Re: NAMM 2026 for Keyboard Players by zuki @ 2 minutes 50 seconds ago

The 61 and 76 models on the Roland boards are awful. I have to use 2 hands to push down the note near the fulcrum. Even my PSR 920 is a joy to play.

I've had many different ones also. I had all the Korg models and most of the Roland. Currently I have the Yamaha 920. Great instrument, full of great sounds and styles and easy to learn. I use it for live play and it goes well. Folks enjoy the board.

the best way to learn chords is to play them correctly (Not rely on proprietary easy play features), that way you can move between the different keyboard manufactures with ease. Bill

Despite its initial release 10 years ago, the E-A7 is readily available new in the US and foreign markets. An OS update to maintain regulatory compliance was issued in 2024, so Roland still regards it a current model. The same chording system is used

I've owned them all, and over the years, Yamaha has always done the best job for me as an onstage performer. My best advice is to "Try before you buy." Good luck, Gary

One man band hasn't been updated in 7 years. Xmure is more recent, but manipulates audio files, not really how an arranger works. As I mentioned earlier, an arranger is a combination of three things: the arranger engine, the styles, and the sounds.
