The Yamaha PSR-SX920 is a high-end arranger keyboard designed for demanding musicians — both advanced amateurs and professionals. With its outstanding sound palette, ultra-realistic accompaniment styles, and intuitive interface, it becomes a true partner for the stage, studio, or composition.
Keyboard
- 61-key keyboard with organ-style touch (FSB type)
- Adjustable touch sensitivity: the keyboard responds to how hard you play. You can choose from several levels (normal, soft, hard) to match your playing style.
- Assignable multi-function joystick, 2 rotary knobs, and 8 assignable buttons for ultra-intuitive live control. These allow real-time adjustments of parameters like effects, volume, or filters — as if you're mixing while playing.
Sound
- The PSR-SX920’s sound engine is based on two powerful Yamaha technologies:
- AWM Stereo Sampling: faithfully reproduces acoustic instruments.
- AEM (Articulation Element Modeling): models natural articulations (glissando, vibrato, etc.) for greater realism.
- 1,587 instrument voices, 63 drum/SFX kits, and 480 XG voices — perfect for any style or genre.
- S.Articulation2 & +: automatically triggers expressive articulations (legato, staccato, etc.) based on your playing.
- MegaVoice: includes natural nuances and realistic playing sounds (slides, fret noise, pick sounds…).
- Sweet!, Cool!, Live!: specially crafted sounds that capture the warmth of acoustic instruments.
Advanced Functions
- 128-note polyphony: play complex pieces with no dropped notes.
- Professional effects: reverb (59 types), chorus, DSP (digital effects), EQs, compressors... with VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling) for warm analog-style sound.
- Vocal Harmony and vocoder: add backing vocals or robotic effects to your voice (54 presets).
- Built-in arpeggiator: automatically generates rhythmic patterns based on the chords you play.
Accompaniment Styles
- 575 accompaniment styles, including 520 “Pro” styles, ideal for live performance.
- Each style includes: 3 intros, 4 variations, 4 fills, 1 break, and 3 endings — just like playing with a real band.
