Building and Performing Songs with the Yamaha PSR-SX920

The Yamaha PSR-SX920 isn’t just an arranger keyboard—it’s a full-fledged music creation station, capable of taking you from initial inspiration to live performance. In a new video, renowned musician Luke Juby, who has worked with several high-profile artists, walks us through how the PSR-SX920’s impressive array of features can be used to build and perform songs straight from the keyboard.

Crafting Songs with Built-In Content

One of the most exciting aspects of the PSR-SX920 is the pre-loaded song library. These ready-made songs act as a starting point for musicians, whether you’re looking to perform a cover, add your own flair, or completely re-arrange the track. Luke demonstrates how you can quickly access and personalise these songs by adjusting styles, changing tempos, and even layering new instrument voices to match your creative vision.

The PSR-SX920 is equipped with a wide range of Super Articulation 2 Voices, giving you an unmatched level of realism when adding instrument parts to your song. From expressive vibrato on strings to detailed fret noises on guitar, these voices allow you to bring every performance to life with natural nuances that rival live musicians.

Taking Control of Performance

Once you’ve built your song, performing it live is where the PSR-SX920 truly shines. Luke showcases the real-time control features like assignable knobs and a joystick, allowing you to fine-tune pitch, modulation, and other elements of your sound on the fly. The Accompaniment Styles also offer a “backing band” effect, letting you take command of your arrangement while focusing on performance.

Whether you’re a solo performer or part of a larger ensemble, the PSR-SX920 provides the flexibility and control you need to adapt your music in real-time, ensuring your performance is always in sync with your vision.

Customisation with Expansion Packs

Luke also highlights how the PSR-SX920’s Voice & Style Expansion Packs allow musicians to expand their sound library even further. With content from various genres and regions around the globe, these packs let you tailor the keyboard to your unique style, ensuring that the PSR-SX920 can grow with you as you explore new musical directions.
