PSRs are designed for the home user, but lo and behold! A lot of pro's use them.

Roland Korg and Ketron TOTL arrangers are designed for pros, but lo and behold! A lot of home users play them...

Doesn't seem like ANYONE is paying any attention to how these things are SUPPOSED to be used...

No offense, Mark, but the S900's OS is no less complicated, no more geared towards a 'home' user (apparently, someone unwilling to crack a manual) than any G70 or SD1+... As they continue to slather new features willy nilly over 'home' arrangers, that have little use or purpose for the player unwilling or unable to fathom their intricacies, they blur the line between 'pro' and 'home' to the point of invisibility.

A LOT of this interminable thread has been about the fact that, basically, stick a decent action on an S900, and offer it with a 76, too, and you have as 'pro' a keyboard as any offered by the supposedly 'pro' manufacturers.

Short of the sub-$500 dollar offerings, they are ALL 'pro' keyboards, at least as far as complexity. But Yamaha are the only ones that insist on putting 'home' actions on 'pro' arrangers. If you basically have to spend $4000 before you can get a Yamaha arranger with an action as good as a $1500 workstation, well, firstly you have to realize that cost of the key-bed is NOT what is preventing this...

Aside from Ian, is there anyone here that actually PREFERS the PSR key-bed to anything else in a similar price point...?
