Did you know your Yamaha PSR-SX or Genos keyboard is hiding a secret stash of extra sounds? Many players never realise that, beyond the standard voice selection, hundreds of additional voices are tucked away, waiting to be discovered. If you’ve ever felt like your keyboard’s sound library could use a boost, this trick will open up a whole new world of possibilities.
The extra voices available on Yamaha PSR-SX and Genos keyboards include:
✅ Legacy Voices – Older but still high-quality sounds from previous Yamaha models.
✅ GM/XG/GM2 Voices – Standard MIDI voices used for compatibility with MIDI files, which can be accessed if you know where to look.
✅ Expanded Voice Libraries – Additional variations and instruments that Yamaha includes but doesn’t always highlight in the main menus.
These sounds provide more options for your playing and can be especially useful if you enjoy sequencing, recording, or performing in different styles.
To access these hidden voices, you’ll need to navigate to a lesser-known menu within your keyboard’s interface.
It’s not immediately obvious, but once you know where to look, you’ll have a whole new palette of sounds at your fingertips. The video above walks you through the exact steps so you can try it out for yourself.
Speaking of ‘hidden extras’. Have you seen David’s video below about our extra files on used Yamaha PSR SX-900?
