Hmmmmmmm........Funny how the T2 hype is dwindling fast when new stuff comes along


I look at it this way..........

I... can make most any top arranger sound great because of my abilities as a musician...Im not cocky ...just confident in myself....

How,... I have to do it thru onboard navagation of all its features is my upmost personal concern on stage & my final deciding factor in my purchase......
all this hub bub, mine is better then yours senarios, etc. means nothing to me .....when you know whats right FOR YOU when you make music that will be YOUR correct choice in your heart. Dont let others tell you the KB sounds good....
YOU, MAKE it sound good !

It is good to see a name as John Smies.
Old men like he may speak on this forum just
like others do. Do not judge him too hard,
he is a real musicman and we are all getting
older. I think his favourites are the walz
and the veleta and sometimes on a special
day a mazurka. I think he lives in a house
for elderly people and he is allowed to use
the computer.

DNJ agree with your last post spot on.
If you have the skills and abilities you can knock out any tune on any top end arranger and make it sound great. Who cares what make it is.

Craig.....
now you got the picture my friend......thanx for the reply!!

Right you are...and I can't wait until everybody's attention focusses on the hype surrounding the new PSR3100! (or whatever number they'll give the new 3000).

Dont be surprised if you never see a 3100

I think Yamaha is refocusing their master plan next time around regarding the arranger world of products.......
Tyros/PSR's bye bye......as we know them.

Are you thinking along the idea of modules similar to the Midjay in place of dedicated keyboards?

There will be a new PSR-3000 out next year.
It was held back so as not to compete with the Tyros 2.
It will set a new standard for its price range just as the 3k has done.
There are no plans for an arranger module at present, and it is highly unlikely one will be produced.

Speaking of the PSR3000, I think that Roland could take one great idea from Yamaha's 61 key keyboard - make it light. The PSR3000 has a very adequate sound system, and it is very easy to tote around.

The PSR9000 had great speakers, but people complained about the weight. Roland didn't learn from Yamaha's mistake, apparently.

I'm 44 years old, and I weigh 135lbs. I can't be gigging 10-12 shows a week with a 49lb. monstrosity plus the outboard speakers and stand.

Now one thing lagging in the PSR3000 is a professional key feel. But Casio has shown that you can make a keyboard with 88 weighted keys and keep it under 25lbs.

This is the digital age, and a 61 key keyboard shouldn't be so heavy. 61 keys means it's for gigging.

So I might play the E80, and I might say, I love it, I can afford it. But am I going to kill myself getting it in and out of my trunk and onto the keyboard stand, day after day? No way.

Another thing I must say that I like about the PSR3000, is that it is so reasonably priced, that I own two. One stays in my trunk, and the other is in my studio. I don't have to set up the keyboard when I get home to practice.

The E80 might be a much more advanced instrument, but if I wanted to own two E80's, that would be a heck of a lot of money.

Beakybird,
the new E-60 and E-50 seem to be the answer to your requests.
