But... After several years of quite vehemently 'defending' the action on the PSR, and saying you prefer it even better than the Tyros FSX while you were playing the PSR, now you have a Tyros with an FSX action, and all of a sudden, wow! That FSX action now is superior to what you have played in the past (i.e., the PSR!).



I see your point, Diki, I really do, and, no, I take no offence.

My statements back then, were as you said.

The FSX is now my favorite action...it's very simple, Diki...people change.

Having spent a lot of time on the Tyros3 before it's sale, I found I started to really get into the touch. The sound was such that I could never get the overall instrument to sound as "sweet" as I wanted it, but, the SA/SA2 voices were still a joy to play via the FSX, and, it sort of grew on me.

With the Tyros4, I like the way the sound responds even better...again, especially the SA/SA2 voices, and also, the Tyros4 sounds even better right out of the box. I needed to change nothing.

Was I ready for a change in keyboard actions?

Probably.

As I said earlier, some of the reasons for desiring the T4 were tangible, and, some were not.

It just feels right, and it feels right at this point in my life.

I don't expect you to understand...perhaps you've never changed your mind over something that you'd never thought you do a reversal on?

In any case, that's the way it is.

Ian

PS...I still really like the action in the PSR-S910...remember, I like nice light actions...the Jupiter 8 has lightweight keys, the Hammond as well...the S910 is much like the Jupiter 8, only with velocity sensitivity.
