Yamaha PSR SX600 Review & In-Depth Buyers Guide

[@alexniyokwizigira1335]

Tony's keyboard reviews are the best out of all the videos I have seen.

[@nathanreid2974]

the yamaha psr-s975 got a bit of a bad rep from Jeremy C, but on boners piano it wasn't too bad, so i agree

[@tautliners]

As you said, all Yamaha's are amazing value. Something like this would have cost around £4k in the 80's and it would never have sounded this good.

[@christopherrockcliffe8530]

i THOROUGHLY ENJOYED HIS DEMONSTRATIONS

[@GabrielRocha-po9fz]

This analysis was a lot better and a lot more well explainable than the brazillian ones in youtube. They just focus on brazillian styles, the selling point of the keyboard here, but I want to see other functions haha. Thanks for your video

[@MulaBatiswaHutagaol]

Our guy, Tonny, is awesome! I like that he chose Bruce Hornsby's The Way It Is for the first demo song.

[@allenruss5450]

Without doubt the best instrument demonstration I have seen. Have no hesitation in buying this keyboard on that demo. Brilliant.

[@hacksaw4966]

Great review! These things are so complex, but you do a nice job to show the features. Thank you!!

[@allanallen1835]

It as complex as the modx6 but that has better samples.

[@martinj.a6602]

You are super talented Tony .. Im sure even a 90's Casio could sound amazing when you play . !!

sorry to be off topic but does anyone know of a method to get back into an instagram account..? I somehow lost my account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me

@Mustafa Kace I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@AmeerAli-od6xe]

@Mustafa Kace It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my account!

Superb demonstration. I love all the features this has, so may be tempted to order one. I just wish there was a 76 key variant. The EW-325 has enough keys, but missing some pro features that this model has such as modulation wheel and the ability to make up your own grooves and styles, etc. The DGX 670 has more than enough keys and pro sounds etc, but just a little too big and heavy for taking to gigs!

[@1942nn]

This is one key video out of many, making me buying this PSR SX600 (arriving in a few days) instead of PA-700/PA-1000. I am still playing a 12 yrs old TYROS 3, but like to have this for easy carrying out for gigs.

[@jorjajorjan3863]

Are you happy with it?

[@bscott77]

Great keyboard, I still have my now very old PSR SQ16 which also has a 16 track but obviously can’t compete with these newer models

[@hamidrezaansari4871]

hold on to that! it is very very rare and it is very very special :)

[@LittleRichard1988]

I think the PSR-SQ16 still sounds really good even today. I personally like the digitized PCM sounds from the late 80s and early 90s.

[@kokopelli314]

Tony's version of EJs "Sorry" on the Etherial Movie Style was fantastic!

[@rockysmith7583]

Great & well researched demo 👍

[@neilscothern420]

Tonys song rep is great

[@techtasticDK]

Superb video from you after a long time with Yamaha product s

[@TechCars]

You played the theme from Outrun there very well ;-) Nice!

[@tobytoxd]

YEAH! Actually my first game i bought for our Amiga 500! I was 12 or so :D

[@rubbersoul2841]

3:24 Love that Fender Rhodes sound!

[@DynamteKid316]

I still have my Yamaha PSR640 love it!

[@Transterra55]

For an inexpensive keyboard, the clarinet sound was amazingly realistic . Thanks for the demoTony!

[@jimmydeacon6714]

Excellent demo's Tony. Thank you.

[@danilol.187]

Hi! Great video. What is the name of the songs at 13:51 and 15:31 ? They are beautiful but I can't remember the names.

[@DrJacob-z6l]

Pirates of Caribbean theme song

[@DrJacob-z6l]

2nd one I’m not sure

[@Ruben20109]

Excellent. Very clear professional and bright.

[@bestrickie2]

An excellent instrument and your demonstration is excellent. The only gripe I have is the screen could have been an inch or two larger.

[@rajrock4570]

15:26 the song "every time we touch".

[@TheJohndenhaag]

Very realistic drum percussion rhythm 👌

[@mikegeeguitarman8991]

Blimey Tony the Luther vandross was amazing mate..what a player you are lad !

[@apetasne]

out run song man you are my hero !!!!

[@paulbrandenberg]

Great Video - super played

[@MegaTubetraveller]

Cascada-Every time we touch and others) Keyboard is amazing!

