PSR SX920 Features

Featuring the latest Super Articulation technology and new Portamento Crossfade, the new PSR-SX will make your playing much more expressive and exciting.

The power of the Style Insertion DSP has been doubled compared to previous models, taking sound quality even further. And with new Dynamic Style Control, you decide the energy and intent of each Style, for an even more dynamic and sophisticated performance.

Over 1300 voices and hundreds of styles.

Unleash your musical creativity! These powerful Workstations feature over 1300 high-quality Voices and hundreds of Styles, all with OTS (One Touch Settings) so you can start playing right out of the box.

Use the Live Controllers to fine-tune the energy and intent of any Style with Dynamic Style Control. With twice as many DSP Insert Effects for Styles as the previous model, both traditional and new Styles included, and new Voices and Effects, your sound will be more refined, making your performance even more sophisticated.

For the first time on an SX Series instrument, the PSR-SX920 features Super Articulation2 (S.Art2) technology. With virtually no action required on your part, S.Art2 brings unprecedented realism to Voices, adding articulations specific to acoustic instruments to make your performance even more authentic.

Plus, with the new Super Articulation+ (S.Art+) Voices on both models, you can switch between different articulations with the push of a button.

With the new Portamento Crossfade, you can smoothly shift pitch, make fluid transitions, and add expressiveness to your music. For even more performance flexibility, the PSR-SX920 features 8 assignable panel buttons, 6 on-screen shortcuts, and 2 Live Controllers, giving you quick access to your favorite functions and settings.

Portamento is a musical technique that allows you to change pitch smoothly, creating a continuous, fluid transition between notes. The PSR-SX’s Portamento Crossfade function smoothly varies the pitch between the notes you play, making your performance much more expressive and exciting.

Performance Features

With the performance-focused features in the PSR-SX920, you’ll shine every time you’re on stage. Chord Looper allows you to loop chord progressions, so you can focus on two-handed playing or soloing – without worrying about the chord changes.

Effortlessly load and cue up songs from your personal library or the Yamaha Musicsoft online store using the built-in playback buttons, ensuring smooth transitions during your live performances. USB audio recording and playback let you capture and relive your performances with ease.

Style Section Reset keeps your virtual drummer perfectly on beat with a single button press, even during unexpected time changes. Plus, the Vocal Harmony engine adds rich, layered harmonies to your voice, ensuring every note you sing is in perfect harmony.
