mmmmIf you’ve got a Yamaha PSR-SX920 — or any of its closely related siblings like the SX700, SX900, or even a Genos 1 or Genos 2 — you’re in for a treat when it comes to recording.
These keyboards all share the same core operating system, which means if you learn how to record on one, you’ve effectively learned them all.
In the video below, I take a hands-on approach to show just how powerful and fun the built-in recording features can be.
I started off with a basic MIDI recording — just me playing a part and having the keyboard play it back. Simple, right?
But even this feature is super handy, and you can overdub more layers if you fancy playing over yourself. I also show how to save your recording to the keyboard’s internal memory, which is great for keeping track of your ideas or practice sessions.
But that’s just the beginning.
The real fun starts when you dive into multi-track MIDI recording. These keyboards are basically professional 16-track studios in disguise.
You can lay down:
Bit by bit, you’re building a full song. And the tools Yamaha have included make it easy to keep everything tight and polished. I used the quantise function to tidy up any slightly wobbly timing, and it worked like a charm.
This is just Part 1 of a video series I’m making on the recording capabilities of these keyboards, so if this sort of thing interests you, definitely keep an eye out for the next instalment.
In Part 2, I’ll be diving into:
Whether you’ve got a PSR-SX700, SX720, SX900, Genos 1, or Genos 2 — you’ll be able to follow all the same steps.
It’s a shared operating system, so once you know your way around one, you’ve cracked the lot.
I hope this blog (and video) gives you the confidence to start experimenting with recording on your Yamaha keyboard. It’s seriously fun and a brilliant way to unlock your creativity.
If you’ve got any questions, feel free to pop them in the comments below — I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
🎬 Stay tuned for Part 2 – coming soon!