[@RedEyeC]

Quite a demonstration - thank you ;) Questions on the recorder - does it have step sequencing? (able to record say 8 measures; stop - then start where you left off - similar to Roland Fantom). Also, can you play back a list of recordings on a flash drive - whether recorded from the SX600, or any other source? Thank you -

[@liberationhouse-paog-z2824]

It has

[@FerryChat]

Hi, Very well played, I have the PSR S670 and Still like it.

[@mrthomasheder]

Hi, great video! Cant the midi from the auto generated accompaniment be send out on midi out so I can record it in my DAW?

[@bulldogger1467]

Every single arranger/workstation demo on youtube has Pirates of the Caribbean

[@marcelomay4561]

This is giving the Roland Jupiter X a run for its money. That one might look fun but this Yamaha keyboard has the ability to create and record full tracks, not just great sounds.

[@purplemoon3816]

Hi Toni I'm thinking about buying the sx 600 but would like to know if it can be connected to a monitor so the text of a song can be displayed.

[@davidorr8194]

Exceptional playing! :)

[@capi9414]

Very good review and rich of interesting information. Thank you a lot.

[@ConeyIsland1952]

Will there be a Part 2 on the SX600 inner workings etc?

[@zoned4752]

your demonstration is excellent

[@richardgraham65]

Great keyboard reviews thanks. I have been trying to decide which Yamaha to go for but find that there is so much going on with these keyboards that I am finding it impossible to understand all the differences. Where I live the SX600 is about 700 Quid, the SX 700 is about 950 quid and the SX900 is about 1200 quid - is it worth going for the 900 rather than the 600 or 700? I am not a proficient pianist, but like to play for fun. What are the major differences between these three keyboards thanks!

[@Obez45]

link to a comparison of the 900 and 700 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJnSdKSZaL-Vmqc

[@nathanreid2974]

i think this is good enough, i don't know what you have got now if you have chosen already, but if so this would have been good enough. The 900 has a vocoder on though, but i presume this may have, being as Tony mentioned the on board effects

[@ConeyIsland1952]

Can you do a playlist demo in the Yamaha SX600? it seems different then genos, SX900 etc..

[@rj_rewaaj_9982]

Thanks a lot for this wonderful review. Will you please tell the name of the orchestral strings voice used in this video?

[@wolfgangh.1574]

What a Sound with Strings Orchesta very nice Pirates of Carribean i love this Song Best Video here of SX 600 👌 Over the Top is the Price

[@tobytoxd]

Great demo of this amazing instrument! Love it! Thanks so much :)

[@legomaster7982]

Which song is played at 12:50?

[@jorjajorjan3863]

Nice instrument and explanation. Does it has any Bluetooth connectivity?

[@DrJacob-z6l]

No it doesn’t

Thanks TONY I LOVE YOUR DEMONSTRATION 👏👏🫶🏼

Great demo TONY 🇦🇺😄 mine is on order can’t wait 🎹

[@bestrickie2]

Is there a firmware update since last year PSR-SX600?

[@preretro-gamingmitreini]

Great video, awesome performances, great Outrun and Pirates of the Caribbean performance. I would like to buy this fine Yamaha Keyboard as a X-mas present. One important function I would like to have: Can it play mid and kar files directly from a usb stick? How must the usb stick formated FAT? FAT32, NTFS? Thank you very much!

[@aj6954]

What`s the title of that Glenn Miller number he played right at the end?

[@jonathanpittock1447]

2:41 in... is that Outrun I hear?

[@Sampad1982]

12:45 which tune??? Very Good String Pad sound.

[@cinnamonpie5971]

What song is being played at 12:45 ? It sounds beautiful

[@musk771]

Is it possible to connect this SX600 via MIDI to a master keyboard or organ, to have the style control for example from 2nd manual of MIDI organ, or voice control with aftertouch? An USB-to-MIDI cable have to be used and on which port, to-host or to-device? Thanks

[@jorjajorjan3863]

Nice review. Is it enough of a difference to pick this over sx700 because of this having the unison and accent functions for a more controllable live action for gigs? My main focus is to have more control when playing along with the styles. What do you think? Regards.

[@Skyisnotalimit]

You outrun us on that playing... :-) Nice machine!

[@mirkomontaldo]

Hello nice gear! one small curiosity: at 10:40 Split and Dual is shown. Does anybody know if an arpeggiator can be applied to the Bass sound on the left? From the handbook it seems not possible.

[@dominicsaviomosahary9436]

Please give demo for psr 700

[@igiiwamapendo4454]

is it true that Adapter is not included?

