices are used for background track only , not for performance. It contains multiple instrument and voices in a different velocity. So that I don't need to allocate multiple channel for different voicing. e.g. velocity 0-19 for bass string, 20-39 for cello , 40-59 for viola , 60-79 for violin , 80 - 99 for staccato viola and so on.

ベンゲル の カナズミトム The Korg looks better. I like the tiltable screen to get the correct angle to view. My fixed screen is terrible, as the angle is wrong. I have to keep raising my body to view the screen. Korg layout looks good. Some voices good. Yamaha drives me nuts with all the continuously flashing lights. The rhythm programming was a little better than the Korg. The volume balance and choice of tones accompanying the rhythm on the Yamaha was smoother to listen to for my ears. Both keyboards look like 61 note organ keys, which I do not like. I prefer 88 piano type keys. I developed an aversion to Yamaha a few years ago that I can not shake= too high a prices. Korg turned me off some years ago with some 16 bit pcm rhythm machines and a lousily written instruction manual. Roland used to be good, but the owner died and their products are hard to understand. The Roland BK9 had keys of incorrect size (too small), and cheap plastic construction with knobs falling off. I stick to the lower end Casio stuff now due to the lower prices and it is sturdy stuff. True, the tones and rhythm programming could improve, needs more variations, intros, and ending. I do not like the Privia stuff- lousy screen, buttons sharp on my fingers to press. The Casio CDP-S350 is a decent compromise on many fronts.

But about the drums, it's otherwise.

Mega voice is useless for performance, it is only suitable for backend track.

Thanks for sharing. I agree. The Korg PA are such deep instruments.

Yamaha is never canned sorry to tell u i owe a psr sx 900 and my brother korg pA 1000 , Yamaha is user friendly and styles are far ahead of korg , outlook of korg is like a toy board

So jeremy u think korg pa4x is worth buying thang yamaha?

@@mayurbahanmukherjee2433 nonsense .... Yamaha has a much worse performance than the Korg Pa 1000. Scratching paint and poor keyboard

SX900 is one generation newer than PA1000, definitely sound better.

Well in our Region very often...
