Hi Daniel, I take it you have used/owned either one or both of these keyboards? I currently own a very meager yamaha psr-290, so any of these 3 would be a giant leap upwards. Here's what I found regarding the two yamaha's, I'd be grateful if you could check my statements for validity :)
PSR s750: - Expandable: styles and voice packages can be downloaded for the board, which I believe you cannot do with the mox. - traditional approach: I got the idea the psr still uses the concept of styles and accompaniments, while the mox works a little differently, focusing on individual parts and linking them together to eventually create songs. This looks more powerful, but also more complex. - The mox has the ability to allow for incoming mic signal processing, for example to vocode it onto another voice. I believe the psr does not do this, or only the s950 does. - The mox appears to be more focused on being able to tweak your voices to the smallest detail while the psr s750 is more bread and butter with somewhat less editing capabilities when it comes to that. - I believe the psr has double the poliphony, if I remember off the top of my head. - Lastly, I believe the PSR can record to USB storage while the mox cannot do this. These are some jumbled impressions of what I found reading reviews and watching video demo's. You say the song and performance modes and such are very accessible, how does that work? Do you have a menu layout of some kind for these? Sorry for my many questions, I wish to know as much information as possible before making my choice. I want to invest in an instrument I can still count on in 5, maybe 10 years :) Florian 2013/5/5, Daniel Romero <[email protected]>: > Hey! I'm a Yamaha snob.