[@Sampad1982]

Tony Sir you have given the best practical review of SX600. I'm very excited. Should I go with it or SX700... 900 is out of my budget. So thinking between the 2. Can you guide me some Enchanting differences in both. I'm watching from India.

[@allanallen1835]

Get 700 it's worth it and it's touchscreen this isn't

[@Sampad1982]

@@allanallen1835 ok. Thanks for your words. ❤️😊

[@Damian_Yamaha]

Hello, great presentation of the SX600. What's that song at 19:14?

[@gr8northernpike]

Skylark, by Johnny Mercer and Hoagy Carmichael. 1941. Linda Ronstadt did a nice version (search KZbin).

[@WysteriaGuitar]

Can I import midi into this and use it?

Excellent presentation. Thank you.

Does it allow for USB audio recording straight to the computer, without using external audio interface?

Do you provide lessons on the per sx 600 keyboard?

[@tigrecordshomestudio]

Nice instrument....and good player!🎩

[@rinkeschroor4249]

Great video

[@TheStircrazys]

has it got after touch

[@Jehuleanya]

Is there a style creator on this keyboard?

[@maximusheronimus23980]

would you suggest this over a DGX 670?

[@neilscothern420]

I hope the key action is not like the psr e range just to light

[@akwuruohajoshua9148]

Am feeling every move you are making on that keyboard, from Lagos Nigeria, I never knew this sounds is on that keyboard

[@paulydpaulyd9746]

Can the 1 ' Free Style ' be Re Voiced and saved to a Memory Slot ? Great Demo by the way

excellent video... I am buying one soon!

Please please please guide me SX600 or S770 which one is better?

Wirklich tolle Demo. Viele Sounds gut vorgeführt. Und vor allem ohne die aonst so übliche Affektiertheit. Und gut gespielt!👍👍

Please, where is the Leslie rotary speakers effect ?

[@RichardChau]

Is it possible to put arranged midi file into the yamaha psr600, and let it play the part you want? Im new these keyboard area dont if this is a silly question, please suggest me any direction if it is possible for any keyboard, but im interested in the sound a function of yamaha psr600 after played around with it in real. The playing even more convincing, very nice playing sir.

I would suspect that it's the "Suitcase EP" voice

[@hectorzarate8580]

Excellent video demonstration, just one question for you what is the life spam on those keyboards? I been hearing that Yamaha is not very durable. Please let me know. I really like this keyboard.

[@ernstviolinpiano]

I've just ordered one

[@allanallen1835]

Did you get it? How is it

[@carmelop3035]

Greetings and congratulations for the video, I want to ask you a question: I saw that the SX900: 1) can record the singer's voice and 2) also when the tracks are recorded, they can be edited and changed, you can start from any musical compass and you don't need to start from the beginning of the recording. Can you do this on the SX600? Thank you very much in advance.

[@aliterogasolini6401]

SOLD, This guy is amazing and drew some fantastic performance from this wonderful Keyboard, would like to have heard the additional sub woofer as well. Very nice presentation. I’m going to buy one.

[@DarioSinger]

Does it have the loop chords like the SX900

[@Futurecop23]

no.

[@MegaResnais]

keyboard can change acords whit one finger ???

[@LittleRichard1988]

The only thing I don't like about this keyboard is the fact it doesn't have midi terminals but as I also have a midi controller it's not such a big deal. But for under £1,000 it is still a decent enough keyboard and I would buy one if it was all I could afford.

[@RichardCyberPunk]

I also miss the midi terminals. Even my 2 older Yamaha PSR-330 / 350 keyboards have MIDI in/out... and they are more than 10 years older......

[@LittleRichard1988]

@@RichardCyberPunk As I posted my comment a while ago I have since come to the conclusion that an arranger keyboard is not worth buying exclusively for midi sequencing. A workstation/synth or VST instruments are better for music production whereas an arranger is designed to be played in a live enviroment rather than a tool for music production even though I used to think otherwise.

[@LittleRichard1988]

@arnoldrimmer4833 Yeah but as I still use midi sound modules and a midi controller from the late 90s I use a Yamaha UX-16 interface which Yamaha still supports, Roland also make decent USB midi interfaces. As long as you buy an interface by a reputable brand like Roland, Yamaha or Korg there shouldn't be any problems. Also since my original comment was just over 5 months ago I have pretty much decided against buying an arranger keyboard "just for the use of multi track sequences" and there isn't really any point in buying an arranger unless you have a use for auto accompaniments.
