Super Articulation 2/Super Articulation+
The PSR-SX920 is the first SX-series instrument to include Super Articulation2 (S.Art2) technology.

Super Articulation2 delivers advanced realism to Voices, previously found only in flagship Arranger Workstations. S.Art2 Voices offer detailed instrument articulations, like glissandos and other nuanced effects unlocking expressive, lifelike instrument characteristics for your performances.

Instruments often produce varying sounds depending on how notes are played. For instance, string instruments can be bowed or plucked. Previously, accessing these different sounds required switching between Voices on your keyboard. With the new Super Articulation Plus Voices (S.Art+), you can now switch articulations instantly with the touch of a button.

Crossfade Portamento
Portamento is a musical technique that smooths out changes in pitch, creating a fluid transition between notes. The Crossfade Portamento feature in PSR-SX smoothly transitions between the notes you play, infusing your performance with expressive dynamics and emotional depth.

Style Dynamics Control
With Style Dynamics Control, the energy and dynamics of all Styles, including User Styles, can be easily adjusted using a single Live controller. Whether you want your backing band to play at a soft pianissimo level, a hard fortissimo level or anything in between, the choice is yours.

EXPANSION EXPLORER App
The new EXPANSION EXPLORER App is the ultimate tool for supercharging your Arranger Workstation experience. Quickly access, search, and preview your favorite Expansion content on iOS, Android, Windows and Mac.
