Hi All!

Rikkisbears:
I've had the PR900 since 1996 and it has a pianist mode. I really never used it that much. Got the PR804 which still has the pianist mode. I tried to tinker with it, but I believe it's there for people who play various ways.

When I first learned the piano, I mastered the left and right hands, but when I changed to the organ, I lost the style of playing using the left hand. I can read music, but I need the named chords above the music so I know what chords to play. I can't play the bass clef anymore. With that in mind, using advanced 1 setting is for me. However, there are others who play the piano like a piano should be played, and that's when setting to pianist mode is best. If I still played the piano when I first played it, then I believe I could play in pianist mode.

I don't think the dealer is creating his own arrangements, I just think it's his style of playing and pianist mode works well.

If you update, it's worth spending a little more getting the PR804, the PR604 doesn't have Pads. And I know you like to use Pads.


Hi Audrey Turner:
I still have my PR900, the PR900 does have a better realistic piano sound compared to the PR804. However, I fixed part of the problem with the default reverb setting. The PR804 default setting is Concert1 Total Depth 80 which is way to strong, most everything sounds like in a box. So I manually have to set the reverb to Room1 Total Depth64 which is better. If you get a chance, try playing the PR804 again trying the setting I just mentioned.
