I can take my ideas and produce them right there at the keyboard. If yamaha were to upgrade the T3 with a decent sequencer they would be have a good chance of toppling my PA1X .....nah perhaps not !! good night fella.


I did not feel knocked - just slightly bruised :-) - just kidding. You found the priorities that work for you and that is fantastic. I also think that it is marvellous that there is such choice out there. Everybody gets to sample the different takes and ideas that the manufacturers put out there. Everyone votes with their wallet and clearly the diversity of choice can only be a good thing, can't it?

Your loyalty and commitment to your brand of choice is admirable and completely understandable, and I think the inter-brand rivalry is ultimately healthy, rather than negative.

I posted in the first instance, as I too am passionate about what I do and frankly spend a large part of my life doing it. I am not going to say I don't get disheartened if somebody slags off what I've done, and perhaps this is unprofessional of me to even be taking part in this discussion, however I do try my hardest, and when it is liked and appreciated, that is very satisfying and I'll take any knocks to push myself further in the pursuit of the unachievable.

All the best
