Korg PA900 VS Yamaha S950 Keyboard Demo

[@ThiagoSecundo]

Musical Quality: Yamaha Sound Quality: Korg

[@skeejameyang4198]

how much korg?

[@vampireaudio1892]

I like Korg but it's so hard to operated at programing So I choose S950, it's simple to operated and i like the voice.

[@liordgani6034]

What a great playing of "Wonderful tonight" on PA900.

[@honestthinker2767]

KORG sounds better and distinguishable on PA system but YAMAHA sounds more reverb like muddy and merged tones though it is good on its own speakers. Yes we can tweak sounds and styles on both keyboards but it is not an easy task. The funniest part is most of the customers use less than 20% of capabilities of these keyboards. KORG wins over YAMAHA in many aspects like joystick, touch screen, drum tuning, programming ... but I would say Yamaha is more user friendly !!!!

[@derimusikofficial]

The same as me

[@liordgani6034]

And i back to listen this again and again.. you played "wonderful Tonight" like a charm on Korg PA900 👌👌👌

[@KMNKeyboardVault]

Korg does sound good and convincing. But the Yamaha sounds more lively and more realistic My vote is for the Yamaha

[@meloman5350]

Всё таки я больше и больше начинаю склоняться к Коргу и Роланду😉✌️ Спасибо огромное за обзор!!! 🤝🤝🤝

[@pereiralatino]

By my own experience, i own both and i can tell i like better how korg's styles sound more natural it sounds warmer than s950...but Yamaha wins on quality-feel and on professionally styles construction and way smoother transactions between fill ins, intros, variations, endings...both are just amazing..

[@LeonDsouza-sh6fl]

the yamaha psr s950 is awesome because i have it

[@jiblexxchef8950]

17 years im playing .. my love is only yamaha😍loved the sound and easy to use .. live shows yamaha is the king

[@EddieD54321]

I've always loved and preferred Yamaha equipment. I own a Tyros 1 as well as a LOT of other Yamaha stuff. I just ordered the Korg PA900 :-) Touch screen, deep editing, superior (to my ears) sound quality, the Korg just seems to offer so much more control over so many of the parameters.

[@AkshatJ]

Well Korg has a sharper voice. Its good but what I feel is that when you are working on a track on a keyboard, you will prefer a little more dynamic voice and some soothing styles which add up to whatever you create. Yamaha will definitely have a greater impact on the listener. Plus, the the in-built speakers of the S950 are mind blowing. Their bass output is extra-ordinary. So I would definitely go with Yamaha. But yes will have to say, in some aspects, Korg sounds great. (Like the orchestral tutti)

[@harshrajsingh6426]

Akshat J. Have you ever listened to the korg's built in speakers?Even the pa 300 can kill yamaha psr s 950's speaker sound...

[@superkotelnik9594]

Korg is the best, I'm going to buy it :-)

[@GrahamJadav]

have used yamaha for years and loved it.. but undoubtedly Korg sounds more realistic.. close your eyes, and u feel like listening to real orchestra.... yamaha on the other hand, so sharp sounds and it will feel definitely that its an electronic sound...

[@190374190374]

Ja tez mam Yamahe (Tyros4) i niewiem czy jak bym mial kupowac ponownie czy niekupil bym S 950. Na tym filmie to chyba jak dla mnie wygrywa nieznacznie Korg. Widzialem na innym filmie jak brzmi S 950 i powalilo mnie brzienie jej perkusji (mysle ze nawet lepsze od Tyrosa 4) a tu jakos tak troche ,,lekko sztucznie,, moze to wszystko zalezy od nagrania i od odsluchu?

[@fredvillaume8490]

PA900 the best !! especially as it's got a big touch screen !!

[@MichaelSewgoolam]

Your skills are great.

[@EddieDaka]

yamaha what a user friendly thing,salute you,i got a psr S650

[@ethanchemxananou8099]

Two thumbs up👍👍 Korg pa900... I got Yamaha Tyros4.. I still think Korg pa900 sounds better than Yamaha psr950.

[@abz124816]

Nice playing, I like your licks... indigenous to the instruments that you're playing. Sounds smooth and studied.

[@korg689]

Clear Sound: Yamaha Simply Operated: Yamaha Most important...!!! Low Prices: YAMAHA...!!! Yamaha is the best...!!!

