Yamaha PSR-S970 Demo & Review 06 - Tyros & PSR external monitor, firmware upgrade and Woody rants!

Gday Mate. Very well done and no more spooky shadows in the background. Thanks for that.
Can you connect a monitor to most Keyboards via USB? Or would only be possible if keyboards only have that option and have a VGA interface on the Keyboard like yours? Eg FA08 or Yamaha MOXF?

Congratulations for the interesting review.I would like to know the model of the monitor, benq. Thanks for the attention. Greetings from ITALY

Where did you buy this stand from?

Hey Woody you can actually change the voice selection function by going to the config2 page in the utility section and change the voice catagory button options from open and select to open only.

keep up the good work 👍😁

Where did you buy your monitor from?

very good vid woody never ever thought of connecting a screen?

Sir Could you tell me the link download firmware update for yamaha psr s970 ?

Sir, Could you tell me, Why we needed to update firmware version on YAMAHA PSR S970 OR... ?

I think the Roland lets you hear the sounds as you go through them turning the dial and not have to hit enter key. Nice but Roland doesn't support with lots of third party sounds.

Sir, if you don't mind I want you to make a video. how to create style on yamaha psr s970

Nice demo....very informative ....would like to see a PT2 more on how to attach monitor to stand close up pics on mounts, how to, etc,....Thanx

Sir,what about s 950,it also has a video out option

Merci very much for you'r presentation

Great videos Woody, Where do you get the stand?

Thanks for your video. I do have already yamaha1.05, but my q. is about monitor,
Your 24 inch monitor is almost good . I think 20 inch will be better.
I did try 25.7 and it is not good. Maybe you no which one is better ???

sir i had my kyboard but display is broken i cant see anything so i can use this monitor to conect

Hello dear Woody. Your monitor seems great. Could you tell us what is the exact model of the monitor? I would try to buy a similar one. Is that is a bit complicated for mee took the keyboard with me to try a monitor. Thanks :) (sorry bad english, greetings from Portugal)

are these keyboards available in the US? Havent heard much about these around here. Very fun looking machine! Vision impaired so having external output would be a huge pluss for me. Would I have to import one and would it work? Yamaha has been known to have some models to be reajen specific so that's why I ask. Thanks and great demonstrations!

is this psr worth buying for one man band performance? what are sounds and styles like ? also is there any glitch while changing sounds during performance?

may I ask one question? how did you do that? the computer monitor connect with keyboard stand?

Dear Woody, Ive had a 970 for 15 months now and love it...totally self taught so far, so your videos are a great asset to me. I want to expand my ability to use many of the functions i.e. Style creator etc but simply cannot find any videos that actually show you what to do. I live in Northamptonshire and am a member of the PSR Tutorial Forum but alas there seems few 970 owners in England ? Any ideas please. (btw, Im using my wife's sign in so dont be fooled by the name you see, its hers !!) Thank you either way, David

Are you tried projector??????

It has too many buttons for my liking and functions.

Hey hey happy Hair Cut , lessening the chance of more bad Hair daze ? As always thanks for the UTube videos
What is the compatible resolution ? you found that worked best ?

As for those PSR Button Switches that are located next to the display ? Yes a regular pain in the ass I have a few others synths with similar aggravating Button Issues but I have found a fix ? First make a cardboard or plastic sheet and make a template that allows the Chiclet Switches to protrude.

Then either use a bright colored electrical type vinyl tape easy to find or I have used Nail Polish which my wife
has many colors & finishes of find one that suites your needs something that can be seen well in a dark area,
like the type of lighting that were subjected to on stage. And or buy any number of these new GOOSENECK led
lamps and modify it to attach to the rear of your keyboard to shed some light on this matter. Keep up the great
Videos and to all of us remember to practice and to floss daily..

woow amazing experience

Will be better with a touch screen :)

I'm not so sold on attaching a monitor to my keyboard for my use, but if I were teaching others to play the keyboard i'd use this, or perhaps use this for Karaoke, etc.. As it is,I use a Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 w/MobileSheets Pro as a display base for my sheet music (I've got perhaps 10,000 pieces of music on this tablet and it has totally deleted the need for carrying boxes of sheet music. I also use an AirTurn Ped for Bluetooth page turning. This works beautifully. By the way, thanks for reminding me to check and upgrade my firmware. Sometimes when you're playing every day, you forget to do such things regularly.

If it's a touch screen monitor, will it send the command to the keyboard? Thank you in advance.

Actually how is the keyboard

Still ..... Extreamly important for me as a newcoumber!

