I have been on the PSR Tutorial site since it began, and I am a moderator there as well. It's not that no one no like to read criticism of Yamaha products. Usually, when there is criticism, it's because the owner/user has encountered a problem they can not solve or cope with. Fortunately, there are lots of highly skilled users on the site that have a wealth of technical knowledge. These folks have delved into the inner workings of nearly all Yamaha arranger keyboards and synths and more often than not, come up with a solid solution to someone's problems. Or, at the very least, point them in the right direction for a workaround. Not only do they do this with arranger keyboards, but also with amps, mixers, mics, etc..., thus providing the members with a wealth of information at their fingertips.

For example, Don Mason, who is a died in the wool Korg guy, frequents the PSR site and does an excellent job of providing technical information to forum members who encounter problems. DNJ spends a fair amount of time at this site as well. I see Bachus there, too. And, a couple years ago, Yamaha was still monitoring the site and Steve Demming would often chime in and provide some great insight to technical problems.

Chas, the PSR Tutorial site offers a lot of flexibility to all it's forum members. Maybe you should pay a visit to the site and explore the various forum sections. It would take most folks the better part of a day to go through them all, mainly because the site is so diverse.

One thing to keep in mind though, no moderator will tolerate personal attacks on another member. When this happened in the past, those members were banned, some permanently.

All the best,

Gary