[@user-pk2hy7td3z]

авито

[@ananthukrishnan1138]

no, korg is the best only professional can use that not yamaha..

[@BoobLover4Life]

+Ananthu Krishnan yamaha s models seem stuck in the past with using buttons on everything. Pa900 has an amazing touch screen and easy to use. The Yamaha is harder to figure out.

[@udhi_gn3893]

biasa mah...orang indonesia mayoritas yamaha...hehe

[@udhi_gn3893]

well...he's from indonesia. in indonesia, yamaha is the majority

[@harshrajsingh6426]

Something about psr s 950 is that it looks way more good than the s 970..

[@TheUkrapster]

I would like to ask one subjective question... Which did the keyboardist prefer playing? I'm in two minds as to which one to buy and things like keyboard key action/feel are important to me as well as sound. Which one gave the most pleasure whilst playing. Hence it being a subjective question...

[@JackZeru]

First time seeing this video, I thought let me choose not to see which keyboard is getting played first and the other one second - so I don't know the order or which one is getting played. I close my eyes as I open this video link, scroll the page down as much as possible so the video pane goes out of sight and as the playing starts, I rate the keyboards. The first keyboard wins 6-1 for me... losing one in the part played towards the end. Go Korg... Go figure! :)

[@lakshitharanasinghe3896]

Yamaha: Nothing much has changed from old PSR days: Still sounds incomplete

[@zzcleff]

Yamaha s950 sound more realistic. I sold my pa900

[@dorivalvarginha]

I Agree

[@RobDelisa]

I'm leaning towards the Korg, but it's a close call.

[@afairbien]

Noooo Really ?

[@harshrajsingh6426]

Worst decision ever ever made

[@neilstraus5156]

jajaja en lo unico que yamaha le gana a korg es en sus sonidos de saxo y su estilo de jazz por lo demas la korg le gana en todo a yamaha sobre todo en sonidos de guitarra korg suena real y las guitarras de yamaha suenan a juguete no hay mas que decir korg fue mejor en este versus

[@ranroby1]

When talking about style designing, korg rules. on the other hand, yamaha's styles are a way more dominant and "supporting" the performer better; what increases the effect of "real playing band" (great drums and bass backing). wish the'll co-operate one day :-)

[@groupbonton]

yamaha is great ....yamaha sharp and clear sound....

[@thebest125125125ni]

Muito bom, tenho o PA800 e pretendo comprar esse!

[@keanuman1]

I Buy Yamaha PSR s950. The difference is clearly enough when I play 2 different keyboards (of course with my ears hahahaha. Instead I play Korg PA 600 because the sounds/styles are same as Korg PA 900). In Korg PA 600/900, the style sounds are not louder/busier with each variations/fill-in(s) as the PSR s950 does. I prefer Yamaha PSR s950 for myself, and also the audio style technology comes real in drum/percussion.

[@error0x3e]

Друзья, я не знаю, КАК, скажите мне КАК можно НЕ СЛЫШАТЬ превосходство, натуральность, и естественность звучания КОРГА?! У меня просто волосы дыбом встают, когда без каких-либо комментариев отдают предпочтение Ямахе! Я согласен с одним из уже имеющихся комментариев к данному ролику. Ямаха - лидер однозначный по СТИЛЯМ, но в плане тембров - КОРГ - без вариантов....Яма на фооне него имеет очень синтетический "привкус"!

[@Königsberg39]

ВООТ! И я о том же.Мне очень нравятся Ямахи,а к Коргам относился прохладно,НО тут!!! Просто надо не верить своим ушам,что бы утверждать,что 950ая звучит лучше.У музыканта же есть слух!Или это люди с извращённым вкусом?

[@BurjTatar]

корг ужасен именно своим грязным звуком... у ямахе звуки не синтетичексий а идеально обработанные и подчищенные... в студиях мирового уровня... а корг оставляет легкую грязь... именно это и даёт так называемый эффект живости... у ямахи все звучит БЕЗУПРЕЧНО... как будто это абсолютный эталон интьсрумента... отсюда и такое впечатление... все упирается в технологии сэмплирования! однозначно ЯМАХА! только ямаха!

[@technically1055]

BurjTatar Корг рулит . Ямаха звучит как музыка из дешевых сериалов или из кабака. Какойто у вас слух кривой. Обратитесь к врачу.

