Members NeoEsper Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 I also was looking at a S90es and PC3x, here in Canada the S90es can be had for $2200 and the PC3x can be had for $2600. The S90es does have a little bit better piano, but for other sounds I like the PC3x better. In the end I brought a PC3x for under $2500 Canadian, which is about $2000 US, so if you are in the USA look at the north if you want a PC3x.The best price that I saw for PC3x from the USA is from Music123 when they had the 15% off, the PC3x could be had for $2100US.

PC3X does have real nice non-piano sounds. The Rhodes sounds on the S90ES is frikkin' sweet though! I love 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should check out the Rhodes sounds offered on the Vintage Keys soundset- even better than the stock sounds. Lots of good stuff on that bank anyway, but the Rhodes patches are standouts. I've pretty much stopped using my Electro's Rhodes sounds because of that soundset. Once in a while I use one when the Yam is doing another duty.

Members akliner Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 I thought it was for his S90. Also, didn't they look like little coffins laying there unattached? Yeah, but he had them put on the RD700GX he had for a while and then teased me with ownership and then gave it to somebody in Texas. I'm still in therapy over it.

Just kidding - you will actually see the full beast in this real super serious LMAO mock akliner thread.

Members Miket156 Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 quote by gigman: '$1,669.99 for the S9ES - brand new.' Gary-That's a steal. My local dealer sells it for under MAP Price, like $1849, and there's another store in the mid west I deal with that I know sells under my local dealer, although I never priced an S90ES. I will have to keep your store in mind if I am price shopping. ES series has some GREAT Rhodes sounds. now, I read that the PC3 has up to 32 layers on some of their Rhodes sounds, so you probably wouldn't notice any velocity switching on it. That said, I've been really happy with the variety of Rhodes sounds on my Motif ES8 (same sound set as the S90ES). I've had mine for over 4 years and its still sounds great to my ears. Enjoy! Mike T.

Members Outkaster Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 I wonder if there will be an XS-90? Maybe something new will come out at NAMM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GigMan Posted December 31, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 I wonder if there will be an XS-90? Maybe something new will come out at NAMM? In the words of "Achmed the Dead Terrorist (actually the voice of Jeff Dunham, the excellent comedian/ventriloquist who controls Achmed & others) - "Silence! I keeel you!" I'll be pissed if there's an S90XS coming out soon - but usually NAMM show models are only prototypes so even if it does show at NAMM it probably wouldn't hit the streets until May or June.

Members Goofball Jones Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 I doubt we'll see a S90xs coming out soon. But hopefully if they do decide to do it, they don't screw it up like leaving off aftertouch or something like that. Companies are always screwing up legacy boards by leaving something off it seems.

Members akliner Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 If they made an S90XS I'd be in even more trouble. I've been trying to find a new {censored}ing 88 key for almost a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to find a new {censored}ing 88 key for almost a year Big deal - I've been on the hunt to upgrade to a new 88 key machine for about 5 years... no joke! So when I cracked open the box on that brand new S90ES yesterday it was a momentous occasion in my life - much like getting married or having kids. Though not as expensive.

Members dan88z Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 Make sure you download the librarian software from Yamaha's site. It's very handy for managing, editing, and backing up your sounds. The editor is real nice because you can see most of the parameters on one screen and not have to go thru all the menus. There are several free sound banks on the Sninety.com site that have some nice usable sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nicky Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 gigman-if you waited 5 yrs , why not just wait 2 more weeks to see if there's a new S90 XS at Namm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mildbill Posted January 1, 2009 Members Share Posted January 1, 2009 I think there'll be an S90XS, but I thought the last couple S series boards were introduced in the summer. (not sure).You can't use plug-in boards in the XS though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
