Comparison with Previous Models: PSR-SX700 and PSR-SX900
The PSR-SX700 and PSR-SX900 were already powerful arranger keyboards, but the new PSR-SX720 and PSR-SX920 introduce key upgrades:
- Memory and Expansion: The PSR-SX720 offers 1GB of internal and expansion memory, while the PSR-SX920 doubles the expansion memory to 2GB. This is a significant improvement over the PSR-SX700’s 400MB and PSR-SX900’s 1GB expansion memory
- Super Articulation Voices: The introduction of SA2 voices on the PSR-SX920 provides a richer, more expressive sound palette than the PSR-SX900. The PSR-SX720 also benefits from SA Voices, a step up from the PSR-SX700
- Chord Looper: Both the PSR-SX720 and PSR-SX920 now feature the Chord Looper, a major advantage over the PSR-SX700, which lacks this functionality
- Connectivity: The addition of Bluetooth audio on the PSR-SX920, and the enhanced connectivity options like USB display out, makes it more versatile for live and studio use compared to the PSR-SX900
The Yamaha PSR-SX720 and PSR-SX920 are remarkable additions to the PSR-SX series, offering musicians of all levels enhanced control, sound quality, and versatility. Whether you are a professional musician looking for premium sound and features, or an intermediate player seeking a powerful yet approachable tool for live performances and songwriting, these new models deliver.