[@BurjTatar]

Оставьте свое некомпетентное мнение при себе. Переходя на личности вы унижаете в первую очередь себя. По поводу моего слуха-вы не врач, и я сомневаюсь, что вы вообще обладаете каким либо образованием. Очередной выскочка с ущемленным самолюбием. Говоря о железе - говорите о железе, а не обо мне.

[@Niminuschii]

Корг ! Обьём, архитектура звука реалистичней. Как аранжировочная станция имеет больше функционала. Можно многократно накладывать сложные партии на один трек !!!

[@odiljonmirzakarimov1815]

Korg pa 900 Best

[@danielsantoso2344]

I like Yamaha, I like piano + string, music style.......

[@aristotelesarief]

Yes, saya juga suka sekali dengan Ambient Piano + Movie String nya...

[@RaulMarcio]

I'm Yamaha, but I think that this Korg sounded more natural, realistic.

[@Musik_Ndeso]

to output the sound I still choose korg pa 800 korg pa than 900 or s 950 for korg pa 800 has 4 out

[@harunsubasic3014]

YAMAHA is the best because it has realistic sound and that is most important if you want to play an instrument. YAMAHA

[@paulsiberian5460]

I would not call the speakers Korg Pa900 crap. They sound great. Well, who's stopping you ready compositions made ​​on this instrument, listen to the best speaker system designed for this. If the tool is used to performing on stage, you have to take the sound from the line out to the respective speakers. A built-in speakers are needed for home use. By the way, Yamaha Amplifier 2x15 Watts. while the Korg - 2x20 Watts. Speakers both comparable quality. As for the video - Korg Pa900 is the best!

[@BorisTrkulja]

Ketron!!!build like a tank,very realistic sounds,easy to use.n'1.

[@aakashsunil3158]

Which keyboard is best between these korg 900 and yamaha s950

[@dpuffins]

i tried both at l&m store in canada, yamaha's sounds r very pleasant to hear than the korg pa900, so i bought the psr s950.

[@ronct]

Is the clip a recording of the keyboard actual speakers or were the output jacks used? The Yamaha sounds "clearer" but the Korgs instrument sounds were far better. The styles from both were typical of arranger type keyboards. They all begin to sound like muszak after 2 minutes even the Tyros and PA3x.

[@SergeSidorovStudio]

Если в тест вместо кантри/блюзовых стилей включить танцевальное (Dance) направление, то ситуация может сильно поменяться. Причём не в пользу Корга.

[@skidlyane]

А может и нет ((( только за счёт пакета расширения стилей и звуков. Когда-то PSR 500 была прорывом вперёд в стилях, потом PSR 740 и PSR 3000. А теперь как-то слабовато с этим у Ямах.(((

[@SergeSidorovStudio]

Sergey dz У 950-ой с танцевальными стилями всё хорошо (особенно с Euro-dance pack). Также всегда доступна огромная библиотека дополнительных стилей на Psrtutorial Но я себе всё-таки взял Korg PA900

[@allezegains3293]

Best to do what I did & buy both... to tide me over until the Tyros 6!

[@Zakonnik2024]

Yamaha has always made its position on classical instruments and sound more softer than that of Roland and Korg. Compared even with his Yamaha piano S650 even she wins Korg PA600. These Yamaha sound comes from a family of models S90 and Tyros, and thus sounds. Listen Tyros from 1 to 4 and S90 models and hear the difference. I live in Russia, so the sound and the price is very important. Profit on our 15,000 a month. It's about your $ 500. So the price / quality for us is very important.

[@MrBillf31]

The screen on the Korg PA900 is far far better than on the Yamaha S950, on the Yamaha one you can not see the tabs across the top in a normal sitting position. I agree the piano is better on the Yamaha though.

[@RobDelisa]

I just don't see how anyone can be so sure how one is better than the other. It might be helpful to hear just bare sounds, one at a time on both instruments. The Yamaha, based on this video sounds a little brighter in tone. Could be the speakers, who knows. I think this is too close to call - and may really be more a matter of personal preference. I wish I had either of them.

[@ace.ccanty7209]

Just curious.. All those that says the Yamaha sounds better...... Must not be listening with headphones? Because the korg won in every example.. I mean take a close listen at that last track.. Ummm.. that harmonica on the korg...sweet. Even the guy playing played that last song a lot longer on the korg..than on the yammy...he was feeling it......it just sounded real.. I m sorry.. The korg has soul.

[@saryan155]

True. Korg wins it all.

