There are two sides to this issue. The first is,what is this keyboard capable of doing? That's where demo programmers come in. Together with good sequencing onboard there are wonderful things available. I had a DGX 300, and the sequencer stunk on it. I have a YPG 525 now, and the sequencer is incredibly easy to use. It's easy to program almost any instrumentation you want with it. The only problem I have with this keyboard is with the registrations. It will store 16 different registrations available internally in the keyboard, but only one downloaded one.

On the other hand, some of us play well, similar to a Baartmanns, or a Vonken. Then others play "Chopsticks" poorly. One thing that Yamaha has done right is to put teaching software into the newer keyboards so that anyone can learn to play better.

Perhaps the demos built into the keyboards should include something from each area for every person who would be interested. I'm not sure if this is possible.

But thank you anyway for enlightening us on this topic.
