The S950 features Yamaha’s renowned "MegaVoices" and "Super Articulation" technology. This allows for incredibly realistic instrument sounds—guitars that sound like they are being fretted, strings that swell naturally, and saxophones with realistic breath noise. Even by today's standards, the sound quality is professional grade.