[@ashnaura]

Agree with you.. Being a Yamaha owner for 15 years, I see that the realism that Korg has brought about in the sounds is amazing.

[@BoobLover4Life]

Definitely Korg wins. Yamaha sounds so plain and no emotion whatsoever. Korg pa900 is the winner in every department.

[@peruvianmidilover1216]

AlbostyleG you really need to listen to the real acoustic instruments, and you will notice that the Yamaha sounds like the real thing.

[@dante5829]

Guys tell me, I'm at the stage of purchase, which device is better for creating music in the style of club music, techno dance, trance, synth pop? So far I have settled on YAMAHA PSR S670 and Roland fantom -6

[@robfriedrich2822]

Yamaha has a steel strings egg slicer, but I like the acoustic piano more. At Korg I prefer the electric piano. Electric guitar is on Yamaha better because the virtual amplifiers

[@adadierperdomourquina5471]

Both teams ... spectacular ... I like the Korg Pa 900 , compared to the Yamaha , but the Yamaha , in mine case in Colombia has representatives ... and the prices are accequibles , opposite the Korg , which has a difference of nearly a million pesos. Korg Pa 900 , includes more tools like TC HELICON technology, which is an amazing help for us who sometimes we have to do solo performances ... of course requires more management Korg operating system , whereas the Yamaha , by having your keys in view management is easier and faster . Korg Gentlemen , lower prices ... and in the case for Colombia ... and the countries of Latin America , do more precencia ... blessings to all .

[@J4R3]

yamaha sounds clean and clear

[@ssderi9975]

I think everyone comment on what they play, I've had Yamaha for years but someone left very true comment here said just close you eyes and listen and then compare, I really did it and I think Yamaha has smoother sounds but korg is more solid in style and sound. watch tyros 5 vs korg px3 please.

[@ldsonlinebh]

Korg!!!

[@KOISANX]

1) Different timbres and instruments both in backing and lead make for difficult comparison? Yamaha more gritty, more real; Korg smooth

[@freddymay2406]

Yamaha реалистичнее? - Вы о чём? В гитарах она вообще не похожа. Именно в этом видео Korg побеждает по звуку (исключая рояль, которым ни один Korg похвастаться не может). Продал Korg, купил Yamaha - молодец, легче работать будет, ну а гитарные партии на настоящей гитаре сыграешь. Честно сказать я не верю этому видео, инструменты явно по разному настроены по частотам.

[@user-qj8cg1bf5u]

For more than all the comments Korg have DNC mode but Yamaha is normal for usages Korg is first quality and quantity 👌 😌 💯 👏 Yamaha is second in all the sources...

[@anhkiemnhaccu]

950>900

[@SuperDENIST]

Pity to say that you seem to be the only deaf guy fomr here. Yamaha has the most realistic sounds because they are taken from the legendary Tyros 4. Just because in this demo Yamaha was less used and got simpler demos and styles it doesn't mean it isn't better than Korg. It is. Everybody knows that. At sound realism, Yamaha always was at the forefront and it still remains the king. At least did you hear Korg's piano+strings? Synthesized sound and too crisp. The rest is the same.

[@harshrajsingh6426]

In the Yamaha he did use one of the worst unplugged guitar sound.. so what we got is Korg sounding good in the unplugged guitar compared to Yamaha ... But the reality is that Yamaha beats Korg as it is 200% more realistic than Korg.

[@mcx671]

me quedo con Korg en general

[@mpps28]

Thanks for the comparison.How do find the keys on them.keys on yamaha are sub standard in terms of feel.I am sure the keys on korg are semi weighted and feel good. What is your opinion and also in US the street price of both of them are $1899 however in Australia the Korg is more expensive than yamaha not sure why. I am planning to buy one of them and was confused.I guess the overall sounds on yamaha sound better because of excellent inbuilt amp and speakers. The speakers on Korg Pa900 are crap

[@LanceOR2011]

You are right. Just close your eyes, and the Yamaha is noticeably thinner than the Korg.

[@Krishnan564]

Love yamaha better

[@harshrajsingh6426]

What happened with the country style of yamaha?

[@ThiagoSecundo]

Korg wins this in audio quality. But im biased to yamaha for the easier of use and cheaper reason

[@albertocaiza4236]

mi criterio personal el YAMAHA tiene mas brillo en todos sus sonidos...verdad?

