Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased the Yamaha PSR-S710 solely on the basis of its acoustic piano voices, which are excellent and realistic sounding. There are basically three acoustic pianos on it, bright, grand, and warm. Some others in the GM/XG and GM2 sections.
I do not compose or write songs, so I can't comment on those features, although it seems they too are very good.
You can, of course, edit any voice over a lot of parameters such as brightness, etc., the usual, and there are also some synth-like parameters that can be tweaked for further customization. I was able to improve the piano voices significantly and easily by custom editing.
There is an excellent mixing console also, and some recording features which I have not had time to explore.
One unexpected item was the Organ Flutes, a section of voices that are essentially conventional Hammond-style or pipe organ voices with complete drawbar capabilities, making the Organ Flutes section just really the best organ voicing and very easy to use. This section alone was a great surprise.
Organ Flutes are not new to Yamaha keyboards, but in my experience with organ voicing long ago, with rack units such as the Roland JV880, organ voicing had to be user-programmed and was difficult. Drawbars eliminate programming and make organ voicing realistic.
Overall, as can be expected from Yamaha, well designed, easy to use (I figured it out first, then referred to the manual for additional items), easy to play, and a worthy purchase.