Do you still have your PSR-S970? Did you try to connect an HDMI monitor to the RGB output? I don’t want to “try three or four monitors” like you did. Plus, I also need a lightweight display, like current TV displays available from big box stores (Best Buy). They also have more “scaling” options to solve the distorted wide screen that you got. BUT the current displays available have only HDMI input. So, any tips on a VGA to HDMI adapter would be helpful. Adapters seem to include a USB dongle for power. Can I just plug that into the USB TO DEVICE port of the PSR? Thanks for any thoughts.

Hey Woody, I love my PSR-S970 . I use it in combination with my Yamaha Motif MOXF6 at live performances and the two combined are like magic ! I play many genre (Big Band, New Age, Rock, Blues, Gospel, Movie Soundtracks ,R&B, Country, Classical, etc.) of music with the two and when playing with a regular band I use the PSR-S970's organ section because it's like having a dedicated organ with the MOXF6 . Love your video's because I play by ear only. Can't read a lick of music , but the PSR -S970 tells me what chords I'm playing which help when you have other musicians working with you. Please keep up the great video's so I can learn hands on all about my PSR. Thanks So Much, Pat Simmons

Very helpful but how can I use my iPad or any tab as my external display for the keyboard

which camera do you use

Woody, Thank you very much for the information about how we can install a external monitor with PSR. may i add one more thing which is use full for the rest. Normally i use the inbuilt display to read text /Lyrics chords . ur new external display will help me to see the Lyrics/ chords bigger and easier . Thank u again. May be most of you little confused wat i am saying.
Your question may be like this ...
1. From where we can get the Text files ?
Ans: Go to google , if u wanna get the Lyrics / and Chords of Hotel California , type it and get it , once you get the chords , copy and make it as a Text file and save it to ur usb , put the usb in your PSR and push the Text/ Lyrics Button , Go to usb and copy and paste it to your system and save it . now you can see the chords and play.

Hi Woody, I recently purchased the SX900. could you please tell me if I can connect a monitor and how to go about it. Thank you and thank you for all your wonderful videos!

How do I get all the music finder songs to my tyros5? The manual doesn’t make it clear. If you can help.Thanks.

HI Thanks for the info on adding a monitor to a keyboard, BUT I need one because I am part sighted and have great difficulty in seeing the screen on my Tyros 4. Unfortunnately you skipped through the connections with very little detail as to what goes where,
The video at that pointws dark, and there was no info on exactly how to make the connections, and does doing this just work automatically without furtrher input.
Sorry to be bother but being an OAP (Very) I am not very puter savvy, so any further help would be much appreciated. I looked to be able to send you a PM rather than being on here, showing my ignorance, but that didn't seem possible. Perhaps you could PM me.
Regards

in gem 3 old synth workstation there was a navigation button that u could click it too.. that was awesome .. they stupidly dont do it no more

Hello Woody,
What a large beautiful screen! Do you think it would be possible to display sheet music that would scroll along with your playing? How great it would be ! All those damn paper sheets to the dustbin!

will this video out ability work with s770?

I'm playing my Genos via MIDI, and the Genos is the other side of the room, so I want an external monitor to see the screen. Then I can see what Registrations I am playing.

Does PSR SX700 has a display output option? if so, can It be displayed out to an external touch screen monitor and be operated on that external monitor? if NOT how about PSR SX 900? if so, can it be operated on that external monitor? Thank you.

Hello, could you point me in the right direction please?

A friend had PSR-S970 and I'm trying to see if it can double up as a midi controller keyboard, to connect to PC and a daw.

What is the best method to do this and what cable/s would be needed? Proprietary or not?

I also wonder if the PSR-S970 internal instrument soundbanks can still be accessible within a daw vst style for recording/ live performance?

I'm newish to recording and just use an Arturia keylab Essential, so I don't know much about yamaha arrangers.

Great content, thank you. And apologies if a noob Q!

JE VOUDRAIS CONNAÎTRE LA DÉMARCHE POUR QUE L'ÉCRAN AFFICHE SUR LE MONITEUR EXTERNE.

During a performance it’s extremely hard switching from a style say( ballroom to cha). How to store 10 styles into registration 1,2 and 3. Then those common used voice in groups using remaining 4:5:6:7 for easy access? Thanks 🎹💰🔥👍👍👀👀

Woody, love your videos… hey my S970 gas recently started producing drum sounds when I play some of the keys… even when R1, R2 and left voices are turned off. Any idea where I can get some help?

PSR S 650 its working?
