Psr S970 Yamaha Keyboard

[Sullivan Maurer]

Isthere any way to play my s970 sounds in Yamaha p115 by midi'ng them both? I feel that the s970 piano tones will sound good when it played in weighted keys. Is it possible to achieve that setup with these two keyboards? If so, what should I have to do? How do I connect them? Thanks in advance.

The P115 does not have 'real' MIDI connectors; it has only a USB port.And USB makes a strict distinction between a device and a host, so the P115's "USB TO HOST" port works only when connected to a host (a PC), not to another device.

The PSR-S970 is the flagship model of the S-series, and combines all the functionality of the other models in the range together with powerful performance features including versatile effects inherited from the legendary Tyros 5, external display capability and a programmable vocal harmony function. Yamaha continues to offer incredible musical technology and innovation with the new Yamaha PSR S970 arranger workstation keyboard.

The Yamaha PSR S970 workstation keyboard effectively blurs the line between digital and acoustic sound and the result will change your musical perceptions forever.

Acoustic instrument articulations, nuances and dynamics are challenging to reproduce. As the worlds largest musical instrument manufacturer, Yamaha has perfected both the science and art of this process to bring you the most sophisticated, musical-sounding and easy-to-play instrument Voices.

Every now and again myself and colleague Keith Rawlinson get to escape the shop for the day to preview new products with Yamaha , on this occasion it was for the August 2015 launch of the new PSRS series Keyboards - PSR-S670 - PSRS-770 - PSR-S970 and the new CVP700 series Digital Pianos - CVP701 - CVP705 - CVP709

The widescreen effect is the first visual difference you notice , compared to the square screen of the S950 , the 7 inch TFT Widescreen of the S970 certainly looks sleeker , more modern , clearer and lesss cluttered than its predecessor.There are over 200 extra sounds on the S970 when compared to the S950, although obviously the quality rather than quantity of voices is more important , as a general rule the "SA" or "Super Articulation" are amongst the best voices , in this respect the S970 is well endowed with more than double the SA voices of its predecessor. Its not all about SA voices though there are some excellent new voices in all the other categories , such as 7 more mega voices , 4 more sweet , 10 more cool voices , 50 more live voices and 10 more organ flutes.

Previously only the Tyros models have the capacity to have a sensible amount of expansion , now with a built in 512mb of sample memory, customers will be able to purchase "tyros type " expansion packs from www.yamahamusicsoft.com . In addition you can also import third party samples such as those supplied by www.ttt-sounds.com.If anyone has any difficulty in downloading or using their packs all AC Hamilton customers benefit from friendly help and technical support from our affable technical whizz kid Mr Keith Rawlinson whose patience is limitless when coming to the aid of our customers.

A big part of an authentic sound is the effects , the new VCM ( Virtual Circuit Modelling ) if you play guitar you know that it makes a huge difference what amplifier and effects you plug you're guitar into and put simply VCM means that you are getting the proper effect of an iconic amplifier, as used by famous guitarists from various decades going back to the 60's.

This product is currently selling approximately in the region of GBP 1300 , this is quite a shock , given that a lot of the technology is based on the Tyros 5 and its predecessor the PSRS950 started its life around the GBP 1650 mark. Anyone thinking of purchasing a used Tyros 4 should definitely consider the S970 , you're getting Tyros 5 technology in a 2015 keyboard as opposed to the Tyros 4 which is around 2010 technology, there are lots of benefits to the S970 over the Tyros 4 such as 40 fabulous audio styles versus zero audio styles on the Tyros 4 , in addition there are many higher quality sounds and effects on the S970 that the Tyros 4 simply does not have , plus for me personally its significant that my favourite voice on the Tyros 4 , the Boys Choir is now on the S970 as well
