Thank you for your roses.
I know that if you had a Pa5X, I would have received a lot of feedback.
An SX900 will in any case be a formidable upgrade for you, who are used to the Tyros1 and the E series.
Your music will be given new life.
Good luck with your new model !

That sounds reasonable.
The longer you can keep both the better, and maybe you should keep both.
For my part, I am super happy with Pa5X, despite all the bugs.
Editing has never been so easy before.
I've also just managed to fix my Audya, which is actually even more advanced than the Pa5X, and has more features - that no one else has.
Building new styles is even easier with Audya, and it has other possibilities, plus it has the amazing software Compiler; the most advanced software ever created for an arranger.

Location: London
Bio: My name is James (alias James Tyros, I adopted as a username on some of my performances when I discovered Yamaha Tyros).
I was born in 1960 in a North East Coastal Town called Hartlepool (don’t mention the monkey!). I moved to London in 1992. In 1971 my parents were given an old upright piano from an elderly friend. My sisters took no interest but I was fascinated by it and kept hammering away at the ivory's almost daily. My school teacher, at the time, told me that I had an ear for music and a hidden talent. I was always listening to music, be it on the radio or record player at home. Often falling asleep with the radio plugged into my ears at night!
The first notes I started to pick out was identified from Beautiful Dreamer, which was constantly being played on the record player at home. I followed it repeatedly and with practice, trial and error, that became my first piece which I picked up by ear. Over the years I found I was able to listen to most music a few times and pick it up on the piano. I couldn't quite get the left hand too well without 'vamping' too much! I was then treated me to my first electronic organ. Actually it was a table top Bontempi in bright red with chord push buttons on the left. Bought from the Co-op with stamps, so you can imagine it. Small, plastic and tin box sound but to me was a joy! The rest is history but needless to say I adapted to the organ far better than the piano. I'd never consider myself a pianist, although I have hammered out some old time sing-a-longs at various charity events. But the organ became my foundation and still is today. I never learned to play off music. I don't consider myself a perfect keyboard player but am told otherwise.
To me playing by ear holds many advantages, ability just to listen to music and pick it up on the keys. But it’s not just playing by memory. I know what a key should sound like before I play it. Of course I would have loved to be able to study and read music but never had the opportunity. It's also a joy to improvise with various pieces and to create my own renditions.
I am now the proud owner of Yamaha Genos 2 and KORG PA5X and in 2025 recent purchase of a KETRON EVM Module with Touchscreen. Previously, Yamaha Tyros 3, 4, 5 and various electronic organs such as Orla, Yamaha PSR-540 and Yamaha Electone FE-40. I have had the pleasure of playing Hammond and Yamaha with Leslie speakers in club bookings. I had regular venues in North East pubs and clubs in the early years. Nowadays I play more as a personal hobby at home. I still enjoy composing my own compositions. Amongst my previous performances, I play pieces from the late great and inspirational Klaus Wunderlich on Tyros 3. The tracks are picked from what I think was Klaus Wunderlich best album 'Dream Concerto'.
I enjoy listening and reading about other performers, amateur or otherwise, in order to learn from each other. I particularly like to hear from other performers who play by ear.

As a new member to this forum, and long time member of similar forums, I am definitely supporting the KORG PA5X!
I’ve always owned Yamaha range from Tyros 3, 4 and 5 to the latest currently owned Genos 2. I added the 61 key KORG PA5X to go alongside Genos 2. Two completely different keyboards. I love the semi weighted keys on the KORG. The well constructed and heavy cabinet. I purchased this particularly for the synth sounds, and that the KORG is more of an arranger. I also enjoy the strings and piano on the KORG. It’s an incredible machine which I always look forward to exploring it more everytime I play it. I think I’ve learned more about the KORG PA5X through forums and YouTube videos which had inspired me to take the plunge and buy one. No regrets whatsoever.
My main keyboard is the Genos 2. Love the registration system in this, especially for recording. As my previous keyboard was the first Genos, this newer model is more familiar to me and easier to get around. Genos 2 is a workstation and has some incredible sounds and styles.
So you can add me to the 15 members plus who currently love and own a KORG PA5X!
Best wishes
James.

Trouble is too many people give up at the first hurdle rather than spend time sitting and learning what resources that have.
