Let me start with; this is about me, the way I look at my new keyboards, my game plan.

1-If I try using what I have from a previous Yamaha, I will sound pretty much like I always did.

2-What is my Sx900 offering me –Voices, Styles, Pads, and more.

3-My first step was to learn, to understand, everything about the Regs, and playlist. I have work on those two for four weeks, creating and deleting. Always asking; What is Yamaha trying to tell me?

4-My beginning s slow, but once it is set, I can fly through my plan. Anything I put into a Reg is opened to change. If you are playing out, and you want to use your new keyboard in the next few weeks, my ideas will not get you there.

When you stay with the same brand, like I did with Technics, I just added to what I already had. When I went from a Kn7000 to a Korg pa800 I went nuts. (ouch, smile) I had to forget what I knew (systems) about the Kn7000, and learn what Korg was giving me. I am glad I did, my guitar player and audience noticed the difference.

I’m sorry, I do not know how to write a short letter/post, John C.

PS, When I get a new keyboard I always focus on what the keyboard can do.
