Did you get to hear the PSR-S900 dance music at the end? Maybe it didn’t download the podcast in full.

Hi James, another nice Podcast.
I heard the dance stuff at the end. The podcast finishes at 29.12 mins and is 33.4mb in size.

Hi James,
A great Podcast. Very interesting and enjoyable. Great sounds from the new keyboards which must represent excellent value for money. Those looking to purchase should have all the info they want there. Well done.

Hi James,
I was unable to hear the entire podcast as well.
I only got to about the 13 minute mark, just a bit after
the 405 main demonstration. I tried 3 times with same results.

James,
I am really impressed with the new Clavinova. The track for the demo at the end of the podcast is the same one they used to demo the Tyros2 http://www.yamaha-europe.com/yamaha_europe/download/mp3/10_musical_instruments/portable_keyboards/portatone_psr_series/Tyros_2/128kbs_Tyros2_Demo-Song_Dance.mp3
The two keyboards are close.

Hi James,
Really enjoyed this podcast, and it gave me more insight into the S900, and it’s sounds!
The podcast is a great idea, James!!

Great podcast. I really like the sound of the PSR S900. The built in microphone input is a great idea too.
Does anyone know how the sound of the S900 compares to the MM6 synth?