[@paulchapman2923]

Yamaha Definitely sounds more realistic in this video and I made sure and cleaned my ears before I watched the video...heehee

[@SuperInstitute]

Did you use foot pedal for both of them??

[@ososordo]

very good player congratulations

[@Zacharesa24]

Korg Pa900 is better than Psr 950,I have Tyros 4 and Korg pa900 and I thing the sounds from Korg is much more realistic,Korg Pa900 has much more better mic soudns. Yamaha psr 950 is good but can be layered only 2 voices,korg 3 voices so the Korg is better.

[@roonymoody3492]

KORG is more balanced and focused. But strings is Yamaha's strength.

[@TheWersiman]

What you own always sounds better. Different strokes for different folks. Me. Go, Yamaha.

[@babasax554]

remarkable difference

[@amroon777]

I think Korg got this one!!

[@chocolatebonfire]

Yamaha sounds better according me. Everybody has their own preferences!

[@SuperDENIST]

It is not an opinion. It is simply the truth.

[@felekmarczak6801]

Wiecej tak melodyjnych utworow na testach klawiszy

[@sfernando1]

wish you gave your UNBIASED opinion too. Korg sounds better, probably with Helicon on board too.

[@SaoirseYousuf]

Which unit sold the most - Korg or Yamaha?

[@dominggusdominggusg7252]

Yamaha terbanyak karena ada tingkatan rendah sampai series tertinggi

[@andriswinoto]

according to the price PSRS 950 wins,

[@puzirew]

Korg has more "adult" sound. Even usual Yamaha's advantage on pianos is not so unquestionable.

[@MCKiLLER.]

Could u do more korg pa900 sounds etc

[@HaiderOmar]

Yamaha for the win!

[@AbmAsif]

I have Yamaha psr-s750 and thinking of upgrading to Korg pa3x or Yamaha-psr-s970, any ideas which one is better?

YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SPEAKING ABOUT !!!!!!

[@afairbien]

He really Don't Know man .

[@22davenuts]

yamaha sounds better if you have a hotdog in your ear ,lol !!! ,

[@confidential303]

I like the korg brand and build better but I have to admit yamaha have better acoustic sounds, hate to admit it ..though some korg sounds are good but I have x5d korg and korg m1 and the piano sucks for playing souls ..for playing Latin it has good piano. If I am gonna by I will go for s770. korg is out of the picture. I looked for korg pa4x en Kronos but the sound quality is not that what I expected.

[@awakeamericanow]

Yamaha, hands down, cleaner, crisper, better base definition,

[@kobbiahmad8406]

really ! i have yamaha s950 .. but in this video the korg is the winner

[@saryan155]

Ok, I need a new keyboard and it will be the Korg for me

[@user-fc6py6be6w]

Personally my opinion, that Yamaha on much more beautiful sounds what Korg

[@vladimirlautar1195]

Ребятки,читая ваши коментарии,кроме BurjTatar,и я хочу продолжить скорее его точку зрения!Складывается впечатление,что вы совершенно далеки и не знаете о технологиях сэмплирования ничего,а именно то,что у Корга они не совершенны абсолютно,учитывая тот факт,сколько гигабайт потрачено на бесполезное Пиано,которое не впечатлило меня совершенно,как и гитары! Что касается барабанов,тяжёлый случай... И как можно говорить далее о превосходстве Корга над Ямахой мне не понятно!

[@skidlyane]

[@lslbassman]

Now I use a Korg PA900 But I feel the yamaha better.

[@CreativefilmbyAlexeySosnin]

И всё таки KORG! Звуки мягче и реалистичней ,не бьёт по ушам,хотя по дизайну однозначно yamaha)

can anyone tell me which has the better vocal sound? i have a yamaha s900 and the vocal sound is awesome! any comparisons welcome i am needing a new keyboard my s900 is about 10 years old! and been amazing!

[@THEL0NEARRANGER]

Yamaha came out with the newer VH2 on the S950 which I have had since 2013. I use several vocal setups that I have created and use. You can check out my set up here on KZbin if you would like to hear some examples.

[@verkehrsteilnehmer-berlin]

Both together

[@avy5474]

Yamaha sounds clean and better.

[@harunsubasic3014]

i agree with you :)

[@dorivalvarginha]

I Agree

[@technically1055]

the point is not to have clean sound , it should be realistic. Korg is realistic. maybe is not so clean but still much more realistic ))
