Yamaha PSR-5700

The PSR-5700 is somewhat rare, and was one of the early flagship models of the high-end PSR series. It came out around 1992, a year after the PSR-6700 (a 76-key version) and a couple of years before the PSR-6000. As such, you can see physical similarities of both models in the PSR-5700.

Of course the PSR-6000 was then followed by the PSR-7000, PSR-8000, and PSR-9000 (and then the PSR-9000 Pro, Tyros, etc. while the PSR flagship model numbers started over with the PSR-2000, 2100, 3000, and then again with the PSR-S900 and S910...).

I still remember seeing the PSR-5700 for the first time in the music shop when I went in to buy a power supply for the PSR-500 I had just bought at a department store. I was blown away by the number of buttons and features on it (and I had thought the PSR-500 was impressive!). I knew I wanted one, but also knew I could never afford it. Now almost 20 years later the dream has been realized!

I bought my PSR-5700 back in 1994 and it's still my pride and joy. I have another new keyboard, but I keep coming back to my baby. So many great memories... and it makes my playing sound so much better!

I couldn't count the hours I've spent customising the voices and creating my own beats. And I have about 30 disks full of songs that I've recorded on the sequencer. I'm in the process now of transferring all those songs to mp3 and will be posting my best efforts on YouTube.

casiocollector: I hear ya! I also bought a PSR-500 and in the music shop I saw this beast of a PSR-5700, and cried just of fascination! that electronic smell I still have in my nose! and these high tech rubber buttons and feel of the PSR-6700. I was soo envious, but I couldn' afford it back in 1993 I was 15 years old! :-) Greets from Yamaha/Casio lover to another one! :)

Lovely vid. I´ve own the PSR 2500, quite rare that too. Now I have an PSR 730 but I long for an S910... or a Ketron;-)

I would have personally chosen the PSR-500 over the PSR-5700 or better still my Yamaha PSS-790.
